In the court, the situation suddenly changed.

Li Zexuan, who was originally charged with two crimes, actually resolved the crisis with just a few words and turned himself around.

This quick wit, this calmness really doesn't feel like it's the first time you go to Hajj and see a young boy.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda and others looked at Li Zexuan with faint appreciation.

Li Er thought that everything should be fine now, so he asked, "Do you have anything else to report?"

Unexpectedly, someone actually stood up at this time, it was Yan Lide.

Yan Lide's mood today was really full of twists and turns. He originally planned to ask for credit for Li Zexuan at the beginning of the morning, but he didn't know that the impeachments about Li Zexuan were coming one after another. He couldn't figure it out. Li Zexuan was just a commoner, so what happened to the big boss in the court? Will there be time to impeach him

He had wanted to help, but he had been obsessed with crafts and architecture all his life and was really not good at intrigues.

To his surprise, Li Zexuan turned the crisis around on his own.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Li Er originally asked casually and then prepared to leave the court. Today's morning court was really long, so he didn't expect Yan Lide to have something else to do.

Li Erqiang cheered up and asked, "What's the matter with Yan Aiqing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I would like to ask for credit for Li Zexuan!"

"Oh?" Li Er perked up. Today's morning meeting was so interesting. Li Zexuan, as a commoner, almost became the protagonist of this morning meeting.

"Yan Aiqing, what is Li Zexuan's contribution?" Li Er asked with interest.

The other ministers also looked at the young man with curiosity.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Zexuan invented a kind of part some time ago called a roller bearing. This thing can be installed in the rotating connection parts of all machines and can greatly reduce resistance. At present, the general has been developed and used in On the carriage.

Compared with carriages equipped with traditional bearings, this new carriage is more flexible and has less forward resistance. After testing by the craftsmen who will serve as supervisors, the new carriage can carry more than 80% of the additional cargo with the same animal power, which is extremely beneficial for transporting grain and grass when the two armies are fighting. "

"Oh, is this happening?"

Li Er stood up excitedly. He had been fighting for more than ten years and knew the importance of food transportation efficiency.

"Back to my father, this is indeed true. When I first founded Qiquge Pavilion in partnership with Li Zexuan, he had already proposed the concept of roller bearings, and he also got the approval of Yan Shangshu's son, Yan Shaoning."

Li Chengqian jumped out to support his good friend at this time.

Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian, then looked at Li Zexuan, and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay, Li Zexuan, I didn't expect that you are so talented at such a young age, you deserve to be rewarded!"

Yan Lide continued:

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet! Li Zexuan invented a new type of plow three days ago, called the Quyu plow, and made a batch of them yesterday. This type of plow is not only more labor-saving, but also more flexible in rotation.

After yesterday's trial, it has been proved that the curved shaft plow is at least three times faster than the long straight shaft plow we used before. The veteran believes that the court should vigorously promote the Quyuan plow to solve the problem of insufficient plowing cattle in the Tang Dynasty. "

His Majesty Li Er, who had always been calm and composed, was a little uneasy at this moment. He said in disbelief:

"Yan Aiqing, is there really such a divine plow in this world?"

Yan Lide bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to vouch for my life. This is absolutely true."

Cheng Yaojin also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, can vouch for it. My ugly cow also went to Zhuangzi with Li Zexuan yesterday. He also saw with his own eyes that this curved shaft plow is indeed faster and more labor-saving. It even takes a little more effort." A bigger man can pull it."

"Hiss~"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, the ministers in the court immediately became excited and gasped. Yan Lide had said so much before, but many of them still didn't have an intuitive understanding of Qu Yuanli. At this time, Cheng Yaojin said that people could actually pull a plow to cultivate the land, and they were instantly shocked.

To them, people pulling pears to plow the land is simply a fantasy. Is this curved shaft plow really that magical

Li Er also felt that what Cheng Yaojin said was a bit exaggerated. He looked at Li Zexuan and asked:

"Li Zexuan, is this Quyuanli really so magical?"

When Yan Lide came out and said he wanted to ask for merit for himself, Li Zexuan was a little confused. Today when he came to the Tai Chi Palace, it was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, so exciting.

It took Li Zexuan a long time to react. Then he heard Li Er's question and quickly replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Hundreds of villagers in Hanjiazhuang witnessed the speed of plowing with Quyuan plows yesterday. I dare not hide anything. Moreover, Qiquge Workshop has begun to produce Quyuan plows at full capacity. It can use Quyuan plows. There will be more and more farmers plowing, and by then more people will know the superiority of the Quyuan plow."

"good!"

Li Er couldn't help but say hello. These days, he has been worried about the spring plowing issues in Zhuangzi, the counties around Chang'an. He originally planned to transfer cattle from the north, but he was robbed by bandits on the way.

When he received the news before, Li Er's nose was so angry that he was crooked, but he couldn't spare any time to deal with the bandits at the moment, because the spring plowing period was almost over, and he had to seize the time to mobilize cattle from other places. Li Er has been really frustrated these days.

Now that Li Zexuan has invented a more efficient curved shaft plow, all these problems have been solved. Moreover, this thing can be regarded as an artifact that benefits the country and the people. It is really important. Li Er, who had been feeling aggrieved for several days, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can this Quyu plow be manufactured on a large scale?"

Li Er was not overly excited yet. He knew that time was running out and farmers were eager to start spring plowing.

Li Zexuan replied:

"Your Majesty, the structure of the Quyuan plow is not complicated. The boy's workshop can make one or two hundred of them in a day. But now the farmers are in a hurry for spring plowing, and the people's personal abilities are limited, and they cannot satisfy all the farmers' needs in a short time. I need it. The boy is willing to dedicate the drawings of the Quyuan Plow to the imperial court, and the imperial court will do its best to manufacture it, so that all farmers will not miss the spring plowing as soon as possible. "

Firstly, the Quyuan plow would not make much money, and secondly, Li Zexuan did not have the ability to produce a large number of Quyuan plows at once, which would delay the spring plowing of many farmers. From this point of view, it was better to hand it over to the court.

Li Er laughed and said: "You have a good understanding of righteousness. Yes, yes. Yan Aiqing, this matter will be left to your Ministry of Industry. During this time, you have all the craftsmen working overtime to make a batch of Quyuan plows."

Yan Lide quickly raised his hands and said, "Here, Your Majesty, I will definitely supervise you personally."

"Well, this is the best, but I have to work hard to love you!" Li Er nodded and said with a smile.

Now, the number of female protagonists with the most votes is still one or two, so let’s leave it at that.
