Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 209 Agricultural College

Another court meeting, according to the usual practice, Li Shimin asked subconsciously: "My dear friends, if you have something to do, you can play it early, and if you have nothing to do, you can leave the court."

"The minister has this book."

Glancing at the speaker, Li Shimin said narrowly: "Master Yan, you have been with Long Feiyu for a while, and you have learned all the skills of this performance."

Master Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "I have no choice but to do so. This is the memorial reported by the Agricultural College yesterday. It was handed over by Prime Minister Long himself. If I don't report it, I'm afraid I won't even be able to return home after the court."

"What's the matter with him?"

"Your Majesty, yesterday the Agricultural College developed an artifact. Xiang Long specially named it "Quyuanli", and the minister reported it to His Majesty. Li Xue, who invented this object, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred hectares of land, and a nobleman. level one."

"What? A farmer, even if he has made great contributions, he won't be able to get these last time, right?" Mr. Yan just stood up and criticized.

Li Shimin also frowned and said, "What is it? Can Long Feiyu boast so much?"

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a sacred object. In order to verify that I went to the Agricultural College yesterday afternoon. This curved plow is different from the previous plows. It plows the land and saves human and animal power. Ordinary plows take half The work that can be done in one month can be done in two or three days with this kind of plow. The meaning of Longxiang is that he hopes that His Majesty can promote this plow before spring plowing."

"Is there really such a god?"

"Yes, I also heard Long Feiyu talk about it yesterday, and I also had some doubts, but he said that I was a salt smuggler, and he must not understand the secret of this. So Yue Chen went there at noon today Watch, if there are any ministers who want to watch, let's go together today."

"Really? Is it really so miraculous? When the court meeting is over, those who want to go can go with me."

Li Shimin has to express his position on things that are good for the common people after others have researched them.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up and said: "Your Majesty, due to the lack of funds in the Ministry of Households, I am afraid that it will take some time to prepare for the construction of residences for the princes."

"The funds are insufficient again. Once Long Feiyu comes back, the household department will have no money? What does the household department have enough money for now?"

"Long Xiang has set aside a hundred acres of land on the two wings of the Agricultural College to build medical, industrial, and various colleges. Where are all the staff from the Ministry of Industry going?"

"What? This Long Feiyu is too courageous. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I will pluck his skin today."

Seeing Li Shimin's fury, Yu Shinan hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have an answer."

"Say"

"Yesterday, I went to the Dragon Mansion with Master Chu to ask for calligraphy. I accidentally found the "Three Character Classic" that Long Xiang used to enlighten his children. This has been promoted as an enlightenment for my children in the Tang Dynasty."

"What? Take a look"

"Yes"

Yu Shinan carefully took out the words from behind, and was presented by Sanbao.Li Shimin opened it casually and glanced at it, then was shocked, and laughed at his desk for a long time: "Okay, okay. It is worthy of being called a scripture, and the decree is to copy the content of this word and spread it to the world. Sanbao hangs this word Go to my study, I want to see it."

"Yes"

Hearing that Li Shimin wanted to hang this painting in the study, Yu Shinan said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it's mine."

"Didn't you dedicate it to me? How can it still be called yours? Well, let's not discuss this matter."

Hearing this sentence, Yu Shinan felt a little depressed, and glanced at Chu Suiliang who was not far away. At this time, he was looking at himself gloatingly. Seeing Chu Suiliang's expression, Yu Shinan remembered that Li Shimin is also a person who loves calligraphy. Giving such a beautiful picture to Li Shimin is like giving the fish to a greedy cat. If you want to get it back, at least scratch you bloody.

As soon as Long Feiyu arrived at the Chang'an household department, he had no money, which made the ministers of the DPRK and China collectively quiet down.Originally, due to anti-corruption and gaining profits in the past few years, they paid attention to spending money to Li Shimin, and at least they could get a little kickback. When Long Feiyu came back, the household department had no money. Don't dare to say it, Long Feiyu doesn't care about others, but he will show up when he gets money, this is the consensus of the whole Chang'an.

After the court, under the leadership of Li Shimin, a group of people came to the college outside the city, and there were a lot of people here, there were countless people moving stones, digging pits, and sawing wood.Seeing this situation, Li Shimin clicked his tongue secretly, glanced at Yan Shangshu beside him and said, "Why are there so many people? There are not so many palaces built for the prince?"

Yan Shangshu shook his head and said, "I don't know either, so it's not Li Shilang, so ask him."

Yan Shangshu from far away started waving to Li Shilang, Li Shilang naturally wanted to come here to suffer, so he trotted over and saluted in a hurry when he saw Li Shimin.Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm in Weifu, so I don't need to delay everyone's enthusiasm for work. By the way, when did the Ministry of Industry have so many people?"

Li Shilang scratched his head with a chuckle and said: "These people are not from the Ministry of Industry, but the people of Chang'an City. These people came to see the artifact. Xiang Long said, as long as these people work hard, let them see it today." The legendary artifact. He has been talking since yesterday afternoon, and all the farmers within a radius of tens of miles have rushed over this morning. Anyway, it is the slack season at this time, and the work can be done faster with their help. "

"Oh, where is Long Feiyu?"

"Longxiang, Liu Yue from the Agricultural College, and Daoist Sun Simiao are researching a tool for removing wheat chaff. They studied it there early in the morning, and it is currently being tested."

"Go in and have a look."

A group of people swaggered into the Agricultural College, but obviously no one noticed them at this time. A large group of people gathered in the open space not far away, talking and laughing without knowing what they were talking about.

The joining of Li Shimin and his group did not attract the attention of others. In the middle of the field, Long Feiyu was sweeping piles of wheat ears with a broom, while Feiying was beating with today's newly made tool flail.

"bang"

With a crisp sound, the flail in Feiying's hand fell, and he crouched on the ground covering his head.Seeing this scene, Long Feiyu threw away the broom in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Forget about being stupid, I provide you with such a good tool to let you separate the wheat used for experimentation. What are you doing yourself?"

"This thing is useless at all. If you take it up, it will hit your head. It won't work for the wheat, but it's quick for me to peel off the skin. It's good that you don't add to the trouble of making these things."

"Hmph, that's because you are stupid. Let me tell you how much it has changed. You have to grasp the end of this bamboo pole and use a little force when you lift it up, just like the oars you shake when you are on a boat. That one is downward and this one is just right. Instead, learn."

Long Feiyu pushed Feiying aside, picked up the flail by himself, and beat the wheat up and down.After a while, the uncle stopped his movements, waved his hands to the people watching and said, "Let's all come and see, is this thing much cleaner than a waist picked out with a wooden stick? Tell you, man is the king of all souls." Long, the difference between any animal is that humans know practical tools. The current situation in my Tang Dynasty is that there are fewer people and more land. If you grow too little, you can’t eat enough, and if you grow too much, you can’t harvest it. With these simple tools, everyone can be more It’s good to improve the efficiency of work, so as to save manpower and material resources. Well, put these ears of wheat in a basket and pour them into the windmill, let me try the performance of the windmill.”

Everyone packed up the wheat and walked towards the windmill. When they poured the wheat into the pocket of the windmill, Long Feiyu had already turned on the wooden switch underneath, and started shaking his hands.

Seeing the wheat falling down the wooden bucket, everyone cheered, but there was also a burst of cursing.Hearing the scolding, Long Feiyu turned off the wooden switch and stopped, looked in the direction of the scolding, and saw these six or seven gray old men there, at this moment they were covered with dust from head to toe.

After looking it over carefully, Long Feiyu didn't recognize the other people for the time being, but he still knew Cheng Zhijie, the black fat man. Seeing his outfit, he smiled and said, "Cheng Guogong, why is he dressed like this? You put on makeup ? No matter how you paint, you can’t hide your maverick figure.”

"What a fart, His Majesty came to give you condolences out of kindness, you made us like this without saying a word, you still have a smile on your face."

Hearing that Li Shimin was also coming, Long Feiyu looked it over carefully, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, we saw you coming, besides, I have warned you just now, the direction of the air outlet cannot treat others, you Where did you guys go and what did you do?"

Li Shimin muttered about the dust on his body, and said awkwardly: "I just want to see what it is from over there. Who would have thought that I was attacked by you as soon as I arrived, and I didn't even dodge it."

Long Feiyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Liu Yue, hurry up and get some water to wash His Majesty."

Hearing that this person is the emperor, the people around were already stunned there, and it took a long time to react, hula knelt down and shouted long live.Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Everyone is busy with their own business, today is a private visit in WeChat, so there is no need to salute."

Now that Li Shimin said so, those people had no choice but to go on.After Liu Yue ordered someone to bring water and clean them, Li Shimin walked up to the windmill, looked it over carefully, tried shaking it a few times, nodded silently and said: "Yes, this thing can not only It is also good for dehumidification of wheat and as a fan in summer.”

Li Shimin's words caused a burst of laughter, and when the laughter ended, Li Shimin came again: "I heard from Yan Shangshu that you have made a magic weapon, why don't you take a look."

As soon as Long Feiyu waved his hand, someone went down to drive two cows and came over. Li Xuezheng was walking in the front. When he saw him coming, Long Feiyu said: "Li Xue, Your Majesty came to see the Qu Yuan you made today. Plow, hurry up and show it to His Majesty."

Hearing Li Shimin's arrival, Li Xue instinctively trembled, and said nervously: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, have you come here in person?"

"Why are you nervous, let you show your talent, why are you trembling?"

"The biggest official Caomin has ever been in in his life is Dean Liu. I didn't expect to see the prime minister yesterday and the emperor today. Caomin was excited."

"You have to show your talent even when you are excited. Hurry up and don't waste time."

"Yes, yes, Caomin is going now."

Seeing Li Xue's nervous appearance, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials next to Li Shimin shouted: "This man is famous for his fame? How can he be an official at this level?"

"Lord Gao, your officials are in charge of the world. This Li Xue is an out-and-out farmer. I came to him to show off his talent in making things, not to recite poems for you. What do you want for fame? Can I eat food or drink it as water?"

Hearing Long Feiyu's words, Gao Shangshu was about to refute, when Li Xue shouted: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Long, the bull is ready."

Hearing that it was set up, everyone gathered around. Li Xue pointed to one of the straight plows and said: "This is the most advanced plow in Datang, and the other is the new Quyuan plow from the Agricultural College. As long as you start Cultivate the land, His Majesty will be able to see the effect."

As Li Xue said, he called two people to pick up the bullwhip and began to whip, but after the ox with the curved plow had walked around and returned to the far point, the ox with the straight plow hadn't finished pulling halfway. Such a speed not only stunned Li Shimin, but also a group of courtiers who came with him at this time were not easy to admire.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, Li Xue, you have created such a fetish for my Tang Dynasty, and I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred hectares of land, and a rank of nobility according to what the Dragon Lord said. To release new products, I am still young and strong, I don’t mind if any of you have the ability to let me come here again.”

Li Shimin said some words of encouragement, then looked at Long Feiyu and said, "Go, go and see how your academy is progressing."

A group of people talked and laughed and walked towards the place where the crowd gathered. A guard stopped Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, we can't go any further. If something happens, we won't be able to deal with it."

Li Shimin smiled indifferently and said: "There are two brothers Long Aiqing and Cheng Aiqing here, how dare that thief be so blind?"
