Great Wei scholar

50 years?

100 years?

In five years, the capital can be returned with interest, and the people will have enough to eat, and the hearts of the people will be united, and real prosperity will usher in.

Swallowed.

Li Guangxiao fell silent.

"Okay, let's eat, don't think so much."

Xu Qingxiao put the white paper aside and greeted everyone to eat.

Chen Xinghe and the others didn't say much, and started eating directly.

Li Guangxiao also ate, but he was absent-minded.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Li Guangxiao cleaned up the dishes. He was feeling very uncomfortable now, and he wanted to go to the palace to report this matter, but he was afraid that if he left directly, it would arouse suspicion.

So I sat in Shou-jen Academy, waiting in agony, waiting for the time to buy groceries.

For an hour, a full hour, Li Guangxiao also thought about it for an hour. Looking at the picture of the waterwheel, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

Others don't understand, but he does. Finally, when it was time to buy vegetables, Li Guangxiao left Shouren Academy.

ran towards the palace.

Two quarters later.

In the Great Wei Palace, outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Guangxiao didn't arrive, but his voice rang out.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"May!"

"May!"

"Xu Qingxiao, a great talent of all ages!"

"The Great Wei Dynasty is coming."

"Your Majesty, you have found a treasure this time!!!!!!"

"Big Wei's treasure!!!!"

Li Guangxiao's excited and trembling voice sounded, he was really excited, he couldn't even speak tremblingly.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Empress was a little surprised when she heard the voice again.

Because she has never met her master.

in this way.

gaffe!

Not even if the Northern Expedition failed!

Chapter 121: What?Xu Qingxiao actually likes me?

Inside the Great Wei Palace.

Li Guangxiao hurried over, he was so excited that he was about to cry.

He was really excited.

The waterwheel project that Xu Qingxiao mentioned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was an artifact of the country.

Although it is just a small invention, it can change the current production capacity of Dawei.

To be honest, Li Guangxiao's view of Xu Qingxiao has changed.

Before, I thought that Xu Qingxiao was very smart and a great talent.

But it's different now, he thinks that Xu Qingxiao is more than just a great talent.

It's okay to be talented forever, it's okay to have a talent from the Ministry of Punishment, and it's okay to have a talent from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but now he still knows how to farm.

And the most amazing thing is that Xu Qingxiao took the time to toss and toss this kind of Anguo artifact.

Who the hell is this motherfucker?

Li Guangxiao really didn't know how to describe Xu Qingxiao. He felt that he had discovered a treasure, and he could get different surprises every day.

But what Li Guangxiao knew better was that he had to come to the palace quickly and explain this matter clearly to the Empress.

One is to let the empress promote the waterwheel project, and the other is to let the empress pay attention to Xu Qingxiao, not the current emphasis, but an incomparable importance, let the empress know Xu Qingxiao's talent, and let the empress protect Xu Qingxiao well.

Can't hurt Xu Qingxiao at all, anyone who dares to touch Xu Qingxiao will be the enemy of Da Wei, the enemy to death.

What prince is not prince, what six books and six books, to put it bluntly, even if the vassal king rebelled, Xu Qingxiao must be saved.

Thinking of this, Li Guangxiao's voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty! God bless Wei! God bless Wei!"

He walked into the hall, extremely groggy.

"Teacher, what happened? Why are you like this?"

The Empress came out of the Dragon Luan, and she looked at her teacher with curiosity in her eyes.

My own teacher was a veteran of the three dynasties. He had experienced three emperors. He was extremely intelligent. The Great Wei had experienced many disasters, all of which were pacified by Li Guangxiao. Moreover, this teacher never cared about fame and fortune. He didn't want to be an official, but liked to travel around the world.

So the empress was a little curious, she didn't understand what happened to make her teacher lose her composure like this.

Stepping into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Guangxiao's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, God bless Wei."

Li Guangxiao still couldn't help shouting, and then he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Your Majesty, can I borrow my pen and paper?"

Li Guangxiao said so.

"Give ink."

The empress made a sound, and immediately someone brought a pen and paper and put it in front of Li Guangxiao.

And Li Guangxiao swallowed, gripped the brush tightly, and drew on the white paper.

After about a short while, Li Guangxiao finished drawing, pushed the thing out and said, "Your Majesty, please have a look."

The empress waved her hand, and the white paper floated up slightly, and it appeared in her eyes after a while.

It is a drawing of a waterwheel.

Looking carefully at the picture of the waterwheel, the face of the Empress gradually changed.

"Irrigate the fields."

The Empress realized what it was in an instant. She was a little surprised. Although the drawing was rough, it seemed that there was no major problem. It was just that all the details were not drawn well.

But she can also feel the value of this thing.

"Teacher, is there a full picture of this thing?"

The Empress asked directly.

"Yes, but I don't have it here. This thing was conceived by Xu Qingxiao."

"And it's done."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that Xu Qingxiao angrily scolded the Great Confucianism, and you issued an imperial decree to fine the people of Nanyu Mansion with [-]% of the tax?"

Li Guangxiao asked.

"remember."

The queen nodded.

"Xu Qingxiao felt a little guilty about the common people, so he invented this thing, and then asked a friend to build a waterwheel in Nanyu Prefecture, and conducted a simple test."

"As a result of this season's harvest, Nanyu Prefecture's grain production has increased by [-]%."

Li Guangxiao said excitedly.

"Four percent?"

The Empress showed a look of surprise.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Lord of Nanyu Prefecture should have written a memorial for this matter. According to this time, the memorials for the harvest of grain fields in various places should have arrived at the Ministry of Households, and people can check them."

Li Guangxiao said so.

"Wan'er, go to the household department for a quick check."

The Empress spoke immediately.

A [-]% increase in income is definitely not a trivial matter. If it is just a small place that suddenly increases [-]% of grain production, it is nothing, but if the entire Nanyu Prefecture increases [-]% of grain production, it is not a trivial matter.

Especially according to what Li Guangxiao said, Nanyu Mansion has increased the grain production by [-]% this time, relying on a tool, as an emperor, how could she not know the power of this.

Li Guangxiao didn't speak any more, he quietly waited for the news, but his breathing was still a little short, it could be seen that he was really excited.

As the elder of the three dynasties, Li Guangxiao really knew exactly what the current Great Wei lacked.

The seven Northern Expeditions emptied the family property of Wei.

The population of Great Wei has decreased by a full [-]%, and [-]% is deducted for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, plus women. Therefore, Great Wei is now short of labor force.

It is precisely because of the grievances of the people that the vassal kings of various places dared to act mischievously, thus exerting pressure on the Wei Dynasty step by step.

The rebellion of vassal kings has been inevitable since ancient times. No matter whether it is suppression or division, it cannot be eliminated by any strategy.

And only the popular support can truly put an end to the feudal lord's rebellion.

Still the same sentence, if the people have enough to eat and wear warm, they will not support someone to rebel, but if the people do not have enough to eat and wear warm, it will be different.

Xu Qingxiao's waterwheel project would not dare to say that all the people in Da Wei could be fed now, but if Xu Qingxiao hadn't lied, it would only take five years, or even five years, and Da Wei could at least relieve the great pressure.

More than [-]% of the people can have enough to eat, and the remaining [-]% may not have enough to eat, but they will not be unable to eat.

Not only that, but the biggest source of income for the treasury is the taxation of grain production. If this is the case, then the treasury revenue of Great Wei will double every year.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhao Wan'er is back.

After entering the hall, Zhao Wan'er walked very fast, holding in her hand the memorial of grain production handed in by the Nanyu Mansion.

"His Majesty!"

"It has been verified that the harvest in the first half of the year in Nanyu Prefecture is indeed 70% more than that in the second half of last year. Last year's late rice was [-] shi of grain, and this year's early rice is [-] million dan."

Zhao Wan'er presented the memorial.

After taking it, the empress slowly unfolded it, just glanced at it, and then closed the fold.

"Xu Qingxiao! You have such talent!"

At this moment, the empress could not calm down at all. She could not trust Li Guangxiao or Xu Qingxiao, but it was impossible not to trust the memorial. If she dared to deceive herself, it would be a serious crime.

"call!"

The empress let out a breath slowly, looked at Li Guangxiao and said.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

She asked directly what Li Guangxiao meant.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has not finished."

Li Guangxiao did not answer the empress's question, but told the empress that he hadn't finished speaking.

"Teacher, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

The empress was not in a hurry, let Li Guangxiao finish.

"Your Majesty, you should know that the old minister is now at Xu Qingxiao's home."

"Today, someone came from Nanyu Mansion and came to him with a letter. He heard Xu Qingxiao say that Nanyu Mansion's grain harvest was [-]% too much."
