Section 0166 Asking for the 20,000 Young Men (Three Watches)
Li Shimin stepped forward and replied to Li Yuan's words with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Back to my father's words, this is the thing. Erchen brought Xiaomu's horse into the palace, and Xiaomu seemed to be afraid that Erchen would sacrifice the horse to you. But in fact, it is not, Erchen only wants Xiao Mu to explain a few things to his father here. ”
Li Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the maids and eunuchs to retreat.
When there was no outsider here except Peng Hai, Li Yuan turned around: "Xiaomu, there is a table in the imperial history, saying that in order to please Changping, you will not collect the vegetables of tens of thousands of acres of land, just to see the boundless sea of golden flowers." You explain one or two. ”
"Sage, flowers will bear seeds, and the small people want seeds."
"Seeds?" Li Yuan asked.
"It's oil extraction, Xiaomin calculated at the beginning, one mu can produce about one stone and a half of seeds, and the actual oil output is about fifty catties. The rest of the oil residue can be made into a good feed. ”
"Oil?"
Li Yuan came to be interested, and most of the current oil in the Tang Dynasty is flaxseed oil, which is the sesame oil in modern times. There are some other oils, but none of them are rapeseed oil.
"Yes, it's vegetarian oil."
"Let me taste it." Li Yuan didn't suspect that Liu Mu would go crazy, just to let Changping put tens of thousands of acres of land to see the sea of flowers and something like that. But there must always be an answer to the imperial history.
Li Yuan said again: "Erlang, what did you ask Xiao Mu to explain?" ”
"Father, there are two things, one is that Xiao Mu wants to ask for the 20,000 young men who everyone avoids. The other thing is that the horse is very different, and it seems to have a good idea. ”
"Let's talk about horses first." Li Yuan got up and followed Li Shimin to Liu Mu's horse, and what Li Shimin showed Li Yuan was a horseshoe.
The father and son saw Liu Mu's long sigh of relief at the same time.
The expression was as if they really wanted to take the horse just now, and Liu Mu was reluctant.
"Xiaomu."
"Saint, this is called horseshoe iron, and the iron is burned red and iron nails are nailed to the horse's hooves. Horseshoe is like a human fingernail, it will continue to grow, keep changing, and it will not hurt. And the horse originally ran on its own, but the back of a person is heavier, the horse's shoe is easy to wear, adding this iron palm, not only reduces wear, but more importantly increases the grip. ”
The term grip is magical.
Yanagi made a very vivid analogy, comparing the flat palms on the ground with the fingers clasped on the ground.
"Good. I want to reward you, and I will reward you very much. ”
"Sage, those 20,000 people are young and strong, and this iron requires strength. What's more, Mu's family hasn't picked out anyone yet, and wants to pick 300 people from here. ”
"Add a hundred, and give you four hundred writers." Li Yuan laughed.
Li Yuan personally rode on the horse and tried it twice, and then asked Peng Hai to personally take all his horses in the palace, and Sanyuan asked the blacksmith of Liumu to nail the horseshoe.
"Xiaomu, and the state, is this horseshoe in time?" Li Yuan asked.
"Sage, it's too late. We don't have so much iron, but don't worry, I'm going to open a mine in Yaozhou, and there is a new way to practice iron, if it goes well, ......, if it goes well, ......"
Liu Mu didn't dare to speak.
Why?
In this era of the Tang Dynasty, charcoal was still used to make iron, the temperature of charcoal was limited, and what came out of the ore was not iron, but a kind of sponge-like solid iron, with a lot of impurities, and it needed to be forged many times to become iron.
This is also the origin of the name of the hundred steels in the Tang Dynasty, which had to be forged a hundred times to become steel.
Datang's current annual steel output is less than 1,000 tons.
1,000 tons is exchanged for Datang's current data, which is 2 million catties.
This amount is not enough for even a high-rise residential building in modern times.
"Can you not say it?"
The Tang Emperor and the Tang Qin King waited for a long time, but they waited for such a sentence. Li Shimin was angry at the moment: "Little carpenter, don't think that this king will not dare to beat you." ”
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "That's it, there are 100,000 catties, I will reward you." ”
"Say." Li Shimin pressed Liu Mu again.
"One hundred thousand stones." Yanagi finally spoke.
Hearing this figure, Li Yuan's father and son were petrified on the spot, and Liu Mu alone was five times the annual steel output of Datang in a year.
Yanagi is already pushing down that number.
That's 5,000 tons of steel, which is not enough for a medium-sized residential area to build a building. In later generations, those with an annual output of less than one million tons were defined as small steel mills, which were small factories with low production capacity that were shut down.
After a long time, Li Yuan turned his head with a cold face: "Xiao Mu, what do you want so much iron for?" ”
"In exchange for money, there are now ten sheep in an iron pot on the grassland."
Li Yuan laughed, it was a sheep again.
"Go, go. Take those 20,000 people away, and I will give you another 30,000 stone of grain, and at least tens of thousands of catties of iron will be seen before the end of the year. ”
Liu Mu was not in a hurry to leave: "Sage, this weather is hot, Xiaomin has a place to go, you might as well go with Xiaomin to relax." There are a lot of good things hidden in the small people, and you will definitely like it. ”
Li Yuan raised his head with his eyes closed.
Li Shimin was very nervous, and he knew very well that Li Yuan's decision at this time also implied an attitude towards himself.
Li Yuan thought a lot, a lot.
For example, the dispute between the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Palace.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Li Yuan spoke: "Erlang, you personally go to Jing Zhaoyin to spread the meaning of me. All kinds of large and small cases in Chang'an City are reviewed by the three provinces of capital punishment, and heavy punishments must also be thought twice, even if it is only a small mistake punishment, it must be mainly admonished. ”
"Yes, son." Li Shimin knew that this was actually telling him not to kill people indiscriminately.
Especially related to the Prince's Mansion, let Chang'an City calm down a little.
After Li Shimin replied, Li Yuan asked Liu Mu: "Xiaomu, how do you arrange it." ”
"Sage, you and Xiaomin go to Sanyuan together, then go to Baishui in five days, and then go to Yaozhou in ten days. I think there is a place with excellent scenery in Yaozhou, and a simple palace has been built. At that time, you will pick someone in the palace to go to the summer together. ”
"That's it." Li Yuan agreed.
Li Shimin had no expression on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.
There is no need to kill people anymore, as long as Li Jiancheng doesn't mess around, in this extraordinary period, give himself half a year, and Chang'an City will be settled.
Mihara.
Su Dingfang was manipulating the army, but he never expected that Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would only bring a hundred forbidden troops and come to Sanyuan with Liu Mu.
Li Yuan did not feel the slightest uneasiness in his heart, and it was impossible for the rebellion to happen again.
His son Li Shimin will be very careful to deploy the troops around here, and if there is a little mistake, Li Shimin will lose more than he can imagine, so Li Shimin will not slack off.
Su Dingfang knelt down on one knee to greet Li Yuan.
"You ......, I seem to have seen you."
"Sinner Su Lie." Su Dingfang changed one knee to two knees and fell to the ground.
Su Dingfang calls himself a sinner, this is not wrong, he has been with many people over the years, it can be said that he has been fighting with Datang, and he is fighting very fiercely.
