Li Ke held the Quyuan plow in his hand, recalling in his heart the experience of helping the plow. Then he swung the whip forward, and the two horses pulling the plough began to move.

Watching Li Ke holding the Quyuan plow, he walked forward lightly. The plough shovel was firmly inserted into the dirt and turned it up from the ground. Then pass through the plough wall and push the upturned soil to the left and right.

Soon Li Ke drove the horse pulling the plough back to the starting point. After stopping the horses, Li Ke said with a smile: "It seems that this king's design is quite effective. ”

At this time, the onlookers were already dumbfounded. Because Li Ke's speed is simply too fast, if it continues like this, it is estimated that in less than half an hour, one acre of land will be cultivated.

And looking at Li Ke's appearance, it seems that he didn't make much effort at all. This surprised everyone even more.

So a peasant stood up, saluted Li Ke in a proper manner, and said, "Lord Wang, can you let the grass people give it a try?" ”

"Give it a try, after all, you're the ones who really have the right to speak. Only if you find the plough useful, is it really useful. Li Ke nodded and said.

The peasant first asked Li Ke to carry his luggage, and then excitedly came to Qu Yuan Li. After looking at the Quyuan plow, he began to plough the ground with the help of the Quyuan plow according to Li Ke's appearance.

Soon the farmer was back to square one. After he stopped the horse, he came to Li Ke with a shocked face.

knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Ke in a proper manner. Then he said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Wang, if the villagers have this quyuan plow, the speed of ploughing will not be much improved." ”

"I don't know how many people will benefit from this quyuan plough made by the prince. This is the credit of thousands of generations. ”

Although these people are all cultivated for Li Ke, they are not just from Thousand Buddha Mountain. Others were farmers hired by Guo Wang elsewhere in Qizhou.

After all, thousands of acres of land are in front of them, and those people in Thousand Buddha Mountain are relied on to cultivate them. I don't know when or how long I want to plant? After all, the people of Qianfoshan also had their own land to cultivate.

Li Ke stretched out his hand to help the farmer up, and said with a smile on his face: "Why should the old man make this great gift, it is the honor of this king to be able to contribute to the people." ”

Kong Jingrou, who was standing aside at this time, was completely dumbfounded. He originally thought that Li Ke was playing tricks and trying every means to avoid labor.

I never thought that the Quyuan plough made by Li Ke really had such an effect. But in addition to shock, Kong Jingrou was more happy.

After all, Li Ke is his own father-in-law, and his father-in-law has made such good farm tools. Kong Jingrou will naturally be happy for her father-in-law.

At this time, Yue'er on the side asked: "Your Highness, this Quyuan plough is very fast to plough the land with horses, but the people don't have horses at home. I don't know what the effect of this curved plow is pulled by an ox? ”

"The difference between an ox and a horse is only speed, so using an ox to pull a zigzag plough is just as time-saving and labor-saving. But since you asked, let's try it on the spot. Li Ke said to Yue'er with a smile.

Then he ordered someone to bring an ox over, and heard that Li Ke wanted to try the plough with the ox. The farmer just now reported himself to be brave enough to lead the oxen.

In a short time the oxen were brought over and put on a zigzag plow. Then it was the same farmer who drove the oxen and began to plough the land.

Naturally, the speed of cattle is not as fast as that of horses, and the cultivation of land is naturally much slower. However, everyone could still see that the farmer did not use much effort when he was plowing the land.

It can even be said that it is to gently hold the Quyuan plow with his hand to prevent him from falling. All that's left is to follow along.

Just when everyone was happy, someone came to Li Ke's side. And said to Li Ke: "Lord Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered Qizhou City. ”

Li Ke didn't expect that Li Chengqian would come so quickly. It stands to reason that it is more than 2,000 miles from Chang'an City to Qizhou.

It takes at least 20 days to a month to reach Qizhou at a normal hurry. But he didn't expect Li Chengqian to complete more than 2,000 miles in just a dozen days.

From this, it can also be seen how anxious Li Chengqian is, for fear that Li Ke will report the truth of the matter to Li Shimin. That's why it's so day and night.

Now that Li Chengqian is here, according to etiquette, Li Ke naturally needs to greet him in person. So Li Ke said to Kong Jingrou: "It seems that we can't cultivate this land today." ”

"It is important to welcome the prince, and there is time to plough the land. In short, this acre of land will definitely be left to you. Kong Jingrou whispered to Li Ke.

This couldn't help but make Li Ke roll his eyes for a while, and then he was ready to pull Kong Jingrou to greet Li Chengqian.

But at this time, Wang Kai ran over in a panic. And panted and said, "Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come here." ”

Hearing Wang Kai's words, Li Ke couldn't help but be stunned. So he opened his mouth and asked Wang Kai, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here?" ”

"After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered Qizhou City, Lord Assassin Shi led the civil and military officials in Qizhou City to greet ......" Then Wang Kai told Li Ke in detail what happened.

It turned out that Li Chengqian arrived in Qizhou City and found that Li Ke did not come to greet him. Then he asked Wang Tianlai, the assassin of Qizhou, who came to greet him: "Why don't you see the third brother, hasn't the third brother's body recovered yet?" ”

After Wang Tianlai saluted Li Chengqian, he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the prince's body should be fine. After the lower officials heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, they sent someone to inform His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”

"It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Qi is not in the palace, but went to the farmland at the foot of Thousand Buddha Mountain. Xia Guan has already sent someone to inform His Royal Highness King Qi, and it is estimated that His Royal Highness King Qi will arrive soon. ”

Hearing Wang Tianlai's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing. And said to Wang Tian: "There is no need to be so troublesome, you send someone to inform the third brother." Hongu wanted to see how the third brother cultivated the land. ”

In this way, Li Chengqian led people to the fields at the foot of Thousand Buddha Mountain. And Wang Kai was ordered by his father Wang Tianlai to inform Li Ke.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Li Ke said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince's curiosity is really not small. Since he wants to see the king plough the land, then the king will plough it for him to see. ”

In fact, Li Chengqian's sudden arrival had already disrupted Li Ke's plan. Originally, Li Ke was going to pretend to be sick, but now it seems that it can't be done.

Since you can't pretend to be sick, you can only go with the flow. As for how to deal with those imperial doctors, you can only take one step at a time.
