Chapter 203: Zhenguan Plough

Li Shimin was also quite surprised to hear Li Shen say that this was not his property, so he asked suspiciously:

"Do the villagers still have the money to open a grocery store?"

"Aye, the proprietor of this grocery store was originally the steward of my workshop, and his monthly salary was two cents, and the year-end reward was almost thirty dollars a year.

Later, when I was asked what kind of small business I could use the money for, I asked him to open a grocery store in the village. Now it's his mother-in-law who is looking after the shop, and he still works at my place. ”

"Oh? Can you still give meat to someone else to eat? Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with suspicion

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin with an embarrassed face, "Aye, I'm a good person!" In fact, Li Shen felt that this bit of meat was too little.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ji is a good master, and King Ji encourages the villagers to make a living to subsidize their families in their spare time. If there is no money, King Ji will lend him the capital, and several of our Zhuangzi will go out to run business. Zhang Da hurriedly confirmed that what Li Shen said was true.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, it's not good to encourage business, but after business, you are a lowly status, you are pushing the people into the fire pit." Wang Weiqu seized the opportunity.

"This noble man can't say that, His Royal Highness King Ji is kind-hearted, the people are poor, as long as they can live a good life, eat meat every day, and don't care if they are cheap. Even if we are not merchants, the nobles still look down on us as farmers. Zhang Da unceremoniously replied to those who dared to speak ill of Li Shen.

Li Shimin nodded and walked out of the grocery store, Li Shen led everyone to the entrance of the village on the other side, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, Li Shimin vaguely heard the sound of reading loudly.

Li Shimin stopped to listen carefully and found that it came from a large mansion not far ahead.

"Where is that?" Li Shimin pointed to the house

"Back to Aye, it's a school"

Li Shimin didn't speak, but walked directly towards the school, walking into the gate This is different from other schools, Li Shimin saw that there is a large field in the center, similar to the school field.

There are two rows of teaching houses, and people can be seen faintly, Li Shimin quietly approached a classroom, and in front of him was a teacher Yu holding a book to teach the children below.

Li Shimin walked a few more churches, but the age of the children was different.

"How many children do you have here studying?" Li Shimin turned around and asked Li Shen.

Li Shen looked dazed, and looked back at Zhang Da, he was the village chief who should know.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are almost more than 600 children, most of them are from two villages, and some are children of the workshop." Zhang Da replied, there are 500 households in Huangzhuang, and there are more than 500 children in a family, not to mention more than one. But the big size is small.

"So much?" Li Xiaogong was surprised by the side,

"More in a few days." Zhang Da replied

Fang Xuanling, who was on the side, asked curiously after hearing this, "Why is this?" ”

"The prince added another 800 food eups, and now it is in the statistics. It's the village over there, I heard that they are all the guards of the palace.

These days, the king's treasurer has already begun to measure the land in the back and prepare to build a church house. The children here don't spend money on reading and take care of food, and anyone who has a child is willing to send it over.

However, only the prince's food has this benefit, and the people in the other villages are envious. The other villages all want to marry the girl, and in the past few years, we have dozens of families in Dahuangzhuang. Zhang Da explained proudly

"Your Majesty, King Ji is good!" Fang Xuanling also praised

More than 600 children study for free and take care of food, which is not a small cost this year. Coupled with the salary of teaching Yu, you give less literati who are willing to come to your place to teach. It doesn't mean that you can be a teacher if you can read words, you must be a person who reads poetry and books to be qualified.

"Hmmm! I knew all of this before, but I didn't expect there to be so many people. Seeing Huangzhuang, I was very relieved" Li Shimin smiled happily.

This tenth son does give him a long face sometimes! And he is kind-hearted, but he is a little greedy for money and regards money as his life. This also gave Li Shimin a headache.

"This is what should be done," Li Shen pretended to be shy and modest

"King Ji is really rich" The originally harmonious scene was ruined by a sudden exclamation.

When everyone heard the voice, they all wanted to see who said such a sentence so inappropriately, but when everyone looked over, they were silent again.

The words of this terrible scenery really came from the hob meat Cheng biting gold, and he was still beside him without knowing it, pointing and judging with Yu Chi Jingde.

Li Shimin walked out of the school with a black face. It was supposed to be a touching scene of father's love and son's filial piety, but this old man's words were distracted.

Then Li Shen took Li Shimin out of the imperial village and came to his own field. At this time, there were many people working in the fields.

"Aya, you see, they are now using a new type of plow, I named it Zhenguan plow, which saves time, effort and speed. Otherwise, I'll have to hire people from other villages to farm. Li Shen pointed to the people working in the fields

"Look at it faster, go over and have a look"

Li Shimin still had to take a closer look, and when he walked to the edge of the field, everyone found that the farmers were indeed using different plows from the ones they had seen.

Li Shen asked people to compare the plough they had used before

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to give it a try." The one who spoke was Ma Zhou, who was a scholar, Ma Zhou was a legend, and Grandpa Mao commented that Zhuge Liang was not as good as Ma Zhou. It can be seen how talented Ma Zhou is.

And Ma Zhou was born in a poor family since he was a child, and of course cultivating land is not a problem.

"Okay, then Aiqing will try the difference."

Li Shen arranged for two plows to be attached to oxen, and then Ma Zhou first used the previous plow to plough a few hundred meters. I came back and ploughed a few hundred meters with a Zhenguan plow.

After coming back, he said to Li Shimin with an excited expression: "Your Majesty, this Zhenguan plow is indeed labor-saving and fast." If it is promoted throughout the country, this matter is the time for spring ploughing, and it can be used. ”

Li Shimin was itching when he saw Ma Zhou like this. Also go down and try it yourself. Li Shen had no choice but to follow, his father went to work in the field, and his son didn't look good on the side.

Li Shimin had a lot of fun and ploughed an acre of land by himself. After coming back, his face was not red or panting, and he was a little out of breath when he saw Li Shen walking with him.

"Very good, it really saves a lot of effort. This is definitely a weapon for the people to open up wasteland. But isn't there something wrong with the name of this plow?" Li Shimin liked it in his heart, but he still had to be reserved on his face.

"Your Majesty, this plow was created by His Royal Highness King Ji, and of course the name was decided by King Ji. And this plough was created in Zhenguan, which should be called Zhenguan plow. "The eldest grandson Wuji came out very appropriately and said.

"Hey, okay then, then call it Zhenguan plow" Li Shimin gladly accepted. Which emperor doesn't want to leave a name for eternity.

Then he continued, "You Aiqing will return to the palace with me to discuss how to quickly promote it. You will also go back to the palace with me. The last words were addressed to Li Shen.

"Aye, I'm not feeling well, so I'm not going, right?" Li Shencai was reluctant to participate. Wouldn't it be nice to have time to go back and play?

"Bastard, let you participate in government politics, every time you have many excuses. You can't share the worries of the court. "Li Shimin hates iron and can't become steel.

"You take the Aye samples, and the drawings are also given to you. You just have to ask the Ministry of Engineering to do it. I don't know anything about promotion. Oops, my stomach hurts, it's too late to pull" After speaking, he waved to a few maids and guards in the distance, turned around and ran.
