Chapter 117 Your Majesty, rejoice! (Part 2)
The cow that had run around seemed to become obedient all of a sudden, and just followed the big-headed soldier who was holding the rope in front of him. The big-headed soldier didn't seem to have much strength, and he was carrying his hands behind his back, like an old man shopping.
However, the cow has become obedient. Even if he sees grass around him, he just takes a look and occasionally wants to step over to compensate. The severe pain from his nose immediately makes it return to the right route.
"Hey, it's awesome!"
Liu Renshi stood on the ridge of the field and patted his thighs excitedly: "I said Gao Ming would never put the nose on the cow for no reason. Look, how good this cow performed, hahaha, you won't have to worry about the cow running around again in the future."
After all, cows are not humans. In their simple thinking, they naturally have to eat grass when they see it. Even after regular training, such things cannot be avoided.
This is also the reason why the military farming work of Liusu and Shiliuwei has not achieved remarkable results even though there are a large number of cattle in their hands.
In addition, the plow pulled by a cow behind also performed very extraordinary. When the ground was turned over, even if it was very shallow, the person who helped the plow had to use all his strength, otherwise the plow would be divided.
This new plow is not the case. The person who supports the plow just needs to gently support the plow and find the right direction. He does not need to press all his strength on the plow like before.
In this way, it took only a moment for the two people who were responsible for turning the ground to walk from one end to the other, then turned a very smooth turn, and began to turn back again.
This is to go against the will of heaven!
Even though he had worked in Sinong Temple for the rest of his life, Luo Chengzu couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw this scene.
It was so shocking that I just put the nose on the cow and then changed the plow shaft from straight to curved, and the speed of turning the ground increased by more than five times.
And all of this was thought out by the prince.
Fortunately, when I was in the imperial study room, I thought the prince was just an embroidered pillow and knew nothing about farming. Now it seems that he was short-sighted and did not recognize Mount Tai. The prince was the real master in this field.
Seeing that the duo who had turned the ground had turned over more than acre of land in less than half an hour, Luo Chengzu was no longer calm and quickly snatched a horse from the side, rode and ran.
Liu Renshi was startled by him: "Oh, Lao Luo, you are crazy about you!"
"Get out, I'll go and report good news to Your Majesty."
Luo Chengzu's voice came from afar, and the last word "Happiness" was already weak, which shows how fast the old man rode his horse.
...
Eastern Palace, Lizheng Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Shimin was holding a chess book, watching and posing, occasionally pausing and picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip of it, which was very comfortable.
In the past two days, singing and dancing inside and outside the court became peaceful. Without the trouble of the bad guy at home, the whole family seemed to be much quieter.
Li Laoer really wanted to continue like this in the future. If that brat wants to go out and live, go out and live. Anyway, General Tiance’s mansion is empty and General Tiance’s sign has long been picked, so he can just think that boy is a separate courtyard.
It's quite atrocious to think about it. He has become the emperor, but he still has to live in the Eastern Palace. The old man obviously doesn't become the emperor, but he insists on occupying the Tai Chi Palace.
Now, since that little brat Li Chengqian is willing to go out to live, he will go out to live. Xichiyuan is just freed for the fourth child. Li Tai has been trying to get himself in a yard for a long time and said that he doesn't want to live in the same yard as the third child, so this time he has followed his thoughts.
It was clearly watching the chess record, but Li Shimin was a little distracted without realizing it. His hand holding the chess piece was raised in the air for a long time and never fell.
At this moment, a sound of howling from outside came from outside, which scared Lao Li almost lifted the chessboard.
"Your Majesty, you are very happy! Congratulations to Your Majesty, you are very happy!"
Seeing Luo Chengzu, who was skewed and running in a messy way, and staggering into the imperial study room, Li Shimin's mouth twitched, pitiful, this old guy could have been driven crazy by my rebellious son.
Pour tea into a new cup and hand it to Luo Chengzu, who was excited to the point of being red, "Luo Qing, say something slowly, come on, wash and drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"No, thank you." Luo Chengzu took the tea with both hands, raised his head and poured it into his mouth with a very heroic look, and wiped it with his sleeve on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, you are so happy that the new plow of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was combined with the plowing ox through the nose ring. In one hour, it actually turned over three acres of land, three acres. According to this progress, the two can turn over fifteen acres in one day."
"New plow? What new plow?" Li Shimin knew about piercing the ox's nose, but the Quyuan plow only happened this morning.
Luo Chengzu answered questions and answers: "It was this morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Halfway through the old Luo's words, the great Emperor finally reacted and stood up suddenly: "Wait, what did you say just now? Can you turn over three acres of fertile land in one hour?"
"Yes!" Luo Chengzu nodded seriously: "This is what the old minister just saw with his own eyes."
"Where is it? Take me here to take a look."
This is really not a fault for Li Laoer being uneasy. What Luo Chengzu said is too shocking. You can turn over three acres of fertile land in one hour, and work for five hours a day, which is fifteen acres. Ten days are 15 acres, which is far more than the normal ten days twenty acres.
If all this is true, it would be fine if the Tang Dynasty would be able to have no food shortage in the future, at least it would be fine to let the people eat.
Of course, this is just an ideal situation. In fact, most of the people in the Tang Dynasty could not afford to raise cattle and rely on manpower to farm. Even if the mechanical structure of the curved plow is good, it still cannot be pulled.
When the emperor was traveling, the movements would not be too small. In addition, Luo Chengzu shouted, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others who were working in the central office also received news and followed.
The group rode on the fast horses sent by the imperial guards and left the city soon after. When they arrived at the military farm in Liusu, the experiment there had already stopped.
"What's going on, why did you stop?"
Liu Renshi saluted Li Shimin and others, and then said dejectedly: "No, the cow can't stand it anymore. The wound on his nose has not yet healed. After a while, it was broken again. Master Sun has put medicine on the cow."
Li Shimin looked around, then stretched out his feet and kicked the plow that was carried to the roadside: "Liu boy, tell me the truth, can this plow really cover three acres of fertile land in one hour?"
As the executor who wore a bull's nose the day before yesterday, Liu Renshi was beaten a lot after being caught. Now he finally caught the opportunity to be proud, so how could he let it go easily: "Your Majesty, how can it be said to be three acres? It's obviously three acres and a half acres, okay, I'm watching it with my own eyes."
