The group of people returned to the Cheng Residence. At this time, Cheng Chuyou's father, Cheng Yaojin, also rushed over with Cheng Chuyou's elder brother, Cheng Chumo.
As the host, it was impossible for the emperor to not welcome him when he came to his manor. Although he did not tell Cheng Yaojin before he came, Cheng Yaojin would definitely come after he knew.
This was the rule and also the principle of being a man of gold.
"Aiya, Your Majesty, why are you here? You didn't even say hello.”Cheng Yaojin smiled and greeted Li Shimin.
"If you have nothing to do, you can come and take a look at the living conditions of the people.”Li Shi Min said in an official tone.
Cheng Yaojin immediately began to laugh, his face full of embarrassment.
If it was before, Cheng Chuyou would have thought that Cheng Yaojin was really embarrassed.
But now, if Cheng Chuyou had such childish thoughts, he would definitely give himself two slaps!
"Stinky brat, what are you daydreaming about? Come in with me!”
Suddenly, Li Shiming's voice interrupted Cheng Chuyou's fantasy. Cheng Chuyou came back to his senses and followed Li Shiming's footsteps.
Looking down at Li Shimin's shoes, Cheng Chuyou suddenly thought of a game he often played when he was young.
The friends behind would step on the heels of the friends in front…
uh...
Cheng Chuyou felt that this desire to step on him was somewhat unstoppable. He was about to step on him in the next second!
However, when he touched his neck, Cheng Chuyou felt that his head was still more valuable!
Then, he immediately dispelled this thought!
He followed Li Shiming into the room obediently and didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw Li Shiming sitting on the main seat.
"My dear ministers, please take a seat." Li Shi Min said with a smile.
After thanking Li Shiming, they began to find seats.
Cheng Chuyou was the youngest, so he must be sitting at the bottom. He was about to sit down when Li Shimin called out to him.
"Don't sit there. Tell me about your new invention, the plow.”Li Shi Min said.
Cheng Chuyou quickly walked to the middle and sincerely praised Li Shimin in his heart.
In the Tang Dynasty, before the Hu stool was passed down, the practice was to sit upright. It was similar to the kneeling of a small country in the sun in the future, which was learned from the Tang Dynasty.
At home, Cheng Chuyou usually sat cross-legged and was very comfortable.
However, Li Shiming wasn't the only one here. Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were also here.
Cheng Yaojin, who could lie down and drink at home, was now sitting in his seat obediently.
"Of course. I wonder what Your Majesty wants to know.”Cheng Chuyou bowed.
"I want to know everything." Li Shi Min said lightly.
Cheng Chuyou almost choked on Li Shiming's words. It was obvious that Li Shiming was angry today.
"Yes... Let me first introduce this plow.”
"I named it the curved beam plow. This kind of plow is lighter than the old plow, and it can be operated by a single person.”
"Not only that, but it's also more agile when it comes to turning corners. It can control the depth of the soil, and it can complete the cultivation of some of the harder ground.”
These things were all in Cheng Chuyou's mind. When this blueprint was rewarded to Cheng Chuyou, he also gave him this information.
"Then you mean…Can the mountains be farmed?" Fang Xuanling immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
Before the emperor could speak, the officials had already spoken first. This was a taboo in other dynasties.
However, during the Zhenguan period, this style became more and more popular, and Li Shimin never cared about it.
Fang Xuanling's idea also gave Li Shiming an idea.
"Although I haven't tried it yet, I think it's possible.”Cheng Chuyou nodded.
The reason why Cheng Chuyou dared to be so sure was because when this kind of curved beam plow was designed, it was used to reclaim farmland in the mountains.
"Try it as soon as possible and write a memorial to me…"
"No, Xuan Ling, you will be in charge of this matter. Let the supervisor learn how to make this thing.”
Perhaps he had thought of something, so Li Shiming directly arranged for Fang Xuanling to take charge of this matter.
"However, your name…Why was it called Qu Yuan Li? Could it be that the original blueprint was drawn by Qu Yuan?”Li Shi Min was puzzled by the name.
It was Qu Yuan Li! It was not Qu Yuan Li!
This was just Cheng Chuyou complaining in his heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Your Majesty, because the shaft in the middle is curved, I named it the Quyuan Plough.”Cheng Chuyou explained.
"Oh, I see."
Li Shi Min acted as if he had suddenly understood, but he immediately lowered his head and began to think.
"I, Old Cheng, don't think the name Qu Yuanli sounds good!”
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin, who hadn't said a word after entering the door, spoke.
"Qu Yuan…" Cheng Chuyou was about to speak.
"Oh? Does Minister Cheng have any thoughts?" Li Shimin interrupted Cheng Chuyou.
"I think it's better to call it Zhenguan Plow!”Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Zhenguan Plow? This was…Isn't that bad?" Li Shi Min hesitated.
"Your Majesty, I also think that the name 'Zhenguan Li' is very nice, much better than that Qu Yuanli!”
"Yes, yes, why don't we call it Zhenguan Plow!”
"Alright, since the three beloved ministers all think so, then let's call it the Zhenguan Plow!”
Cheng Chuyou, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a shameless person!
