Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Nonsense, didn't you see what I wrote with your own eyes?"

Li Yi'an traveled through such a long time, and it was the first time to write such a long speech. It was the first time that he wrote so many words with a brush, and his hands were sore. He continued: "Quickly copy a copy, and then read it carefully. Send it up for you, and your becoming an official will be almost done."

Ma Zhou scratched his head and said, "Sir, is this really okay?"

Li Yi'an said: "What's wrong? If you don't tell me, I won't tell. Who knows? Do you still want to be an official?"

To be an official in the imperial court, to be made a marquis and to be a prime minister, but Ma Zhou's lifelong wish was that his talents were not met, and his talents could not be put to practical use. After listening to Li Yi'an's words, he hesitated for a long time, decided to go all out, picked up a pen and paper, and copied.

-

the next day.

The Imperial City, behind the Taiji Palace, in the West Inner Garden.

It is not difficult to build a Quyuanli, the drawings are drawn in detail, and it can be completed in one night.

Li Shimin was in the West Neiyuan, looking at the curved shaft plow brought by Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it was really light and compact. Install a coulter disc that can rotate freely.

Except for Li Shimin, Pei Ju, Du Ruhui and others all gathered in the West Inner Garden, looking at Qu Yuanli.

"Sir, this thing doesn't seem to be very good. The plowshare is too small. Can it really plow the land?"

"Although it is small, one person and one ox can operate it, but it is too small. I am afraid that the plowshare will not eat deep enough soil, and the plowed ground will not be deep enough to meet the requirements for sowing. No matter how light it is, it is useless. !"

"Sir, I'm afraid I missed it this time? I don't think this curved plow is very useful. If it is used to plow the ground, it can only scrape off the surface soil."

They watched Qu Yuanli, compared with their own cognition, they talked a lot, and most of them expressed disbelief.

Pei Ju was so old, so he leaned over to look at it for a while, and sighed in disappointment.

"That gentleman, who can divination and fortune-telling, understands military and political strategy, and can make weapons, is already very powerful!"

Pei Ju shook his head with some disappointment: "After all, there is no one who is really omnipotent and can do everything. Even if Mister misses, it is normal. Even so, Mister is also a rare talent in our Great Tang."

After hearing Pei Ju's pertinent words, the others nodded in agreement.

It is still Pei Gong who analyzed it better.

The husband's performance is amazing enough, if he is a little more amazing, he will have nothing to do with himself in the future.

"Your Majesty, we don't see anything, why don't we try it first?" Du Ruhui suggested.

"Success, let's try it in the West Inner Garden, but in order to prove who is more effective, Zhang Liang, you can find another Zhiyuanli."

Hearing what they said, Li Shimin felt uncertain, and the only way to tell the good from the bad was to try it out.

Zhang Liang immediately went down to prepare, and soon brought a straight shaft plow and three oxen, and asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to fasten the plow to the oxen.

After a while, the two plows began to plow the field under the pull of the ox.

However, the difference between the two plows can be distinguished immediately.

The straight shaft plow is cumbersome to operate and requires two oxen to pull it together. The speed is really slow, but there is indeed a lot of soil dug out, which is a deep layer.

However, when the plow has reached the end, the plow has to be untied, the ox turned around, and reloaded, which is a complete waste of time.

The Quyuan plow is completely different. The plow disc can be turned flexibly, and it only needs to be turned slightly to complete the U-turn.

This speed, as well as the ease of operation, surprised them.

"That curved plow plows the ground quickly, but you see, it doesn't dig up much soil, and the depth of the soil is not deep enough, so it is useless."

The person who spoke was called Gao Shilian, and he was Changsun Wuji's uncle, that is, Changsun Sheng's brother-in-law. Of course, he had heard of that gentleman, and he also knew about the assassin.

Therefore, Gao Shilian was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Yi'an's behavior of letting the assassin go privately, and he just had a chance to ridicule him.

What's more, Quyuanli's plowshare is very small, and it seems that there is not much soil turned out, which is obvious to all.

Zhang Liang got a hint from Li Shimin's eyes and went to measure it himself.

"Your Majesty, the upturned soil is not shallow, it is three inches deep!"

Although Zhang Liang supervised the construction, he hadn't studied the benefits of the Quyuanli, so he said excitedly and loudly: "The plowshare of this Quyuanli is also very special. When the plowshare is lifted, it will penetrate shallow into the soil, and if it is lowered, it will go deep. , the depth can be adjusted independently, and the deepest can reach more than three inches, which fully meets the requirements of sowing!"

"how is this possible!"

Gao Shilian was immediately dumbfounded!

Chapter 47 Farming Artifact

After Li Shimin and others listened, they couldn't react for a while.

Is the seemingly simple Quyuanli really that powerful?

"I don't believe it, let me see!"

Gao Shilian came to the side of the overturned soil, took the measuring stick and measured it for a while, his face sank.

Afterwards, he also studied the plowshare. As Zhang Liang said, the depth can be adjusted at will.

This... is so convenient and easy to use!

Gao Shilian took a deep breath.

He had to admit, that gentleman is really a monster!

This Quyuanli can definitely change their farming methods. It is an artifact that enriches the people and changes people's livelihood.

"How's it going?"

Li Shimin asked anxiously.

"What Zhang Shangshu said is not bad at all!"

Gao Shilian stood up slowly and said.

It's really that powerful!

The person who questioned Qu Yuanli just now felt his cheeks burn, and the slap came too fast.

A plow that can be pulled by one person and one ox, in the future, the cattle used by farmers for farming will be more reasonably allocated and utilized, and the speed of reclamation will be more than twice as fast as that of ordinary straight-shaft plows, which will greatly increase the speed of farming and liberate labor force.

If Quyuanli and Zhancheng rice work together, will farmers still be short of food in the future?There is a high probability that they will not, even if every household has food in storage, even if there is a drought, the situation will not be too serious.

Everything that Mr. gives can change the whole Datang.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining such a farming artifact."
