Chapter 131 What kind of fairy magic weapon is this?
Changsun Wuji is the most tactful and worldly person in the Tiance Mansion team.
Every time you speak, you must gain credit, reputation, and impression for yourself.
He originally planned to be a loyal and remonstrating minister this time, and his analysis was not wrong.
There is indeed nothing wrong with it. If the effect of this "labor-saving" method is not greatly improved, then at this time, it will suddenly cost people and money to develop this thing.
Let’s not talk about whether the people will definitely be grateful to you, but the national treasury will be in dire straits.
Changsun Wuji would never speak without careful calculation, so he was very confident this time.
Li Er will definitely adopt it!
But...he never imagined that this thing could actually improve people's power so much!
It's so exaggerated that you don't even need oxen.
What kind of fairy magic weapon is this?!
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er in shock, "Your Majesty, this matter...is this matter serious???"
Li Er chuckled.
"Let me tell you this, anyway, there is a village that has already used this kind of curved shaft plow. The people there plow the land alternately with their own oxen, and they raise cattle, sheep and pigs at home. Now...
The people of Chang'an will become rich!"
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath.
What kind of village is this?!
A fairy village? Is it possible that a fairy lives in exile?
Richer than the people in Chang'an!
What if it spread to the world?
Changsun Wuji almost immediately thought that all the people in the world would... The material output capacity of the entire Tang Dynasty would also be greatly improved accordingly.
The people are getting rich one after another, the national treasury is full, and the army can continue to train all year round...
this……
Changsun Wuji was simply stupid.
There is such a good thing, why am I going to object after my head was kicked by a donkey?
Li Er chuckled, "How about it, auxiliary machine? Now...do you still think that I am squandering the treasury?"
"Ziming, you understand, right? In this case, you will start working on things early tomorrow morning. Within a month, I will see..."
"No, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, it's not too late!"
Duan Lun and Changsun Wuji immediately became anxious and even interrupted Li Er rashly.
"Wei Chen suggested that we start production tonight!"
"It must be distributed to the people all over the world immediately within ten days!"
Just kidding, it’s spring plowing season now, and there’s another wave of plowing in summer!
If we don’t act now, when will we wait?
If we get it done as soon as possible, we can double the income of the people this year, or even more. In other words...
Even if Li Er did light corvee and reduced the tax burden this year, the treasury's tax on silver and grain could increase by more than 50%.
Only an idiot would wait for such a good thing!
The next move and strategy are in place.
Li Er smiled happily.
Once this year is over...the national treasury's annual revenue has skyrocketed, plus the income from factories. By then, how many factories can you open?
Just thinking about it makes people happy!
Several ministers were working in the Shangshu Province. How could they not know this? Naturally, they were also excited, with blushes all over their faces.
This is really a great merit!
However, what no one noticed was that there was a cloth bag placed in the corner of Li Er's desk, and he didn't know what it was wrapped in...
Li Er smiled,
"You guys, why are you so excited so early? The real holy object hasn't been shown to you yet. It will definitely surprise you in some time."
That's right, what's on the table is exactly a bag of fertilizer!
It was prepared with Li Sheng's recent efforts. However, the quantity is not large, and it is definitely not enough for actual use.
Therefore, Li Sheng did not use or give it to his neighbors in the village. Instead, he kept half of it as materials for subsequent experiments, and gave the rest to Li Er to play with.
Li Er got this thing directly, and one can imagine his excitement.
According to Li Sheng, the yield-increasing effect of this thing is even more exaggerated than that of the Quyuan plow, much more exaggerated!
Li Sheng once secretly told Li Er.
As for the “two or three times” increase in production, I’d rather be conservative!
Actually...hehehe.
And passed on Li Er's move——
Controlled trial!
The best way to test whether an agricultural technology works well is to directly use the same seeds and plant them in two fields with the same soil quality.
One is planted according to ordinary methods, the other is added with materials, and finally the results are compared!
It’s clear at a glance!
This trick is called "Controlled Variable Method", and Li Er was even more happy after hearing it.
Is there such a thing as a unique skill?
But at this moment, the effect has not yet come out, and he is too lazy to elaborate. Anyway, when the time comes, you will know the effect at a glance...
Then Li Er talked about another thing.
It’s also a big deal!
"This curved shaft plow is so powerful, and you all know its value. I plan to reward the person who invented this curved shaft plow. What do you think?"
"Reward?... Well, this matter indeed deserves a reward!"
Duan Lun and Fang Xuanling nodded affirmatively first, but Changsun Wuji frowned again.
"Of course there is no dispute about this matter. I also think that Your Majesty should reward this kind of thing, and others will follow suit in the future. But what title and official position does Your Majesty intend to award? I must pay attention to this matter."
"Well, I've already thought about this. How about granting a county manship and two hundred households in the city?"
After Li Er finished speaking, he looked at these people from the corner of his eyes.
Changsun Wuji nodded first.
"The county man is not bad. It is a great honor and does not cost too much! It will not cause other officials to discuss it... I second my opinion!"
There is nothing wrong with what Changsun Wuji said.
From a practical perspective, considering the information at hand, this is indeed the case.
Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Wei Zheng looked at each other, but couldn't help but smile.
In fact, no matter how you award the reward, it is just a formality now.
Because in the future... Your Highness will return to the throne sooner or later, and everyone will have to call you Your Highness!
However, Duan Lun suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. This Quyuanli has made great contributions, and both the people and the court have benefited from it. If you only grant a title to a county boy, people in the world will probably say that your Majesty is stingy and reluctant to reward the virtuous!"
"But Mr. Duan, if the seal is too high, what should other officials do if they have objections to the order?"
After hearing Duan Lun's objection, Changsun Wuji still insisted.
"Your Majesty, the award is a matter of national honor. Although the merit is great, it is not a military merit. If your Majesty makes you a Duke, we will naturally understand that there is no problem, but won't it leave the impression that the title is lightly awarded to the officials? This
…”
"Your Majesty, you must not forget the lessons learned by Emperor Gaozu!"
Changsun Wuji still felt unreliable.
Li Yuan's previous record was that he dictated more than 2,000 official titles in one day.
Such a proliferation of famous people will not only make the concept of "reward" cheap, but also with so many people wanting to "eat xx households", the common people will definitely complain.
Why do you do such a thankless thing? Anyway...
Changsun Wuji actually had something in his heart that he didn't say. Anyway, this idea has been dedicated to His Majesty. Even if he doesn't give a reward, it won't have any impact... At most, he can build a small temple and erect a memorial tablet for his life. He also
We can't take back the drawings of Quyuanli and the memories in everyone's minds.
If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard...
