Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

Page 30

By the river, many people had surrounded the Tianche, discussing the Tianche.

The drum cart is constantly turning, and the bamboo tube is continuously pouring water into the high pond, and the water flows down to irrigate the land.

Li Shimin and Baiguan were stunned by this scene, and were speechless for a long time.

"The grass people have seen His Majesty."

The onlookers saw Li Shimin wearing a dragon robe and saluted together.

Seeing this scene, the people behind them knelt down even more excitedly.

Farming is an industry that depends on the weather, drought, flood, pests, and diseases.

Water is of paramount importance to farming societies.

It was not uncommon for ministers to be sent to pray for rain, and even the emperor had to write down his sinful edict, admitting his mistakes, and praying for rain.

"Free gift!"

Li Shimin led all the officials to the river, and watched carefully from a temporary platform set up by the Ministry of Industry.

Hundreds of officials were discussing at this time.

"What a crane, scooping low, falling high, endless cycle."

"This thing is even better than that god's plow."

"Why?"

"If there is no cattle, people can replace them. If there is a lack of water and cannot irrigate, people will be exhausted and will not help."

"It's really a talent of gods and ghosts, this thing is really a sharp irrigation tool!!"

Countless words of praise came from the mouths of the officials.

"How many fields can this thing irrigate in a day?" Li Shimin said, turning his gaze to Li Tai.

Li Tai was asked, didn't this cart just come out?

You ask me, how do I know! ?

Li Tai could only answer truthfully: "Royal Father, I will paint this thing anytime, but I have never made it, and I don't know how much it can be irrigated."

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded, and turned his attention to Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Duan Lun hurriedly stood up: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the cranes are constantly running day and night, and the water flows in different speeds. I can't possibly irrigate two hundred acres!"

"It's really two hundred acres?!" Li Shimin was extremely surprised.

This efficiency is scary! !

You must know that when there is no bobbin cart, the overturned cart is used. A strong and powerful man will step on it desperately, and change it when he is tired.

Even in this way, less than [-] acres of water can be irrigated in one day.

If it is too far away from the river, you can only carry a load of water for irrigation, and the efficiency is extremely low.

And this drum car directly uses the power of the water flow to raise the water level, and the efficiency can be said to be quite high.

"Okay! That's great!!"

Li Shimin's eyes seemed to have seen a treasure, and he was appreciating it carefully. Suddenly, he felt something and blurted it out.

"The water wheel in Chang'an is not a fake person. The wise man creates things ingeniously. The water wheel turns a hundred times and pours it in. There is no time for the cycle to go up and down."

Without waiting for all the officials to applaud, Li Shimin said boldly and vigorously.

"I won the heavenly chariot plowed by the gods, which is better than that crouching dragon and phoenix chick. It can save countless Liming people and make them immortal.

Really God bless Datang, I am so relieved! ! "

Li Shimin was not stingy, and he was full of praise.

"Your Majesty is holy, God bless Tang!!"

At this moment, all the officials no longer hesitated, but shouted blessings from the bottom of their hearts in unison.

"Your Majesty is holy, God bless Tang!!"

Seeing this, thousands of people shouted in unison.

With tears in their eyes filled with excitement, they stared at the cart in a daze.

I feel that the sound of water pouring from the bamboo tube has become extra pleasant.

You must know that many people have experienced the three years of drought in Zhenguan.

At that time, the land was thousands of miles away, and countless people left their homes, became homeless, and became refugees.

If there is such a thing, it may be better, get more water sources, and grow more food to survive the drought.

Although this thing may seem simple, its spread is extremely wide.

Almost the entire Eurasian continent has spread, and even the Ryukyu has learned it.

"Free gift!!"

Li Shimin looked at the officials who were delighted and surrendered, and he was very high-spirited.

The night wind blew his robes flying, his long hair danced wildly, watching the golden wheel fall on the side of the sky, the sun was shining brightly.

Li Shimin said with emotion in his heart: "It's getting late, go back to the palace!"

At this time, the officials realized that, before they knew it, a day had passed, and they didn't even know when they forgot their lunch.

Li Shimin led all the officials towards the Taiji Palace, while the common people followed all the way.

Finally followed to the gate of the palace, Li Shimin had no choice but to stand up and speak.

"I appreciate the kindness of my people, it's getting dark, everyone please go back!!!"

"Grass people send your Majesty a respectful farewell, Your Majesty is blessed, and God bless the Tang Dynasty!!"

Facing Li Shimin's shouting, the common people bowed and shouted in unison.

It wasn't until they watched the group return to the palace that the palace gate was finally closed, and the people reluctantly left.

"Your Majesty, you are a good emperor."

"With the crane and the plow, there will be a better harvest next year."

"Yes, yes, I can irrigate two hundred acres a day, King Wei is really amazing!"

"I heard that King Wei will be the emperor in the future. I don't know if it is true."

......

above the hall.

Li Shimin scanned all the officials, and wanted to keep them working overtime overnight.

But after thinking about it, forget it... It's not as good as when I was young.

But I still have to explain what will happen next time.

"Shenli and Tianche are widely spread throughout the world. This matter needs to be discussed carefully by all the lovers."

Although two things came out, the trouble was just beginning.

For example, how to promote this thing to the world, what is the cost, labor, and complexity.

A series of issues require careful deliberation and consideration.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations~"

"If nothing happens, then retreat!" Li Shimin announced!

After waiting for a while, seeing that none of the officials stood up, Li Shimin announced, "Retire."

All the officials saluted together and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, all blessings to Your Majesty."

The day's court meeting is finally over.

Li Tai heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't even eat lunch, and he was about to go back to have dinner.

However, it seems that I still have an egg, which is still intact.

The greater the ability, the higher the status, the greater the wealth, the greater the responsibility.

At this moment, Li Tai somewhat understood the heavy responsibility of being a king.

Keep your mind tensed all the time, and every move affects the hearts of thousands of people.

The Tang Dynasty had a population of more than 8000 million! !

While the scenery is boundless, it is also a heavy burden like a mountain.

Li Tai returned to the mansion with some emotion.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, was thinking about whether the two things of quyuanli and bobbin cart could be popularized nationwide.

The popularization of Quyuanli is actually very simple.

Why do you say that?

As long as the blueprints are sent to the various prefectures, the various prefectures are sending them to the various cities.

Order all prefectures and cities to engrave the drawings of Quyuantu on stones and place them at the gates of the cities.

Pedestrians passed by, plus word of mouth, basically within three months, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty knew about it.

And it is very simple to modify, you can directly use the original straight shaft plow to modify it.

The modification is simple and the technical content is low. Even if you are illiterate, you can understand it by looking at the pictures.

The speed of popularization across the country is very fast, but the drum car is different.

The bobbin car has higher technical content and is more difficult to make, requiring craftsmen and wood, and is restricted by region.

The wood and craftsmen used in the palace can not be counted as cost.

But this thing takes time, and at the same time, if it is transported, it will need horses and so on...

The most important thing is that Datang has millions of households and tens of millions of people. How many skycars will it take to build?

At the same time, this thing is still a consumable product. It is made of wood. It is soaked in water for a long time, and the damage rate is very high.

This is simply a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

The horseshoe alone has consumed countless money and food, and now there is another bobbin cart.

No, if it goes on like this, the treasury simply cannot afford it.

But if the treasury is not allowed to bear it, how can this thing be popularized? ?

This is a problem!

Forget it... or go to correct the memorial.

Did you read the memorial all day today, and slack off the government again.

Chapter 23 Sending You a Wu Zetian

"What time is it now!?" As soon as Li Tai opened his eyes, he saw Yan Wan dressed.

"It's time." Yan Wan replied hastily.

"It's time to get up!" Li Tai said with a yawn.

"Husband, do you remember yesterday, the reward from the Holy One?"
