Chapter 320: Spoil Li Shimin
The people of the Ministry of Engineering worked day and night.
Quyuan plough was soon put into use, and the news slowly spread in Chang'an City.
Nine Princesses' Mansion.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that Qin Tian has improved the plow and made a curved plow, which can improve the efficiency of plowing a lot, and now the Holy Lord has ordered the Ministry of Works to rush to work and put it into use."
Ah Fei told the ninth princess the news he heard again, and the ninth princess was a little shocked when she heard the news.
As a princess, she still understands some agricultural things, the straight plow has been used since the Han Dynasty, and it has been used for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, no one has improved it, but why did Qin Tian suddenly improve it?
And listening to what Ah Fei said, it seems that the efficiency is not bad.
For Qin Tian's ability, she was naturally happy.
However, at this time, she was a little cold, and said: "This Qin Tian is extremely greedy for money on weekdays, and he doesn't know how much money he makes when he plays cotton. ”
Ah Fei shook his head: "The Holy Lord was ready to reward him, but he didn't ask for it." ”
"Didn't want to?" The Ninth Princess was a little surprised, because she thought that Qin Tian would definitely want it, but soon, she understood a little bit and had more and more respect for Qin Tian.
She knew that Qin Tian must be a principled person, and he could earn some business money, but he would not earn money like this, which was very beneficial to the people.
In fact, it is easy to understand that although cotton is good, it is planted by powerful families, and after they plant it, they also wear it themselves, and they will never let those ordinary people wear it, and those people can't afford it.
In this way, what if Qin Tian made their money?
But farming, it is related to whether many ordinary people in Datang will be able to eat in the next year, this is a major event for ordinary people, how can Qin Tian make money with this?
The heart that had been suppressed by the Ninth Princess suddenly became eager to try again.
Ah Fei didn't know what the Ninth Princess thought, but suddenly asked: "Your Royal Highness Princess, tomorrow the Holy Lord will go outside the city to make sacrifices, praying for good weather and good crops in the coming year, will you go?" ”
The sacrifice at this time is a very important thing for the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, all the civil and military officials will go, and the ninth princess suddenly had a thought and said, "Go!" ”
Ah Fei nodded in understanding, and then went down to get ready to go.
Time passed quickly, and early the next morning, Li Yuan took the civil and military officials to a piece of land outside the city.
Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, the sacrifice begins and prays for good weather and good weather.
Qin Tian stood in the crowd, originally he was watching Li Yuan's sacrifice, but when he turned his head and saw the Ninth Princess looking at him not far away, his heart suddenly accelerated.
Immediately after, he walked towards the Ninth Princess.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is here too?" Qin Tian asked, and the ninth princess said, "Why, this princess can't come?" ”
"Not really."
The Ninth Princess glanced at Qin Tian and said, "What's on the side is the Quyuan plough you transformed?" ”
"That's right, this quyuan plough is very convenient to use, in addition to the zigyuan plow, I also invented a kind of seeding machine, when the time comes, just pour the wheat seeds into the seeder, with the ox in front of the line, so that the crops planted, very straight."
At this time, after plowing the land, it is generally necessary to pull the ditches with a hoe, and then sprinkle the seeds and cover them.
But in this case, it was too slow, so after Qin Tian went back, he made another seeding machine.
The planter is relatively much larger, a bit like a wheelbarrow, with two long handles, which are mainly attached to the cow.
In addition to this, there is also the place where the seeds are stored, which is more elegant, because the seeds should be sown evenly, so that the wheat should fall no more and no less.
Qin Tian actually said it casually, but after the ninth princess heard it, she was stunned, originally he thought that Qin Tian just made the Quyuan plow, but he didn't expect that even the sowing thing would be invented.
Listening to Qin Tian's narration, if this thing can really work, it will be much more convenient when sowing, and besides, if the wheat is planted neatly, the growth will definitely be much better.
"Did you tell my father?"
"I have already mentioned to the saint that the people of the Ministry of Industry are rushing to make the system, and when the mango is planted, it can be put into use."
The ninth princess sighed, but her heart fluttered.
The reason why she came today was just to take a closer look at Qin Tian, but she didn't expect him to come over and tell herself this, which made her not know how to express her emotions for a while.
In today's Chang'an City, although the matter about the two of them is not as prosperous as before, it is not guaranteed to be mentioned because of the reunion of the two.
Therefore, after the two said a few words like this, the ninth princess found an excuse to leave.
The wind in the suburbs grew stronger, and it was pleasant to blow on people, and one crop after another was plowed over, but a small piece was still left.
After the sacrifice, Li Yuan led people to the front of the field.
"Come, come, let me try this plough too, Shimin, you lead the ox ahead." As Li Yuan spoke, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to do a big job.
And when he said this, many of the civil and military officials who followed him changed their expressions.
In previous years, the sacrifice and morning glory were all done by the prince Li Jiancheng, but this year it has become Li Shimin, so it is clear who is more favored between the prince and the king of Qin, right?
Li Shimin was a little flattered, but he still hurriedly took the order to run to the cow.
This year, he can be said to have made a great contribution, not to mention his own person Qin Tian's improved Quyuan plow and the seeding machine he manufactured, he recovered Gyeongju, and the Tugu Hun was beaten up and down, which was already a great achievement.
If Li Yuan didn't commend him and appease him well, it would really be a little unreasonable.
Li Shimin led the ox in front, Li Yuan held his sleeves and supported the plough alone, although he was born in a nobleman, he did this work every year, and he was quite able to adapt.
So the two of them cooperate quite well.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng stood on the ground, but his expression was solemn, his face was pale, and he was extremely angry.
He is the crown prince and the heir of the Tang Dynasty, why did his father let Li Shimin take the cow?
Does he still have the slightest intention of treating him as a prince?
Li Jiancheng bit his lip tightly, if it weren't for so many people watching, he would immediately throw off his sleeves and leave.
After plowing the land back and forth, the time was already noon, the sun in the sky was gradually blazing, Li Yuan was tired and sweating profusely, and after stopping, he said: "It's not easy to be a farmer, it's too hard, I have to love the people in Datang." ”
Li Yuan said, everyone followed suit, and Qin Tian also said: "What the saint said is yes, on the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." ”
Qin Tian said casually, everyone was stunned, and Li Yuan suddenly shouted: "It's hard work." ”
