Chapter 337 Dowry
The talks between the two sides did not end until noon, but most of them did not speak, but kept recording what they said between the two sides, especially those Tang officials who followed Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng.
After the talks were over, Huo Gang, who returned to his resident, didn't think much about it. There were still many things happening here.
But Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian, who returned to the embassy, were discussing this matter. "Brother Gao, I have an idea. I don't know if Brother Gao can agree." Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and said.
"Please speak with Mr. Wei." Gao Shilian looked at Wei Zheng with a strange look.
"I want to stay in the Han Dynasty for a year and see what the Han Dynasty is like here. I wonder what Brother Gao said? Didn't Minister Wu tell us before? This embassy area was built for us. This embassy embassy is the territory of our Tang Dynasty. He will discuss with His Majesty that our Tang Dynasty and our Han Dynasty will each send an ambassador to each other's country."
"In this way, we can maintain contact at any time." Wei Zheng said seriously.
Although this era is limited by communication and the role of ambassadors may not be as good as that of later generations, there are some things that can actually play a great role if they happen, so this ambassadors are still effective.
"This... Duke Wei, what does it mean to stay here? You still have important tasks in Chang'an. Even if you have an ambassador to guard it, you shouldn't be Duke Wei, and Your Majesty probably won't agree." Gao Shilian was really shocked.
He thought of all kinds of things, but he didn't expect that Wei Zheng would stay here.
"I'm not very useful when I returned to Chang'an. I know this. I'm not as good as you guys in various work. The only reason why I, Wei Zheng, can persist is that I am a very counselor, correcting Your Majesty's mistakes."
"But to be honest, even if I return to Chang'an now, do you think I still have a chance to correct Your Majesty in the next one or two days?" Wei Zheng looked at Gao Shilian and spoke.
"Why isn't this?" Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand Wei Zheng's thoughts.
"Brother Gao, you forgot that Your Majesty's ambition is different now than before. To be honest, if Your Majesty is just to maintain stability, then there is indeed something that needs me, but if Your Majesty wants to show his ambition next, then the probability of his mistake will be very low."
"Especially, almost all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty will stand on His Majesty's side. The place I can stop is not big. Since that's the case, I might as well stay here to learn more about the great man and Huo Gang." Wei Zheng said seriously.
Gao Shilian pondered for a moment. He knew that what Wei Zheng said was correct. To be precise, Wei Zheng’s current idea must be different from before. He had never seen such a Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian before.
Since he was scolded by Du Ruhui, it seems that this has been the case. No matter what, if he wants to stay, Gao Shilian thought about it. This is a good way, because Gao Shilian knew very well that if he had anything, he would definitely not hide it. Such a person is sometimes more suitable for acting as diplomatic envoys.
"However, Mr. Wei, if you are not here..." Gao Shilian said helplessly.
"Then you rely on your care for me, Mr. Gao." Wei Zheng spoke directly.
Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment. Wei Zheng would never say this before, but now Wei Zheng said this with a calm expression.
Gao Shilian took a serious look at Wei Zheng. At this moment, Wei Zheng's expression was very serious. Gao Shilian could tell that he was not joking, but it was precisely because of this that he also knew that Wei Zheng was very serious and had a very determined mind.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, Your Majesty also gave us the right to make temporary decisions before we come out. However, if I return to Chang'an and Your Majesty ordered you to recall you, you probably have to come back." Gao Shilian said helplessly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't. It's winter when you return to Chang'an. Your Majesty has many things and strategies to adjust this winter, and the New Year is about to be held again. In the beginning of spring, your Majesty will probably take the first area of Wuyuan and other areas. Then next year, Your Majesty will probably march towards the 40,000 acres of black soil." Wei Zheng thought for a while and spoke.
"At this time, we need a stable western situation. Although we have signed a covenant with the Tang Dynasty, I can also give the Tang Dynasty a stable logistics situation here."
“So my stay here is also the best choice.”
"Okay, then I'll go back, and I'll ask you to stay, and you'll leave twenty guards and three officials from the envoys to help you here." Gao Shilian thought for a while and spoke.
"Yes." Wei Zheng did not object to this. If he stayed here, someone would really need help.
"Then I will ask Chief Huo Gang to leave as soon as possible." Gao Shilian also nodded.
Since I have made a decision, I will naturally not hesitate.
The next day, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng directly told Huo Gang the request. Huo Gang naturally had no objection to Wei Zheng's choice to stay. Although he was a little surprised, he simply agreed. The embassy was built. Although the ambassador came very early, Huo Gang had already expected such a thing.
However, Gao Shilian and the others were unable to leave. The main reason was that Huo Gang's betrothal gift was not ready yet. It would take about three days, and Huo Gang would directly send a part of the transport convoy to Chang'an.
Because these things transported, that is, Huo Gang's convoy here, can ensure their safety, and Huo Gang is not at ease to hand them over to others.
After Li Shimin gave such a big gift, Huo Gang could not be stingy as a betrothal gift. However, Huo Gang had already made people make these things. First of all, the first gift was the Quaro Plough. The Quaro Plough has been improved by the second generation, mainly to be more in line with the mechanical model and save manpower and animal power.
Compared with the previous straight plow, the curved plow itself saves a lot of manpower and animal power. For example, when the straight plow used to require almost two oxes to pull the plowing land, the curved plow can be easily pulled by just one ox.
Moreover, the turning and other turns are more flexible. Wang Shan and the others have tested it. For the same land, the straight-rod plow uses two cows and one cow. The speed of plowing the land between the two is almost the same. After a day, the curved plow is even faster.
After testing the plough of the curved plow in the Industrial City, after replacing the plough that can be switched left and right, and the curvature has been changed to a certain extent, its efficiency has been increased by at least 20%.
Such plows are almost the same as those used in rural areas in the 1900s. At least when Huo Gang was a child, their family could cultivate the land with just one mule. Of course, two mules could also be used, but two mules could be faster and not so wasteful.
When Huo Gang was a child, he only raised a mule at home. When he was arriving, he borrowed it from his neighbors and borrowed animals from each other to use it. At that time, their family planted more than 50 acres of land, and almost all of them were animal power.
From this we can see how fast the Quecop Plough improves efficiency. Quecop Plough was originally named Lu Ji Li, but Lu Ji did not agree, so after thinking about it, since he was going to give a betrothal gift, Huo Gang simply named this plough Changle Plough.
Then this kind of pear was directly registered within the scope of Dahan. Any business in Dahan that operates this kind of plowing tool sold would have to pay a 5-cent patent fee to the little loli who is still in Chang'an.
Of course, the amount of this money is actually not large, because for most people, many people choose to find someone to build their own plows. For the time being, there is definitely no patent fee for this kind of situation of finding someone to build and use it for their own use.
Moreover, in order to increase arable land in the early stage, Huo Gang had already given a large number of free batches. Even if this batch was filled, there was not much before.
As for the Tang Dynasty, Huo Gang didn't mind writing a letter to Li Shimin for the patent statement. As for how to implement it, whether Li Shimin is willing to implement it is Li Shimin's business.
But Huo Gang felt that Li Shimin would implement it because as long as the patent is established, it is actually a bridle for the aristocratic families and a hole. When Li Shimin wants to use it, he can dig a hole for the other party at any time.
In addition, the second batch of gifts is a batch of mercury mirrors. These mirrors are large and small, and many of them have been made into dressing boxes of different styles.
In addition, there is a franchise that comes with this thing, which is also for Changle. Anyway, this is his future wife. Although he is still a little loli, the money he gives her will always be his own in the future... isn't it?
In addition, there are some gadgets, which are considered to be something that Huo Gang gave to Changle privately.

The whole batch of betrothal gifts is not too large, but the number is definitely quite large. As for how Changle handles the shares in this group, it depends on her own. Huo Gang doesn't matter.
Anyway, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to make glass in a short period of time.
However, Huo Gang sent two sets of books to Changle, one of which was a geography book, but not a complete book, but a screening by Huo Gang, and the second set was mathematics.
