……
If Li Anran disappeared with the grain before, it also made the ancients led by Li Shimin have reservations. After receiving the following contention, saying that someone had not only returned, but also brought the news of the behemoth, and rushed to the scene as soon as possible to see it for believing, the previous reservation was almost completely wiped out.
There is no way, if it is said that the disappearance of the predecessors and the cultivation of grain, it can also be said that it is pushed to the extent that there are arrangements in advance, but then the huge two "wooden oxen and horses" appeared in an instant in this open space that has been completely surrounded by a large number of guards and secret spies, unless everyone has been bribed and betrayed, how can it be done.
In Li Anran's opinion, if even these guards around him have been bought, then there is no need for the other party to do so many things. At that time, he only needs to put some poison in the food, and Tang Taizong, who has not been in office for a long time, can easily return to the underworld.
As for the slightest stubborn suspicion of what is the most stubborn, it is not actually because he does not believe in the miracle he has seen in front of him. On the contrary, it is precisely because of belief that there is an instinctive feeling of vigilance and fear in my heart. At this time, it is more appropriate to suspect someone's identity than to suspect the purpose of someone's appearance.
"This ...... These are all grains that were sent to the upper realm before? "Looking at the open containers, there are layers of sacks stacked neatly together. Even if he is the king of a country, Li Shimin is a little dumbfounded.
"Uh...... Saint, as I said before, these crops are brought from the lower realm to the upper realm for improvement. After improvement, the number will naturally be more, of course, if there are too many saints, you can also take less. Looking at the other party with round eyes, Li Anran said with a smile.
"What? You mean I can take all this food? Originally, it was just a wonder how those grains had become so much in a blink of an eye, and Li Shimin grasped the meaning of what he said just now. Asked.
"yes. Didn't the eldest grandson Shangshu say that he wanted me to improve these grains so that the local people could grow and eat themselves, could it be that the Holy One had other intentions? Li Anran, who deliberately pretended not to see what the other party was surprised by. Said innocently.
"Uh......" Li Shimin, who didn't know what to say for a while. Pointing to another container truck, he decisively asked, "Is this also a grain growing in it?" ”
"This one isn't. It is filled with two kinds of machinery that have a great effect on the prosperity of Datang. Walking to the side of another container truck, Li Anran, who patted the wall of the outer box, said with a smile.
"Oh? I wonder what these two machines are? "Originally, I thought it would be a high-yield grain similar to potatoes. After realizing that he had guessed wrong, Li Shimin asked with interest.
"There are spinning machines and looms, each of which is divided into two different models, manual and hydraulic." Li Anran, who opened the back door of the container, pointed to the boxes placed inside and introduced.
"Spinning machines and looms? This is also based on what already exists? With the previous explanation of the potato, Li Shimin guessed very smartly.
"That's right, but the two I brought are stronger than the original ones in terms of both yield and quality." Speaking of this, Li Anran deliberately sighed and said: "It's a pity that you can't get more power generation magic weapons, otherwise, you can use a larger model." At that time, the spinning machine could spin hundreds of spindles of yarn at a time, and the loom could weave a staggering amount of cloth in a day. ”
To Li Anran's surprise, after he sighed and then introduced the efficiency of this deliberately selected ancient spinning machine and loom, Li Shimin's reaction was far less enthusiastic than expected.
After asking, I learned that cotton cloth has appeared in the Tang Dynasty or even earlier. But this kind of Dongdong, called white stacked cloth, is still a high-end fabric at this time, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it at all.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's reaction is so cold. At the same time, he expressed doubts about someone's statement that these two machines are important to the revitalization of Datang: "I really can't see that this kind of thing will be so important to Datang." ”
For this omission of his own, Li Anran did not have the slightest nervousness. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hehe...... Don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. ”
"Oh? Then I'll hear you finish first. Looking at the other party's expression, Li Shimin, whose first reaction was whether he guessed wrong, hurriedly said.
"Actually, this cotton cloth, oh, that is, the white folded cloth, is not as precious as the Holy One thought. Cotton, a raw material for weaving, can be grown in many areas. Under normal circumstances, each mu of cotton field can produce about seven or eight hundred catties of cotton, that is, six to seven stones, and if it can be brought to the upper realm for improvement, this yield can be at least doubled. ”
"Once cotton is popularized throughout Datang, and combined with these two kinds of machinery, when the time comes, in the entire Datang territory, although I dare not say that everyone can dress warmly, at least the lives of the people will be greatly improved." In order to make up for his negligence, Li Anran began to do science popularization work.
can sit in the position of the king of a country, except for a few strange people, there is no one in history who is stupid.
After someone's explanation, Li Shimin, who quickly calculated the account in his heart, found that his previous opinion was really problematic, and immediately nodded and said: "The yield per mu is six or seven stones, and if it is doubled, it will be twelve to thirteen stones." And there are many places that can be planted? In this way, these two types of machinery are really important. ”
At this time, Li Anran, who still needs time to promote cotton and cotton cloth, said with a smile: "Regarding the seeds of cotton, I will solve it, but the planting method needs to be promoted by the saint." When the time comes, my spinning machine and loom will come into use. However, in addition to these two spinning machines and looms, it can be turned into a spinning machine and a loom with only minor modifications, which can be regarded as somewhat useful. ”
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he knew that the market of Datang silk was quite large. To some extent, this thing can replace copper coins as a kind of currency in the market, which is an absolute hard currency. So he asked, "Are these spinning machines and looms as good as the spinning machines and looms?" ”
"This is natural, but although this machine is easy to use, it still needs to train corresponding talents. The most important thing is that although my machine is really beneficial to the world in general, it will inevitably have some impact at the beginning, and some people may not like it. Li Anran, who patted the container, smiled and poured cold water.
"Huh?" As the king of a country, Li Shimin, and he ascended to the throne by that means, naturally he will not be a fool. It only took a moment of silence to understand the impact of the initial promotion of this kind of machine in that sentence, and what some people were referring to. So he said, "What does the real person think?" ”
"I think this kind of thing, just like the promotion of potatoes, peanuts and other crops, can't be rushed, as the saying goes, you can't become a fat man by eating one bite. You can find some suitable places and people to try first, on the one hand, you can give the people a time to accept and adapt, and on the other hand, you can also use this to train more skilled people. Li Anran said eloquently.
"Good! There is some truth in what a real person said. In this case, don't bother the two masters, let's go back to the next fold. It was only a little weigh-in to understand the benefits of this first attempt, and Li Shimin said with a smile.
Knowing that the other party wants to use himself as a minister, and even as long as this fold is on the line, the other party is very likely to arrange another official position for Li Anran, but he doesn't want to enter the system of the Tang Dynasty. Because once you enter, you are no longer the worldly master who can transcend things, but become a brick that can be moved wherever you need it!
Li Anran, who had gained a lot when he entered the time before, would put a "shackle" on himself when he was stupid. Therefore, he smiled apologetically at the moment and said, "Holy Lord, I won't go on this excerpt, and I will write a document on this aspect like the previous training secrets." Also, the previous observer, I also plan to return it, and I have forgotten about the Holy Perfection. (To be continued......)
