The Quyuan plough came out more than 100 years in advance, and its appearance is a sign of the maturity of ancient farming tools.

The curved plow is very flexible to use, saves manpower and animal power, and because of the strong flexibility of the curved plow, the work efficiency of cultivation is greatly improved.

The operation of the curved plough is flexible, turning the soil and ploughing the land, which improves the utilization rate of the land, which helps farmers to cultivate intensively, thereby increasing the yield of crops.

From a technical point of view, the design of the curved plough is more advanced, nearly 2000 years ahead of Europe, and it is the most advanced agricultural tool for human cultivation at that time.

Economically speaking, the design of the Tang Dynasty Quyuan plough is more economical and affordable, and ordinary people can buy and use it, and the overall economy is good, which is convenient for universal promotion and utilization.

After listening to Li Jing's introduction to Qu Yuanli, Hubu Shangshu's eyes lit up!

With this curved plow, more labor and animal power can be saved, and the extra manpower and animal power can be used to reclaim new fields.

With so much food, wouldn't it be possible to feed more people, and when there are more people, let these people cultivate the fields, and then there will be more fields.

You must know that with the current technology of Datang, there are still many places that have not been developed!

For example, the southern region, the northwest region, and the three northeastern provinces outside the Guan, most of these places have not yet been developed, and they are also places where the imperial court degrades officials and exiles sinners!

The areas developed in the south are still limited to the banks of the Yangtze River, and most of the southern parts of the Yangtze River, such as Yunnan-Guizhou, Lingnan, and Fujian-Tai, are still in a state of barbarism, and are still the places where the imperial court exiles sinners.

Now that manpower is saved, it is time to consider developing these wild lands and turning them into fertile land for Datang!

"Sage, with potatoes and Quyuan plows, this is really the gospel of my Tang Dynasty, if you can save a lot of manpower, the imperial court can send people to Lingnan and other places to open up wasteland and fields, so as to strengthen my Tang Dynasty!"

Tobe Shangshu made a suggestion to Li Jing.

"What Aiqing said is exactly what I mean, I also think so, but I didn't expect Aiqing and my thoughts to coincide! Aiqing thinks how to open up the wasteland? ”

Li Jing asked Hubu Shangshu if there was any good plan and how to implement it!

Wasteland reclamation is not a mouth, it can be solved by just horning, and it requires manpower, material resources, etc., all of which need to be calculated!

To make sure nothing goes wrong, or to minimize risk, you need to plan carefully before you can put it into action!

Especially in some wild places, full of smoke and miasma, there are not a few pet beasts, these problems are not solved, how can it be possible to open up the wasteland!

Staffing, etc., and even measures or something, must be considered in advance, and a complete plan must be made before the land is cleared.

"This, the minister didn't think about it for a while, but if he really wants to go to these places to open up wasteland, the minister suggests letting the prisoner and the son-in-law go."

Hubu Shangshu suggested that the people of Datang had a limited population, so let them go to these places, if something happened.

If you don't adapt to the water and soil, even if one person dies, it is equivalent to one less laborer, and as for the prisoner and the son-in-law, these people will die when they die, and there is no need to feel distressed at all.

For Datang, it can not only clear the excess population, but if it can be successfully cleared, it will be even better, and it can add a lot of food to Datang.

In short, with prisoners, there is nothing to lose if they fail, and if they succeed, they can increase a lot of income for Datang, this kind of business that does not lose money is worth doing.

"You're right, it's worth a try, and let those who commit serious crimes across the country be sentenced to at least five years or more, and those who have been sentenced to exile, and let them all go to those undeveloped areas to carry out reclamation operations!"

"The imperial court can provide them with agricultural tools, livestock, seeds, etc., and in order to ensure their personal safety, the imperial court should send troops to ensure their safety."

"And promised that they would be pardoned for their sins if they wished, and that all the fields that had been cultivated would be for them to cultivate and use for generations to come."

Li Jing gave a standard, the prisoner's crime should not be too light, most of these people did not commit anything, and after they went back, as long as they changed their minds, they could still continue to live.

Those criminals with serious circumstances are the best candidates, let them be reformed through labor, and let them stay there after they have cleared the wasteland.

The food grown in the tuntian field is exempt from land rent for three years, and then the rent is paid for three and a half years.

All follow-up plans will be unfolded one by one when the fields are cleared!

In order to ensure that the fields that have been cleared out of the land will not be taken away by the local natives, and to allow them to keep their arm, they are free to organize their own troops.

In addition, in terms of animal power, not only ploughing cattle, but also donkeys and mules are provided to help them open up the land.

"The minister will definitely do what he will do, what about the specific regulations? Please show it to the saint!"

Hubu Shangshu nodded in agreement with Li Jing's statement, but he had a good idea of what standard should be implemented according to what standard.

"What exactly to do, after you go back, discuss it with the others, I give you three months, and I want to see the plan you have prepared."

Li Jing did not give a standard, there is no standard for this kind of thing at all, and it needs to be reasonably distributed according to different places.

What is suitable for the Northeast is not necessarily suitable for the Northwest, what is suitable for the Northwest is not necessarily suitable for the South, and what is suitable for the South is not necessarily suitable for the Northeast.

Therefore, it is necessary to make decisions according to local conditions and according to the local environment and other conditions, and this kind of thing cannot be done blindly.

Sometimes, there is no standard, but it is the biggest standard!

"Don't worry about the matter of clearing the wasteland now, take care of the current farming problem first."

Although Li Jing is very interested in land reclamation, the most important thing at the moment is farming.

If we do not hurry up, there is a high risk that there will be a shortage of grain production.

"The minister understands!"

Hubu Shangshu bowed and retreated, and Li Jing ordered someone to send the Quyuan plough and potato seeds to Hubu Shangshu, so that he could implement them to the ground as soon as possible.

When Hubu Shangshu returned, he immediately found craftsmen and began to build a quyuan plow, and at the same time, allocated 3,000 acres of fertile land to grow potatoes.

After sending away the Hubu Shangshu, Li Jing walked around the Royal Forest Garden, and felt really bored, so he planned to return to Daming Palace, and the song and dance were not much better than here!

Li Jing had just taken two steps before he bumped into a regular attendant who came in a hurry, and almost collided with Li Jing!

"Presumptuous! What a bold man, he dared to surprise the saint's drive, come and drag me down to Dali Temple for disposal!"

The waiter who followed Li Jing pointed at the waiter and scolded.

Li Jing waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't have to do anything, he Li Jing would not be unable to get along with a regular servant.
