Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"But me, I don't need it, and I don't plan to hang out in the court. Even if I get a title this year, I still plan to play by myself. I don't have the slightest intention to go to the court, so I want to do this." What is Yu Ruyi doing?"

"So, for me, only the rewards that are real and implemented are the benefits and the rewards, otherwise, it's called cheating!"

Li Shimin finally understands, it's not that this young man doesn't understand the meaning of Yu Ruyi, but that he understands better than anyone else in his life, he doesn't care about these things at all, he only wants those things that are real.

If this is the case, then Li Shimin has nothing to say. This is not in the same circle at all, and it is useless to talk about it. It is better to just agree to help him get some land.

However, Li Shimin still felt in his heart that he was playing the piano a little bit against the cow today!

Chapter 249

Li Shimin finally agreed to go back for Zhang Nuo and ask for several Huangzhuang as rewards. Of course, Li Shimin also guaranteed the promise, not to mention saying that he would report to His Majesty and then apply for rewards. As for the final result, he did not know.

Zhang Nuo nodded nonchalantly, as long as the reward is followed in this way, it doesn't matter, as much as it is earned.

It's like a person who is hungry by himself, but after a meal comes out, suddenly someone thinks you did a good job and wants to give you a reward, it doesn't matter. Every dollar is pure profit.

After talking with Zhang Nuo, Li Shimin immediately got off the ground and picked up the Quyuan plow that had already plowed five acres of land without knowing it, and started to experiment by himself.

Sure enough, this kind of tool has to be used by yourself to experience the benefits.

Lightweight and labor-saving, with these two advantages, Li Shimin felt that his reward was worthwhile.

Changsun Wuji also tried it himself. He didn't have the deep experience of Li Shimin, but he could easily feel the progress and benefits brought by the new technology.

It has to be said that none of the current group of people who follow the old Li family to fight in the country are the kind of idiots who don't want to eat meat, and all of them are very clear about life at the bottom.

Although they are not as good as those senior peasants in this aspect, they can at least distinguish the good from the bad, and for this group of people who hang out in the court every day, it is probably enough to be clear.

After walking in the field for a few times, Li Shimin returned to Zhang Nuo, sighing hesitantly,

"My dear brother, why do you think there are so many craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor, and even many people from the family of craftsmen among them, can't produce this kind of artifact? Their craftsmanship is not bad at all!"

Zhang Nuo cast a speechless glance at Lao Li. He was lamenting that Lao Li was a real person just now, but now he is acting stupid.

"Hey, Lao Li, you have to know that this person has a steelyard in his heart. On weekdays, those officials treat these craftsmen like pigs and dogs, shouting and drinking, and punishing them every time. You still want them to take the initiative? live?"

"Besides, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are responsible for the credit for doing a good job. If you don't do it well, you will lose money or even get beaten up if you don't do it well enough to waste the materials in the workshop. Why do you want to do it?"

Changsun Wuji also came over quietly at this time, and after hearing Zhang Nuo's words, he instinctively wanted to refute a few words, how could he say such things about the imperial court, wouldn't this tarnish the imperial court's reputation?

But the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them, because he knew that what Zhang Nuo said was true, and even if there were all kinds of skilled craftsmen gathered in the Ministry of Industry, there was nothing to say about the craftsmanship of these masters, but Life is really not going well.

As the current Shang Shusheng Zuo Pushe, he clearly knows that the actual situation is more serious than what the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said. If he fails to do well, he will be scolded, punished, whipped or even beheaded.

But compared to these horrific punishments, the rewards generally do not fall on the craftsmen, but the officials of the Ministry of Industry can often rely on these achievements to slowly climb up, and occasionally receive other rewards from His Majesty.

If things go on like this, it is indeed as the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said, only fools do this.

Li Shimin sighed deeply, but his mouth was full of bitterness and he didn't know how to speak, because this was not a problem that could be solved in a short while.

The artisans at this time were people of the lower class than the peasants. In the eyes of officials, or in the eyes of the gentry, they could hardly be regarded as human beings.

If Li Shimin asked them to respect the craftsmen and protect the rights and interests of the craftsmen at this moment, it is estimated that officials all over the world will attack them together, because this is breaking the class gap and it is a challenge to the gentry.

It’s just that he didn’t notice the role of craftsmen before, but now the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang has repeatedly proved that a good craftsman can increase the national strength by almost one person. How can he not pay attention to this?

Li Shimin turned his head and threw the question he thought of to Zhang Nuo. Anyway, he has lost face in front of Zhang Nuo, and he has pretended to be a dead dog several times. Instead of racking his brains, it is better to let this smart person help him think about it.

Zhang Nuo laughed when he heard Lao Li's question, and shook his head lightly.

"Lao Li, you are treating me like a god, and even a god can't solve this problem in a short time!"

"It can even be said that as long as the gentry are in control of the court, other classes will not be allowed to rise up. After all, people are selfish, and the first thing to protect is the interests of their own class!"

"However, sometimes you are too arrogant and think too much. Why do you think you need to promote the status of artisans now? Why can't you let the artisans be used by the court first?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up immediately when they heard the words, yes, why did they have to do their best in one battle as soon as they came up?

Anyway, what they are looking for now is to allow craftsmen to actively improve tools and create new types of equipment, and they don't care about this moment at all to improve their status.

Seeing the sudden realization of these two people, Zhang Nuo smiled,

"You guys, it seems that you have figured it out, so since you have figured it out, I don't need to say it!"

Li Shimin was taken aback, and hurried over to say good things,

"Brother, how can my brother compare with you? My brain is buzzing right now, so you should just say it!"

Changsun Wuji doesn't know what to say anymore, His Majesty's flattery has become more and more proficient, even more and more explicit, how decent is this?

The most important thing is, after His Majesty's flattering skills become more proficient, will it be more difficult to flatter His Majesty in the future?

Zhang Nuo didn't know what Lao Sun was thinking about. He only knew that this was his first effort for the craftsmen of Datang.

"Old Li, you have to understand that those craftsmen, such as imperial decree rewards, oral praises, jade wishes, etc., are all imaginary. Money, grain, and silk are real. A compliment is much stronger!"

"Don't try to persuade His Majesty to get some plaque rewards or the like, that's not as good as usual money!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin almost broke out in sweat. He has to admit that he was really thinking about whether to implement a new policy just now. As long as he comes up with this new type of equipment that benefits the country and the people, he will personally give a plaque.

But Zhang Nuo didn't care about Lao Li's expression, instead he said leisurely,

"For the artisans, the rewards must be real. People are starving to death, so what's the use of asking for a plaque? However, there is one more thing you have to mention to His Majesty, but don't continue to reward them. It was taken away by those Ministry of Industry officials!"

Chapter 250 The Advancement of the System

When Changsun Wuji heard what Zhang Nuo said, his first reaction was that the Ministry of Industry was going to be in trouble!
