Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

Li Shimin sat up straight abruptly, and his eyes lowered to reveal an emotion that seemed to be surprised and delighted.

“What?!”

“The water you are pointing to in your mouth should not refer to the well but to the river, right?”

Du Ruxian and Fang Xuanling were shocked, and they also leaned over and listened intently.

Li Yuanfang smiled easily.

“With the power of wind and water flow, water pipes are laid so that water flows into homes through the pipes.”

Li Shimin keenly realized that this was a good thing, so he said eagerly.

“Listen carefully.”

Li Yuanxian explained the plan for the entire water project.

Li Shimin, Du Ruxi, and Fang Xuanling’s eyes lit up when they heard this, and they praised in unison.

“Wonderful!”

“I wonder if Your Highness can supply water to the whole city with this project?”

“Is the entire water supply facility expensive?”

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, and spread his hands in front of the excited three.

“Well, Yanshou Fang has a river running through it, except for the customized valves, the pipes at all levels are custom-made in the ceramic factory, to be honest with your problem… I can’t answer. ”

“Not only is the water supply in the city, but also the irrigation of the farmland?” Fang Xuanling asked excitedly.

“The irrigation water for the farmland outside the city, the construction of additional canals, and the use of wind, manpower, water power and animal power to set up a new irrigation system, this set is now more practical for domestic use.” Li Yuanfang nodded and said honestly.

“There are actually more suitable for irrigation.” Du Ruxian was overjoyed: “Can His Highness let the old minister look at the drawings?” ”

“Calm down, wait for my experiment to succeed before you get excited?” Li Yuanfang was frightened by their excitement.

Li Shimin bowed his head slightly, and his words were also a little excited.

“Yes, the water supply project that Yuanfang envisioned can theoretically be upgraded to a city-wide water supply pipeline.”

Li Yuanfang quickly shook his head and began to pour cold water on the overexcited three.

“Don’t be happy, let’s say that the cost of laying out such a large stall at once is very staggering.”

“Assuming that the cost exceeds the concurrence of the imperial court, the things you envision can only be empty talk, and the day of realization is far away.”

Du Ruxian shook his head disapprovingly.

“The old minister does not agree with the view of the palace trial, my Tang is not like the barbarians of the Fanbang, and the imperial court should always put the people first.”

Fang Xuanling listened to Li Yuanfang’s words a little, and his mind was already slightly calmer Xia Li.

“Your Majesty, trouble send someone to ask Hube Shangshu to ask him to calculate the cost.”

“Cough, cough, continue talking after seeing the cost.”

Li Shimin nodded, and raised his voice to call the guards to Xuanhubu Shangshu.

……

In the waiting time.

Li Yuanfang handed over the structure diagram of the water supply system of Yanshou Fang, the Zhou Wangfu, and slowly explained the whole plan.

Li Shimin also understood under the explanation, this plan is not simple, and he can’t help but look solemn.

“What plans does Ninth Brother have for the future?”

“Planning?” Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, his eyes showing an unprecedented firmness.

“The junior brother wants to set up a grid and invite like-minded people to study the use of all things that benefit the people, such as quyuan plows, sugar, green bricks, lime, and so on.”

“I hope to accept all the miscellaneous sciences such as arithmetic and medicine that are not paid attention to, and integrate them to add bricks to my Tang Dynasty.”

Du Ruxian and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and they were both puzzled in each other’s eyes.

“The old man doesn’t understand, what exactly prompted you to think like this?” Fang Xuanling asked a little curiously.

Li Yuanfang had long thought that he would be investigated by others, so he said very easily.

“No one farms, what do we eat?”

“Without craftsmen, where do the tools we use come from?”

“Without a doctor, what should we do if we are sick?”

“Embroiderers, cooks, etc., people who have a skill in all aspects do not receive the attention they deserve.”

“I just don’t think the way of the world should be like this, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the development of all walks of life.”

A flash of essence flashed under Du Ruxian’s eyes, and he suddenly asked a sharp question.

“Does His Highness think that the world should not respect Confucianism alone and govern the country with benevolence and filial piety?”

“……”

Li Yuanfang was directly silent and did not say another half a word.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin took a deep breath.

“Forgive you for being innocent, Ninth Brother say what you think, in fact, Shu also wants to know your answer.”

“Taking agriculture as the foundation, governing the country according to law, and the spirit of industry, and commerce are the long-term and stable policies of the junior brothers.”

“Shi refers to the officials of the imperial court, the literati and students in Shilin, agriculture refers specifically to the food level, labor may be a convenient tool, and the world’s roads and water conservancy… But I don’t understand what Shang means? ”

“Merchants buying and selling goods in various places can promote the interconnection between states and counties, and connect them closely through various needs, so as to deepen the people’s understanding of the country.”

The brothers asked and answered, and Li Yuanfang confessed everything he understood.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement after listening to it, although he had not yet understood the relationship between these words and the Gewu Yuan, but this did not prevent him from understanding the importance of the Gewu Yuan.

“Okay, you can let it go, Xu will send someone to empty the Yanshou Fang, and the whole Fang will be your territory in the future.”

“The ugly thing is that the treasury and private treasury are not abundant, and they cannot provide you with financial support.”

Seeing that Li Shimin was so generous, Li Yuanfang shrugged his shoulders, and he was not polite at the moment.

“It is enough for the royal brother to support the attitude, and the junior brother has already thought of a solution to the problem of money.”

“Oh? What way? ”

“The Gewu Institute is a place dedicated to research and cultivating talents, so my junior brother is going to build another Hundred Treasures Pavilion to sell research results to the outside world to achieve self-sufficiency.”

Li Yuanfang put it simply.

While Li Shimin was moved, he couldn’t help but think that Li Yuanfang was okay when he was alive, and there should be no one in the Gewu Academy for personal gain, but Li Yuanfang was gone?

“Well, I think that the people in the Gewu Courtyard do not need to participate in the discussion of the imperial court, but they can be equipped with official positions, the highest grade is the third grade, and the other positions are for you to decide, so the ninth brother, you have to make a plan and hand it over to Shu.”

Li Yuanfang stood up excitedly, and suddenly said enthusiastically.

“Thank you Brother Huang for your support, Brother Chen understands what to do.”

“One day, our people will not worry about eating and drinking, not afraid of foreign invasion, nor afraid of being sick and incurable.”

Li Shimin couldn’t help but slap the table and shout with enthusiasm.

“Good, ambitious, our brothers work together to make my Tang stand on top of the world.”

As soon as the words fell, a shrill voice unique to the inner attendant sounded outside the imperial study.

“Report, Hube Shangshu asks for a meeting!”

“Xuan come in!”

At this time, a guard and Xiao Yu walked in.

“Back to Your Majesty, Hube Shangshu has been brought.”

“Hard work on you, quit.”

“No!”
