Li Shimin sat in the East Palace as usual, following Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to handle government affairs.
At this time, a Xuanjia Guard came in from outside and sent a piece of information to the eunuch, and then the eunuch placed it on Li Shimin's case.
Li Shimin picked up this urgent soundtrack and checked it immediately. After reading it, he suddenly closed it.
"Sage, what happened?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask a question as he looked at Li Shimin's attitude.
Li Shimin said, "Jie Li sent Tuli to attack Xueyantuo, but Tuli survived.
Jie Li whipped Tuli and wanted to confiscate his military power. Now Tuli escaped into our Tang Dynasty for asylum!"
"This is a good thing for the Turkic internal strife. Why does the saint look solemn?" Dou Lu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, asked.
"It's a pity that the saint is so good at sending troops against the Turks, but we can only sit and watch the loss." Du Ruhui sighed, but Du Ruhui still added, "I would like to ask the saint to agree to the protection of Tuli Khan and treat him with courtesy."
"Why?" Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
"One is to divide the internal forces of the Turks, two is to demonstrate the power of our Tang Dynasty, three is also the most important. Tuli has always been a close confidant of Jie Li Khan. He is clear about Jie Li Khan's strength and is good at using military forces. He needs to know himself and his enemy.
” Du Ruhui replied.
"It's just my wish!" Li Shimin nodded, "I plan to award the title of General Tuli Right Guard and the title of Prince of Beiping!
In addition, since Yi Nan withstood the Turks' attack, it means that Yi Nan is also a hero of the times, so he granted him the true pearl Via Khan and gave him a gangster so that he and Jie Li continued to make trouble.
Unfortunately, our Tang Dynasty was unable to go to war due to drought and locust plague. Otherwise, if there was such an opportunity, he might have to take advantage of Jie Li."
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has not lived a good life. He had military disasters that year. In the second year, there were droughts and locust plagues in Chang'an. I hope next year will be a good life. Otherwise, there would be no way to live this life.
But in fact, the hard days of the Zhenguan dynasty were far from over, but it was because of the hard days that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was achieved.
Now the entire Tang Dynasty is gritting its teeth and living, everything is as usual, but everything is renewed.
The exam will be done regularly in January and the results will be released in February.
Lu Cai was waiting for the list article early in the morning, but after reading it from beginning to end, he found that there was no name on the list article.
"Okay, I'll concentrate on the position of Chief of Section 1!" Lu Cai comforted himself in his heart.
But seeing the people around him being ecstatic for the singing title, Lu Cai deeply felt that happiness belongs to them and has nothing to do with him.
Back at the Agricultural University, Lu Cai patted his face, looked energetic, and devoted himself to work again.
Although school has not started yet, Lu Cai has already started to compose the school songs of the Agricultural University according to Li Tai's request and began to collect and organize information on the songs of the twenty-four solar terms. He looked full of energy and his face said he was asking for overtime.
That's why others, with my intentions for his good intentions, handed over some tedious work to Lu Cai.
At this time, Lucai began to show his talent, and almost everything was handled quickly and properly at his hands.
Only now did everyone realize that Lu Cai was very extensive. He was very skilled in dealing with the four departments of literature, mathematics, medicine and Mo. It can be said that he has never seen such a panacea-like character before.
"What's wrong with Lu Cai recently?" When Li Tai came to the Agricultural Academy, he also noticed that Lu Cai had been working and asked.
After all, in Li Tai's impression, although there are many things about Le Ke, now it is mainly about creating school songs and compiling the twenty-four solar terms songs. However, the things that Lu Cai has reviewed now are obviously all mathematics.
It's completely incompatible with Leke!
"I failed the exam, so use my work to cover up my sadness!" Ma Zhou sighed at Lu Cai who was working,
“He has a strong ability to master things and is very good at learning from analogies.
He can handle all the matters of our subjects very smoothly.
I feel that if he puts something in his hands, he can handle it properly."
"So amazing?" Li Tai looked at Lu Cai in disbelief when he heard Ma Zhou's words.
You should know that Ma Zhou was able to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Cai had such potential, which Mao himself had never heard of.
Could it be that this is a talent that was omitted by Zhenguan dynasty? Thinking about how Lu Cai was not on the list, did he pick up a civilian talent who had never been famous in history like Long Aotian?!
Although theoretically, as long as a county’s talents are given a suitable platform and opportunity, they can theoretically become the pillars needed to support the entire country, such as Liu Bang’s heroes in Pei County, Zhu Yuanzhang’s fellow villagers in Fengyang, etc.
But in peacetime, it is almost like a civilian talent to find a needle in a haystack, because every person who keeps his name in history is a strong man who grows up on the shoulders of countless civilian talents. Only in this way can he be famous in history.
"What should I say..." Ma Zhou touched his chin and said, "He handled things a little differently than we are normal people.
We are normal people who deal with one thing when they encounter one thing, but the more things they say, the more messy things become, the more orderly they handle, as if everything is arranged in his heart.”
"Also have this ability?" Li Tai was somewhat shocked when he heard Ma Zhou's words.
Ma Zhou explained: "It feels like every piece of stuff is just a note to him. If you take it out alone, the processing efficiency may not be as good as any of us.
But integrating everything seemed like a perfect chapter for him, not only making it easier for him to handle it, but also the overall efficiency was comprehensively improved.
This kind of person is really strange, but in this case, it will be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination!"
"Huh?" Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard Ma Zhou's words.
Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "Because his ability cannot be reflected in the exam.
As for his knowledge base, he is not outstanding except for the music.
Perhaps it is already considered excellent for ordinary people, but which one of them is an ordinary person who comes to the scientific examination?
In addition, he is not from a wealthy family, so it is almost impossible to make it by relying on the scientific examination."
"Or what if I go and recommend it?" Li Tai said with a little thought.
"King of Yue, I advise you not to be troublesome. Do you think that with your recommendation, who can pass this scientific examination?" Ma Zhou said.
"..." Li Tai was silent for a while when he heard Ma Zhou's words, and smiled bitterly: "This is too heartbreaking!"
Ma Zhou also smiled. This is what Ma Zhou likes Li Tai. He inherited Li Shimin's excellent character and could accept his advice. At the same time, he would occasionally make fun of himself to alleviate the embarrassment between the two.
"Then let's leave Lu Cai like this?" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou.
"Of course not!" Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "Since Lu Cai has this ability, his traits naturally cannot be wasted.
Next, I will give him some heavy burdens to let him know clearly that the imperial examination does not care about him, but we care about him!"
"...Are you going to push your job to him?" Li Tai couldn't help but twitch a few times when he heard Ma Zhou's words!
"No, I'm cultivating him!" Ma Zhou said with a righteous expression, "Cultivate him to become the head of the agricultural department!"
Li Tai didn't know where to complain about Ma Zhou, so he could only change the topic, "Where is Section Chief Du? I want to know how the Quyuan Plough is progressing. It's February now, and spring plowing in March requires Qu
Only by purging the plows.”
"He is trying the latest version of the curved plow in the field!" Ma Zhou said, "The specific effect will not be done until the test is done."
"How can I wait for this?" Li Tai couldn't help but say, "Take me over and have a look!"
When Ma Zhou heard Li Tai's words, he didn't say anything more. He prepared a ox cart to send Li Tai to the plowing field where the experiment curved plow was.
Li Tai pulled the curtain on the ox cart and happened to see the plowing ox dragging the curved plow and working in the field.
With Li Tai's arrival, Du Chuke immediately came up and said, "King of Yue, why are you here!"
"I heard that Mr. Du was testing the curved plow, so I came over and take a look!" Li Tai said, "I don't know how the effect is."
Li Tai looked at the curved plow, which was basically made of wooden mortise and tenon structures, giving people a feeling of being integrated.
Of course, although Li Tai also hoped to get iron, the salt and iron specialization in this era requires special approval for the use of iron. Even if ordinary blacksmiths want to get some iron to make farm tools, there is a record.
Although I can get it, I have a sensitive identity. It would be better if I can avoid touching such things. Otherwise, if the Censor reviewed his own book, how unfair it would be.
Moreover, compared with modern steel, the quality of steel is a little worse at this time, so it will be heavier.
This leads to the use of iron except for some key parts, but overall, wood is enough.
No matter what, with the curved plow, the efficiency of reclaiming the fields by yourself can be further improved.
Du Chuke couldn't help but Chen Pian, "Reported to King Yue, this curved plow is quite useful.
When used, the plow body can swing, which is mobile, easy to till deep plow, and is light and soft. The three ploughing evaluations, plow arrows and plow construction of the curved plow can be used organically to adapt to the different requirements of deep plowing or shallow plowing
, easy to cultivate carefully.
People can save a lot of effort when they use this plough to cultivate!”
"Since it is available, Li Chunfeng will calculate the length, size and weight of the curved plow.
Let each part of the Moke manufactured curved plow be no less than one tenth of a centimeter, so that any part of the broken part can be replaced with a new one immediately.
Our agricultural institutions will first promote this plough during spring plowing this year. When we make achievements, we will present this plough to Aye for national promotion!”
Li Tai arranged the curved plow in an orderly manner, which made Du Chuke nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
To be honest, Du Chuke also agrees that this kind of thing will be used for a year first to see what are the advantages and disadvantages.
It is better to hand this thing over to the court after it is completely perfected.
Instead of just coming out, I hurried to offer treasures. If there is any unclear problem inside, I will just sit on wax.
Ma Zhou, who was standing aside, was amazed at the curved plow and couldn't help but tell Li Tai.
"With this treasure, our cultivation this year will not be as in a hurry as last year. King Yue has thought about what to prepare for cultivation this year?"
Li Tai frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "If these newly plowed lands are to be planted in the autumn of this year, they are to plant some beans to improve the fertility of the land. If they are not ready to plant wheat, there are more places to be planted.
Plant some herbs that replenish qi and blood, and stop bleeding and stuttering. The specific types can be discussed with Liu Shenwei."
Li Tai knew very well that the so-called medical camp was not enough to have a doctor in the past.
In addition to the doctor himself, there must also be a relatively complete logistics facility, and the most basic one is the guarantee of medicinal materials.
If he only threw the doctor to Li Jing, Li Tai would have no clue how much role they could play.
But if the medical camp brings enough medicinal materials to stop bleeding and replenish blood, the wounded who can be saved by a doctor must not be underestimated.
The so-called medical system itself is not just a doctor itself, but a platform to give this doctor a platform to exert his or her own abilities.
Li Tai patted the Quyuan Plough. This thing was originally not available until the end of the Tang Dynasty, but now he took it out himself, which has improved a lot of productivity.
However, Li Tai felt that this was not enough, so he turned his head and said to Du Chuke:
"Chief Du, can Mo Ke continue to study the plow in depth? The advantage of this curved plow is that it saves effort. Can we invent a plow that can consume more energy but can plow more fields."
"Teach effort and heavy work?" Du Chuke couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Tai's words. To be honest, he had never thought about this convenience.
Li Tai nodded and said, "This kind of curved plow is light and suitable for each household. As long as the government rents its ox, it will be basically no problem to plow a hundred acres of land.
But this may not be the most suitable for our agricultural institutions, because the number of land we have is wide, and we are backed by the imperial court, which can easily dispatch resources that ordinary families find difficult to own.
For example, if I say hello to the Animal Husbandry Department, I can use the cattle to pierce the rings as plowing ox, so that I can plow the fields with more force.
So can we collect all resources to design a plough that is suitable for people like me who own a large amount of land and wait for cultivation?"
"I have never thought about this matter. I would like to ask the King of Yue to give me time and let me try slowly!"
When Du Chuke heard Li Tai's words, he humbly admitted his shortcomings. However, when he heard Li Tai's words, Du Chuke himself became energetic because he felt that Li Tai's things were really worth trying.
This invention naturally doesn't matter to ordinary people because it is impossible to use it.
But for the wealthy families who have mastered a large amount of land, if they can invent such things, their efficiency in reclaiming fields will naturally be greatly improved.
Du Chuke glanced at Li Tai and thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the King of Yue hopes to win the help of the aristocratic family.
Yes, King Yue is just the second son. If he covets the country, he can only find a family to join forces.”
If Li Tai knew what Du Chuke was thinking, he would probably only leave two words in his heart at this moment!
