"Your son greets Imperial Father, greets Imperial Mother!”
In the Li Zheng Palace Hall, Li Chengqian smiled and bowed to the two people in front of him.
After seeing that Old Li didn't go to Yiqiu Palace often recently, he was shocked.
Li Chengqian was prepared to take the initiative to attack and see if he could find a breakthrough point. That was why he appeared in Li Zheng Palace Hall.
However, Old Li was reading some memorial at this moment and only nodded at him.
He once again placed his gaze on the memorial in his hand.
This scene made Li Chengqian somewhat depressed.
This was simply like a mouse pulling a turtle, unable to bite!
Old Li, who was seriously reading the book of advice on farming, twitched his mouth. He did not know why his little rascal suddenly muttered.
Fortunately, he had already finished reading the letter of advice to farmers. He handed the memorial to Li Chengqian and said,
"Chengqian, how about you take a look at this article?”
Li Chengqian was stunned and reluctantly took the article.
He was planning to leave the palace on this trip, so he didn't want to discuss any articles with Old Li.
Moreover, this plaything of the entire chapter giving Li Chengqian a headache.
Fortunately, the original body's foundation was still there. Although Li Chengqian had a headache reading it, he finally understood what this article was about.
When he put down the article in his hand, Old Li asked with interest,
"Chengqian, what do you think of this essay?”
"Replying to Imperial Father, the article is full of flowers and flowers, and the literary talent is flying. Even ten of me wouldn't be able to write such a thing!”
Li Chengqian said truthfully.
Old Li nodded and said in a deep voice,"Not bad. This book is indeed very well written."
I plan to send copies to all the prefectures and counties of the Great Tang to have the officials urge the people to farm…"
Originally, Li Chengqian didn't feel that anything was wrong when he read the article alone.
However, when he heard Old Li say this, his expression became strange.
A letter to persuade farmers?
And send it to all parts of the Great Tang for the people to learn?
This is too f * cking funny. I wonder who came up with this stupid idea for Imperial Father!
Old Li immediately received Li Chengqian's thoughts.
His expression changed and he looked at his little rascal with some displeasure.
However, there were some things that couldn't be said clearly. He could only come up with an excuse and ask,
"Chengqian, do you think this article should be sent to all places for the people to learn?”
Li Chengqian first looked at Old Li a few times before saying hesitantly,"
"Imperial Father, do you want your son to speak the truth or lie?”
"Nonsense! Of course I want to hear your honest thoughts!”
Old Li glared at Li Chengqian in annoyance and directly ended it.
Li Chengqian nodded and said rudely,"
"Since Imperial Father wants to hear the truth, then this subject will be straightforward. This idea is really rotten.
Father, your son is someone who has studied for a few days. When I read this article, I felt that it was difficult to understand.
You actually want to let the people of the Great Tang learn this essay?
Not to mention that the commoners were illiterate, even if someone who could read explained it to them, what was the use of them listening?
Can it increase the efficiency of farming or increase the yield of food…"
Originally, Old Li was a little angry, but as Li Chengqian spoke more and more, Old Li's expression became solemn.
After a while, he slowly said,
"You mean that there's no need to send copies of this letter to the Great Tang?”
"Of course not! This kind of article could be used to read by learned people.
If he still wanted the illiterate commoners to learn, it would really be a joke.
The person who wrote this article might have never been to the fields and knew little about farming.
If this kind of article was published, the people of the world might laugh at Imperial Father!”
Li Chengqian spoke with assurance.
In an instant, Old Li felt the seriousness of the problem.
Although he didn't know the saying 'the layman guides the expert', he understood the meaning from it.
Thinking of this, Old Li said with a serious expression,
"Chengqian, I have discussed with all the beloved ministers about the spring plowing plan today. Come and see what it is!”
Of course, Old Li did not think that Li Chengqian was more powerful than the ministers in the court.
However, he felt that Li Chengqian was not bound by the inherent experience. Perhaps he could see something that they could not.
After pausing for a moment, Old Li told him the few strategies he had decided on today.
Li Chengqian smiled after listening and said,"
"Imperial Father, in your son's opinion, the most useful thing is actually what uncle said.
Increasing the number of oxen in the Great Tang was far more effective for the people than other methods.”
"How could I not know that increasing the number of cattle is the most effective for the people?
But Chengqian, do you know how much of a burden raising a cow is to the people?
Ordinary people could not afford to raise cattle at all. As a result, spring ploughing was the most important thing in every dynasty.”
Old Li explained.
Regarding this point, Li Chengqian really did not know before.
He thought that the commoners only needed to cut some grass for the cattle to eat. He did not expect that not everyone could raise cattle.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian blinked and a thought appeared in his mind:
There were too few cattle, so they could have used horses instead. Why didn't anyone think of this?
Just as he thought of this, Old Li asked directly,
"Chengqian, are you wondering why you don't use horses instead of oxen?”
"Eh, Imperial Father, how did you know what I was thinking?”
Li Chengqian had a surprised expression on his face.
Old Li was stunned. He knew that he had almost been exposed and quickly said,
"Ahem, any normal person would think so, but it's not easy to do it.
The strength of a horse is not small, but when used to plow the fields, it is still far inferior to a cow…"
It seemed that although Old Li did not farm, he knew a lot about the fields.
At this moment, he was talking non-stop, as if he was an old farmer in the fields.
From his narration, Li Chengqian also understood the current situation of the common people's farming in this era.
So that was the case. However, as long as the straight handle plow was replaced with a curved shaft plow, this problem would be easily solved.
Li Chengqian instantly found the root of the problem.
What was a curved shaft plow?
Old Li, who had just heard his thoughts, was attracted by this term.
It was a pity that after waiting for a long time on his side, Li Chengqian on the opposite side did not speak anymore as if nothing had happened.
Facing this situation, Old Li was furious.
This rascal clearly had a good idea in his heart, but he just held it in and didn't say it. How preposterous!
Unfortunately, Old Li couldn't say that he had heard this brat's inner thoughts.
For a moment, Old Li, who was so angry that he almost exploded, could only glare at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was surprised by Old Li's sudden glare.
Father is indeed going through menopause early. It seems that I should escape first!

A new day, rolling around and begging for flowers and votes!!
