"This price is not low, how many horses can you sell in a day? The current market is no longer good," the groom said slowly, not in a hurry at all. Granmu gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty taels!" It can't be less, and it took a lot of effort to transport it in the Western Regions! Don't let us make a loss-making deal! The groom stretched out four fingers and said, "The price is forty taels!" The transaction will give you cash directly, and I will take it away! Granmu thought about it again and again, looking extremely hesitant and entangled, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, just let me go to the restaurant twice less, take it away!" The groom went up to take the reins of the horse, Su Bai took out forty taels of silver on his body and gave it directly to Granmu, the groom smiled: "The goods are clear", Grammu looked at the silver and said: "The goods are clear."

The groom led the horse with a smile and said, "Owner, let's go", Su Bai nodded, followed and walked out of the horse market, the front foot just came out of the horse market, and the back foot groom laughed and said: "The owner, this is a good horse!" Su Bai smiled: "Did we pick it up?" The groom was stunned, shook his head and said: "That's not it, but it's definitely worth the money, if this horse was in troubled times two years ago, I am afraid that it will not be able to get down without a hundred taels, these two years have been peaceful, and the horse is not as expensive as the previous two years!" Su Bai smiled: "Then you just said that this horse is good, but you don't know where it is?" ”

The groom smiled: "This horse can be said to be a BMW, not only has good endurance and fast running, but also can carry weight!" Even if it is placed in the war horse, it is a good horse! Su Bai was stunned, weight-bearing? Seeing that Su Bai was a little puzzled, the groom explained: "That's right, I took a closer look at the horse bones just now, this horse's bones are thick, and at first glance it is a BMW that can carry weight, but it is usually not fed properly, and it is a little thin, so I can't see it." Su Bai nodded ignorantly, he didn't understand these things at all, what the groom said was what it was.

The groom stretched out his hand and touched the horse's head and said: "This should be the cub of a BMW, it can have such bones at the age of three, and after two years, even if it is fully armored, it can travel more than 100 miles a day!" Only then did Su Bai understand what the old horseman meant by the weight, yes, the war horses in the Tang Dynasty are not only saddles, but also horse armor, plus human armor, then the weight is not less than two hundred catties, this is not counting weapons, such as phoenix wings and gold hammers! That's the weight of five hundred catties, if you can't bear the weight, I'm afraid you'll be tired before you charge.

The carriage is much easier to buy, mainly the style, just pick a random one, of course, it is the kind with a shed, otherwise you have to freeze to death, and it will be a little troublesome to find a groom in the end. For example, Wang Fatzi is a big family, the grooms are all raised by themselves, and the food and accommodation are in their own homes, and the Wang family is too small now, and there is no place to live in the grooms, so they can only hire grooms, which is a bit laborious, and I have not found a suitable one after looking for three or four dental stores.

In the end, I found a short-term one, I used it first, and the groom I was looking for was in his thirties, a native of Chang'an, with a very honest face, the price was fifty wen a day, the meal, and the absolute high salary, I agreed without saying a word, if it wasn't for something in the next month, I planned to do it with Su Baichang. This trip is busy, the time is already noon, find a restaurant and eat casually, there are more and more small vendors on the street, everyone also cherishes the day of lifting the curfew once a year, selling lamps, selling snacks, selling lantern riddles, selling everything, the atmosphere is a hot mess, the cold wind seems to have become softer under their enthusiasm.

......

In the main hall, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui surrounded Li Shimin's case, and said in unison: "See Your Majesty!" Li Shimin laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up", "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them straightened up, and they all didn't understand why they called the three of them over after the meeting, and looked left and right, and they were all confused.

Li Shimin chuckled twice and said: "Two days ago, I received a congratulatory gift to solve my horse problem, and yesterday I received another congratulatory gift, which can solve farming!" "The three of them were stunned, solve farming? Fang Xuanling Shili asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you said about solving farming, but how to solve it?" ”。 Li Shimin laughed and said: "One person plows the land of five people, and only one ploughing ox is needed!" ”。 Fang Xuanling was shocked, one is five! And all it takes is a ploughing cow? He was a little skeptical, but he knew in his heart that if it wasn't true, His Majesty wouldn't be able to say it in front of the three of them.

The eldest grandson Wuji saluted: "The minister asks to see the congratulatory gift that His Majesty said", Li Shimin smiled and said: "There is nothing to do, Wang Xi, order to go down and bring the ox and plough to the imperial garden" "Yes" The four people in the hall only heard his voice, but did not see a human figure, these three are all old ministers, and it is not strange that Wang Xi is elusive. Li Shimin smiled and took the hands of the three of them and said: "Let's go, let's go to the imperial garden together, I personally ploughed a field yesterday, and you can try it today."

Du Ruhui was also surprised when he heard it: "Your Majesty, can you also plow the fields in winter?" This tickled Li Shimin's itch, and he nodded with a smile: "Naturally, this is five times the efficiency of an ordinary plow in winter, and if it is summer, I am afraid it will be ten times more than that!" ”

At this moment, the three of them were all speechless in surprise! Ten times over! The most important thing in Datang is land, and what is lacking is the people who farm! This, this! Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "The minister congratulates Your Majesty, if you can really use one as ten, Your Majesty, the country is stable, and the world is peaceful!" When several people heard this, they all laughed, the people take food as the sky, as long as they can eat enough, there will be no thieves in Datang! Why worry about the instability of the country!

When the three of them came to the Imperial Garden, the ox had already been brought over, and a guard was holding the plow, and Li Shimin went over and said, "A few Aiqing are optimistic!" After saying that, he drove up the ploughing oxen, and several people watched the hard land separate under the ploughshare, with a depth of more than half a foot, Fang Xuanling's eyes became brighter the more he looked at it, and finally regardless of His Majesty's presence, he reached out and grabbed the plow handle and cultivated it himself. Li Shimin didn't care, after so many years, he naturally understood Fang Xuanling's temperament.

Fang Xuanling has been cultivating for a quarter of an hour, after all, he is old, his physical strength is a little unable to keep up, and he is tired of sweating, but his expression is extremely excited: "Your Majesty, this plow is really labor-saving, the minister congratulates Your Majesty, congratulates the world!" Li Shimin laughed and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will discuss the new policy, and if I don't make good use of this sharp weapon, wouldn't it be a violent thing!" Hahaha! Du Ruhui also laughed, only the eldest grandson Wuji smiled a little reluctantly, the new deal? How can it be so easy, I don't know how many people's interests will be touched if it is promoted!

"The minister asks His Majesty to give him the gift of inventing this thing!" Fang Xuanling's expression was serious, and he bowed deeply to Li Shimin. Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Today's Lantern Festival, I plan to meet this person", "Your Majesty can't!" The eldest grandson Wuji said, regardless of the rudeness, he ran to the front and said: "Your Majesty's golden body, even if he invents such a sharp weapon, Your Majesty is waiting for him to see it, today's Lantern Festival, the streets are crowded with people, Your Majesty, I am afraid that people with intentions will take advantage of the chaos to stab you!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "It's okay, with Wang Xi, they can't turn over any storms" The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to persuade, but when he looked up and saw Li Shimin's expression, his body stiffened, His Majesty's expression was too clear to him, when he decided to go to Xuanwumen, he had such an expression on his face!

......

After the three of them retired, Li Shimin still stood in the imperial garden and said, "Wang Xi, let you investigate Wang Chouniu, how is the investigation?" The old eunuch flashed out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Wang Chouniu's son is not supported by the family, but is undoubtedly a farmer's son." The old slave investigated, this son was no different from an ordinary naughty boy before, but just last year he was up-and-coming, and he just started to cheat money near the official road, which attracted Lu Guogong's sister-in-law, Mr. Zhao Ming, Mr. Zhao Ming saw that he was smart and clever, and moved the idea of accepting apprentices. This son is gifted, there is no forgetfulness, but also the learning ability is first-class, everything you have seen, you can learn a seven, seven, eighty, eight, even calligraphy, as long as you write in front of him once, he can copy eight or nine points similar. It was even more in the limelight at the previous chrysanthemum poetry meeting, which suppressed Fang Qingshan in "Changchun College", and now he is called a small Wenqu star! A few days ago, His Majesty rewarded him, and he became a brother with Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of Lu Guogong's family, and returned to Huangniu Village to open a wine shop. ”。

If Su Bai was here, he would definitely be half dead, and in just one night, Su Bai's old bottom would be investigated!

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's good that it's not supported by the family, but tonight I want to see, a farmer, where did this wonderful idea come from!" ”

Su Bai has a new carriage, of course, he has to show off a circle, the first stop is Liaozhai, the second stop is "Mingde College", today Zhao Ming is at home, I saw Su Bai come over and smiled: "I heard your master and mother say that you are here yesterday, I am still thinking about whether you will come today, you kid has a heart!" Su Bai saluted respectfully and said: "Teacher, the student just came today, and it is already a salute."

Zhao Ming said with a smile: "The wine you sent yesterday has been tasted for the teacher, how can there be such a strong wine?" Where did you buy it? Su Bai sat beside Zhao Ming and said: "It's a wine shop opened by Tu'er and Chu Mo, this is our first batch of test products, there are only two jars in total." Zhao Ming nodded and said, "You found the secret recipe?" Su Bai nodded, and Zhao Ming said helplessly: "You kid, if you put your mind on studying, I'm afraid you can get the champion" Then I thought about it, if you don't focus on studying, it seems that you can also get the champion......

The two chatted happily, and when it was almost dark, Su Bai left, and in the evening he had already made an appointment with Wang Fatzi and Fat Girl to go to see the lights together at night.
