Chapter 12
"You read it right?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian who came to report the situation in front of him, and was shocked: "Is this new plow really like what you said?"

According to Li Junxian's report, this new type of plow is at least three times faster than the current plow. If the new type of plow only needs an ox, the efficiency of this new type of plow is at least six times that of the current plow.

What is this concept?
Six times!

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many people but little land. When there were fewer people, there was less land to plant, and then the harvests would naturally be less.

But now with the new plow, one person can plant six times as much land.

This is simply an artifact!

"Your Majesty, what I said is what I saw with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Li Junxian immediately said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, after trying the plow, Fang Qi also taught the Imperial Superintendent who was present."

"lesson?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian, and then asked, "Could it be that he beat them with the whip I gave you?"

"That's not true. It's just a few verbal lessons."

Li Junxian recounted the situation at that time.

"To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to create peace for all generations?"

After Li Shimin listened to Li Junxian's words, he immediately chanted these four sentences silently.

It was as if the whole person was bewildered.

Picking up the pen, he directly wrote these four sentences on the paper in front of him.

"good, very good, excellent!"

Li Shimin immediately said: "These four sentences are very good! Jun Xian, take these four sentences down, let Yan Liben make a plaque, and hang it at the gate of the Imperial College for me!
Let them take a good look at these four sentences and let them read these four sentences with their hearts!

Have a good understanding and a good experience. After a month, everyone will give me their experience! "

"Yes!"

Li Junxian immediately took the order and left.

"Auxiliary machine, come out."

Li Shimin yelled, and Changsun Wuji, who was hiding behind the screen, came out: "Tell me your opinion, this time, will you admit defeat?"

"Chen, I am willing to bet and admit defeat. What Chong'er owes, I will definitely give."

Changsun Wuji had already come to the imperial study, but when Li Junxian came to report, Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji to hide behind the screen.

How could he refuse to admit defeat at this time?
He could really hear the effect of the new plow from behind the screen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is auspicious.

Fang Qi is the one who offered auspiciousness, this letter of credit is terrible, the eldest grandson Wuji knows Li Shimin's character.

There is absolutely no turning point in this matter.

The most important thing is that his son has done stupid things first, so it is impossible for him to favor his son.

If you continue to favor, it will only make Li Shimin unhappy.

It was naturally impossible for Changsun Wuji to do such a thing.

"Auxiliary machine, Chong'er is young, you have to teach him well, otherwise he won't be the only one who will suffer in the future."

Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji as if pointing something: "This matter should teach him a lesson. Don't be arrogant in the future. You must know that there are people outside of people, and there is a sky outside of the sky."

"I understand."

Changsun Wuji could only nod his head.

"By the way, auxiliary machine, how should the credit for this new plow be calculated?"

Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji: "Tell me how I should reward you?"

"Your Majesty, this plow can be called auspicious, and it is an important weapon of the country. I think that for this credit, I can be named a county prince."

What Changsun Wuji said was completely in line with the rewards of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the truth, the county prince must have military exploits before he can be named.

But it was an accident for Fang Qi. This new type of plow increased Datang's farming efficiency by six times. This is not one or two times, but six times. Such an increase is equivalent to increasing Datang's grain production.

Food is the lifeblood of everything, and this contribution is not insignificant.

The county magistrate is fully capable.

But Fang Qi's age is too young, if you give him the title of Duke, it will not be a reward.

It's about flattery, if a young man who has not yet reached the crown, if he is named the Duke of the county, he will inevitably invite people to gossip, this is a stumbling block for Changsun Wuji.

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin nodded silently, but didn't say much.

At this time, a dispute was going on outside Chang'an City.

Changsun Chong lost, according to the bet, he had to pay [-] mu of land, two shops, three storefronts, and two houses.

This is a huge sum of money. Ordinary people work hard for a lifetime, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get so much.

Although Changsun Chong's family is rich and they are the first-class family members in Datang, but after all, Changsun Chong is not the head of the family. These things were given by Changsun Wuji to his own son by virtue of his status as the head of the family.

If Changsun Chong lost these things, then his status in the Changsun's family would not be that good.

No matter how much Changsun Wuji loves Changsun Chong, when it conflicts with the family's interests, the family's interests are more important than anything else. This is the ancient aristocratic family. For the interests of the family, the patriarch can even be sacrificed!
Just like before, the patriarch of the Changsun family was Changsun Anye, who drove Changsun Wuji out of the house, and finally Changsun Wuji boarded Li Shimin's boat and successfully completed the counterattack. The Changsun family decisively gave up Changsun Anye and embraced The eldest grandson Wuji was established as the patriarch.

This is the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family only has interests in their eyes, and only those who can develop and grow the family can become heirs.

A prodigal son is absolutely not qualified.

Changsun Chong lost so many things in one bet, he is undoubtedly a proper prodigal son.

So Changsun Chong was ready to act rogue at this time.

However, Changsun Chong was playing a rogue, so some people naturally disagreed.

For example, Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong.

Both of these two are big bosses in the military, but Changsun Wuji is a civilian official.

We are not on the same path.

Above the court, there was constant friction.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to add insult to injury, the two of them naturally couldn't let this opportunity pass.

Although these [-] acres of land and a few houses are just a drop in the bucket for the Changsun family.

But this is a disgusting opportunity for the eldest grandson Wuji, so it is impossible for the two of them to let it go.

The most important thing is that this matter is justifiable, standing on the commanding heights of morality, even if Changsun Wuji is upset, it can't change this fact, even if it goes to Li Shimin, they are also reasonable, so they are not afraid of these things at all.

In fact, the two of them didn't want to care about this matter at first, but Cheng Yaojin saw Cheng Chumo win the money, and his mouth was crooked, so he couldn't help but come out.

He took away all Cheng Chumo's money, just happened to meet Changsun Chong playing a rogue, and had to stand up to show his position. Not only that, he also dragged Li Xiaogong out, and the two teamed up together.

"Since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to repay debts. Grandson and nephew, don't make mistakes. If you don't have faith, you won't stand!"

Li Xiaogong looked at Changsun Chong, he knew that Changsun Wuji was his cousin's nephew, the kind he loved very much, but he still stood by Fang Qi's side.
