Chapter 565: Shang Zao
"Now that the drawings have been finalized, how long do you think it will take to develop them?"
Zhao Yin crossed Erlang's legs and asked.
"If it goes well, it will be about the same in two months!"
Although the drawings are now available, Lin Wu does not dare to guarantee that there will be any problems in the manufacturing process.
"Well, it's not bad!"
This time was earlier than Zhao Yin expected.
After all, the shrinkage of the steam engine is not an easy task, and it can be completed in two months, which is already considered very fast.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sow seeds in time for spring!"
Lin Wu was slightly regretful.
"Even if you develop it now, it will not be able to produce it in large quantities in a short period of time, as long as it can benefit the people and liberate the labor force in the future!"
Zhao Yin waved his hand indifferently.
He has now invented the quyuan plow, which has been of great help to the cultivated land, and spring planting is much faster than before!
If the tractor is developed and equipped with a special plough, there will be no worries about plowing the land.
"Master Horse, Master Horse ......!"
At this moment, Wang De ran in.
"Is there something wrong with the princess?"
Zhao Yin is most afraid of seeing this guy now, as long as he sees him, there will be nothing good.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty sent the old slave to pass the word and let the horse master go to the morning court tomorrow!"
Wang De said while panting.
"That's it?"
Zhao Yin looked at him dissatisfied, "Then why are you running so fast?" I thought something was wrong! ”
"Old slave...... Isn't that habitual? ”
Wang De scratched his head, looking aggrieved.
In the past, when looking for horses, you had to run all over Chang'an, wine shops, bookstores, and arsenals.
So, in order to save time, he ran back and forth, but he didn't expect to find it just after going to two places today!
"Your Majesty asked me to go to the Morning Dynasty, do you know what happened?"
If there is nothing major, Zhao Yin plans to sleep lazily at home and ignore it.
"This old slave doesn't know!"
Wang De shook his head.
Although he accompanies the emperor every day, who can guess the emperor's thoughts?
"Alright then, I'll just go over tomorrow!"
In desperation, Zhao Yin had no choice but to agree.
"Thank you, Master Pony!"
Hearing this, Wang De immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that this kid would be lazy and said that he would not go to the early dynasty.
When the time comes, Your Majesty will be angry, and then blame yourself!
"Alright, you all go back!"
The matter of the tractor was also explained, Zhao Yin waved his hand and motioned for both of them to go out.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
Early the next morning, Wu Meiniang served the sleepy-eyed Zhao Yin to dress and wash, and turned a blind eye to the mess in the room and Princess Changle on the bed.
Because of this situation, she has become accustomed to it.
"Late marriage and late childbearing were proposed by this concubine, so I can't accept you as a concubine for the time being, but don't worry, this concubine has always taken you to heart, and I will go to play with your sisters whenever I have time!"
Zhao Yin closed a pair of eyes that had not yet woken up, and opened his hands to facilitate Wu Meiniang to help him change his clothes.
He originally planned to take these two little girls into the room after accepting the eldest Sun Yujia and Hou Qingli, but he didn't expect that this series of things would delay the two of them.
"Master Pony leads by example, this is as it should be!"
When he said that he would accept their sisters as concubines, Wu Meiniang's hands were obviously stagnant, but they were also fleeting and immediately returned to normal.
"You're not in a hurry?"
Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Meiniang smiled shyly and helped him tie his belt.
"Where is this horse talking nonsense, you two obediently wait at home, and when this horse comes back, I will go to you!"
After Zhao Yin got dressed neatly, he went out.
When he came to the Taiji Palace, he found that he was the latest, I really don't know if these old people are old, insomnia and lack of sleep, and they all get up so early.
"It's early!"
"The horse master is here!"
Although the people have arrived, they have not yet begun the early dynasty.
When they saw Zhao Yin walking in with his hands behind his back, they all nodded and said hello!
And Zhao Yin also nodded slightly, standing in the front row of the generals.
"Why is this kid here today?"
"I guess Your Majesty has something important to discuss!"
Those who can stand on the Taiji Hall have been in the court for decades, and they are all like human spirits, and when they see Zhao Yin coming to the early court, they will know it in their hearts.
Not long after, Li Er walked in and sat on the dragon chair with a dignified face.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"
Wang De, who was beside him, shook off the dust and shouted in his throat.
"The ministers and households are still in the house, and there is something to play!"
Dai Xuan held the board in his hand and was the first to stand up.
"Quasi-play!"
"Your Majesty, through the joint efforts of all the governments, the results of the census have come out!"
"Oh? So fast? ”
"Since His Majesty decreed that this census be used as an evaluation of officials' performance, officials from all over the country have been very concerned about this matter, and the results are naturally very fast!"
"Tell me quickly, how many people does Datang have now?"
Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with interest.
Not only him, but everyone present pricked up their ears.
"More than 38 million people!"
Dai Xuan gave his hand with a happy face.
"Good! That's great! Hahahaha......"
Hearing this number, Li Er laughed heartily.
"I really didn't expect that the population of my Datang is about to reach 40 million now, and this is all the result of His Majesty's hard work!"
The eldest grandson Wuji patted the ass at the right time.
"Can these new populations migrate to the northern Xinjiang countries?"
Fang Xuanling made a suggestion.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty encourages more births is to increase the number of people, so as to divide the territory that has been defeated.
"Well, I think it's possible to immigrate three million!"
Li Er waved his hand and made a decision.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, most of these new populations are young children, even if they immigrate, it's useless!"
However, Dai Xuan poured a basin of cold water on Li Er, and Li Er's heart was cold. ’
"Alas......! Do you have to wait until they are adults before they can emigrate? ”
Li Er suddenly made a bitter face.
If you wait until those children grow up, it will take at least ten years, but whether there will be any variables in these ten years, no one can say!
"Your Majesty don't be upset, you can immigrate as much as you want!"
At this moment, Zhao Yin spoke.
"But the adult population of Datang is still insufficient, and there is no way to immigrate at all!"
Li Er still understands the priority, and it is impossible to lose the existing one for the sake of the land that has been defeated.
"As long as the labor force is liberated, there will be enough adults to immigrate in Datang!"
Nowadays, farming requires a lot of labor per household, but with the advent of tractors, these problems will be solved.
The surplus labor force can be immigrated to the northern Xinjiang countries.
