I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"I got this from a friend, and I exchanged several Huangzhuang!"

"After changing back, yesterday the Empress Chen Niuzhen personally helped the plow and plowed a small piece of the imperial garden. Today, all the princes and princesses have to learn how to plow the land!"

"My children cannot become idiots who don't eat meat. Therefore, I will teach them by example!"

Speaking of this, there was a lot of flattery from "Your Majesty the Holy Spirit" in the hall.

However, Li Shimin's trick was really well played. The emperor and empress played leading roles in person, and the prince and princess also played supporting roles. They also planted crops in the imperial garden.

It's just that after Li Shimin finished these few sentences, even though he was flattering in the hall, he didn't show a smile, instead he frowned and looked at Duan Lun and said,

"Duan Shangshu, as soon as I used this plow yesterday, I found that this plow is lighter and less labor-intensive than the previous straight plow. It can be dragged even by manpower. It is really worth exchanging a few Huangzhuang for it! "

"However, I really want to know, the Ministry of Industry has countless skilled craftsmen, why can't they make such a plow?"

"After all, although this plow is an artifact that benefits the country and the people, if I have to exchange it with Huangzhuang in the future, I'm afraid my Huangzhuang will not be enough!"

This is a bit heavy-handed. Doesn't the implication of this statement mean that the Ministry of Industry is a bunch of drunks and rice bags.

Obviously, the Ministry of Industry raised a large group of people, but in the end His Majesty had to exchange Zhuangzi for these artifacts, so are these people from the Ministry of Industry being raised for nothing?Could it be that Duan Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, did it for nothing?

Who can hang out in the court, who is not a person who can know the elegance after hearing the stringed songs?Li Shimin's words were almost straightforward, how could Duan Lun not understand.

But what can he say at this time?

It's wrong to say anything, let's say I'm useful, right now I don't have any grades to show off, and there's no guarantee how long it will take to get grades.If you say you are useless, then you have to be punished directly?

Therefore, instead of talking about this, it is better to pretend to be a dead dog, so Duan Lun simply bowed his fists,

"Your Majesty, this humble minister deserves to die, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me!"

This is also one of the common routines in the court. Anyway, I was wrong, but since I have committed the mistake, I must first admit my mistake and be more polite. Anyway, I will admit to any punishment from His Majesty, but I still beg His Majesty not to be too harsh. .

And what Li Shimin wants is actually such an attitude, he can't just overthrow the minister of the Ministry of Industry just because Zhang Nuo made something good, at least he has to give someone a chance to make up for his mistakes!

"Duan Shangshu, you don't need to say damn it. Even if the Ministry of Industry didn't come up with such a magic weapon, at least it didn't delay your other work on weekdays. Duan Shangshu has hard work without credit. I see all of this !"

"However, after this, what good plans does Duan Shangshu have?"

Duan Lun was quite happy when he heard Li Shimin say that he had hard work and no credit. He thought that this hurdle was over. He lifted the board high and lowered it gently, which meant just beating himself. If you think about it, you'll be fine.

But when he heard the latter words, he immediately had a headache. You can't talk nonsense about these words. If you say something about the future arrangements today, it is tantamount to making a promise in front of everyone, and you will see results in the future. After all, you can't talk nonsense!

Chapter 256 The Confrontation in the Court

At this time, Duan Lun's entire back was sweaty, there was no way, the pressure was too great!

This is not like sitting in the yamen and writing memorials on weekdays. You have time to carefully consider and decide on the choice of words and sentences. Now it is equivalent to an on-site interview, whether it is life or death.

However, the Ministry of Industry is supposed to build water conservancy and build palaces. It is a great joy for the craftsmen to invent new farm tools, but this is not possible. Could it be that the craftsmen are forced to make new ones with a knife rest on their necks? Come?

Duan Lun's heart is really turning back and forth at the moment, he really can't do anything at the moment, but if he has a way, he will take it out and execute it directly when he was in the Ministry of Industry.

As the top leader of the Ministry of Industry, doesn't he want the Ministry of Industry to make some achievements?

After all, no matter who is in the Ministry of Industry, as long as he has achieved results, he will be indispensable.

But he really can't figure it out. Those craftsmen can only be said to be exquisite in craftsmanship and honest. Forget about ordnance and the like.

So, at this moment, Duan Lun is completely helpless, just pretend to be a dead dog honestly!

But Duan Lun didn't speak, it doesn't mean that other people don't speak, at this moment, Changsun Wuji is very excited, because he has a complete set of solutions in his stomach.

Although this plan was not his own idea, it was plagiarized from Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang.However, it must be said that it is not possible. Why can't it be used if it is obtained by skill?

Moreover, His Majesty knew about this matter, and it wasn't once or twice that His Majesty used the tricks obtained from Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang to pretend to be coercive. Could it be that he should let himself, the minister of the dragon, show off?After all, how can you say that he is still His Majesty's brother-in-law, so I have to give him some face.

Changsun Wuji, who had figured it out, was inevitably a little excited in his heart, God, he had known shopkeeper Xiao Zhang not much longer than His Majesty, how many times His Majesty has used the tricks obtained from shopkeeper Xiao Zhang to show off.

It's finally his turn today, I'm a little excited just thinking about it!

You must know that although His Majesty knew that his strategy came from Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, other people did not know it. Now he has been promoted to Shangshusheng Zuopushe by His Majesty's grace, so he can be said to be the first assistant of the court.

But in terms of talent, the other adults are not much weaker than him, and in terms of merit, his eldest grandson Wuji is not the only one who assisted His Majesty in ascending the great treasure.

In the final analysis, it was the friendship between him and His Majesty who was a commoner and the kinship established because of his sister, which made him trust His Majesty more than others.

Not only he knows this, but everyone knows it!

However, he doesn't want this. Even though he is already an extremely powerful minister, he still hopes to improve his reputation and let more people know that his eldest grandson Wuji can sit in the position of chief assistant because of not only Your Majesty, and himself.

As for the plan that is about to be revealed, it comes from shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, so what?

A person who hangs out in the court, if he doesn't even have this bit of face, he would have plunged his head into the river and drowned.

Changsun Wuji, who had figured it out, naturally did not hesitate, and walked directly to the middle of the court hall, bowed and said,

"Your Majesty, Duan Shangshu has only been in charge of the Ministry of Handicrafts for a short period of time, and the Ministry of Works has complicated affairs. This winter, the national treasury is abundant, and there is a major repair of water conservancy. It is inevitable that some things will be missed!"

"Although I have never served in the Ministry of Industry, but now that I am trusted by His Majesty, I am a servant of the left, and I should devote myself to serving Your Majesty. It is better to reform the Ministry of Industry. Let me first talk about how to do it. Throw a brick to attract jade!"

When Li Shimin saw Changsun Wuji standing up and uttering these words forcefully, his face was not as happy as the officials thought, but instead the word "Zhun" popped out with a sinking face!

At this moment, in Li Shimin's heart, there is already a villain roaring crazily,

"My dear, you bastard actually robbed me of my lines, and the trick I learned from Shopkeeper Zhang through all my hard work and at the expense of face, was actually used by you bastard to show off?"

"Auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, I am the emperor! I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme! You don't even give me face?"

"Okay, since you're playing tricks with me, then there's no need for me to be polite to you. Let's see who is more skilled!"

Li Shimin's heart was already boiling like a pan of oil, but there was no expression on his face. Changsun Wuji offended him to death this time.

In his opinion, he was the first to know the shopkeeper Zhang, and he had the best relationship with him, and he had already married Jinlan.

That naturally belonged to him, but Changsun Wuji just listened to it from the sidelines, and he wanted to take it for himself. He was his mother, and he was simply not a son of man.

Changsun Wuji didn't know that Li Shimin had so many twists and turns in his heart. He only knew that His Majesty had allowed him to speak, so he had to show off the opportunity he had finally come across.

It was also because he was a little too excited today, so he didn't look at Li Shimin's face as usual.

Otherwise, based on his understanding and familiarity with Li Shimin, he must know that Li Shimin is already a little over the top today.

It's a pity, at this moment, he is already immersed in the pleasure of pretending to be aggressive!

"Therefore, the conflict in the Ministry of Industry is like this. Craftsmen are unwilling to take responsibility, because even if they have meritorious service, they can't get money or land in exchange, while low-level officials dare not take responsibility, because if they don't do it, they can't make mistakes, and if they do more, they will get more." Wrong, no one wants to take risks for some yellow and white things!"

"It is precisely because of this that Wei Chen has the courage to come up with a method, not to say that the medicine will cure the disease, but at least it can effectively improve the current situation!"

Changsun Wuji was about to continue talking when Li Shimin suddenly said,

"Auxiliary machine, the method you mentioned won't be that the craftsmen get the money and the land, and the officials get the merits?"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback when he heard this, and nodded unconsciously, he was a little dazed, why did His Majesty say all this?

But how did he know that this was just the beginning, Li Shimin didn't just say that!

"But this alone is not enough. If this is the case alone, the two are easy to be superfluous and deceive the upper and lower. They should also be jointly supervised by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry!"

"Officials are harsh on craftsmen, and officials are punished. Craftsmen are favored and arrogant, so craftsmen are punished. The Ministry of Industry draws up a plan, and the Ministry of Officials assists. At that time, the two ministries will work together to create as many benefits as possible as soon as possible. The artifact of the people is here!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, a large number of officials rushed forward to flatter him. It was a bit smooth, but some of them really felt that His Majesty's method was really good!

Chapter 257 The Hot Chuang Tzu

At this moment, Changsun Wuji looked up in a daze and saw the faint smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and finally understood that he had violated His Majesty's taboo.

Unexpectedly, just showing off with the method that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said would be cut off by His Majesty, and I don't know if His Majesty was annoyed.

Fortunately, he is not the iron-headed fool like Wei Zheng, who knows how to advance and retreat, so naturally he will not risk his life at this time and loudly say that this idea is not from His Majesty, but from Shopkeeper Zhang.

That would be a real act of death. After all, His Majesty has been trying his best to cover up his traces at Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang. If he said it so bluntly, he really didn't know how His Majesty would torment him.

Sigh, but His Majesty is still a master of chess. He obviously opened his mouth, but in the end it became a stepping stone to show His Majesty's mastery of chess. He just said the beginning, and His Majesty can come up with a complete set of methods. Doesn't this make His Majesty more wise.

But it is indeed clever, I heard the method from the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, I only know how to say directly, how smart is your majesty, wait for me to jump out, and then step on it and continue talking.

Even if he didn't jump out, didn't Duan Lun still exist? Didn't Duan Lun already flatter loudly and convincingly at this moment?

Forget it, you have to admit that your skills are not as good as others, and you should hurry up and make amends and flatter your majesty more, so that maybe your majesty will be able to forgive yourself for taking credit for Xiaozhang's tricks?

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji also changed his embarrassing expression just now, and loudly praised His Majesty's sageness, and kept saying that although His Majesty is in charge of the overall situation, he can still take care of everything, and there are not many people.

However, while flattering Changsun Wuji, he was also thinking secretly whether he would have to go to shopkeeper Xiao Zhang when he had time in the future, and it would be best to go by himself instead of with His Majesty, and he could go alone if there were any problems Let's chat.

Li Shimin was patted with joy by the sound of flattery above the court hall.After all, no matter how you put it, he is actually just a young man in his thirties, so he can lose face.

There was harmony in the court, but Lao Zhang's family was in full swing at this time.

Zhang Nuo has no time to pay attention to Chaotang right now.In his opinion, it is a muddy pond. If there is a way, try not to disturb it. It is enough to get a title and not be bullied. There is no need to mess around in the court. Everyone is an old fox. People are simpler than drinking water.

His current focus is to build a lot of Quyuanli, and then distribute them reasonably to each household!

The farm households are also very enthusiastic at the moment. There are many people watching the excitement today. They already know the news at this moment.

Not only does it save animal power, but it is also light. Even if there are not enough cattle in the village, even people can be pulled and run, just a little tired.

This is a big event. You must know that the straight plow in the past, let alone the plow, was so heavy that anyone who could carry it was a strong man. But those who went to see the excitement today said that the new plow made by the owner With a rake, one person can easily carry it.

What is even more admirable about the owner of the villa is that he is already calling people to build it non-stop. By then, every household may be able to share one.

Many farm households who had left work voluntarily ran to Zhang's mansion to help directly.

Not to mention, although this quyuanli is a new type of agricultural tool, it is actually just a big wooden lump, and there is really nothing particularly exquisite in its craftsmanship.

Although many farmers are not professional carpenters or blacksmiths, they are more than enough to help. With the help of these people, the speed of Quyuanli's construction has been further accelerated.

If it weren't for the speed that was dragged down by the iron smelting workshop, if it was only the carpenter's side, hundreds of them would have to be produced in a day.

It's a pity that the iron smelting workshop can't do it. After all, it has to be a tool for going to the ground. Although it is not as strict as weapons, there are still standard iron tools, and it is so simple to forge.

But once a person has a goal, there are always more ways than difficulties.No, seeing the speed of the blacksmith's construction dragged down the production of Qu Yuanli.

A group of sergeants, who were no different from dead dogs even after training, heard that this was made for their own family, and immediately stood aside refreshed and started to learn.

Then, after reading it, they immediately patted their chests and said, if they are making weapons and shields, they are not capable, but if they are making such agricultural tools, they can do it too!

Zhang Nuo couldn't resist their kindness, so he just sent out a piece of iron to get rid of it himself.

Who would have thought that this group of people really took out their hammers from their own homes, and several families got together to build a stove with a bellows, and then directly started to work.

Although the speed is not as fast as that of a serious blacksmith, and the plowshares made are also pitted, but after the blacksmith pinched his nose to identify them, they said that these things are ugly, but they can still be used.

Then many sergeants were excited, as long as it can be used, anyway, it is for the guy who gets it to work in the field, why should it be so good-looking, it is true that it is durable.

Seeing the results, this group of people became more and more excited, and some people even started to secretly ask for leave, just to get a Quyuanli for their family as soon as possible.

They had already seen the first batch of completed Quyuan plows. After being divided into families, the strong men in the family carried the plows, and the old people in the family held the plows. They didn't need to plow the oxen, and they dragged the plows forward.

As soon as this guy did it, other people couldn't bear it immediately. Why, if the man hadn't gone to practice, wouldn't we have this new type of plow at home today?

Forget it, the owner is already too busy, we have hands and feet, we just need to help ourselves, and we will never let that dog thief get ahead of us.

Seeing that more and more people were asking for leave, Zhang Nuo simply waved his hand and said that they would all go home to work today.

How else can we say that there are more people and more strength? Once these thousands of strong laborers come up, the scene will be different immediately.

Those who know how to do carpentry work go to the carpenter's workshop, and those who are skilled in blacksmithing go to the blacksmith's workshop.

They all come from poor backgrounds who work every day on weekdays, and they split up several calls in an instant with almost no instructions from others, and went to find work by themselves.

Looking at the lively scene in Zhuangzi, Zhang Nuo smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. Be positive. The farm tools are ready this morning. With more and more land under his name in the future, the farmers don’t have to do anything else. The farm tools are ready, and it's time to go directly.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo was completely relieved to see everyone's high spirits. There is no need to worry about this year's spring plowing!

Chapter 258 The Simple Farmer

A new type of curved plow was moved out of the carpenter's workshop like an assembly line product.

It was actually getting dark at this moment, but the whole Zhuangzi seemed to be possessed by a demon. No one said that he wanted to go home. The messenger went aside.

People, sometimes it is just to create an atmosphere. When the atmosphere comes together, people will have a heart, and this is the case with the farmers at this time.

They have witnessed the power of Qu Yuanli with their own eyes, and they know that this is the magic weapon of the farmer's house, so why wait?Get it one day earlier, and you can go to the ground one day earlier.

Who can wait?

Besides, didn't you see that even the owner of the villa wandered around here and didn't go to eat? How could he be more valuable than the owner of the villa?

They are all native women who have never seen the world, delaying my work!

Torches were gradually lit in the workshop, and under the light of the dancing flames, a figure dragged on the ground for a long time. At this time, everyone did not feel uncomfortable at all, but the atmosphere in the whole workshop became more and more heated.
