The farmland in late autumn is nothing special to see.

The withered yellow weeds are swaying with the autumn wind.

Occasionally, a few sparrows flew up from the field, accompanied by a burst of "chirping" sounds.

"Lord Wang, is this the surprise you said?"

Dai Xuan looked at the few plows in front of him and was speechless.

"Yan Shangshu, do you see the difference between these two plows?"

Li Kuan ignored Dai Guan's complaints, but asked Yan Lide, who was more professional.

The Yan family is a family of generals, and it can be said that it is the top engineer family in Datang, and they have some knowledge of all kinds of equipment, and it can even be exaggerated to say that in Datang, there are more professional talents than the Yan brothers, and it is estimated that there are none.

Even if it is Dai Quan of the Chu Palace, in terms of the theory of equipment, it will definitely not be able to compare with them.

"The plough on the left should be the common straight plough in the countryside, and the one next to it, I don't recognize where it has appeared."

The structure of the plough is not complicated and can be seen at a glance.

"Yan Shangshu, it's right that you didn't recognize it. This is a newly made plough made by the craftsmen in the palace of this king, what do you think? ”

"The structure seems to be a little simpler, which should help with the production cost, but it has limited significance."

Yan Lide looked at the two pairs of plows carefully again and came to his own conclusion.

"This plough is curved, which is different from the traditional upright, don't you think this is the biggest difference between them?"

Li Kuan found that the Quyuan plough he made did not cause any surprise to Yan Lide, and he couldn't help but doubt his theoretical level.

Forget it, this king still says that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Let the two farmers start plowing together and see what the difference is between the two plows. ”

While Li Kuan and Yan Lide were talking, there were already two farmers in the field holding the plow, ready to start plowing.

Dai Xuan didn't speak again the whole time, thinking in his heart that if there was no surprise for a while, how would he express his dissatisfaction.

"Then the official will wait and see!"

Yan Lide's face was expressionless, obviously not believing that Li Kuan could come up with any tricks.

"Let's get started." Li Kuan signaled that Laifu could notify the farmer to start plowing the land.

The sun had already risen in mid-air, but fortunately, the late autumn sun was not too scorching, and Li Kuan didn't plan to let Dai Zhou and Yan Lide go to the side to rest.

Just let them see for themselves the difference between the different ploughs.

The provincial meeting was too surprised to conclude that they had to wonder if they had done anything.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there is not much time left for the construction of this new palace, are you sure that it can be completed on time? Don't be so nice as you said before, when the emperor can't spend the winter in it, His Majesty may be furious. ”

It was okay left and right, and Yan Lide chatted with Li Kuan about the new palace.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the construction of the new palace has a lot to do with him, not to mention that Yan Liben, who will be a master craftsman, is still his younger brother, and he is also worried that his brother will be thrown into the ditch by Li Broadband.

"Rest assured, it will definitely be completed in October, so that the Emperor Taishang can live a comfortable winter."

The buildings of this year do not have the saying that they will be dried for half a year after decoration and formaldehyde will be removed.

As long as it's built, you can go in the next day.

Of course, it is necessary to let the Taishi Bureau calculate the days and choose a good day and an auspicious day.

"I heard that this month, the city governor has received the city tax from Hangzhou and Mingzhou?"

Compared with Yan Lide's relationship with the progress of the construction of the new palace, Dai Zhou is obviously more concerned about the funds for the construction of the new palace.

In the past dynasties, this kind of palace construction was basically carried out by the household department to raise funds, like this model, which was unheard of and unseen.

Dai Xuan didn't believe that a single newly established city governor would be able to raise enough money.

Unless His Royal Highness the King of Chu set up a clever name, snatched and oppressed those merchants, otherwise it would be enough to choke.

Therefore, it is no wonder that he paid attention to the first municipal tax received by the Governor's Office from Hangzhou and Mingzhou.

"Dai Shangshu's news is very well-informed, that's right, the construction of the city ship division in Hangzhou and Mingzhou is relatively smooth, the city ship tax has begun to be collected, and the first 50,000 yuan of tax silver has been deposited in the treasury of the city port governor's mansion."

Dai Xuan was able to learn about the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the City, but Li Kuan was not surprised, after all, some of the officials in it were transferred from the household department.

"Fifty thousand? The construction of this new palace must first invest millions of guan, what is the role of 50,000 guan? ”

Dai Xuan was genuinely worried about Li Kuan.

Because if Li Kuan can't stand it, the unlucky one may be himself.

"How much will it cost to build the new palace depends on how you calculate it. Materials such as cement and glass are all produced in the palace's own workshops, and it is not necessarily how much it costs to talk about how much. Although a lot of other gravel and sand are also mined, it will not cost millions of pounds. In short, Dai Shangshu, don't worry, this king won't look for you to cry poor today! ”

Li Kuan probably recalled Dai Guan's worries, and he also felt funny.

The household department collects more than 10 million yuan of property a year, which should be used to distribute the salaries of officials and nobles, and to support the army's conquest......

At the end of the year, there is not much money left.

To exaggerate, the warehouses of the East China Sea fishery may be richer than those of the households.

"Lord Wang, look at what you said!"

His thoughts were noticed by Li Kuan, and Dai Xuan was a little embarrassed.

However, it is also a little embarrassing verbally.

You're not welcome.

In case he is polite, Li Kuan really asks for money......

"Huh?"

Li Kuan, Dai Guan, and Yan Lide chatted, and soon half an hour passed, and the two farmers in the field also completed a part of the ploughing of the field.

At this time, Yan Lide finally noticed that the scene in front of him didn't seem quite right.

Why is there such a big difference in the arable land area between the two farmers?

Could it be that he is dazzled?

Or is there a big difference in the level of these two farmers?

That's not right, looking at their actions in plowing the land, they are also very skilled.

Li Kuan, the prince, personally stared at it, and no one dared to be lazy.

But why is there such a big difference?

"Lord Wang, with this new type of plough, it seems that the speed of plowing the land is faster?"

Yan Lide was entangled for a while, but still asked the question in his heart.

"The difference between the two farmers is nearly 50 percent of the area of the fields that they have ploughed, which is ...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Dai Xuan also noticed that the situation in front of him seemed to be a little wrong.

I didn't pay close attention to it just now, but now that I confirm it, the gap is obvious.

"That's right, the new plough is more labor-saving and ploughs the land faster. And, two scholars, have you noticed that the land that uses the new type of plough is obviously deeper than the traditional one, and I don't need to say any more about the benefits of this. ”

Looking at Dai Xuan and Yan Lide, who were digesting the surprise in front of them, Li Kuan had a smile on his face.
