CHAPTER XXXVI

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Xiaoshi was still thinking about how to register the displaced people who came to sign up in the room, because there were too many people, and it was difficult to be busy for a while, so she had to plan in advance to avoid being in a hurry.

Han Siniang knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the two princes came to visit, did you see it or not?" ”

In fact, Tang Xiaoshi had already told Han Siniang that she would not see guests today, and she needed to plan how to resettle the displaced people.

But considering the identities of Ge Liuyuan and Wang Jing, as well as the things they brought, Han Siniang still came over and asked Tang Xiaoshi what she meant.

"I'm not seeing you today, so let's quit." Tang Xiaoshi said, even though the two of them are the princes of the country, Tang Xiaoshi can see that they have seen their "old treacherous and slippery", and they are coming to visit her on the surface, but eighty percent of them are coming, Tang Xiaoshi is so busy now that she can't wait to have a few more hands, how can she have time to pay attention to them?

Han Shi Niang didn't leave outside the door, she said again: "Sir, the two princes said that they brought you many drawings from the agricultural supervisor, all of which are the best farming tools, which are said to be confidential and cannot be seen by the people. The old slave thought that this might be helpful for the development of the wasteland, so he dared to bother Mr. If Mr. really didn't see it, the old slave would quit. ”

The best farming tools in the Chu Dynasty? It's still classified. Tang Xiaoshi suddenly wanted to know what kind of top-notch farming tools people in this era could make.

And the two old fathers came to send pictures at an age, which is also a good intention.

"Wait, don't say goodbye." Curiosity drove Tang Xiaoshi to decide to meet them, "Let the two adults wait in the lobby for a while, make the best Pu'er tea in my academy, and I'll come right away." ”

At the end, Tang Xiaoshi added: "Remember to wrap them with some good tea leaves for them to take back, and when they are addicted to drinking and come to the door to ask for it, we can make a fortune with tea." ”

Although it is a very vulgar thing to involve money in such an elegant thing as drinking tea, it doesn't matter, Tang Xiaoshi doesn't mind that he is a layman.

……

……

With Chuncha by their side, although Ge Liuyuan and Wang Jing waited for a while, they still felt very comfortable.

Relaxed and comfortable, this is the feeling that the academy gives people, no wonder that Han Ke guy is willing to teach here rather than continue to stay as a bachelor of Guozijian.

The smell of power struggle in Guozijian is still too strong, unlike here, a group of powerless children who learn for knowledge.

"If we grow old one day, this is indeed a good place to retire." Ge Liuyuan smiled at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing bowed his head and agreed very much.

"The two princes want to retire here, but Xiao Shi can't afford it, after all, he is a Chinese prince, but if he wants to teach here, Xiao Shi can still afford the salary of the two teaching gentlemen."

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

Tang Xiaoshi expressed it in a very euphemistic way: The academy only accepts gentlemen, not officials. It's the same as when she left Hanke.

She doesn't want her students to attach too much importance to the word "official", her students should pay more attention to knowledge, so the teacher who teaches cannot teach as an official.

"Good! When the old man is old, he will have a breeze on his sleeves and a cloth coat to teach you! Ge Liuyuan said with a smile.

"So do I." Wang Jingdao.

Tang Xiaoshi walked into the lobby, and sure enough, he saw several yellowed drawings on the table, and the drawings were very delicately framed, and it seemed that the people in the agricultural supervisor should value them very much and collect them as treasures.

"Let's put aside the matter of coming to the academy to teach." Tang Xiaoshi said with a smile, "Let's talk about these detailed drawings first, what do the two princes mean?" Where did the good east wind blow your second elder over, and bring such a big gift? ”

Tang Xiaoshi looked at the two princes meaningfully, and secretly thought that they must have asked for themselves, and by the way, they sent her some drawings.

It won't be to send yourself drawings and ask for something by the way.

It is very important to deal with these two "fox" princes and figure out the relationship between primary and secondary, otherwise you won't know when you will be sold.

"Naturally, we're here to help you, and we've seen the announcements you posted outside." Ge Liuyuan said, and took out the folded announcement in his arms and unfolded it on the table, "Princess Jing, Lord Wang and I both know that you are a capable woman, but even if you have the ability, this announcement can't be written like this, are you going against the sky?" ”

At the beginning, grabbing food under the banner of the dragon god was enough against the sky, and now even the spring god has been pulled out.

Ge Liuyuan said again: "Princess Jing, are you going to go to the dark on the path of the goddess stick?" ”

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at the announcement on the table, that's right, it was she who asked Chu Ming to arrange the content to be posted, word for word, in black and white, written clearly and clearly.

Tang Xiaoshi poured herself a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Yes, this is what I posted, I'm just seeking truth from facts, and adding a little mythology, what's the problem?" Don't the two princes want me to recruit these homeless people? ”

"What's the problem? Big problem! Ge Liuyuan said a little angrily, "If you just recruit homeless people as tenants, there is absolutely no problem at all, but why do you want to add a paragraph at the end, what spring god sentence Mang descended into the world, what ten people plough a hundred acres a day, what leads the water of the West River to a high place, and even more outrageous, build a house with yellow mud!"

Princess Jing was born in a rich family and may not understand the life of poor farmers, and has no concept of 100 acres a day, ten people, even if they are the strongest men, the sharpest axe, hoeing the ground day and night, it is impossible to increase 100 acres a day, you boasted so much about Haikou in the announcement, how can you be round at that time?

And how is it possible to divert the water of the West River upwards? Since ancient times, rain has fallen from the sky, and water has flowed low, which is the law of all things in nature, who can change it? Don't say that you have a dragon king to help you, such God's lies can deceive ordinary people, but they can't deceive me, no matter what kind of gods and people do strange things, in my opinion, they are all done by people, not by God.

As for the yellow mud house, it is even more ridiculous! Birds and finches build nests, insects and snakes settle in the cracks, only the ancestors of people, with stone as the base, wood as the beam, with the tile as the top, to create a zào out of the house, will have today's prosperity. Tell me, the yellow mud is blown away by the wind, melted when it meets the water, and cracked when exposed to the sun, which is not as strong as the stone, nor as tough as the wood, who dares to live in the house made of yellow mud?

Princess Jing, I know the mood of the displaced people if you want to settle the displaced people as soon as possible, but this matter is not urgent, and it is definitely not a whimsical solution.

Did you know that this notice you posted has caused a sensation in the city, and the homeless people are naturally happy, but the others, they are waiting to see your joke? ”

"Look at my jokes? Look at my jokes? Tang Xiaoshi said disdainfully.

"Naturally, it's a joke to see your failure, almost no one in the court believes that you can do ten people ploughing a hundred acres a day, and even some ministers have played the emperor, saying that Princess Jing is the princess of the royal family, and she is not self-conscious, she speaks wildly, and the gossip confuses the public, if it weren't for Prince Jing to take it down for you, do you think you can continue to mess around now? Even the streets and alleys began to spread nursery rhymes:

The east wind blows, the spring thunder is blown up, the hundred acres of land, one day of ploughing, King Jing's mind is too simple!

The east wind blows, the swallow returns, the yellow mud, and the new house is built, how can people be the same as swallows! Ge Liuyuan said with a flushed face.

Hearing such a mocking ballad, Ge Liuyuan felt quite hot on his face, but Tang Xiaoshi was indifferent, drank tea calmly, and said: "The ballad is well written, but it doesn't rhyme enough." ”

was so angry that Ge Liuyuan almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

At this time, Wang Jing also stood up and persuaded him: "This is not child's play, Princess Jing must not pay attention to this matter, do you know that this morning the emperor read the report of Yanchen, although he was not angry, but questioned Prince Jing step by step, in order to protect you, he has made a promise, if you can't do it as the notice said, you will give up half of the original fief, Princess Jing thinks that the consequences are not heavy enough?" ”

At this time, Tang Xiaoshi's face was a little surprised, surprised that Chu Ming was so confident in her that he dared to make such a promise, but Tang Xiaoshi quickly regained her composure and said, "So, the two princes don't believe that I can do it?" ”

Ge Liuyuan and Wang Jing were silent.

This shows their attitude.

Tang Xiaoshi understood, and asked again: "What does the announcement have to do with these farm tool drawings sent by the two princes?" ”

Ge Liuyuan explained: "Since the matter has come to this, I have discussed with Lord Wang for a long time, and I feel that if you change the notice and post the notice, delete the two items of water to the high stream and the yellow mud to build houses, and halve the daily cultivation of 100 acres by ten people, there may be room for maneuver, after all, it is already very remarkable for ten people to cultivate 50 acres per day, and the emperor will be happy to forgive Prince Jing." So I started ...... with Lord Wang."

"So you and Lord Wang kindly borrowed these drawings from the agricultural supervisor for me, hoping that I would learn more from these agricultural tools made by the clever people of the Chu Dynasty, and make transformations accordingly, specializing in farming, so as to break the limit of fifty acres?" Tang Xiaoshi interrupted Ge Liuyuan's words and finished the words for him.

Ge Liuyuan thought that Tang Xiaoshi had enlightened and said, "That's exactly what it means." ”

"Thank you!" Tang Xiaoshi said gratefully, after all, the two old princes were really planning for her, but at the end, Tang Xiaoshi still added, "But I don't need it!" ”

Compared to the tools she had adapted from modern farming machinery, she really didn't need these drawings.

Tang Xiaoshi opened the yellowed but delicately framed drawings, glanced at them hastily, and began to point and say: "This already has the prototype of an ox plow, but if the plow is made into a square, how can it be □□ in the soil?" There is also this rice mill, after the shell is removed, it still has to be picked out, the rice shell is lighter, and it will be gone when the wind blows? Why bother......"

Tang Xiaoshi talked a lot of things, and Ge Liuyuan was stunned.

At the end, Tang Xiaoshi concluded: "Trash! ”

"What kind of garbage is the princess referring to?"

"I mean all."
