Chapter 1872 Changes

There is no doubt that Cheng Chumu and his friends are all big mouthed. Anything they know is equivalent to all the prestigious children of Chang'an city knowing.
And all the noble sons and daughters of Chang'an city knew this, which means that the entire population of Chang'an knew.
For those who are interested in the steam weaving machine, this is great news.
All the wealthy and prosperous people in Chang'an are looking forward to the upcoming meeting. In fact, not only Chang'an, but also the wealthy people from Luoyang have come by train to Chang'an. The merchants who were planning to leave Chang'an soon have also stayed back.
Chang'an suddenly became especially lively, especially the brothels and taverns.
After convincing Li Shimin, the conference was finally held grandly at the academy.
This could be the biggest event since the establishment of the academy, and the faculty and students are all excited beyond words.
Although the emperor did not attend, many important officials such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, as well as the aristocrats and prominent families, all showed up. It was beyond imagination for these students who came from humble backgrounds.
First, Su Cheng showed them around the steam-powered spinning machines. After the tour, everyone exclaimed how worthwhile it was to attend this business meeting.
The steam-powered spinning machines were indeed as efficient and powerful as they had imagined. Once again, it was proven that the steam engine was the greatest invention of all time.
After visiting the steam textile machine, all they could think about was wanting one.
The auditorium of the academy was packed with people, as Su Cheng passionately explained the patent system in detail.
Su Cheng is promoting the patent system, which is no secret. It has been circulated for some time and almost everyone who is interested in steam textile machines has heard of it and thought about it seriously.
After seeing the steam-powered loom, their last remaining doubts evaporated. What could be more important than acquiring a steam-powered loom?
By paying a certain price, one can purchase a steam-powered loom from the institute. By paying a higher price, one can even obtain authorization from the institute and receive plans to manufacture the steam-powered loom. The institute will also send experts to provide guidance. Could there be any better outcome than this?
After the success of the business conference was announced, the price of cloth in Chang'an dropped significantly. Cloth merchants began to sell because they knew that the widespread use of steam-powered spinning machines would greatly impact the current cloth market.
Ordinary people naturally enjoy this, who wouldn't want to buy cheaper fabrics? Who doesn't want to make a new piece of clothing?
In fact, the fabric price has been stable for a long time, and they never thought that the fabric price could actually fall, and it has fallen so much!
However, no one is foolish enough to hoard fabric because everyone knows that once steam-powered textile machinery becomes popular, the price of fabric will definitely drop.
Su Cheng once again brought great surprises to the people of Chang'an, and they praised the academy unanimously.
At first, no one thought highly of the college, but now the college's reputation has greatly improved.
Just because the college nurtures students who can't become officials doesn't mean they can't do good things for the country and the people. They can bring greater benefits to the world than being officials.
As for the emergence of the patent system, there wasn't much of a reaction in Chang'an because the common people couldn't understand the significance of this matter and didn't think it was relevant to them.
Only a few craftsmen heard about this and felt uplifted. If they could improve or invent something mechanical, wouldn't they have wealth and prosperity for a lifetime?
Although they knew they didn't have the talent of the Duke of Rongguo, inventing or improving a mechanical device would still be extremely difficult. But at least they have a chance to change their fate, right?
And the establishment of colleges, the shock of steam engines to the world, and the emergence of the patent system all mean that the status of craftsmen will be greatly elevated.
Therefore, in the hearts of many craftsmen, Duke Rongguo, Su Cheng, is a god-like existence that no one can match.
All people were immersed in the joy of the popularization of steam-powered looms, ignoring the huge impact of the patent system.
As time passed, people gradually realized how much surprise the academy and Su Cheng's patent system brought to the world.
A train was running on the rails with dense smoke, and people inside the train were reading newspapers, napping, or chatting. Passengers were no longer excited as before because the train was no longer a new thing, only children would find it fresh.
Inside the exclusive carriage, Su Cheng looked out the window and sighed slightly at the thick smoke that flew by from time to time. The tidal wave of the Industrial Revolution was unstoppable. Today, he didn't know whether his actions were right or wrong.
Su Chang'an sat beside Su Cheng, who had a slender physique and looked like a young man with a calm demeanor. As he gazed at the scenery along the way, his eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.
Although his mother often nagged in his ear that he would become the king of Silla in the future, he did not have a deep impression of Silla. On the contrary, he had a deep affection for Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty, and he had so many relatives and friends in the Tang Dynasty.
想到这里他不由看了一眼对面正在母亲怀里牙牙学语的妹妹，心里感到十分的遗憾。
如果母亲生的不是妹妹，而是弟弟，那该有多好，那他就可以将王位让给弟弟，将来让弟弟去继承王位。
Currently, the aunt is the Queen of Silla, so technically the younger sister could inherit the throne. However, it is not guaranteed that the father, mother, and aunt will agree since he, as the eldest son, is the preferred choice.
So, the road ahead is still long and arduous.
If only my mother could give birth to a younger brother, then he could rightfully pass the throne to him.
Unfortunately, my mother is returning to Silla now. Thinking of this, Su Chang'an couldn't help but let out a gentle sigh.
Before leaving Chang'an, he also advised his mother not to hurry back to Silla, but his mother said that they had left Silla for several years, and if they didn't go back to take a look, the subjects of Silla might have forgotten them.
The scenery outside the window flew past, and Jin Seon-myeon couldn't help but sigh lightly. Her heart was also full of reluctance.
When she first came to Chang'an, she originally planned to stay for two or three years and then return to Silla, but then she became pregnant and stayed in Chang'an.
However, the longer she stayed in Chang'an, the less she wanted to leave, but her reasoning told her she had to leave Chang'an.
Nevertheless, her sister had reminded her in several letters to return to Silla, and her reasoning also told her that she had to go back to Silla.
