Li Shimin's face was filled with joy as he walked to the place where the land was plowed to investigate the situation. The speed of the curved plough was indeed faster, but it also depended on the quality of the plowed land. If the quality of the plowed land was rough, the effect of the curved plough would be greatly affected.
However, after Li Shimin took a look, a smile appeared on his face. Compared to the straight plow, the curved plow had a much better effect on turning the soil.
When the soil was spread out, it was beneficial for planting.
"Hahaha …"
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui and said, "This curved plough is simply beneficial to the people. It can even be called a divine item. However, this curved plough needs to be used for a while. If we give it away directly, it will be a waste. Tell me, how should we give it away? "
To Li Shimin, even if it was a great contribution, it wouldn't be as great as his contribution in establishing the country.
Therefore, it would be a waste of the curved plough.
After Zhangsun Wuji thought for a while, he said seriously, "Now that the curved plough is in our hands, we need to make full use of it. The way I see it, it's just to create momentum. The main purpose is to exaggerate His Highness, so that the invention of the curved plough will fall on His Highness. Only if His Highness invents the curved plough, then everything will be easier. "
While speaking, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Du Ruhui to see what he would say.
After all, it was Du Qi who invented it.
As Li Shimin's trusted aide, Du Ruhui's intelligence was outstanding. He didn't even think about it and said, "As long as it is beneficial to His Highness, a mere curved plough is not worth mentioning. Furthermore, it is my son's fortune to be able to help His Highness. When I return to the residence, I will remind him to remember that the curved plough is His Highness' invention. "
Li Shimin said, "Doing this will be a little unfair to Erlang."
Du Ruhui's face was solemn as he said firmly, "His Highness, thunder and rain are all His Highness' kindness. My Du family is tied to the Qin King's Residence. If the Qin King's Residence prospers, then the Du family prospers; if the Qin King's Residence declines, then the Du family declines too. Therefore, as long as a mere curved plough can help His Highness, it is not worth mentioning. "
Li Shimin said, "Benwang knows Keming's heart very well."
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Du Ruhui, thinking that this Du Ruhui was truly impressive. With just one sentence, he actually made His Highness Duke of Qin feel grateful and apologetic toward the Du Family.
This was equivalent to Li Shimin owing Du Qi a favor.
Fang Xuanling said, "Speaking of which, since we are going to operate, I think we can start with farming. It was now March, the time for people to start plowing. It was the perfect time to intervene. Your humble servant's plan can be divided into three aspects. "
Li Shimin said, "Will the Xuanling Stratagem be executed?"
Zhangsun Wuji and Du Ruhui both looked at Fang Xuanling.
Among them, Fang Xuanling was the best at planning. She could come up with different plans according to different situations and situations. Du Ruhui, on the other hand, was a very decisive person. He was able to choose the most suitable plan to the best of his ability.
Fang Xuanling said seriously, "The first step is to start a competition with the East Palace in agriculture."
"In previous years, after the rise of the second dragon in February, His Majesty would personally demonstrate the plowing of the land to encourage farmers to cultivate. He would also urge the officials to pay attention to farming."
"In March, large-scale plowing would begin. In the past, the Crown Prince would be in charge of this matter. He would arrange for the plowing of the land and promote the importance of farming in the imperial court."
"If we want to stir up trouble, we'll start by refuting the Eastern Palace."
"We know the East Palace's strategy for plowing the land. We will arrange for people to refute the East Palace's strategy, and Your Highness will come up with a different plan. "
"In the end, it will lead to a dispute between the two sides."
Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with wisdom. "In the end, it will lead to a result. That is, the East Palace's plan to promote the plowing of the land is not as good as ours."
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed. He roughly understood Fang Xuanling's plan. "Xuanling, what's the second step?"
Fang Xuanling said, "The second step lies with Your Highness. This is also the most crucial step. Your Highness will have to work harder. Otherwise, it won't be effective. "
"When competing with the East Palace, Your Highness will go out of the city to the countryside every day to learn about the local farming situation. In short, this step will let countless people know that Your Highness is in the countryside every day. Your Highness will even eat and live with the people so that you can understand the specific situation in the countryside. "
"With this step, there will be the third step."
Fang Xuanling said, "The third step is to bring out the curved plough. Your Highness has learned through hard work that it is not easy for the people to farm. After Your Highness's exploration, you discovered the curved plough, which can greatly improve the speed of plowing. "
"In short, once the curved plough comes out, it will cause a stir."
"When the news comes out, His Majesty will not be able to suppress it even if he wants to. Because thousands of people will be grateful to Your Highness for this. This is an open and aboveboard conspiracy. At that time, it will be more difficult for His Majesty to weaken Your Highness. "
"In this way, the power of the East Palace will be weakened."
"This is the three-step plan."
Fang Xuanling said, "Your Highness, please make a decision."
Li Shimin nodded, his heart already moved. He looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "Keming, what do you think of the plan proposed by Xuanling?"
Du Ruhui thought carefully and replied, "Your Highness, Fang Xuanling's plan is good. But the key is the first step. If the first step is not implemented, then the follow-up plan cannot be arranged. "
"I agree with the plan. But for the first step, we need to think carefully. It would be best if the Eastern Palace and the Duke of Qin's Manor were the ones who suggested encouraging farming instead of us. "
"In this way, King Qin's Mansion will be passively fighting back. When it comes to His Majesty, he has nothing to say. If we take the lead, then with His Majesty's tendency to favor the East Palace and his suspicious nature, he may even suspect that Your Highness is plotting against the Crown Prince. "
Zhangsun Wuji agreed, "Yes, yes, Keming's words make sense."
Fang Xuanling said, "It seems that to carry out this plan, we have to use some of the spies. In any case, we have spies in the East Palace. As long as we make some arrangements, the East Palace will accept it. After all, encouraging farming has always been the East Palace's responsibility, and our King Qin's Mansion has always been fighting on the battlefield. If the East Palace thinks that they can win, they will start a fight. In the end, Your Highness will benefit. "
Du Ruhui said, "I agree!"
Zhangsun Wuji said, "I agree too!"
Li Shimin stroked his beard, a bright smile on his face. "Let's go back to the mansion to discuss. There are still many details that need to be finalized. Since we are going to do this, we must consider everything. "
Zhangsun Wuji said, "Your Highness is right."
The group returned to King Qin's Mansion.
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui as he walked. "Keming, this time, I owe Erlang a favor. I heard that his tea shop in Yongxing Lane is about to open. On the day of his opening, let me know and I will personally go to support him. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Du Ruhui was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
To the Du Family, it was a great honor that Li Shimin was willing to go to Du Qi's tea shop. Moreover, Li Shimin's visit would be of great help to the tea shop's business.
