Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 167 Want Those [-] Young and Strong ([-]rd)
Li Shimin took a step forward and replied Li Yuan's words with a smile on his face.

"Returning to the father, the matter is like this. My son brought Xiaomu's horse into the palace. Xiaomu seemed to be afraid that he would dedicate the horse to you. But in fact it is not. The son only wants Xiaomu to show his father the horse here. The emperor explained a few things."

Li Yuan waved his hand, signaling the maids and eunuchs to step back.

When there was no one else here except Peng Hai, Li Yuan turned around and said, "Xiaomu, there is a statement from the imperial censor saying that in order to please Changping, you refused to harvest vegetables from tens of thousands of acres of land, just to see that endless The sea of ​​golden yellow flowers. Please explain one or two."

"Saints, when a flower falls, it will bear seeds, but the common people want seeds."

"Keep the seeds?" Li Yuan asked.

"It's oil extraction. According to calculations at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, one mu can produce about one and a half stones of seeds, and the actual oil yield is about [-] catties. The rest of the oil residue can be made into high-quality feed."

"Oil?"

Li Yuan became interested. The current oil in the Tang Dynasty is mostly linseed oil, which is the modern sesame oil.There are some other oils as well, but no canola appears.

"Yes, it's vegetable oil."

"Let me taste it when I introduce it." Li Yuan didn't suspect that Liu Mu would go crazy just to let Chang Ping use tens of thousands of acres of land to see the sea of ​​flowers and so on.But there is always an answer to the censor.

Li Yuan said again: "Erlang, what do you want Xiaomu to explain?"

"Father, there are two things. One is that Xiaomu wants to beg the [-] young and strong that everyone avoids. The other is that the horse is very different and seems to have a universe."

"Let's talk about the horse first." Li Yuan got up and followed Li Shimin to Liu Mu's horse. What Li Shimin showed Li Yuan was the horse's shoe.

The father and son saw Liu Mu's expression of relief at the same time.

That expression was like they really wanted to take the horse away just now, and Liu Mu was reluctant.

"Xiaomu."

"Holy man, this is called horseshoe iron. It is made of hot iron and iron nails nailed on the horse's hoof. Horseshoes are like human nails, they will continue to grow and change, and will not hurt. And the horse's original I ran by myself, but with a heavier person on my back, the horseshoe is easy to wear and tear, adding this iron palm not only reduces wear, but more importantly increases the grip."

The term grip is magic.

Willow made a very vivid metaphor, comparing the flat palm on the ground with the fingers clasped on the ground.

"Okay. I want to reward you, a big reward."

"Saint, those 2 people are all young and strong, and it takes a lot of strength to forge iron. Also, Mu's servant hasn't picked any people yet, so he wants to pick 300 people from here."

"Add one hundred, and I'll give you 400 writers." Li Yuan laughed loudly.

Li Yuan rode the horse himself for two rounds, and asked Peng Hai to bring all the horses in the palace himself, and Sanyuan asked Liumu's blacksmith to shoe the horses.

"Xiaomu, Bingzhou, is this horseshoe in time?" Li Yuan asked.

"Saint, it's too late. We don't have that much iron, but don't worry, old man, I'm going to open a mine in Yaozhou, and I have a new method of refining iron. If it goes well..., if it goes well..."

Liu Mu didn't dare to speak anymore.

why?
In the era of the Tang Dynasty, charcoal was still used to smelt iron. The temperature of charcoal was limited. What came out of the ore was not iron, but a spongy solid iron with a lot of impurities, which required multiple forgings to become iron.

This is also the origin of the name of Baisteel in the Tang Dynasty, which has to be forged a hundred times to become steel.

Datang's current annual steel output is less than [-] tons.

If one thousand tons is replaced by Datang's current data, it is 200 million catties.

This amount is not even enough for a high-rise residential building in the modern age of later generations.

"Can you not tell me?"

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty waited eagerly for a long time, but they waited for this sentence.Li Shimin was furious immediately: "Little carpenter, don't think that this king dares not beat you."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, if you have one hundred thousand catties, I will reward you."

"Say." Li Shimin pressed Liu Mu again.

"One hundred thousand stones." Liu Mu finally spoke.

Hearing this number, Li Yuan and his son petrified on the spot, and Liu Mu alone was five times the annual steel output of Datang in one year.

Willow is already driving down that number.

This is 100 tons of steel, not enough to build a medium-sized residential area.In the later Hyundai, those with an annual output of less than [-] million tons are defined as small steel mills, which are low-capacity small factories that are destined to be shut down.

After a long time, Li Yuan turned his head with a cold face: "Xiao Mu, why do you need so much iron?"

"In exchange for money, one iron pot on the grassland is worth ten sheep."

Li Yuan burst out laughing, it's a sheep again.

"Go, go. Take the 2 people away, and I will give you another [-] shi of grain, and at least let me see tens of thousands of jin of iron before the end of the year."

Liu Mu didn't leave in a hurry: "Sage, it's hot these days, and Xiaomin has a place to go, why don't you go and relax with him. Xiaomin still has many good things hidden, you will definitely like it."

Li Yuan closed his eyes and raised his head.

Li Shimin was very nervous, he knew very well that Li Yuan's decision at this time also implied his attitude towards himself.

Li Yuan thought a lot, a lot.

For example, the dispute between the Crown Prince's Mansion in the court and the King Qin's Mansion.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Li Yuan said, "Erlang, go to Jing Zhaoyin to convey my intentions in person. In Chang'an City, all kinds of cases, large and small, are reviewed by the three provinces for capital punishment and serious punishment. Even if it's just a minor punishment , but also give priority to exhortation.”

"Yes, my son, remember." Li Shimin knew that this was actually telling him not to kill people indiscriminately.

Especially concerning the Prince's Mansion, let Chang'an City calm down a bit.

After Li Shimin replied, Li Yuan asked Liu Mu: "Xiao Mu, how do you arrange it?"

"Sage, you and Xiaomin go to Sanyuan together, then go to Baishui in five days, and then go to Yaozhou in ten days. I think there is a place with excellent scenery in Yaozhou, and a simple palace has been built. Jieshi, the palace Then you pick someone to go with you to escape the heat."

"That's it." Li Yuan agreed.

Li Shimin had no expression on his face, but was ecstatic in his heart.

There is no need to kill any more, as long as Li Jiancheng doesn't mess around, give himself half a year in this extraordinary period, and the city of Chang'an will be settled.

Mihara.

Su Dingfang was manning the army. He never expected that Li Yuan, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would come to Sanyuan with Liu Mu with only one hundred imperial troops.

Li Yuan didn't feel any uneasiness in his heart, the rebellion could never happen again.

My son Li Shimin will be very careful to deploy the troops around here. If there is a little mistake, Li Shimin will lose more than he imagined, so Li Shimin will not neglect.

Su Dingfang knelt down on one knee to welcome Li Yuan.

"You... I seem to have seen you before."

"Sinner Su Lie." Su Dingfang fell on the ground with one knee instead of both knees.

Su Dingfang claimed to be a sinner, and he was not wrong. He had been with many people over the years, and it could be said that he had been fighting Datang, and he fought very fiercely.
