Chapter 10, Four Princesses of the Wind Flower Snow Moon
After the morning court the next day.
Chu Zhi called the Minister of Works alone to Yanhua Hall.
Liu Lide, the Minister of Works, is also one of Chu Zhi's few confidants.
However, the Ministry of Works has always had much weaker power than the Ministry of Revenue, Personnel, and the Ministry of Justice. Although Liu Lide was also the Secretary of the Six Ministry, the power in the court was much weaker than Xu Youqian.
Moreover, Liu Lide himself has a relatively real personality. How to say it, he is a stubborn person and is not good at making friends. Instead, he likes to specialize in the gadgets of his Ministry of Works.
At this time, Liu Lide knelt respectfully on the ground in Yanhua Hall.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if there is any important thing to call the old minister here?"
"Liu Qing, please get up quickly. It is indeed a very important thing for me to call you here today."
Chu Zhi held his hands in vain, and Liu Lide also stood up and sat half on the chair prepared aside.
"Your Majesty, please give me instructions, and the old minister should do his best."
"Liu Qing is so serious. I wonder what Liu Qing thinks about the issue of spring seeds discussed in the court today?"
Chu Zhi did not directly explain the purpose of the trip, but instead asked the question of today's morning court.
After hearing this, Liu Lide was about to kneel down again with a trembling gesture.
Chu Zhi quickly took his eyes and hands to support him.
"Liu Qing, what are you doing?"
"The old minister is afraid. His Majesty is worried about the difficulties of the people in farming at dawn, but the old minister cannot help at all."
"Liu Qing is so serious, I see Liu Qing's hard work."
Chu Zhi smiled and said, "I wonder if the Ministry of Works will have researched new tillage tools in recent days?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the old minister has been developing new tillage tools with his subordinates recently. The tillage tools in the past are a bit inefficient. It is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive to encounter this frozen wasteland, but it is still helpless today."
As the Minister of Works, I am naturally concerned about the livelihood of the people. Although I have not made great contributions over the years, some small studies have promoted the development of the Great Yan.
Of course, it can be seen that the straight plows used in Dayan are now unavailable to the table.
It’s just that being determined is one thing, and whether it can be developed is a different matter.
Chu Zhi saw the worry in Liu Lide's eyes, and no longer kept it a secret, and took out the drawing of the curved plow drawn by Mu Changqing.
"Liu Qing looked at this drawing?"
Liu Lide took it curiously: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Chu Zhi didn't reply, just looked at him with a smile.
Speaking of which, Chu Zhi was also a little nervous.
Although Mu Changqing said that the efficiency of this curved plow is much higher than the straight plow used by the people at present.
But after all, she is not a talent in this field, and she has no idea whether the situation is as Mu Changqing said.
Naturally, I need to ask Liu Lide, after all, he is an expert in this field.
Moreover, if this curved plow is really effective, it also requires a large amount of manufacturing from the Ministry of Works.
Liu Lide looked at the curved plow drawing in his hand carefully, and his eyes slowly became solemn from the beginning.
The originally turbid old eyes are gradually becoming brighter.
Until the last detail was clearly seen, Liu Lide was already excited and his whole body was trembling.
Originally, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he had no idea. After seeing the curved plow drawing in his hand, everything became clear.
"Your Majesty, a magical weapon, a magical weapon."
Liu Lide yelled excitedly.
Chu Zhi clenched his fists hard: "How about Liu Qing?"
"Your Majesty, this new plow is a unique move. Once it is made, the current difficulties in spring seedlings will be solved."
After hearing this, Chu Zhi's nervousness slowly calmed down and his usual smile returned to his face.
"It's so good, Liu Qing, I ordered your Ministry of Works to turn down everything, work overnight, and create a large number of these bell plows."
"Old minister, follow the order."
"I heard from your Majesty that the plow is called Quyuan Plough? Could it be that your Majesty has studied it?"
Liu Lide said in surprise.
"How can I have this ability? It's just that I happened to meet a strange man, and this Quyuan Plough is his masterpiece."
Chu Zhi said lightly.
Seeing Liu Lide's reaction, Chu Zhi knew that the ploughing effect of this curved plow was probably as Mu Changqing said.
In an instant, the irritability that had been weighing down in my heart these days disappeared, and I felt much more relaxed.
"There are such a capable person in my Dayan territory?"
Liu Lide opened his mouth wide and looked disbelief, then said in a hurry.
"I hope Your Majesty will tell the old minister that the residence of the capable people. It would be a pity if such talents did not enter our Ministry of Works."
This is a love for talent.
Not to mention you, even I want to take it into the trap.
Chu Zhi sighed in his heart.
However, judging from these two brief contacts, Chu Zhi also discovered that Mu Changqing's character was unrestrained and free, and he might not be willing to tie him to the court.
Moreover, meeting him in this way was something Chu Zhi had never had before.
In the past, who dared to be careless and unrestrained in front of her?
This natural feeling is an experience that Chu Zhi has never had since ascended the throne.
For a moment, she didn't want to break this way of getting along.
"I will discuss this matter in the future. Liu Qing, thank you for your hard work these days."
After waved his hand and exposed the matter, Chu Zhi looked at Liu Lide and said seriously.
"Affect the order."
Liu Lide replied respectfully, and then hurriedly left with his baby in his arms.
Following Liu Lide's back, Chu Zhi looked outside the hall with his eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It took a while to speak softly.
"Hua Ji."
"I'm here."
A response came from the shadow of the palace.
"Send a team of Yanwei to the near residence in Chang'an County, and you will be responsible for his safety in the future."
"Remember, don't let him discover it."
"Sister obeys the order."

"Youshui? Why haven't you seen you go to that kid's residence these days?"
At dinner, Qin Guangdong saw his daughter beside him snatching the rice absent-mindedly and asked casually.
"ah."
After hearing this, Qin Youshui was stunned, as if he didn't know what he had remembered, and his little face turned red after a while.
Jade stuttered for a while but didn't say a complete word.
"Dad, I, I'm full, go back to my room first."
Um?
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
Qin Youshui's abnormal reaction aroused the old fox's suspicion.
"Old Wu, what has Youshui done during this period? Tell me all the time."
Old Wu pondered for a while, then smiled on his face, looked at the direction of the lady's boudoir and told Qin Guangdong in a low voice.
Qin Guangdong was stunned, and then he was filled with laughter and crying.
"You said that the reason why Youshui didn't go to that kid during this period is because of this?"
