Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

As long as Du He, the Minister of Works, had fun, even if they finally found that the innovative straight plow had no effect, they would have accomplished something great.

Besides, Du He is not fooling around, but wants to do something practical for the people, so they must fully support him.

It’s just that there is a big gap between the innovation of the straight plow and the meritorious deeds they originally expected.

Du He smiled and said, "Since everyone has the same idea, you should go down and organize the people from each department to start taking action and see how to innovate this straight plow."

"Our goal is to make the innovative plow lighter, more flexible and able to turn the soil deeper."

"We'll meet again in five days, and you need to bring your respective department's improvement plans."

what!

Only five days?

When they heard that Du He only gave them five days, the people who had originally wanted to make a big move instantly showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

What can you do in such a short time?

Du He looked at the hesitation of several people, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is there anything you don't understand about the order of this Shangshu?"

Silence for a few breaths.

Yu Chang was the first to reply: "Yes, sir!"

Anyway, as the Minister of Works, he didn't need to do anything to innovate the straight plow. He only needed to cooperate with Du He and supervise the doctors of the four ministries.

Except for Xiao Kai who looked indifferent, the other three doctors looked at each other, with helplessness showing on their faces.

“No wonder the people in the Shangcheng Bureau have always been at the bottom of the performance evaluation list. It’s not that Du He is incompetent, but that his abilities are not used in the right way.”

When Du He came to the Ministry of Works to take up his post, he said that he would lead everyone to make achievements. They were so happy that they couldn't sleep for several nights.

Now faced with this result, they are so frustrated that they can't sleep.

The enthusiasm in my heart suddenly cooled down.

Since the chief and deputy chief of the Ministry of Works have reached an agreement, and Xiao Kai is a loyal lackey of Minister Du, he will definitely support it.

Even though the three of them felt helpless, they still had no choice but to agree.

"As ordered!"

Seeing that they all agreed, Du He waved his hand and said without caring whether they were willing or not.

"There's no time to lose, let's get down to work now!"

"Everyone must remember that while innovating the direct plow, we must not delay our department's main duties!"

"The innovation of the straight plow is just an additional way to make merit, but our main job of government affairs is what we should do with all our heart."

After hearing Du He's instructions, their faces turned serious.

"promise!"

After they exchanged greetings, they left the office with complicated expressions on their faces.

Xiao Kai stood still. He waited until the others left before asking in a low voice with confusion.

"Brother Du, didn't you already get the curved plow out?"

"Why do we need to innovate the straight plow again?"

He saw all the expressions on the other people's faces just now.

If he didn't know the inside story, he would definitely question Du He's orders and think that Du He, as the Shangshu, is unreliable.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, letting the people from each department think first is to make everyone feel involved."

"Only when everyone participates and makes the curved plow step by step, will the court give credit to everyone."

“And only when everyone tries it themselves, they will know the difficulty of innovating the straight plow, and everyone will remember it more deeply!”

Du He never thought of relying on this group of people to make the curved plow. He let them all participate just to unite the people in the Ministry of Industry.

Although Du He drew the sketch, the actual creation of the curved plow and its continuous improvement still needed to be done by the people in the Ministry of Industry.

"I see."

Xiao Kai nodded as if he understood something, then he winked and clasped his fists and said.

"Brother Du, I will go and give orders to the people in the Yu Department now, asking them to get involved."

After saying that, Xiao Kai trotted out.

Looking at the unruly Xiao Kai, Du He shook his head speechlessly.

Duke Song Xiao Yu is old-fashioned and strict, while Xiao Kai is more free and easy-going. The personalities of the two father and son are completely different.

After arranging the important matters, Du He moved a small stack of memorials on the desk to his side and began to review them carefully.

...

While Du He was convening people from the Ministry of Works to discuss matters, important matters were also being discussed in the Liangyi Hall.

Li Shimin put down the thick book in his hand, turned to look at Changsun Wuji who was sitting below him, and then said with admiration on his face.

"I think the decree submitted by Zuo Pushe to relocate the people is perfect."

"My dear ministers, please take a look. If there are no problems, I will issue an edict to enforce it!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurried forward, picked up the book on the table, and handed it to Fang Xuanling first.

The decree to relocate the people was drafted by people from the Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, because the heads of these three departments were aware of it.

Now only Fang Xuanling, Liu Li, Li Jing, Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu were unclear, so Li Shimin wanted these five important ministers to take a look as well.

As for the Minister of the Central Secretariat Yang Shidao, he did not participate in this meeting.

The person who attended on his behalf was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Cen Wenben.

After more than half an hour, the book was passed among several important officials.

Liu Li was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this decree is basically consistent with what Minister Du said at the time, and it also explains the details in detail."

"I think this decree is perfect and can be promulgated and implemented."

Although Du He was unable to attend this meeting, Liu Li still intended to emphasize Du He's contribution. After all, Du He was the one who proposed the decree.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Gao Shilian and others also expressed their approval.

As for the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Cen Wenben, since it was the first time he learned about this decree, Li Shimin did not consult his opinion, but just let him sit on the side and listen.

When Li Shimin saw that several important ministers agreed, he immediately stroked his beard and nodded.

"Since all of you are in agreement, let's make the decree to relocate the people!"

After saying this, Li Shimin picked up the pen and ink, solemnly drew the edict on this important decree, and heavily stamped it with his seal.

After finishing everything, Li Shimin glanced at the seal on the decree, then raised his head and said with great pride.

"My dear ministers, the Eight Kings Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty led to the invasion of our Han territory by foreign races. The people of the Central Plains were forced to migrate south to avoid the war!"

"Now that we have wiped out the three powerful kingdoms in Liaodong, we are moving the people of the Tang Dynasty from the south to the north. This is a symbol of the strength of our Tang Dynasty!"

"We can achieve such brilliant results only with the concerted efforts of all of you, my dear ministers!"

The great achievements made by the Tang Dynasty, especially in expanding territory, have far surpassed those of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor.

Moreover, Li Shimin is now in his prime and will have the opportunity to further expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so he has every reason to be proud.
