Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Changle had already pulled Li Shimin to the new plow to speak out, and at this time the emperor finally remembered the purpose of his trip.

Li Shimin's complexion froze slightly. Could it be that I want to study plowing too, but seeing three pairs of expectant eyes, he just swallowed what he wanted to say.

never mind!

After thinking secretly in his heart, he began to observe the plow, which seemed different from the usual plow.

"Father, Grandpa An entrusted us with a task, which is to find out the difference between this new plow and the previous plow."

Gao Ming said from the side, because he seemed to see the purpose of his father's trip, so he took the lead in explaining.

"It really is this old man!"

Li Shimin thought to himself, he guessed a lot of people, and vaguely had a final candidate, and the cheap father-in-law was the most likely candidate.

Chapter 31 God bless me, God bless Tang Dynasty

Although Li Shimin has a lot of complaints about this cheap father-in-law, but now is not the time to complain, let alone that father-in-law always has deep meaning every time he does something.

Even he has to admit that seemingly meaningless things can always see different results in his cheap father-in-law.

Then Li Shimin took a serious look at the new plow, except for a slight change in appearance, it seemed to be the same.

"Father, what do you see?"

Chang Le couldn't help looking at his father Huang Dao with a look of hope. From the looks of it, his father is omnipotent, so he must be able to see the difference.

However, Li Shimin didn't know how to speak. Could it be that I didn't see anything? This is not to damage my prestige.

Suddenly I had an idea!

"Since it's a plow, let's go to plow and see, don't you know the difference?!"

Li Shimin's voice sounded, and there seemed to be a trace of certainty in his words, thinking that the difference could be seen by just cultivating.

The eyes of the three children present lit up, because they were all in the palace and had no chance to go out at all. As for the palace, there was no land for them to cultivate.

It's just that what they didn't notice was that their father's eyes seemed to be a little wandering. In fact, Li Shimin didn't have confidence in his words.

After all, he didn't think the new plow would be of much use, but in order not to lose his prestige, he was quick to use his wits.

But now Li Shimin is thinking about how to get out, since he has no confidence in farming and can tell the difference, so naturally he has to find an excuse in advance to leave.

Li Shimin kept winking at the eunuch Wang De next to him, but Wang De, the new eunuch, obviously didn't understand the emperor's mind.

At this time, Li Shimin didn't show any expression on the surface, and he was already thinking about changing to a eunuch in his heart, but Wang De had been working hard since he became his personal eunuch, and there was no major mistake.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Wang De on the side couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he didn't know that his status was almost lost.

Although there are no farm cattle or farmland in the palace, there is one in Huangzhuang. Those who have long missed roasted fish and roasted duck can't wait.

As a result, under the leadership of several people, Li Shimin left Chang'an City and came to Huangzhuang. Even Li Shimin did not expect such a result.

At this time, the emperor is obviously in a very bad mood. He may lose his prestige later, and he may face remonstrance tomorrow.

"Jun Xian, are things ready?"

Li Shimin said listlessly, how could the emperor's trip be so simple, it had been arranged in advance, even if he didn't want to come out for this trip.

"Your Majesty, the cattle and barren fields are ready."

Li Junxian said respectfully, at first he had some doubts, he didn't know why His Majesty asked him to prepare these things, but he knew it when he saw the prince and others.

Of course he is aware of the recent rumors in the palace, and even spread to Chang'an, but recently they are discussing Lingyan Pavilion and Shumen Ten Questions.

Therefore, there is not much market for rumors, but as time goes by, it may not be so. It is obvious that these rumors have reached the ears of some ministers.

"Let people start plowing the land. I want to see how the new plow makes a difference."

Li Shimin also began to look serious and said, even though he had decided that he couldn't find anything, he still wanted to say something different.

On a deserted field not far away, four oxen had already stood up, and each of the two oxen was pulling a different plow behind them, one was an ordinary plow, and the other was Gao Ming who had come back from Shu'an. New plow.

"Start tilling the land!"

After the voice fell, Li Junxian began to give orders.

Some people have already controlled the cattle and started to plow the land on the barren fields, and the people present saw some clues just at the beginning.

"The new plow seems to plow the field faster."

Changle's face became excited, because this should be the answer Grandpa An wanted.

As for Gao Ming and Qing Que, they also nodded, their expressions were very happy, obviously they thought they had found the answer.

Li Shimin on the side was originally observing carefully, but gradually his eyes began to focus, which was different from the observation ability of children.

Li Shimin could feel the two oxen pulling the new plow, and they seemed relaxed, even leisurely.

"Jun Xian, let's take a look at Xinli's reduction of one cattle."

After observing for a long time, Li Shimin's voice sounded, with a hint of seriousness in his words.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Junxian didn't ask why, but directly ordered that because he came from the Li clan, he didn't know anything about farming, but he did what His Majesty said.

After reducing one ox, Xinli could still plow the land, and Li Shimin's eyes flickered all of a sudden.

"If there is one less farm ox, how much manpower and material resources can be reduced by Datang?"

You must know that because of the scarcity of cattle, every spring plowing in Datang was a big problem, and some people even let the fields go to waste because they could not get enough cattle.

And seeing that it was obvious that a cow still had enough strength, Li Shimin's eyes had not been extinguished and he couldn't help but continue to speak.

"Replace the new plow, and use another person to pull it."

This time Li Junxian didn't hesitate either, and replaced with a Baiqi guard.

Under Li Shimin's gaze, the guards slowly pulled the new plow. Although the movement was a little slow, it was only slower than the old plow's plowing speed.

Although it didn't take long to sweat profusely, the light in Li Shimin's eyes became more and more intense.

"God bless me, God bless Datang!"

"God bless me, God bless Datang!"

......

Li Shimin kept whispering softly, if Xinli was popularized all over the world, how much manpower and material resources could be saved.

How much food can be grown every year, the world will not have so many famines, if there is no famine in the world, then how peaceful it would be.

"Send someone quickly to invite Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling to come here."

After being absent-minded for a long time, Li Shimin spoke out, if he was worried about tomorrow's remonstrance before, then he doesn't need it now.

This is enough to be a merit that will last forever, and even enough to be famous through the ages, so that the world does not know how many people are grateful.

Now Li Shimin, who has just ascended the throne, urgently needs to prove himself and needs the approval of the world. This injustice is the inner pain of this emperor.

But now is an opportunity, but Li Shimin couldn't help but think of the instigator, the cheap father-in-law, with a complicated heart.

Chapter 32 The relationship between master and servant, the artifact

Just when Li Shimin discovered the mystery of the new plow, Shu An looked at the strong and slightly dark-skinned young man in front of him. He was a child and now he has grown up.

"Kuanghu, how many years have you followed me?"

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said softly, with a trace of desolation in his words, so many years had passed before he knew it.

"My lord, it has been 20 years. If the lord hadn't taken him in, Kuanghu would have died 20 years ago."

A trace of emotion flashed in the depths of the young man's eyes and he said, with a hint of emotion in his words, he said silently in his heart, is the Lord no match for these years?

"Don't say these things anymore. Over the years, you have been protecting me so that I can travel through thousands of mountains and rivers safely."

Shu An's words resounded faintly, he could be indifferent to other people, but he was confiding in his heart to these guards.

Because these guards are the people he trusts the most, whether it is the promotion of public opinion behind the scenes or the purchase of property, it is inseparable from these confidants.

Originally, there were three small captains among the [-] people, namely the Wild Lion, the Wild Tiger, and the Wild Leopard, with Shu as their surname, but now only the Wild Tiger is still by his side.

The other two were scattered to various places to help him manage some shops, and maybe help him find some items.

"Lord!"

The young man said something in a loud voice, but he said nothing after that, which was regarded as acquiescing to this matter, but the kindness from the past was still in his heart.

He will never forget the words that the Lord stood on the high platform that day after they studied hard for ten years and left their teachers.

"You will be my Anxuan's guards from today on."

"Afterwards, my life, Anxuan, will be entrusted to you. I hope everyone can live well."

"I, Anxuan, have no children and no descendants. I hope that every one of you will be there to die for me when I grow old."

.....

The original picture is still in my mind, even though ten years have passed.

The grace of saving lives, the grace of nurturing them for ten years, treating them like children, each is a great kindness, which is the reason why they sacrificed their lives to protect the Lord.

"I have traveled all over the world with me this year, and now I have finally settled down. I have asked Laifu to start building houses in the fief. You should take a rest and have a home of your own."

Shu An's words sounded again, but the young man was anxious, because they had no idea of ​​starting a family at all, at least not now.

"My lord, the mad tiger only wants to protect you."

The young man said anxiously, just like what the steward said, even the Lord has not yet married, so what is it for them to have a family.

"I don't need to say more about this matter. I have asked Laifu to find a matchmaker, and I will personally officiate the marriage for you."

"It seems that among the guards, some older ones come first. If they are from other places, let the guards in Chang'an go back first."

"After waiting for a two-year rotation, let those younger ones get married."

Shu An obviously thought it over carefully, and decided on this matter without giving Kuanghu a chance to refute. He was delayed by the system, and he didn't have much thought about what to say now.

Anyway, these guards are also his heirs and will pass on the Shu family for him.

Seeing that the master had decided, the young man couldn't help being a little silent, but then he was a little moved in his heart, and then nodded emphatically, and he went to make arrangements after he went down.

......

In the Huangzhuang on the other side, several important officials of the court had already arrived in a hurry, but there was a hint of doubt on their faces.

I don't know why His Majesty summoned them, and why they were in Huangzhuang, and I couldn't understand it all the way.

"Auxiliary machine, Keming, Xuanling, come and see what's different."

After seeing the three of them, Li Shimin couldn't help but said with a smile on his face, even the courtesy of the monarch and ministers was temporarily ignored by him.

Obviously he was very happy, which made the three of them even more confused, not knowing why His Majesty was so happy.

When they saw the plow in the barren field, and the three excited princes beside them, the expressions of the three were a little strange.

Because they heard some rumors recently, among the three, Changsun Wuji paid the most attention, after all, this was his own nephew and niece.

Even Changsun Wuji has some headaches, he can naturally think that someone will impeach him, as for who this person is, it is self-evident.

It's just that I didn't expect that even His Majesty seems to be involved now, and it seems that the matter is not big enough.

Although Changsun Wuji had a headache, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't have such troubles. Speaking of which, this matter had little to do with them.

Instead, they are serious about the plows in the barren fields. They still know a lot. After all, the Ministry of Households has to calculate the number of cattle for use.

Basic common sense is still there, for example, two oxen are needed to pull a plow, so it only takes a moment for them to realize that something is wrong.

"Hey, this plow!"

Fang Xuanling was the first to speak out, obviously discovering something strange.

Du Ruhui on the other side also had a hint of disbelief in his eyes, feeling that there was something wrong with his eyes.

After a long time, the two glanced at each other, and finally understood the reason why His Majesty asked them to come here. If it can be promoted, it will be of great benefit to the whole world.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, I am delighted to have won the artifact!"

The two couldn't help saying in unison, with a hint of excitement in their words.

"Why do I like it? The joy should be all the people of Datang."
