The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin asked people to clear a place first, and then he carried the curved plow over.

He found a thousand-bull guard and asked him to pull the plow in front, while he held the plow in the back.

The thousand-bull guard was very strong. He put the rope on his shoulder and pulled it forward, with endless strength.

And Li Shimin held the curved plow in the back and felt it carefully.

As expected, it was much easier to control than other plows.

After walking for a while, Li Shimin stopped.

"Assistant, you come." Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji: "You hold the plow."

He handed the plow to Changsun Wuji, and then looked at the thousand-bull guard in front.

"Give me the rope."

"Your Majesty, you must not do that. You are worth a thousand gold."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Shimin urged.

What a body worth a thousand gold. Even in war, it is not so delicate. Isn't it that he rushed forward with a horse spear and a hard bow?

Why is he so delicate now that he is an emperor?

Who is he looking down on?

Li Shimin took the rope from the Qianniu Guard and pulled it on his shoulder. Changsun Wuji supported the plow behind him.

The emperor and his minister walked again.

At this time, Li Shimin had a more intuitive experience of using the curved plow.

The same was true for Changsun Wuji who was controlling the plow behind him.

"Good, good."

Li Shimin couldn't hide the smile on his face. He looked at the curved plow with joy in his eyes.

"It's really a good thing." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but praise it.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also tried it.

In this corner of the Imperial Garden, the land for planting flowers was turned into a mess by them.

But everyone present was very excited.

Li Shimin was not just happy, his eyes looked at Shitou.

"Shitou, did the King of Jingyang tell you anything else?" Li Shimin asked.

Shitou bowed his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty, His Highness did not tell me anything else, just asked me to hand over this curved plow and the blueprint to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can better benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, his expression a little puzzled.

Why, his cousin, why did he change his temper this time.

He doesn't want any benefits?

This is not like him.

After experiencing the renovation of Da'an Palace, Li Shimin was afraid of Li Fu's lion's big mouth. It can be said that once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the rope for ten years.

Li Shimin didn't believe that Li Fu would not want anything for such a good thing as the curved plow, so he gave it to him directly.

Even if it was for some money, Li Shimin felt more at ease.

Li Fu was quiet, he must be making trouble.

It would be more pleasant to give him some money to get rid of him.

"Did he really say that?"

Li Shimin expressed his disbelief.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is dedicated to the welfare of the people, selfless, incorruptible, honest, upright, morally upright, responsible for the people, and has always faced temptation with justice and courage, adhered to the bottom line, handled things with sincerity and transparency, adhered to the law, served the people with his heart, and tried his best to solve the difficulties and problems of the people, and never forgot his original intention of serving the people."

Shitou bowed his hands, his face was pious and holy.

Shitou followed Li Fu and learned a lot of such flattering words.

Li Shimin frowned.

The style of this speech sounded very familiar and impatient.

Okay, okay, okay, what kind of master brings out what kind of servant.

King Jingyang, it's really three sets of clothes minus two sets, he really has one.

"In that case, when you go back to see your prince, tell him that I am very grateful for his gift to me, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will also thank him." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes." Shitou bowed and responded, looking very honest, and then said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty will come to Chang'an City in a few days."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

Oh, waiting here.

He didn't think that Li Fu returned to Chang'an City just to visit Chang'an.

After all, Chang'an City couldn't keep the heart of King Jingyang.

"Okay, I know." Li Shimin said: "Go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The eunuch took Shitou and the others away, and Li Shimin led Changsun Wuji and the other three back to Liangyi Hall, and summoned the Minister of Works to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters.

"You have seen and experienced the curved plow. It is a great thing." Li Shimin praised the curved plow without hesitation: "Within a year, this new plow will be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty, so that the people can save some effort when plowing the land."

"Your Majesty is right. This curved plow is indeed of great benefit to the people who farm the land."

They also agreed with Li Shimin's words.

This is a good thing, which has the most direct help in helping the Tang Dynasty restore its national strength.

The drawings were handed over to the Ministry of Works for research and study.

As for the promotion of the curved plow, Li Shimin plans to talk about it in the court tomorrow.

It is a matter of great importance, and we must work together.

In addition, the preparations for the Farming Festival of the Ministry of Rites are almost ready.

Li Fu wants to return to Chang'an because he wants to participate in the celebration and go to the spring plowing ceremony together.

At that time, Li Shimin plans to use the curved plow so that more people can witness it.

The next morning court.

Li Shimin sat at the head of the high seat and listened to Changsun Wuji's report on the revision of the law.

Pei Ji, who was sitting next to him, felt uncomfortable.

"What Shangshu Changsun said just now is the first major event of the Zhenguan New Dynasty. Do you have any comments?" Li Shimin asked, looking down.

Wei Zheng stood up.

"I think that during the Wude years, there were constant disturbances, and recuperation should not always be the top priority. What the new Zhenguan Dynasty should do is to recuperate."

Li Shimin nodded.

Wei Zheng stood up and talked about the topic of recuperation and restoring national strength. It just so happened that there was a new plow, haha, something to talk about.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel proud.

Since he ascended the throne, Wei Zheng, the counselor, has said a lot in the court.

At this time, Pei Ji also spoke.

"In the first year of Wude, the Daye Law of the Sui Dynasty was abolished. At that time, the emperor ordered me to revise the Wude Law. I still remember this clearly."

Pei Ji sighed.

"I remember, there is also Liu Wenjing." Li Shimin looked at Pei Ji coldly.

When the people present heard this name, their hearts were all shocked.

Pei Ji was also stunned for a moment, and then responded with a fake smile.

"Yes, yes. In the seventh year of Wude, a new law was promulgated and implemented for several years. I have never seen anything wrong with it. Your Majesty is now revising the Wude Law. I wonder if you are dissatisfied with it?"

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the only serious thing Pei Ji did was to revise the Wude Law

Now, Li Shimin asked Zhangsun Wuji to revise the law again and re-implement the new "Zhenguan Law", which is undoubtedly to overturn all his previous achievements.
