Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 320 Doting on Li Shimin
The people in the Ministry of Industry kept working day and night.

Quyuanli was put into use soon, and the news spread slowly in Chang'an City.

Nine princess mansion.

"His Royal Highness, I heard that Qin Tian has improved the plow and produced a curved plow, which can greatly improve the efficiency of plowing the land. Now the Holy One has ordered the Ministry of Industry to hurry up and put it into use."

A Fei told the news he had heard to the ninth princess again. After the ninth princess heard the news, she was a little shocked.

As a princess, she still knows some agricultural things. The Zhiyuan plow has been used since the Han Dynasty, and it has been used for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, no one has improved it, but why did Qin Tian suddenly improve it? up?
And from what A Fei said, it seems that the efficiency is not bad.

For Qin Tian's ability, she was naturally happy.

But at this moment, she was a bit indifferent, and said: "This Qin Tian is usually extremely greedy for money. He doesn't know how much money he has made by playing cotton. I'm afraid Qu Yuanli will also want to reward him, right?"

Ah Fei shook his head: "The Holy Majesty was going to reward him, but he didn't want it."

"No?" Princess Jiu was a little surprised, because she thought Qin Tian would definitely want it, but soon, she understood a little bit, and she had more respect for Qin Tian.

She knew that Qin Tian must be a principled person, he could earn some business money, but he would not earn such kind of money that is very beneficial to the common people.

In fact, it is easy to understand that although cotton is good, it is grown by rich and powerful families. After they grow it, they wear it themselves. They will never let ordinary people wear it, and those people cannot afford it.

So, what if Qin Tian made money from them?

But farming is related to whether many ordinary people in Datang can have food in the next year. This is a major event for ordinary people. How can Qin Tian use this to make money?

The heart that had been suppressed by the nine princesses suddenly became eager to try again.

Ah Fei didn't know what Princess Ninth was thinking, but suddenly asked: "Your Highness, the Holy Majesty is going to sacrifice outside the city tomorrow to pray for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year. Are you going?"

Sacrifice at this time is a very important thing for Datang. At that time, all civil and military officials will go, and the nine princesses suddenly have a thought, saying: "Go!"

Ah Fei nodded to express his understanding, and then went down to prepare to go.

Time passed quickly, and the next morning, Li Yuan brought all the civil and military officials to a piece of land outside the city.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, the sacrifices began, praying for good weather.

Qin Tian stood among the crowd. Originally, he was watching Li Yuan sacrifice, but when he turned his head and saw Princess Jiu looking towards him not far away, his heart beat faster.

Immediately afterwards, he walked towards Princess Nine.

"His Royal Highness is here too?" Qin Tian asked, and the nine princesses said: "Why, this princess can't come?"

"It's not."

The nine princesses glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and said, "The one over there is the Quyuanli you transformed?"

"That's right, this Quyuan plow is very convenient to use. In addition to the Quyuan plow, I also invented a planter. At that time, you only need to pour wheat seeds into the planter and pull it in front with an ox. The crops planted are very straight.”

At this time, after plowing the land and planting, it is generally necessary to use a hoe to pull a strip of furrows, and then sprinkle the seeds on them and cover them.

But in this case, it was too slow, so after Qin Tian went back, he made another planter.

The planter is relatively larger, a bit like a trolley, with two long handles, which are mainly set on the cow.

In addition to this, there is also a place to put the seeds. This is more elegant, because the seeds need to be sown evenly, so the wheat should not fall too much or too little.

In fact, Qin Tian was talking casually, but after the ninth princess heard it, he was stunned. At first, he thought that Qin Tian just made Quyuanli, but he didn't expect to invent something that even sows seeds.

According to Qin Tian's narration, if this thing can really work, then it will be much more convenient when sowing the seeds. Moreover, if the wheat is planted neatly, the growth will definitely be much better.

"Did you tell my father?"

"I have already mentioned it to the Holy Lord. The people from the Ministry of Industry are rushing to make it. When the grain is planted, it can be put into use."

Ninth Princess snorted, but her heart was pounding.

The reason why I came here today was just to take a closer look at Qin Tian, ​​but unexpectedly he came and said this to herself, which made her not know how to express her emotions for a while.

In today's Chang'an City, although things related to the two of them are not as popular as before, they are not guaranteed to be mentioned because of their meeting again.

So, after the two said a few words like this, Princess Jiu found an excuse to leave.

The wind in the suburbs gradually picked up, and it was comfortable to blow on people. Pieces of crops were plowed, but a small piece was still left.

After the sacrifice, Li Yuan led people to the front of the field.

"Come on, come on, let me try this Qu Yuanli too, Shimin, you lead the ox in front." Li Yuan rolled up his sleeves as he said, as if he was going to do a big job.

And when he said these words, many civil and military officials who followed him changed their expressions.

In previous years, Prince Li Jiancheng did all the sacrifices and cow-raising, but this year it became Li Shimin. It is clear at a glance who is more favored between the prince and King Qin, right?
Li Shimin was a little flattered, but he quickly led the order and ran to pull the cow.

This year he can be said to have made great achievements. Let alone the Quyuanli improved by his own man Qin Tian and the planter he made, just recovering Gyeongju and knocking Tuyuhun up and down the table is already a great achievement.

If Li Yuan didn't praise him and comfort him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Li Shimin led the ox and walked ahead, while Li Yuan held his sleeves to help the plow. Although he came from a noble family, he did this job every year, so he was able to get used to it.

So the two work well together.

Prince Li Jiancheng stood on the ground, but his expression was solemn, his face was livid, and he was extremely angry.

He is the crown prince and the heir of Datang. Why did his father let Li Shimin lead the cow?
Does he still have the slightest intention to regard him as a prince?

Li Jiancheng bit his lip tightly. If there were not so many people watching, he would have flung his sleeves and left immediately.

After pulling the plow back and forth, it was noon, and the sun in the sky was gradually blazing. Li Yuan was sweating profusely. After he stopped, he said, "It's not easy to be a farmer. It's too hard. I, Tang, want to love you." Only the people will do."

As Li Yuan said, everyone followed suit, and Qin Tian also said: "What the Holy Majesty said is true, on the day of hoeing, sweat drips down the soil, who knows that every grain of rice is hard work."

Qin Tian said casually, everyone was stunned, and Li Yuan suddenly shouted: "It's hard work for every word."
