Agricultural production has now become the most important part of every country. As long as agricultural production reaches the predetermined goals of each country and is put into the market or sold privately, the account will be settled.

Li Shimin is now looking carefully at a drawing in the capital. This drawing is a mechanical structure that has made a major breakthrough in agricultural production in history. It has been widely used in history and has been passed down through the ages.

"How much can be made?" Li Shimin asked Li Daliang, Minister of Industry, about how much the machinery on this drawing can produce.

Li Daliang closed his eyes, counted with his right fingers, opened his eyes and replied: "We can make up to three hundred such plows a month, because our conditions are very limited, the materials cannot be evenly distributed, and the manpower is still limited. This curved shaft plow

It’s easy to do, but putting it into practice requires experimentation.”

These difficulties are not too difficult for Li Shimin. Although the Tang Dynasty is famous for its martial arts, the thesis is not much different. Li Daliang is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and is in charge of construction. These problems should not have stumped him in the first place.

thing.

So Li Shimin asked Li Daliang how much of these materials were needed. Although the data Li Daliang gave was not very large, the wood required was all domestically scarce wood. Not only that, but other countries had to sell it to them before they could make it.

The wood quality within the current territory of the Tang Dynasty is not very hard, and it can be said that it cannot adapt to the support of large projects at all, so Li Daliang said these words to let them import some wood for manufacturing.

"There are always more solutions than difficulties, so just go ahead and do it boldly. I will solve the wood problem for you." Li Shimin agreed to Li Daliang's demand for materials and let him go ahead. He would try his best to solve any difficulty for them.

and try not to let them have any difficulties as much as possible.

Li Daliang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will start preparations now."

The Quyuan plow has outstanding achievements in the history of the Tang Dynasty. It was developed by the people in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty based on the continuous innovation and transformation of their predecessors. They overcame obstacles in agricultural issues and won one victory after another. In ancient Chinese agriculture,

It left a heavy mark in history, and its improvements and improvements have been spread to this day.

Li Daliang returned to the workshop of the Ministry of Works and told all the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works what Li Shimin had said, asking them to hurry up and prepare for the manufacturing work of the curved shaft plow, and familiarize themselves with the drawings as soon as possible, and start manufacturing work as soon as the materials are in place.

At this time, Du Ruhui, who was in charge of domestic procurement, had just returned to the capital. Before he could stop for a while, he was summoned by Li Shimin to the palace to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, Du Ruhui, comes to see you!" Du Ruhui came to the palace and paid homage to Li Shimin who was in the main hall.

Li Shimin nodded slightly and responded: "No need to be polite, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Du Ruhui stood up, he looked at Li Shimin's expression and seemed to know something, but he said nothing. As we all know, the emperor's heart cannot be understood.

Sure enough, Li Shimin had almost the same idea as Du Ruhui. He told Du Ruhui about the purchase and asked him to set off to buy wood from various countries that day.

"How about it, can you take on this mission?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "I... I obey your order! Go now, go now!"

For Li Shimin, the relationship between Du Ruhui and him was relatively good, but once the order was given, it was no longer a matter of personal friendship. Refusing the order would lead to bigger problems.

Looking at Du Ruhui striding away from the palace gate, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. It seemed that Du Ruhui was quite cute.

"Oh... ok, you don't have to worry. I have solved the wood problem for you. Now I will prepare some wood for you to test first." Li Shimin took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Daliang.

Li Daliang laughed loudly when he saw the news. He had no escape route in the first place, and he felt relieved after Li Shimin took care of the matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, because of the problem of lumber, Li Daliang was very troubled in the past few days. He sent everyone from the Ministry of Works to various lumberyards to ask for lumber. As a result, the officials in charge of lumberyard management said that they could not arrange lumber for them. In the end, they had no choice but to send Prime Minister Wei Zheng to

They pulled it out, and only transferred about three carts of oak wood. Oak trees are extremely scarce there, and only the oak lumber yard on the easternmost border has oak trees. As a result, they can only transfer a small amount. It can be seen that now there is a large amount of oak wood.

It was extremely difficult for Don to build something strong and reliable.

As Li Shimin said, there are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as Du Ruhui can transfer the wood, they can split it, process it, refine it and reorganize it as quickly as possible.

Li Daliang sat on a simple stool in the workshop of the work department, looked at the drawings in front of him and murmured: "The problem of wood has been solved, where can we find a test field..."

The most serious problem now is that the Tang Dynasty allowed the sale of land, but Li Shimin added another condition to this condition. Unlike the Song Dynasty, the Tang government did not allow the government to intervene in the sale of people's land, and they could not buy or sell farmers' land at will.

, unless farmers are willing and provide relevant evidence representing their willingness to sell their land to the official.

The main reason is that the land has been allocated to the common people. The official land is still in the hands of the imperial court, but the management power is in the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Liu Wenjing, the Minister of Household Affairs, almost got into a fight with Li Daliang because of an incident some time ago.

He didn't completely break up because of this incident, so he didn't want to talk to Liu Wenjing, so he gave up.

In this way, after about ten days, Du Ruhui finally received the latest news. They purchased about 4,000 kilograms of oak wood from the Jin and Song Dynasties, and they sent the supplies to the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early morning, Li Daliang came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a bright face. Wei Zheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Xiang Wei, I heard that Keming has purchased the wood?"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Daliang with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Can't you be more calm?"

Li Daliang, who was standing opposite Wei Zheng, chuckled and said, "Oh, Prime Minister Wei, you also know that I can't hold my temper any time there is any good news."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zheng sent an order for timber to Li Daliang. Sima Yan and Zhao Kuangyin respectively sent troops and horses to escort the timber, and they would arrive in Tang Dynasty in almost five days.

Seeing Li Daliang smiling, Wei Zheng shook his head, he still couldn't change his temper.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Wei! With these wood, our Ministry of Industry can do something bold!"
Chapter completed!
