Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

But Qu Yuanli threw the long straight plow for several blocks, which he never expected.

There are countless wastelands in the Tang Dynasty. If the land reform can be carried out smoothly, the promotion of the Quyuanli can more than double the amount of arable land that farmers can open up wasteland.

Coupled with the comprehensive planting of potatoes, Datang's grain output has not only increased ten times, but it has increased nearly twenty times.

Thinking of this number, Li Shimin couldn't calm down for a long time.

He couldn't even imagine the concept of twenty times the grain output.

This will surely be an important turning point for Datang to become prosperous and strong.

lean less...

Everyone returned to the table, and they had many questions in their hearts and wanted to ask for advice.

Li Shimin sat on the stool, reached out and moved the plate of candied fruit in front of Li Chengqian, picked up one and threw it into his mouth.

I drank another cup of tea and suppressed my shock.

Li Chengqian looked at him, frowning, this cheap old man is really rude.

aside...

Wei Zheng saluted and said: "His Royal Highness, I would like to have a systematic understanding of Qu Yuanli, and please give me your advice."

Although he is a civil servant, he has a strong interest in Quyuanli invented by Li Chengqian.

"Yes." Li Shimin echoed: "Chengqian, you can explain it to everyone. I also want to know how you developed Quyuanli."

These words were Li Shimin's last stubbornness, he wanted to see if Li Chengqian could answer.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's demeanor, the image of a proper stepmother, while sighing, he also questioned the authenticity of the matter.

For Li Shimin's thoughts, Li Chengqian only wanted to give him four words, to suffer.

However, Li Chengqian didn't bother to argue with him, after all, their thoughts were not at the same level.

He looked at Wei Zheng and said, "First of all, change the straight and long shafts of the long straight plow to curved and short shafts, and place a rotatable plow disc on the shaft. This will not only reduce the weight of the curved plow, but also It is convenient for the U-turn and turning of the Quyuan plow, which not only saves manpower and animal power, but also makes it more flexible to operate."

"The plow shaft and the plow frame are also added to the curved shaft plow. Pushing the plow shaft can make the plow arrow turn downward, and the plow share can go deep into the ground. If the plow shaft of the curved shaft plow is lifted, the plow arrow will turn upward, and the plow share Going deep into the ground is shallower."

"The plow commentary, plow arrow and plow construction of the Quyuanli are very important structures. If you can skillfully use the Quyuanli, you can meet the different needs of deep or shallow plowing, which is convenient for intensive cultivation."

"I don't know if Zheng Guogong understands clearly when I explain this way."

Li Chengqian really studied Qu Yuanli's structure carefully before he traveled. He had already studied some ancient tools, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

"Thorough!" Wei Zheng nodded uncontrollably, "His Royal Highness's analysis is really too thorough, and His Highness's detailed research really impresses the old minister."

At this time, Wei Zheng really admired Li Chengqian. If he hadn't heard or seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed that Li Chengqian had such abilities.

Li Shimin sat aside and listened carefully to Li Chengqian's explanation.

He listened to what Li Chengqian said, and if he hadn't had a deep understanding of the long straight plow, and if he hadn't developed the curved plow by himself, he wouldn't have understood it so thoroughly.

Li Shimin said: "Chengqian, Quyuanli is not troublesome to make, is it easy to promote?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need for him to hold on to someone's research and development, but it seems a bit petty.

The promotion of Quyuanli is the top priority.

Li Chengqian responded: "As long as there are Erchen's blueprints, Quyuanli is easy to manufacture, and promotion is not a problem."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded.

Sudden……

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, I have a question?"

Li Chengqian said: "Uncle, please tell me."

Changsun Wuji continued: "If we hand over the potatoes to the farmers for planting, if someone can't resist eating all the potatoes, what should we do?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, this is indeed a problem.

Since ancient times, unruly people have been born in poor mountains and rivers. The poorer the place, the worse the folk customs.

It's not the customs or traditions here, as long as life is still tight, and the stomach is not full after eating the last meal, there is no way to be civilized.

Li Shimin raised his head and gave Changsun Wuji an approving look, expressing his affirmation of the question he asked.

Seeing Li Shimin's admiring smile, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed, and after careful thinking, he finally made a wave of political achievements.

Li Chengqian said: "Uncle asked a good question. We can soak the distributed potato seeds until they germinate, because the germinated potatoes contain toxins and are not edible. In this way, the problem of potato seeds being stolen can be easily solved. "

Hearing this, everyone looked surprised.

This potato is too long, it can be eaten under normal circumstances, and it has an excellent taste, but when it sprouts, it becomes poisonous food.

These potatoes were specially distributed to Datang from the heavens.

Changsun Wuji excitedly said: "If it is true what His Royal Highness said, then this potato is indeed a rare food, and we must promote it to the whole country as soon as possible."

"Having solved the food problem, Datang's internal worries have been solved in half."

Since ancient times, the biggest conflict between the court and the people has been food.

Once the people's food and clothing problems are solved, no one will revolt against the court.

On the contrary, if the common people can't even eat enough, they can do any extreme things.

Chapter 83 The Wind of Land Merger

moment……

Li Shimin said: "In this case, then I will officially start the land reform according to Chengqian's intention, but we still need to discuss the details."

"Chengqian, tell everyone what you think."

Li Shimin also thought about and studied the land reform carefully this month. Starting from the Shang Yang Reform in the Great Qin Dynasty, he read the classics of various dynasties and dynasties. Although he had ideas in his mind, he was not mature.

He looked at the confident Li Chengqian, and simply left everything to him, enjoying himself at leisure.

"Yeah." Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I already have a preliminary idea and a specific plan in my heart, let's start like this..."

The next morning.

It was cloudy and rainy.

East Palace...

In the hall...

Li Chengqian participated in the early court for an unprecedented time.

All the ministers in the hall glanced at him from time to time, and it was extremely difficult to meet the prince on weekdays.

The old eunuch Chen Lin stood on the stage and shouted, "If you have a book, you will play it early, if you don't have a book, you will retreat."

Since Li Chengqian wiped out the nine families of the Lu family, people with five surnames and seven Wangs have become much more honest, and they seldom bubble up in the court.

One by one, they all started to tuck their tails and behave in a low-key manner.

at this time……

Changsun Wuji stood up, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Hearing this, the ministers in the court all cast curious glances, it was really rare for Changsun Wuji to play a book.

Who doesn't know that he is Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law, and the two of them hang out together all day long, talking about everything.

Why is it still official today, playing the book in the court, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

The ignorant people are still watching the fun, but the smart people have already seen the way. Some people are going to be unlucky today.

Li Shimin asked solemnly: "Mr. Zhao, what do you want to play?"

Changsun Wuji saluted and said: "Your Majesty, nowadays, around Chang'an City, land invasion cases occur frequently, and land mergers are repeatedly prohibited. Most of the farmers around Chang'an City have become tenant farmers. The people are living in dire straits."

"I am afraid that if things go on like this, it will arouse public anger and shake the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. I also ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of this case."

When the ministers heard the words, their faces showed doubts. What kind of evil wind is blowing today, and Changsun Wuji even mentioned the case of land annexation.

The annexation of land within the territory of the Tang Dynasty was a matter of tacit understanding at all, not only the five surnames and seven kings, the powerful landlords, even the court officials were not in the minority.

Moreover, Li Shimin never explicitly stopped this matter.On the contrary, every time the army is short of food, and the war is short of food, he also points to the sponsorship of these land annexers.

Although Li Chengqian destroyed Fan Yang's Lu family, in a sense, he invisibly pushed the five surnames Qiwang and the landlord Haoqiang together.

"Why did Duke Zhao suddenly mention this matter? The land annexation has already been tacitly understood by everyone."

"Yes, since His Majesty came to the throne, he has never ordered to prohibit this matter."

"This is a big event that affects the whole body. Once something goes wrong, it's not a trivial matter."

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the court immediately exploded, and everyone communicated in low voices.

Li Shimin patted the copybook and shouted: "Silence! Be quiet!"

Hearing this, everyone shut their mouths, waiting for Li Shimin's reaction.

Li Shimin said indifferently: "What Zhao Guogong said is very true."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court. Li Shimin's words caught everyone who didn't know it by surprise. This is not Li Shimin's style.

If it is targeting the five surnames and Qiwang, then he should start with business, not agriculture.

After all, the wind of land annexation involves not only the five surnames and seven Wangs.

It also involved some officials and a group of powerful landlords;

They couldn't figure out Li Shimin's real intention for a while.

Immediately after...

Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and said in grief and indignation.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the phenomenon of land annexation has become more and more serious. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles involved in it."

"They took the fields that originally belonged to the people as their own. How is this behavior different from wolves?"

"Farmers farming on their own land not only have to pay the field tax, but also hand over more than half of the harvested grain to the landlord. This is simply the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty."

"The diligent people have been busy for a year, and finally they can't even eat enough. I want to ask everyone in the court, how can they bear it?"

"Create a name, steal a lot, in order to seize the people's fields, these people are doing everything they can."

"I am heartbroken by this. They have forgotten the reason for the demise of the Sui Dynasty. They violated the principles of the subjects."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, although they felt abrupt, the ministers had the bottom line in their hearts. It seemed that he was going to be serious this time.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Changsun Wuji echoed, "Your Majesty is wise, there are not one out of ten self-cultivating farmers around Chang'an City, and most of them have been forced to become tenant farmers."

"[-]% of the land rent and [-]% of the cattle rent have left many farmers with no food in their homes, mortgaged their children, mortgaged their wives, mortgaged their land deeds, and left many families broken."

"This minister thinks that the case of land annexation and land invasion is imminent and cannot be delayed."

Hearing this, some officials who didn't know much about land annexation were in an uproar with shock in their eyes.

[-]% of the farmland rent, what is the difference between this and murder.

Some officials who participated in it lowered their faces and thought of countermeasures.

Listening to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's words, Wang Shilang's eyes rolled wildly. When others felt desperate for this, a conspiracy emerged in his heart.

He stood up from the queue.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a matter, so don't act rashly!"

Looking at Wang Shilang who stood up, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth raised slightly, the fish took the bait.

Seeing Wang Shilang who stood up, Li Shimin's eyes no longer had the usual disgust.

He thought to himself, this kid Cheng Qian is really amazing, everything that happened from the early dynasty to the present is all within his expectation.

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Wang Shilang, what objection do you have? Do you think what I said is wrong!"

"What, annexation of land! Are you Wang involved in it!"

In order to avoid startling the snake, Li Shimin still pretended to be cold and cold, and went straight to Wang Shilang.

Wang Shilang replied: "The minister is terrified, the Wang family has been loyal and good for generations, and they are dedicated to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget, how many landlords there are in the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how much tax revenue they bring to the Tang Dynasty, once they unite to fight, the people of the Tang Dynasty will eventually lose."
