Looking at a few people, Li Zheng asked, "How do you call a few people?" ”

There were three blacksmiths in total, and the leader bowed down and said: "I have seen the Marquis of Jingyang County, who has been a blacksmith in the army and in the streets, and has been making iron for more than 20 years. ”

Another blacksmith also introduced himself: "I have seen the county marquis, in the second iron of the lower iron, and the eldest brother Da Tie has been making iron since he was a child. ”

Seeing that the third blacksmith wanted to introduce himself, Li Zheng said: "Your name is Tiesan, right?" ”

The man smiled embarrassedly, "In Xiatie San'er, the youngest in the family, three generations of our family have made a living from cast iron. ”

The ancients chose names relatively simply, just like Li Daxiong, Li Zheng doubted that he still had relatives called Li Erxiong, and he had never heard his father talk about it, as for why it was a bear, maybe he was more bear.

Since coming to this era, in Li Zheng's cognition, Li Daxiong is just a relatively down-to-earth farmer.

If you want to say that the bear may be a little stunned.

Clearing his throat, Li Zheng said to them, "Do you know how to make small objects?" ”

"Dare to ask the county marquis how small things to make." Tie Da asked.

From his house, Li Zheng took the design of the chain of his tricycle, "Can you make this thing?" I deliberately enlarged a bit in size. ”

The drawings are very unfamiliar, and it is the first time they have seen such drawings, and the three brothers of the Tie family glanced at Li Zheng strangely.

For so many years, I have been listening to other people's descriptions to strike iron, if others don't take a look, I will build it according to the appearance.

Even if it's a drawing, a lot of it is just a painting.

It's the first time I've seen such a drawing.

And the drawing is very detailed, and the three brothers who have been casting iron for many years can understand at a glance what is drawn on the drawing.

It's like a chain connected by sections, a simple and easy-to-understand drawing, but it draws a lot of important things.

If there were such drawings, wouldn't it be clear what to cast in the future.

Seeing that the three brothers didn't speak, Yan Liben asked, "How is it?" Can it be minted? ”

Tie Da stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the county marquis, is there any such drawing?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zheng nodded, "All the drawings we use in Jingyang now are these drawings, and many of them are basically drawn like this. ”

The eldest brother of the three brothers of the Tie family, Da Tie immediately saluted and said: "It is rumored that the county marquis has exquisite skills and knows all kinds of crafts, and we are willing to worship the county marquis as a teacher." ”

The other two Tie family brothers also saluted.

Li Zheng was a little surprised, it seems that the ancients were also thirsty for knowledge.

After thinking for a while, Li Zheng said to them: "I can accept you as disciples, but you are all older than me, I still have to call you brother, you can learn how to draw drawings in the village on weekdays, but how about you help me cast things?" ”

"Thank you, county." The three brothers of the Tie family immediately knelt down.

Yan Liben explained: "These three brothers are honest and diligent, and they also served in the army the year before last, so it is not bad to accept them as disciples. ”

Tie Da said: "But we have a reluctant request, and we also ask the county marquis to agree." ”

Li Zheng hurriedly helped the three kneeling people up and said, "Let's talk about it, what kind of reluctant request." ”

The three brothers glanced at each other, and Tie Daxian said: "My three brothers have a family and children to take care of, I'm afraid I can't live in Jingyang for a long time, the wives of the second brother and the third brother are already pregnant for six months, and as the eldest brother, I don't dare to delay." ”

"Although it is meant to offend the county marquis, I still have to say it below."

"It is also appropriate to take care of the wife's house." Li Zheng nodded and said, "In this way, you can bring your family members to Jingyang to live together for a long time, we still have a lot of empty houses here." ”

"Really?" Tie Da was in a trance.

"As long as your craftsmanship can make my parts, I will pay you."

The three brothers immediately saluted in unison, "We will live up to the expectations of the county marquis, and we will definitely be able to cast it." ”

"I know this thing is not easy to make, you don't need to be too much, you just do your best." Li Zheng was talking.

Yan Liben also persuaded: "Okay, okay, the old man also knows that it is not easy for you, those who drag the family are all for a bite to eat, work hard, the county marquis is generous, as long as you have good skills, you will definitely not be treated badly." ”

Be generous? Li Zheng thought to himself when he was a nouveau riche in their eyes.

Yan Liben comforted the three brothers and took them back to Chang'an first.

Li Tai asked curiously: "There are quite a few blacksmiths with good skills in the army, why don't you let them be cast in the army?" ”

Sitting down again, Li Zheng drank tea and said: "Craftsmanship is very important, besides, I don't want to have too much contact with the army, I'm afraid that your father will think that I have the suspicion of soliciting the hearts of the army, and he will chop me up if he is not happy, who will I talk to." ”

Li Tai said casually: "Don't worry, if you die, I will definitely burn paper money for you." ”

Li Zheng nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei can also rest assured, I will bite my last breath, climb to Chang'an and then die at the door of your house." ”

Li Taiyi waved his sleeves and said, "Damn! ”

"Damn?" Li Zheng rested on the bench with one foot and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei owes money and does not pay it back, and your father also owes money and does not pay it back, I am also the general of the Longwu Army, or the Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province, you say how many days I have not received the Yulu, since I received the will of your father, I have not taken a day of Yulu, and I have not been allowed to resign, which is really too deceitful." ”

"But His Royal Highness King Wei, don't worry." Li Zheng looked serious, "I keep these accounts in a small notebook, and one day I want you to pay it back?" ”

Li Tai smiled bitterly again and again, saying that Li Zheng never went to the court to level the affairs of the Zhang, even if it was forgotten, from the captain of the flying cavalry battalion of the Longwu Army to the Zhonglang general, it seems that Li Zheng had never given Li Zheng.

In this way, the father really never gave Li Zhengyulu.

Saying this, Li Zheng also knew that it was difficult to ask Li Shimin for money.

It is also necessary to consider whether Li Shimin will chop himself up for his reputation.

I thought about it, and I thought about what it was to pour red paint on Chengtianmen and let the royal family pay back the money.

It still seems a little too risky.

Datang's soy sauce is fermented with raw meat, and of course, that soy sauce tastes bad and is easy to spoil.

Li Zheng opened the lid of a water tank next to his house, which was full of soy sauce.

This soy sauce is fermented with soybeans and bran, although the taste is better than that of later generations, but it is also the only one in Datang.

Braised pork made with soy sauce can become a delicacy in Jingyangfang City.

In this era, pork itself is not valuable, but food is valuable.

You can sell the original pork price several times.

Development requires money, and the economy cannot do without development.

To get rid of poverty and become rich and live a good life, it is still far from my plan to retire before the age of 30.

The Cheng family also bought a lot of pigs, and Cheng Yanjin looked at these sows with a stronger smile, as if the Cheng family was not far from making a fortune.
