"Old fox, I really don't want to get any cause and effect!" Zhang Qian quickly guessed that Yang Qian's expectations for him may be limited to the range of "two shots with dates or no dates", or, far from as high as he thought before, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

While disappointed, after the imperial desk, Li Xian's command had already been heard, "Zhang Qing, Mr. Lu questioned the cost of windmills and mechanics, which is not something that our Tang people can afford. I and Xiao Pushe are not very clear about this. I am afraid that it will be difficult to estimate clearly in a while. How much does these two powerful tools cost? Is Zhang Qing willing to solve my doubts in public?"

"Master, I am willing!" Since there is a chance to show my performance, Zhang Qian certainly would not push out. He smiled and walked a few more steps forward, and said loudly, "The initial cost of these two powerful tools was indeed extremely high. In order to verify their effectiveness, I once made a complete set in his own village. The total cost is about 400 Kaiyuan Tongbao!"

"Hiss" sounded like a gasp in Zichen Hall. Except for the right servant Xiao Zhizhong, almost everyone felt a little sympathy for Sha Chongyi in their hearts.

The cost of four hundred huts is indeed the savings of a hundred families in ten years, and it may even be insufficient. According to this cost, unless the emperor spends all the treasury to support it, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there may not be more than 10,000 households that can afford the combination of windmills and wells.

Zhang Qian wanted this effect. Without waiting for the fourth-rank official who was specifically in a difficult situation with him to take advantage of the problem, he quickly added with a smile, "Weichen found that this item is expensive and it is difficult for me, the people of the Tang Dynasty to afford it. So he vowed to work hard to improve its technology and reduce its cost. With the joint efforts of the military weapon supervisor and the general supervisor, with the strong support of the two supervisors, now, the cost of these two powerful weapons is less than fifty. And if the court is preparing to manufacture it in large quantities, we still have a way to reduce its cost by half!"

"Ah, wouldn't that be twenty-five hangs are enough!"

"Twenty-five huddles, cheap! I'll make a pair when I turn back!"

"Made? I think beautifully! No wonder the emperor specially ordered the people from Dushuiguan to chase the court. This thing must be used by Dushuiguan first!"

"There are people in the Imperial Heaven Sect. This time, they don't have to scream like crows all day long!"

"It's cheaper for military weapons and supervisors, so Zhang Zhuan is very good at being a good person!"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

"Your Majesty is a blessing!"

...

It seemed as if cold water splashed into the oil pan, and the sound of discussion and cheers in the Zichen Hall instantly sounded.

Looking at the Royal Book Case, Li Xian was also so fond of her face that she was flushed. She wanted to rush down and hug Zhang Qian in her arms and turn around three times.

It's too bitter, the emperor is too bitter! Since the second time he ascended the throne, the flood has not stopped. The fertile land around Chang'an City has become increasingly deserted due to floods. Some people have repeatedly argued that he is not worthy of being the emperor. When he knew it, he could only swallow his anger! (Note: This is a historical fact. When Li Xian became the emperor for the second time, floods, sandstorms, and total solar eclipses followed one after another. It was so unlucky.)

From now on, whoever dares to secretly say that he is not worthy of his position can be ordered to arrest the person with confidence, and then tie the person under the windmill to death.

"You, you..." Seeing so many people standing up at once, they wanted to help the right servant Xiao Zhizhong verify the authenticity of what Zhang Qian said, Lu Zhengming, the Minister of Personnel, finally realized that not only could he not stop Zhang Qian's future today, but he would become a stepping stone for climbing in the other direction. He was so embarrassed that his face was flushed and sweat was rolling down his forehead.

"Since all the ministers have the intention of helping the right servant shoot with one arm, I am certainly happy to see it happen!" Just as he was so embarrassed that he could swallow his previous words back, he heard Emperor Li Xian slapped the table with his hands excitedly, "Come here, come and take the paper and pen. I want to witness with my own eyes how Zhang Qing showed his unique skills!"
