Chapter 25: Childe, Childe
There is an idiom in the East: see the wisdom of the people.
Western Shakespeare famously said: For a thousand spectators, there are a thousand Hamlets.
The same thing, in the eyes of different people, has completely different views.
The cylinder car stands on the bank of the Wei River, rotating with the waves, and the clear stream is like a promise.
For Chen Yu, it is a convenient tool for diverting water.
In the eyes of the tourists who step on the spring, it is a novelty.
In the eyes of the villagers in Juanli, it is a living signboard to attract tourists and make money.
When Yan Lide saw it, what he thought of was Ziyu Pavilion.
Since the rain pavilion, it is the enjoyment of the top rich and noble families in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
A pavilion was built in the courtyard, and the spring water flowed down from the eaves of the Liuwa to form a rain curtain-like mist screen, hence the name.
In the hot summer, riding in it, like a high autumn, is an extremely comfortable way to enjoy the coolness.
In this era when there was no running water, the construction of self-rain pavilions was often limited by the terrain, and if the nearby high places could not attract living water, they could not form the effect of self-rain.
The proximity of the courtyard outside the city to the mountains is convenient for water diversion, but there are only a handful of places in Chang'an City where the rain pavilion can be built.
There are only a few places such as Leyouyuan and Longshouyuan that are high and have canals.
It is because there are people in the city who have Ziyu Pavilion, which is always enviable, and the owner can also have a little more face.
After seeing the cylinder car, Yan Lide, the builder, immediately thought of using the cylinder car to draw water to a high place, so that wherever there is living water, you can build a self-rain pavilion.
After Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, learned about the cylinder car, the first thing he thought of was that water conservancy and irrigation were another sharp weapon.
In this era of relying on the sky for food, water conservancy and irrigation means increasing grain production, reducing famine, increasing population and paying taxes, and is a major matter related to the livelihood of the people and the stability of the society.
Inadvertently, Chen Yu's whimsical move promoted the development of irrigation agriculture in the Tang Dynasty, and was inadvertently noticed by the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty again.
After hearing the news from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui exchanged glances.
"Keming, how about letting Du Gou take Chong'er to Fanchuan tomorrow?"
When Du Ruyan heard this, he smiled slightly, and nodded happily: "It's okay, for the matter of Shangyuan, there should be a word of thanks, and it is most appropriate for Ling Lang to go." ”
"They're all young people, and they're really better suited than us old guys."
The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, and hurried to the Qin Palace.
……
Outside Chang'an City, two men stood on the Shenhe Plateau, looking at the Juanli farmhouse with people coming and going from a distance.
If anyone knows each other, they will find that these two people appeared near Guanyin Temple on the Shangyuan Festival.
"Childe, that day was a bad thing for this son."
"I thought it was just an ordinary teenager, but I didn't expect... It's still a talent. ”
"It's just made by some craftsmen, and it's hard to get into the hall of elegance."
"Wrong, the prime minister came to the door, the emperor made a watch, if the government is also paying attention to him today, who said that this son can't be on the stage."
The son, dressed in plain clothes, overlooked Fan Chuan, his eyes were deep, obviously only in his early twenties, but he lacked vitality and vitality, as if he had experienced vicissitudes.
"I haven't seen any contact with Tiance Mansion."
"Not contacting doesn't mean not paying attention, otherwise the Chang'an County Order will rush to curry favor? What's more, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji and the son of Du Ruhui before. ”
"Oh......"
The middle-aged man behind him answered, and asked in a deep voice, "What are the plans of the childe?" ”
"Isn't there always a lack of someone to break the game? I think it's good. ”
"Him?" Hu behind him couldn't help but hesitate.
"What? Isn't it possible? ”
"It's inconspicuous, isn't it? Country boy, can you enter the game and make waves? ”
"Inconspicuous can not be traced, as long as it is cleverly arranged, why not?
What's more, it's just a matter of asking him to be a stone that breaks the peace, as long as there are ripples on the surface of the lake, it is only a matter of time before the wind helps the waves. ”
"Yes!"
The boy in plain clothes raised his eyes and looked around: "The scenery of Fanchuan is beautiful, and the feng shui here is especially excellent, doesn't the Yin family kid want to build a courtyard outside the city?" I think it's good here. ”
"Childe is saying..."
"You know, go ahead and arrange it. Qingming is coming, I will pay tribute to my grandfather and brother......"
"Yes!"
……
The villagers in Ju'anli have been very busy recently, some of the women are busy in the soy product workshop, and some are cooking in the back kitchen of the farmhouse restaurant.
The men are responsible for sales, procurement and transportation, and various repairs and maintenance. Or go into the mountains to hunt, catch fish and shrimp by the river, and fresh game and aquatic products are loved by diners.
Even the girls to be married who were restricted to the workshop, as well as the half-grown children, had a job and worked as a maid in the restaurant.
Datang does not have a rule prohibiting women from showing their heads, and parents even like their daughters to have more knowledge and skills to make money to supplement their families.
All in all, the whole village is busy, but they are also happy.
The clanging Kaiyuan Tongbao is the biggest driving force, and he is full of energy every day without complaints.
Chen Yu himself is very leisurely, not that he doesn't want to do it, but the villagers don't let him do it.
Now the whole village regards him as a benefactor, treats him as a treasure, and is reluctant to let him work tiringly.
"Brother Yu, you use your brains and come up with ideas, we will do the work."
Li Zheng Laogen's words represented the opinions of the villagers, and Chen Yu didn't even have a chance to refuse, so he was forced to become a shopkeeper.
Except, of course, for important guests.
When he saw Du Gou and a young man in brocade clothes coming together, Chen Yu took the initiative to come forward.
Although I don't know the name of Du Gou, I saw it in Guanyin Temple on the Shangyuan Festival, and I was the guard of Princess Qin at that time, and I also had a sword on Chen Yu's neck, and there was a misunderstanding.
What is the purpose of coming to the door today?
The brocade-clothed young man who came with him, just by looking at the servants of more than ten people behind him, he knew that his identity was not ordinary.
"Zunjia is Chen Xiaolangjun of His Majesty's handwritten inscription of the House of Goodness?"
The young man in brocade bowed slightly and looked at Chen Yu with interest.
"It's down there, I don't know what the two sons are called?"
"Eldest Sun Chong (Du Wei)."
Chen Yu's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
"Xiao Langjun knows that I am waiting?"
"The two eminents are both important ministers of the imperial court, famous people in the Tang Dynasty, and they naturally know about it."
Just kidding, the names of the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui can be called thunderous in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Yu was surprised that the prince of the Du family was actually a guard in the Qin Palace, was it a temporary move or a special arrangement?
The eldest grandson Chong and Du Wei were slightly stunned, their father was indeed famous in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not surprising that the world knew about it.
But they themselves ......
is considered to be the son of a family, in Chang'an City, it is not surprising that some people are familiar with it, but the country boy is also very familiar, which makes them a little surprised.
Thinking of his words about breaking the identity of Princess Qin, Fang Jue's father was true, this son was really unusual.
"I see."
The eldest grandson Chong smiled faintly: "I came here today to thank you for being entrusted by my aunt." ”
"Oh?"
Chen Yu was slightly surprised, and it was not strange that Qin Wangfu thanked him, but he only came to the door two months later, which was somewhat ......
There is also a candidate for this thanks, the eldest grandson Chong is the nephew of Princess Qin, and his identity is appropriate, but Chen Yu still finds it intriguing.
"Shangyuan Festival Zun drove in front of the Guanyin Temple to make a righteous move, but did not leave a name, I waited for a long visit, only to know the identity of the residence, today by the order of my aunt, I came to thank you."
Excuse!
Even if he didn't leave his name, Qin Wangfu wanted to find someone to use for two months? What's more, as expected, he was followed when he returned home that day.
Ignored for nearly two months, at this time, he suddenly asked the eldest grandson Chong and Du Gou to come to the door to thank him, what is the number?
Was you investigating your own details before?
Or is there something else?
"Where, it's just a gesture, Princess Qin is polite, and the eldest grandson doesn't have to be polite."
Chen Yu looked sideways at Du Wei, a silent young man, and smiled humbly.
"In a hurry that day, I misunderstood Chen Xiaolangjun, please forgive me for the offense." Du Gou apologized.
"Du Gongzi is serious."
Although the sword cross neck is very unpleasant, after all, it is a ball, not to mention that the other party is the son of Du Ruhui, and he took the initiative to apologize.
Chen Yu said with a smile: "The two sons came to the door, the small shop was shining, there was nothing else to entertain the two, some country dishes, please sit down and taste." ”
"I've heard of the name of Ju'an tofu for a long time, and I can't ask for it."
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "In the thank you gift brought by my aunt, there are exactly ten liters of three pulps, fine wine and food, just drunk and resting." ”
