Zhao Qing was scolded and retreated repeatedly. Suddenly he staggered and fell to the ground. He quickly got up, knelt down facing Li Shimin, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is all slander, it is all slander, I am wronged!
"
Li Shimin did not listen to his excuse and said to Mr. Gao beside him: "Take his jade pendant and show it to me!"
Eunuch Gao agreed and walked to Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing tried to block him, but Eunuch Gao pushed him away and took his jade pendant in his hand. Li Mu saw it from the side and realized that Eunuch Gao was
A capable person.
Eunuch Gao presented the jade pendant, and Li Shimin fiddled with it in his hand, then put it aside and said: "Zhao Qing, I thought you were an honest and self-restrained censor, but when you play the right words, you often speak fiercely.
Some, but you can still be regarded as a good official. But I didn't expect that you are actually a person who is just trying to gain fame! How do you explain this jade pendant!"
"My lord...this is my family's heirloom!"
Li Mu sneered and said: "Zhao Zhongcheng just said that he came from a poor family. Which poor family can have such a treasure? Can a family with such a treasure be called a poor family?"
"I, I..." Zhao Qing said without hesitation, "Yes, I am the dowry of my wife!"
"Zhao Qing, you are so presumptuous!" Li Shimin pointed at Zhao Qing and scolded: "You dare to change your words in front of me, which shows that there is no truth in your mouth! Are you worthy of being a censor? I am really blind.
, he raised you bunch of trash! Come here, drag him down for me, he will be punished for thirty battles, he will be dismissed from office and exiled to Lingnan, and he will never be able to return to the Central Plains!"
After saying that, Li Shimin threw Zhao Qing's "family heirloom" to the ground, with a crisp sound, and it broke into eight pieces. Zhao Qing fainted when he saw it. He didn't know whether he fainted from heartache or was dismissed from office.
Exciting.
Zhao Yushi was dragged away, and there was silence in the main hall. Li Mu engaged in a verbal battle with the four people, and the more he fought, the braver he became, which made all the officials look at him with admiration. People who did not take him seriously in the past no longer dared to despise him after this incident.
Li Shimin was obviously very angry. Zhao Qing was dragged away for a while, but he was still angry. The officials did not dare to say anything, and it was Changsun Wuji who spoke to resolve the embarrassing situation.
Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the impeachment matter has been dealt with, it's time to talk about business. Don't you have something to announce?"
"Yes!" Hearing this, Li Shimin remembered today's business and stopped Li Mu, who was about to stand at the end of the civil servant team, and said, "Wait a minute, dear, what I want to announce today is related to you."
"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned. Not only he was stunned, but other ministers were also stunned. They had just dealt with four matters related to Zhulu Hou, and were they related to him?
Li Shimin called Li Mu over and said: "Zhuluhou is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, and he doesn't just talk about it. Even when I punished him for being grounded, Zhuluhou still cared about the people and invented a new type of plow. It is the same as the plow used today.
Compared with the plow, it breaks the soil faster and is more efficient, which greatly saves animal power. Adult men can pull it, which is great news for states and counties that lack animal power. After experiments and comprehensive evaluation, it can be compared with the plows currently in use.
Plow, more than twice the efficiency."
"Marquis Zhulu has presented this plow to me and named it 'Zhenguan Plow'. I have discussed with Fang Xiang and others to set up an 'Agricultural Instrument Supervisor' at the Ministry of Industry to manufacture a large number of 'Zhenguan Plow', so that we can start plowing in the spring next year.
, all the counties in the Tang Dynasty can use the Zhenguan plow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bomb exploding, setting the court on fire instantly.
An old minister came out and asked: "Your Majesty, can this Zhenguan plow really be twice as efficient?"
Li Shimin glanced at this person, he was the King of Attendants, and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but I tried it myself, and it's true."
The king immediately said: "I believe that this thing has made great contributions to the country. It will compete with the geniuses of Hou Tianzong. Your Majesty should commend it."
"A commendation?" Li Shimin said: "I also want to commend him, but he is young and has already been named a county prince. If he is awarded another award..."
The king said: "Your Majesty, please tell me that rewards and punishments are clear. If Marquis Zhulu has made such a great contribution, if he is not rewarded, he may be criticized. I will advise you again. Please reward Marquis Zhulu."
All the officials looked at each other in confusion. This king was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Li Mu just said that he did not give any face to the powerful family, but he came out to ask for credit for Li Mu. Why is this? Some people have already seen some tricks and cursed secretly in their hearts.
Wang Guo is indeed a mature man and can think of everything one step ahead.
As a minister, the king is the chief of the Menxia Province. The "three provinces" in the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. The chiefs of the three provinces are equivalent to the prime minister. What he said, Li Shimin must not ignore
Thoughtful.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, then looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "What do you think, auxiliary machine, of what Wang Qing said?"
Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was in charge of the matter. He thought for a moment and said, "I agree that Li Mu's contribution is of great importance and cannot be ignored. I think that Duan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, can be awarded the title of Guanglu doctor.
Li Daliang, the minister of affairs, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Mu, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to minister of the Ministry of Industry. This arrangement is a safe one."
Duan Lun was afraid of death, so he left Chang'an for several years on the pretext of exploring the mountains and rivers. His minister of the Ministry of Industry was basically just a shelf, and Li Daliang usually did the work of the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He promoted Duan Lun from the third rank to the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
It is most suitable to be a second-rank Guanglu doctor, who has rank but no real power. Li Daliang can also use this to clear his name, and Li Mu can also be promoted, which is the best of both worlds. Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Very good, let's do it like this.
Bar."
"I have one more thing to say!" Seeing that the emperor listened to his advice, the king quickly added another sentence.
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Wang Qing, I have already listened to your advice and commended Li Mu, what else do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I think that the arrangement regarding the establishment of the 'Agricultural Instrument Supervision' is not appropriate. Your Majesty, if the Zhenguan plow is only manufactured in the Agricultural Instrument Supervision, even if all the craftsmen in Chang'an are used to make the Zhenguan plow, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the Zhenguan plow in the spring of next year.
In the past, it provided for the needs of the people of the world."
Li Shimin thought it right and asked, "What does Yiqing think we should do?"
Wang hurriedly said: "I think it is better to let each county select some skilled craftsmen to come to Chang'an to learn how to make Zhenguan plows. Let them go back and teach local craftsmen how to make Zhenguan plows. This can greatly improve the efficiency of making Zhenguan plows.
Before spring next year, people all over the world will surely be able to use Zhenguan plows."
Hearing this, everyone understood what Wang had planned. If the Zhenguan plow only came from the Ministry of Industry, the people of that country would only be grateful to Li Mu and the emperor. But if people from various states and counties came to Chang'an to learn how to make the Zhenguan plow, then go back
Teach local craftsmen how to make. You can’t tell who will be credited with this favor. Once you leave Chang’an, the influence of aristocratic families will be greater than that of the imperial court. Take the Wang family of Taiyuan, for example. The craftsmen they sent will return home after completing their studies.
Afterwards, will it be said locally that this new type of plow was invented by Li Mu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and was promoted by the emperor to the world?
