Chapter Twenty-Nine: Back to Xingyang (1)
Planning for Xu Shiji's future?
That's!
Zheng Yanqing knew very well that the lifespan of the Sui Dynasty would not exceed ten years. Ten years later, Xu Shiji is only in his twenties, what is the use of the future at this time? He knew that although Xu Shiji had a good relationship with him, he needed a stronger line to connect Xu Shiji with him.
With Li Ji here, Zheng Yanqing knows very well that he and Li Valve have been involved.
But that's not enough!
Li Er's family was ruthless when he grew up, and he didn't even let go of his own brothers, let alone a student of a clan? Zheng Yanqing wants to firmly hug Li Er's thighs, and at the same time weave a network that can protect himself.
Xu Shiji is a point in this big net, as well as Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling earlier, all of whom are part of this net. As long as there is such a net to protect him, he can hug Li Er's thigh with peace of mind and be happy.
Speaking of which, Yan Qing is quite regretful.
Li Yuan came to Luoyang twice, but passed by him twice.
It's really unwilling to think about it...... But he also knew that Li Yuan's current identity and status were very embarrassing and very subtle.
At the end of last year, a folk song appeared on the streets of Luoyang.
The song says: Peach and plum, win the world; The queen went around Yangzhou and turned into a garden. Don't talk nonsense, who will say yes...... The appearance of this extremely famous "Taoli Chapter" in later generations made Yang Guang begin to have doubts. Who made this ballad, and where did it come from? No one can tell! However, not long after Tao Li Zhang appeared, Li Yuan was dismissed from his post as the Taishou of Lou Fu, and suddenly became a young eunuch in the palace with little authority!
What if there is no 'Taoli Zhang' factor in this?
I'm afraid that even Yang Guang himself doesn't believe it.
Therefore, after Li Yuan arrived in Luoyang at the end of last year, he did not see Zheng Yanqing.
I visited a few old friends, and left Luoyang in a hurry early in the morning on the second day of the first lunar month. But it's not bad, he left Ma Sanbao, and it can be regarded as a formal connection between Yanqing and Li Valve.
The night was dark, and everyone was already asleep.
Yan Qing couldn't sleep, and sat on the porch, engrossed in cooking sencha.
The faint fragrance of tea permeates the forest, as if there is nothing, and slowly dissipates with the rustle of bamboo leaves. Two little mastiffs were crawling beside Yan Qing, half-squinting, as if they had fallen asleep. But when the straight-edged ears moved, they reacted immediately if the wind blows.
Infighting in the Zheng family?
Yanqing didn't care about this.
With his current status, reputation, and wealth, no matter whether Zheng Renji can take charge of An Yuantang or not, the Zheng family will not dare to touch him at all.
He is a dignified captain in the court.
is also a student of Changsun Sheng, and it is common sense that he will enter the phase in the future. Whether Zheng Shanyuan or Zheng Shiji, even if you really want to move him Zheng Yanqing, you have to think about the stakes involved...... Therefore, Zheng Yanqing is not afraid!
He is now thinking about how to obtain greater benefits for his grandchildren.
If Zheng Shi'an can enter the clan elders' association, then he will have a channel to speak in the Zheng family in the future.
Don't underestimate this clan elders, in this era, a clan can sometimes influence a dynasty.
The small clan elders' association contains great power. Being able to make his voice heard in the clan elders meeting has huge benefits for Zheng Yanqing. This is equivalent to the Standing Committee of the city and county in later generations, you have the title of Standing Committee, and the role is immeasurable.
biological parents, so far there are no clues.
Yan Hu's life and death are unknown, and even Chang Sun Sheng's and other characters can't be found.
Zheng Yanqing no longer thinks about who his biological father is? If he can't find it, he must gain a foothold in the Zheng family and gain a firm foothold.
Returning to the sect with Zheng Shi'an is only the first step.
Gaining the voice of the elders is his second step plan.
Then, being able to slowly infiltrate, and even control the Xingyang Zheng family, is his ultimate goal. Through the Zheng family, he can be invincible. Even if Li Jiancheng and Li Er compete for the crown prince, he only needs to abide by the middle and ...... When the dispute between the princes subsides, it will be an opportunity for him to infiltrate the court.
embracing Li Er's thighs, his back against the Zheng family's big tree, and the huge network of relationships he is weaving now...... Ha, who dares to touch me?
Zheng Yanqing thought of this, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a handsome arc.
He put down the tea bowl in his hand and picked up the wooden box from his side.
The drawings in this are the drawings of the Quyuan plough that he drew three years ago.
Compared with the Zhiyuan plough that was popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Quyuan plow made several important improvements. First of all, the straight wheel and the long wheel are changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, and it can also be convenient to turn around and turn, and the straight wheel plow is much more flexible than the straight wheel plow, and can save more manpower and animal power.
According to memory, Zheng Yanqing added the plow comment and plow key.
If the plough evaluation is promoted, the ploughshare can be made deeper into the soil; If the plough is raised, the plough key is upward, and the ploughshare is shallow when it enters the soil.
This kind of rational use of plough evaluation, plough key and ploughshare, organic combination of structure, suitable for deep ploughing, shallow tillage of different needs. And it can adjust the standardization of cultivated land, which is more conducive to intensive cultivation.
At the same time, the plough wall can follow the map and push the ploughed soil to the side to reduce resistance.
Historically, the emergence of the Jiangdong plough has greatly strengthened the progress of agriculture. Moreover, its rational structure, even after the four dynasties of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even after the establishment of the republic, has not been able to change greatly.
Later generations only made minor changes to its structure to make it more rational.
The Quyuan plough designed by Zheng Yanqing is close to the structure of the plough in later generations. The whole plough is broken down into eleven important components.
After Yan Qing designed this curved plow, he also asked the male sledgehammer to personally take action and create a pair.
But it is only this pair, he needs a suitable opportunity to promote this pair of Quyuan plows. Giving the preparation method of white granulated sugar and rock sugar to Zhang Zhongjian enabled him to gain the friendship of the Zhang family in Wu County and obtain huge benefits.
Now, he needs to get the right to speak for the Zheng family, so it's time for this Quyuan plough to appear!
Thinking of this, he packed up the drawings of the Qu Yuan plough and put them in the box.
After taking a sip of tea, Yan Qing closed his eyes, bathed in the soft night breeze, and after a long time, exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
…………………………………………………………………… The next day, Yan Qing got up early.
Although he slept a little late last night, his biological clock had already formed a habit, and he woke up just after midnight, when it was still dark.
With two small mastiffs, run in the bamboo garden.
The speed of the four-eyed mastiff is amazing, but it has not yet been revealed due to its young age. But even so, they were able to keep up with the speed of Yanqing. After running three laps, his whole body warmed up, and Zheng Yanqing practiced in the forest clearing.
After a set of guided health preservation techniques are practiced, then concentrate on the pile work.
The pile is called the mixed yuan pile, which is passed down by Changsun Sheng. He can effectively calm the qi and blood, enhance the growth of kidney qi, and is quite effective as an auxiliary exercise to guide health preservation. At the same time, the mixed element pile has the effect of increasing eyesight and strengthening.
This is the basis for learning the archery skills of the Changsun clan, Yan Qing's eyesight is already better than ordinary people, and now with the assistance of the mixed yuan pile, it has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
After practicing, the time has passed.
The sky was bright, but the people in the bamboo garden also got up one after another and started to move.
Mao Wang cleaned the bamboo garden path, and Aunt Mao began to prepare meals. The three brothers of Dang Shijie, under the leadership of Shen Guang, practiced martial arts and worked hard. Xu Shiji and Wang Zheng practiced the sword technique for a while, and then rode a horse to practice the basic skills of the horse lance.
Taking advantage of Xu Shiji's practice, Wang Zhengze leisurely, changed into a loose coat, and walked in the forest.
Zheng Yanqing found Ma Sanbao and handed him a letter.
"Sambo, I have a very important thing to teach you to do today.
You hold my waist card, set off at noon, go to Zhang's mansion in Jiangdu, and hand over this letter to Brother Zhang. If you tell Third Brother Zhang, just say that I said it, and you must deal with this matter properly within ten days, and I owe him a favor. ”
Ma Sanbao nodded solemnly, and after receiving the letter, he prepared the items.
From Luoyang to Jiangdu, it takes about five days. Fortunately, there is no shortage of good horses on Zheng Yanqing's side, and Xue Ju sent over more than a dozen Western Regions BMWs, and their feet are extremely strong. After instructing Ma Sanbao, Aunt Mao prepared breakfast.
At this time, Shen Guang, Xu Shiji and others also came back, and everyone sat in the porch living room to eat.
This is also a feature of the bamboo garden.
In other families, the slave does not want to sit and eat with the master, and only two meals of food and clothing may not be guaranteed.
In Zhuyuan, not to mention three meals, Yanqing has no shelves.
The three brothers of the party family are also very comfortable here, so no matter what they do, they will do their best.
"Brother Shen, I have something to entrust to you."
"What's the matter?"
"I ask you to go to Xingyang secretly, remember, it's a secret trip."
Zheng Yanqing said, and took out another letter from his arms, "Give this letter to Xiao Nian, and ask her to make a special trip to my grandfather immediately." ”
The secret is not to let people know.
Shen Guang hadn't seen Zheng Shi'an, but he had seen Mao Xiaonian.
He immediately took the letter, "Young Master, just rest assured, Shen Guang will definitely handle this matter properly." ”
Wang Zheng and others were puzzled.
They didn't know what kind of medicine Zheng Yanqing was selling in this gourd. And Xu Shiji had already guessed a clue last night, and he was very excited. He was excited for nothing else, just because Yan Qing just told him last night that he wanted to seek a future for him, and he took action today, indicating that what Yan Qing said was true. Zheng Yanqing looks up to him so much, values him so much...... For Xu Shiji, who was just a businessman, he firmly remembered Yanqing's friendship.
He didn't say anything, looked at Zheng Yanqing, and then silently took a sip of soy milk.
"Yanqing, do you need me to do anything?"
"Brother Xu, your task is the heaviest!" Zheng Yanqing said with a smile: "The exam is about to start, you have to study hard recently, and you must get a good grade." As for the rest, I'll do my best to do it for you. ”
Xu Shiji's heart warmed, and he nodded vigorously.
"Yanqing Wa'er, are you going to do something?"
Wang Zheng couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Zheng Yanqing took a bite of the meat bun made by Aunt Mao, and smiled, "If my guess is right, I don't think the eldest prince will send someone over and ask me to turn back to Xingyang...... It just so happens that Qingming is approaching, and since I returned to Luoyang four years ago, it has been a long time, and I have not worshiped my ancestors! ”
Paying tribute to the ancestors is a big deal.
Zheng Yanqing is now listed in the Zheng family tree, and there is nothing wrong with returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Xu Shiji smiled slightly, and at the same time sighed secretly: Yan Qing is younger than me, but he has such a plan. I have to work harder, otherwise I will be more and more distant from Yanqing, and when the time comes, what face will I have to afford him to say 'Brother Xu'?
