Early the next morning after Wei Yan left, Lu Tianba came, and he found Xu Tian in the ground.

Looking at Xu Tian, who was covered in mud, Lu Tianba couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Tian's appearance, where does he look like a big man who is a prince and leads Jing Xiang, if you want to say that he is an out-and-out peasant, I'm afraid no one will not believe it.

"Come!" Xu Tian grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground again and beckoned to Lu Tianba, who was holding back a smile.

Lu Tianba walked over without any discomfort, squatted down, and looked at the pile of dirt in his hand with Xu Tian.

"Tianba, what do you say is the most important thing for the common people? Is it food or money? Xu Tian looked at Lu Tianba with a smile and asked.

"Needless to say, it must be food!" Lu Tianba replied without thinking.

For what he said, Lu Tianba couldn't be clearer.

You must know that their Lu family used to be engaged in grain trading.

In fact, whether it is the common people or high-ranking officials, a thousand catties of grain and a thousand catties of money, they will not hesitate to choose the former.

In normal times, you can buy food if you have money, but in the event of a famine or war, it is useless to have a mountain of money, and you can't buy food at all.

"Then do you know why food is so scarce?" Xu Tian asked again.

This time, Lu Tianba was silent for a moment before speaking.

"There are many reasons for this, such as a bad year, heavy taxes, continuous battles and so on!

But the main thing is that the output can't keep up! ”

"Yes, it's not just about yield, it's about how people farm nowadays.

It takes two cows to cultivate the land alone, and it's not very efficient.

I'm going to renovate the farming tools, and if it's successful, I won't need two cows to farm in the future, and not only that, but adults who don't have cows can rely on the farming tools to do it.

In this way, you can save a lot of effort! ”

Lu Tianba blinked, feeling a little dry in his throat.

For Xu Tian's words, he absolutely believed it.

However, the facts told by the other party are too appalling.

You know, in this era, the most precious thing is the cultivated cattle.

Because it is an important labor force for farming, if it can really be like what Xu Tian said, then farming in the future will be turned upside down.

"Big... Is what you just said true, my lord? Lu Tianba couldn't help but ask.

"It's true, but I still need to design it!" Xu Tian threw away the soil in his hand, clapped his hands and said.

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me? Let's talk about it! ”

Xu Tian said, walking on this vast wilderness.

Lu Tianba followed closely and said with some excitement.

"Originally, I came to tell you about food.

The previous continuous war cost a lot, and Xiangyang's treasury was already stretched.

In addition, the emperor came and built a palace, which cost a lot.

Today, the sale and export of cane sugar and salted fish is beyond their means.

What's more, we used to sell cane sugar and salted fish for money.

Now the mountain of money is worthless.

The people prefer to barter for goods, but in the end, it's the war that is causing trouble! ”

Listening to Lu Tianba's narration, Xu Tianshen thought so.

The reason why he wanted to build this manor was to develop more advanced things.

Whether it is farming tools, planting crops, or raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep and other poultry and livestock, it is his goal.

He wanted to take advantage of the convenience brought by his later generations to bring tangible benefits to the people under his rule.

For the people, what they care about is not how the rulers are doing, how many dishes and soups they eat.

They only care about whether they can eat three dishes and one soup every day.

Even if you can't, at least you have to fill your stomach.

Xu Tian knew this very well, and every time he thought of this, he sighed.

The boring life that he complained about in later generations was a fairy-like day for the people of this era.

The two walked one after the other, discussing their future plans.

Lu Tianba felt that he had grown too much insight with Xu Tian.

There were a lot of things he hadn't thought about.

The two talked and walked slowly towards the attic.

As soon as he returned to the attic, the guards who had been waiting here for a long time greeted him respectfully.

"King Qiqi! A shadow guard came to pay a visit, and the villain said that the king was not there, and he didn't want to leave, so he had to wait for the king to return! He also said that if he couldn't see the king, he wouldn't leave! ”

"Oh?" Xu Tian glanced at the guard curiously and spoke.

"In that case, go and bring him!"

The guards left respectfully, and Lu Tianba stepped forward from behind him, smiling.

"The king is too easy to speak, and the military advisor often says that it is not easy to control his subordinates!"

"You see it that way, too?" Xu Tian turned his head to look at Lu Tianba and said.

"No, no, no... I don't think the same way as the strategist. It must be that we are standing at different angles!

There will be cases mentioned by the military advisor, but only in a few cases.

It's the same as doing business, everyone says that this business is only about profit.

As everyone knows, a lot of buying and selling is a person! ”

While the two were talking, a person slowly walked in the distance.

The man was tightly wrapped in black armor, and only a pair of cold eyes appeared under the black helmet.

A long sword was carried behind him, half of it was covered by a black cloak.

From a distance, this person looks very heroic!

"Under the wind, meet the king!" Without the slightest hesitation, he came to Xu Tian and knelt directly on one knee, hugged his fists and bowed deeply.

Xu Tian and Lu Tianba were stunned at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Xu Tian stepped forward to help each other.

"If you have something, you can say it directly, it doesn't have to be like this!" Xu Tian smiled and said softly.

"The king is affectionate and friendly, and the grace of saving his wife will be hard to repay!"

The person who came clasped his fists and said, kneeling down to Xu Tian again.

"Save your wife?" Xu Tian frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said.

"That Xiuyun is your wife?"

"Exactly! The king not only saved Xiuyun, but also saved my child, such a generous kindness, Ling Feng will never forget it! ”

The person who came said, took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, and kowtowed to Xu Tian again.

"Hurry up!" Xu Tian helped the other party up again, only to find that the other party who took off his helmet looked more heroic than him.

The slender face is angular, especially the eyes, which are even more powerful!

"Ling Feng?" Lu Tianba fell into thought from the moment this person reported his name.

He always felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Just as Xu Tian helped Ling Feng up again, Lu Tianba suddenly clapped his palms and said.

"I remember, do you remember the swordsmanship master that Shen Du mentioned to us at the beginning?

I remember Shen Du once said that there is a super master among the shadow guards, and his swordsmanship is unbeatable, but he is only willing to be an ordinary shadow guard, and if he is reused or valued, he will leave immediately.

I remember that at that time, the king also joked that masters generally like to be ordinary people. ”
