Chapter 213: I Actually Missed It

Autumn is the harvest season.

A lot of farmland around the palace was bought by Li Kuan, some of which were occupied by the Baicao Garden, some by breeding chickens, ducks and geese, some by mulberry trees, and even a hill full of tea trees.

Li Kuan rode a jujube red horse, and accompanied by Laifu, he turned around the entire territory of the Chu Palace.

"Lord, this palace has accepted a large number of palace maids and eunuchs who have been laid off from the palace, and has been constantly accepting orphans from all over Chang'an City, and there have always been all kinds of criticisms in the market."

Laifu has a lot of opinions about the fact that there are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the palace.

"Uncle Laifu, don't look at those palace maids and eunuchs who have been dismissed, but if you really want to use them, don't you think it's much easier to use than the newly recruited people outside?"

Li Kuan didn't care, these days, the literacy rate is too low, but many old eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, most of them are literate, and the cultural level of a few people is not low.

For example, Lin Sheng, if he didn't know how to read and write, let him be in charge of the egg hatching greenhouse, and measure the temperature every day, where would he do it?

Laifu heard Li Kuan say this, and he didn't do anything better.

Actually, Li Kuan's attitude is very clear to him, but he can't help but say more about such a good opportunity today.

Corn and other grains have been harvested, and there are basically no crops left in the fields.

Li Kuan walked around the field path, but unexpectedly found a farmer plowing the land there.

"Uncle Laifu, spring plowing and autumn harvest, why are there still people plowing the land now?"

In the past and present life, Li Kuan has not planted the land by himself, although there is a systematic "Primary Agricultural Skills", and he has an understanding of the planting of crops, but the time of ploughing the land is still in the impression of ploughing in the spring, and why he is ploughing the land now, I really can't figure it out.

"Lord Wang, this family should be relatively wealthy, and most people are ploughed once in spring; If you can plough the land once after the autumn harvest and plant it the following year, the harvest will be even better. ”

Li Kuan looked at this piece of cultivated land, but felt inexplicably a little incongruous.

How come there is only a shallow layer of the ground that has been turned over?

Wait a minute!

What kind of plough is that?

Why are most of them wooden?

So how is the plough shovel straight and straight?

In an instant, Li Kuan realized that he had missed an important matter.

Quyuan plow!

This plough that only began to appear in the late Tang Dynasty and was used until later generations, why didn't I think of getting it out?

Li Kuan also saw a lot of the Internet in his previous life, before there were no potatoes and sweet potatoes with huge yields, Quyuan plough was one of the best weapons to improve grain production.

With a curved plow, it is more labor-saving and ploughs the land faster.

With a curved plow, the ground is ploughed deeper, allowing the crops to better absorb nutrients from the soil.

To put it bluntly, as long as the quyuan plow is popularized, the cultivated land area will increase by 10 percent, and the overall annual grain output will increase by 20 percent, there should be no problem at all.

In this era, in fact, land is not so scarce, but there is a shortage of manpower.

"Wang ...... The prince ......"

Li Kuan suddenly came to the ridges of the farmer's fields, and was so frightened that the other party couldn't even speak.

"This king asks you, is this plough the same as that used by other peasant households?"

"Lord Wang, the system of the plough rake is all regulated, and the ones used by each household are almost the same, unless you make it yourself."

Without waiting for the farmer to speak, Laifu replied with a little confusion on the side.

"Why is this plough shovel straight, it is very laborious to plough the land, not to mention, it is difficult to turn up the soil."

Laifu: "Lord, aren't all plows like this?" ”

Hearing Laifu say this, Li Kuan was basically sure that the plow at this time really had a lot of room for improvement, and he quickly called Dai Quan over and asked him to remake a few plows according to his own wishes to see which one had the best effect on ploughing.

I only know a rough idea, and I have to rely on professionals to make it specifically.

……

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin had just come down from the Xuanwu Gate city wall, and he could already see the outline of the new palace from a distance, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

"What has Kuan'er been up to lately?"

With Li Shimin's understanding of Li Kuan, he naturally knew that Li Kuan could not stay at the construction site of the new palace every day.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to the newly established instrument workshop in the Chu King's Mansion yesterday afternoon, summoned Dai Quan and other craftsmen, and seemed to be thinking about what kind of utensils."

Li Zhong is now openly and honestly sending a few hundred horsemen to stay in the Chu Palace, and one of them is also serving as a palace guard, which is also acquiesced by Li Kuan.

Therefore, Li Zhong is relatively clear about Li Kuan's movements now.

Of course, if Li Kuan really wants to hide something, there are still many ways.

"Equipment workshop? Hum! It's not a good job all day, forget it, don't care about him. ”

……

Yan Lide received an invitation early this morning, which made him feel very strange.

The construction of the new palace is going well, why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly invite me to the annex of the King of Chu's mansion.

He also asked the steward with a few proficient in equipment making.

Forget it, the construction of the new palace this time can be regarded as an insight for the Minister of Industry, let's go and see what kind of medicine His Royal Highness the King of Chu sells in the gourd.

Compared with Yan Lide's calm attitude, Daixuan, the head of the household, was a little entangled after receiving the invitation.

The cost of the construction of this new palace is said to be the responsibility of the Governor's Mansion of the City, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not change his mind, right?

Now that the army is marching to Tuyuhun, all the things that the household department has saved this year have been used.

Dai Guan's first reaction was that Li Kuan invited himself over, it should be for the money and food of the construction of the new palace, and he subconsciously didn't want to go.

It's just that Li Kuan, a prince, invited himself unprecedentedly, and he didn't explicitly ask for money, so if he didn't go, it didn't seem a bit big, right?

With a tangled heart, Dai Zhou left Chang'an City.

"Dai Shangshu, Yan Shangshu, this king just said why the magpie was croaking in the yard this morning, it turned out to welcome the two Shangshu."

Li Kuan smiled and invited Dai Xuan and Yan Liben into the palace courtyard.

However, the group did not go to the lobby, but walked in the direction of the farmland on the side.

"Lord Wang, I don't know what you see today?"

Dai Xuan watched Li Kuan take the lead and asked, a little confused.

He is one of the six Shangshu, and he is also a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't say anything to do, so he led himself around the palace courtyard.

What does that mean?

"Yes, it's almost the end of the year, and there are a lot of things in the Ministry of Industry, so if the prince has something to say, he will say it directly."

Yan Liben didn't want to accompany Li Kuan to wander around meaninglessly.

Although the annex of the Chu Wangfu is beautiful, the mansions of the two of them are not bad, and they are not in the mood to visit.

The most important thing is that they don't know what Li Kuan wants to do.

"Two Shangshu, please rest assured, this king has a surprise for you today."

Surprise?

Hehe!

Don't be scared for a while!

Dai Guan, who knew something about Li Kuan, couldn't help but complain in his heart.
