097 Li Shimin's Reward (Part 2)

Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin shook his head and said to Du Ruhui: Du Aiqing, you can explain who it is..."

When Du Ruhui saw Emperor Li Shimin say this, he knew that the emperor's curiosity was almost done, and it was time to stop.

"Your Majesty, you are your good son-in-law, Gui'an's good son, that boy Zhang Yang! That's why I just said that Your Majesty, you are so lucky! "

What, that boy! That boy is smart, with some tricks, and he is so crazy. I know, but I didn't expect that he has this ability. He is really a lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, my lucky star! It seems that this son-in-law can't let him run away!" Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin said with great emotion after hearing Du Ruhui's words.

"By the way, Du Aiqing, how did that kid solve this everlasting problem? Tell me quickly. I'm very curious about that kid's genius creativity." Tang Taizong Li Shimin asked immediately after sighing.

"Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Yang's little bow is really a ghost.! He claims to be Ma Jun alive! He said that he didn't know the pictures he had read in that book, and then he redesigned and changed the drawings. He transformed and built a new plow and built a brand new water wheel. The efficiency of this new plow was increased by at least 70% to 80% at the same time through today's field experiments. The people's farming and efficiency were increased by at least 70% to 80% at the same time. And that new water wheel was even more amazing. He easily drove the water on the banks of the Weishui River, which had a slow water drop of nearly ten feet. This is really worthy of the title of "Ma Jun alive". For specific matters, the Si Nongqing, the subordinate of Weishu, will explain to His Majesty. The Si Nongqing, is a specialist in farming! The Si Nongqing, the subordinate of Weishu, is a specialist in this field!" Du Ruhui heard Emperor Li Shimin ask, and quickly answered.

When the Si Nongqing Piaodian heard Du Ruhui mention him, he hurriedly came out to pay his respects to Emperor Li Shimin. This was an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor! Of course, he was very grateful to Du Ruhui and Zhang Yang in his heart. Without them, he would not have had this opportunity.

"I am a good person, please pay a lot of money to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

"Jiu Xiaoqing, get up and tell me about this matter in detail." Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin wanted to know the most real situation, so he quickly called the Si Nong Qing Piao Fu who was performing his tribute.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the new plow transformed by Mr. Zhang is called the curved plow. It was rebuilt on the basis of the old Han Dynasty long straight plow, which greatly improved the working efficiency of the farmland. I estimated that it could be about doubled, while Mr. Zhang could be 70% to 80%. However, through today's experiment, it was proved that both of our estimates were wrong. During the experiment today, it was concluded that the efficiency could be improved by 80% through the comparison of the two groups! However, the staff of the two groups in the experiment were not equal. The one who operated the curved plow was two middle-aged strong men in the age of fifty years, while the one who operated the old long straight plow was two middle-aged men in the age of thirty years this year.

, but in this way, the two old men who operated the curved plow easily won the test with a score of 80% of the two strong men, and the Weichen found that the labor intensity of the two old men was easier than before using long straight plows and land of the same time. Therefore, the Weichen believed that the curved plow could at least double the efficiency. This made the people able to cultivate and produce more than twice the original land at the same time, which would allow the Baishi to earn twice the grain when harvesting. Then the Tang Dynasty also fought to double the grain." Si Nong Qing Piao Fu Cen Kong replied respectfully.

"Is this true? You are not wrong! This kid is too evil! It seems that Gui'an gave birth to a good son!" Li Shimin almost fell off the dragon throne when he heard Si Nongqing's words. The news was too amazing. If there is such an agricultural artifact, then you will basically not have to worry about food in the future. The current situation of the Tang Dynasty and lifeless situation will not take long to change.

"Report to Your Majesty, every sentence I said is true, and I dare not deceive Your Majesty!" Si Nong Qing Piaofu heard Emperor Li Shimin suspected that he was telling lies and hurried out to ensure that he was telling the truth.

"That's good, you continue, something else."

"Report to Your Majesty, there is also a high-rotor truck that was tested today, which is the water truck mentioned by Shangshu Du just now. Through the experiment, it was proved that the high-rotor truck could indeed increase the water by ten feet, and the higher ones could also combine the water to lift the water through several high-rotor trucks. As for the remaining two pictures drawn by Mr. Zhang, the two pictures have not yet begun to be created due to time and priorities.

However, based on the current situation and information that Weichen knows, the two things that can definitely achieve the pre-deception effect are the main uses and effects of the threshing machine and the hulling machine. "Sinong Qing Baofu Yong Zhang Yang explained the key points of the knowledge that Emperor Li Shimin explained to him.

"Yeah, it's not bad, it's all good things. You must make the remaining two things with the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works as soon as possible!" Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin heard the explanation of Si Nongqing as his order.

"I am obeying the will of the sages." The Si Nongqing thanked him.

"Du Aiqing, this is the surprise and good thing you said! I didn't scare me to death." Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin said to Du Ruhui in a pleasant tone.

"Your Majesty is almost over for lunch, it's time to use lunch. Do you think you'll have to eat now?" Eunuch Li Yifeng finished his talk when he saw the matter. Because the matter had even passed for lunch just now. However, Eunuch Li Yifeng was very happy when he saw Emperor Li Shimin. The stubborn disease that had troubled the Tang Dynasty for so many years was about to be solved. He carefully reminded Emperor Li Shimin to arrive.

"Oh! It's already so late! You see, we're so nervous about this, and even lunch time has passed. You didn't feel hungry when you didn't remind me just now. I'm really hungry when you said that," said Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, who smiled and said to Master Li Yifeng. From this, we can see that he was in a very good mood.

"Well, let's get here now! Du Aiqing, Piao Aiqing, you have no meals when you come so in such a hurry, you should be hungry! Let's have meals in the palace today! Let's go and have meals together." Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin said to Du Ruhui and Piao Fu.

Now, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin was in a very good mood! It was normal for him to invite Du Ruhui to have dinner with the third-rank official Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, even a small official like Si Nongqing, who is a pie rich, invites him to have dinner together. This only proves that Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin is in a very good mood now. Otherwise, how could he invite a Si Nongqing to use good luck together!

So, the emperor Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and Piaofu came to the palace where the emperor usually hosted the ministers. After they entered the palace, the emperor sat down, Li Yifeng shouted to "pass on the meal" and stood respectfully beside the emperor Li Shimin.

However, at this time, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin seemed to be very happy. He turned around and said to Mr. Li Yifeng: "Yifeng, go and send an order. Gui'an and Zhang Zi came to the palace to meet at least three o'clock this afternoon. After you pass the message, you should have dinner together! As the three-generation old minister of the Li family in our Tang Dynasty, you have a hard time suffering recently! Don't refuse."

"Your Majesty, you are so serious. These are the things that the old minister should do! Since you have said that, then the old minister will be respected and wise." After Eunuch Li Yifeng responded in panic, he found a small eunuch, took the hand-draft of His Majesty's hand-drafting plate to Xuanwu Gate and find Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang and his son to come to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty Emperor. "See Your Majesty Emperor."

Then I found a table to make it, and when the eunuch from the imperial kitchen came to lunch, I started eating. However, it seems that the current economic situation of the Tang Dynasty is really not very good. Even Emperor Li Shimin's imperial kitchen was only about ten dishes, which was far worse than the Manchu and Han banquets in later generations.

It was just now that lunch was started here, and Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang had already started for a while. While Zhang Yue and his wife were eating and chatting with Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others, servants came to report that a eunuch in the palace came to find Zhang Yue and his son with the emperor's instructions.

When Zhang Yue heard that the Taimeng was holding the emperor's handwriting, he hurriedly resigned Cheng Yaojin's people, and went to receive the imperial edict with his wife Wang Yun.

As soon as the Zhang Yue and his wife left the living room, Cheng Yaojin and others in the living room began to talk about Zhang Yue. "It seems that Gui An is going to be promoted again this time and has made great achievements..." "Yes! Yes!"

After Zhang Yue took the emperor's handwriting, he sent the little eunuch away. Of course, red envelopes were indispensable. Then he opened the handwriting and saw that they were asking them to go to the palace to see the saint in less than three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yue and his wife burst into laughter. Everything was free and said nothing.

After Zhang Yue smiled for a while, he asked the servant to go to the east of the city, Yuelailou, and asked the young master to return immediately, saying that he had something to do. He saw that, after the servant went out, he ran to the "Yuelailou" in the east of the city to find his own young master who was drinking with the masters.

He hurried to Zhang Yang and whispered to Zhang Yang: "Young Master, a saint envoy has arrived at home just now. The master told you to go back immediately and not to delay." After that, the servant walked to the gate and waited for Zhang Yang.

"Masters, if you have something to do at home, I will go back immediately. The masters are here today, so I will leave first. Please rest assured that the bill has been recorded in my account. I will take it back first..." After saying that, Zhang Yang turned around and walked to the door of "Yuelai Building", called Xiao Si for a while, and left with the servant who had just called him. Of course, as Zhang Yang's book boy and his personal servant Xiao Si, he stayed to accompany the masters as Zhang Yang's representative.

After Zhang Yang arrived at home, he was called by Zhang's father to wash up. After changing into a Confucian scholar outfit under Chun'er's service, he said hello to Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others, and left the Zhang Mansion with Zhang Yue, who had already arranged the family affairs, and went to Tai Chi Palace to meet Emperor Li Shimin.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang and his son passed through the Taiji Palace Xuanwu Gate with the handwriting of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. They met him shortly after a while. The Si Nongqing, who was sent away after lunch with Emperor Li Shimin.

Zhang Yang hurried forward for a while and asked: "Why are you the only one who is here? Mr. Du, why didn't you go with you? By the way, what's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor asking us father and son today? I'm not sure, so I'll reveal that I'll be prepared."

Zhang Yang was unsure of this. He sighed that based on Du Ruhui's performance today and the Lord Piao he met now, he didn't know that there was a good thing waiting for him. He just planned to find Lord Piao to find out.

"Young Master Zhang! You ask me about this, I know, but I know it is a good thing for you! As for Shangshu Du, now he is left in Liangyi Hall and has something to discuss. Your Majesty is waiting for you in Liangyi Hall. Go quickly. I will leave first. If you want to meet with the Ministry of Revenue to do something else, I will say goodbye to you next time." After that, Si Nongqing, Master Piao Fuziao walked towards Xuanwu Gate.

"That Lord Tie is walking slowly, I'll talk next time." Zhang Yang saw Si Nong Qing Piao Fu leaving, and he got on the carriage with his father, and told the carriage to the sergeant to go to Liangyi Hall and continue moving forward.

The carriage stopped to the place where Du Ruhui and his friends got off the car in the morning. Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang got off the carriage and walked towards Liangyi Hall.

When Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang walked to the gate of Liangyi Hall, it was almost time to go, and it was just right, neither too late nor too late.

Just now, when Zhang Yang saw his father-in-law coming to pick him up in January, he hurriedly pulled his father Zhang Yue to see him and introduced him to his father Zhang Yue and Li Yifeng. Although Zhang Yue was also a die-hard confidant of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, because he was staying in the palace at that time, and his relationship with Li Shimin was in contact, so Zhang Yue, who was a die-hard leader of Emperor Taizong of Tang, would not know Mr. Li Yifeng.

"Okay, okay! You little sloppy, Your Majesty has told me about your affairs many times. Go in quickly, Your Majesty has been doing well for a while." After that, Eunuch Li Yifeng went in first.

As soon as Zhang Yue and Zhang Yang entered the Liangyi Hall, they were about to salute Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin hurriedly stopped him. He knew that Zhang Yang was the little guy didn't like to kneel down to others.

"Gui'an, okay, there is no outsider here, there is no need to salute. Gui'an, you have given birth to a good son! I am very envious!" Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, said to Zhang Yue with a smile.

"Prince Chengqian is also very smart, so you don't need to envy your Majesty." Zhang Yue was still a little scared at the smile of Emperor Li Shimin, although he had followed Li Shimin for so many years and knew Li Shimin's temper very well.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Zhang family boy, what reward do you want for you to make such a great contribution this time?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the grass-crown people have not yet won't give me any rewards. I'm saying that the credit for this time is not the one who has made merits from the society and many masters. The grass-crown people just take out the things I've seen before and make some modifications, but you don't dare to take credit for it. But if you really feel sorry for it, please count this credit on my father and let him get promoted. The grass-crown people are better not to be this pioneer, after all, the wood is so beautiful that the wind in the forest will destroy it!"

As soon as Zhang Yang said this, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui laughed. They knew that Zhang Yang was not such a person who could suffer such a loss. Of course, they also valued Zhang Yang's character of not taking credit and not taking credit and knowing that everyone can get benefits.

"Gui'an! You really have a good son, look! People say that mother is noble by your son, and your family is noble by your son. Zhang's words are reasonable, so you will be promoted to two levels of Min'an County and be appointed as the founding county duke of Min'an County! You have a thousand five hundred households. Gui'an, now you are like Shubao and the others, and you are all dukes. Originally, you can be enough to be the credit of your boy this time, but in order to balance the great families of various aristocratic families, you will be wronged this time." Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin said to Zhang Yue a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Yue also knew that he was born a businessman. Although he did not set up a businessman in the early Tang Dynasty, he made the businessman's status above workers and farmers, but he was still far inferior to the aristocratic family. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin granted him one, and he was already very satisfied with the Duke of Qiguo County.

"Boy Zhang, what I proposed last time, how are you thinking about Mingyu's marriage?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin is becoming more and more satisfied with Zhang Yang, and is becoming more and more anxious about recruiting him as his son-in-law.

When Zhang Yang heard Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, he remembered what Princess Xiangcheng Li Mingyu asked him for. In addition, he had a good impression of Li Mingyu and could block his mother from finding someone to date him. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It depends on Your Majesty. Caomin has no objection, but Caomin is still young now. I hope that Your Majesty allows Caomin and Guanhou to have a marriage." (To be continued
