The ploughshare is cast, and there is its own carpenter behind to load the ploughshare.

Speaking of ploughshares, Li Chengqian originally didn't know what the plough in the Tang Dynasty was like, but after arranging the construction of a shed to build a ploughshare on the first day, he went back and thought that although everyone reluctantly implemented his decision, they didn't understand him, so he asked Xue Rengui why this was?

Xue Rengui snorted for a long time before he said: "Even if you have a plough and no ploughing oxen, there is no way to plow the land, so don't build a shed and cast a plowshare first." ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled when he heard this, and when he returned to the East Palace, he asked people to find a plough to understand what was going on, it turned out that the plough structure in the early years of the Tang Dynasty was very large, and it was necessary to have two ploughing oxen to pull it.

Li Chengqian remembered that the history books of the previous life talked about the quyuan plow, but unfortunately he only looked at the drawings and could not restore them at all, but this did not affect his pointing to carpenters to improve the plough.

Under his guidance, the carpenters of the East Palace soon improved the plough wheel to everyone's satisfaction, and as long as two people pulled it, more than 20 acres of land could be ploughed in a day.

As for whether it is a Quyuan plough that has been improved by him, only the ghost knows, anyway, he doesn't have the ability to travel back and check the pictures in the history books of the year.

Just when everyone was shocked that Li Chengqian's casting speed was too fast, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "It's time to eat." ”

Then I saw the craftsmen who were casting or polishing, half of them finished their work and went to eat, while the other half automatically gathered to do what had to be done while the steel plate was hot, and put the rest down.

"The steelmaking furnace is non-stop, and they can only replace their meals." Li Chengqian explained to Li Shimin.

"Oh!" Li Shimin was not much interested in hearing this.

"It's almost noon, so my father will have some lunch here, and after noon let them load the new ploughs, and my father will see how they plough the land and then go back." Li Chengqian told Li Shimin about the itinerary for the afternoon.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, and saw that although he spoke calmly, he was still a little nervous, sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you!" ”

Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this, and then said loudly to everyone: "It's noon, and the East Palace has prepared a simple light meal for you, I wonder if you would like to make do here?"

Those who are close to him have already heard the conversation between him and Li Shimin, so naturally they will not object.

"Follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

……

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Chengqian said loudly: "Today's spring is bright, and you will be with King Gu, basking in the sun while tasting steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables made in the East Palace. ”

As he spoke, he went out first, and led the people to a place of expansion.

The food delivered in the East Palace Dining Workshop is already ready, just waiting for someone to eat.

Li Chengqian found a clean place to sit cross-legged on the ground, and Li Shimin also sat cross-legged when he saw it.

After a while, Li Zhi led Li Xiang and Li Ju over, and Li Shimin saw that Li Ke's brothers were hesitating to come over, so he beckoned them to come over.

The other officials saw their family sitting together, and they didn't move forward without being summoned, and immediately followed the guidance of the attendants of the East Palace to find someone they knew to sit together and chat.

The attendants of the East Palace sat down, held the packed meals on trays, and sent them one by one from near and far, and charged four copper plates for each copy according to Li Chengqian's request.

When the officials heard that they wanted money, they all felt strange, but when they thought that the other party was the prince of the dynasty, everyone could afford only four copper plates and didn't say much, so they took out what they carried, and some even paid for the people next to them, anyway, everyone didn't care.

"Would you like to give you four copper plates too?" Li Shimin looked at the two steamed buns, one meat, two vegetables and a bowl of soup on the pallet, and Li Chengqian asked for four copper plates and didn't fight in one place.

Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this: "The father's son pays for it." ”

"Can you be a crown prince and be more generous, don't do such a shameful thing!" Li Shimin's voice is not small, he really can't stand Li Chengqian's calculations.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he directly explained the facts to Li Shimin: "Father Emperor Donggong is going to repair books this year, and he will soon recruit people, so it will cost money, right?"

These nearly 100,000 victims need food and clothing, and seeds to reclaim wasteland, which one does not cost money?

Aren't you saving a little bit of success?"

Li Shimin's face softened a little when he heard this, and he picked up the steamed buns on the tray and said while eating: "Cheng Qian, if you lack anything, just go to the inner mansion to get it, I have already made a decree that you can take the property in the inner mansion, and no one can stop it." ”

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The inner mansion is used by the ministers, but the inner mansion must also have property!" ”

Li Shimin thought about it and wanted to know the truth about what Li Chengqian said, so he said, "The inner government has no money, so you go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find it." ”

"The retainers obey." As a matter of fact, Li Chengqian wanted to say that the accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were chaotic and were being audited.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke while eating and said, "Li Ke, Li Su, when will you go back?"

Hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly put down the tray in his hand and said respectfully: "Returning to my father, the emperor's sons, and the sixth brother want to train in the East Palace for a while and learn more things with the eldest brother." ”

Li Shimin was noncommittal when he heard this, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and said, "How does Chengqian arrange it?"

"Yi'erchen's intention is to call back several younger brothers, train and study in the East Palace for a period of time, and then set up an assessment, if you can pass the test well, you can naturally be entrusted with important tasks.

They are all too young now, and the people around them are in charge of everything without their father, and most of these people are villains, relying on their power to make fortune, and the notoriety is borne by the younger brothers and the royal family.

There are also narrow-minded people like Quan Wanji who make trouble every day for his reputation, and if one day he goes out of line, his father will regret it. Li Chengqian remembered that Li You, who was far away in Qizhou, was about to turn around, so he had to get vaccinated in advance.

Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's words and thought seriously for a long time and said: "But after all, they are my sons, and they should also make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty." Besides, if they all stay in Chang'an City, in case they have thoughts that they shouldn't have......"

Li Chengqian said very confidently: "Although the younger brothers are all sons of their father, they are also virtuous and foolish, and it may not be possible to force them to make meritorious contributions.

In Chang'an City, as long as the father and son are united, the world is naturally peaceful, and if the father is really not at ease, he can let them all go to Jiucheng Palace to live. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while and said, "The third and sixth will follow you first, and the others will think about it again." ”

Li Ke and Li Su hurriedly thanked them when they heard this.

After Li Shimin finished eating, he put down the dinner plate and looked up to see Linghu Dedi sitting there alone in the distance, so he said to the waiter beside him: "Arrange for someone to send him home." ”

Li Chengqian saw what he wanted to say, but was glared at by Li Shimin.

"Cheng Qian, Ling Hu Dedi is just a bit old-fashioned, although he is dissatisfied with you, but he has no ability to be unfavorable to you, killing him will not benefit you at all, letting him go is beneficial to your reputation, let him go back, I will let him resign."

What else can Li Chengqian say?

In the afternoon, under the curious eyes of Li Shimin and hundreds of civil and military officials, 50 ploughs improved by Li Chengqian were carried into the wasteland to be reclaimed.

Soon the curious eyes of the officials turned into astonishment, for they saw that each new plough only needed three people, one person to support the plough, and two to pull the plow, and they could plough the ground, and their steps were brisk, and it was obvious that it was easy to pull the plow in this way.

It's the first time I've seen this easy plow, can you not be surprised?

"Plough the land like this, how can the three of them plow twenty acres of land in a day, right?" Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Yes, in this way, a person will wait for ten a day to turn over six or seven acres of land!" The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed, and suddenly he saw Li Chengqian also looking at it with great interest.

Then he took two steps to Li Chengqian's side and said, "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sell these ploughs?"

Li Chengqian didn't look back when he heard this: "These plows are not for sale!" ”

"Cheng Qian!" Li Shimin said unhappily.

Li Chengqian turned around and said to Li Shimin seriously: "Father, these plows are all built for these disaster victims, and they are allowed to reclaim these millions of acres of wasteland. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at the large wasteland in front of him, imagining that this place was about to become fertile land, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be like this!" The eldest grandson Wuji said excitedly when he heard this.

"Huh?"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked back at him at the same time.

At lunchtime, the eldest grandson Wuji also learned that he couldn't find a short-term job in this year's spring ploughing, and at this time, under Li Shimin's gaze, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Now the fertile land in Guanzhong is uncultivated, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked him to reclaim wasteland here." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can know that the yield of newly cultivated land is much lower than that of cooked land, so that not only will not increase grain production, but will reduce grain production. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he said unceremoniously: "Uncle's words are not right, these people were all about to die of cold and starvation when they came, where do they have any fertile land?"

"They don't have good land, but they can rent other people's good land, or they can help others farm, in short, they don't reclaim wasteland now, but they also have good land to cultivate." The eldest grandson Wuji is determined to be authentic.

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "Uncle really thinks that King Gu doesn't know their origins?

Most of these victims are destitute people, they farm for the big families in Guanzhong every year, but they blast the big families out of their homes and leave them to fend for themselves every winter when the farmers are slack.

In this way, the big households in Guanzhong have made money, but what about these people?

As there are more and more such people, they will gather on the top of the mountain to become bandits and thieves, and when the time comes, the imperial court will send troops to suppress them. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin was furious when he heard this.

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Chengqian say that these victims were all driven out by big families, he was also angry, and scolded to death those big families who were rich and unkind.

Hearing Li Shimin's anger again, he was even more ashamed and ashamed, and lowered his head and muttered: "This, the minister doesn't know." ”

In the final analysis, the eldest grandson Wuji is extremely rich and noble, and he still takes the affairs of the court seriously.

"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted angrily and said to Li Chengqian: "Let these people open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and I will exempt them from taxes for three years." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled and said: "Father, there are at least four or five million acres of wasteland here, it is better to recruit more landless farmers to come here to cultivate, although the father and emperor exempt them from paying taxes for three years, but the grain they beat still has to be sold in Guanzhong......"

"Accurate!" Li Shimin was very refreshing.

Li Chengqian sneered in his heart, when the lonely king attracts some landless peasants again, the tenant rent in Guanzhong should also be reduced, right?
