Chapter 412;(1/2)
Chapter 412: The Lord of Nine Five smiles wildly at the sky
In the southwest corner of the Imperial City West Garden:
There is a square piece of five acres of land here for the emperor to plow in spring every spring. Since ancient times, people have believed that food is the most important thing, and many emperors have to cultivate a piece of land himself to set an example for the people.
Few people come to the West Garden in normal times, but today is different from the past. More than 200 southern yamen imperial guards are in full armor and are stationed in four corners. Li Shimin and the six prime ministers are hiding in the corner and don’t know what they are saying.
A group of civil servants formed a circle, chattering as lively as the east and west cities. The generals naturally would not stand with the civil servants. They stood on the other side without caring about it, talking and laughing.
Niu Jinda was afraid of quarreling at the emperor and prime minister who were discussing major issues there, so he deliberately lowered his voice;
"Hey, I'll tell you brothers, Brother Shubao is doing this. It's time to come yet. It's time to wait for a stick of incense."
Duan Zhixuan, who had the strongest relationship with him next to him, spoke in time;
"My brother is a little worried. Shubao is still working in the camp. His Majesty did not communicate with him in advance, so he came slowly, but he had already sent someone to call him. I'm afraid he's on the way, so we'll wait with peace of mind."
Niu Jinda is careless to others, but he is obedient to his brother's words, because Duan Zhixuan saved his life twice.
And every time he took action, it was his most dangerous moment. The Duan brother was seriously injured twice before he pulled him back to the sun from the thief's general's iron spear. Otherwise, Niu Jinda would have been born again.
Hearing Duan Zhixuan's comfort, Niu Jinda immediately stopped and bent down respectfully;
"It's my brother, I won't wait patiently anymore."
Yuchi Gong next to him was so well-behaved that he felt very happy and couldn't help but say something;
"Brother Duan, you can only cure him, a common man. If you are not here, that good guy will not see him arrogant and domineering."
Duan Zhixuan said with a casual smile;
"My brother is straight-hearted and is a person who is unrestrained on weekdays. I want you to laugh at me. I hope Brother Yuchi will be more generous and don't have the same knowledge as him."
A group of generals looked at Duan Zhixuan bowing, all raised their hands and clasped their fists and bowed, and they all said a few words of scenes to deal with it. Yuchi Gong smiled honestly;
"I just said casually, brother Duan, what are you doing? Don't do this like this, so I'm so embarrassed that I can't speak."
Niu Jinda watched Yuchi Gong talk to his brother, but it was hard to get in. He just stared at him and muttered a few words about the old killing...
In the circle surrounded by civil servants here, there is a strange plow quietly placed on the ground, which is very different from the straight plow that everyone has seen. Its biggest feature is that it also has a curved curve.
I heard that this plow was made by a famous blacksmith in the Bo Mansion of Kaiguo County, Lantian County, and a few masters and apprentices. The biggest feature of the iron tool created by the Bo Mansion of Lantian County is that it is bright and shiny, and it is refined into steel every time.
The same is true for this weird plowshare. The plowshare at the bottom looks similar to the axe, in the shape of a Mitsubishi, and the thicker it goes up.
Next to the plowshare was a wooden cover that was half shorter than the second cow's squad, and a normal plow-holding wooden frame. The civil servants couldn't stand this strange combination of new and old agricultural tools and began to whisper.
One of the civil servants asked in a low voice;
"Brother Wang, I wonder if you have ever seen this kind of plowshare and wooden cover?"
The official who was questioned shook his head like a rattle;
"What you have never heard of, what you have never seen."
A good fifth-rank official god came over mysteriously;
"I just went there to inquire. This is a new plow created this year. With this wooden cover, it is more than ten times faster than the previous two-ox squad. Your Majesty is anxious today. I am waiting to come here, just to inspect the goods on the spot and plow these acres of land. If it is feasible, it will be promoted to the world."
After this person said something, the expressions of the civil servants around him were different and very exciting;
"Haha, this is new. I have never heard that if you make a strange thing, you can be ten times faster than the straight plow that has been passed down for thousands of years. Oh, it seems that I am still ignorant..."
"That's right? Brother Cui, don't say anything. I'm also puzzled. Just now, an eunuch said, "This strange plowshare is pulled by a cow."
Moreover, the job that this cow can do is to beat ten cows. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! The officials are shallow in their knowledge, and they really don’t know how big a cow is to beat the strength of the previous ten cows!”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and very white skin took over the conversation;
"You don't understand Zheng Yuanwai. This thing made by others may have exaggerated elements, but the things made by Lantian County Bo did not make a sensation in the world. I think this time it may really break the rules passed down by our ancestors for more than a thousand years, and it is unknown."
Mr. Zheng didn't speak, but he looked disdainful. Many people sneered at each other, and one of them came out to smooth things over;
"My colleagues, let's wait patiently. Just pull it out if it's a mule or a horse. When General Qin comes, he will get it on the head of a cow and plow it to see. Maybe a cow can really run like the wind if he pulls the plow, ah! Hahahaha..."
After hearing what Run Rufeng said, the officials laughed and covered their stomachs. A fourth-rank official who couldn't straighten his waist could barely breathe evenly and swallowed a mouthful of spit;
"I said to Brother Cui, your Qinghe Cui family is also a prominent family, and your four families also have countless land. Haven't you seen Erniu plow the land yet?
You just don’t let the cow plow the land, it can run like the wind. If you can easily refute the old rules passed down by our ancestors, wouldn’t that be reincarnated and still run like the wind…”
"Hey, stop talking, then General Qin is here, you will know the truth in a moment..."
Following the eyes of everyone, Qin Qiong was wearing bright black armor and tiger steps, and the momentum of his whole body was daunting from the inside out.
When a group of generals saw Qin Qiong, they cheered at the top of their voices. Many people were thinking in their hearts that they would wear their outfits for a few days in the past two days. This is what the generals should look like.
Qin Qiong, wearing armor, was very different from the past. He was majestic and imposing. The mighty and domineering nature of the killing general was undoubtedly revealed. Many civil officials couldn't help but look down and did not dare to look at the murderers. Qin Qiong nodded and greeted the cultural relics officials, and stood by His Majesty all the way;
"Long live my visit to my lord, I respectfully ask for blessings and forgive me for being in my armor and armor."
Li Shimin looked at his beloved general in surprise;
"Your dear is not a gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"This is not the day to go to war, nor is it to pacify the bandits. Why did the beloved come with his whole body?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, although the world is determined, the war is a weapon of the country. How can it be abandoned? I think that if your men can maintain their combat power, when your Majesty is useful, you can pull them out to intimidate all sides and pave the way for Your Majesty to sweep away all directions. Therefore, there will be a martial arts show in my camp from time to time.
Today, the troops were arranged in the wilderness, and most of the men took action, so it was difficult for them to leave. They followed the men and heard the call from His Majesty, and did not dare to delay any delay. They did not have time to change it, which shocked His Majesty and asked His Majesty to punish him."
Qin Qiong said something, and the group of generals who followed him nodded frequently, and Li Shimin even squinted his eyes and couldn't stop smiling;
"Okay, okay, what's your fault for me? Just like this, although the world is stable, the barbarians from all directions are dissatisfied. Northeast Goguryeo is ready to move, the Turkic wolf ambitions on the grasslands, Tuyuhun's thieves remain unchanged, and Tubo in the southwest is also gathering power and military power.
The generals dare not slackew. We must always be vigilant to maintain our combat power. If any side is useful in the future, let the thieves know the might of our Han people and be unstoppable!"
When Li Shimin saw Qin Qiong's armor, the warlike genes in his bones were immediately ignited. The more he spoke, he became more and more excited, as if he was going to lead his troops to fight again and kill all directions. A group of generals were also excited and agreed to the promise.
Li Shimin paused, saw a group of beloved generals under his command, and raised his chest and shouted loudly;
"If there are thieves coming, do you guys dare to fight?"
Yuchi Gong's hair was wide open and he shouted loudly at the top of his throat;
"Your Majesty, the Turkic savages came in the last year, and I have not been able to kill them yet. If Your Majesty has an order, the old minister is willing to be the pioneer and kill a thousand thieves first to open the way for Your Majesty."
Niu Jinda didn't want to lose behind the crowd for a moment, so he immediately took a step forward and bowed down;
"Your Majesty has the need, so I will lead ten thousand men to sweep away all directions for Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin was the most aggressive and took the first two steps and shouted at his loud voice;
"Your Majesty, the ten thousand elite soldiers under me are also trained every month, and I will never stop every day. I will win if I pull them out. Why should Your Majesty be afraid of the Goguryeo kid? If Your Majesty has troubles, I would like to raise my subordinates and kill him Goguryeo kids first. They will catch them off guard and share your worries!"
Li Ji, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but speak;
"Your Majesty is always in need, and I am willing to work hard for you."
"Your Majesty! The old minister is the most skilled in escorting food and grass. If he handed over the important matters of food and grass to the old minister, he would not disappoint his majesty..."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the Left Army."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the Right Army..."
Li Shimin was so happy that he was still moving forward bravely as he did before, and his heroism was still the same as before.
"Okay! OK! OK! Good! My dear friends are still as majestic as they were back then, good..."
There were many civil servants who did not come here to make fun of each other, and many of them looked like they didn't want to see, and one of them muttered in a low voice;
"These generals are talking passionately, as if they are going to go to war tomorrow. Is it worth it to fight? I will know how to fight and kill all day long, hum!"
"That's right, Brother Wang said it quite reasonable. When they talked, they wanted to mobilize the army to fight. Don't have food or grass? Don't have to pay for it? Everything has to be paid for. A random battle can cost millions of yuan?"
"Wuhou, how can we know that we are working hard to organize money, silk, and food..."
Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, interrupted everyone's complaints and said loudly;
"Dear colleagues, stop talking, go and take a look. Your Majesty has seen it twice."
A group of civil servants came here with their heads shaking their heads, standing outside the military generals, only to hear His Majesty the Emperor continue to speak;
"This war is not enough to be a single word. Without silver, silk and food, our army is ineffective in training, it is impossible to mobilize ten miles away. Since ancient times, the army has been going before it moves. It can be seen how important food is. Food is the most important thing for the people. Without food, everything is empty talk. Fortunately, a capable person was born and created a new iron plow, which was brought by Shubao.
But I have never seen this thing in the palace, and I don’t know how to operate it. So today, I have transferred Qin Aiqing from the camp, and our monarchs and ministers will try to cultivate on the spot to see how the effect is. Let’s see the people! Prepare for the sacrifice.”
"promise!"
With Li Shimin's order, the palace servants became busy and worked for a long time before they were ready. Li Shimin led all civil and military officials to worship the heaven and earth, and then worship the great god of grains. They were busy for an hour before the spring plowing and sacrifice activities ended.
With a wave of his hand, the eunuch next to him raised the plow and took a wooden frame. Two more people led two strong cows to the acres of the fields that the emperor had cultivated.
Li Shimin pulled Qin Qiong to the front, whispering while walking;
"My dear, I have been taking this plow for a night. I checked it in the middle of the night but couldn't see anything amazing. Such a strange thing can really be as fast as what My dear said, than two oxen plowing the land?"
Qin Qiong knew the emperor's thoughts. Many people looked at him. If they were untrue, they would lose face. You should not blame His Majesty for swaying left and right. This strange plowshare was bent like this.
He even said that it was better to use the plowshare that had been used for thousands of years. If anyone had been in a state of mind, at this time, what Your Majesty needed was full affirmation and there must be no hesitation at all.
"Report to Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. I believe that Li Dalang's words. I sent a few people to Lantian overnight that night to witness the power of this new plow,
To be continued...
