Chapter 17: The Mysterious Visitor

This is the second time Li Siyuan has come to the Qin Palace, and after the guards at the gate have been heard, he will soon see the King of Qin.

When King Qin heard that this talented man had come to offer treasure again, he naturally attached great importance to it, he first retreated, and then said to Li Siyuan: "Listen to the guards, you have a heavy weapon to dedicate to the court for the benefit of the country and the people, but is it true?" ”

"Back to the prince, the heavy weapon is not counted, but it can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people, the prince might as well ask someone to move things up and take a look!" Li Siyuan answered Li Shimin's question seriously.

After Li Shimin listened, he ordered the guards outside the house, and soon someone lifted the Quyuan plow, Li Shimin saw this thing that was very different from the traditional plow and asked: "Siyuan, this is a plow?" How different from what I've seen! ”

Seeing that King Qin's face was full of doubts, Li Siyuan stepped forward and explained: "What the prince said is right, this is indeed a plow, but it is different from the traditional plow, this is a plough that has been improved by the grass people, and the use of this plough can not only save manpower and animal power, but also make the cultivation refined, thereby increasing the yield of crops!" ”

After saying this, Li Siyuan pointed to the curved plow and explained: "Lord Wang, please see, the biggest improvement of this plow is that the grass people have changed the traditional straight wheel to the curved wheel, and installed a plow plate that can rotate freely at the head of the plow, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn and turn, and the operation is more flexible!" Secondly, the grass people also increased the plough evaluation and plough construction, such as promoting the plough evaluation, the plough arrow can be made downward, and the ploughshare is deep into the soil. If the plough is raised, the plough arrow is upward, and the ploughshare is shallow when it enters the soil. The organic combination of plough evaluation, plough arrow and plough construction can adapt to the different requirements of deep ploughing or shallow tillage, and can standardize the adjustment of cultivated land depth, which is convenient for intensive cultivation. The plough wall not only breaks up the soil, but also pushes the ploughed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plough forward, so that each plough saves a cow! ”

Although he didn't fully understand what Li Siyuan said, but the last sentence of each plough can save a cow, Li Shimin really heard it, he knew what it meant, and what Li Siyuan said was true, so Datang's annual grain would not be doubled, at least it would have to increase by one-third!

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally simply ordered the guards to find a cow, and then took Li Siyuan to a garden in the palace, ready to test whether this plough was really as good as Li Siyuan said!

The garden is very large, and it is very remote, although there are some flowers and plants in it, but it is not very precious, Li Shimin gave an order, and a government soldier came over and began to operate according to Li Siyuan's instructions!

As soon as he got started, the soldiers of the government noticed the beauty of this plow, it is indeed very light and labor-saving, Li Shimin saw the expression of the soldier and basically determined that what Li Siyuan said was true, but he did not say anything, until the soldier finished plowing a small piece of land in front of him, Li Shimin said: "Siyuan, your plough is indeed a good tool for the benefit of the country and the people, but now this king wants to ask you to keep it secret for the time being, and after a while, this king will reward you well, are you willing to agree?" ”

Li Siyuan didn't think that Li Shimin would come to such a show, but after thinking about it for a while, he still agreed, not for anything else, just because he trusted this future heavenly khan, he believed that Li Shimin would not put such a heavy weapon for the benefit of the country and the people, as for keeping it secret for the time being, maybe he had other plans!

When he heard that Li Siyuan was proposing to Li Gang's daughter, Li Shimin did not blame Li Siyuan for falling in love with someone from the prince's mansion, but praised Li Gang, and praised Li Siyuan's vicious eyes, and his ability to pick a daughter-in-law is not worse than his ability to write poetry!

Li Siyuan was a little embarrassed when King Qin said this, but fortunately, King Qin finally instructed Li Siyuan to let him talk to the matchmaker after he went home, and then go to Li's Mansion to let the matchmaker come to King Qin's Mansion to take the housekeeper with him, so as not to be looked down on by the other party, this move made Li Siyuan start to be grateful to Li Shimin in his heart!

After the two talked, Li Siyuan asked Li Shimin for instructions, and was going to visit Sun Simiao, this old Taoist priest, not to mention his identity as a miracle doctor, just because he saved his life, he can't forget others!

Li Siyuan, under the leadership of a guard of the Qin Palace, soon found Sun Simiao, who was concentrating on medicine, Li Siyuan saw that the old Taoist priest did not find out about his arrival, so he found a bench alone to do it, and without much effort, he fell asleep in a daze!

When he woke up again, half an hour had passed, and Sun Simiao was no longer in the pharmacy, but sat opposite him, squinting his eyes and looking at him without stopping for a moment!

Li Siyuan woke up for a long time, and saw that the old Taoist priest had no intention of giving up staring at him, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Doctor Sun, why do you always look at me like this?" Could it be that I have some hidden illness? ”

"Weird, it's weird, instead of having a hidden disease, your kid is in much better health than ordinary people, this is not the performance of a person with soul loss! And just now I used the physiognomy technique of our Daomen to help you look at your face, but I found that I couldn't see through your past and future, as if you were a person who did not exist in this world, but you sat in front of me alive, it was really strange! Sun Simiao looked at Li Siyuan and said suspiciously!

After he finished speaking, he didn't know that Li Siyuan was already in a cold sweat at this time, he knew that there were many strange people in this world, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he had another feeling, just now, this Taoist priest who is known for his medical skills almost revealed his identity as a traverser, which made him really shocked and frightened!

He hurriedly found an excuse and prepared to turn this matter over: "Doctor Sun, although you are a Taoist priest, you are also a doctor, how can you believe in these gods and ghosts!" You practice medicine all day to save people, and you must have seen a lot of dead people, but have you ever seen what this god and ghost look like? Surely not! So, these face-to-face and fortune-tellers are deceitful and not credible! ”

"No, the study of fate is not the same as the theory of ghosts and gods, life refers to the nature of a person who is born with it, but this nature will change with the change of external forces, this is like when you write an article, when you first write it is your nature, and when you write and write, we can know what you have written, and then you can roughly infer what you are going to write through what you have written! Therefore, it is said that the study of physiognomy is based on telling fortunes to people, which is not comparable to ghosts and gods! ”

After listening to Sun Simiao's explanation, Li Siyuan, a young man born under the red flag and growing up in the sun, couldn't help but be shaken by the four words of feudal superstition, he really can't understand now, is it his loneliness in his previous life, or something has been lost in the long river of history!

Just as he was thinking wildly, a person walked in outside the door of the medicine house, this person was dressed in tattered clothes, like a beggar, and said to Sun Simiao with a smile when he entered the door: "Senior brother, after many years, you have always been good!" ”

When Sun Simiao saw someone coming, he stood up excitedly and greeted the person: "Senior brother, it's really you!" Since the last goodbye, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I really miss my junior brother! As he spoke, the old Taoist priest was even crying!

Seeing this, the visitor also said with some embarrassment: "Yes, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I miss you very much for my brother, okay, how old are you, don't be this little daughter, so as not to be laughed at by this descendant!" ”

Li Siyuan looked at these two people, and wondered in his heart, who is this beggar? Why haven't I heard that Sun Simiao has such a senior brother?

Sun Simiao listened to his senior brother's words, and then remembered that there was an outsider here in the courtyard at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, but let this kid see the joke, senior brother, let's talk about it in the house!" After finishing speaking, he led his senior brother into the house, and said to Li Siyuan: "Boy, you go home first, today we are brothers and finally reunited, so we won't entertain you!" ”

I've seen the send-off, but I've never seen Sun Simiao go so directly, Li Siyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly! Although he was very curious about the identity of the person who came at this time, he didn't have the cheekiness to lie here, so he had to say goodbye and leave and go home!
