The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

The

implementation of the imperial examination system was to completely break the monopoly of power of the family, and the equalization system was the beginning of the large-scale disintegration of the old land relations.

Wei Zheng was well versed in history and knew that Liu Bang had implemented similar policies in the early Han Dynasty, but over time, various factors led to the concentration of land in the hands of powerful people, which eventually led to a series of social unrest and the decline of imperial power.

If the people were able to farm efficiently without oxen, the process of land annexation would be greatly slowed down. If the Han Dynasty had such artifacts, perhaps a peasant uprising such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion might have been delayed for hundreds of years.

Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others also realized this far-reaching impact, their eyes were red, and they realized that this invention might extend the Tang Dynasty for more than two hundred years, or even surpass the sum of the merits of the three of them.

The three of them were in awe, bowed deeply to Li Changge, and praised his intelligence and virtue for the people.

Li Changge was a little overwhelmed by this sudden praise, and felt that everyone was exaggerating too much, but they were just improving the plow.

Li Er understood the political and economic implications of this, and Empress Changsun still didn't know why, and after Wei Zheng explained it clearly, she was also so surprised that she covered her mouth. After careful consideration, it can indeed be said that this thing can bring happiness for generations to come.

Although Li Changge was surprised by this, he knew that the appearance time of Quyuan plough was roughly in the late Tang Dynasty and early Song Dynasty, some people believe that it was a product of the late Tang Dynasty, and some people say that it was invented during the Zhao Dynasty of the Song Dynasty. Although the exact inventor is still inconclusive, it is undeniable that in that turbulent era, the Quyuan plough did play a huge role.

Li Changge still modestly said that everyone is exaggerating, he thinks that there are many things that can change the world, and what he has done is just one of them. He promised to compile teaching materials as soon as possible, so that more people of the Tang Dynasty can come into contact with and learn these knowledge, and there may be more dragon-like characters in the future to create more miracles for the country.

Li Changge's words made Li Er and the others look surprised and confused, and they asked in disbelief: "There is so much knowledge in the world that can change fate?

Du Ruhui directly doubted this, "What Gongzi has learned is extremely profound, almost the way of heaven, how can it be comprehended and mastered by mortals?"

Li Jing also echoed and said: "The road to study is already difficult, and the more advanced and complex the knowledge, the more difficult it is for most people to understand. "

Li Changge couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, knowing that these so-called "elementary school" knowledge is not profound in modern times, but in the eyes of these people, it has become a heavenly existence. He no longer demanded an explanation, and let the crowd shake their heads in disbelief.

Everyone thought that Li Changge was too modest, and even a little excessive. How is it possible that everyone can learn such a knowledge that seems to be only mastered by immortals?

Compared to this incredible statement, everyone pays more attention to the practical utility of the curved plow.

This miraculous agricultural tool not only makes it possible to cultivate by manpower, but also greatly improves the ability of people to resist natural disasters and cope with changes. Recall that since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the continuous wars have led to a sharp decline in population, and many places are desolate. "Today's Tang Dynasty, although the territory is vast, but sparsely populated, due to the infiltration of the Hu people and long-term wars in many areas, people are accustomed to nomadic life, unwilling to return to farmland to work, so the land is seriously deserted.

With the Quyuan plough, the cost of reclaiming wasteland will be greatly reduced, and with its widespread use, Datang's cultivated land area is expected to double in a few years. With the cultivation of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, the prospect of improving people's livelihood in the future is exciting.

Wei Zheng looked at the busy farmers in the fields while walking, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, the genius of the son is outstanding, and we are really beyond our reach." Although we are revered as the reincarnation of a certain star, we are far inferior to the son in terms of inventions and creations that can greatly improve people's livelihood. "

Faced with this company's sigh, Li Changge responded with a chuckle: "Everyone, you still have limited knowledge, this quyuan plow is just a small skill of carving insects." "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, they didn't know that in Li Changge's heart, the real change was still ...... ahead

"Carving insect skills?" Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard Li Changge comment on Qu Yuanli.

He couldn't help but shout in his heart: The invention and creation of greatly increasing the cultivated land area of the Tang Dynasty and providing livelihood support for thousands of people was actually called a small skill of carving insects by Gongzi? Could it be that Gongzi had a wrong understanding of the word "small skills of carving insects"?

Du Ruhui and Li Er also looked confused and puzzled, they looked at each other, obviously unable to accept this statement.

Only the eldest grandson queen smiled silently, watching her son show his unique insights, her heart was full of relief and pride.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Li Changge continued to expound his views: "Everyone, your vision is still not long-term enough. If a tool like the Quyuan plow is in a period of peace and stability, even if I don't invent it, the people will sooner or later think of similar improvement methods after continuous practice and exploration. "

He further explained: "Moreover, even if the rate of reclamation is accelerated, the total amount of arable land in the world is limited. In other words, even if the total area of cultivated land increases in the short term, the total amount of land resources does not increase accordingly, so in the long run, the problem of cultivated land reserves is not fundamentally solved. Therefore, we are too excited about the short-term rapid production increase effect brought by the curved plow, which is actually a bit one-sided. "

Li Changge's words were like cold water poured on Wei Zheng and the others, making them calm down and re-examine this issue.

Indeed, even though the quyuan plough can improve the efficiency of farming, on the whole, the upper limit of the total amount of cultivated land has not been fundamentally solved, and this reality makes people sigh and ......

Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, and he asked eagerly: "Childe, you just said that Quyuan plough is just a small skill, could it be that you have a higher skill?"

Li Changge smiled slightly, his eyes revealing deep meaning.

"It seems that you have a lot of experience in this area, and you have a lot of land at home, right?" he said lightly.

Wei Zheng and the others immediately nodded like garlic, eager to know the more advanced techniques that Li Changge was talking about.

"Yes, yes, what Childe said is extremely true! Please don't hesitate to give advice!" They were secretly anxious in their hearts, expecting to get more shocking news from Li Changge's mouth.
