Chapter 141 Empress Changsun
After dinner at Keyunlou, Lin Xuan returned home and drew up drawings in the study alone.
He wanted to draw Quyuanli's drawings.
Lin Dongyang told him today that when he was plowing in spring, he thought of Quyuanli.
Quyuan plow is a plow invented in the late Tang Dynasty.Because it was first popularized and applied in Jiangdong and other places, it is also called Jiangdong plow.
Compared with the previous plows, the Quyuan plow has several major improvements.The first is to change the straight shaft and long shaft to curved shaft and short shaft, and install a freely rotating plow disc on the shaft head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates turning and turning, flexible operation, and saves manpower and labor. livestock.
Quyuan plow is composed of eleven parts.That is, plow share, plow wall, plow bottom, plow, plow forehead, plow arrow, plow shaft, plow tip, plow comment, plow construction and plow plate.
Lin Xuan drew it twice, and he planned to dedicate this drawing to Li Shimin.
Promoted by the imperial court, the common people in the world can use Quyuanli earlier.
After drawing the blueprint, Lin Xuan brought the blueprint to the palace.
Li Shimin was a little surprised that Lin Xuan came to see him, so he was brought in.
"Sir, see Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin glanced at Lin Xuan and said, "You are not staying in the barracks, what are you doing here?"
"I have something to give to Your Majesty first!" Lin Xuan said.
"Oh? What? Show me!" Li Shimin said.
Lin Xuan took out the blueprint and handed it to Li Mu, saying: "I heard that the common people had difficulties in plowing the land, and I thought about it day and night, and finally let me invent a new kind of plow. .”
Of course, he couldn't tell Li Shimin that he thought of getting Qu Yuanli out because he was afraid that he would not be able to hire people to build the house.
Li Shimin took a look at the drawing and asked, "Is this Quyuanli really easy to use?"
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to show his importance to spring plowing, he went to the field to help the plow every year.
But it was all for show, he couldn't understand Qu Yuanli's good or bad.
"Your Majesty, Quyuanli is flexible and light. It only needs a cow to pull it. Even if there is no cow, a grown man can pull it. Your Majesty asks someone to make one and try it." Lin Xuan said.
The straight shaft plow used by Datang now requires two oxen to pull it.
Even so, in order not to tire the cattle, the cattle should be rested frequently.
There was a shortage of cattle in the Tang Dynasty, and the problem of arable land every year has always troubled Li Shimin.
If Quyuanli is really as easy to use as Lin Xuan said.
The land area of Datang is so large and the population is not large, so there are many places that can be opened up and become arable land.
Then Datang's grain output can be greatly increased.
Li Shimin handed the blueprint to Li Mu and said, "Immediately ask someone to make one according to the blueprint."
"Yes!" Li Mu hurried away with the blueprint.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "If this is true, then you have made a great contribution."
"I dare not take credit, as long as I can help His Majesty and the people of the world, I will be satisfied!" Lin Xuan said awe-inspiringly.
"Okay, I get it. The queen has always wanted to see you, so I will have someone take you there." Li Shimin didn't believe Lin Xuan's nonsense.
Empress Changsun wants to see him?
Is this the mother-in-law meeting the son-in-law?
I don't know if this famous empress in history is easy to get along with.
But as the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she is satisfied. The eldest grandson empress should be easier to get along with than Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't know that Lin Xuan was planning him in his heart, so he called an eunuch and asked him to lead Lin Xuan to the Lizheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan bowed his hands and left with the little eunuch.
……
Lin Xuan walked into the Lizheng Hall with some trepidation, he was still very curious about Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun is indeed very beautiful, wearing a very simple palace dress and a golden embroidered bow on her head.
Maybe because of her pregnancy, there was a smile on her face, exuding the brilliance of motherhood.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to look more, bowed his head and saluted: "Chen, Lin Xuan sees the empress!"
"Excuse me, come and give me a seat!" Empress Changsun's voice was gentle, but with a hint of majesty.
"Thank you Empress!" Lin Xuan thanked her and sat down.
"Mother, is sister Changle going to marry this person?"
At this moment, a little boy of four or five years old ran over, looked at Lin Xuan curiously, and asked Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun said with a smile, "The pheasant slave is really smart!"
Pheasant slave?
Isn't he the future Gaozong Lizhi!
"Chen, Lin Xuan is meeting His Royal Highness King Jin!" Lin Xuan quickly got up and saluted.
Li Zhicai was over four years old, and he said timidly, "Excuse me!"
History says that Li Zhi is cowardly, but Lin Xuan doesn't think so.
Li Zhi is not a good bird. When Li Shimin was still there, he dared to hook up with Wu Zetian.
Being so courageous has nothing to do with cowardice.
"Pheasant slave, you go to play first, the queen mother has something to do, I will come to accompany you later!" Empress Changsun said lovingly.
"Okay!" Li Zhi left with the maid in a sullen mood.
"I did as you said, and my qi disease has indeed improved a lot. I have always wanted to thank you." Empress Changsun said.
She is satisfied with Lin Xuan's son-in-law after all, because of Lin Xuan's relationship, his health has indeed improved a lot.
"This is what I should do!" Lin Xuan said respectfully.
"I heard from Gao Ming, and you gave him a lot of advice. That kid Gao Ming doesn't understand many things, and I can't tell you directly. You need to help him more in the future." Empress Changsun said pointedly. .
Lin Xuan groaned secretly in his heart, Empress Changsun asked him to stand in line.
Although he is optimistic about Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian has changed a lot now.
But the inertia of history is very strong. Whether Li Chengqian will be the emperor in the end, he is not sure.
He didn't dare to gamble with his family's wealth and life.
"I understand." Lin Xuan didn't dare to refuse again, so he could only deal with it.
Empress Zhangsun is so smart, she heard the insincere in Lin Xuan's tone, and said with a smile: "Lizhi and Gao Ming have had a very good relationship since childhood, and after you and Lizhi get married, your relationship will naturally become close."
She was implying that Lin Xuan, Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian had a very good relationship. If something happened to Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi would not stand by and watch.
Lin Xuan understood the meaning of her words, and couldn't help asking himself, if Li Li asked him to help Li Chengqian, would he refuse?
He couldn't refuse at all, and he couldn't refuse.
"Empress, I understand!" Lin Xuan said.
He has no choice but not to marry Li Lizhi.
But is it possible not to marry Li Lizhi?
Not to mention that he likes Li Lizhi, even if he doesn't, Li Shimin has already ordered a marriage, and he can't refuse.
If he dared to divorce Li Shimin, Li Shimin would definitely kill him.
He is not five surnames seven Wang, dare to reject Li Shimin.
However, it is not impossible to support Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian has indeed changed a lot recently. If he sharpens it a bit, he will not be comparable to Li Shimin, but at least he is much stronger than Li Zhi.
And because of him, Empress Changsun may not die so early.
As long as Empress Changsun does not die so early, the possibility of Li Chengqian ascending to the throne is very high.
Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are very good. I will tell His Majesty that you and Lizhi will get married next year."
"Thank you Empress!"
Is this an exchange?
Lin Xuan didn't know, and he didn't want to think about these things.
Next, Empress Changsun asked about Lin Xuan's family situation.
Lin Xuan answered one by one without hiding anything.
His information, Empress Changsun may be clearer than himself, there is no point in concealing it.
"See Your Majesty!" The voice of worship sounded from outside the hall.
Li Shimin strode in.
Lin Xuan quickly stood up and saluted.
Li Shimin ignored Lin Xuan, but quickly stepped forward to support the eldest grandson empress who was about to salute, and said reproachfully, "Didn't I say that you don't need to salute if you are pregnant."
"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be broken, and concubines are queens, so they should lead by example!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"I am still the emperor, I have the final say!" Li Shimin said.
Lin Xuan bent over and didn't say anything, and ate a wave of dog food.
"Your Majesty, Lin Xuan is still here!" Empress Changsun said cautiously.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Be flat, why are you still here?"
Lin Xuan was speechless, co-author, you didn't see me just now.
"Your Majesty, empress, I will leave now!" Lin Xuan said.
"Lin Xuan, don't rush to leave, it's so late, go back after dinner." Empress Changsun asked to stay.
Lin Xuan was a little moved, he was still looking forward to the imperial meal in the palace.
But seeing Li Shimin's dark face, Lin Xuan said: "Madam, it's getting late, I'd better go home and eat."
"Go, it's getting dark, go back quickly." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
Lin Xuan slandered in his heart as he walked, you knew it was dark and you didn't know how to let me have a meal.
Thank you Iron Blood Wang Feng for the monthly pass, thank you for your support!
