Chapter 61: Li Zheng and the Elders Report (Second Update)
When Cheng Xianling heard the words of the people in the house, his brows furrowed, he turned his head to look at Song Jinggong, who was also puzzled, and asked the man, "Do you know what those two people are doing here?" ”
"I don't know, the two of them didn't say anything to the little one, thinking that it must be a big deal for the two of them to set off from yesterday and rush here."
"En" Cheng County Ling bowed slightly, didn't say anything else, and led Song Jinggong to the mansion together.
Song Jinggong didn't say much, he could guess why he was here with the elder here, probably what the little prince said when he asked him to come, Ge Yingxi couldn't find out after several attempts, so he reported the matter of the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang to the public.
These two people don't have any grades, they are almost the same as the village Zheng, it is nothing more than coordinating some things in the village and countryside, but unfortunately, the little boy has thought of it a long time ago, and arranged it first, so he doesn't have to worry about being calculated behind his back.
Cheng Xianling only slept for less than two hours, but now he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was still in the excitement of being praised by the people, so he asked Song Jinggong to go to the side room to rest, and he came to the hall by himself.
Sitting here and drinking tea three times, the village and the elder saw that the county order was coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted, and the two of them didn't sleep for long, and they were in the same spirit as the county order at the moment.
"It turned out to be Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao, I don't know if I found the county this morning, but what happened over there?" Cheng County Ling was also more polite to the two people, especially the old man surnamed Feng, who was originally also a person who did things in the yamen, and he was promoted from the position of the county to the office, because of his high status in the township, others pushed him as an elder, and it was not good to be lazy.
Qi Li Zheng and Feng Lao glanced at each other, and finally Qi Li Zheng spoke: "Lord County Commander, the two of us do have a big matter to inform Lord Yu County Order. ”
"Oh? You're not busy, you two haven't eaten yet, have you? The waiter sent a snack, and after eating, the official was the same, tossing until now, with an empty stomach. ”
Cheng Xianling saw that there seemed to be a hint of joy on the faces of these two people, so he was not in a hurry, and ordered someone to serve a snack and sit there to accompany the two to eat.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao were indeed hungry, especially Feng Lao, who was old and came overnight and needed to eat something to rest.
The three of them ate while drinking tea and didn't speak, Qi Li was relatively younger, and while eating, he pondered how to tell the good news to the county magistrate for a while, and he could be regarded as having a great achievement at that time.
While eating, I thought, yesterday evening, Ge Yingxi, the village leader of Ge Zhuangzi, came to find it, and told him about the spring ploughing of the two Zhuangzi, and he didn't believe it at first, but then he lit a torch and went over there to check, and then he realized that it was really a second plough that had begun.
This is a great thing, other families have not even ploughed the ground again, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi people are not many, but the land is ploughed fast, there are only a few night watchmen left in the ground, and nothing is asked after asking, if it weren't for Ge Yingxi saying that the plow used here is different from other places, he was almost deceived by the night watchman of Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi.
There are such good things that don't even take it out, and they don't report it to themselves and others, and it's just a matter of changing it to the side, but this thing that can speed up spring plowing can't be let go of anything, since that's the case, then I have to push it.
After going through the matter in his heart, Qi Li was taking a sip of tea from time to time, stopping to look at the county order and Feng Lao, thinking that his prestige could be further in the future, and he felt that this tea was also better than in the past.
Feng Lao also suppressed the excitement in his heart and ate there, Ge Yingxi and Qi Li were looking for it together last night, he also followed to take a look, and when he took out his identity, no one called the person in charge, not to say that he would wait until tomorrow morning.
He knew how much benefit the kind of plough that could make the plough faster than others would be to the entire Tang Dynasty, even if the Zhang family Zhuangzi didn't seem to want to take it out, he had to report it.
This snack lasted for two quarters of an hour before it ended, and Cheng Xianling took another sip of tea and asked, "Do Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao feel less uncomfortable in their stomachs?" ”
The two of them should be together, and this time it is still Qi Lizheng who is starting, "My lord, I am waiting to come this time, because I have something important to know, and this matter can benefit the country and the people." ”
"Oh? What can be done to benefit the country and the people, come about it quickly. Cheng Xianling made a anxious look at this time, just now he asked his family to accompany him to eat, but he was really not in a hurry in his heart, benefiting the country and the people? What could be bigger than a new plow that you just made?
Qi Lizheng coughed softly, trying not to be so excited, and said, "My lord, I have found a place where spring plowing is several times faster than elsewhere, and I heard that a new plough is used there that is different from other places.
Feng Lao and I checked overnight, and when we went over there to see, if this is the case, other places have not been ploughed again, and the second ploughing has begun over there, and when I wait to see, the second time has also been ploughed a lot, and the fertilizer has been turned into the soil, and then I will use people to step on it, and there will be more harvests in the autumn harvest.
Feng Lao and I wanted to meet the person in charge of the Zhuangzi, but no one came out there, so I had to wait for the dawn to say, Feng Lao was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and he would not admit that there was a new plough at that time, so he came overnight. ”
Cheng Xian Ling listened there, at first I thought there was something else, and after listening to it, I understood, it turned out to be for the matter of Quyuan plow, and now there is nothing surprising, and the heart said that you two haven't seen the plow yet, so I came over, and I personally sent the plow to others, and I was not as anxious as you.
"Well, that's the case, I know." Cheng Xianling waited until Qi Li finished speaking, then nodded casually, picked up the tea bowl and drank it there again.
"My lord, you should quickly send someone over to check on them, and find the two Zhuangzi stewards and ask them to offer them."
Qi Li was not happy when he saw that Cheng County Commander was not happy, so he was anxious at this time, and urged loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was a little worried that the county magistrate would blame him, and he sat there anxious and didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Feng Lao also spoke up, "My lord, what Qi Lizheng said is indeed right, in case the people over there don't want to send the new plough and secretly destroy it, then I will have a good thing missing." ”
"Well, since Elder Feng also said so, then the official will let Elder Feng and Qi Li feel at ease." Cheng County Ling called a subordinate in the middle of the mansion as he spoke, and commanded two words in his ear, and the subordinate turned away.
Cheng County Order continued to greet the two of them to drink tea here, Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao thought that the county order would let people go to Zhuangzi over there, and it was also a lot more stable.
After about a quarter of an hour, the servant who had just left returned to the hall, with a set of plows behind him.
"Qi Li is looking at Feng Lao, but such a plow? Unlike the ordinary straight plough, the plough is curved. Cheng Xianling took another sip of tea, and said to the two with a smile, This plow was just taken from Zhou Xihu.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao had never seen what the plough used on the Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang's two families looked like, and they only heard the housekeeper of Gezhuang say that the new plough was different from the old plow.
The two of them also knew that no matter how fast the horse was to rush from the county seat to the village, it was impossible for the horse to run back and forth in such a short time, which showed that the county order had already been here.
"My lord, I wonder where you got this plow?" Ziri was speaking again.
"In a family in the county, the official already knows why Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao came, the two of you can rest assured, at dawn today, the official will order someone to post a notice in the county, so that the people of spring ploughing can go over there to buy, and this morning the official came back from outside, just to go to verify the new plow."
Cheng Xianling made an unfathomable look, and said to Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao with a smile.
"This, this ......." Ziri was about to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"My lord, since you already know, why don't you let people do more at the beginning of spring ploughing?" Feng Lao asked at this time.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, a new plow comes out, whether it's easy to use is still unknown, when you have to find someone to use it first, that Zhang Wang and Zhuangzi also think so, now it seems that it is really good." Cheng Xianling spoke, and glanced at the subordinate with his eyes.
This person followed the county order to the Zhuangzi last night to verify, naturally understood what the adult meant, and immediately said: "Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao may not know that this new plough is called Quyuan Plow, which was made by my family and the Zhuang family on the Zhangjia Zhuangzi, which took a lot of effort.
After the two families of Zhang Wang used it and sent someone to send a new plow, the adults ignored their own fatigue, while ordering people to rush to the system first, and on the other hand, they personally went to the nearby village to verify. ”
The subordinate began to wipe his tears as he spoke, and it seemed that he was really distressed by the county commander.
Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao were stupid, their eyes looked at Cheng County's order, and they didn't find that they had lost weight, they originally thought they could get some praise, but they didn't expect that the county order would have been known for a long time, and this new plow was still from the hands of the county order, Qi Lizheng did not doubt it, but Feng Lao, who had been a county officer, knew the doorway.
It seems that the Zhang family has found Cheng County's order, no wonder they don't care about themselves and Qi Li Zheng in the past, the most important thing is that people have thought more about this aspect, and they and Qi Li are running all night in vain, and in the end they didn't get anything.
"It turned out to be a new plow made by an adult, Feng really doesn't know what to say here, my lord is really a good official, for the sake of the people, adults should rest more, don't tire yourself out, the people in the county can't lose such a good official as adults."
Feng Lao couldn't find anything else to say now, and as soon as he finished speaking, he had to get up and leave.
Cheng Xianling hurriedly said: "Qi Lizheng and Feng Lao don't have to hurry to leave, wait for a rest, and go to the place where the plow is sold with this official to have a look." ”
