Chapter 698: Smuggling

Lao Zhangtou hurriedly waved his hand: "How can this be, you and the little young master and young lady are both precious people, how can you help the old man do this inferior work!" ”

Leng Feng smiled helplessly.

He is the owner of the manor in the world, and to put it simply, he is a landlord, but he has never oppressed these commoners.

"What is called inferior work, the officials use the pen to earn money, and the common people use the sickle to earn money, it is all hands-on work, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Ignoring Lao Zhangtou's obstruction, Leng Feng went out of Zhuangzi with him and went to the small river to cut the grass.

Leng Feng mowed the grass, Leng Jing and Lao Zhangtou cleaned up the grass together, and then tied it up. And Leng Yuewu is holding a handkerchief and waiting to wipe his father's sweat.

It wasn't until the sun was rising that Leng Feng cut the grass.

There were many of them, and they cut all the young grass, full of two large sheaves and one small sheaf, just enough for three men to carry on their backs. Leng Yuewu, who had been empty-handed, did not continue to be lazy, but picked up a small bundle, not caring that the dew and mud would stain the clothes.

That's good, Leng Feng has never wanted to raise his children into a noble son, only those who are willing to bend over and work can really starve to death in any environment.

The gate of the manor was full of people who had gone out to work and came home for breakfast, and when they saw Leng Feng and Lao Zhangtou, they all came up to say hello. At the same time, I was also surprised that the owner of the farm actually worked.

In their eyes before, although the owner of the village was a kind person, he should also be an official master who did not touch the spring water with his fingers. The way it looks today has subverted their imagination.

has been carrying the grass back to Lao Zhangtou's house, and the father and son are still in Lao Zhangtou's hold and stay to eat.

For example, the farmers in the manor today live in brick houses, which are not simple, and as for the food, it is also millet porridge, which is still thick.

Because Leng Feng was there, Lao Zhangtou also asked his granddaughter-in-law to fry a plate of eggs, such a dish that their family can only eat during the New Year's holidays. The usual eggs and the like were all sent to Chang'an City for sale.

"In today's days, I didn't dare to think that eating three meals a day is simply a sin. The old man is now one in his eighties, and there are only a handful of days when he can eat thick millet porridge, let alone eggs. ”

Lao Zhangtou took out a pot of wine and poured a glass for Leng Feng.

After Leng Feng refused, he drank it by himself.

"Actually, it's nothing, the output in the field is high, the taxes collected by the imperial court are less, and your hands are not idle, in addition to farming, you also breed and work, it's strange that life is not good."

The old man opened his toothless mouth and laughed.

A seven or eight-year-old child came over, holding his rice bowl and coquettish with Lao Zhangtou, who had no choice but to clip some eggs for him.

After sending away the little grandson, Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but say: "It stands to reason that a miserable person like the old man should not have such a mind." However, Lord Zhuang, can my child really be admitted to the Academy of Literature, or even become an official? ”

Leng Feng nodded: "Why can't you?" The imperial examination system of the imperial court has expanded, and more and more children from poor families will have the opportunity to become officials in the future. Moreover, as long as your grandson studies hard, he will get the top spot in the graduation exam of the Bungaku. Hehe, not to mention the imperial examination, at that time, there were important members of the imperial court who came to the Academy of Literature to ask for someone.

When the time comes, it will not be a question of whether you are an official or not, but what kind of official you want to be. ”

The old man opened his head and mouthed: "Really? ”

Leng Feng said seriously: "Of course it's true! ”

Last year, during the big examination of the Academy of Liberal Arts, there was a genius child who graduated at the age of 14 - Zhang Cambodia, and all the subjects were slammed. With such an achievement, even the emperor was shocked and personally issued an edict to praise him.

Later, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others went to the Academy of Literature to see him in person, wanting to accept him to serve under him. As a result, this guy actually went to Qingyuan County as a county magistrate without saying a word.

A genius can't be so stupid as a big official not to be a county magistrate. In this incident, Leng Feng smelled a strong smell of dragons.

It can only be Li Shimin who can make him willingly become a county magistrate.

You don't have to think about it, and you will have a headache if you think about it.

After breakfast, Leng Feng went home to prepare for leaving.

Leng Jing categorically couldn't stay as a proton, so when he left Chang'an, there was only one way left - smuggling.

Chang'an City seems to be very ordinary, but in fact, whether it is a downtown or the most gloomy civilian area, there is Li Shimin's eyeliner.

This emperor is like a crypt spider covering Chang'an City with intricate webs, and it is simply delusional to want to leave quietly in his webs.

The first to leave was the Dragontooth Army.

The Dragon Tooth Army is going to leave Chang'an, although it will be reported to the emperor, but it can also slightly divert the attention of those spies.

Soon, the Dragon Tooth Army left the martial arts academy in a majestic manner, deliberately passed through the Chang'an city wall, and left in the sight of many people.

After the Dragon Tooth Army left, Li Tai and Li Ke also rushed to Lengfu with their own people.

Li Tai got straight to the point and asked, "Master, you said we were going to steal away?" How to go! ”

Leng Feng withdrew his gaze from the map and said, "Naturally, there is a way, you can honestly follow it." After we left Chang'an, the first stop was Dengzhou. Do you have confidence in building an ironclad? ”

Li Tai shook his head: "I don't have confidence, but how can things in this world be so sure." Especially in the research, in the case of the steam engine, I thought it was successful several times, but it turned out that it was either a problem here or there, and it was annoying. ”

Leng Feng smiled, in fact, scientific research is like this. Well, at least there is a clear goal for research, and you know that you can succeed in the end. And scientific exploration, it is purely to ride a mule to find a horse, and sometimes you can find a horse; Sometimes only donkeys can be found; At its most miserable, it is likely to reach a dead end.

Ironclad ships shouldn't be that difficult, at least offshore cruises, wars and whatnot. In ancient China, no matter which dynasty, did not attach much importance to the sovereignty of the sea, which led to the emergence of the Japanese Invaders. If the sea area has been controlled since the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that after thousands of years, no one will dare to shout about the topic of who is the island.

After Lao Li led people to move everything out, Leng Feng asked Li Tai and Li Ke's men to load all the things into the carriage and go straight to Fengshui.

Chang'an is eight years old, and eight years old go around Chang'an.

But at this time, no one cared about these rivers and used them as a drinking water source. At most, it is some green 0 floors to get a painting boat, and they are ingenious to attract guests.

However, Fan Shui saw this business opportunity. As long as the river is cleaned up, it is the most natural transportation channel.

Fan Shen, who grasped this point, has made a lot of money by virtue of river transportation since he started his business, and his rich net worth is enviable.
