Chapter 20.
After Li Shi Min said that.
In Taiji Palace.
Five young geniuses stepped out one after another.
It was obvious that this had become a tacit understanding that there was no need to inform them.
As long as his name was on the Immortal Rankings Board, these ministers would bring their sons over for the morning court session the next day.
Because they all knew that His Majesty would definitely summon them!
Qu Tutong's grandson, Qu Tu Zhongxiang.
Wei Zheng's eldest son, Wei Shuyu.
Pei Xingyan's eldest son and second son, Pei Guangting and Pei Qingyuan.
Gao Shilian's eldest son, Gao Xing.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"No need to be so polite!" Li Shi Min looked at the five people in front of him and felt happy.
My Great Tang has discovered another five talents!
For Li Shiming, who loved talents, this was undoubtedly the best gift from the heavens!
"Wei Shuyu, I remember that you obtained a copy of the first place on the roll, the 'New Agriculture Technique.' Hand it over and let me study it.”
"It just so happens that there are too many abandoned lands in the north now, and many places are difficult to cultivate, causing the people to have difficulty eating and drinking.”
"If this 'New Agriculture Techniques' can solve it, it can be considered to have solved the knot in my heart!”
Li Shiming wanted to see if the top ranked book, New Agriculture Techniques, was useful.
"Understood!"
Wei Shuyu didn't dare to be negligent and directly asked Zhu Wen, the chief eunuch, to present it.
Soon, Li Shi Min took it and started reading it quietly.
He originally wanted to take a look but gave up.
After all, it was still morning court.
Little did he know that he was already engrossed in the first page.
It mentioned how to clear the land and the conditions.
There was also the improvement of farming tools, from straight shaft plows to curved shaft plows!
There was also a manual diagram inside. The Quyuan Plow could save more effort. With the work of one person, it could be equivalent to ten people or even more. Such an increase in efficiency was simply astonishing.
"Is this farming tool really that magical?”
Li Shi Min was shocked.
There was also the wasteland fertilizer and all kinds of mixed fertilizer technology.
Many of the techniques were unheard of!
It was novel and bold.
It really opened Li Shiming's eyes!
Who was this person ranked first?
Just the first few pages of this book had already overturned many of his ideas.
If every word in it was true.
Then, it would not be a problem for them to open up wasteland in the north.
Moreover, it would save more than half of the manpower and resources compared to the original plan!
It was truly a divine book. Even without seeing the person, he could already feel its powerful talent!
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and closed the new farming technique.
Wei Shuyu was a little nervous.
There shouldn't be any problems with this book, right?
"Leave this book with me for the time being. In exchange, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold!”
Li Shimin asked the eunuch manager to keep the book in the royal study.
The way he carefully placed it on the plate made all the ministers extremely stunned.
Was this [New Agricultural Techniques] a treasure?
He could actually make His Majesty so careful.
All the ministers discussed animatedly.
"Yes, sir!" Although Wei Shuyu was unwilling, he did not dare to say no.
"Guess what I saw!"
"I saw a major discovery in agriculture.”
"Xuan Ling, have you heard of Qu Yuanli?"
Li Shi Min said with a faint smile as he supported himself with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject has only heard of straight shaft plows, but never of curved shaft plows.”
Fang Xuanling was a little surprised. He had always been in charge of agriculture and commerce, so he had some understanding of the straight shaft plow.
However, he had never heard of a curved shaft plow.
"This is exactly what Zhen wanted to say!"
"Zhen has tried it before, straight shaft plow! It's difficult to turn around, and it's hard to plow the land."
"At that time, I was wondering if there were any more convenient farming tools.”
"What can I do? I can't think of anything."
"I never expected that just now, in the 'New Agricultural Techniques,' it helped me solve the problem that has not been solved for so long!”
"It's Qu Yuanli!"
"The curved shaft plow makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, making it easier to turn and turn. It is flexible to operate and saves manpower and livestock.”
Li Shi Min said leisurely.
Fang Xuanling was surprised to hear this. Was the "New Agricultural Techniques" written on the first place of the list really so magical?
He easily solved the problem that they had never solved.
"Your Majesty, is this reliable?" Fang Xuanling.
"Whether it's reliable or not, won't we know after trying?”
"Zhen will leave this matter to you!”
"If it doesn't succeed, there's actually no loss.”
"But if it succeeds, it'll be amazing! At the very least, there will be more commoners in my Great Tang who will no longer have to starve!”
"This merit is the merit of the entire country!"
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up. Of course, he hoped that everything was true.
"Yes! This humble subject will immediately send someone to study Qu Yuanli!”
Fang Xuanling cupped his fists, not daring to be negligent.
"Good! I still want to read 'On Destroying Buddha and Enriching the World'!”
Li Shi Min's words caused all the ministers to gasp.
