Chapter 181: Qu Yuan Plow
Jin Shan'er went to Li Jun for a closed door, and Li Jun went to Moyuan early in the morning today, accompanied by Yuan Zhan, the current cabinet chief.
Li Jun and Yuan Zhan came over after receiving a notice from Yusuo, and Yusuo sent someone to Li Jun to say that the Quyuan plough had been successfully developed, and the actual product would be brought into the palace in the near future.
But Li Jun couldn't wait, so he took Yuan Zhan to Moyuan early in the morning, Yu Su didn't know that Li Jun would come today, and when Li Jun arrived, Yu Su was holding a purple clay pot under the big willow tree to cool off.
Yu Su was startled when he saw Li Jun's figure from a distance, and quickly jumped up from the chair, Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Sir, you have a very good life this day?" It's much stronger than me. ”
Yu Su smiled dryly: "Your Majesty has praised it, and the old minister can have today, or it is thanks to His Majesty's blessing." ”
Yuan Zhan also came over to greet Yu Chau at this time, the two of them are a giant of a farmer's family, and the other is a giant of the Mo family, and they have known each other for a long time, so when Yu Sue smiled and saluted Yuan Zhan, Yuan Zhan hurriedly avoided scolding and said: "You old thing, deliberately disgusting old man, aren't you?" ”
"Haha, where are the words? You're the first assistant now. Yu Chau replied with a smile.
Seeing these two old living treasures playing in this gag, the eagerness in Li Jun's heart couldn't help but relax a lot, and the three of them chatted a few more words, only to see two children walking over with a piece of equipment.
Yu Su pointed to the tool in front of him and said proudly: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the new farm tool created by the Mo family, according to Your Majesty's wishes, it is named Quyuan Plow." ”
The curved plough in front of me is very new, mainly straight, giving people a tough and stable feeling, and it can be seen that the Mo family is really attentive.
"The quyuan plow is made up of eleven parts. That is, ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, press the plough, the forehead, the plough arrow, the plough wheel, the plough tip, the plough evaluation, the plough construction and the plough plate, the curved plough and the previous plough, there are several major improvements. First of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also is convenient to turn around and turn, the operation is flexible, and the manpower and livestock are saved. ”
Li Jun patted the plough and said with a smile: "Good thing, let's go, let's try it." ”
At this time, Yuan Zhan suddenly stopped: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, this plow should not be tried, the minister heard that there are still many students in Gantang who do not recognize His Majesty's patent law, why don't you call them all here and let them try, doesn't Your Majesty keep saying that facts speak louder than words?" ”
Li Jun laughed and said, "Good way, He Shen, now immediately send someone to Gantang to call all the students." ”
"No, the old slave obeys." He Shen replied with a smile.
Li Jun's holy decree was very effective, and in less than an hour, the Tai students galloped on horseback, because Li Jun implemented the militarized management of later generations in Gantang, so the Tai students of Gantang were all skilled in bow and horse.
When everyone saw Li Jun, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Students, wait for Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
"Everyone, please come up, I said that invention and creation can change the Tang Dynasty, so I introduced the patent law, just hoping that there will be more inventions and creations among the people, but I also know that some students are not particularly recognized, so I prepared an experiment to convince everyone." Li Jun didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point.
Today, because Yang Xiong is handling official business in the school department, it is Dou Lin who leads the team, and Dou Lin immediately knelt down when he heard Li Jun's words and said: "The students have this kind of thought, and it is not good for the teaching of the ministers to be teachers, please forgive your majesty." ”
The meaning of Dou Lin's words Li Jun understands, in fact, Dou Lin is ready to take the responsibility on the teacher, for fear that Li Jun will be angry and send the students, for Dou Lin's approach, Li Jun appreciates it very much in his heart, is it one of the responsibilities of a teacher to protect students.
So Li Jun smiled and helped Dou Lin up and said: "Dou Qing, you misunderstood, our Datang has no precedent for punishing crimes with words, don't worry, I won't set this precedent, today is purely an academic exchange, and there is no other meaning." ”
"I understand." Dou Lin said with a sigh of relief.
At this time, Li Jun continued to ask: "Students, if anyone is against the patent law now, please stand up." ”
The crowd was quiet all of a sudden, and many people were hesitating, after all, Li Jun was the emperor, and if he stood up and was recorded by the emperor in the small book, it would have been troublesome.
At this moment, the first student finally stood up, and Dou Lin saw that this person was secretly complaining in his heart, this person was his disciple Ming Qi.
Ming Qi trembled and saluted Li Jun and said, "Student Ming Qi sees Your Majesty." ”
Li Jun nodded and said, "Ming Qi, right?" I've heard this name, last time you went to Hangai Mountain to persuade Yelu Zongkang, the prince of Northern Liao, this is a great achievement, I haven't rewarded you yet, today is just right, if you can convince me, I will reward it together. ”
Ming Qi smiled bitterly: "The student probably can't convince His Majesty, because the student himself knows that his truth is untenable, the student is unwilling, we have been studying the sage books for more than ten years, how can we be on an equal footing with a group of craftsmen?" ”
"What Senior Brother Ming said is extremely true, and the students and others also think so." A group of students chimed in.
Li Jun squinted his eyes and said, "Who else thinks differently from Ming Qi?" Stand up too. ”
Zhao Yin was the first to stand up and said: "Student Zhao Yin and Senior Brother Ming have different ideas, Senior Brother Ming feels that it is very hard for us to read the sage books for decades, but don't forget, those craftsmen are also very hard when they learn the arts, so the students think that there is no difference between everyone, but the means of making a living are different." ”
Hearing this, Yu Su nodded frequently and said, "Old Yuan, how about looking at this disciple of the old man?" ”
Yuan Zhan touched his beard and said, "It's a talent, not bad." ”
Yu Sue laughed proudly when he heard Yuan Zhan's words.
Ming Qi frowned and just wanted to refute, Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't fight, why don't you have a competition, how about it?" ”
"Than what? Your Majesty, please make it clear. Ming Qi immediately asked.
Li Jun replied with a smile: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, agriculture is the foundation of the empire, so today let's compare farming, the method is also very simple, Ming Qi you use old-fashioned plows, Zhao Yin uses Quyuan plows, see who can complete it faster per acre?" ”
"Okay, the student agrees, and the student believes that man will conquer the sky." Ming Qi gritted his teeth and said.
"The students agreed." Zhao Yin also replied immediately.
Li Jun smiled, waved his hand, and announced the start of the game.
The final result was not what Li Jun and others expected, the same cow was one acre of land, and it took one hour for Ming Qi to plough, while Zhao Yin only used one stick of incense, which means that Zhao Yin's efficiency was three times that of Ming Qi.
Ming Qi saw this result and said with a dark face: "Your Majesty, the student lost." ”
Li Jun said to everyone amiably: "Students, you can calculate an account, in the same time, the use of Quyuan plough can plough three times more land, my Datang now has a total of 30 million acres of cultivated land, now with Quyuan plough, if I fully promote, then our Datang arable land will be more than 60 million mu, think about it, how much grain can be grown in 60 million mu of land?" How many people can be fed with all this food? ”
The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became, especially the students who opposed it before, they listened to it in a cold sweat one by one, and when Li Jun finished speaking, everyone immediately bowed and said: "Students are stupid, and today I understand His Majesty's intentions." ”
