Before dawn, Liu Ponu was urged to get up.

Looking at the starry night sky outside, Liu Ponu began to doubt his life a little.

This must have been the first time he'd gotten up so early since he crossed over, right?

After half-asleep and half-awake, he simply ate a mouthful of food, and Liu Ponu boarded the carriage with a strong sense of sleep.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Ponu vaguely heard someone arguing, and opened his eyes and asked outside the car.

"Young master, the time for this court meeting is coming soon, and they refuse to open the city gate......"

"People play by the rules, what's there to be noisy about? Why don't you just wait here for the opening time? "Liu Ponu didn't have a good airway.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, just wait here......" Liu Ponu put down the car link angrily, continued to find a comfortable position and fell asleep.

The defenders at the city gate looked at the lonely carriage in horror, and then at the Yulin army tightly surrounding the carriage, and tears were about to fall.

The ban on the city gate was issued by the imperial court, and the entire Han Dynasty, except for the emperor, could only open the door at any time when there was an emergency, and as long as the others missed the time, they could only obediently wait for the next time to open the door.

Even if he is the crown prince, he has to abide by this rule honestly, unless he has an order to leave the city from the emperor.

Of course, in order to prevent people from messing around with their identities, these defenders guarding the city are not without privileges.

Their commanders have the right to play directly to the emperor, that is to say, if anyone dares to bully others and force the defenders to open the door, this matter will definitely reach the emperor, and even he will not be able to save him at that time.

Therefore, almost all the second-generation magnates are honestly abiding by this rule, and no one dares to challenge the emperor's authority at will.

……

Weiyang Palace, the front hall!

Next month is the day of the Great Pilgrimage, but the scale of today's Pilgrimage is not much smaller than that of the first day of the year.

Inside and out, it was almost full of people, and even those princes, one by one, were all pulled over.

The crown prince led the way, leading several half-sized princes to stand at the front, followed by the three princes and nine ministers and other ministers.

For a large court meeting of this scale, even the largest front hall is not enough, so in addition to the main hall, even the square in front of the main hall is full of ministers.

The time had come, and Liu Che didn't let everyone wait too long.

It's just that after ascending the main hall, Liu Che was stunned for a moment.

"What about Liu Ponu?"

"Father, the son hasn't seen the broken slave, maybe something is delayed......" Liu Ji stepped forward to explain, and he was also a little anxious in his heart.

Although he was taught a lesson by Liu Ponu's kid two days ago, Liu Ju did not hold a grudge.

Although he also knew that today was Liu Ponu's home field, as an opponent, he should be happy to see Liu Ponu late.

But he just couldn't be happy, and even had a hint of worry.

"Hmph, then wait, I want to take a look, see if he has any big things to delay!" Liu Che's face was also a little unbearable, he was late for the first time in the court?

And being late to announce your identity?

What's the matter?

Are you trying to give the Manchu Dynasty a dismount?

Liu Ponu, who has always had a lot of forced numbers in his heart, why is there no forced count this time?

The Chang'an City Gate is slightly later than the palace gate, and this scale of the court meeting does not mean that the door will be opened when the time is up, and then everyone will go to their respective positions.

After entering, the officials of the Fengchang Mansion who preside over the ceremonies of the Zongmiao must first take a roll call, and then lead the different officials to the corresponding positions and wait.

After these things were done, most of the hours had passed, and it was almost time to open the city gates.

Liu Che waited for more than a quarter of an hour with the hundred officials, and Liu Ponu was late, and there was even a hint of sleepiness on his face.

Seeing Liu Ponu's appearance, Liu Che instantly became a little angry, looked at Fengchang and asked, "Didn't the officials of Fengchang Mansion tell him the time of going to court?" ”

"Under the avoidance, the minister did send someone to inform ......"

"Then why is he still late?" Liu Che stared at Feng Chang deadly.

"I don't blame him for this, everyone has said what should be said and what shouldn't be said, the reason why I was late today is because Chang'an City had not yet reached the time to open the city gate when I came." Liu Ponu stood up with a serious face.

Yavin

Although it is not a big deal to be blocked out of the city, it is a bit embarrassing to say it on such an occasion.

But the facts have been formed, this is the result that he can't change, in order not to lose face, Liu Ponu has no choice but to carry out some subtle artistic processing on the premise of ensuring that the whole thing is not distorted.

"Although after I revealed my identity and purpose, the soldiers defending the city said that they could be accommodating, but they needed to report it afterwards, but I refused!"

"Emperor Gaozu once said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that I am an idle official who has just stepped down from the county order? Even if I can enter the city on time with their accommodation, after all, I have violated the rules, and they may be punished. ”

"So I thought that I couldn't implicate them because of my fault, so I waited at the gate to open before I came in......"

Liu Che couldn't help but roll his eyes, Emperor Gaozu's coffin board was almost uncoverable, was that what Emperor Gaozu said? It's okay to force your face?

"Then why didn't you go into town early?" Liu Che asked angrily.

"No, I live less than a quarter away from the city gate, and I am a little reluctant to come to live in the city in advance at such a close distance, after all, it costs a lot of money to stay for one night......" Liu Ponu immediately showed a frugal attitude.

As soon as the ministers heard this, those who didn't know why instantly felt a pang of relief in their hearts.

Everyone had already received the rumors, and they also knew Liu Ponu's true identity.

Even why the emperor is doing this today, they have points in their hearts.

Although it was very hesitant and tangled.

But after seeing that Liu Ponu turned out to be a thrifty prince, his mood instantly improved, no matter how the crown prince fights, whether it is the crown prince or Liu Ponu, at least the two of them are not extravagant and wasteful people.

That's good, that's good......

Liu Che winked angrily at Liu Ponu, as if he was saying that it was almost over, I really thought I didn't know how much money you embezzled?

The money you embezzled is enough for me to support the entire court for two months, are you embarrassed to pretend to be frugal in front of me?

"I heard that you have ideas for promoting the Quyuan plough and water conservancy projects? Just take advantage of today's court meeting to say it, and let the ministers help to sum it up! Liu Che was lazy to quarrel with Liu Ponu, after all, the occasion was not right, and there was a lot of time to wait.

"No!" Liu Ponu put on a serious posture.

Many people also cheered up, but Liu Che just wanted to laugh in his heart, he knew that this thing was going to trick people again.

"Let's talk about the water conservancy project first, the cost is not high, but it requires a large number of carpenters, and the manufacture of the waterwheel is not troublesome, so I think the imperial court can order each county to send a thousand craftsmen to Lantian to learn manufacturing, according to past experience, almost a month is enough."

"This thing is not troublesome to manufacture, if the next construction schedule is tighter, before the summer of next year, the waterwheels of each county should be at least more than 30 percent, and the supporting canals can be planned by local governments, and the people are responsible for digging the canals in front of their own lands, and Li Zheng is responsible for organizing the connection of the canals between the village and the neighboring villages. At most, it will take a whole year next year to make waterwheels spread all over Dahan. Liu Ponu Balabala, said.

The reason why so many craftsmen are needed is that they want to do some work in the Jingzhao area by the way, so that when they stay for a month, the waterwheel used to practice can be spread throughout the Jingzhao area.

This can be regarded as some small benefits that Liu Ponu brought to the Jingzhao region.

"According to this year's harvest statistics in Lantian County, the average income of the county has increased by one to two percent compared with last year's harvest with the same farming method and water conservancy system."

"In the Zhuangzi outside my city, two different ways of farming are used: quyuan plough cultivation and fertilization."

"Among them, the land area cultivated by Quyuan plough is 13 hectares, and the average yield per mu is about 10% higher than the average yield of Lantian County!"

"With the use of new fertilization technology, Quyuan plough, and water conservancy system, the lowest yield of one mu is 20 percent higher than this year's harvest in Lantian County, and the highest yield of one mu is 30 percent higher."

"In other words, with this three-pronged approach to farming, the average yield is about four to fifty percent higher than in previous years!"

"It's just that the new fertilization technology is relatively limited, and it is difficult to meet all the needs of the land under the current conditions, so the current goal is mainly to water conservancy projects and Quyuan plows, at least to ensure that Dahan will use two to three years as much as possible to comprehensively increase the country's grain output by two to three percent."

"Of course, the fertilization technology will also be taught to people everywhere, and everyone can decide how to operate it according to their actual situation."

There is no need for Liu Ponu to say more about the previous words, everyone knows about the increase in production in Lantian County.

As for the Quyuan plow, everyone's current perception is that the use of lightweight, can greatly alleviate the dependence of cultivation on livestock, even if you can't wait for livestock, you can rely on manpower to do part of it first.

This is tantamount to a direct increase in the area of land that can be cultivated this year, which is equivalent to a direct increase in production.

Although everyone also knows that deep ploughing can increase yield, but I didn't expect that it would be so terrifying to increase yield, especially with the fertilization technology that Liu Ponu said, it can increase yield by four to fifty percent?

If that's the case......

'Hiss......'

Many people couldn't help but gasp, the horror of the special mother was simply.

"How do you want to promote it?" Seeing the shock of the ministers, Liu Che expressed his satisfaction and continued to cooperate with Liu Ponu to ask.

"The manufacturing cost of the new plough is very high, mainly using iron as part of the raw material, so the price is also a little high, considering the burden of the people, and considering the imperial court's eagerness to increase the output of various places and reduce the burden of the people, so my suggestion is that the imperial court come forward, and I am in charge of forming a royal workshop, the main purpose of this is to facilitate management, and we can concentrate resources as soon as possible in each state to quickly establish a workshop to build the Quyuan plow."

"And the advantage of this is that you can save a lot of money on long-distance transportation, which is equivalent to giving benefits to the people."

"And another advantage is that the workshop requires a lot of manpower, if it is recruited by the imperial court, it will inevitably affect the normal production, and even cause public anger, but it will not be recruited by the royal workshop, and then you only need to explain to them in advance that you can get money for your work, I think they will rush to come, after all, the workshop located in Lantian has proved that this step is feasible." Liu Ponu said unhurriedly.

Some people want to object, but everything Liu Ponu said can be verified by actual results.

What people have already done, why should you question it?

What do you question about it?

"In Kyushu, how much does it cost to build nine workshops at the same time? And how should this profit be calculated? How should the imperial court collect taxes? Liu Che's little ironcore Sang Hongyang immediately stood up and asked rhetorically.

"According to the experience of the Lantian Workshop, a workshop of similar scale will cost nearly one million dollars, and if eight more are built, it will be about the same as seven million dollars saved." Liu Ponu is very serious nonsense.

"As for the tax, I personally think that I don't want to collect it, it doesn't make any sense, I proposed it, and I did it, and the early investment is also mine, and the operator behind me is still me, so I can't take 30% of the profit, right?"

"Since it's in the name of the royal family, then sixty percent is not too much, right?"

"But I heard that the treasury is so empty that rats don't want to settle down, so I suggest that the Shaofu side take out 30% to subsidize the treasury."

"I see that the ministers work hard every day, working day and night for the people, and some people are even so poor that they can't even afford to eat meat, as for the remaining 10%, why don't you share it with everyone?"

Liu Che squinted slightly at Liu Ponu, and the cunning little guy finally showed his man-eating fangs.

Divide it to the ministers?

Do you think I'll believe it?

However, Liu Che still wanted to see what kind of medicine Liu Ponu was selling in this gourd, so he asked according to his meaning: "What is the division?" ”

"The financial pressure to build eight workshops at the same time is still quite large, even if it only needs eight million money, it is difficult for me and the Shaofu to get together, so it is better to let the interested ministers voluntarily subscribe to the share, and finally we will confirm the final share according to the proportion of each of their contributions, and only in this way is the fairest." Liu Ponu said shyly, as long as no one asked, he would never say that no matter how much the ministers calculated, the final share was the share of the one percent.

Of course, the more you come out, the more you can naturally squeeze out the more share of others, the prize pool is so big, you can toss it, anyway, I am sure to make a profit!

Don't get on the set?

No, there is a profession in this world called To, you know......
