Chapter 11 Return to the Village

After chatting again, everyone began to leave one after another, and began a busy day. King Qin did not go to the office, but invited literature and art to the garden to chat. King Qin said: "Xiaoyi, I don't know who you studied with?" I learned such a good skill. ”

Wenyi replied: "The boy master is out of the Shennong Gate, according to legend, the ancestor is the descendant of the Shennong clan, the door has been a single lineage for generations, and each master only accepts one apprentice." Stark, the teacher, died last year, and now only the kid is left. ”

King Qin is a little confused, Stark? It's a strange name, I've never heard of it. But he still pretended to be sincere and said: "I have admired the name of the family teacher for a long time, but unfortunately the Si people have passed away, what a pity!" ”

Literature and art are not lightly choked, and I almost want to laugh. How can you know Stark, he is just a comic book character after a thousand years, but you still have to echo King Qin, otherwise Li Shimin will be annoyed and ashamed, and he will not be able to eat and walk away.

Li Shimin asked again: "Xiaoyi, what will you do?" Can you tell this king in detail? ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "Back to Your Highness, I have learned a lot of miscellaneous things, except for the 'six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting', I have basically dabbled in it, and I am best at medicine." ”

Li Shimin was surprised: "Don't you learn the way of Confucius and Mencius? ”

Wen Yi replied: "Well, we travel around, often do not have enough to eat, and we have no conditions and do not want to learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, so our disciples are all passed on by word of mouth, even the written words are different from others. ”

Li Shimin said curiously: "Write it quickly and let this king see it." ”

Literature and art picked up a branch and wrote the three words "Shennongmen" on the ground, and Li Shimin was surprised to see that the traditional Chinese characters used were different.

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they came to the small pavilion in the lake, and the two sat down, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Xiaoyi, although you are young, this king knows that you have great talents, but unfortunately you are unwilling to enter the court, but there is one thing I want to hear your opinion." Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my eldest brother, and he has a deep friendship with my third brother Li Yuanji, but he regards me as a thorn in the flesh, for fear that this king will take away his position in the East Palace. I don't know what Xiaoyi thinks? ”

Wenyi sighed and thought: I have been so low-key, and I still let him see the flaws. He pondered for a long time before he spoke, "Your Highness, please forgive me for offending. Li Shimin waved his hand for him to continue, and Wenyi continued: "You and the crown prince and the king of Qi are brothers of flesh and blood, and now they are all because of the throne, to be honest, the throne is stripped of the appearance to see the essence, it is just the name of a profession, but the nature of this profession is very special, it has the power to rule over all the people, and to take life and death, but Your Highness, do you see that the emperors of all dynasties have really achieved life and death?" Most of the wise monarchs became ill from overwork and finally died of illness. So the throne is not a good thing, and now it has provoked the prince to hate you, in fact, he is not confident, he is already the prince, you are the king of Qin, and most of the ministers in the court also support the prince, I don't know why His Royal Highness the prince hates you? ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin sighed with emotion: "You are right, but the current situation makes this king very afraid, now that my father is still here, I can be safe, in case the prince ascends to the throne, he will definitely kill me!" ”

Wen Yi said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness, to be honest, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no room for people, and if he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be unqualified." His Royal Highness's generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, if His Highness wants to fight, it is still possible, but the kid has a sentence to say to His Highness. ”

Li Shimin was struck by the words of literature and art, staring at literature and art with burning eyes and said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wenyi said: "Please remember Your Highness that you fought for the throne because you were afraid of being killed, not for the sake of the throne." When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Qi become your prisoners in the future, please spare their families! After speaking, Wenyi stood up and made a big salute to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin hurriedly picked up the literature and art and said: "Xiaoyi's words are every word, and this king will remember it in his heart." Xiaoyi, stay and help me! ”

Wenyi smiled and said, "I don't know why Your Highness Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei instead of Cao Cao?" ”

Li Shimin said strangely: "Why did Xiaoyi talk about Zhuge Liang? ”

Wen Yi replied: "Your Highness, Zhuge Liang chose him because Liu Bei's subordinates had no available talents, and as soon as he joined, he became Liu Bei's military advisor, and if he went to Cao Cao, he could only be a small official who wrote documents." His Royal Highness has a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of boys, but there is no one in the more than a dozen villages around Crooked Willow Village, who is equivalent to Liu Bei, who is a kid, and I am needed even more. ”

Li Shimin was very emotional, so he nodded and said: "Xiaoyi, you are a good boy, or Chang'an, Chang'an is too filthy, you can go back." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wenyi got up to say goodbye. Li Shimin gave him a cart of gifts as payment for the portrait.

Wenyi happily returned to the inn, packed up and went to say hello to the boss who was going to deliver the goods to the door. The next day, he drove his ox cart back to Crooked Willow Village. This trip to Chang'an gained a lot, not only bought a lot of rare materials, but also befriended Li Shimin. What he values most is the 100 catties of cotton seeds. He has already planned to teach Uncle Bolt to grow cotton, and he doesn't need to deliberately popularize it, as long as the people see the advantages of cotton, they will definitely flock to it. All that is missing now is the technology to play cotton and spin wheels. Literature and art are not going to build spinning wheels directly, this is too high-profile, and he is ready to teach only the oldest cotton playing technique to Uncle Bolt. Let the people of the Tang Dynasty study the rest. Anyway, now he can afford to wear silk and don't have to bother with cotton.

When I came, I walked for five days, and when I went back, I walked very fast because I followed four guys, and I returned to Crooked Willow Village in three days. Literature and art and the guys' goods are clear. So he and Shi carried the things they bought into the storehouse, leaving only the hundred catties of cotton seeds outside. Wenyi said to the stone: "Stone, is Uncle Bolt at home?" I bought this 100 catties of seeds for him. ”

Shi shook his head and said, "I'm working in the field, I'm not at home." ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "That's okay, you go and call Uncle Bolt to come to my house, and I'll prepare some more things." ”

The stone answered and went to find Uncle Bolt. Cotton planted directly into the ground will die quickly, you need to breed first, breeding is to plant the seeds in the culture soil, the most convenient way is to make the culture soil into a small cylindrical shape like beating honeycomb coal, and then the cotton seeds are planted in the seedlings, and then the seedlings grow up and then buried in the ground together with the culture soil. In this way, the survival rate of cotton can be guaranteed. Literature and art began to make simple beaters out of wood. After waiting for Uncle Bolt to come over, Wenyi put down his work and said to Uncle Bolt: "Uncle, I found the seeds of Bai Diezi in Chang'an, and I want to use your land to plant some, and it is best to use them to keep warm in winter." ”

The bolt hurriedly asked: "Bai Diezi I have heard of it, it is something that only exists in the Western Regions, and it is very precious. Can we plant this life? ”

Wenyi replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Plug, you have to be careful when the white stack is budding, and it will be no problem when you grow up a little." I'll teach you how to grow white stacks. Uncle Bolt didn't ask much, he trusted literature and art very much, as long as literature and art said it could work, then it would definitely work. The two of them were busy for three days before they won all the 100 catties of cotton seeds. They also discussed with Fang Sanye to reclaim ten acres of wasteland behind the village to grow cotton. It took half a month to plant all the cotton in the ground, and he was so tired that he hummed in bed for three days, but fortunately there were stones to cook for him, otherwise he would definitely starve to death in bed.

After the literature and art were resurrected, they entered the studio, and no one was allowed to enter this room, including the stones, and there were too many secret arts in it that they didn't want others to know. This time, he is going to make a set of lead-acid batteries, a relatively old storage battery, which was widely used in cars as starting batteries at the beginning of the 21st century. Now that the materials have been gathered, it's very easy to do. He used hardwood as plastic for the shell and partition, and then used cow glue for the seal. Then the sulfuric acid solution was refined, the lead plate was made, and a super-large lead-acid battery with a length of 60 cm, a width of 30 cm, and a height of 25 cm was assembled.

In accordance with the appearance of a two-wheeled electric vehicle for pulling goods at the beginning of the 21st century, Wenyi made a "Datang version of an electric bicycle", with iron spokes at the front and a motor at the rear, without rubber, and can only be equipped with spring shock absorbers at the front and rear, and the battery is placed in the back seat, which can also be used as a shelf. The seats are made of wood, and they are thickly covered with the skins of unknown animals, which is quite comfortable. It took two days and two nights to charge the wind turbine at home. The frame is assembled from hardwood, the key parts are wrapped in iron sheets, and then painted with raw paint, and a dark red bulky electric car is freshly baked.

Shi Shi was amazed when he saw Wenyi riding a very strange thing all over the yard, and hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Brother Xiaoyi, what is this?" So weird? ”

Wen Yile said hehehe: "Stone, this is the secret of my master, this is called an electric car, as long as he controls the direction, he will move." Would you like to try it? ”

The stone nodded happily. Literature and art made him sit in the seat, and he sat in the back seat, explaining the brakes, accelerators, and steering to the stone one by one. Although the stone is sincere, but extremely intelligent, after two attempts to master the essentials, literature and art let the stone after the addiction called the stone into the house, said to the stone: "Stone, do you like electric cars?" ”

Shi nodded violently and said, "I like it!" ”

Wenyi sat on the chair and thought for a long time before slowly saying, "In addition to medical skills, I also know some other skills, I don't know if you are willing to learn?" ”

The stone also heard the smell and said solemnly: "I am willing!" ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll go to Uncle Bolt tonight to discuss." You push the electric car to my bedroom first, this thing is inconvenient for outsiders to see. ”......

After dinner, Wenyi went to Uncle Bolt's house. Seeing that Uncle Bolt was squatting at the door chatting, he stepped forward to say hello: "Uncle Bolt, the kid has something to look for you, let's go into the house." ”

Uncle Bolt answered and walked into the house with Wenyi. The two sat on the kang, Wenyi put away his smile and said: "Uncle, I am the same age as Shishi, but Shishi is very smart and studious, and he is a steady person, I want to teach Shishi some other knowledge." It's just..."

Uncle Bolt didn't realize it, so he asked, "Just what?" ”

Wenyi had no choice but to confess: "It's just that this door stipulates that skills cannot be passed on, and I want to accept stones as apprentices, but he is the same age as me, so I came to ask my uncle what he meant." ”

Uncle Bolt was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It's out of the way." Don't get in the way, it's a great blessing for him to be able to collect stones, age is not a problem! ”

Wenyi saw that Uncle Bolt agreed, and he was also relieved, so he said to Uncle Bolt: "Uncle, then let the stone be worn cleanly tomorrow, I will put an incense case at home, and officially accept the stone as an apprentice tomorrow." Uncle Bolt also agreed.

The next day, Wenyi stood in the courtyard dressed in a scribe's robe, and a long table was placed beside him, on which only an incense burner was placed, and nothing else.
