After all, he was a general who led an army of 100,000. Why didn't he have any shrewdness?
He secretly pondered. When there was a chance, he would definitely let Old Zhang open her eyes again.
Ying Tian stood up and walked behind Zhang Han, looking at the wooden shelf in front of him.
In the Han Dynasty, the straight-shaft plow appeared, which greatly increased grain production.
During the Tang Dynasty, the curved shaft plow appeared again, and the grain production reached an earth-shattering change.
Now, the appearance of the Quyuan Plow was brought forward by nearly a thousand years!
He had to admit that although this was ancient times and the craftsmanship was very backward, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was not bad. It was exactly the same as recorded in the history books.
"Your Majesty, this thing is really convenient. Not only does it not require a cow, but it can also be operated by one person. It can also turn corners very easily.”
"More importantly, the manufacturing cost is extremely low, and the forging method is also very simple.”
"I've already gathered more than 2,000 craftsmen and they're working day and night.”
"In at most a month, we can definitely promote it to the whole country.”
Zhang Han's voice trembled slightly.
She raised her head and looked at Ying Tian, her eyes filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that a young master who had been ignorant since young could have such an invention.
Even the most famous members of the Mo family were probably only so-so.
Moreover, the ancestors of the Mo family had died many years ago.
But the Ninth Young Master was different. He was a living craftsman!
In the end.
He simply jumped into the farmland and pulled the curved shaft plow to demonstrate.
"F * ck, what did you say? You've already found a craftsman to start promoting it nationwide?”
Ying Tian suddenly widened his eyes, causing Zhang Han's heart to thump.
What?
Could it be…
What had he done wrong?
"Stupid, you are really stupid. This kind of epoch-making thing should be sold to merchants first, then to the various aristocratic families. After extorting a sum of money from them, it should be given to ordinary people.”
"Old Zhang, oh Old Zhang, do you know how empty the national treasury is now?”
"Sigh, I'm afraid I'll have to earn a lot less.”
Ying Tian's voice was filled with disappointment.
Helplessly, he held his forehead. He had only reminded her with his hand. How could something have happened?
It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to give Old Zhang a good lesson in economics.
"I…"
Zhang Han was originally excited.
However…
When he heard Ying Tian's words, he was stunned, and his face was filled with confusion.
For a moment, he did not react.
He was an important official of the imperial court and had followed Qin Shihuang for many years. When had he ever worried about money? He had never thought about this at all.
"Your Majesty, there's still a chance to sell the products to the various aristocratic families…"
He was interrupted halfway.
Ying Tian glared at him." Do you think those merchants are fools?”
"Among the two thousand craftsmen, there are definitely spies of the merchants. After they know that this item can be forged so easily, who will spend a lot of money to buy it?”
"Old Zhang, I'm very disappointed in you."
What the f * ck?
Zhang Han looked at the young Ninth Young Master in disbelief.
He simply regarded the curved shaft plow as a cross-century invention.
He had never thought that there would be so many twists and turns in this.
He did not expect that he would lose a large sum of money because of his mistake.
Thinking of this.
He could not help but feel a little guilty.
Sigh, he was indeed old and could not be compared to a young talent like the Ninth Young Master.
He made up his mind to learn more from His Majesty when he had the chance.
"How's the recruitment of craftsmen going?”Ying Tian stopped joking.
Actually…
He was also in disbelief that Zhang Han had created the Quyuan Plow in two days.
However, he hid his surprise very well and did not show it.
"It's difficult. Other than some commoners who can't make a living and some old craftsmen, there's no way to recruit new blood.”
Zhang Han gathered his thoughts and took out a stack of documents, sighing softly.
Although the Shao Mansion was one of the nine ministers, the status of the craftsman was really too low.
Who was willing to join?
"It's not easy to change this situation in a short period of time. The only way is to reward them heavily.”
"Pass down my orders. From today onwards, the salary of the craftsmen will be doubled. Furthermore, anyone who joins the Shao Mansion will be provided with free food and lodging.”
"Furthermore, the Imperial Residence has a Craftsman School. Anyone who is interested can join the Imperial Residence to study for free.”
Ying Tian said thoughtfully.
The most important thing in ancient times was not money, but food.
More than half of the population lives their whole lives hungry and rarely has the chance to eat their fill.
This was also one of the reasons why any emperor who could ensure that the people did not starve during his reign was called a wise ruler.
"Understood!"
Zhang Han thought for a moment, his eyes shining with a golden light, and he felt even more admiration.
He hadn't been in contact with the Ninth Young Master for long, but he had a new understanding of him.
He had to admit that he did have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Let's go. After staying up all night, it's time for morning court…it's really a little cold.”
Ying Tian stood up and stretched his body, then went to the sink and washed his face.
The cold water in the pool woke him up instantly, and the sleepiness in his body was swept away.
Then…
He went to Qilin Palace with Zhang Han.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Court, Ying Tian noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
In the middle of the hall was a two-meter-tall boulder.
"Your Majesty, when the soldiers were patrolling outside the city gate in the morning, they found a line of words carved on the boulder…"
Wang Li quickly reported in a low voice.
His expression was a little ugly.
"Immersed Jade reappears, meteorites fall from the sky? It was obvious that it was Zhao Gao.”
Ying Tian threw a glance at him, but didn't even bother to look at him. He casually sat down.
