Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin was also surprised to hear Li Shen say that this was not his property, so he asked doubtfully:

"Do the villagers still have the capital to open a grocery store?"

"Aye, the owner of this grocery store was originally the manager of my workshop. His salary was two guan per month, and with the bonus at the end of the year, it was almost [-] guan per year.

Later he asked me what kind of small business he could do with the money, and I asked him to open a grocery store in the village. Now his mother-in-law is looking after the shop, and he still works at my place. "

"Oh? You can still give meat to others?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with suspicion.

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin with an embarrassed face, "Yeah, I'm a good person!" In fact, Li Shen felt that this was too little meat.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ji is a good master. Prince Ji encourages the villagers to make a living to support their families during their spare time. If they don't have money, Prince Ji will lend him capital. Several of us in Zhuangzi have gone out to do business." Zhang Da On the sidelines, he quickly confirmed that what Li Shen said was true.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Ji, it is not good to encourage people to engage in business. Those who become businessmen will have a low status. You are pushing the people into a pit of fire." Wang Weidi seized the opportunity.

"This noble man can't say that. His Highness Prince Ji is kind-hearted. The common people are afraid of poverty. As long as they can live a good life and eat meat every day, we common people don't care whether they are cheap or not. Even if they are not businessmen, nobles don't care. Still looking down on us farmers." Zhang Da responded unceremoniously to those who dared to speak ill of Li Shen.

Li Shimin nodded and left the grocery store. Li Shen led everyone to the village entrance on the other side. As soon as they reached the village entrance, Li Shimin heard the faint sound of reading.

Li Shimin stopped and listened carefully and found that it was coming from a large house not far ahead.

"Where is that?" Li Shimin pointed to the house

"Go back to Aye, that's a school."

Li Shimin did not speak, but went directly to the school. When he walked into the gate, this place was different from other schools. Li Shimin saw a large field in the center, similar to a school field.

There are two rows of teaching buildings, and people can be vaguely seen. Li Shimin quietly approached a classroom. There was a teacher in front of him holding a book and teaching the children below.

Li Shimin visited several teaching houses and it was still the same, except that the children's ages were different.

"How many children are studying here?" Li Shimin turned around and asked Li Shen.

Li Shen looked confused and looked back at Zhang Da. He was the village chief and he should know.

"Your Majesty, there are about 600 children. Most of them are from the two villages, and some are from the workshop family." Zhang Da replied. There are 500 households in the small and large Huangzhuang restaurants, and each family has more than [-] children. What's more, there are more than one. But big and small.

"So many?" Li Xiaogong was extremely surprised.

"There will be more in a few days." Zhang Da replied

Fang Xuanling on the side heard this and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

"The prince has added another eight hundred food towns, which are now included in the statistics. In that village over there, I heard that they are all the family members of the royal guards.

These heavenly king shopkeepers have already started measuring the land in the back to prepare for building a teaching building. The children here study for free and are provided with food. Anyone with children is willing to send them over.

However, only the prince's restaurant has this advantage, and people from other villages are jealous of it. People in other villages want to marry girls over, and in the past few years, dozens of households in Dahuangzhuang have had children. "Zhang Da proudly explained

"Your Majesty, King Ji is so kind!" Fang Xuanling also praised

More than 600 children study for free and have their meals taken care of. This year’s expenses are not small. Coupled with the salary of teaching Yu, you will not find any literati willing to teach in your place. It does not mean that someone who can read can become a teacher. Only those who have read poetry and books can be qualified.

"Well! I knew all this before, but I didn't expect there would be so many people. I was very relieved to see Huangzhuang." Li Shimin smiled happily.

This tenth son really makes him look good sometimes! And he is kind-hearted, but he is a little greedy for money and regards money as his life. This also gave Li Shimin a headache.

"This is what you should do," Li Shen pretended to be shy and modest.

"Prince Ji is so rich." The originally harmonious scene was ruined by a sudden exclamation.

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, wanting to see who had said such an untimely word, but when everyone looked over, they fell silent again.

As expected, this shocking remark came from Cheng Yaojin, who was still pointing and commenting around with Yuchi Jingde without knowing it.

Li Shimin walked out of the school with a dark face. What was supposed to be a touching scene of a loving father and a filial son was ruined by this old guy's words.

Then Li Shen took Li Shimin out of Huangzhuang and came to his own land. At this time, there happened to be many people farming in the fields.

"Aye, look, they are using a new type of plow now. I named it Zhenguan plow. It saves time, effort and is fast. Otherwise, I will have to hire people from other villages to farm the land." Li Shen pointed to the field. said the farmer

"It looks faster. Let's go over and have a look."

Li Shimin still wanted to take a closer look. When they walked to the edge of the field, they found that the plow used by the farmers was indeed different from the plows they had seen.

Li Shen asked someone to bring the plow he had used before for comparison.

"Your Majesty, I want to give it a try." The person who spoke was Ma Zhou, the censor of the book. Ma Zhou was a legendary figure. Grandpa Mao said that Zhuge Liang was not as good as Ma Zhou. This shows what a talented person Ma Zhou is.

Ma Zhou came from a poor family since he was a child, and farming land was certainly not an issue.

"Okay, then my dear, let's try it and see what the difference is."

Li Shen arranged for people to hitch the two plows to oxen, and then Ma Zhou used the previous plow to plow several hundred meters. When I came back, I plowed several hundred meters with the Zhenguan plow.

After returning, he said to Li Shimin with an excited expression, "Your Majesty, this Zhenguan plow is indeed labor-saving and fast. If it is promoted nationwide, this matter will be used during spring plowing."

Li Shimin felt itchy when he saw Ma Zhou like this. Also go out and try it yourself. Li Shen had no choice but to follow. His father was already working in the fields, and it was not good for his son to watch from the side.

Li Shimin was so happy that he cultivated an acre of land by himself. When I came back, my face was not red and I was out of breath. When I saw Li Shen, I was still a little out of breath even when I walked with him.

"Very good, it really saves a lot of effort. This is definitely a weapon for the people to open up wasteland. But the name of this plow is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Li Shimin liked it in his heart, but he still had to be reserved in appearance.

"Your Majesty, this plow was created by His Royal Highness King Ji. Of course, the name will be decided by King Ji. Moreover, this plow was created in Zhenguan, so it should be called Zhenguan Plow." Changsun Wuji came out and said appropriately.

"Hey, okay then, let's call it Zhenguan Plow" Li Shimin readily accepted. Which emperor doesn't want to leave his name throughout the ages.

Then he continued, "Dear ladies, follow me back to the palace to discuss how to promote it quickly. You also come back to the palace with me." The last words were for Li Shen.

"Aye, I'm not feeling well, so I won't go, right?" Li Shencai didn't want to participate. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back and play when you have time?

"Asshole, you have many excuses every time I let you participate in government affairs. You can't share the worries of the court." Li Shimin hates the fact that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Aye, take the samples and I'll give you the drawings. Just let the Ministry of Industry do it. I don't know anything about promotion. Oops, my stomach hurts so much, I can't make it in time." After saying this, he turned to the maids and servants in the distance. The guard waved, turned and ran away.
