Chapter 47 Touching the Dust (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection, 3,000 Words Offered)
"It turned out to be Mr. Bo Shi and Mr. Fang Qiao," Li Shimin said with a smile. It turned out that the short one was Yu Shinan, and the tall one was Fang Xuanling, and the two of them gave Li Shimin a ceremony after Fang Xuanling smiled and said to Hu Zhongchun: "Mr. Hu has profound knowledge, this cocoon car was available in the Warring States Period, and Zhao Guo created and invented the three-legged cocoon during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which can be sown a hectare of land a day, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once ordered to promote it throughout the country, and there are also records about the "Political Commentary" of Cui Wei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but how to make the old man has not been found in ancient books."
Yu Shinan took the hoe and didn't speak, just pointed to the small square seal of the wrong copper on the iron plate of the hoe, put down the hoe and went to Li Shimin's study to take out the ink block and a piece of paper, and rubbed the words in the small square seal with the help of Fang Xuanling.
After reading the rubbing, the two looked at each other, and Yu Shinan handed the paper to Li Shimin. "There is more than a memory", Li Shimin read it and asked Yu Shinan: "Bo Shi is everyone in calligraphy, how is this word?" Yu Shinan pondered for a while and said: "The font has never been seen, the words are like soldiers in array, heroic and upright", Fang Xuanling continued Yu Shinan's words and said: "The words of this person must be a noble person, but these words are engraved on the new farm tools, indicating that this person is closely related to farm tools, has great knowledge and attaches great importance to agriculture, who is this character?" ”。
After listening to these people's opinions on farm tools, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and did not speak, and slowly thought about it in his heart, the person who invented this farm tool dared to use some things made of 100 steel, there are only two possibilities: First, he didn't know that this thing was 100 steel, so he dared to use this thing as a farm tool, which was unlikely. Second, this person knows how to make 100 steels at the cheapest price, and can sell them for money after making farm tools, and the second possibility is the greatest. If this is the case, the person who can make these farm tools, can practice 100 steel, and can also write a font that is praised by Old Master Yu is definitely a great talent.
After figuring it out, he turned to Duan Zhixuan and asked, "General Duan, where did you find these farm tools?" Duan Zhixuan replied: "Your Highness, there are hundreds of acres of land for me in Yushan County, and I found it from my cousin when I went to visit my aunt this time, and I heard him say that I bought it in a shop of a boss who used to sell cloth in Yushan County."
Li Shimin asked strangely: "How could this cloth seller sell this new iron farm tool?" Duan Zhixuan shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this general, and I didn't ask when I came in a hurry."
I saw Li Shimin's sister say: "Second brother, no matter what, these farm tools are definitely a good thing, you have the opportunity to bring these to your father in the afternoon to tell him the good news", in the afternoon Li Shimin asked people to put these farm tools into the carriage and walk towards the palace.
When he arrived at Xuanwu Gate, he reported to the guards guarding the door, and Huang Menlang turned around to report it. Looking at the closed palace gate, Li Shimin smiled bitterly, once upon a time, after Taiyuan raised troops, when the father and son entered the palace, he had used a notification. But since the Liu Wenjing incident, his own son has to report when he enters the door, and after half an hour, Huang Menlang opened the palace door, and Li Shimin walked towards the palace with a carriage.
Li Yuan sat on the edge of the Taiye Pool, the warm spring light in the afternoon sprinkled on his body and sunburned all over his body, the willow branches by the lake spit green, and the two beauties around him hugged him left and right. One of the concubines wore fiery red clothes with Li Yuan's favor, the neckline was embroidered with a butterfly pattern with gold thread, the skirt was embroidered with a golden auspicious cloud pattern, and a phoenix hairpin was obliquely inserted on the half of the bun on the head, and a pearl was in the phoenix's mouth.
When he was in a daze and wanted to sleep, the chamberlain walked in and said that His Royal Highness asked to see him, Li Yuan's brows were furrowed, as a father, he knew very well what his second son was, and his own child Wen Taowu was all superior, but he was too ambitious, thinking of this, he waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to bring him in.
When Li Yuan was thinking about it, he found that Li Shimin walked in with a carriage and pulled a bunch of things, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What does Erlang want to give to his father?" Li Shimin bowed to Li Yuan and said: "The son has a new farm tool to be dedicated to his father today, these farm tools are of great benefit to the world's agriculture and mulberry, and the child has the courage to ask his father to promote the county farm tools of the emperor, one can increase the grain production of my Tang Dynasty without the risk of famine, and the other is to let the people of Li remember the kindness of their father." After Li Yuan heard what Li Shimin said, he just said to Li Shimin with a faint sigh: "What do I think Erlang sent over?" It turns out that they are all broken farm tools used by the Li people, and these things used by the subordinates don't look at it, and besides, the father just performed the pro-ploughing ceremony a few days ago, so let the Li people solve the matter of these farm tools themselves."
Li Shimin was stunned, he thought that his father would be happy after seeing these farm tools, but he didn't expect Li Yuan's reaction to the world's agricultural mulberry related to the country's capital to be so cold, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. So he bowed his head and said to Li Yuan again: "Erchen has the courage to ask my father to promote these agricultural tools for the benefit of the world." Li Yuan said a little angrily: "No need, these farm tools are not worth seeing, you can step down." Li Shimin lowered his head, gritted his teeth, said "No", and led the carriage slowly towards the outside of the palace.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the palace, I looked up and saw two teams of people and horses outside the palace gate, and the two horses in the lead were very powerful. A young man a few years older than Li Shimin sat on the white horse, who was a little similar to Li Shimin, and was also imposing, wearing a yellow gown; Another group of cyan people sitting on the horse were a little thin, their eyebrows were a little raised, their faces were slightly pale due to some excessive wine, and their eye bubbles were a little puffy, but there was a violent look in their eyes, it turned out that the two were Li Yuan's eldest son, Prince Jiancheng, and his third son, Yuanji.
Li Shimin arched his hand after seeing Li Jiancheng and stepped aside, Li Jiancheng rode on the horse and smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, what is the matter with you leading the carriage to find your father?" Li Shimin smiled and replied: "Big brother, I am going to dedicate these farm tools to my father, but his old man didn't look at these things, and I am ready to go back."
Li Jiancheng didn't speak on the horse, but Li Yuanji, a thin man next to him, snatched the words and said: "Second brother, you don't give these broken wood and rotten iron tools to your father, you still have the face to give your father some useless things from the countryside, and you have been extra kind to you without punishing you, you see what I gave to my father." As he spoke, he took out a bag from the bag behind the horse, opened the bag and saw a box made of three-inch square glass, the box was inlaid with various gemstones, agate and the like, Li Yuanji put the box away after showing off and said: "This is the seven-treasure glass box I prepared for my father, and it also contains the precious spices brought from the Western Regions, which can be compared to your broken copper and iron", and snorted contemptuously in his nose after speaking.
Li Jiancheng turned around and said to Li Yuanji: "The third brother is talking nonsense, no matter what kind of farm tools the second brother brings, it is beneficial to the farmers of the world!" Why do you say that it is broken, and besides, you should be polite to the second brother." Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Wuji kick Li Jiancheng immediately and said, "Big brother, let's go quickly, ignore him, my father urged me to ask for this box two days ago."
Stimulated, the horse raised its legs forward, and the group slowly walked towards the imperial city. Out of the palace gate, Li Shimin looked at the closed gate and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, his brother and brother were getting farther and farther away from him, and after looking at it for a while, he sighed and went home with his own people.
Returning to the palace to unload the farm tools, Li Shimin stood in the middle of the courtyard and patted the farm tools with his hands, let out a long breath, and stood silently with his hands folded in front of his chest. "Erlang, are you being blamed by your father again?" The gentle voice came from behind, and a woman appeared behind Li Shimin, this woman was half a head lower than Li Shimin, with a light red half-arm robe sleeve top, an emerald green smoke gauze skirt underneath, and a few bright red peonies embroidered on the skirt. Covered with a pink silk tulle jacket, the sleeves are outlined with auspicious cloud patterns. Lingyun bun on the head, a tail phoenix hairpin hooks out dignified, looking at the face, but there is a three-point beard appearance between the eyes of the Qiong nose and the phoenix, a pair of charming Danfeng eyes but revealing sharp eyes, the creamy skin is looming with a smile, and the crimson flower mark between the eyebrows adds to the charming posture, this woman is born charming but not demonic, glamorous but not vulgar, where to stand looking at Li Shimin with a smile.
Li Shimin turned around and sighed, and said: "Guanyin, I thought that I would dedicate these new farm tools to my father, but I didn't think that my father's heart would no longer have the world's people, and my father was no longer the high-spirited and calm father of the world. Tomorrow I am going to hand over these farm tools to Dasi Nong privately, so that they can spread the world, so that the people of the world can collect a few more loads of grain and suffer less hunger."
The eldest grandson said softly to Li Shimin: "Erlang can't, it's not that these farm tools are not easy to use, but once they are sent to Dasi Nong to promote, the people of the world will remember your kindness, so you are more likely to be jealous of your father and the crown prince and the king of Qi, originally your father was wary of you, once they unite to attack you, you will be more avoidable, although you are concerned about the world, but now it is better to be patient, and if these farm tools are really effective, the people will definitely find a way to promote, just slower." I think if you really have the time, you should send someone to find the master who made these farm tools and wrote this new font for your own use."
After listening to the eldest grandson's words, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses, patted the eldest grandson's hand and said, "Thanks to you as a good wife in the house, it is indeed a bit reckless to think that I did that just now."
