Chapter 43: Cai Zhong's Visit
Cai Zhong was symbolically imprisoned by Cai Mao for a month because of a fight with the son of a minister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was not released until today.
And when he returned to Zhengyi, Cai Zhong felt that the air was unprecedentedly beautiful. As the ruler of Zheng Yi, he can really find his own value only here. Moreover, during his absence, he didn't know what happened to the Zheng family, and he didn't know if Meng Zheng could handle it.
"Lady Eizae."
"Lady Eizae."
In front of the Zheng family, the busy servants all greeted and saluted after seeing Cai Zhong.
"Where's your Meng Zheng?"
Cai Zhong asked casually.
"Like...... Not up yet. ”
"Uh...... Haven't gotten up yet? ”
"Hmm."
At this time, Zheng Qing also saw Cai Zhong, because Cai Zhong was an acquaintance, and even almost a family, so he also hurried to greet him.
Zheng Qing explained: "Meng Zheng really hasn't woken up today. ”
"It doesn't make sense, sick?" Cai Zhong looked at the sun that had reached the top of his head. Then, just then, I saw a fair girl walking with the slave, and her eyes moved with the girl.
"That is ......" slave Cai Zhong knew it, and knew that it was Qin Xin's little follower, but he didn't know the fair girl.
"The guest from the family is going to stay here for a while, and she is a son-in-law." Zheng Qing said.
"Son-in-law?" Cai Zhong's mouth opened, obviously a little surprised. Later, he heard the conversation between the girl and the slave, "Let me see." "Don't give. "Stingy. ”
Obviously, the slave and the girl were coming out of Qin Xin and Meng Zheng's room, and before, the two of them were still squatting at the door of Qin Xin and Meng Zheng, looking at each other with a blank look. At this time, the two of them left, and it was certain that Qin Xin and Meng Zheng must have also woken up, and they could also hear the movement of washing in the room. It was - I didn't know what the slave was holding at the time, and the girl wanted to see it, but the slave didn't want her to see it.
However, Meng Zhengyou asked Qin Xin what it was, and Qin Xin replied casually, "That's a children's puzzle early education LCD writing board, for slaves to write silently every morning." "The advantage is that there is no need to recharge and the energy consumption is low. A small coin cell battery can be used for a year. You can write repeatedly and clear the screen with one click. Also eye protection. If it was before, Qin Xin would definitely not take it out so directly, but since Meng Zheng knew about it, he wouldn't hide it. In the future, just let the slave take it himself. That was equivalent to countless pieces of paper and countless pens, which could help Qin Xin leave a lot of pun bean artifacts. The only drawbacks are: the screen is not very large, only the size of a tablet. The slave's enthusiasm for learning was somewhat stimulated by this artifact, and Qin Xin rarely took out this thing before, only when the two of them were alone and there was no one around, the slave slave could use it.
After Qin Xin and his wife finished washing, they soon met Cai Zhong in the front hall.
Cai Zhong first said hello to Qin Xin, and also brought gifts.
Qin Xin looked at the waist jade pendant sent by Cai Zhong, and also thanked: "Lord Yi Zai is too polite. ”
In the past, although Qin Xin would meet Cai Zhong, he basically didn't say hello, and just made a salute from afar. At that time, Cai Zhong almost regarded Qin Xin as a little transparent, just like Zheng Qing would only ask for Meng Zheng's opinion, not Qin Xin's opinion, because only people with the same or similar status had the opportunity to talk. Obviously, Cai Zhong suddenly became so polite today, also because Qin Xin became an official. Moreover, Qin Xin can now nominally control Cai Guobaigong, although it is only nominal, but this power is far beyond the scope of many people's bearing. If it weren't for the fact that this power did not affect the interests of anyone in the court, Qin Xin would have been worried about it a long time ago.
Before, everyone was not optimistic about the Zheng family, but now, there are probably many people who are thinking about whether to come and visit, chat and cheer for the relationship. But they couldn't guess what the king's thoughts were, since the king didn't make a big announcement, but secretly appointed the position, it means that he didn't want too many people to know about this matter, and it was too public. If they came to visit Zheng's house in broad daylight, would it seem too much? After thinking about it, in the end, everyone was quiet again. Anyway, let's see how the Zheng family makes a move first! In addition, in fact, there are still many people who still can't understand it. It stands to reason that if Qin Xin is a little expert in rice planting, why not promote Qin Xin to a rice man, and take charge of the planting of rice, but instead of being a 'hundred foremen', to be honest, many people in the court and China still don't know the reason for this. At present, there are only three people in the world who know the reasons for this, one is Cai Hou himself, one is Xiao Sikou Cai Song, and the other is Qin Xin.
Therefore, what Qin Xin will do next, many people are still in the clouds. Probably, without waiting for Qin Xin to make a move, they didn't know what Qin Xin, the hundred foreman, was responsible for, and what he had to do.
Hearing Qin Xin call him Lord Yi Zai, Cai Zhong himself was probably quite embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law is too polite, they are all their own people, just call me big brother." "Qin Xin is currently a sergeant, and Cai Zhong is Cai Mao's son, Cai Mao is a middle doctor, thinking about it, the other party will inherit Cai Mao's position in the future, and he will also be a middle doctor, so the other party's eldest brother doesn't seem to be very arrogant. Or, even if Qin Xin is promoted to sergeant now, when it comes to the status of the two, this little brother, he still has to lead it for the time being.
It's just really strange, in the past, Cai Zhong just glanced at him, and he didn't know him at all, but now, he calls himself 'big brother'. It's really a ......
In fact, not only Cai Zhong himself is embarrassed, but Qin Xin himself is also embarrassed, Qin Xin thinks that he never recognizes his brother casually, but later, putting aside the idea of interests, in terms of affection, it is indeed more appropriate to call Cai Zhong the eldest brother.
"Then I will be called Brother Cai from now on." Cai Zhong is actually not much older than Qin Xin, but after all, Cai Zhong's family had helped the Zheng family before, and the two families have been friends for generations, so it doesn't matter if Brother Cai is called this time. It was also this Brother Cai, and the conversation after that became slowly and natural.
After some casual talk, Cai Zhong mentioned, "Why is it 'Hundred Foremen' instead of 'Rice People'?" Because he knew that it was his own people, the Cai family had also helped the Zheng family a lot, and it could be regarded as an alliance, so Qin Xin was also very happy to reveal a little news, "I am specialized in experiments and research." Harvesting rice is just one of the experimental research projects, and I will do more experiments and research in the future, not necessarily limited to rice. I may try to make a good harvest of wheat, or I may make a good harvest of flax, but what I make Cai Hou value is not the ability of a certain aspect, but a kind of thinking that can explore the inner development of all things, and finally this kind of thinking can not only make rice harvest, but everything can be done. ”
"Is it really possible for you to say that? If there can be a bumper harvest of wheat and flax, then wouldn't our Cai Guo ......"
"As long as people are willing to use their brains, anything is possible, but everyone is used to not using their brains."
"Nazizhi, do you have any new ideas now? For example, you can have a good wheat harvest. ”
"This ...... Not yet. Because experiments and research are not something that can be thought of overnight, nor are they something that can be thought of casually, often many times, it needs a flash of inspiration. But there is no doubt that as long as it can succeed once, then not only Cai Guo, but even the whole world, not only this generation, but even our children and grandchildren for generations to come, will be able to benefit from it. I'm just mentioning that the king can develop Cai Guo according to this idea. And because the king trusted me, he gave me the position of 100 foreman. ”
"Taught!" It was the first time Cai Zhong had heard this point of view, and he bowed sideways and said respectfully.
"Don't dare to be, communicate with each other."
Qin Xin's current 100 foremen are somewhat equivalent to the Academy of Sciences in later generations. In this era, everyone does not have much subjective initiative in the development of science and technology, and Qin Xin should probably be the first person in this era to propose that we should take the initiative to develop science and technology, so as to rely on science and technology to strengthen the country. Obviously, this point of view has been taken by Cai Hou at present, and of course Cai Hou will not put all the treasures on Qin Xin's body, but he just hopes that if Qin Xin can really bring him a certain harvest, he will also earn it. This is just a branch that has opened up slightly in the original development direction of Cai Guo. It's just that it's still the same sentence, Qin Xin won't be really so honest about his research results, and hand them all in. People don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, and his wife's fiefdom has not developed well, when will it be reduced to Shangcai, in the future, Qin Xin will definitely report what he has leftovers to the top.
