Chapter Sixty-Four: Menon

A teenager, a huge three-legged giant, the shock caused by this disproportionate contrast was very strong, although everyone present vaguely knew that it was the pulley set that played a role, but only Merton understood the principle.

When the roaring three-legged giant tripod falls heavily, the gluttonous pattern engraved on the three-legged giant tripod looks particularly hideous, and it adds a bit of mysterious atmosphere.

This kind of shock couldn't calm down in everyone's hearts for a long time, and then Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin's performances of talking across the city wall seemed a little dull, but it also ushered in bursts of applause.

Merton stepped forward and continued to preside: "In the past, Mojia Village was poor and backward, closed to itself, and it can even be said that it was self-cherishing, but what is the result? Mojia Village became the poorest village in the entire Chang'an region. ”

Merton's self-blackening caused everyone to laugh good-naturedly, they had all heard the history of Mojia Village, and they all knew how depressed Mojia Village was before.

"Hehe, this kid really dares to say it!" Cheng Yanjin laughed and said.

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder, it can be said that the secret technique of the Mo family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is self-cherished, and the heart of the Mo family is really big.

"And today's Mojia Village puts aside the past, reform and innovation, just like our slogan, keep pace with the times, pioneer and innovate! We welcome anyone to come to Mojia Village, welcome to cooperate with any of the sons of the hundreds, and throw away the old concept that is not suitable for the new era of the Tang Dynasty, this is a new era, a magnificent Tang Dynasty is coming, and those who cannot keep up with the pace of this era will be eliminated. Merton said excitedly.

"New era, the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin couldn't help but feel excited, he had worked hard all these years and wanted to devote himself to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, even he didn't dare to think of this word, it was shouted by a teenager.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel relieved, he didn't expect Mo Jiazi to be so optimistic about his rule, and he couldn't help but feel like a confidant.

Morton continued: "However, the entire Tang Dynasty is poorer than Mojia Village, and even many people still don't have enough to eat, so it seems that it will take a long time for the arrival of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while, of course he knew the situation under his rule, there were indeed many poor places, and the treasury was not full, the various ethnic groups in the outer grasslands were ready to move, and Tubo Tuhun Valley had always coveted the Tang Dynasty.

"The Mo family is young and ignorant, and he asks His Majesty for forgiveness for his nonsense!" Qin Qiong hurriedly pleaded guilty, he was afraid that Merton's shocking words would anger His Majesty.

"Father! Merton was just straightforward and didn't mean anything else. Li Chengqian also hurriedly helped Morton speak.

"What are you panicking about, can't I tolerate a single person who tells the truth?" Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said. But a trace of displeasure rose in his heart, as the saying goes, hitting people does not slap their faces, scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, but Morton is exposing his shortcomings in front of Li Shimin.

However, Merton didn't know that he had been remembered by the most powerful person in the world, and still said on the high platform: "Datang is agriculture-oriented, as the saying goes, no agriculture is unstable, and the Mo family cooperated with farmers to successfully develop the latest ploughing tool - Quyuan plow." ”

At this time, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin jointly carried a new type of plough, which was smaller than the traditional plow, and the front handle was even more curved.

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin protected Qu Yuan Plough like a treasure on the left and right, they did not grab the show of the overlord who shocked the audience, and after seeing Qu Yuan Plow, they did not give up this opportunity.

Jokes, although they are gentlemen, they also know that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and they know that this new type of plough is powerful, this is an opportunity to leave a name in history, how can they miss it.

"This new type of curved plough can be operated by one person and one ox, and the curved ploughshare can turn the soil into the ground, realize deep ploughing, increase grain production, save manpower and material resources, and reclaim more wasteland."

As soon as Merton's voice fell, the whole audience boiled, and most of them had their own land outside the city, and of course they could hear the advanced nature of this new type of plow.

After the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the Tang Dynasty decreased sharply, resulting in a lot of barren fields, if this kind of Quyuan plough really has such an effect, the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty can come at least twenty years in advance.

"Can you really plow the land with one man and one ox?" Someone in the audience questioned.

"Of course, Mojia Village has bought a hundred acres of land outside the South City Gate, and invited Master Dasi Nong Su to personally verify the efficacy of Quyuan plow. Now let's invite Master Su to the stage. ”

Dasi Nong Su Lingnon slowly stepped onto the stage, came to the front of the stage and stroked the Quyuan plough in front of the stage, with a look of joy, when he was invited by Merton to verify the Quyuan plough yesterday, he also didn't believe it, but yesterday's facts made him happy, even if he was pulled by Merton as a witness today, there was no trace of complaint, with this new style of pear, how many more people can be fed, that is the blessing of Datang!

"Ahh It's really Su-sama! ”

There was an exclamation from the audience.

Although Su Lingnong is a big farmer, he often wanders around the fields around Chang'an, and many people know him.

"The old man can confirm that this new type of pear-ploughing can indeed be cultivated by one person and one ox, and it is simple and lightweight, cheap and easy to turn around, and it is deeper than the traditional pear-ploughing, and the speed is about fifty percent faster." Su Lingnon's words completely confirmed the authenticity of Qu Yuanli.

"This little catfish is quite capable, and he actually invited Su Lingnon, an old-fashioned man, to come over and be a witness for him." Li Shimin said with some taste. He was extremely dissatisfied with Merton's behavior of using public weapons for private purposes.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, but the young master paid the drawings of the Quyuan plough and personally invited Master Su." Master Yu said respectfully behind him.

"Hahaha! That's right, and only with this possibility, Su Lingnon, an old fashionista, will give up his face. Cheng Yanjin said with a grin.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, as long as Su Lingnong has the drawings of Quyuan plow, with his temperament, the entire Datang will soon have this new type of pear, which is the blessing of the people of Datang.

However, Su Lingnong's words were not finished, and he continued: "Not only that, but this official also saw a new type of cocoon car that can sow 600 acres a day in the south of the city, Mo Jiazi, you won't hide your secrets!" ”

"What sow 600 acres a day?"

The audience did not expect one surprise after another, not only new ploughing tools, but also new sowing tools.

"Six hundred acres a day! That's not how many fields you can sow seeds, and the harvest is meager, but it can't stand the abundance!. ”

Li Shimin's breath was even more stagnant, staring at the two cocoons carried up by Qin Huaiyu, and his heart shook wildly.

After Qin Huaiyu came up, it immediately caused cheers from the audience, after all, Qin Huaiyu's performance just now was too shocking!

The cocoon is not heavy, Qin Huaiyu even raised a cocoon with one hand and turned around, which caused many people to scream, this kind of frenzied atmosphere made Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin jealous, until they were kicked by Su Lingnong, Qin Huaiyu stopped snoring, and quickly put down the two cocoon cars, and retreated to the side to stand with Cheng Chumo.

Some of the cocoons renovated in Mojia Village borrowed from the modern seeding machines of later generations, and the small cocoons only had three legs, which were simple, lightweight, and easy to operate. The large cocoon cart not only increases the number of cocoon legs to six, but also adds wheels for planting at a uniform speed at the back, which is convenient for sowing at a uniform speed.

"The small cocoon car is Menong No. 1, which is simple to operate, can be operated by a family, and even does not need ox power, four adults can quickly sow seeds, sowing at least 200 acres a day. And this big cocoon cart is Menon No. 2, which must be pushed by cattle and horses, and it is not a problem to sow 600 acres a day, and it has its own runner behind it, which can sow seeds on the ground at a uniform speed for more reasonable farming.

"Quyuan plough 300 wen, Monong No. 1 cocoon car 100 wen, Monong No. 2 300 wen, welcome everyone to order." Merton even started advertising at this time.

"This loser!"

Su Lingnon looked at Merton incredulously, he didn't expect that Merton contributed such a heavy weapon to sell it for money, if it was dedicated to the emperor, it would not be possible to increase the official and become a knight, and now such a militaristic heavy weapon is contaminated with copper smell, and it is no longer possible to get the emperor's reward.

"He used it to sell for money!"

Li Shimin looked at Mo Dun in disbelief as he tried his best to sell the Quyuan plough and the cocoon car, he was still trying to reward the Mo family just now, but now it's okay, everything is saved.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others also looked at this stupid boy with a hatred of iron and steel, ordinary people are born and fought to the death for a little title, but he abandoned the glory and wealth at his fingertips.

Li Chengqian didn't know this bad friend, and he was not worth it for Moton in his heart.

"Doesn't he know the preciousness of the Quyuan plow?" Li Shimin asked the fish master standing behind him in disbelief.

Master Yu smiled bitterly: "Even if the young master doesn't know, the grass people also know the preciousness of such treasures, and we also persuaded the young master at that time, but the young master said that a penny forced the hero to overthrow, and the Quyuan plough and the cocoon car are just a penny that can solve the dilemma of Mojia Village, and the title is not exchanged for money, and it can't support 5,000 people in Mojia Village." ”

Mojia Village is not good at cultivating land and is good at workmanship, and the production of these agricultural tools just gives full play to the advantages of Mojia Village and brings a steady stream of income to Mojia Village.

For a while, everyone in the box was silent, and there was a hint of inexplicable color in the eyes that looked at Merton, there are many capable people in this world, and there are many people with high morals, but there are very few people who can refuse high-ranking officials.

And the Mo family in front of him is one of them, maybe Merton's behavior is stupid, but he is so stupid that he is cute and admirable.

"This little catfish!" An inexplicable pride rose in Li Shimin's heart.
