Wang Lang pointed to the new three orders in the distance and shouted angrily.

The temple was silent suddenly, the hundred officials were speechless, and Liu Xi was the same, his eyes widened, and he was silent for a long time, before he said helplessly: "The prince and sit down first, this matter will be discussed later...", the stubborn old man sat down thoughtfully, looking at Pang Tong's eyes full of anger, Pang Tong smiled bitterly, it seems that the road of the three orders will not be too smooth, this is the first time that such a thing happened.

There are Wang Lang Fangcai's words, originally to propose to the ministers to let Pang Tong serve as the third order, Sun Quan, who carried out a ceremony, was also a little silent, he felt that it might not be suitable to jump out and say these things now, when he looked at the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven also shook his head, obviously, Liu Xi wanted to skip this ceremony, since this was the case, Sun Quan did not mention it again, which made this court discussion very embarrassing.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang got up in time to break the silence in the temple, and he said: "Your Majesty, there are two new machines in the Gongfu, and the minister has seen them himself, among which Ma Servant led twenty-three craftsmen to improve the plough, and they changed the straight and long wheels to the curved and short wheels. And put a plough plate that can be rotated on the wheel, so that the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, and it is easy to turn and turn, and the operation is flexible, and the old man can also control it..."

"The minister has seen the finished product, and it has been promoted in several counties of Sili, and the people are very happy, it can save manpower, and there is no need for livestock... After the promotion of this thing, it is probably possible to increase the grain output of the Han Dynasty several times, Your Majesty, please order the Ministry of Industry to forge this thing with all its might, and promote it to the whole world! Zhuge Liang said calmly, but everyone was shocked and started talking.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was overjoyed, and was about to praise Ma Jun, but he turned his head to look, but there was no Ma Jun among the hundred officials, Zhuge Liang also saw the mind of the Son of Heaven, and said helplessly: "Ma Gong is still developing a novelty, which is particularly dangerous, he is not worried about the rest of the masters, and he operates it personally, so these days, they are all on vacation..."

Liu Xi nodded, Ma Jun rarely comes to the temple, and rarely participates in court discussions, he knows this, Ma Jun is probably the most alternative minister in the temple, but the Son of Heaven just prefers him, after all, every time he makes something, it makes the Han Dynasty change dramatically, Liu Xi asked again: "What about the second thing?" And what is it? ”

"The new type of overturned, Ma Gong overturned and improved...", Zhuge Liang said again, and the officials nodded one after another, although they don't look down on craftsmen, but such things that are conducive to agriculture and mulberry are naturally the more the better, and the temple will reward those farmers with amazing grain output, not to mention the equipment manufacturers who are conducive to agriculture.

Everyone praised Ma Gong's great merits, and the silent atmosphere dissipated.

Zhuge Liang just sat down, Deng Ai stood up again and said, "Minister.. Minister... Minister.. There is a play, which is obtained from Jiaozhou.. Target.. The new rice, as the locals call it. Make... Early occupation of the city... I went to see for myself... See... I've seen it.. Among them, the excellent ones are resistant. Drought-tolerant, even in drylands where water is scarce, this crop is ideal for areas in Dahan where water is too scarce to be widely cultivated...."

"In addition, this kind of rice is very adaptable and grows regardless of the land. Even in the area outside the Saiwai area, it can grow... Bear... Bear... Growth, and the growth period and... Again... It is short, and it is only fifty from seed to harvest. Ten.. For more than ten days, if it can be matched with late rice... Can.. Can.. It becomes a double cropping rice with a large grain yield. Massive.. Increase.. Increase. Deng Ai said with difficulty.

Liu Xi's eyes widened and asked, "Is that really the case?" It was only promoted in Yangzhou before, how did you know this? ”

"Minister. Minister... For these early occupations of the city. . Carry out.. Yes.. Classification, in different regions... Got a lot of different farming test plots... Again and again from the tillage was carried out.. Again and again. Divide... Classify.. Finally.. Get.. Got an excellent breed... Came up with these... Knot.. Conclusion. ”

"Good!! All right!! A happy event, a great event!! There is a machine made by Ma Gong, and there is a rice product found by Deng Jun... Hahaha, God bless the man!! Liu Xi this time, he was indeed out of shape, after hearing so much good news, even the sharp pain in his heart was much less, he said happily, with a smile on his face.

"God bless the man!! Congratulations to Your Majesty!! Liu Xi was bowed by everyone, but his face was still full of joy, this time the court discussion was extraordinarily smooth, everyone played, the Son of Heaven was extremely gentle, extremely conniving, and even for some unreliable playing, he was not angry or reprimanded.

As soon as the court meeting ended, the Son of Heaven pulled Sanling, and Deng Ai, and quickly walked to the Houde Palace, sitting in the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven finally couldn't help laughing, laughing loudly, Zhuge Liang was also a little happy in his heart, since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he saw the Son of Heaven so happy for the first time, Liu Xi was happy like a child, and couldn't help but ask again and again:

"Kong Ming, can that machine really allow children and old people to work in the fields??"

"That's right, Your Majesty."

"The new overturned car can irrigate more farmland?"

"Indeed, the minister himself has gone to see it..."

"When are you going to take me to see it? I want to see it! ”

"Your Majesty, you can do it anytime, why don't you go and see it tomorrow?"

"No, no, I'll take me over later!"

"Respectfully!"

"Shizai, the kind of rice you are talking about... Can it really grow outside the plug?? Is it okay in Liangzhou? ”

"It should be possible, Your Majesty, and the ministers are in the world. . . Every.. Men have been arranged to test it in various places..."

"What about Youzhou?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are in each. Every.. I've tried it everywhere, and it's all okay. ”

"What about the merger?"

Deng Ai was speechless, just looked at the Son of Heaven blankly, and after a while, Liu Xi seemed to realize that he was a little too happy, and hurriedly became serious, and said: "In this way, the grain production will be higher, and the people will be able to eat, no matter whether it is a famine or something, no one will starve to death, okay, this time, you can be said to have made a great contribution!" ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent!" , Everyone worshipped, Liu Xi hurriedly asked them to get up, and then ordered: "Shizai, you immediately arrange the promotion of new rice, and also, the world's novel crops, maybe not only this kind of rice, I think, in addition to the Han, there may be such a peculiar crop, I want you to send people to all over the world, overseas, outside the Saiwai, to find some crops that the Han does not have, even if it is bought with a thousand gold, I think it is worth it!" ”

"Respectfully!" , Deng Ai said, obviously, this time the peculiar crops, so that the Son of Heaven found another way to improve grain production, to search for crops, this is not a very difficult thing, Deng Ai agreed, the Son of Heaven handed over the promotion of crops to him, and once again asked if the outside of the plug could also be cultivated, then let Deng Ai leave.

Deng Ai left, and there were only three orders left in the Houde Palace.

Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, there are many emperors who send people to overseas to seek immortals, and to seek immortals outside the Saiwai, but I have never heard of emperors going overseas to seek grains for the people, and Your Majesty's merits will be passed down through the ages...", Liu Xi shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "This is nothing, or talk about this mechanical matter, I want to personally reward those craftsmen." ”

"Respectfully!" , Zhuge Liang bowed, Liu Xi looked at Liu Yi at this time, and said: "Don't get involved in these things, you go to Merge for me... It is said that the local officials of the prefecture forced the local Yidao people to rebel, suppressed them, and cheated them to obtain military merits, these things, you must find out, if there is really such an act, no matter who is involved, you can deal with it! ”

"Sincerely."

"Shiyuan...", Liu Xi looked at Pang Tong at this time, Pang Tong stepped forward to bow, Liu Xi said gently: "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to be so polite, what about me, I'm going to go to the outside of the city with Kong Ming, look at those machines, for the time being, I bother you to take someone to deal with the recitals in various places, you can ask your subordinates more, they know how to deal with it, there are recitals you don't dare to deal with, just stay, wait for me to come back." ”

"Sincerely." , Pang Tong promised, Liu Xi couldn't wait to let Zhuge Ling take him to see those new machinery, the yellow gate in the palace prepared a carriage, Liu Xi sent someone to inform the queen, and then Zhuge Liang left the palace and sat in the carriage, the Son of Heaven was still asking about the situation of the Gongfu, Zhuge Liang replied one by one, "What is Ma Gong busy with now?" ”

"The minister doesn't understand, how to say it, it's a weapon, it will make a deafening sound, and it can also make fire, Ma Gong and the minister explained, but the minister also knows a little about it, it is said that this is what Ma Gong knows from Fang Shi, and has been studying for many years, and now it has gradually achieved some results, but unfortunately, it is too dangerous, and three craftsmen have unfortunately died... Even Ma Gong..."

"Now he also has some tinnitus, he can't hear words very clearly, he has been injured several times, and he is covered in scars... It's unbearable to look at... Alas. ”

Liu Xi's face gradually became solemn, and he ordered seriously: "You must ensure the safety of the craftsmen, the safety of Ma Gong, that thing, even if you don't want it, don't let Ma Gong have an accident, you will inform him later, and he is not allowed to risk himself!" The two talked, and finally came to the destination, as soon as they arrived at the destination, Liu Xi hurriedly walked out of the carriage, and Zhuge Liang led him to a farmland.

This is a place of experimentation in the Gongfu, the craftsmen learned that the Son of Heaven was coming, naturally they were particularly frightened, Liu Xi was very cordial to talk to them, this is to see their new plow, when the craftsman came out with the plough, and turned the soil on the land, Liu Xi smiled on his face, and even regardless of Zhuge Liang's opposition, he personally stepped into the farmland, pushed the plow, and turned around on the land.

"Good! That's great! Liu Xi stroked the plow, as if a father was as loving as his child.

"Kong Ming..."

"Your Majesty?"

"Hearing the good news today... I can finally close one of my eyes with peace of mind, and I don't know when I will be able to close it...", Liu Xi looked up at the scorching sun and said blankly.

"Your Majesty?" , Zhuge Liang asked with some concern.

Liu Xi looked at him, grinned, and said, "Does this plough have a name?" ”

"Not yet."

"How about calling it Yankang Plough?"

"Very good."

"And the new overturned, called Yankang overturned... By the way, what is that rice call for? ”

"Is Your Majesty talking about Yankang Rice?"

"Hahaha, yes, I'm talking about Yankang rice! That's a good name. ”
