Great Wei scholar

"Your Majesty, guess what Xu Qingxiao's first reaction was?"

Li Guangxiao opened his mouth and asked the Empress.

"I should be happier. After all, an increase of [-]% is a great achievement, but with my arrogance, I may be very calm."

The empress said without hesitation, this is the reaction of a normal person, of course Xu Qingxiao is so talented, it's normal to be arrogant.

"Do not."

"Your Majesty, Xu Qingxiao's first reaction was dissatisfaction."

Li Guangxiao's voice became a little excited again.

"dissatisfied?"

This time the empress was a little surprised, and Zhao Waner who was beside her was also a little curious.

Forty percent is still dissatisfied?

"What do you mean, teacher?"

The empress seemed to have guessed something, her eyes suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty's guess is correct. Xu Qingxiao was completely dissatisfied with this amount. The old minister couldn't help asking a few questions at that time."

"Do you know what Xu Qingxiao said?"

"He said that his expectation was to double the grain production, but it only increased by [-]%. He was not happy and it did not meet his expectations."

When Li Guangxiao said this, his old face turned red.

"Doubling the food production?"

At this moment, the empress stood up, and she stared at her teacher. If the person in front of her was not her teacher, she would never believe it.

"how can that be?"

"Wait! The deserted field?"

The queen's first reaction was that it was impossible, but she quickly guessed a possibility. It is not impossible to double the grain production. The only way is to replant those abandoned fertile fields.

"No! No! No!"

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the old minister will definitely not lose his composure."

"What Xu Qingxiao means is that under normal circumstances, it should be doubled. If the abandoned fields are used, it will not be doubled, but tripled."

When Li Guangxiao said this, his voice trembled again!

"double!"

When hearing this amount, the empress was completely shocked.

Double it?

what does this mean?

The Wei treasury doubles every year, [-] million taels stabilizes the basic expenditure of the dynasty, and [-] million taels is used to develop the country. The impact will be extremely terrifying.

One of the most intuitive benefits is that once the people have enough to eat, they are willing to have more children, the population will increase, and a lot of labor will be born. This is the most intuitive benefit.

Over time, it only takes five years for Great Wei to usher in a minor prosperity.

Just rely on this thing?

The Empress couldn't believe it.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Report!"

"Li Guangxin, the governor of Nanyu Prefecture, hastened to send a secret letter over thousands of miles."

As the voice sounded, the Empress spoke directly.

"Present."

At that moment, Zhao Wan'er walked quickly towards the outside of the hall, took the secret letter, and handed it directly to the Empress.

Open the secret letter.

Without any hesitation, the empress directly began to read the contents of the secret letter.

It's been a long time.

The Empress froze in place.

As the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, she ascended the throne as a woman. She looks young, but she has experienced countless things. It can be said that she has seen any big storms.

But after reading the secret letter, she was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what did the Lord of Nanyu Mansion say?"

Li Guangxiao opened his mouth and couldn't help asking, this is the first time he saw the empress look like this.

"Teacher, you can see for yourself."

The empress didn't say anything, just handed the secret letter to Li Guangxiao, who took it and began to read it carefully.

After a while.

When Li Guangxiao read the secret letter from the Lord of Nanyu Mansion, he also fell silent.

The secret letter sent by the Lord of Nanyu Prefecture consists of two parts, one part is the memorial of the above statement, and the other part is the full picture of the waterwheel, without missing any details, showing the whole picture.

The reason for the silence is.

The Lord of Nanyu Prefecture clearly mentioned three things in it. First, because his son Li Xin could not operate the waterwheel, the waterwheel did not run immediately after it was built. Second, after the waterwheel was built, , but because of material problems, it is often damaged by some wild animals or other reasons. Third, Nanyu Mansion currently has only one waterwheel, which is not enough for the entire mansion.

For the above three reasons, this time it is only [-]% more. Nanyu Prefecture Lord believes that if the above three problems can be solved, the harvest is very likely to be doubled, and the abandoned wasteland can also be used.

For common people farming, the biggest troubles are nothing more than two.

land!source of water!

Similar to the seeds are still enough, although the labor force is not enough, but at least the labor force for farming is still there, the most troublesome thing is the water source.

If there is surplus labor in the family, one farms and the other fetches water, but there is not enough labor. It is too troublesome to fetch water after you have plowed, and you can’t afford to buy water. As a result, many people don’t farm. They would rather plant some fruit trees.

So for places like Nanyu Prefecture, water sources are more important.

For poor lands, water sources are important and fertile land is also important, and both are indispensable.

Xu Qingxiao's small waterwheel project can solve the suffering of the people of the Wei Dynasty in farming. This thing is really a magic weapon for the country.

"Your Majesty! Great Wei is blessed."

Li Guangxiao couldn't say anything anymore. Before that, he wanted to let the Lord of Nanyu Prefecture come to the capital with the blueprints, and then build an identical waterwheel to try it out.

But looking at the complete picture now, he has nothing to say at all, this blueprint is completely enough.

"teacher."

"How long can this thing be used? From what Li Guangxin said, it seems that there are many problems."

When the empress spoke, she was also extremely excited, but she was an emperor, so many expressions were impossible to express.

"According to Xu Qingxiao's words, if good materials are used, it is guaranteed that there will be no damage within 50 years, and repairs can be used for a hundred years."

"The words of the Nanyu Mansion Lord are not to belittle the waterwheel, but to praise the usefulness of this waterwheel. If it is made of good materials, it will not be so troublesome."

"And the things needed for this waterwheel are nothing more than wood and iron stones. There is a kind of wood in the Wei Dynasty, called vine wood, which can withstand huge forces, and the iron stones in the Wei Dynasty are also very famous."

"If these materials are used, it will be no problem to use them for hundreds of years."

"It will take only five years to double the annual output, and the Great Wei will usher in a new prosperous age. This product is useful in the present and will benefit future generations."

"Your Majesty! The old minister has always been indecisive in everything he does in his life, but today, the old minister is willing to ask His Majesty for the people of the world to allocate funds to the Ministry of Industry and build a water truck."

"This thing can be an artifact of the new dynasty."

When Li Guangxin said this, he knelt down and knelt down. He was indecisive in his life, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision on many things. He always thought about it over and over again.

But on this matter, he no longer hesitated, because he knew that this thing could bring great benefits beyond imagination.

At the same time, he also hoped that the Empress would not hesitate.

"I! I understand!"

Seeing her teacher like this, how can the empress not understand the function of this thing?

"Issuing the decree, tell Xu Qingxiao to enter the palace."

The empress calmed down, and she wanted to declare Xu Qingxiao to enter the palace, firstly to ask carefully, and secondly to reward him.

"Your Majesty, announce him later, the old minister still has something to say."

Li Guangxiao opened his mouth, but the empress nodded, and did not announce the decree for the time being.

"Your Majesty, Xu Qingxiao's talent can be called eternal. This waterwheel alone is enough to prove his peerless talent."

"The old minister suggested that His Majesty must re-examine Xu Qingxiao, and definitely not treat him as a general."

"This person is very likely to lead the Great Wei to a new glory. It's just that there was some estrangement between him and His Majesty when he angrily beheaded the county king before."

"That's why the old minister hopes that His Majesty will consider the people of the world, and give Xu Qingxiao an explanation on this matter, so as not to make Xu Qingxiao feel bad."

Li Guangxiao said, his meaning was very direct, he hoped that the empress would admit to Xu Qingxiao a little bit, otherwise he was really worried that Xu Qingxiao would have a bad heart.

Just as soon as these words were said, Zhao Wan'er's voice sounded.

"My lord, Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Great Wei Dynasty. If you express your opinion to Xu Qingxiao, wouldn't it be detrimental to the emperor's prestige?"

Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but speak like this. After all, the empress is the person she admires the most in her heart. She is the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty. Asking her to express her opinion is nothing more than asking the empress to apologize?

This!how is this possible?

"The old minister understands that since ancient times, there have been no emperors who are wrong, but only ministers who are wrong. Alas! That's all, that's all."

Li Guangxiao was also a little excited, so he opened his mouth like this.

Yes, where in this world is there a perfect emperor?The one who is wrong is always the courtier.

But the next moment, the voice of the empress sounded.

"I understand."

A simple sentence, very calm, but the meaning of this sentence made Li Guangxiao stunned.

He could hear what the Empress meant, and she was willing to apologize!

This!

Somewhat incredible.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but speak again, wanting to say something, but facing His Majesty's calm face, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Since ancient times, emperors have always been high and high, but this is since ancient times. I am the people of the world, let alone express my opinion, so why not admit my mistakes? This is because I have gone too far, and I did not consider Xu Aiqing's feelings."

"Today, I will express my opinion to him, please rest assured, teacher."

The empress opened her mouth without any twists and turns, and was generous.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Guangxiao knelt down and bowed deeply to the empress, bowing from his heart, because from this point he could see the extraordinaryness of the emperor in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister will take his leave first."

At this time, Li Guangxiao didn't say anything more, and directly got up to leave.

"Teacher, since you are in Xu Aiqing's school, you should teach him a lot on weekdays. He is good at everything, but he is a little radical. This is not good, and he may suffer a lot in the court in the future."

"Although I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, there are many things that I can't decide. He is an eternal talent, and I understand it in my heart, but with such a talent, I still need to restrain myself, so as not to become the target of public criticism."

"Yesterday, the memorials of feudal lords from all over the country piled up like hills, and several vassal kings even threatened to go to Beijing to punish women. This time I can suppress it, but next time, I don't know how to protect him. I still need the teacher to take care of him." Give pointers."

The Empress spoke.

She already knows what kind of talent Xu Qingxiao has, she understands, and it is precisely because of this understanding that she hopes that Xu Qingxiao can know how to advance and retreat. If one day, Xu Qingxiao offends everyone in the court, even if she really wants to protect him, it will be difficult. ah.

As an emperor himself, he needed to balance people's hearts. Even if he wanted to favor Xu Qingxiao, he had to have a degree. After all, it was because of one thing, Da Wei was not at peace.

If she can master the five major military talismans, the people in the country can live and work in peace and contentment. Xu Qingxiao will not only kill the county king, but even if she kills all the princes, she will still be able to survive.

But the current Great Wei is not only in a dilemma for hundreds of officials, but why is she not in a dilemma?
