"Dong!"
The sound of the court.
In this foggy early morning, the sound quietly cut through the sky of Chang 'an.
Although it was only five o 'clock in the morning, the basketball courts on the streets were already overcrowded. Everyone was playing basketball with all their might.
From time to time, there were even bursts of cheers and curses.
In the courtyards of some rich families, all the servants were doing morning exercises under the supervision of the housekeeper and the master's wife.
On the streets, the soldiers of the Chang 'an Local Government and the students of the Imperial College of Hongwen Guan were all shouting and doing morning exercises over and over again.
Everything was so peaceful and peaceful.
But in the Imperial Palace, swords were drawn and bows were drawn.
At this time, all the officials were neatly looking at Li Shimin, who was slowly ascending the Eight-step Stairway to Heaven in the court.
Today, Li Shimin was in a particularly good mood.
After dealing with the daily affairs, Li Shimin directly wanted to invite the officials to take a look at the Imperial Plantation outside the city.
The Minister of Agriculture hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Li Shimin was stunned and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead!"
"Your Majesty, it has been half a month since the autumn planting. We have heard that the Grand Scholar Zhang Feng of White Deer College has made phosphate fertilizer, but we have not seen any trace of phosphate fertilizer. Now all the people in Chang 'an are talking about it. Your Majesty, please issue an edict to let Zhang Feng produce phosphate fertilizer as soon as possible so that it can be used for food recovery after the disaster!"
"Your Majesty, we second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression became serious. He waved his hand and looked at Li Xiaogong, saying, "Xiaogong, what's the matter now?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong, the Minister of Works, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are thousands of people in the Ministry of Works, plus the craftsmen I found, and more than 3,000 people volunteered to join the construction of the phosphate fertilizer factory on Mount Longshou. I'm afraid it will be finished in five days …"
"Five days …"
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "If it's five days, there should still be enough time. I learned that this thing can be used after planting wheat seeds. Therefore, everything in the Ministry of Agriculture can continue as usual. There's no need to worry too much. Also, tell the people not to panic over this matter!"
When the Minister of Agriculture heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this subject has also gone to that mine to take a look these past two days. Although the minister's words are indeed true, according to this subject's knowledge, producing phosphate fertilizer requires water. Although that mine has water, I fear it doesn't meet Principal Zhang's requirements."
"And as we all know, even if we can build the kind of instrument that President Zhang mentioned, it will take some time. In that case, won't we have to wait for another month?"
"One month later, then …"
Although the words of the Minister of Agriculture ended here.
But everyone knew.
It was difficult to build something, not to mention building a factory.
And Li Shimin also faintly worried. When he was on the mountain yesterday, he saw Cheng Chumo and others fiddling with that thing. If it was done by Ma Zhou and others, it might be possible. But if it was done by these careless people, how could it be done?
To think that Zhang Feng could actually joke about this matter.
Li Shimin didn't feel anything before, but now?
Now he thought about it.
This seemed to be a bit too hasty!
At this time.
Among the ministers, some stood out one after another. Even some of the generals stood out at this time to ask for the decree.
This undoubtedly made those who had not felt a deep pressure.
Li Shimin rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Prime Minister Wei, what do you think of this matter?"
Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this subject also has some doubts. After all, Mr. Wang of the Minister of Agriculture said there is no problem at all. At this time, there is no trace of phosphate fertilizer at all. I have received a lot of memorials asking about this matter in the past two days."
While speaking.
Wei Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling stammered, "Your Majesty, in the past two days, the Secretariat has also received a lot of memorials from various provinces. They are all about this matter. Although I have been delaying this matter, it is not the case. So I also want to ask Your Majesty, please send someone to ask about this phosphate fertilizer."
So did Yuchi Gong and others.
Li Shimin was a little speechless.
He stared at them and said angrily, "In my opinion, this is what you want to ask, right? Don't think that I don't know what you have been doing during this time! "
Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and then said, "There is no need to report about this matter. I will deal with it at my own discretion. If there is nothing else, the court is dismissed!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ran away.
He didn't want to stay a moment longer.
The original process was to wait for the officials to send him off, but …
The officials looked at Li Shimin in astonishment. They couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What was the Emperor going to do?
After Li Shimin left.
The officials immediately crowded around.
"Prime Minister Wei!"
"Prime Minister Wei, Mr. Fang, Lord Zhangsun, wait!"
How could they not know what the crowd meant?
But at this time, seeing that they couldn't leave, they had to bite the bullet and say, "Everyone, this is not the place to talk. How about going to Chang 'an Hotel today to talk while we talk?"
