This sudden change shocked everyone.
The Emperor had always been cautious, why would he make such a fuss?
Could it be that he was frightened by Luo Yi's rebellion?
Right. Once the Youzhou army moved out, the northern borders would be empty, and the Turks would have an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, the Great Tang would be in danger.
Li Jing wanted to comfort Li Shiming and calm him down.
" Your Majesty is wise," Zhangsun Wuji said." Please give me a commander's seal. Li Jing and I will lead the Chang 'an army to meet up with the garrison in Luoyang."”
Li Shi Min sat down and said with a smile,"Army? There's no need. You two can go by yourselves."
The two of them put down Luo Yi's rebellion. Emperor, are you joking?
Cheng Yaojin lowered his head and laughed in his heart. Li Shimin must have learned something from Qin Fang.
Cheng Yaojin thought to himself," Luckily, I'm smart. If I were the one who spoke, I would be finished."
"This... Your Majesty, now is not the time for jokes.”
Zhangsun Wuji was shocked. He felt that his reputation was too high, so Li Shiming took the opportunity to kill him.
Li Jing was shocked." Your Majesty, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't resist thousands of troops. What did I do wrong?"”
What Li Jing meant was,"I've offended you, and you want to use Luo Yi's sword to kill me?"
"Don't worry." Li Shiming smiled faintly.”
Luo Yi had 100,000 soldiers and was well-known for his ruthlessness. Otherwise, Emperor Yang would not have sent him to Youzhou.
Youzhou was a place where the Turks would clash head-on, and it would not do without fierce generals.
Although Li Jing's strength was strong, against Luo Yi, he would probably still be abused.
To let him and Zhangsun Wuji face so many troops, wasn't that courting death?
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhao and the Duke of Wei are the pillars of the Great Tang. We cannot let them die.”Wei Zheng took a step forward and advised.
Li Shimin was shocked. Why did the old farmer suddenly scold him?
Li Shimin thought that Qin Fang's appearance had made Wei Zheng less presumptuous.
When Wei Zheng stood up, Li Jing and Zhangsun Wuji felt as if they had just survived a disaster.
Now, only Wei Zheng could persuade Li Shimin.
Normally, as long as Li Shimin made any strange movements, Wei Zheng would seize the opportunity to publicize that he was not a wise ruler.
What he said today was so absurd that Wei Zheng could not let it go.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your decree and quickly mobilize the army to deal with the rebel army Luo Yi.”Wei Zhengyi shouted sternly.
The ministers broke out in cold sweat for Yuchi Gong and Zhangsun Wuji. If not for Wei Zheng, their lives would have been in danger.
Wei Zheng arrogantly said to Li Shimin,"Now that the country is in danger, His Majesty actually played with the lives of his subjects. This is not what a wise ruler should do.”
Li Shi Min took a step back, a smug smile on his face.
"The farmhouse…Duke of Zheng, how am I not a wise ruler?”
Li Shi Min stroked his beard with a calm expression. The old farmer is usually reasonable, so I can't argue with him.
Today, I have Qin Fang's trick up my sleeve. I'm going to mess with him.
"Your Majesty, Luo Yi has an army of 100,000 and many soldiers under him. He is a brave and good general. You sent the Duke of Zhao and the Duke of E to get rid of them. I'm afraid that the future generations will say that the Emperor is like Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han. They can only suffer together and not share happiness.”
Wei Zheng was righteous and aggressive.
"Do you also know a lot about military affairs?" Li Shimin asked with a leisurely smile.”
Wei Zheng cursed in his heart, F * ck, you dare to say that I don't understand?
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is right. Please send troops as soon as possible. There is no time to lose."”
The Great Tang strategist spoke, and everyone agreed.
Li Shi Min's face darkened as he stood up." I've made up my mind. Duke Zhao and Duke Wei, accept the decree!"”
The Emperor's anger was like a bolt of lightning that no one could resist. The reason why Wei Zheng was so arrogant was because Li Shimin was willing to listen.
Li Shimin was furious. Wei Zheng lowered his head and said nothing.
"I accept the decree." Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing bowed and accepted the order.
"The two of you will go to Youzhou now and put down Luo Yi's rebellion. After that, take in Luo Yi's cavalry and appease the people.”
Li Shi Min said coldly, his arrogant aura suffocating everyone.
Cheng Yaojin laughed,"These guys really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."”
"I accept your orders!" Li Jing and Zhangsun Wuji felt as if they had been sentenced to death.
"You may leave!"
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing walked out of the Gate of Heaven Influence with difficulty.
"Duke Zhao, why don't you ask the Empress? After all, you're her biological brother."”
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head." Your Majesty wants me to go, so I have to go!" His Majesty's orders are like a mountain. No one can disobey them, even if the Empress is my sister.”
Li Jing sighed and said," The monarch and his subjects will never have a good ending. Everyone, take care. We're leaving."”
The two of them mounted their horses without a single servant.
Everyone watched them leave, their hearts turning cold.
If they left, who would be next?
The group of people sighed and dispersed.
The ministers dispersed and the Empress went to the royal study.
"Your Majesty, Qin Fang predicted that Luo Yi would die?”On that day, Li Shiming was drunk, but the Empress was sober. She heard Qin Fang's words clearly.
"That's right. Qin Fang said that Luo Yi died halfway, so I sent Duke Zhao and Duke Wei. Looking at them, their faces were black with fear.”Li Shi Min chuckled.
? The feeling of showing off in front of a minister was really too satisfying.
"Emperor, I feel that you've been naughty with Qin Paoxue.”the Empress said with a smile.
"Oh right, tomorrow I will go and see how the progress of the curved shaft plow is. This thing can help the people improve their farming efficiency. It has to be popularized before the spring plowing officially begins.”
"Alright, Second Brother."
It was already late, so everyone went to rest.
The next morning, Li Shimin brought the Empress to the Ministry of Works. Assistant Minister Lu was busy.
"Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Empress." When Assistant Minister Lu saw Li Shi Min, he hurriedly bowed.
"Forget it. How's the progress of Qu Yuan Li's production and promotion?”Li Shi Min asked.
"Reporting to the Emperor, more than a hundred Quyuan Plows have been produced and have been distributed to some villages and towns near Chang 'an.”Lu Youcai replied.
" The efficiency is too slow. Not to mention the entire Tang Empire, even Chang 'an City is difficult to implement.”Li Shi Min frowned.
Lu Youcai felt awkward." We have been working day and night to produce the curved shaft plow, but we don't have enough manpower. The efficiency is too low.”
"Zhen has already thought of a solution.”
"Lu Youcai, divide the craftsmen according to their skill proficiency. The craftsmen with average skill proficiency will be responsible for producing the simple parts of the curved shaft plow. The craftsmen with higher skill proficiency will be responsible for producing the complicated parts of the curved shaft plow.”Li Shiming directly copied Qin Fang's words.
Lu Youcai immediately bowed and said," Your Majesty is wise. If we follow this method of production, the efficiency will increase by more than ten times. Moreover, some craftsmen with ordinary skills can also participate."”
"Not only can this be done for the production of curved shaft plows, but it can also be done for the production of weapons and other farming tools in the future. This is a divine strategy. May I ask the emperor if this method has a name? I can record it down." Lu Youcai asked.
"This method is called the assembly line, which means that the work is carried out in an orderly and efficient manner.”Li Shi Min laughed.
"This name is very appropriate. This lowly subject will remember it in his heart. I must use this 'assembly line' method to produce more curved shaft plows to benefit the people and the Great Tang.”Lu Youcai's face was filled with excitement.
"Alright, Lu Youcai, you can produce according to this method and quickly spread the Quyuan Plough in the Great Tang.”Seeing Lu Youcai prostrating himself, Li Shimin grinned.
