The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, what kind of immortal village is this? It can be even richer than the prosperous residents of Chang'an! Once such agricultural tools are popularized throughout the country, Datang's agricultural production capacity will certainly be greatly enhanced, the people's lives will be rich, the treasury will be full, and the army will be able to train and ...... for a long time

The eldest grandson Wuji was completely dumbfounded, it turned out that there was such a good thing, and he almost objected because of short-sightedness, which was really stupid!

Li Er smiled slyly and asked, "Auxiliary, do you still think that I am wasting the treasury?"

Duan Lun also suddenly realized, and immediately made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, time is running out! Weichen proposed to start making Quyuan ploughs tonight, and it must be sent to all parts of the country within ten days, spring plowing is imminent, and summer is a new round of sowing climax, and if you miss this moment, you will delay the opportunity of a year's harvest in vain!"

According to this progress, this year's Quyuan plough alone can double the income of the people, and even if the imperial court lightly pays a small tax, the tax revenue of the state treasury can be increased by more than 50 percent. Who would be stupid enough to sit idly by and ignore such a beautiful thing?

At the end of the discussion, everyone's faces were flushed with excitement, and they were full of anticipation for the great changes that were about to be bringed.

Seeing this, Li Er smiled slightly: "You guys, don't be too happy, you haven't seen the real holy relics yet." In time, it will bring you even greater surprises!".

At this time, no one noticed that there was a cloth bag in the corner of Li Ershu's case, and I didn't know what was hidden in ......

Li Changge recently worked hard to finally prepare a batch of fertilizer samples. Although the quantity was limited and could not meet the needs of large-scale agricultural production, he did not use it at will or give it to his neighbors, but kept half of it as a follow-up test material, and the other half was generously given to Li Er for him to try it himself.

And in the cloth bag is the fertilizer ...... given by Li Changge

After Li Er got the fertilizer, he was very excited.

According to Li Changge, the effect of this fertilizer on increasing production is much more amazing than that of Quyuan plow. Li Changge privately revealed that the "two or three times" increase in production he said was still a rather conservative estimate. He also taught Li Er a trick for agricultural technology verification - the control test method. That is, the same crop seeds are planted in two fields with the same soil quality, one is cultivated in the traditional way, and the other is applied with chemical fertilizer, and finally the actual efficiency of chemical fertilizer is intuitively judged by comparing the results. This method is known as the method of controlling variables in modern science, and Li Er is very pleased with it, regarding it as a mastery in the field of agriculture.

However, at this moment, the actual effect of the fertilizer has not yet appeared, and Li Er has not pressed the table for the time being, waiting for the results of the experiment to be revealed.

Subsequently, ......

Li Er turned the topic to another important matter: "The invention of Quyuan Plough is of great significance to the country and the people, and I plan to reward it, what do you think?"

Duan Lun and Fang Xuanling first agreed.

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned again and reminded: "It should indeed be rewarded so as to inspire more people to follow suit and innovate." It's just that what kind of knighthood and official position His Majesty is going to bestow? "

Li Er proposed to reward a county man with the title of knighthood and give 200 households to the restaurant.

As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in nodding and seconding: "The reward level of the county man not only shows the honor, but also does not cost too much treasury resources, and will not cause criticism from other officials." "

Although Du Ruhui, Li Jing and Wei Zheng knew the future situation, they knew that Li Changge would be restored to the status of the prince sooner or later, and all the current rewards were temporary, but they still looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Duan Lun had a different opinion: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it may not be appropriate to only seal a county man." Qu Yuanli's contribution was great, benefiting the people and the court, and if such a reward was only given, the people of the world might think that His Majesty was too stingy and failed to reward the virtuous people. "

The eldest grandson Wuji insisted on his opinion and retorted: "If the reward is too high, such as a high position such as the national prince, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other officials in the court and even the ladies of the imperial order. After all, although this merit is great, it is not a military merit, and if it is easily awarded such a high lord, it may make the hundred officials think that the imperial court lightly confers the title. Please keep in mind that during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, excessive rewards led to the proliferation of officials, which not only reduced the prestige of the rewards, but also increased the burden on the people, which was a thankless measure. "

The eldest grandson Wuji thought in his heart, even if he didn't give a reward, that person wouldn't be able to take back the design drawings of Qu Yuan Plough and the knowledge that everyone had memorized, it was better to build a small temple and set up a ancestral tablet to show recognition, why pay too much real money?

However, this idea has not been declared, after all, the current situation still needs to balance the interests of all parties, and the foundation of the national policy cannot be easily shaken.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, is a shrewd man who has always acted profit-oriented, and if there is no obvious benefit in a thing, he thinks that it is not worth investing.

Of course, he also understands that sometimes the reward is too low and may cause a brain drain, especially when this person has the wisdom of Guiguzi, the talent of Zhuge Liang, and the contribution is far more than Qu Yuanli, if the reward is not appropriate, the other party is likely to be dissatisfied, and the court will lose an important pillar.

But the eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself, how could such a character appear easily?

As for the poet god boy at the piano fighting event a few days ago, it may still be worth a fight, and others don't have to bother so much.

Just when the eldest grandson Wuji thought that his views were leaky and his words were impeccable, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and Li Jing, who didn't talk much on weekdays and had been out during the day, covered their mouths and snickered.

This made the eldest grandson Wuji puzzled: "Why are you laughing? Now that the state of the treasury is worrying, the reward should not be too heavy, this is the truth." "

Li Er obviously understood Eldest Sun Wuji's concerns, and nodded in agreement: "What the auxiliary machine said is reasonable, I know that you are telling the truth." "

But he also knew that if the eldest grandson Wuji made such a suggestion himself, out of prudence, he might really consider lowering the level of the reward, such as never considering such a high position as the hereditary prince.

However, ......

Li Er coughed lightly and continued: "Despite this, this person's merits are indeed remarkable, and no one can deny his effect on improving the lives of the people. Just imagine, if all of us did this, I am afraid that we would not be able to achieve the same effect by exhausting our years, doubling the income of the people. "

The eldest grandson Wuji looked embarrassed and insisted on his opinion: "Although he has merit, after all, it is not a military merit, and his talent is difficult to observe in detail." If the reward is too high, it may be difficult to convince the public, which is the crux of the problem. "

"Auxiliary. Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji indifferently, and secretly laughed in his heart, this old guy was actually opposing the too generous reward for his nephew, which was really funny.

"What if I told you that the one who offered the plough and the potato, and the bow and grenade of the divine arm, were all the same person?"
