Chapter 114 The magical effect of Quyuanli shocked Li Shimin
Following the deaths of Zhang Chao and Lin Zixia, all the jailers looked at each other.
They did not expect that the comrades who had been getting along with them day and night would turn out to be Li Mo's accomplices.
And according to Qin Wenyuan's conversation, he was still a dead soldier under a certain person.
The bodies of the two men were like a bomb that sounded the alarm, dealing a heavy blow to their hearts.
Today's jailers, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't know if the other person is also the subordinate of that mysterious person.
The person with the ugliest face at this moment was undoubtedly Li Jing.
As the boss of the Ministry of War, if someone under his command makes such a big mistake, and he doesn't even know who his opponent is, this is really a huge failure.
Li Jing looked at Qin Wenyuan and asked: "Master Qin, whose subordinate is this person?"
Qin Wenyuan did not answer, but looked at the jailers on the left and right.
Li Jing understood and said calmly: "You all, please go down. I want to talk to Mr. Qin about something."
"yes!"
The jailers nodded one after another and then left one after another.
After they left, Qin Wenyuan said: "These two people are subordinates of the mysterious figure Big Dipper."
Then, Qin Wenyuan told Li Jing all the details of the fight with the Big Dipper.
After hearing this, Li Jing frowned slightly, "I see, there is such a sinister organization outside Chang'an City."
"The smallpox in Chang'an was actually caused by them."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "General Li, originally I planned to trick Li Mo today, but as you saw, he died..."
"How about we get together some other time?"
Li Jing nodded, "Then we will meet another day. Mr. Qin, thank you for your help today. I will also need to investigate this organization later."
Immediately, Qin Wenyuan left with Chang Le.
Along the way, the two of them attracted a lot of attention because of their extraordinary looks.
Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le have become accustomed to this, and are completely used to the feeling of being in the spotlight.
They remained speechless for a short time, and finally, Changle said: "Husband, do you think this Tianquan... is more terrifying than Yuheng?"
"You said at that time that Yu Heng was killed by you because he didn't want to leave Chang'an. Is this the case for this Tianquan?"
Qin Wenyuan shook his head, "I haven't officially met him, so I can't make a judgment yet."
"But...since this Tianquan can train a dead soldier like Zhang Chao and Lin Zixia, I think he is a capable person."
"We cannot be careless about such people."
Having said that, seeing his wife's pretty face slightly wrinkled, Qin Wenyuan continued: "Of course, we also have advantages."
"Advantage?" Changle's eyes lit up, "What advantage is it?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled lightly, "We have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and now your husband and I are in Chang'an, but I have General Li, Master Wei and others to help me."
"It can be said that Chang'an is our home court. If Tianquan arrives in Chang'an, he will be bound to live in darkness and will be restrained."
"Do you think this is our advantage?"
After the words fell, Chang Le thought about it and stopped worrying anymore.
Yes, when we dealt with Yu Heng before, my father and the others did not help my husband.
Now, the father has acknowledged the power of his husband, so he will protect his most powerful son-in-law.
Chang Le thought of this, and finally a smile appeared on his lips.
…………
Royal Palace.
After two days of verification, Wei Zheng was finally sure that the Quyuan plow that Qin Wenyuan gave away two days ago could really change the entire agriculture of the Tang Dynasty!
Now, he was wearing an official uniform and holding a plow. He looked like a first-class official. He was walking in the palace holding the farm tools without any burden, which made the guards everywhere snicker.
Wei Zheng also knew about this, and he probably became a clown, but he didn't care, still carried the plow on his shoulders, and rushed towards the main hall without changing his expression.
Manna Hall.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and listened to the reports of several nearby ministers below.
"I report to Your Majesty, Wu Wei's letter, that in recent days, our army has been investing in antidotes for smallpox, forgetting sleep and food, and has successfully solved the threat of smallpox."
"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that recently, refugees from Wuwei have stopped flooding into the customs due to the control of smallpox in Wuwei, and have returned to their homeland of Wuwei."
"Your Majesty, the antidote to smallpox presented by Qin's miraculous doctor is now being imitated throughout the Tang Dynasty. I believe that soon, in the Tang Dynasty, we will no longer be afraid of the evil disease of smallpox."
"Report to Your Majesty..."
Report to Your Majesty...
Good news, one after another.
What Li Shimin heard was really Long Yan Dayue.
Now, because of the smallpox antidote offered by Qin Wenyuan, not only was the entire Tang Dynasty saved, but even he himself felt that Qin Wenyuan, whom he had never met, was extremely pleasing to his eyes.
"Thanks to my silly girl and her husband Qin Wenyuan, who she decided to stay with for the rest of her life. Otherwise, I would really have become a sinner for the ages."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh.
It is hard to imagine that if smallpox had not been solved, not to mention the number of people who died of the disease, more people would starve to death in various places.
Because the Tang Dynasty is now too short of food, and Wuwei is an important source of food for the Tang Dynasty.
If the Wuwei smallpox disease goes unchecked, all the people in the north of the Tang Dynasty will suffer.
Terrible news will really come! By then, countless people will starve to death!
At that time, under the chain effect, enemy countries such as Turks, Tibet, and Goguryeo would join forces to besiege the Tang Dynasty.
Then Datang really couldn't stand it!
Therefore, Qin Wenyuan not only saved the life of Datang, but also saved the Han nation!
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you not to be too happy too soon."
Fang Xuanling on the side suddenly interrupted: "Although the smallpox has been solved, Wuwei has been paralyzed, and the food originally planned to be distributed to various places in the north for the winter has also disappeared."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Although smallpox has been cured, the food problem has still not been solved."
Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked: "Oh? How do you say this? I remember, didn't Chang'an transport a batch of grain to Wuwei?"
Fang Xuanling bowed and said: "Transporting food is only temporary after all. At present, the Tang Dynasty is in dire straits and is in urgent need of cultivating the land and growing food."
"I know this. I will tell the world and let the people grow food." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, things are not that simple." Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Smallpox has left farmers all over the north with no time to take care of their fields."
"If I guess correctly, more than 80% of the fields in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty need to be plowed to loosen the soil."
"It takes time to loosen the soil and plow the ground, but time is running out now. By the time the people have plowed the fields, it will already be winter."
"The best time to sow wheat will be missed!"
Fang Xuanling's words made Li Shimin suddenly realize.
yes.
Affected by the locust plague, the people must not be cultivating the fields.
Even if you want to sow seeds, you must first plow the field.
But now, it's already October.
If you delay any longer, you will miss the best opportunity to sow wheat.
The harvest in the coming year can also be imagined.
What to do? What to do? What to do.....
Li Shimin's head was spinning.
The smallpox had just been cured, and the matter of plowing the land had become a big problem again.
This emperor is really annoying.
Just when Li Shimin was having a headache about plowing the land.
The eunuch at the door shouted to the palace.
"Your Majesty, please advise Wei Zheng, Lord Wei, to ask for an audience!"
"Why is he here? Don't you see that I am upset?"
Li Shimin said impatiently.
He didn't want to see Wei Zheng right now. Wei Zheng had not come to the court because he was ill in the past few days. Now that he is here, doesn't it mean that he is not sick at all?
Li Shimin has no time to deal with Wei Zheng's small matters now. He just wants to solve the issue of farmland in the north.
However, the eunuch shouted again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei said that he has brought a farming artifact to the Tang Dynasty!"
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly boiled.
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his eyes shining.
Farming artifact?
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his eyes shining.
It really comes to whatever you want.
He was worried about farming, but his important minister Wei Zheng brought the so-called farming artifact...
This is wonderful!
Li Shimin quickly said: "Immediately declare Wei Zheng to enter the palace!"
Regardless of whether the matter was true or false, Li Shimin still announced his entry into the palace first.
The eunuch's voice immediately sounded outside the palace: "Xuan, advise the official Wei Zheng to enter the palace~"
Finish shouting.
Wei Zheng, who was originally a civil servant, appeared in the eyes of the officials carrying a bent plow.
He looked really funny now, and he strode in quickly.
"My lord, Wei Zheng, pays homage to Your Majesty."
In the Tang Dynasty, even in formal occasions such as the court, kneeling and worshiping were frowned upon, so when Wei Zheng came to the palace, he only bent down to salute, but did not kneel down.
"Excuse me, Wei Qing. I heard that you brought a farming artifact. I wonder what kind of artifact it is?" Li Shimin asked straight to the point.
His eyes were shining, and he didn't care about Wei Zheng's funny look at all, staring intently at the bent plow on his back.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the farming artifact that I brought."
Wei Zheng put down the bent plow on his shoulder and placed it on the main hall.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were astonished after seeing the whole picture of the bent plow.
They couldn't believe that this rake, which was crudely made and had a curved and short plow arm, was the so-called plowing and artifact?
Wei Zheng, are you kidding us?
All the civil and military officials smiled helplessly, not knowing why Wei Zheng, who was usually steady, became so strange.
Not only the civil and military officials, but also Li Shimin's face suddenly fell when he saw the bent plow.
Can this damn thing plow the ground?
Also, have you ever seen any cultivator with such shabby artifacts?
I'm afraid this thing would be thrown on the street and no one would want it, right?
Li Shimin instantly felt that he was being played.
"Wei Qing, is this the cultivation and artifact you brought to me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng cupped his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this plow was dedicated to the Tang Dynasty by the miracle doctor Qin, and it also has a letter from His Highness Changle."
"I didn't hesitate. After two days of research, I quickly brought the rake and the letter."
What? Produced by Qin Shenyi?
If you tell us earlier, then we won’t be sleepy!
The civil and military officials in the court were astonished and began to stare at the bent plow seriously.
Qin Wenyuan has been in the limelight recently. He has cured smallpox and won the top prize. He is clearly a representative figure of the younger generation. They dare not ignore any of the other's new creations.
"Letter from Changle?"
All the officials were surprised and didn't know why Wei Zheng mentioned Changle who had disappeared.
Yes, after Chang Le married Qin Wenyuan, Li Shimin became too angry, so Chang Le disappeared.
Even a month later, regarding the truth about Changle, except for a few important ministers who knew the truth, other civil and military officials believed that Changle was no longer in Chang'an.
At this moment, when he heard the letter from his daughter Changle, Li Shimin's depressed face cheered up again.
No matter how useful the plow was, the first thing he cared about was what his daughter Chang Le Xinli was talking about.
The letter from my daughter proves that she, a silly girl, no longer complained about me slapping her... right?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was not sure, but he was somewhat hopeful that he would believe the content.
Therefore, he skipped the exploration of Quyuanli on the spot and said directly: "Where is the letter? Wei Qing, please submit it quickly!"
Wei Zheng immediately handed the letter to his chamberlain, who then handed it to Li Shimin.
Opening the letter, Li Shimin quickly read it.
"It's definitely Changle's handwriting."
Li Shimin murmured in a low voice, and then began to browse. The officials did not dare to disturb Li Shimin who was in a serious state.
There was a lot in the letter, which probably meant that she missed Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou, and hoped to have the opportunity to meet them.
After reading it, Li Shimin sighed and showed a father-like look. He had not seen Chang Le for a long time, and his anger had long been completely wiped out by missing him.
He planned to take his queen to take a good look at his daughter after a while.
Now that Qin Wenyuan is so arrogant and unmatched in the limelight, it is impossible to expect Changle to run back crying on his own, so he can only pull off his old face and go visit.
Immediately, Li Shimin took a deep breath and began to pay attention to the bent plow.
The letter also mentioned sideways that this broken plow was indeed made by Qin Wenyuan.
"I suddenly believe that this plow may really change the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty."
"It's just that, everyone, can you see how famous this plow is?"
This time, the officials in the Manlu Palace were no longer amazed.
Instead, he stared at Qu Yuuli, thoughtfully.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
only……
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary broken plow.
The only difference is that the workmanship is a bit strange.
The plow arm was greatly shortened, and a plow disc similar to an axis was attached.
But what's the use?
A group of ministers were discussing non-stop in the main hall.
After discussing it for a long time, there was no result.
Li Shimin covered his forehead, not planning to rely on these amateurs to succeed anymore.
"Where is the Minister of Industry?"
"I'm here!"
Lin Youwei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, walked out of the crowd.
"Look, what's so unusual about this curved plow?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Lin Youwei bowed and saluted, he walked straight to Quyuanli.
The Minister of Industry was in charge of all agriculture and construction in the Tang Dynasty. He also had a lot of research on farm tools and so on.
Among all the officials present, he was the only one who was considered an expert, and he also knew Qin Wenyuan the most.
"Hmm...change the straight arm into a curved arm, and change the long arm into a short arm?"
Lin Youwei murmured to himself while gesturing in the air with his hands.
It's like making a project sketch.
"Hiss~ You can adjust the depth of the soil at will, and farming will be easier. Let me take a look!"
Lin Youwei knelt down and gently stroked the Qu Yuan Li.
Gradually, a hot light emerged from his eyes.
"Plough disc? Core rotating shaft? Add a plow disc to the curved plow, hiss, so you can control the direction of rotation!"
Because Lin Youwei didn't speak loudly.
Only a few people nearby could hear him.
Li Shimin could only hear a general idea, and asked anxiously: "Lin Qing, what is this plow like? Is it really as vivid as Wei Qing said?"
Just after Li Shimin finished asking questions, Lin Youwei shouted loudly, shocking all the officials in the palace.
"His Majesty!"
"On behalf of all the people in the world, I would like to thank the miracle doctor Qin for once again helping the world!"
What?!
Not only Li Shimin, but also all the officials were confused.
What benefit can a small broken plow bring to the world?
Isn't this nonsense?
Wei Zheng on the side seemed to have anticipated the outcome, and remained unfazed by the honor and disgrace.
"Master Lin, are you exaggerating?"
Changsun Wuji was startled by the loud shouting just now. In addition, it was Qin Wenyuan who stole his son's wife, so he was naturally a little unhappy. "It's just a small bent plow, how can it help the world?"
Lin Youwei didn't care so much. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Ahem, Your Majesty, Lord Changsun, and all of you. I'm not exaggerating. The birth of this plow has at least made people in the Tang Dynasty
The economy will speed up in 30 years!”
"Thirty years?!"
All the officials exclaimed in unison.
My dear.
Did Lin Youwei take the wrong medicine?
Isn’t it a fantasy to improve the economy in thirty years?
