Wang Lang pointed at Xin San Ling in the distance and shouted angrily.
The temple suddenly fell silent, and all the officials were speechless. Liu Xi was also the same. His eyes widened and he was silent for a long time. Then he said helplessly: "My lord, please sit down first. We will discuss this later...", Stubborn
The old man sat down mumbling, and looked at Pang Tong with anger in his eyes. Pang Tong smiled bitterly, it seems that the journey of the three orders will not be too smooth. This is what happened during the first court meeting.
With Wang Lang's words just now, he was originally going to propose to the ministers that Pang Tong be the third commander. Sun Quan, who was performing a ceremony, was also a little silent. He felt that it might not be a good time to jump out and say this. When he looked at the emperor, the emperor was also
Shaking his head, Liu Xi obviously wanted to skip this ceremony. In this case, Sun Quan did not mention it again, which made this court meeting very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang got up in time and broke the silence in the temple. He said: "Your Majesty, two new machines have appeared in the Gongfu. I have personally seen them. Among them, Ma Pushe led twenty-three craftsmen.
They improved the plow. They changed the straight and long shafts to curved shafts and short shafts. They also put a rotatable plow disc on the shaft head, making the plow frame smaller and lighter, making it easy to turn around and turn, and the operation was flexible.
Even an old man can control it..."
"I saw the finished product and it has been promoted in several counties in Sili. The people are very happy. It can save manpower and eliminate the need for livestock... After this product is promoted, it will probably increase the grain output of the Han Dynasty by several figures.
I would like to report to your majesty, please order the Gongfu to forge this thing with all its strength and promote it to the whole world!" Zhuge Liang said calmly, but everyone was shocked and started talking.
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this. He was about to praise Ma Jun. He turned around and saw that Ma Jun was not among the officials. Zhuge Liang also saw the emperor's thoughts and said helplessly: "Ma Gong is still developing a
Novel objects are extremely dangerous. He doesn't trust other master craftsmen to operate them himself, so he has been on vacation these days..."
Liu Xi nodded. Ma Jun rarely came to the temple and rarely participated in court meetings. He knew this. Ma Jun was probably the most unusual minister in the temple, but the emperor just favored him. After all, every time he
The things he made made the big man undergo earth-shaking changes. Liu Xi asked again: "What about the second thing? What is it again?"
"New type of rollover, Magong General has improved the rollover..." Zhuge Liang said again, and all the officials nodded. Although they did not think highly of craftsmen, the more things that are beneficial to farming and mulberry farming, the more naturally.
The better, the temple will reward those farmers who produce amazing food, let alone the manufacturers of such equipment that is beneficial to farming.
Everyone praised Ma Gong's great achievements, and the silent atmosphere just now dissipated.
Just as Zhuge Liang sat down, Deng Ai stood up again and said: "I...I...I...I have reported that the...new rice obtained from Jiaozhou is called...Zuo by the locals.
..Occupied the city early...I personally went to see it...and saw...the best ones among them are...drought-tolerant, and can grow even in dry land that lacks water. This crop is very suitable for those of the Han Dynasty.
Areas where extensive farming is impractical due to insufficient water sources...."
"In addition, this kind of rice is very adaptable. It grows in any place. Even in areas outside the Great Wall, it can grow... grow... grow... grow, and the growth period is... again.
..and short. It only takes 50..more than 10 days from planting to harvesting. If it can be combined with late rice...it can...can...become a double-cropping rice, and the grain yield will be large...large-scale...increased
..Increase." Deng Ai said with difficulty.
Liu Xi's eyes widened and he asked: "Is that true? It was only promoted in Yangzhou area before. How did you know this?"
"I...I...categorized these early occupied cities, and set up many different farming test fields in different areas...carried out farming again and again...
After many times of sorting, sorting, and classifying, we finally got the fine varieties... and came to these conclusions."
"Okay! Okay! What a happy event, what a great happy event! There are machines made by Ma Gong, and there are rice crops found by Deng Jun... Hahaha, God bless the man!!" Liu Xi really lost his composure this time.
, after hearing so much good news, even the severe pain in his heart was much lessened. He said happily with a smile on his face.
"God bless the man! Congratulations to Your Majesty!!" All the officials immediately stood up and bowed to the emperor. Liu Xi accepted the bows from everyone, but his face was still filled with joy. This time, the court meeting went particularly smoothly. Everyone presented the report
, the emperor was extremely gentle and indulgent, and even for some unreliable memorials, he was not angry or reprimanded.
Just after the court meeting ended, the emperor took San Ling and Deng Ai and quickly walked to the Houde Hall. Sitting in the Houde Hall, the emperor finally couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly. Zhuge Liang was also a little happy in his heart.
This was the first time he saw the emperor so happy since he ascended the throne. Liu Xi was as happy as a child and couldn't help asking again and again:
"Kong Ming, that machine can really allow children and the elderly to work in the fields??"
"That's right, Your Majesty."
"Then the new truck can irrigate more farmland?"
"Indeed, I went to see it myself..."
"When can you take me to see it? I want to go and see it!"
"Your Majesty, you can do it anytime. Why don't we go see it tomorrow?"
"No, no, take me over to see you later!"
"Here you go!"
"Shi Zai, the kind of rice you mentioned... can really grow outside the Great Wall? Can it be done in Liangzhou?"
"It should be possible, Your Majesty, I have arranged people from all over the world to test it..."
"What about Youzhou?"
"Your Majesty, I have tried it in various... various... places, and it is all OK."
"What about Bingzhou?"
Deng Ai was speechless and just looked at the emperor blankly. After a moment, Liu Xi seemed to realize that he was a little too happy, and quickly became serious and said: "In this way, the grain yield will be higher, and the people will also be happy."
You will be able to eat, no matter it is a famine or something, no one will starve to death. Well, you guys have made a great contribution this time!"
"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Everyone bowed, Liu Xi hurriedly asked them to stand up, and then ordered: "Shizai, you should immediately arrange the promotion of new rice. Also, perhaps this is not the only novel crop in the world.
Rice, I feel that there may be such strange crops besides the Han Dynasty. I want you to send people to various places, overseas, and outside the Great Wall, to find some crops that the Han Dynasty does not have. Even if it is bought with thousands of gold, I think it is worth it!
"
"Thank you!" Deng Ai said. Obviously, this time's strange crops allowed the emperor to discover another way to increase grain production. He went all out to search for crops. This was not a very difficult thing. After Deng Ai agreed,
The emperor then handed over the matter of promoting crops to him, and after asking again whether farming could be done outside the Great Wall, he let Deng Ai leave.
Deng Ai left, leaving only three orders still in Houde Hall.
Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, many emperors sent people overseas to seek immortality and beyond the Great Wall, but I have never heard of an emperor going overseas to seek grain for the people. Your Majesty's merits will be passed down through the ages..." Liu Xi shook his head.
He shook his head and said disapprovingly: "This is nothing. Let's talk about this mechanical thing. I want to reward those craftsmen myself."
"Your welcome!" Zhuge Liang paid his respects. Liu Xi then looked at Liu Yi and said: "Don't get involved in these things. You can go to Bingzhou for me... There is a report saying that the local officials in Bingzhou are forcing
You must find out the anti-local barbarian people, suppress them, and defraud them of military honors. If there is such behavior, no matter who is involved, you can deal with it!"
"Sincerely."
"Shi Yuan..." Liu Xi then looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong stepped forward to bow. Liu Xi said gently: "There are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite. As for me, I'm going to talk to Kong Ming."
Go outside the city and take a look at the machinery. For the time being, I would like to trouble you to take people to deal with the memorials from various places. You can ask your subordinates more. They know how to deal with them. If there are memorials that you dare not deal with, just
Just stay and wait until I come back."
"Your welcome." Pang Tong promised, and Liu Xi couldn't wait to let Zhuge Ling take him to see the new machines. A carriage was prepared at the Huangmen Gate in the palace, and Liu Xi sent someone to inform the queen, and then he and Zhuge Liang
After leaving the palace and sitting in the carriage, the emperor was still asking about the situation in the palace. Zhuge Liang answered one by one, "What is Ma Gong busy with now?"
"I don't understand either. How do you say it? It's a weapon that makes a deafening sound and can also emit fire. Ma Gong explained it to me, but I didn't understand it at all. It is said that this is something Ma Gong knew from the alchemist.
, I have been studying it for many years, and now I am gradually getting some results. Unfortunately, it is too dangerous, and three craftsmen have died unfortunately... Even Ma Gong..."
"Now he also has some tinnitus, he can't hear words very well, he has been injured several times, and his whole body is covered with scars...it's unbearable to look at...sigh."
Liu Xi's face gradually became serious, and he gave serious instructions: "We must ensure the safety of the craftsmen and the safety of Ma Gong. Even if you don't need that thing, don't let Ma Gong get into trouble. You will inform him later."
He, don't allow him to put himself in danger!" The two talked and finally arrived at their destination. As soon as they arrived at their destination, Liu Xi hurriedly walked out of the carriage, and Zhuge Liang led him to a farmland.
This is a testing ground for the Gongfu. When the craftsmen learned that the emperor was coming, they were naturally extremely frightened. Liu Xi talked to them cordially and then wanted to see their new plows. When the craftsmen took them
When the plow came out and turned over the land, Liu Xi smiled broadly. He even ignored Zhuge Liang's objections and stepped into the farmland himself, pushing the plow and turning it around on the land.
lock up.
"Okay! That's great!" Liu Xi stroked the plow, just like a father's love for his child.
"Kong Ming..."
"His Majesty?"
"After hearing the good news today... I can finally close one of my eyes with peace of mind. There is another one, and I don't know when I will be able to close it..." Liu Xi looked up at the scorching sun, confused.
said.
"Your Majesty?" Zhuge Liang asked worriedly.
Liu Xi looked at him, grinned, and then said, "Does this plow have a name?"
"Not yet."
"How about calling it Yankang Plow?"
"Very good."
"And that new car, let's call it Yankang car... By the way, what's the name of that rice?"
"Is Your Majesty talking about Yankangdao?"
"Hahaha, yes, I'm talking about Yankang rice! This is a good name."
