Emperor Wu looked at the civil and military officials and was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time to wait. Anyway, there was plenty of time.
Thinking of what Li Zhao said at the Queen's mausoleum, Emperor Wu felt a little warmer in his heart.
Aristocratic families are always a thorn in their side. Today's Wu Kingdom seems to be strong, but there are many corruptions.
If this problem is not solved, it is really hard to imagine how far Wu Guozuo can go.
From sugar to ice cubes and popsicles, from threshing machines, windmills to curved shaft plows, Emperor Wu saw the power of Li Zhao's layout.
Emperor Wu actually also discovered that although Li Zhao wanted to deal with the aristocratic family, the methods he adopted were not tough. Dealing with the aristocratic family seemed to be secondary. Li Zhao's main purpose was to develop agriculture.
Although people all over the world are calling for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and agriculture as the foundation of the country, there are very few people who actually do what Li Zhao did.
"What? Can't all the civil and military officials of the dynasty come up with a regulation?" Emperor Wu asked, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
The civil and military officials looked a little confused, and looked at Zuo Pushe again, but Zuo Pushe didn't accept their gazes at all.
They really don't want to think about this problem. Last time, they were scolded by the people.
King You is very stingy to only reward so little for such a great contribution.
The people of Kyoto have always been tough, and there are quite a lot of people who curse at the slightest disagreement.
Therefore, Left and Right Pushe did not want to take the blame.
This time, you agree!
Of course, it would be best not to reward King You.
But does it make sense?
"Your Majesty -" Finally, the Minister of War was pushed out and said: "How about we increase the number of King You's guards by five hundred and fifty? As for the reward, it is 10,000 households in the city, and some silk, salt and iron will be rewarded. But Let King You establish a general as prisoner in Jiaozhou."
Thirty thousand households in Shishi Town is an extremely high allocation. Although the fiefdom belongs to Li Zhao and Li Zhao also has the right to rule, the number of people actually controlled by each prince is not very large.
If this reward continues, then all the people in these 30,000 households will become Li Zhao's cronies.
Moreover, these 30,000 households will only need to pay taxes to Li Zhao in the future, and no longer need to pay taxes to the court.
Li Zhao himself would also pay some, but the taxes would be very small.
This is a huge benefit.
Emperor Wu looked around and found that all the princes had no objections, so he said: "That's it!"
"I remember that the March protection period for threshing machines and windmills has arrived. How is the Ministry of Industry prepared?"
The Minister of Works immediately stood up and said: "Everything is ready. I will urge the craftsmen to start work immediately."
Emperor Wu said: "How long will it take to promote it nationwide?"
The Minister of Works looked a little embarrassed. This was supposed to be a matter for Du Jie, the Minister of Works, but because he was under confinement at home, he, the Minister of Works, took over the responsibility.
The Minister of Industry really didn't want to take on this task, but he had to take it.
"If we distribute the drawings and craftsmen to various places, it will take four months at the fastest!"
As we all know, this is an understatement.
For example, the southernmost states and counties of Wu Kingdom are far away, and it may not be possible to reach them in four months.
It is possible to die on the way.
Because there are too many uncertain factors in this, and if you are not acclimatized to the climate, bandits and even aristocratic families will have their thoughts.
Because it is being promoted nationwide so that ordinary people can afford it, the demand is huge.
Whether we can get the tools during the autumn harvest is still a question.
So, this is not a good thing.
When Emperor Wu heard this, his face darkened and he said dissatisfied: "Speed up the progress. No matter what, we must promote it before next autumn harvest."
Emperor Wu also knew very well that matters involving interests were not easy to handle.
Those aristocratic families who bought tools in advance may not be interested, and their hearts may not be truly balanced.
As long as they stumble and move their hands and feet on the road, countless wealthy families and ordinary people who have not purchased tools will have to continue to wait.
This time may be extended indefinitely.
The saying "The sky is high and the emperor is far away" is really not something I say casually.
"Yes!" The Minister of Industry could only accept it bravely.
The court officials still hope to promote it as soon as possible, and their goals are the same.
But it is inevitable that there will be times when there is disunity in a family, let alone the whole country.
"Retreat!"
When Emperor Wu left, the princes headed by the prince still stood there without moving.
From the moment they entered the court, they were in a state of confusion.
They were so shocked that they didn't know how to express their feelings.
Among all the princes, only the fourth prince, Li Yan, was in a good mood.
When the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince and others all looked at him, Li Yan still looked calm.
"King You is becoming more and more powerful, aren't you worried?"
Li Yan looked at the two princes and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu has made great achievements outside, and the farm tools he created are a blessing to all people. Why should I worry?"
The prince frowned.
"Mediocre people only bother themselves!"
The expressions of the prince and the other princes all changed.
The fourth prince Li Yan was mocking them in disguise for being petty and narrow-minded.
"No matter how powerful King You is or how high his status is, he is first and foremost his father's child, and secondly King You!" Li Yan clasped his fists at the crowd and said, "Now all the princes in the dynasty are working hard for a century-old national policy. As a prince, you should put your mind on this!"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" The prince's face turned cold.
"Brother I don't dare!" Li Yan immediately bowed and said: "Brother I have something important to do, please leave first!"
The prince turned blue with anger. He did not expect that Li Yan would dare to mock him as a mediocre person and narrow-minded.
When he wanted to continue to humiliate the Sixth Prince, he did not expect that the Sixth Prince would immediately leave with his men.
The sixth prince suddenly understood that jealousy and arguments were meaningless.
Because Li Zhao has already succeeded, although he has become the most dazzling existence among the brothers, it is undeniable that he is fighting for the overall interests of the Wu Kingdom and has no intention of going to court.
It would indeed be a bit narrow-minded to be jealous of Li Zhao because of his abilities.
Prince, you are at a disadvantage!
…
While the whole country was praising Li Zhao's name and erecting immortal tablets for him, Li Zhao was plowing the land.
It is already November. If the fields are not plowed early, the fields will freeze when the weather gets cold.
Winter crops can be planted quickly before winter comes.
Dang Dang Dang——
Although Prince You's Mansion was already overcrowded, Li Zhao still arranged things in an orderly manner, and the 4,500 Prince You guards were enough to control the situation.
"Please report that the Yu family is visiting!"
Since Quyuli became popular, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit Li Zhao.
Longyang Township is the largest beneficiary group. As the flow of people increases, the income of Longyang Township residents is also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Pretty shrimps and frogs are always packed almost all day long, and even hard-core people can’t handle it.
The aristocratic families who come and go will eventually settle in Longyang Township. Jinyun Township next door is really so greedy that I almost cry.
As a result, Jinjiacun was beaten and excluded again.
The village chief of Jinjia Village cried and begged loudly for mercy.
He thought how happy Li Zhao was at the beginning, but how miserable he was now.
Even if the people in Jinjia Village are all cheap, they can't hold everyone together to hold grudges and torture.
Originally, they had a share of Jinyun Township's incredible wealth, but because of the people in Jinjia Village, they couldn't get anything.
Nowadays, Jinyun Township has become a famous joke.
Not only the various townships in Qingyun County are laughing at it, but even people outside Qingyun County know about it.
In the entire Qingyun County, only Jinyun Township has not yet purchased such a tool.
The aristocratic families in Jinyun Township really wanted to kill the people in Jinjia Village completely.
When Longyang Township could not receive the rest of the people, the township next door immediately took over, and the people of Jinyun Township could only watch the wealth slip away.
