Chapter 46 Improvements

Chang'an, Daxing Palace.

Until he met Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji was still full of confusion, and he really couldn't figure out what the situation was now-if the emperor had something important to discuss with these important ministers, why didn't he come to this Xuanwu Gate instead of in the palace?

If there are other things, why not give advance notice?

And not only him and Fang Xuanling, just with a casual sweep, the eldest grandson Wuji saw Wei Zheng, who had just replaced Wang Jue, as well as Yu Wenshi, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and other important ministers in the court!

Roughly counting, there are at least a dozen people!

Yishui's top figure in the Tang Dynasty, an important minister in the court, and what surprised the eldest grandson Wuji even more was that when he asked Shangshu Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling about the reason why the emperor summoned everyone today, the other party was also at a loss, and he didn't seem to know anything about today's affairs.

Then he was weird.

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Wei Zheng, who was not far away, wondering if he was looking for an old stubborn man to inquire, an attendant suddenly ran over in a hurry and shouted in his sharp voice: "Everyone, the sage has a decree, please come to the forbidden garden to meet you...... Please come with me! ”

The thoughts that had just arisen were immediately suppressed by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Quietly followed his colleagues out of the Xuanwu Gate, and then came to a large open space, and the eldest grandson Wuji soon saw the excited emperor Li Shimin. What surprised him even more was that beside Li Shimin, there were five people who looked like farmers, as well as five oxen and five ploughs......

"Huh?"

At this time, Fang Xuanling, who was beside the eldest grandson Wuji, suddenly sighed!

It was clear that this was something that surprised him.

However, of course, the eldest grandson Wuji would not ask now, but took everyone to salute the emperor first: "Elder Sun Wuji, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite!"

Li Shimin hurriedly put his hands on his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, come and see, I got a good thing yesterday!" ”

"Good stuff?"

With a move in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly looked at the five plows. Since it is talking about things, it must not be the rough men who look like the five farmers, and naturally it cannot be the five bullocks, so what can barely be called in front of them is probably five ploughs.

And then......

"Huh?"

After taking a closer look at the five plows, the eldest grandson Wuji, just like Fang Xuanling just now, suddenly let out a surprised voice - this thing seems to be different from the plow in his impression! Not to mention that the wheel is curved, it seems to be much smaller than a common plow, and it seems to be only half of it? And this ......

If it's so short, can it be placed on the shoulder of a cow?

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had deep doubts in his heart, looked at the five plows carefully and did not immediately ask. Because he knew that even if he didn't ask, someone would speak, or seeing Li Shimin's excited look at this time, he knew that this emperor who loved to show off should not be able to help it.

Sure enough, soon Wei Zheng frowned and spoke; "Your Majesty, you say something good, but this strange-looking plow?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin said excitedly: "I just sent it from Luzhou to Chang'an yesterday, and I asked you to come here today just to let you see the power of this new Quyuan plow!" Haha, ladies and gentlemen, this thing can definitely be called a divine object for my Datang! ”

"Fetish?"

After listening to the emperor's words, everyone was stunned.

Even if the plough does look different and smaller, but as for being called a fetish?

Although these words came out of the emperor's mouth, for most people, they still didn't think so. There was even someone who secretly frowned - he had seen this kind of crooked plough before, but it was much longer and larger than the one in front of him, what was so new about this thing?

Only Shangshu's left servant shot Fang Xuanling's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the word Luzhou, and his expression changed slightly, and an emotion called worry couldn't help but leak out of his two eyes......

……

At the same time, the distant Luzhou Bureau.

"King, this is my latest improved Quyuan plow!"

Carefully putting the things he had just made in front of Li Yuanjia, Chen Mu said excitedly: "According to the requirements of those old men, I pondered for several days, and finally added a small thing to the Quyuan plow, which can move up and down, adjust the position of the plow arrow, and then change the depth of the plow shovel...... In this way, whether it is deep ploughing or shallow ploughing, it can be easily operated! “

"Hmm...... Not bad! “

After listening to Chen Mu's explanation, Li Yuanjiaton's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction.

After this period of "practice", Li Yuanjia barely figured out the structure of the Quyuan plough and knew the names of its various parts. The so-called plough arrow is actually the long wooden stick in the middle, which is also the backbone of the whole curved plow; The plough shovel is the part that enters the soil at the bottom of the front, and it is also the only part of the whole curved plough made of iron, which is responsible for the core of the plough.

Being able to adjust the plough arrows and plough blades undoubtedly makes the curved plough even more practical.

However, after looking at it carefully for a while, Li Yuanjia suddenly asked: "This idea is very good, has the thing been tried by those farmers?" What do they say? ”

"Farmer trial? Not really! ”

Stunned for a moment, Chen Mu said disapprovingly: "But the small one has already tried it himself in the field in the back mountain, and it is very convenient to adjust the depth of the plough shovel, it should be no problem!" ”

"Huh? Do you think it's okay yourself? ”

After listening to Chen Mu's words, Li Yuanjia's face suddenly sank.

"This ......"

Seeing that the king's face was not very good-looking, Chen Mu's heart suddenly sudden, and his heart beat several times violently - he didn't understand what he said wrong, but it was obvious that the king, who was quite happy just now, was in a bad mood at this moment.

After staring at Chen Mu for a few moments, Li Yuanjia slowly shook his head.

He knew that his requirements for this little carpenter couldn't be too high, so after taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can send this thing to Zhuangzi first, let those old tricks use it for two days, and if they are satisfied, they will bring it to me!" ”

“…… Yes, King! ”

After hurriedly agreeing, Chen Mu finally understood why Li Yuanjia was suddenly unhappy.

"Remember, you made this for the farmers, not for me!"

Before Chen Mu could think about it, Li Yuanjia had already said in a deep voice: "If there is any improvement in the future, let them try it first!" Show me if they're satisfied, if they don't find it convenient to use...... I don't want to look at it here, understand? ”

"Understood, King!"

Chen Mu's black face flushed, and he hurriedly bent down and said.

After getting Chen Mu's response, Li Yuanjia looked at Han Shan, who had been standing next to him: "Old Han, you are staring at this improved new plow, if those farmers think it is good, let Chen Mu build a few and send them to Chang'an!" ”

"Huh? Also sent? ”

"Yes, send it back!"

Nodding, Li Yuanjia smiled with a slightly strange expression: "Since the emperor sent someone to Luzhou to ask for our Quyuan plow, it means that he also thinks this is a good thing, so if there is any improvement, it will naturally be sent over in time......"
