As soon as the year passed, Yizhou resumed operation, Li Su was also busy, he still had a lot of things to do, especially the scientific research institute, he asked Yang Suxin in terms of technical information, basically in place, this is obviously not a difficult thing to do, it is easy to collect some old science and technology in the twenty-first world, the difficulty is to find people in the Tang Dynasty who can turn things on the drawings into real items.
And after some thought, this person Li Yu decided to try Tong Nian's son who only knows how to be tricky - Tong Yu.
Tong Nian left Yizhou after the Shangyuan Festival, that is, on the fifteenth day of the middle month, his task has been completed, in the upper reaches of the Nanhe, a shipyard belonging to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has now begun to operate normally, and the living area of the Nanhe workshop, many top craftsmen in Yizhou have settled in, waiting for the work that may come at any time, and some craftsmen are already busy, such as carpenters, papermakers, etc.
Tong Yu has been in a state of idleness since he came to Yizhou, wandering around all day long, this day Jin Daqian suddenly informed the King of Shu to see him, so that he was a little surprised, he thought that the King of Shu had forgotten him.
Li Su is at the Nanhe Wharf at this time, and the focus of his current work is this workshop base, as for government affairs, let Shangguan Yi handle it, after all, he is not proficient in everything, and interfering at will will only make it more and more chaotic.
"Grass people... See Your Highness! Tong Yu rode a horse and galloped all the way, and he was still a little out of breath when he spoke.
Li Su glanced at him and said, "No courtesy, your father said that you don't want to study, but just study some strange tricks, I want to ask, what kind of tricks and tricks do you know?" ”
"This ......" Tong Yu's face was embarrassed, he thought that Li Yu would arrange some things for him to do, but he didn't expect to ask this, although he did like to delve into some strange things, but he understood that this was a thing that could not be put on the table without learning and no skills, "Back to His Royal Highness, the grass people also make some wooden gadgets on weekdays, such as wooden boxes that can blow the wind, and wooden wheels that can lift water. But it didn't work out, oh, the drawings drawn by the grass people are still on me, please look at them Your Highness. ”
After Tong Yu finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Su, "This is what you painted?" Li Xuan glanced at the things on the drawing, he almost thought that this Tong Nian was also a traveler, and the things on the drawing were almost the same as today's bicycles.
"Yes, it's just that the grass people haven't succeeded in making zuò for three years, because there is no way to connect the front and rear wheels to rotate." Tong Yu was a little regretful.
Li Yu couldn't help but glance at Tong Yu a few more times, he really didn't expect that the talent was in front of him, he had such an idea now.
Li Su returned the design to him, "You are Tong Nian's son, and you should also understand that the Sheng Tang Chamber of Commerce has a lot of strange things, so this king does not look down on the so-called strange tricks like everyone else, on the contrary, this king thinks that these tricks and tricks can also improve the lives of the people." ”
"Your Highness, do you think so too?" Tong Yu looked excited, as if she had found a confidant.
Li Su stood up, his hands behind his back, facing a pool of river water, "I came to you for this matter, this king is going to establish a research institute!" ”
"Research Institute?" Tong Yu didn't understand the meaning of this word, and looked at Li Yu suspiciously.
Li Su explained: "In fact, it is a place to gather some people who like strange tricks and tricks like you to study tricks and tricks together, but this king calls this kind of tricks and tricks science and technology. ”
Tong Yu didn't understand the obscure word science and technology, but he understood the previous words, and he said, "Then what does Your Highness need to ask Tong Yu to do?" ”
"This king wants you to be in charge of finding this kind of person to form a research institute and study some science and technology at the same time." Li Su said slowly.
Tong Yu said excitedly: "Your Highness, Tong Yu is willing to be responsible for the establishment of the research institute. ”
For scientific madmen, there is nothing more attractive to them than this kind of place, Tong Yu's cousin is also in his expectation, he said: "But this king's ugly words are ahead, once you enter the research institute, you can't go if you want to, so you must make it clear to them when you recruit those people, this king doesn't want to have a few more white bones in the wilderness at that time, of course, as long as you enter the research institute, from now on the food and drink will be provided by the Shu Wangfu, and you can also receive a high monthly salary, so you can have no worries about food and clothing." ”
After Li Yu's words were finished, Tong Yu's expression changed several times, and he said, "Yes, Your Highness, Tong Yu remembers." ”
"Without further ado, you can start preparing for this matter, just ask Jin Daqian for money and the like." Li Yu waved his hand and signaled that Tong Yu could leave.
Tong Yu bowed and bowed again and slowly retreated, this was the second time he and Li Su had met, but he felt that Li Su at this time was a little heavier than the majesty that belonged to the prince compared to years ago.
After Tong Yu left, Li Yu sat down and looked at the lake floating with broken ice alone, now he has become more and more accustomed to the identity of the prince, and he is more and more like to think about the next life with the identity of the prince, people's thoughts will continue to change with the changes in the things and the environment in contact, he used to always live with the thinking of a current otaku, and later a qiē proved that this was just a mistake, he was almost killed by a small conspiracy is an example, and then he changed his strategy and exiled himself to Yizhou, At this time, he had already woken up, and during the hunt a few years ago, Qin Huaiyu's unintentional words completely woke him up - people have no intention of harming tigers, and tigers have the intention of eating people's hearts.
He has been thinking about this sentence these days before and after the Chinese New Year, and his heart has also changed imperceptibly in the process of thinking, this is a cruel feudal dynasty, whether you are a little fart or a high-ranking prince, the negligence of a word may lose his head at any time, and for a prince like him, the end of his life means the end of his real life, and any prince of the eldest grandson will be wiped out by the Yang family when he ascends the throne, which is not tight is the inevitability of history, but also the inevitability of the struggle within the royal family, And this inevitability also makes Li Su have no choice at all, and can only face the choice of life or death.
And for Li Su, there is only one answer to this multiple-choice question, that is, life, and it is a happy life, thinking of this, Li Su clenched his fists tightly, before the enemy can hurt him, he must make himself so strong that he cannot be shaken by anyone.
Tong Yu returned to the house and began to write a letter, as the saying goes, things gather people in groups, Tong Yu's friends are naturally a group of like-minded people with him, he described in detail in the letter that Li Yu built a better future for him, and tried his best to persuade friends to Yizhou, and Li Yu also cooperated with Tong Yu, and Shangguan Yi introduced a new measure to improve the status of Yizhou craftsmen and merchants, encourage skilled craftsmen Ming Chuang, and promised that if the beneficial Chuangzi Ming was adopted, he could also go to the Shu Wangfu to receive a large amount of bounty.
In addition to Yizhou, Li Su also asked the Shengtang Business Daily to spread the news of Yizhou's recruitment of skilled craftsmen to recruit talents throughout Datang.
Li Su's series of actions were blatant, but they did not cause any waves, all because the status of industry and commerce was the lowest in the Tang Dynasty, and no one would care too much about this kind of lowly thing, but if he recruited scholars like this, it would be different, and it would definitely provoke criticism from the Manchu Dynasty.
A prince wantonly recruited skilled craftsmen, which made the craftsmen who got the news and people like Tong Yu began to pour into Yizhou in large numbers, and Tong Yu and Li Yu were also very busy, busy going to its dross to extract its essence, leaving some people who do have real skills to the research institute, and the rest of the available ones were assigned to the workshop base, and all the swaggering and deception were all taken away.
While busy with the research institute, Li Su began to inspect the winter wheat planted last year, under the care of thousands of slaves and maids, the wheat growth of 20,000 acres of land is gratifying, looking like a green ocean from a distance, the breeze blows through the layers of green waves, and it is delightful to see.
Shangguan Yi and other officials also inspected the wheat field with Li Su, accompanied by Wei Tieniu, Li Su just wanted these people to see, it would not be wrong to follow him, and Wei Tieniu is intestines were all repentant, at that time they also laughed at Li Su for planting wheat in the winter, and now that it is the harvest season, they are all dumbfounded.
"Wei Tieniu, you believe it now!" Along the way, Wei Tieniu's mouth has never closed, he has been planting for so long, when has he ever seen such a pleasing crop.
"Your Highness, they are all iron bull's eyes, and I will definitely plant them this winter." Wei Tieniu said with red eyes, while the other officials smiled silently.
Li Su smiled: "You don't have to wait until this winter, after the weather is warm, this king has a lot of seeds and seedlings transported from other regions, these things are worth much more than wheat when planted, do you dare to plant them?" ”
"Dare!" Wei Tieniu grew wise and said categorically.
Li Su nodded, looking at the county orders of each county, "You all have tasks this year, each county will prepare 10,000 acres of land as a sample field, and these fields will be planted with things from other regions, as for what to plant, then wait for the distribution of Shangguan Assassin History." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" The county magistrate said.
After letting the Yizhou officials and the accompanying people see the winter wheat, Li Su and Jin Daqian walked aside from everyone, and Li Su asked: "I think about it, how much new land is there in the Shu Wangfu this year?" ”
Jin Daqian said: "This winter, the slaves and servants and official slaves have cultivated more than 40,000 mu of land, and the old slaves have purchased more than 30,000 mu of land from some officials and nobles who sell their land, adding up, the palace now has 100,000 mu of land. ”
"Oh."
The reason why Li Su asked these was to plan what to plant, many and few crops, and he had to think about it carefully, there were too many things to plant.
