"Impossible? Why is it impossible? A certain also asked the eldest grandson Sikong to give advice. Li Ke arched his hand and said with a sneer.

"These ministers of the dynasty are all people who have followed His Majesty to make great contributions, and it is natural to reward the title, but these craftsmen are just ordinary workers, how can they get this honor?" The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath and tied up the courtiers first.

"Then I'll ask for advice, may I ask, if there is an ordinary person who saves my father's life by a coincidence one day, then this person can only give some money? In other words, my father's life is not as good as a knighthood? Li Ke asked rhetorically.

Li Shimin: "...... believe it or not, Lao Tzu will beat you in front of the courtiers."

"Your Highness should not be reasonable, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can Your Majesty talk about these things on the same day, Your Highness is also asking for these craftsmen, not these special circumstances." The eldest grandson Wuji is not fooled by this.

"Good! Then let's not talk about my father, let's talk about the rest, Su Guogong Cheng bites gold. Li Ke pointed to Cheng Biting Jin next to him.

Cheng Yanjin, who was leaning on the chair and watching Li Ke's eldest grandson Wuji, was immediately stunned, what does this matter to me?

"He has successively defeated Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and has made a lot of military achievements, so he has been sealed as the Duke of the Kingdom, do you deserve this credit?" Li Ke asked.

"Naturally, you deserve it!" Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said very simply.

"Excellent! I have a craftsman under my name, improved the ploughshare commonly used by farmers, I named it Quyuan plough, which can improve farming efficiency and save animal power, and the ploughing ox that usually ploughs one acre of land and has to rest can now cultivate three acres of land! In addition, the deeper the land is cultivated, which means that there is less chance of food damage, and the next year can greatly increase production. ”

"Taking the data of Zhenguan eight years as an example, the number of households is about 3 million, the population is about 15 million, and the average household 100 acres of land is about 300 million mu. But the reason for limiting the number of fields granted is that one family cannot grow more fields! ”

"With the use of the curved plough, the amount of land cultivated by each household can be at least doubled, or 200 acres, taking into account the need for other work." Li Ke's number is not nonsense, one acre of land in Datang is 540 square meters, and 200 acres is converted into 162 acres in modern times, and Li Ke remembers that he was at his grandfather's house when he was a child in his last life, because his hometown is in the Inner Mongolia Loop, where the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Therefore, there is more arable land per capita, and his parents and two people planted more than 50 acres of land, and they were busy, and he didn't have any machinery when he was a child, and he relied on mules for farming, and he also had to plant a lot of cash crops, and he was very busy in summer. And in this era, he mainly grows grain, but he is not as busy as he was when he was a child.

The average family in Datang is five people, and the five people here refer to strong labor, and children are not counted, because children will continue to divide the family and continue to divide the fields when they become adults.

So 162 acres of land are definitely planted.

"This means that Datang has 300 million mu more cultivated land, and last year, Datang's average yield per mu was between one stone and half to two stones, which is calculated according to the smallest land, that is to say, 300 million mu is enough for Datang to have 450 million more stone of grain! Do you know any concepts?! ”

This means that in the second year of Zhenguan and the third year of Zhenguan, just relying on a few extra grains from the Dao that has not been affected by the disaster, it is enough to relieve the victims of the disaster in the world! This means that if there is such a weapon in the Wude period, Datang can support more troops to garrison the border, and the Weishui Alliance will not happen. This means that if there is a time in the Wude period, there will be more food in the world than the people in Zhenguan for two or three years, even if they suffer disasters, they don't have to leave their hometowns, and they can survive with food alone! ”

"This also means that Tuyuhun dared to make a mistake a few years ago, when Datang had enough food to kill Murong Fuyun, without marrying the princess, and not waiting until last winter!"

This means that just this one craftsman lives billions of people! He has made meritorious deeds, and the Duke of Su Guo may not dare to compare with him, so is he enough to be knighted? Li Ke asked lightly.

The court was silent.

The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a while! In this era, some things are not mentioned on the surface, and many reputations have been silently fished away by the family gatekeeper, and some people who have contributed have no chance to speak out at all!

Of course, Li Ke also secretly changed the concept, because even if it was the invention of the Quyuan plow, it would not be possible for Datang to popularize it within a year, at least seven or eight years, because Datang's iron-making technology was not so developed, and the plow needed iron, and it was iron not steel, so it was easy to be damaged, and it also needed to be repaired by a blacksmith.

What's more, Datang also needs iron tools to build armor and weapons, and iron tools are very tight, and even fewer can be used for people's livelihood.

"Is that true?!" Li Shimin spoke, he was just stunned by the data in Li Ke's mouth, and he didn't react for a while.

"Erchen doesn't dare to say half a lie, this Quyuan plough can be tested in person!" The Quyuan plough in Li Ke's hand is not historical, but the Quyuan plough after countless improvements in later generations, which is more advanced and has better effects.

"Erchen hasn't finished his words yet." Li Ke continued, "There are still a few craftsmen under the name of Erchen, and they have improved papermaking and printing, so that a newspaper like Datang Weekly can be reduced to 12 texts, that is to say, books like thousand-character texts, counting the cost of binding, etc., with better paper, 15 texts can definitely be bought!" ”

"Then, Datang's books can popularize the world, so that all the people in the world can read and write, if Datang opens up the imperial examination system and allows poor scholars to also participate in the imperial examination, it means that Datang will have millions of readers, and millions of readers will be selected among the best, and the selected talents can make Datang expand its territory and conquer the world!!"

"Excuse me, is a craftsman who can create millions of scholars worthy of a knighthood?" Li Ke asked again.

The court was silent.

And Li Ke's words have already shocked everyone, but if he doesn't say it, it doesn't matter, but if he says it, no one dares to refute it, such a thing, the family gate valve definitely doesn't want it to happen to him, but if Li Ke picks it out, if he publicizes this matter, who would dare to stop it? !

"The world is surging! Millions of people who read means tens of millions of people, the power of tens of millions of people, they want to read, they want to get ahead, just ask, who wants to stop it? Who dares to stop it?! Li Ke asked with a smile again.

Surprise!

All the ministers were shocked into a cold sweat, densely packed.

Don't use the world, millions of people in Chang'an, if you know the news, hundreds of thousands of people ask for their lives, who would dare to stop it?! Whoever stands in the way will die!

There are some things that cannot be clarified, and if they are clarified, it means that there is no solution.

"Excuse me, eldest grandson Sikong, is such a craftsman worthy of being knighted?" Li Ke asked softly.

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, these words ...... Can't pick it up! I didn't dare to pick it up, mainly because he could say no? You say one to try.

Hahahaha! Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top seat, wanted to laugh three times at this moment! Refreshing!
