Chapter 64: Opening a Workshop
Li Jihe searched all the villages and towns in Sanyuan County for three whole days, and almost every farmhouse was visited. But the result is still nothing. The miracle doctor is still elusive. Li Jihe was even more anxious.
In fact, during this period, Li Jihe also went to Gutian Village, and also heard the villagers mention Liuyi, after all, Liuyi can cure the intestinal disease of cattle, and it is also well-known in several nearby villages. It's just that Li Jihe directly passed him after knowing that Liu Yiyi was just a veterinarian. In his mind, how could a veterinarian have that kind of magical ability?
Therefore, the only opportunity to find the miracle doctor in his mouth was missed.
However, fortunately, Empress Changsun's condition has been initially stabilized under the careful care of several imperial doctors, and the prince's side is not so eager.
Li Zhide sat in the hall of the county government with Li Jihe, and when he saw Li Jihe's distressed face, Li Zhide comforted on the side: "Lord Li doesn't have to be so bothered, although that miracle doctor appeared in Sanyuan County, who can guarantee that he is a resident of Sanyuan County?" Maybe he is from a foreign country, and Langzhong is unknown? Can adults look a little farther away? ”
"Master Li," Li Jihe glanced at Li Zhide and said, "You don't know about the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really a secret. Otherwise, why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell us to secretly visit? ”
"There are no more than two reasons for this, one is that he doesn't want the identity of the divine doctor to be known by outsiders, so as to bring disaster to the divine doctor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good heart and does not want to do that ungrateful thing; The other is that the emperor and his old man don't want the prince's assassination to leak out, which will lose the face of the court. After all, the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out on patrol, he went out of the palace without permission. ”
"Again, this Sanyuan County is different from other places, it is close to Chang'an, and it has always been guarded by loyal and upright people like adults. If Lord Li helps me find it, I won't worry about something leaking out. However, if the divine doctor is really not in Sanyuan County, it will be a little difficult to do, and we will have to give up. ”
"What the adults have taught me is that the lower officials have not thought through enough." Li Zhide bent over and admitted his mistake. No matter how much he said this, it was a royal secret, and he did say the wrong thing just now.
"Hmm." Li Jihe took a sip of the tea bowl and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to search the county seat, if there is no news, the official will go back to restore his life." ”
"Yes, sir." Li Zhide stood up knowingly, saluted Li Jihe, and said, "Then the lower official will make some preparations, and the lower official will retire first." ”
The three days passed quickly, a few games, a few lanterns, and it passed.
Liu Yiyi's biggest gain in these three days was to climb the big tree of Gongsun's house. accompanied Gongsun Wenda to play chess for two whole days, coaxing the old man to a great end. When he looked at Liu Yiyi, he was even more affectionate than he was to look at his son. There is also Gongsun Helan, who will take Liu Yiyi to the martial arts hall for a discussion whenever he has the opportunity. Although he was taught a lesson every time, he still enjoyed it and had a masochistic tendency.
On the morning of the seventeenth, Lao Liu was worried about the family's ploughing cattle, so he urged his family to go back in a carriage early in the morning.
When he got home, Lao Liu first refilled the ancestral tablet in front of the table with incense, and the family took turns to worship. After that, he instructed his family to clean up and down the house, clean the dust, remove criticism, and have a safe and auspicious journey.
After the Lantern Festival, the ancestor worship officially ends, and in the evening, the ancestors' tablets should be put away, and the next year will be worshiped again. Lao Liu told Liu to go to the nearby market to buy some sacrifices and come back. The evening festival is the last of the year, so it must be solemn and not sloppy.
Liu Yiyi saw that it was still early, so he took this opportunity to go to the blacksmith He Bo's house, carried back all the ploughshares that had been ordered a few days ago, and sent them to Yuan's house in Xia'er Village. There are twenty ploughshares, which is a lot, but in fact, there are only a dozen catties of pig iron in total. Each ploughshare is only the size of a palm and is fan-shaped, which is far inferior to the ordinary iron plough of modern tillage.
Yanagichi stuffed them all into the basket and carried them all the way down. When he arrived at Yuan's house, Yuan Pei was collecting the two red lanterns hanging on the gate.
Yuan Pei saw Liu Yi coming, hurriedly got down the bamboo ladder, put the lantern he had taken aside, and got up to greet him.
"Uncle Yuan, a piece of courtesy here." Liu Yiyi first gave Yuan Pei a salute and said, "The ploughshare has been fully done, I specially sent it this time, I don't know if Uncle Yuan is at home?" ”
Yuan Pei smiled and saluted: "Doctor Liu is polite, my father is now in the backyard and is polishing the plow bed, so I will take you to find him." Saying that, Yuan Pei made a way for Liu Yiyi, and asked Liu Yi to go first.
Liu Yiyi has been here a few times, and the door is also very skillful, so he is no longer polite to Yuan Pei, and arches his hand at Yuan Pei and walks in.
In the backyard, Yuan Fang was concentrating on planing a wooden plank, not noticing the arrival of Liu Yiyi. At his side, there were already seven or eight complete plough racks. Liu Yiyi was happy when he saw it, and at this rate, Yuan Fang would definitely be able to make all the plowshares by the end of this month.
"Dad, Doctor Liu is here." Yuan Pei walked up to Yuan Fang and shouted in a low voice.
"Oh? Mr. Liu? Yuan Fang turned around when he heard this, and saw that it was really Liu Yiyi, so he put down the tools in his hand, got up and said with a smile: "The old man just has something to discuss with Mr. Liu, and it just so happened that Mr. Liu arrived here." Hehe, Mr. Liu went to the main hall with the old man to gossip. ”
Liu Yiyi unloaded all the ploughshares in the basket, put the basket aside, got up and said to Yuan Fang: "Uncle Yuan is invited, just follow what Uncle Yuan said." ”
When the three of them arrived at the hall, Yuan Pei personally brewed the tea and poured a cup for Yuan Fang and Liu Yiyi respectively.
Liu Yiyi took the tea bowl with both hands, put it lightly on the table, and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Yuan wants to find?" But what was wrong with the plowshare? ”
"Mr. Liu is too worried, Liu's plough has a simple structure, convenient and durable, how can there be any problems?" Yuan Fangdao: "The old man wants to find Mr., but he just wants to make a deal with Mr. ”
"Buying and selling?" Liu Yiyi wondered in his heart, what kind of deal could they have between them, could it be for the plough of the curve?
"Yes, buy and sell!" Yuan Fang's small eyes burst with fine light, and he looked at Liu Yiyi eagerly and said: "The old man wants to partner with Mr. Liu to open a **** Liu's plough workshop, specializing in making and selling Liu's plows, I don't know if Mr. Liu has any intentions in this regard?" ”
"Open a workshop?" Isn't it a factory? Yanagichi's eyes lit up, and it was a good idea. Liu's plough, with its ability to cultivate beyond the times, will soon be accepted by the farmers of this era. Think about it, tens of millions of people in the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as there is land, doesn't every household need one or several ploughs? Well! There is great potential for the sound of the city! And if there is only one factory in the country that can produce and produce, then they don't make a lot of money?
"Yes, of course!" In just a short moment, Liu Yiyi was fascinated by the huge profits inside, and he swallowed his saliva and asked Yuan Fang: "I just don't know what kind of cooperation method Uncle Yuan wants?" ”
