Choking, Uncle Li's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and he dropped the teacup on the couch with his hand, and even the tea and water rolled off the edge of the couch, fell under the coal stove, and broke into pieces. Uncle Li stared at the glass statue that I held up high, which was probably not much smaller than the kettle, and opened his mouth to make a sound, but he made an abnormal tone, and Zhao Kun's eyes behind him almost widened.

When I placed this treasure on the floor and continued to pull out the beautiful glassware of various shapes and shapes from the box, the corners of Uncle Li's eyes were already standing.

One and a half meters long, about eighty centimeters wide large mirror, this is the most perfect one of the mirrors I have made, now, has been inlaid in the sandalwood frame, the back is painted with red paint, the whole large mirror will be Uncle Li's majestic image of the score is not bad, Uncle Li stood in front of the mirror at least a pillar of incense, kept squeezing his eyebrows, scratching his head, twisting left and right, that look, and Li Shu is not much different, but a middle-aged uncle who is nearly half a hundred years old does this, it really makes people feel very, well, Not very sightly.

"Damn, look, the old man's appearance is all illuminated clearly, even a strand of hair can be illuminated so clearly, the treasure, the absolute treasure of the fairy family!" Uncle Li's head almost hit the mirror, and he was very sad and ashamed of the performance of this monarch who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the monarch of the most powerful empire on the planet.

The exquisite and gorgeous glassware, Uncle Li's eyes were red, and the mirror was placed on the side of the wall by Uncle Li's four guards, and he glanced back from time to time, as if he was afraid that this immortal treasure would fly away by itself with wings.

"Virtuous son-in-law, where did you buy these things, I'm afraid this glass and silver mirror alone is not less than ten thousand dollars, right?" Uncle Li reluctantly retracted his gaze, and then smiled at me gently, very kind, nonsense, as soon as he made a move, it was tens of thousands, and it was strange that Uncle Li was not kind.

"I'm ashamed to say that these things are all from the hands of my son-in-law." I said shyly. Uncle Li almost collided his head with the coal stove, and after looking at me for a while, he stammered a little: "You mean, these things are made by you, the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

----------------------------------------------------, "Well, the son-in-law happened to be tested, so I am here to dedicate it to Your Majesty." If His Majesty likes it, what does it matter if the son-in-law sends more. "In any case, we have to set up the relationship first, and it is best for His Majesty Uncle Li, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to do the publicity.

Of course, I also told him, this is my poor child to do business, Uncle Li very kindly encouraged me to contribute more to the Tang Dynasty's taxes, in addition, Uncle Li gritted his teeth and transferred 50,000 yuan to me, as his investment, originally wanted to sternly refuse, but seeing Uncle Li's greedy fierce eyes, the threatening words that came out of his mouth openly and secretly, I, a young man, could only give in soft, and agreed to give Uncle Li 30% of the share capital, in fact, I laughed almost happy, It's a windfall. Originally, I had already made up my mind, and I wanted to give Uncle Li some benefits, after all, I had to export through him, the industrial and commercial channels of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so I wanted to resign the 50,000 yuan, but who thought that Uncle Li still thought that I didn't want to join forces with him, and I was very stubborn about taking money, so I couldn't say it.

After seeing Yingyun, Uncle Li was really happy: "Hahaha, okay, this is a family." "The old rascal's eyes are really poisonous enough, and at a glance you know that this thing can make a lot of money.

"But son-in-law, how did you get all this stuff done?" Uncle Li has a lot of questions, since this is the case, I can only honestly confess: "In fact, this is just that my son-in-law thinks that although my Datang telescope is good, it has not been able to produce it on a large scale, and its source is because of the limitation of raw materials." "I looked at Uncle Li and expressed my heart and blood for the country and the people very sincerely, in order to equip all my military reconnaissance systems in Datang with this reconnaissance weapon, after a number of practical tests and many specialized researches, and then it happened to make such a thing as glass.

"Look at this, this is the telescope made by my son-in-law with this glass, and the clarity of this thing is definitely much higher than the crystal lens used in the past." I took out a pocket binoculars from my sleeve and handed it to Uncle Li.

In the past two years, thanks to Uncle Li's support, Fangfu's steamed wine has been sold at home and abroad, and even sold as far as Yangtong and Western Turks. Originally, the trading method of exchanging silk silk for horses adopted by Datang has also become wine and silk in exchange for horses, and five catties of high-grade steamed wine can even be exchanged for a good horse, and the top-grade steamed wine consumes only five catties of grain per catty, and ordinary steamed wine consumes only three catties of grain, but horses can be regarded as valuable items in Datang.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, restrictions on the use of horses were relatively strict, but in recent years, due to the victory in the war, extortion of the defeated has been carried out many times; And after several years of trade dumping of ethnic minorities, the number of Datang military horses has surged, even reaching a terrifying 1.2 million horses, and it is still soaring.

The cost of raising horses is much higher than raising cattle, and Uncle Li even wants to reduce the number of military horses, but before pacifying Liaodong, I once mentioned to Zhong Hua the method of using horses to cultivate dry fields, and boasted to him that horses plough dry fields at least four times faster than cattle, and I don't know when this wind spread to Uncle Li's ears, so not long after pacifying Liaodong and returning to Chang'an, Uncle Li brought me to be strictly interrogated, and I could only tell everything about it like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

At this point, I finally understood. It turns out that Uncle Li is eager to turn the fertile land of Liaodi into fertile land, this goal is very ambitious, but it seems a little unrealistic, the most important thing is that the people in Liaodong are scarce, and the land is small, so that the cultivation limit of each person is very limited. It's wrong, it should be the limit of cattle ploughing, a cow can only plow ten to fifteen acres at most during the sowing period, and it's good to have cattle, but Liaodong belongs to the newly developed land, where can there be so many cattle to plough the fields? Cattle ploughing the field is not something you want him to plow, a cow is afraid that it will not be taught for two or three years before it can be regarded as a so-called cooked cattle, which is really a headache for Uncle Li, but the horse ploughing I proposed gives Uncle Li a new idea, because there are too many domesticated horses in Datang now.

---------------------------------------------------- fact, there was a precedent for using horses to farm in the Han Dynasty in China, but it could not be spread in China, and there were two main reasons for this, one is the population, our China's cultivated land situation is in a situation of more people and less land, and it is impossible to implement a large-scale plantation economy, and the land that Western farmers can plant is far greater than that of China. China, on the other hand, is still a family-based agricultural producer. When it comes to raising livestock, it is clear that horses cost more than cattle. And horse farming is also faster than cattle farming. In large-scale farming and small-scale farming, the benefits and costs of horse farming and cattle farming are completely different.

In addition, there is another point, that is, the horse is the head of the six animals, its significance is self-evident, in the political society dominated by northern China, more for war and political reasons, so, the horse is a weapon of war, which makes it more difficult for the horse to enter the homes of the majority of the people, however, due to the rapid increase in the number of horses in our Tang Dynasty so that Uncle Li and the court are very caught off guard, at this time Uncle Li has begun to consider the way to ensure the quality and quantity of the country's horses. Moreover, there are at least 100,000 wounded horses in the army that need to be retired, and such a huge number has given Uncle Li a headache for a long time, so after hearing the news I said, Uncle Li began to have the idea of developing the use of horse farming in Liaodong to replace ox farming.

So, Uncle Li ordered the Ministry of Industry to develop newer, more reasonable harnesses, and carried out a trial ploughing in the Huangzhuang near Chang'an, and in order to improve the grip of the horse's hooves, I redesigned the horseshoe, so that it is more than the usual horseshoe a few bulging nails, these nails can not be beaten by the ancient method, must be stamped with stamping equipment, that is, through the hydraulic stamping technology of Datang, in this way, the benefits of this kind of stud horseshoe are obvious, so that the horse can work in the mud.

In the same way, the old craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry remade the harness used in ancient times, and then designed the same kind of horse-drawn plough that I remember seeing on television.

Just a few years ago, in a royal village of Uncle Li outside Chang'an, Uncle Li saw the majesty of horse ploughing on the dry field, here I cheated, and adopted the technique of two horse yokes, but in this way, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the wind and electric brake, and the same use of two cattle on the side to plow, but the efficiency can be described as miserable, Uncle Li and an official of the Ministry of Labor were also frightened by this competition, the most important thing is that everyone was standing on the horse-drawn plough by a man who knows how to farm work, I was frightened by the speed at which I drove two horses through the fields.
