"Your Highness, I don't know what kind of poems King Ji made." Lu Chengqing's favorite poetry asked unconsciously.

Li Tai glanced at them. Each curious. "I told you not to spread the word. This is taboo in the uterus. Seeing everyone nodding and singing: "The dream of tear-wet Luo Towel can't come true, and the front hall sings late at night." The red face was not old and the grace was broken first, and he sat in the smoke cage until Ming. Poor Hongyan always has a thin life, and he is the most ruthless emperor. ”

Several people tasted this poem, and it really said the life of the harem beauties.

"Now is not the time for you to feel emotional, I admit that he has some talent, but it has nothing to do with me. Now we have to solve the problem of how to promote harmony. Lu Dongzan was dissatisfied with everyone's performance.

"The plan now is to salvage our reputation. Let the people know that peace with Tibet is so that there will be no more wars, and we can also run a newspaper. Dozens of habitual losses every day we can bear. Wang Wei took out the way

"No way, you know that it takes at least half a month to print a newspaper just for engraving, and our paper cost is higher than his. I did the math. The cost of printing a newspaper costs us five or six cents. That's still the minimum budget. If the engraving is wasted, the cost is higher. Cui Renzhi denied Wang Wei's idea

"I think King Ji should have a new printing technology. But materials also cost money. Everyone couldn't understand why Li Shen lost money selling newspapers.

"I've read the whole newspaper. Tomorrow he can only be impeached for criticizing the government. When the time comes, all our ministers will ask His Majesty to order that no more newspapers will be sold. ”

"Okay, just do it. The family has sent a message. Try your best to transfer King Ji out of Chang'an. If he continues to do this. There may not be any more trouble in the future. Leaving Chang'an, we will have a way to clean him up. Lu Chengqing agreed

At this moment, Li Shen was also discussing things in the study of the palace

"Xuan Ce, tomorrow you arrange some more people, a team of five, and go to the south quickly."

"What is the prince doing in the south?" Wang Xuance asked puzzled

"Find something and tell them to go out of the border of the Tang Dynasty and go to the southernmost small countries. Let them do two things, the first is to inquire about the local crops. There is no rice that is three crops a year. Second, find food in a special multi-country. The sooner the better. ”

"Three crops a year. Lord, is there such a kind of rice? Wang Xuance was surprised.

"Of course there is, and probably in more than one place. Let them inquire and report back immediately. I will send messengers. Buy their grain and seeds. When we came back, we tried to grow it ourselves. Even if it's double-cooked.

In addition to rice, it is also necessary to pay attention to chestnut rice and the like. Tell them who found it. I'm rewarded. "The only thing Li Shen is thinking about now is how to increase grain production. First of all, the simplest is the rice with a short ripening period and three crops a year in the tropics. Although it is definitely not possible to get three crops in Chang'an. There should be two ripe crops.

Secondly, it can also be crossed with local rice. This requires experimentation. Because during this period, there were also many varieties of rice in our country. But Li Shen has a lot of land. The experimental fields are abundant. It's just that time is tight. But as long as there are enough seeds, plant them on a large area. It's not bad for the grain in his experimental field. When the time comes, it will be promoted to Jiangnan and other places.

Li Shen is so anxious to increase food because what Li Shen wants to do next is related to food.

"Don't worry, I will let them do it as soon as possible," Wang Xuance agreed

"Xuan Ce, we have too few people to do things now. Go gather some. It is better to be able to read and write. Or it's flexible. Adaptable to change. A little more for wages. You also know that there is too much money in the palace now. Not a good thing. What should be spent and what should not be spent must be spent. I just need someone who can do things. You know what. "Li Shen now feels that there are too few people in the palace to do things. Wang Xuance has long been asked to recruit people. But now there are still a dozen. The rest are non-staff personnel, who take money to do things.

"Yes, my lord. I'll recruit more people as soon as possible. However, the prince's palace is recruiting people so aggressively, I am afraid it will attract criticism. Wang Xuance was worried about attracting Li Shimin's suspicion, and he was also worried that the crown prince and the king of Wei would think that Li Shen was going to fight for the throne.

"It's okay, you can write me a note in a while, and say that there are too few people in the palace who go out to do errands. I want to recruit someone who can do things. That's probably what it means. Then let the stone be sent to the book province. ”

"Lord Wang, are you a conspiracy?"

"What kind of impotence, it's just brushing your face, oh, it's thick-skinned, do you understand." Li Shen not only did not feel ashamed, but was proud in front of Wang Xuance.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have left beforehand." Wang Xuance didn't look at Li Shen, who was self-conscious. In fact, he understood what Li Shen meant, since he couldn't sneak around, then fortunately it was above board.

"Cut, it's so boring." Li Shen saw that Wang Xuance could only give up if he didn't cooperate.

"That's right. Go to Huangzhuang. Li Shen suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't done.

If you want to increase food production, how can you not have agricultural tools. As someone who grew up in a small rural area, it was all too familiar with tools. The children of the post-80s generation in rural areas do not fall every year from planting to harvesting. Or maybe I'm really beaten. Therefore, Li Shen is very familiar with the plow used for cultivating land, and Li Shen used the Quyuan plow when he was a child, but it is an improved Quyuan plow.

Quyuan plough first appeared in the Jiangdong region in the late Tang Dynasty, also known as Jiangdong plough. Improvements were made in each subsequent dynasty.

Li Shen arrived at Huangzhuang and went straight to the workshop where the iron was struck.

"The prince is here. I've seen the prince. "The craftsman in the blacksmithing workshop is called Wang Yi, and the people in the village call him Wang Tietou.

"Iron Head, I'll make something, you and the other craftsmen will come and take a look." Li Shen said and handed the drawings that had already been drawn to Wang Tietou.

Wang Tietou beckoned the other craftsmen to look at it for a while. "Lord Wang, you seem to be a plow for ploughing. It's just not the same as what we're used to. Wang Tietou looked up and asked

"Yes, you can make one in this style, and see first. Remember to record every detail. It can be used when it is improved in the future. Li Shen said to Wang Tietou.

"Don't worry, lord. I promise to make it in two days. Wang Tietou patted his chest and agreed.

After finishing here, Li Shen went to the carpenter's workshop again. Today's carpenter workshop is in charge of Zhang Wang, the original manager of the house. A year ago, Zhang Wang was released from the palace because of his age, and Li Shen kept his promise to accept Zhang Wang. Let him be in charge of the carpentry of the palace. Now all of Li Shen's gift boxes and the like are made here.

"I've seen the prince, I don't know what the prince is doing this time." Zhang Wang was very enthusiastic when he saw Li Shen. In Li Shen, it is good to eat and live well. And Li Shen also arranged for him to have a godson to learn the craft from him. In the future, he will be provided for in his old age.

"Zhang Wang is good. It's full of red light. Looks like it's going well. ”

"It's all thanks to the king." Zhang Wang nodded and said

"Okay, look at this, and make it for me in two days." Li Shen took out another drawing of a curved plow

Zhang Wang looked at it for a while and said to Li Shen: "Yes, Lord Wang." I'll have someone deliver it to the house in two days. ”

"No, I'll be here in two days. It is inconvenient to experiment. "How much land is there in his house for him to cultivate? Besides, every place in the house is a scene that is difficult to arrange.

The reason why Li Shen chose to make wood is still worried that there is not enough iron, and if it is promoted to the whole country, the quantity will be huge. After everything was explained, Li Shen returned to the palace, and Wang Xuance reported to Datang Daily with a very good effect. So Li Shenjue's family can't do without action, just like Li Shimin said, he will definitely be impeached.

"Go and call the Cheng family."
