Chapter 41: Fang Er's knighthood

"Build a canal, there is a shortage of water in every place in the dry season, and go directly to the head of the canal will waste a lot of water, so that there is no water available in the back place, and it is not realistic to rely on this irrigation, so we can only find a way to save the consumption of water on the way, build a wooden canal, leave a small hole in each house, and use two buckets in turn, the amount of water is not large, but it is enough." Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing paused.

This method is to maximize water saving, and the halfway loss rate is reduced by more than 90 percent, and there is basically no loss.

Now the farmers use the drip irrigation method, that is, it is enough to carry a bucket and use a small bowl to water some water on the roots, which is a root watering, unlike direct irrigation in later generations.

"Hey! This is also the reason why the courtiers have to exchange the palace establishment for the craftsman establishment, if the imperial court can really attach importance to the craftsmen and formulate a reward and punishment system to stimulate them, these things, and even some unexpected things, have already been tinkered out by them......"

The two things in reality, coupled with Li Yuanjing's words, brought great touch to Li Shimin.

I couldn't help but look at the rotating waterwheel again, buckets of water were brought into the sink, and then along the laid section of pipe rack to the place where it should go.

The focus is still on the core bearing.

Before today, no one thought that the waterwheel could still be used like this, and some changes to the straight plow could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After pointing out the main points, even Li Shimin didn't feel that there was any difficulty in this matter.

But for thousands of years, no one has ever broken it.

Is it really because of the low status of craftsmen?

"Let's talk about it!" Li Shimin shook his head and rejected Li Yuanjing's proposal.

Although Li Shimin also saw the huge benefits contained in it, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Looking at Li Yuanjing, who was bored and angry, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you going to do next?" What kind of person do you want, I will transfer it to you from the palace! ”

"Build a house!" Li Yuanjing said with some anger.

Such a big benefit has been given to you, and it is so difficult to give a few preparations?

Without compilation, what can I do to fool people? If you don't come to fool people, what can I do to enjoy it?

When my brother's heart was taken out to you, but you took your heart but laughed at it? Is there a brother like you?

"The palace in Chongrenfang is indeed smaller, so let's give you one from the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, which is different from them!" Li Shimin nodded.

He hasn't been to Zhao Wangfu, but he has heard that he can hardly even find a place to put his feet, as a prince, this kind of palace is indeed a little shivering.

The Sixteen Prince's Mansion is a palace built according to the specifications of the prince, and there are only sixteen palaces in the whole workshop, each of which covers an area of about 50 acres, and all kinds of facilities are also complete, although they have never been used.

But entering the Sixteen Princes' Mansion generally means being in captivity, and Li Shimin didn't want to cause misunderstanding, so he deliberately explained that he was different from them.

"No need, the younger brother thinks it's very good here, and the house of the Zhuang people is also very broken, and the younger brother plans to demolish their house and build a new palace here." Li Yuanjing directly rejected Li Shimin's kindness, he felt a little chilled, what he took back was real benefits, but what he gave out was illusory things.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, take a shot and move your whole body!" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and reminded in a low voice.

"Do you see that this king looks angry?" Li Yuanjing rolled his eyes at the eldest grandson Wuji, and continued: "This king is engaged in quyuan plough and waterwheel, not to invite merit, and that bit of credit is not rare for this king, this king just wants Zhuang Min to serve this king wholeheartedly, but this will inevitably affect farming, and when they have no food to eat, don't they still have to eat this king?"

This king is so poor that he is dying of hunger, how can he have any money left to feed them? Therefore, we can only find a way to let them have enough food first, and then come to serve the king wholeheartedly.

Brother Huang, don't talk about more, there is an interval of about 400 tilts between the two imperial villages, give me the 400 tilts, and I will build a palace there when the time comes. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Shimin reprimanded sharply, which was a bit confusing.

All the plots along the river and near the water belong to Shangtian, especially these good places around Chang'an City, even Yongzhou Mansion has no right to allocate them, let alone the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian.

These good plots are either imperial estates, or they are rewarded to meritorious ministers, or they are in the hands of the family.

There are six masters of the four hundred lands, which one is not famous?

And in this place, the production is more than in other places, and who willingly give up the land?

If Li Shimin forcibly expropriates land, it is not that he will not be able to come, but in this way he will offend these people, and now is the time when stability is needed, and the elite class can still not be offended.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give up the hundred dumps of land!" The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin's jealousy, so he hurriedly took the initiative to give up the land.

"The minister is also willing to ......"

"Ministers can also ......"

Fang Du and the others followed, but the two of them didn't have much land, and the total was only a hundred, and the eldest grandson Wuji took the queen's light, so he shared more.

It is true that Li Yuanjing has six owners of this land, but among the six people, there are four who are present today.

Looking at Cheng Zhijie, who was as if nothing had happened, Fang Xuanling kept throwing flattering eyes.

"It's not that the minister's fifty tilt can't be allowed, but it has to be changed, everyone knows what the market is here, and Your Majesty is not too much to change the minister for a hundred tilts in other waterfront places, right?" Cheng Zhijie thought about it and made a reluctant gesture to bargain.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly, merit is not rewarded, this is not his style, but it is indeed difficult.

After he refused, the other ministers all gave him a step, but Cheng Zhijie asked for benefits like a two-hundred-and-five.

Li Shimin actually didn't have a good way to deal with this essence, so he had to smile and said, "Well, it should be, let the household department handle this matter!" ”

Although there is nothing to do, it is still okay to disgust Cheng Zhijie, who let this thing be disgusted all day long?

Li Shimin thought for a while and asked, "Xuan Ling is from Linzi County, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is from Linzi County!" Fang Xuanling understood, and hurriedly responded with excitement.

"Well, Fang Yiai has merit in offering waterwheels, but this credit is slightly insufficient, so he will be named the founder of Linzi County!" Li Shimin nodded.

The county man is only the lowest-level knighthood, but even if it is the lowest, it is also from the treatment of the fifth grade, which is to see Fang Xuanling's face before giving the lowest level of the title, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that even Qu Yuan plough is added together, and you may not be able to get the reward of the county man.

"Your Majesty will be rewarded...... Well? Fang Xuanling felt that the environment seemed to be a little wrong, why was he thanking him alone? Turning his head and seeing Fang Yiai, who was in a daze, he hurriedly kicked his ass in anger: "Don't you thank Shengen soon?" ”

"Oh! Xiaomin ...... Ah no, it's a little man...... No, the small county ...... "Fang Yiai was stunned for a while, in what capacity should I thank you?" Also, how should the founding Linzi County man call himself?

Happiness came so suddenly that Fang Yuai was completely defenseless.

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "That's it!" That's it! Do things well in the future, don't bother your dad anymore! ”

"Little ......" Fang Yiai was still struggling with how to call himself, and he couldn't help but have an idea, and hurriedly said: "Little nephew obeys the holy order......"

"Hahaha......" Fang Xuanling's performance made Fang Xuanling hate to take out a three-foot-long knife to teach him how to behave, but Li Shimin and others turned back and fell back with laughter, which was really funny.
