When Lin Xuan returned home, Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing were waiting for him to eat.
"Father, I'm back, I kept you waiting for so long!" Lin Xuan said apologetically.
"It's okay, the meal is just ready, let's sit down and eat." Zhang Qing said with a smile.
Lin Duoduo said angrily: "Finally I can eat, I've been hungry for a long time, mother never let me eat!"
"You little greedy cat, hurry up and eat." Zhang Qing smiled and picked some of Lin Duoduo's favorite dishes.
"Xuan'er, eat more, the military camp is very bitter, right? Mother, you look thinner." Zhang Qing said with some distress.
"Mother, my son is a general, not bitter at all. You see, I am thin because the weather is getting warmer and I have lost my clothes." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He cooks small stoves every day in the military camp. Although it is not as good as at home, it is not bitter.
However, he still enjoyed Zhang Qing's concern very much, which he wanted but could not get in his previous life.
After the meal, Lin Xuan took out the blueprint of Qu Yuanli to Lin Dongyang, and said, "Father, this is a new plow I designed. You ask someone to make some for the tenants in Zhouzhuang."
Lin Dongyang took a look at the drawing and asked, "Is this plow easier to use than the Zhiyuan plow?"
Lin Xuan said confidently: "I don't know how many times better than the Zhiyuan plow. Not only is it faster to plow the ground, but it can be pulled with only one ox, which is very trouble-free."
Quyuanli has been used for more than 1000 years, and it was not replaced until the rise of machinery.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it tomorrow!" Lin Dongyang nodded and said.
"Father, didn't you say you wanted to invite Duo Duo to have a husband? Did you invite him?" Lin Xuan asked.
Speaking of this, Lin Dongyang became angry and said: "Why didn't you invite me, but she didn't study hard at all, and complained that the words were too difficult to recognize."
"Father, Duo Duo is still young, I'll figure out a way later." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
In ancient times, there was no pinyin, and the characters were in traditional characters, which was indeed difficult to recognize.After all, Dodo is only five years old, so it's normal to feel difficult.
When Lin Xuan is going to be free, he will make out the pinyin, so that his sister's learning will be much easier.
……
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan wrapped the soaked chili seeds in gauze, told Chunyue Yuhe to watch the stove in the house, and took his soldiers to Zhouzhuang.
Fields can be seen along the road, and many people are already busy.
Lin Dongyang told Xu Guangfu yesterday that Lin Xuan would come over today, so Xu Guangfu had been waiting at the entrance of Zhouzhuang village early.
Seeing Lin Xuan approaching, he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "I've seen Lord Sir!"
Lin Xuan got off his horse and said with a smile, "Excuse me, my father said that the construction site is well-managed by you. It's a blessing to you during this time."
"It's a small honor to be able to work for Sir Alex." Xu Guangfu said.
"Let's go, take me to the construction site first." Lin Xuan said.
Instead of riding a horse, he walked with Xu Guangfu.
"By the way, how is the glass burning?" Lin Xuan asked.
The windows he designed all needed glass, and there was no way to install window paper. If the house is built and the glass has not been made, then the fun will be great.
"Returning to Sir, Liuli Shao has burned out, but there are too many impurities, so it can't be used at all. The small ones have already told them to hurry up and experiment, and it shouldn't take long to get it out." Xu Guangfu said.
When Lin Xuan asked him to burn colored glaze with sand, he didn't believe that the valuable colored glaze would be made of sand.
I didn't expect to burn colored glaze, although it is still far behind the colored glaze sold in the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.
But there is no doubt that Liuli is made of sand.
"You ask them to raise the temperature a little bit, and try to burn it for a longer time." Lin Xuan said.
All he knew was that glass is made from sand, how much temperature it takes, and how long it takes to burn it, so he was blinded.
"Yes, I will send someone to notify you soon." Xu Guangfu replied.
It didn't take long to arrive at the construction site.
Compared with when Lin Xuan came last time, this piece of land has been leveled.
Many common people craftsmen are busy in full swing.
"How many people are working here?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Guangfu said: "Going back to Lord Sir, the Ministry of Industry sent more than 100 craftsmen, and the small ones hired more than 800 young and strong from Zhouzhuang and several other villages. Now there are about 1000 people here."
"Did you encounter any difficulties during the process of building the house?" Lin Xuan asked.
"I have encountered some difficulties. They are all minor problems, and the minor ones have been dealt with. The spring plowing is about to start. These young and strong are the main labor force in the family. In a few days, most people will go back to the spring plowing. When the time comes, the construction site will be closed. No one is available." Xu Guangfu said.
He has no way to solve this matter. The construction site needs a lot of young and strong people to do physical work.
These jobs can't be done by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
"Don't worry about this, I've already figured out a solution." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
When Quyuanli is popularized, ordinary women and old people can plow the land, and it is very fast.
Seeing that the farming season will not be delayed, these young adults will naturally continue to work on the construction site.
After all, his wages are very high.
Lin Xuan wandered around the construction site, saw that Xu Guangfu was doing exactly what he asked, and when there was no problem, he praised him, told him to make those workers pay attention to safety, and left.
……
Royal Palace
After Li Shimin came down to the court, Li Mu reported, "What Your Majesty ordered yesterday has been done."
Li Shimin said excitedly: "Hurry up and send someone to the palace, and bring a cow over here. Send someone to call Lin Xuan into the palace.!"
"Yes!" Li Mu took the order and left.
Lin Xuan walked halfway, and saw a group of cavalry approaching from a distance, heading straight for him.
"Your Majesty has summoned me, and please invite the uncle of Jingyang County to follow me into the palace as soon as possible!"
Lin Xuan was amused when he saw it. Isn't this Li Junxian?
"General Li, I wonder why His Majesty called me?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
"This general doesn't know either, but Jingyang County Boss should follow me as soon as possible, and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long." Li Junxian said coldly.
"Then let's go!" Lin Xuan said lightly.
He really wanted to make friends with Li Junxian, but since he didn't appreciate it, there was no need for him to put a hot face on a cold ass.
……
"Chen, see Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan saluted respectfully.
Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Let's go, follow me to the Imperial Garden."
Lin Xuan was at a loss, why did he go to the Imperial Garden?
Flower viewing?
There are no flowers to admire now, and he remembered that all the flowers in the palace should be cut down by Li Shimin's order.
Seeing that Li Shimin had already taken the lead, Lin Xuan quickly followed.
Lin Xuan didn't understand until he came to the imperial garden and saw the plow on the ground and the tied ox.
"You fix this plow, I want to try it myself." Li Shimin said.
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan untied the tied ox rope, led it to the plow, hung the yoke of the plow around the ox's neck, clapped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty is ready!"
"How to use this plow?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, you can lift the plow and lift the armrest slightly up to lighten the platform." Lin Xuan said.
Seeing that Li Shimin was ready as he said, Lin Xuan said, "Your Majesty, pay attention, I'm going to drive the cattle."
Lin Xuan drove the cattle and walked forward.
Li Shimin was taken aback when it was started. He had also helped the plow before, and the plow was very laborious, and he had to push a little harder behind him.
But Quyuanli felt very different, he didn't need to make any effort at all, he just needed to hold the plow so that it wouldn't fall down, and just walked forward.
"Good! Very good! With this plow, I don't have to worry about people missing the farming season anymore!" Li Shimin said loudly with joy on his face.
"Your Majesty, there is a turn ahead, Your Majesty, pay attention to turning to the left." Lin Xuan said.
According to what Lin Xuan said, Li Shimin turned the handrail to the left and turned the corner naturally.
"Good! Good! Good!" Li Shimin called out three times, showing how satisfied he was with Qu Yuanli.
The previous straight shaft plow was long and heavy, and it took a lot of effort to turn it. It is not as light and flexible as the curved shaft plow.
After plowing a few more times, Li Shimin shouted, "Okay, stop."
Lin Xuan listened to the words, taught the cow to the imperial army on one side, walked up to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, what about the Quyuanli designed by the minister?"
