Chapter 67: Test Plow

"Your Highness, this place has been prepared, may I ask Your Highness, can you start" A guard stood under the ridge and shouted at Li Shimin on the ridge.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the two ploughing oxen and the old farmer who had put on the plough trap, and did not speak, but just waved his hand.

"Your Highness has an order, come out," the guard turned around and shouted.

With this order, two ploughing oxen pulled two ploughs under the command of the old farmer, and ploughed the ground in two acres of fields.

At first, there were no obvious changes, but soon the old farmer who drove the curved plough found that the new plough was very fast and labor-saving, and it was easier to control than when he used the straight plough without pushing hard behind, and he only had to hold the direction well.

And as the ploughing accelerated, the old farmer soon discovered that the new plough had turned out a deeper ground than the straight plow, and many of the roots of the previous crop had been cut off and turned out.

Compared to the old peasants, they are happy to have such a new plow.

Li Shimin, who was standing on the ridge, was in a different mood.

Because he didn't know the situation in the field, he just saw that the speed of the Quyuan plough was very fast, but this made Li Shimin feel very good.

However, compared with Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui and others were a little confused.

They still don't know what Li Shimin's purpose is for calling them here, whether it is to see the new plough with a strange shape, and the plough cannot be completed.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly glanced at the field, and he was surprised to find that the new plow still ploughed most of the field, while the old plow had just completed half of the new plow.

With this discovery, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood what Li Shimin had asked them to do.

Sure enough, he glanced around at his colleagues, and saw that they were also looking at the new plough in the field in surprise.

"Your Highness, where did His Highness come from this new plough, how could it be so fast, I don't know if it is easy to manufacture" The eldest grandson Wuji took the first step, came to Li Shimin, and bowed down to Li Shimin and asked.

"This plough is the husband of the princess of Changguang and the lord of Yongyang, and the horse is sent to the king by Wang Xuan, at first the king did not believe that the plow has such a speed, and now it seems that the king and the horse really did not deceive the king, come to the people, recruit the old farmer, the king wants to ask him, how is this plow" Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji ask the origin of the Qu Yuan plow, Li Shimin smiled and told everyone the situation briefly, and then ordered the guards.

The guards, who had received the order, hurried to call the old farmer who was still plowing the land with the zigzag plow.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji and others, they have long been shocked by Li Shimin's words, there have never been two royal daughters who marry the same husband in the past dynasties, and even if there is, one person dies and the other marries on the grounds of filling the house, but obviously Princess Changguang and the county lord of Yongyang are not.

However, they soon thought of the holy decree given by Li Yuan yesterday, and combined with their current position, they quickly understood the meaning of it.

It's just that before they could think about it, they were shocked by the words of the old farmer who came in a hurry, and there was only one thought in their hearts, that is, the people of Datang were blessed this time.

"Good, good, good, God bless my Datang, God bless my Datang! Ha... Ha... Ha, Mao Gong, this king remembers that you worked in agriculture in your early years, and it is okay to come to this cultivated land, but I don't know if Mao Gong is willing to be a ploughing cow for this king, try what Wang Juma said and plough without ox" Li Shimin After listening to the old farmer's evaluation of Quyuan plow, the whole person shouted happily, and after shouting, he turned to look at Li Tao, that is, Li Shixian, who was given the surname Li by Li Yuan, and changed his name because he had the same word as Li Shimin.

"To be able to pull a plow for His Royal Highness, to pull a plow for the Tang Dynasty, that is the minister Li Tao's Xin, not to mention that as His Highness said, among the adults present, except for me Li Tao, I am afraid that no one has the experience of farming, and who will come if the minister does not come" Li Tao did not say a word, took off his official robe and boots, and jumped into the field.

Seeing Li Tao go down to the field, Li Shimin also took off his boots, pinned the hem of his robe to his waist, and also went down to the field.

After the old farmer covered it up himself, the two of them made Li Tao a cow, and Li Shimin drove the plow behind him, and the two really ploughed the field in the field, and they were very relaxed.

Seeing this scene, all the ministers who were called by Li Shimin fell to the ground one by one, although they had never worked in agriculture, they all knew what this meant.

"Mao Gong, you still have the strength, if you have, then our monarchs and ministers will plow this last piece of land" After seeing the benefits of Quyuan plow, Li Shimin asked Li Tao excitedly.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister has a lot of strength, as long as His Highness wants to do it, the minister should follow" Li Tao said to Li Shimin in front.

"Okay, then our monarchs and ministers will plow the rest of the land, and when the plough is finished, the king will invite Mao Gong to the Wang's house, and let the king's horse make us stewed and delicious" Li Shimin heard Li Tao's words and said to Li Tao with a smile.

After saying that, the two of them were busy working in the field, and when they had finished plowing the rest of the land, they used a straight plough over there, and those who ploughed the land had not yet finished plowing.

With those potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that Wang Xuan praised the sky, Li Shimin was already thinking about what kind of grand scene the Tang Dynasty would be in the future.

Therefore, when Li Shimin returned to the ridge and accepted the congratulations of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, he immediately ordered Yue Hai and others to make Quyuan plough with all their might, and asked Fang Xuanling and others to come up with a charter to promote Quyuan plough in the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, you are about to ascend the throne, this plow will appear, and it also indicates that the Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous under your leadership in the future, and please name this plough Your Highness" After Li Shimin gave the order, the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who said this, and smiled in his heart, secretly saying that the auxiliary machine understands me.

"Since the auxiliary machine said so, then this plow will be called Zhenguan plow in the future! And the name of the year after the king ascended the throne is also called Zhenguan, so let this plough create a prosperous Tang Dynasty with the king" Li Shimin changed the Quyuan plough to Zhenguan plough with the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and also gave his own year name.

"Your Highness Shengming, the ministers are willing to follow Your Highness, for Your Highness, I am the Tang Dynasty, and build a Zhenguan prosperous world" Hearing Li Shimin's bold words, the eldest grandson Wuji and others hurriedly knelt down and shouted at Li Shimin.

With their shouts, the surrounding guards also knelt down, shouting Zhenguan Shengshi.

But it was this loud shout that made Wang Xuan, who was far away in his mansion, hear it, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "This Li Lao Er is sick!" I went to a plow, and I shouted and screamed there, and I don't know if I'm hungry, you don't know, I'm hungry."
