Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Sir, why don't you take a closer look?"

Ma Zhou was in a hurry, he wrote so hard, how could it be mediocre.

"I said average, so it's average. How about it, I'll give you another topic!"

Li Yi'an thought for a while, then continued: "Let's write a new political article on the topic of anti-feudalization and establishment of prefectures and counties. Do you think it can be written?"

"Anti-enfeoffment, establish counties?"

Ma Zhou thought about it for a while: "Sir, you can't just write about this kind of topic."

The political system, the foundation of the country, should be discussed by those high officials in the imperial court. Ma Zhou was a poor scholar without any official position. If he wrote an article discussing the political system and sent it up, no one would dare to recommend it for him.

"I asked you to oppose enfeoffment, but not to support enfeoffment. You won't die."

Li Yi'an waved his hand and said: "Forget it, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, if you dare not write, I will help you write."

After a while, Ma Zhou spread all the things on the table and was also in charge of grinding the ink.

Li Yi'an picked up the brush, wet the ink, hesitated for a moment, and wrote "Feudalism" in three large characters.

His handwriting is of course very good. This is not the first time Ma Zhou has seen it. It is painted with silver hooks on iron, which looks pleasing to the eye.

After pausing for a moment, he continued to write: The world has never had its beginning?I don't know it.Does life have a beginning?I don't know it...the feudalists, even the ancient sage kings Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu, can't get rid of them.Gai Fei does not want to go, it is inevitable...

This is later Liu Zongyuan's "On Feudalism", which is a comprehensive analysis of the enfeoffment system, demonstrating the benefits of the prefecture and county system, and confirming the historical necessity of prefectures and counties replacing enfeoffment.

When Li Yi'an was writing, of course there were some changes. After all, Liu Zongyuan's separatism of feudal towns was a matter of the middle Tang Dynasty. Some words and sentences were not suitable for this era, so they were all changed.

At the beginning, Ma Zhou didn't feel anything, but the more he looked down, the bigger his eyes widened, and his breathing became short of breath.

When will Mr.'s articles be written so well.

Is there anything that Mr. doesn't know?

The moment Li Yi'an stopped writing, he quickly picked up "On Feudalism" and read it again and again seriously. Every time he read it again, he felt deeper and his inner shock was deeper.

"Sir, did you really write this?" Ma Zhou asked anxiously.

"Nonsense, didn't you see what I wrote with your own eyes?"

Li Yi'an traveled through such a long time, and it was the first time to write such a long speech. It was the first time that he wrote so many words with a brush, and his hands were sore. He continued: "Quickly copy a copy, and then read it carefully. Send it up for you, and your becoming an official will be almost done."

Ma Zhou scratched his head and said, "Sir, is this really okay?"

Li Yi'an said: "What's wrong? If you don't tell me, I won't tell. Who knows? Do you still want to be an official?"

To be an official in the imperial court, to be made a marquis and to be a prime minister, but Ma Zhou's lifelong wish was that his talents were not met, and his talents could not be put to practical use. After listening to Li Yi'an's words, he hesitated for a long time, decided to go all out, picked up a pen and paper, and copied.

-

the next day.

The Imperial City, behind the Taiji Palace, in the West Inner Garden.

It is not difficult to build a Quyuanli, the drawings are drawn in detail, and it can be completed in one night.

Li Shimin was in the West Neiyuan, looking at the curved shaft plow brought by Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it was really light and compact. Install a coulter disc that can rotate freely.

Except for Li Shimin, Pei Ju, Du Ruhui and others all gathered in the West Inner Garden, looking at Qu Yuanli.

"Sir, this thing doesn't seem to be very good. The plowshare is too small. Can it really plow the land?"

"Although it is small, one person and one ox can operate it, but it is too small. I am afraid that the plowshare will not eat deep enough soil, and the plowed ground will not be deep enough to meet the requirements for sowing. No matter how light it is, it is useless. !"

"Sir, I'm afraid I missed it this time? I don't think this curved plow is very useful. If it is used to plow the ground, it can only scrape off the surface soil."

They watched Qu Yuanli, compared with their own cognition, they talked a lot, and most of them expressed disbelief.

Pei Ju was so old, so he leaned over to look at it for a while, and sighed in disappointment.

"That gentleman, who can divination and fortune-telling, understands military and political strategy, and can make weapons, is already very powerful!"

Pei Ju shook his head with some disappointment: "After all, there is no one who is really omnipotent and can do everything. Even if Mister misses, it is normal. Even so, Mister is also a rare talent in our Great Tang."

After hearing Pei Ju's pertinent words, the others nodded in agreement.

It is still Pei Gong who analyzed it better.

The husband's performance is amazing enough, if he is a little more amazing, he will have nothing to do with himself in the future.

"Your Majesty, we don't see anything, why don't we try it first?" Du Ruhui suggested.

"Success, let's try it in the West Inner Garden, but in order to prove who is more effective, Zhang Liang, you can find another Zhiyuanli."

Hearing what they said, Li Shimin felt uncertain, and the only way to tell the good from the bad was to try it out.

Zhang Liang immediately went down to prepare, and soon brought a straight shaft plow and three oxen, and asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to fasten the plow to the oxen.

After a while, the two plows began to plow the field under the pull of the ox.

However, the difference between the two plows can be distinguished immediately.

The straight shaft plow is cumbersome to operate and requires two oxen to pull it together. The speed is really slow, but there is indeed a lot of soil dug out, which is a deep layer.

However, when the plow has reached the end, the plow has to be untied, the ox turned around, and reloaded, which is a complete waste of time.

The Quyuan plow is completely different. The plow disc can be turned flexibly, and it only needs to be turned slightly to complete the U-turn.

This speed, as well as the ease of operation, surprised them.

"That curved plow plows the ground quickly, but you see, it doesn't dig up much soil, and the depth of the soil is not deep enough, so it is useless."

The person who spoke was called Gao Shilian, and he was Changsun Wuji's uncle, that is, Changsun Sheng's brother-in-law. Of course, he had heard of that gentleman, and he also knew about the assassin.

Therefore, Gao Shilian was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Yi'an's behavior of letting the assassin go privately, and he just had a chance to ridicule him.

What's more, Quyuanli's plowshare is very small, and it seems that there is not much soil turned out, which is obvious to all.

Zhang Liang got a hint from Li Shimin's eyes and went to measure it himself.

"Your Majesty, the upturned soil is not shallow, it is three inches deep!"

Although Zhang Liang supervised the construction, he hadn't studied the benefits of the Quyuanli, so he said excitedly and loudly: "The plowshare of this Quyuanli is also very special. When the plowshare is lifted, it will penetrate shallow into the soil, and if it is lowered, it will go deep. , the depth can be adjusted independently, and the deepest can reach more than three inches, which fully meets the requirements of sowing!"

"how is this possible!"

Gao Shilian was immediately dumbfounded!
