Chapter Eighty-Four: The Legend of the Divine Plough (I)

In the afternoon, Yan Mansion.

Yan Shaoning paced in the front hall, anxiously waiting for something.

"Young master, young master, the master has returned home."

A young man in Tsing Yi ran in quickly and shouted.

"Great, my dad is finally back!"

Yan Shaoning walked out quickly, and when he came to the front yard, he saw that Yan Lide had just entered the house.

"Dad, you're finally back!"

After he returned to Chang'an with Fu Bo this morning, he originally wanted to tell his father about Quyuan Li immediately, but the old housekeeper said that his father went to the early court and had not come back yet.

Yan Shaoning could only wait anxiously, Quyuan Plough belonged to the Strange Pavilion, and the Strange Pavilion had his own dry shares, so thinking about it, Quyuan Plough still had a certain relationship with him Yan Shaoning.

He knew that the court was thinking of a way for the people's spring ploughing in the past few days, although Yan Shaoning had some whimsical ideas before, but what he did was just a joke, and now Qu Yuan was born, and he could also help his father make meritorious contributions, thinking of this, Yan Shaoning couldn't help but get excited.

"Ning'er, are you looking for your father?"

"Yes, Dad, there is something very important, you come to the study with the child."

..........

Inside the study.

"Ning'er, you say, what are you looking for as a father? Look at you in a hurry. ”

After Yan Lide sat down, he asked with some curiosity. Although his son, although he does not fight cocks and walk dogs like other gentlemen, and linger in the Qinglou, he is also not doing his job, studying some strange things all day long, and he really doesn't know what his son is so anxious to do with him today.

"Dad, has the court been thinking of a way for spring plowing near Chang'an recently?"

Yan Lide sighed: "Yes, a few days ago, His Majesty originally planned to bring in a batch of cultivating cattle from near Bingzhou and send them to Chang'an to solve the urgent need. But today, there was an urgent report, and there was a group of bandits in Bingzhou who robbed the cattle prepared by the imperial court.

His Majesty was furious, but the top priority was not to exterminate the bandits, but to find a way to solve the problem of spring plowing for some farmers. His Majesty left Fang Xiang, Wei Shangshu and his father and other important ministers to discuss this matter after the early dynasty, so his father only came back at this hour. Ning'er, when did you become interested in the affairs of the court? ”

Yan Shaoning said with a smile: "Dad, the child already has a way to solve the problem of spring ploughing. ”

"What? Ning'er, the stakes are high, and this is not a joke. ”

Yan Lide's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yan Shaoning saw that his father didn't believe it, so he told Yan Lide about the invention process of the Quyuan plough and the effect of the Quyuan plough that he saw with his own eyes in Hanjiazhuang today.

After hearing this, Yan Lide stood up in shock and muttered to himself:

"There is a god plough descending into the world, God bless my Tang Dynasty! As a father, I still underestimated Li Zexuan. Ning'er, you have done the court a great favor this time, and I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow for my father and ask for credit for you. ”

...........

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, on the small road outside Chang'an City, there were already more than a dozen farmers in linen clothes and coarse cloth, who were rushing to Chang'an City.

"Yo, isn't this a brother-in-law? Why are you so early today? ”

A young man with a long camera saw that the person in front of him was a little familiar, so he hurriedly sped up to catch up, and found that it was his brother-in-law, so he greeted.

"Huh? It turns out that Xiaodong, in the past two days, I heard that the price of eggs in Chang'an City has risen, your sister didn't ask me to get up early today, take the eggs at home and sell them, and add a new dress to my eldest man when I go back. ”

The man was carrying a basket and saw that it was his brother-in-law, so he replied.

The young man with a long camera is Han Xiaodong of Hanjiazhuang, today he was also picked up by his father early in the morning, and asked him to go to the Wonder Pavilion to buy Quyuan plow, a few years ago his sister married to Meicun, this man is called his brother-in-law, named Mei Jun, but he is five big and three thick, not handsome at all.

Usually, the relationship between the two families is quite good, and they move around more frequently.

"Well, I've heard about this too, it is said that the eggs in Chang'an City are sold for five cents a piece, haha, my sister is still as shrewd as before."

"Hey, hey." The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked:

"Xiaodong, why are you so early today?"

"Uh." Han Xiaodong was a little hesitant, the efficiency and flexibility of the Quyuan plough was what he had seen with his own eyes, even if he hadn't read the book, he knew that if everyone knew about the Quyuan plow, the people of their Hanjiazhuang would definitely not be able to buy it.

But his brother-in-law's family is usually very good to him, Han Xiaodong scratched his ears and cheeks, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision, and said in a low voice:

"Brother-in-law, come here, I'll tell you something, you must not tell anyone else, you know?"

Seeing that what his brother-in-law said was mysterious, Mei Jun couldn't help but be curious, patted his chest and promised: "Xiaodong, who in these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know that your brother-in-law and my mouth is the tightest, you can rest assured." ”

Han Xiaodong was quite speechless when he heard his brother-in-law bragging, and then he thought that his brother-in-law had a nickname called Mei Dazui, and there was no one in his mouth, so he couldn't help but regret it, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to make up other excuses, Han Xiaodong could only say:

"Brother-in-law, you must not talk nonsense about this matter I told you this time, otherwise I will ask my sister to punish you for kneeling on the washboard. I'm here to come to Chang'an today to go to the East City Wonder Pavilion to buy a Quyuan plow, let me tell you, this Quyuan plough is awesome, and the speed of ploughing can be increased by at least three times.

Yesterday, my young master personally brought a batch of quyuan ploughs to our Zhuangzi to do experiments, and the speed of ploughing is so fast that we have seen it with our whole village. My young master also said that this Quyuan plough will be sold in the Qiqu Pavilion today, and it will only be sold for 170 Wen, and almost all of us Zhuangzi people will come to buy it today.

Now the other Zhuangzi don't know yet, we can definitely buy it, brother-in-law, if you want to buy it, you can also buy one, but you must not tell anyone else, otherwise our Zhuangzi people know that I said it, you have to beat me to death, you can't harm me. ”

When Mei Jun heard that Qu Yuanli was so awesome, he couldn't help but flow to the ground, and secretly made up his mind that after selling eggs today, he must buy one, and his mother-in-law will definitely praise him for his wit when he goes back.

At this time, hearing that his brother-in-law asked him to keep it secret, he hurriedly raised his hand and swore:

"Xiaodong, don't worry, brother-in-law, I definitely won't say that I will go out and harm you, thank you kid for telling me this, my family's land will finally not miss the spring ploughing, your sister and I don't hurt you in vain on weekdays!"

Han Xiaodong instructed again uneasily: "Well, brother-in-law, you must remember not to say it, otherwise my sister will punish you for kneeling on the washboard." ”

.........

Han Xiaodong thought a little simply, the bankers of Hanjiazhuang, who have no relatives in other villages, even if he doesn't say it, there will be many bankers who secretly notify their relatives. An undercurrent is gradually surging, about to sweep the Wonder Pavilion, the name of the plough, will soon be famous all over the world.
