After the spring exam, many examiners are reviewing the candidates' papers.

At this time, spring ploughing had begun in all parts of the Tang Kingdom.

When it comes to sowing seeds, spring plowing is different in many places.

In some places, there is one crop, in some places there is two crops a year, in some places there are three crops a year, and in the southern countries, three crops a year, so the supply of grain is relatively large.

It is true that in the Central Plains, there are two crops a year, and there are places in the Tang State that are two crops a year, but there are also places that are too cold and can be harvested once a year.

If it is ripe, it is after the beginning of spring, spring ploughing begins.

Spring ploughing is a major event of the country, if spring ploughing is not done well, then in the next year, the harvest will be bad, the harvest will not be good, and the stability of the Tang State will have a great impact.

So after the beginning of spring, Li Yu had already sent people to organize the people to carry out spring ploughing, and in addition, he also asked the people of the Ministry of Industry to make some new ploughing tools: Quyuan plow.

All along, the ploughing tools they use are straight ploughs, which are more troublesome and difficult to operate, and only one or two people can do it, but if they use curved ploughs, the operation is simple, and the ploughing is deeper.

After the spring test, spring ploughing began in various parts of the Tang Kingdom, and Li Yu came with his ministers outside the capital.

The people were farming, or they were grabbing seeds, and after seeing Li Yu, they all ran over excitedly.

"Long live the saints, long live the saints......

Li Yu nodded and asked, "How about the Quyuan plow I sent you?" ”

After the Quyuan plough is done, it has been distributed to the people in various places, and a village does not need too much, one or two are on the line, so as to improve the speed, of course, there is a straight plough, you can also use it first.

This year's situation is too urgent, the Quyuan plow has not been made so much, according to Li Yu's meaning, at least three households will have a Quyuan plow in the future, so that the efficiency can be improved faster.

was asked by Li Yu, and these people immediately said excitedly.

"Holy Lord, this Quyuan plow is very easy to use, the old man and I can plow a piece of land alone."

"The saint is really powerful, he even understands such things as cultivating land."

"Hey......

Li Yu smiled, among these people, there are even people who can make sycophants.

"Seeing that you are using it conveniently, I will rest assured, come, I will help you plow the land."

When these words came out, the ministers suddenly looked slightly moved, and wanted to stop them, but those people had no scruples, and they immediately became excited.

This is a good time for Li Yu to win the hearts of the people, and he can't stop it.

Soon, Li Yu came to a field, the prime minister's eldest grandson Wuji led the ox in front, and Li Yu supported the plow behind.

"Eldest grandson Aiqing, let's go!"

Li Yu shouted, and the eldest grandson Wuji slapped the cow's buttocks, and then the cow walked in front, the cow walked a little fast, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't hold it in front, he didn't know anything about it.

Li Yu worked very hard in the back, and in the end, a common man ran over and helped Changsun Wuji control the cow, and Li Yu slowly adapted to this rhythm in the back.

In this way, back and forth, after plowing an acre of land, Li Yu was already tired and sweating profusely, and he felt that plowing was more tiring than fighting. After plowing, Li Yu stood in the field and couldn't help but sigh: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil." Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, I now know the hard work of farming, folks, you have worked hard, I thank you for being able to feed so many people in my Tang Kingdom. ”

Li Yu sympathized with the peasants, and what he said was sincere, and after those people heard this, they suddenly burst into tears of excitement.

"When the Holy One said this, he saw us outside."

"That is, we, the common people, have no ability, we have physical strength, we can farm, you protect the family and defend the country, we are all in our own duties, what is the hard work or not."

Among the peasants, there are also some people who are insightful, and what they say is not ordinary when they hear it.

Li Yu suffered with the people, and it was not until around dusk that he finally returned to the palace.

Spring ploughing is coming to an end and there should be a good harvest this year.

--------------------

Time was slow, and after a few days, the examiner had already selected the ones they thought were well written, and then showed them to Li Yu.

"Holy Lord, these are all good insights into various countries, please take a look!" Du Ruhui took the roll.

Li Yu nodded, took a look, and found that there were about 20 good people, but among these 20 or so people, there were not many countries involved.

Basically, they are all countries around the Tang Kingdom, except for these, and the farther ones, like the Song Kingdom, Dali, and Zhou Kingdoms, there is no one to replace them. Obviously, these countries are too far away from their Tang Kingdom, and these candidates have never been there, so it is really a bit difficult for them to write, even if they write, they have frequent contacts with their Tang Kingdom, such as Liang State, Turkic, or small countries like Chen State, however, Li Yu does not underestimate small countries.

In such an era, small countries are destined to perish, so they do not need to be considered, he only looks at the situation of large countries.

And the first thing to look at is the Wei State, which is currently a very powerful country in the Central Plains, but I am afraid that it will soon become the opponent of his Tang State, and he needs to have some understanding of the Wei State.

There is only one person who writes about Wei Guo, Li Yu doesn't know the name for the time being, he needs to read it, compare it with the paper of the previous exam, and then tear off the seal to know whose paper it is.

He read the paper carefully and found that this candidate's analysis of Wei Guo made some sense.

"Du Aiqing, this candidate has analyzed Wei Guo, what do you think of his analysis?" Du Ruhui stood next to him and said: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that this candidate's analysis is very good, he analyzed the strength of the Wei State, the current Wei State, occupying the Central Plains, has sufficient grain reserves, which makes their population reserves also very large, and they can form soldiers and horses on a large scale, and because of their superiority."

The geographical location, they Wei has become a very important transportation place, merchants from all over the world pass through Wei, all for Wei to bring great economic benefits, its wealth and strength, than our Tang State. "These are all things that the candidates said on the papers, to be honest, when he saw this, Li Yu was a little uncomfortable, now they Tang State, all economic development is very good, the army is also very strong, the tiger and wolf army is invincible, but it is said that Wei is stronger than their Tang State, this is simply it

is looking down on his achievements during this time.

However, he had to admit that what this candidate said was very reasonable, under the governance of Wei Cao, the son of Wei State, the economy, population, and the number of soldiers and horses were all stronger than their Tang State. Of course, what is the strength of the soldiers and horses, Li Yu feels that they may not be weaker than the Wei State.
