Wentang

Chapter 17 Li Shimin's Auspiciousness
As a prudent person, Changsun Wuji did not go to see Li Shimin directly, but instead went to his family's manor outside the city to find a few experienced old farmers to inspect Quyuanli's situation.

Seeing Qu Yuanli, those old farmers did not despise him as much as Yang Goudan, so they also escaped the tragedy of being slapped in the face.

These old farmers are experts who have been planting crops all their lives. Seeing the effect of Qu Yuanli with their own eyes, they quickly summed up several advantages.

In addition to saving the strong labor of a plow and flexibly controlling the depth, the curved plow is smaller and lighter than the straight plow; the turned-out soil is tilted to one side, reducing the resistance of the plow to advance; the plow has a The freely rotatable plow disc makes it easier to turn around and turn...

These old farmers really studied Quyuanli from beginning to end thoroughly, not letting go of a wooden wedge.Then they really found a place for improvement, and that was the plowshare.

Yue Shan didn't know what the plowshare of Quyuanli should look like, he bought the plowshare of Zhiyuanli and installed it on the plow askew.It's barely usable, but always a huge blemish.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to spot it, but in front of these experienced farmers, this flaw was naturally invisible.A group of old farmers murmured together for a long time, and redesigned a brand new plowshare.

With Changsun Wuji's order, the manor's blacksmiths fired all their firepower and built a brand new plowshare in a short while.

If Yue Shan sees this new plowshare and has an impression of the plowshares of later generations, he will definitely find that the plowshares designed by these old farmers are [-]% similar to the plowshares of later generations.

The old farmers installed the new plowshares, adjusted the angle, and re-tested to find that the plow was deeper and more labor-saving.

After confirming that Lao Nong's design was correct and Yue Shan was wrong, Changsun Wuji's fear of him disappeared immediately.

Before, Yue Shan acted too evil, as if everything was in his scheme.Not only Changsun Wuji is afraid of him, but Li Shimin is also the same.

But this plowshare mistake made Changsun Wuji realize that he was just an ordinary person.At most, they are smarter and luckier than the average person.

In Changsun Wuji's view, the reason why the plowshare went wrong was not because of the person who created Quyuanli.But when the old Taoist taught it to Yue Shan, he remembered it wrongly, or didn't remember it at all, so he used the straight shaft plow and plowshare to make do.

This shows that Yue Shan also makes mistakes, as long as one person makes mistakes, everyone's fear of him will be lowered by many levels.This is the case with Yueshan at this time.

And he didn't know that he had eliminated another crisis by mistake.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no other problems, Changsun Wuji rewarded these old farmers and warned them that no one should imitate Quyuanli until the order of the court was issued.

Then he took the reformed Qu Yuanli to see Li Shimin.

After seeing Li Shimin, he explained the ins and outs of the matter, from his eldest grandson Wugou entrusting him to take care of Yueshan, to today's everything that happened.

Not only was Li Shimin not angry with his eldest grandson Wugou's behavior, but he liked it even more.I feel that my wife is really a good woman who is virtuous and virtuous.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's evaluation of Yue Shan, he was noncommittal on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.After all, a mysterious boy suddenly appeared, and anyone would be wary of it.

Now that he knew that the other party was just a lucky guy with some intelligence, he naturally felt relieved.

After dispelling his vigilance, he became more curious about this young man, and became interested in Qu Yuanli.It can shock such a well-informed person as Changsun Wuji, which shows that this thing is extraordinary.

This reminded him of the self-confident appearance of the young man by the creek the day before yesterday: I have a lot of good things in my hands, and prosperity and wealth are at my fingertips.

He didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that it may be true.

I won't go into too much detail about the follow-up experiments. Anyway, after seeing the actual effect, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise Qu Yuanli as a god-given artifact to Datang.

Then he told Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, try your best to find the whereabouts of that Taoist priest. It is a great loss for the court that it is so big that it is not used by the court."

Changsun Wuji took the order solemnly.

After that, Li Shimin asked the master craftsman who was the supervisor to rebuild a brand new Quyuan plow with the best materials, and selected an auspicious day as an auspicious day and presented it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan and his ministers who were discussing the matter all showed surprise on their faces, because Li Shimin disliked the auspicious words the most, and every time he reprimanded them as deceitful words.Why did you take the initiative to send auspiciousness today?Has he changed his gender?

However, Li Yuan thought of more, he thought it was very likely that this staunch son gave in to him.Knowing that I like auspiciousness, I deliberately use auspiciousness to please myself.

Li Jiancheng's face turned gloomy. He thought that something abnormal must be caused by a demon.Li Shimin deliberately flattered his father and competed with him for favor.

The expressions of the princes in the court are wonderful, some are puzzled, some are curious, some are contempt... Li Shimin sees everything in his eyes, but he just sneers in his heart but ignores it.

Then a group of monarchs and ministers moved to the royal garden in the palace at the invitation of Li Shimin.

Li Yuan is a person who is very considerate of the common people. In order to let the people in the palace understand the sufferings of the people, he specially reserved a piece of farmland in the palace.From time to time, I let the concubine, the prince, etc. experience life.

A group of people came to the farmland, and Li Shimin lifted Qu Yuanli up.

"This thing is the auspiciousness I dedicate to my father."

Seeing that it was a plow, most people showed puzzled expressions. What kind of auspicious is this?Some people with good associative skills think that the King of Qin is planning to borrow something to persuade the emperor to encourage Nongsang.Some people sneered endlessly, waiting to see how Li Shimin would end up.

Only a small group of people looked at the plow with surprised expressions.Apparently found its difference.

As for Li Yuan himself, as I said earlier, he is not an emperor who does not work hard and does not distinguish between five grains.On the contrary, he often farms the fields himself, so he knows a lot about plowing.

After seeing the auspiciousness presented by Li Shimin, he was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little unhappy.Then I discovered that this plow was a little different.

As an emperor, his city is very deep, and he will not directly express his opinions unless he understands it.Instead, he asked kindly: "Shimin, I think this plow seems to be different from the usual ones. What's so clever about it?"

"Father is wise, this plow is indeed different from ordinary plows. Ordinary plows require at least two strong men to use, but this plow only needs one strong man and one unbound man. People with chicken power can use it."

Li Shimin didn't go into a long speech to praise Qu Yuanli's excellence, but went straight to the issue that everyone would care about: saving manpower.

Sure enough, upon hearing that only one strong man was needed, Li Yuan's eyes revealed a frightening light, and the crowd became noisy.

"If there are livestock at home, only an old man can easily use this plow." Li Shimin dropped another big bomb.
