"You've done well. With potatoes, I'm afraid it won't be long before the commoners no longer have to worry about food!”Li Er laughed and looked at Xiao Tian with appreciation.
Now that the world was in a state of chaos, it would take a lot of time to recover and develop, and what was needed was money and food.
To be precise, it was food!
Now that Xiao Tian had solved the biggest problem, once the potatoes were promoted, with such a terrifying production, Li Er himself did not dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be.
"From now on, you will continue to be the Minister of Works. Do whatever you want to do. Within the scope of your authority, you still have the power to kill!”
" At the same time, I'll give you a mansion in Chang 'an, 1,000 taels of gold, and 500 guards!”Li Er didn't hesitate and directly threw out the reward for Xiao Tian.
He knew very well that these things might not be of much importance to Xiao Tian, but he should still show the attitude he should have.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Tian smiled and did not reject the reward.
Duan Lun, Wang Shan, and the others couldn't help but sigh when they heard Li Er's words.
They knew that their days would not be easy.
"Other than these potatoes, don't tell me…you don't have anything else to show me?”Suddenly, Li Er turned his head and looked at Xiao Tian meaningfully.
This sudden change immediately caught the attention of the others, especially Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng. Their gazes immediately fell on Xiao Tian.
They understood the Emperor's character very well and knew that your son would not say such words for no reason.
The Emperor might have information in his hands that they did not know. In other words…the results of these few months might not be just the potatoes they saw.
As expected.
A smile appeared on Xiao Tian's face. He did not intend to hide anything.
"Other than these potatoes, there is something more important. Your Majesty, please follow me!”
Li Er was not surprised by Xiao Tian's answer. Then, he brought the rest of the people with puzzled faces and followed Xiao Tian to the farmland outside the manor.
Under Xiao Tian's arrangement, a few guards carried the Quyuan Plow and led a cattle as they slowly walked towards the crowd.
It was only then that Zhangsun Wuji remembered that Xiao Tian had indeed gathered the capable craftsmen in Chang 'an City according to the initial intelligence.
Could it be that the tool they made was the one in front of him?
Zhangsun Wuji turned around and glanced at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling. He could see the anticipation and curiosity in each other's eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is called a curved shaft plow. Its most direct use is to change the farming methods of the people. Even without the use of cattle, it can be operated by manpower alone!”Xiao Tian briefly introduced the functions of the Quyuan Plow.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the surroundings widened their eyes, including Li Er, who looked at the seemingly simple Quyuan Plow in disbelief.
They didn't pay much attention to the function that Xiao Tian had mentioned just now. The main point was that it could be operated even without a cow.
These people did not understand the farming methods of the common people. Even if some of them knew a little about it, it was all theories they had read from books.
However…
Everyone present understood one thing, and that was how important the cattle were.
In a sense, cattle represented the ability of the people to work and also determined the harvest of the year. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have explicitly prohibited the killing of cattle and the eating of beef.
If what Xiao Tian said was true, this tool alone could greatly reduce the frequency of the use of cattle and ensure the harvest of the people.
Then this was very different!
"Is that true?" Li Er turned to Xiao Tian and asked seriously.
With the potato incident, he had enough trust in Xiao Tian now.
However…
Such a thing was a little too unbelievable. He just didn't dare to believe it.
" Your Majesty, please take a look..." Xiao Tian did not explain much. Just like before, he let the guards put the curved shaft plow on the cattle and began to operate it himself.
The curved shaft plow easily cut through the field, leaving a very deep gully. The soil that had been turned up lay neatly on both sides, giving people a pleasing feeling.
Seeing this scene, even those who didn't understand farming could see how useful this thing was.
It didn't seem to take much effort to finish plowing.
In order to prove that his words were true, Xiao Tian called for two guards to replace the cattle after they finished plowing.
Although it was much slower to use humans as a substitute compared to the cattle, the effect was exactly the same as before, and it did not waste too much energy.
Everyone was stunned…
They were surprised to find that this seemingly simple tool could actually allow people to replace cattle.
From now on, there would be unprecedented innovation and changes in farming.
" Good, good, good…" Li Er said three times in a row, and the way he looked at Xiao Tian had completely changed…
