Chapter 1031 I’m thinking about giving your dad a promotion, and there’s no shortage of reasons for this (please subscribe and vote)
When I thought of such a vulgar name as Cheng Jiali, I looked at the proud Cheng Yaojin in front of me.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel very unhappy, but considering the countless people in the world, Li Shimin managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Cheng Qing, did you make this plow?"
"That's natural. Your Majesty must have forgotten that last year my Sanlang encouraged Erlang from Li Weigong's family to go to Linyi to look for three-crop rice."
"Since I found that kind of treasure and successfully tried growing it in the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion."
"The imperial court already wants to vigorously expand its borders. As an important official of the imperial court, Lao Cheng is naturally willing to share the worries of the imperial court and His Majesty."
"The Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion wants to open up so much land but only has a small population, so I'm thinking of giving them some good treasures."
All the important officials of the imperial court, as well as Li Shimin, all looked at this shameless man boasting in front of them with dark expressions.
The implication is that Cheng Sanlang's intelligence was passed down to him, General Cheng.
It's just that in the past, General Cheng had always kept a low profile and was too lazy to show off his wisdom and talents.
But this time, the Tang Dynasty wanted to vigorously expand its borders, and General Cheng felt that he should also work hard, so...
Through the inspiration he got while farming, combined with his superhuman wisdom, he created the Chengjia plow, a good treasure that saves both manpower and animal power.
I just want to dedicate it to His Majesty and the imperial court as a weapon to vigorously expand the Governor's Mansion in Bianjiao Prefecture.
It also wants to benefit the people all over the world, because this plow was invented by Cheng, so he decided to name it Chengjiali.
It is to let people from generation to generation remember the outstanding contributions made by the Cheng family to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ji, who was listening with envy and jealousy, couldn't help but interject.
"I'm talking about Lao Cheng, let's call him Cheng Jiali. There are so many people named Cheng in the world. You might as well just call him Yao Jinli..."
As soon as this statement came out, a lot of rough old men who had long been annoyed by Cheng Yaojin's shameless self-praising words burst into applause.
All the civil servants have dark faces. They are so damn biting about Jinli. Wouldn’t it be better to just call Cheng Yaojinli?
Hearing this suggestion, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel moved while stroking his thick beard like a steel needle.
"Brother Maogong, what you said does make some sense..."
"Okay, okay, don't mess around, Cheng Qing, how does the Cheng family's plow compare to a straight-shaft plow?"
Li Shimin felt that if this guy continued to stumble, he would be unable to control his size 42 feet.
Cheng Yaojin turned around and saw the three dolls were about to turn around, so he quickly raised his voice and shouted.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, Third Brother. When it's over, hurry up and carry your plow over to show Your Majesty."
Cheng Chubi agreed loudly, grabbed the cow rope, easily untied the plow, put it on his shoulders and carried it over.
As soon as Cheng Chubi put down the plow, all the ministers and workers gathered around him, marveling at it.
Even those civil servants who had many opinions about the Cheng family and his son wished they had two more eyes so that they could have a panoramic view of the structure of the Cheng family's plow.
Next, General Cheng patted the Cheng's plow and began to squeak, explaining in detail the difference between this Cheng's plow and today's straight-shaft plows.
Although the Tang Dynasty also had a single-oxen straight-shaft plow, due to the limitations of the straight-shaft plow itself, it was difficult to turn and plowing the land was laborious.
Therefore, it is difficult for the single-ox straight shaft plow to become popular unless the family is poor.
Only when there is no other way, this kind of single-ox straight shaft plow will be used, which is half the result with half the effort.
The Chengjia plow with a simple structure is much easier to make than a straight shaft plow, and because the plow frame is smaller and lighter, the cost is also reduced.
And due to the change of the plow frame, it is very easy to turn and turn the plow.
The operation is much more flexible than the straight-shaft plow. The important thing is to save animal power.
One ox can plow three acres of land in one day, which is not much less than two oxen using a straight-hook plow.
A plow was installed. Since the thickness of the plow is divided into three levels, which decrease step by step, the plow is pushed forward so that the plow arrow points downward and the plowshare is inserted into the ground deeply;
Pull back the plowshare so that the plow arrows come up, and the plowshare is inserted into the ground shallowly. The three-level thickness of the plowshare can meet the different needs of deep plowing, medium plowing, and shallow plowing.
The plow wall has been improved. The plow wall of the curved shaft plow has a round shape and is also called a plow mirror.
The plow mirror can push the turned-up soil aside, reducing forward resistance, and can overturn soil and break grass roots.
In this way, the regeneration of weeds is prevented and the weeds can be turned into fertilizer.
Those agricultural officials who were good at farming also gave their approval to the advantages summarized by General Cheng.
Li Shimin had already seen Cheng Yaojin and his son helping the plow with his own eyes, and now he heard so many complimentary words.
He already had a conclusion in his mind, but he still asked a little uneasily.
"It shouldn't be difficult to operate this plow, right?"
"...Your Majesty, don't worry, after Old Cheng took out the Cheng family plow, it was very smooth in less than an hour.
What’s more, those old farmers who have been farming all year round will have no problem.”
"Since you have said so, Qing Cheng, I would like to give it a try. If this is true, Qing Cheng, you have really made great contributions to the imperial court."
Li Shimin didn't say anything more. He glanced at Cheng Chubi, who was standing in front of the Cheng family's plow, letting his father do whatever he wanted.
"Cheng Sanlang, what are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you help me carry the plow?"
Cheng Chubi glanced at Zhao Kun who was just about to take action. After hearing His Majesty's words, he gave himself a look like "You wish for blessings upon yourself".
I couldn't help but feel extremely evil in my heart. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was wearing a blank slate today, was still so arrogant and domineering.
But what could he do? Cheng Chubi could only helplessly carry the light Cheng family plow and keep up with the pace of the emperor.
Li Shimin deliberately took two steps slowly, and when Cheng Sanlang was walking side by side with him, he smiled sinisterly at the boy.
"Oh, you kid, hey hey hey..."
"Why is uncle laughing?"
Cheng Chubi looked like a defeated general who had abandoned his armor after the Battle of Chibi with the prime minister. His eyes were innocent and his expression was spot on.
It's a pity that Zhang Fei or Guan Yu didn't jump out and beat up Cao Cao of the Tang Dynasty who had a beer belly.
Li Shimin was so angry at Cheng Chubi's ability to pretend to be dumbfounded that he actually laughed out loud.
After taking a look at the people who were left behind, this was truly meaningful.
"Is it true that your eyes are so dim that you can't see that I'm old enough?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi's heart stopped for a moment, and he was about to speak up to defend himself, but unexpectedly, Uncle Li's big slap fell on his shoulder.
"Well done, you can't bear this credit now."
"That's fine, I'm thinking about when to give your father a promotion. There's no shortage of reasons for this..."
"???"
