Chapter 74: Uncle and Nephew?

"No, no, no, Master Li misunderstood." Liu Yiyi hurriedly waved his hand, in this era when officials don't talk about business, and business is not an official, he doesn't want to affect the career of the second child of their family because he is alone. Then he explained: "One is a farmer, and this kind of land cultivation is my duty, and I will never give up." As for the workshop, it is just producing some agricultural plowshares, and I am only a name, and I will not participate in the production and sales, so I can't be considered a businessman, right? ”

"Farm tools?" Li Zhide's brows eased, farm tools and medicine are industries that Chaoyan strongly supports, and it doesn't matter much, so he said to Liu Yiyi: "As long as you don't get involved, it's fine." You must know that although there is nothing wrong with this business, no one forces you not to be a businessman. But the name of a businessman always hurts his face when he says it. Besides, Nijo is still a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Wang, and his future prospects are limitless, and you can't let a businessman ruin him. ”

"What the adults said is very true, one is taught. It's just this workshop, and I hope that adults can take care of one or two. Liu Yiyi accompanied the smiling face, pretending to say to Li Zhide mysteriously: "Adults may not know that this plow is a new type of Liu's plough, if it can be popularized on a large scale in Sanyuan County, the cultivation rate of all farmers in Sanyuan County will be tripled, or even more." ”

"If we can take Sanyuan as the base, and then promote it to the whole country, my lord, then Sanyuan County will inevitably become the focus of the entire Tang Empire..."

"Oh?" When Li Zhide heard this, his eyes lit up, and his liver began to come alive. has been an official for so many years, he can naturally hear the meaning of Liu's words. If it can really be as Liu Yiyi said just now, then this is a great achievement and merit, wouldn't his official career be able to soar?

Picking up the tea bowl, the cow took a sip, and stabilized his mind, Li Zhide opened his mouth and asked, "What Brother Liu said, can it be true?" Is there really that kind of plough? It won't be the kind of 'plough' that was short-lived in the past few years, right? ”

Liu Yiyi glanced at Li Zhide unexpectedly, he didn't think that this old Li also knew about 'Wei Li', it seems that this county lord also knows a little bit about agriculture, and he is not the kind of useless scholar. But this is better, only those who know how to see the value of the quyuan plough better.

"My lord," said Liuyi, "the Liu's plough is by no means comparable to the vulgar and extremely expensive ploughshare of the Wei plow. The cost of a Liu's plough is only 500 Wen, although it is more expensive than the current plowshare, but his farming efficiency is two to three times that of an ordinary plowshare, with it, a farmer can plough more fields in the same time, what this means, adults should know better than villains. ”

"This means that a farmer's cultivation area can be expanded to two to three times a year, and a lot of land in Mihara County that has been idle for many years will be utilized, and the grain output will also increase proportionally. Correspondingly, the taxes received by Chaoyan will also be considerable. ”

I have to say that Liu Yiyi's slightly low words did have considerable temptation, and Li Zhide was so fooled by him that he began to get dizzy. "Brother Liu, where is the kind of plough you said now, so that it is convenient for the official to have a glimpse of it? If it is really as Brother Liu said, the government will definitely give full support. ”

Li Zhide was a little impatient to take a look at the Liu family's plough that Liu Yiyi said, if it really had a miraculous effect, then the day of his promotion would not be far off.

At the same time, Li Zhide's gaze at Liu Yiyi also became hot, and he said in his heart that this Liu Yiyi was really a blessed man of a prosperous official, wasn't Wang Zhihong promoted to Chang'an in advance with his help? Perhaps, he, Li Zhide, can also take advantage of this to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency!" At this time, the subordinate who guarded the door came in to report and said, "The young master of the grandson is here to visit." ”

"Lan'er? What did he come to do? You go and let him in. Li Zhide waved his hand and ordered. Then he said to Liu Yiyi: "It's one of my nephews, a big family in Sanyuan County, I'll introduce you to you in a while." I think it will help you in the future. ”

Young Master Gongsun, Lan'er? Khan, what Li Zhide said wouldn't be Gongsun Helan's house, right? Liu Yiyi was thundered a lot, in addition to Li Zhide's title, there is also the relationship between Li Zhide and the Gongsun family. He nodded his head in response, "Thank you, for the mention." ”

"Uncle, uncle!" Before entering the door, I heard a sound like a broken gong, and it was Gongsun Helan Gongzi from Gongsun Mansion who arrived.

"Huh? Eldest brother! Big brother, why are you here? As soon as he entered the door, Gongsun Helan saw Liu Yiyi sitting in the house, holding his broken fan, shouting and walking towards Liu Yiyi. When he arrived at Liu Yiyi, he straightened his clothes in an orderly manner, saluted Liu Yiyi, and said, "I've seen a big brother." ”

"Uh-huh, Brother Xian is polite." Liu Yiyi waved his hand unceremoniously, which was considered a return of the courtesy.

Gongsun Helan belongs to the kind of abnormal human being who is looking for a draw, every time you fight with him, the harder you beat him, the more he will respect you. Yanagichichi is used to it.

"Lan'er, do you know Brother Liu?" Seeing that his nephew, who had always been naughty, would treat Liu Yiyi so politely, Li Zhide's chin hung and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the eye-catching folding fan, he really wouldn't dare to recognize this son-in-law who looked gentle, knew etiquette, and knew how to advance and retreat.

"Of course, uncle, this is the brother I just met the other day. How can you not recognize it? Saying that, Gongsun Helan shook the folding fan, sat down next to Liu Yiyi, and began to promote Liu Yiyi for free, "Uncle, it's not me who blows with you, my eldest brother is not only strong in martial arts, but even his poetry is extraordinary, and my father's old man is full of praise for him." And the chess game that my father asked me to send to my uncle a few days ago, but it was also from my eldest brother. ”

"Oh?" Li Zhide looked Liu Yi up and down again, both civil and military? Chess? Is it possible? Is this what Liu Yiyi values Wang Zhihong?

There is also Gongsun Wenda, his old brother-in-law, who has always had a very high vision, and he has never given a good face to his brother-in-law, who was born as a jinshi, can this Liu Yi really get into his eyes?

"Lord Wang, don't listen to Brother Helan's nonsense." Liu Yiyi glanced at Gongsun Helan unceremoniously, quite a bit of a brother's posture, and said, "This kid loves to talk nonsense, don't care." One is just knowing some crops, where will it be in the eyes of Uncle Gongsun. ”

"Hehe, Brother Liu is too modest." Li Zhide said with a smile: "Although Xiao Lan'er likes to mess around, he never lies. Well, let's settle the matter of your workshop first, and I'll say hello to the following tomorrow, and the approval will be issued to you in two days. But before that, I want to take a look at that new type of plowshare, I don't know if it's inconvenient? ”

Liu Yiyi knew that Li Zhide was not very relieved, so he said with a smile: "The plough is now in the home of Master Yuan Fang in Xia'er Village, if Lord Wang has time, he can go and inspect it in person." The cultivation ability of the Liu family plough will not disappoint Lord Wang. ”

"What workshop, plowshares, big brother, are you going to do business?" Gongsun Helan was a little confused when she heard this, so she interjected: "If you are short of money, the younger brother can help some." But if the eldest brother wants to be in business, I think it's better to forget it. That kind of lowly profession is not for big brothers. ”
