Chapter 39: The Emperor Will Be a Cow and a Horse
The ease of use of the Quyuan plough not only surprised Li Shimin, but even the other ministers around him who were watching were also surprised and couldn't close their mouths.
In winter, the cold air freezes the ground into a stone.
It is difficult to use an ordinary straight plow, even if it is replaced with an iron straight plow, and there must be two or three oxen in front of it to pull it.
In addition, the use of straight ploughs in winter is not only a loss to cattle, but also to the extent of wear and tear of farm tools than at other times.
And now......
A modified curved plough can be used not only in winter, but also by a group of older horses.
What this means, there is no need for anyone else to say more.
Although Li Shimin cannot be said to be proficient in farming, at least he has a lot of experience in farming.
"Good! Good! Good! Li Shimin excitedly shouted three times in a row.
Farming, a major event of the country!
Once the Quyuan plough was promoted by the imperial court, it could not only solve the problem of difficult farming, but also release a signal that the emperor valued the people.
"Take this curved plow down, I will pull her myself!" Li Shimin suddenly thought of another possibility, and hurriedly shouted at the guards.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it!"
Li Shimin waved his hand calmly and said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I can pull this plow alone, have you ever thought about it?" ”
Fang Xuanling was shocked in his heart, Li Shimin's reminder made him think of a possibility, if it is really possible, then farming can not rely too much on the plough, as long as there is enough zigzag plough, even if the ploughing ox is too busy, it will not affect the farming.
The time suitable for cultivation is so much every year, and if it is delayed, the seeds planted will either not grow well or will not grow at all.
This means that in the same amount of time, people can cultivate more land.
For the narrow township, it is nothing more than to reduce the cultivation time and improve the cultivation efficiency, but for the wide township, it means that the remaining land can be used, which is equivalent to increasing the yield in disguise.
After thinking about it, Fang Xuanling decided to think differently: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, how can there be a reason to be a cow and a horse?" ”
"Fang Xiang's words are wrong!" Li Yuanjing walked over slowly with Fang Yiai's hands behind his back, and just heard Fang Xuanling persuading Li Shimin, so he couldn't help but stand up and feel a sense of existence angrily.
He gave Cheng Zhijie a contemptuous look, as if to say that your old Comrade Cheng is not kind.
This king has given all the credit to your boy, you are good, you want to swallow it alone!
If it weren't for the fact that I just entered the palace today, I happened to hear that you Cheng Zhijie was offering treasures, and this king was really hidden from you.
"What's wrong with what Fang Xiang said?" Seeing that Li Yuanjing was coming, Li Shimin hurriedly took the words, so as not to make a mess of this second goods and six relatives who had a missing head and tendons.
A few days ago, he scolded Wei Zheng in the court, and Wei Zheng was speechless.
The result was good, Wei Zheng couldn't beat Li Yuanjing, so he sprinkled his anger on Li Shimin, but what Wei Zheng said was right, but it made Li Shimin depressed for a while.
Now Li Shimin is a little afraid that Li Yuanjing will go to the ministers again, he must take care of the minister's face, and he can't deal with Li Yuanjing too harshly.
Now there are still people who are thieves and plan to use King Zhao to talk about things.
"Your Majesty is an ox, a horse, just to pull the plow away, if you think that Your Majesty's ninety-five dignity, the body of ten thousand gold, should be pulled by horses and carried by carts, then you might as well send this king to the throne......" Li Yuanjing hesitated, slapped in the face, how can you slap the face if you don't die?
"Your Highness must not talk nonsense......"
"Your Highness is cautious ......"
Li Yuanjing dared to die without thinking, but the ministers didn't dare to follow him, and hurriedly stopped them one by one with frightened faces.
Anyway, why didn't you think King Zhao was so capable of dying before? Is it because of a brain disease?
By the way, has Your Highness taken medicine on time during this time? Did you stick the needle on time?
Li Shimin did not reprimand Li Yuanjing, nor did he stop the persuasion of the ministers, but looked at Li Yuanjing with a smile, as if waiting for his explanation.
Li Yuanjing smiled, pointed to Quyuan plough and said: "Your Majesty is a cow and horse, the people are Quyuan plows, and the ministers are the farmers who are responsible for the direction behind them!" ”
Hearing this explanation, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth.
But if you think about it deeper, you will feel that there are some problems with what Li Yuanjing said.
"Why can't I be the farmer in charge of the direction?"
"Because the strength of the ox is great, so is the strength of Your Majesty!" Li Yuanjing smiled and didn't want to say more.
This death is perfect, no, it should be said that this face-slapping operation is perfect, and the minister who beat him is speechless, especially Cheng Zhijie, who is still confused and doesn't understand what happened!
"If the ox is willing to pull the plough when ploughing, it will keep moving forward, and if the ox is unwilling, the farmer will not be able to pull it with a whip!" The eldest grandson Wuji muttered secretly in a small voice.
Although the voice was not loud, it was just enough for everyone present to hear.
Li Shimin instantly understood the meaning of this sentence!
He is the emperor, he has absolute power in his hands, as long as he determines the goal, then he must achieve it, and what the ministers play is just an executor, plus a supervisor, can achieve this goal as soon as possible, without mistakes, or fewer mistakes.
If you don't want to do something in the first place, then it's useless for the ministers to say more.
Although Li Yuanjing's words have a kind of disrespectful meaning, the truth in them secretly reminds him of what he should do as an emperor.
And another hint is that I should pull the people forward, and the ministers should be responsible for assisting them so as not to let deviations occur, rather than the ministers pulling the people and assisting themselves.
The emperor should not only enjoy the power and glory it brings, but also assume his due responsibility.
Since the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Li Shimin has made up his mind to restore the Tang Dynasty to the glory of the former Sui period as soon as possible, or even surpass the former Sui ......
"You've seen it better than I do!" Li Shimin sighed secretly, although he still did not let go of his vigilance against Li Yuanjing, but now he felt that Li Yuanjing's threat was not great.
Although the year is not big, and the city government is too low, if you have these thoughts, you will definitely bury them deeply, waiting for the opportunity.
And this opportunity is actually not far away, as long as he waits a few more years, and then takes it out when he asks him to go to the domain, and runs it for three or five years, he will basically be the emperor on the other side of the domain.
Li Shimin sighed again, it seems that it is time to change his opinion of Li Yuanjing again!
"Although I am the emperor, there are times when the ministers dare not speak, Yuan Jing, you and my brothers should work together and go hand in hand, come, let's pull this plow together......"
Li Yuanjing shook his head violently and retreated, what are you kidding?
I gave you a reason to work, and you still want to drag me into the water?
"Don't pull ...... I'm still young, it's when I grow my body, I can't pull such a big plow, I think the royal brother can be alone, in fact, the younger brother is a lazy person, if it is not forced by life, it is that the younger brother is lazy to do these things, and the benefits are not to be said, and they are still remembered......"
