Chapter 49: Drawing the Line

Zhong Liyu glared at Zhong Li and left with a red face.

Zhongli saw that there was no one to joke about, and he also went back to the room.

In the barracks, Zhao Yiyan has been paying attention to Qu Yuanli during this time, after all, this is related to the livelihood of the people in the whole world.

After a period of observation, he found that everyone who had used the curved plow was full of praise for the curved plow.

This made him very satisfied, after all, this is his jurisdiction, and the people are living well, and he looks at it comfortably.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the farmers, Zhao Yiyan decided to write the story of Qu Yuan Li and send it to the palace. He hopes that this kind of thing can be promoted throughout the country and for the benefit of the general public.

After writing the memo, he sent someone to send it out.

After a quick whip, the fold soon reached the emperor's hands. When he saw the contents of the fold, saying that the efficiency of the quyuan plough was nearly twice as fast as that of the previous plow, the emperor attached great importance to this quyuan plow.

The crown prince Zhao Zijian, who was also assisting the emperor in handling the government affairs next to him, was skeptical when he saw the above content, and said: "Father, none of us have seen this thing, who knows if General Zhao is exaggerating." ”

He has always been dissatisfied with Zhao Yiyan, but Zhao Yiyan has always been at the border, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only stare dryly.

Now that he finally seized an opportunity, how could he let go of Zhao Yiyan.

The emperor groaned slightly, nodded and said, "You're right. However, he still paid attention to this Quyuan plow, after all, if this was true, the entire agricultural history of the Apocalypse would change, and what this change meant, as the emperor, he naturally understood.

"So we might as well send a minister to the past to find out the truth, and also to see the situation at the border gates." In fact, according to his inner thoughts, Zhao Zijian wanted to find fault with Zhao Yiyan and pull Zhao Yiyan off the horse.

Although he has the same thoughts as himself, when he is an emperor, he is most afraid of exposing all his thoughts to others.

Thinking of this, the cold glint in the emperor's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhao Zijian deeply, who immediately lowered his head, only then did he know that he had forgotten his identity.

He is now only a crown prince, not an emperor.

"Go down." The emperor glanced at Zhao Zijian and said expressionlessly.

"The retainers retired." Zhao Zijian hurriedly left.

……

At the border pass, Zhao Yiyan also received the news that the imperial court would send a minister, and he couldn't help frowning.

In this way, the changes here cannot be hidden.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yiyan found the old housekeeper and drew up a contract, so that the old housekeeper could be sent to Zhongli's hands.

Seeing this contract, Zhongli's brows furrowed. It's just that in the contract, Zhao Yiyan said that he would give her three points for the finished Quyuan plow.

Zhongli thought about it and refused, first of all, she didn't need so many curved plows at all, and second, this was originally made by her, even if she needed it, she would make it herself, and she didn't need Zhao Yiyan to give it to her at all.

"Second son, the general has reported the matter of Qu Yuan plough to the imperial court." The old butler stopped at the point and did not elaborate.

But Zhongli understood that the emperor had been suspicious since ancient times, and after receiving this news, the emperor would definitely send a minister to check on it, and there would inevitably be some trouble.

"The general loves the people like a son, and Zhong can't beat the horse." Zhongli still didn't want it, and said calmly.

The corners of the old housekeeper's mouth twitched, and he said: "Second son, the general is the king of Qingyang who is personally sealed by the imperial court, and the general who guards the border passes, and the god of war of the apocalypse......"

He hadn't finished his words yet, but Zhongli had already understood what the old butler meant, which was nothing more than the disparity in status between them. After signing this contract, the relationship between her and Zhao Yiyan was cleared.

"Since the old housekeeper has sent it, then Zhong will sign it." Zhongli took out a pen and signed his name on the contract, which can be regarded as drawing a clear line with Zhao Yiyan.

It's okay in this way, he is his general, and she Zhongli continues to be her landlord, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they are safe with each other.

After getting the contract, the old housekeeper carefully put it away, but did not leave immediately, but said: "The weather has been hot recently, and most of the soldiers in the army can't eat, especially the general, who is worried about the country and the people, and is the most prosperous, I don't know if the second son has a good plan?" ”

Hearing this, Zhong Wei sneered.

She had long known that after Zhao Yiyan ate the Buddha jumping over the wall she made, it was tasteless to eat anything else.

But since he was going to draw a line with her, why did she rush to stick it on her shy face.

"It's not easy to do, I can't eat lately, and I think we are also sympathetic." Zhongli said lightly.

The old housekeeper is old and sophisticated, how could he not understand the meaning of Zhongli's words. It's just because he was embarrassed by what happened just now, and he didn't care, and left after giving up.

Zhongli took out the contract and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and finally put the contract away.

In fact, Zhao Yiyan signed a contract with her, which was also a means to protect her.

After all, Qin is almost there, and if Qin Cha notices that she is a farmer and a court official is getting closer, maybe what she will think.

But she was dissatisfied with the tone of the old housekeeper, as if their farmers were very lowly.

But they don't want to think that if there were no farmers like them, they would just wait to eat the soil.

Just when Zhong Li was indignant, Zhong Liyu's voice came in from the door, "Second brother, the weather is good today, why don't we go out and see how the factory is built?" ”

When she knew that Zhongli handed over the construction of the glaze factory to Wang Qinglin, she felt a little uneasy. After all, the relationship is huge, and if something happens, Wang Qinglin will not escape the relationship.

Although she didn't say it, her heart had already begun to lean towards Wang Qinglin's side.

Zhongli glanced at the absent-minded eldest brother, the unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared, he stood up and walked to the door to look at the sky, raised his eyebrows and said: "Today's weather is really good, it is indeed suitable for going out for a walk, since this is the case, then I will accompany the eldest brother for a trip." ”

Always stuffy in the room like this, she will get sick sooner or later, but fortunately, the air here is fresh, the scenery outside is also good, and it is also a good choice to go out for a walk.

As soon as he went out, Zhong Liyu's footsteps were obviously faster than Zhong Li.

Zhongli smiled and quipped: "Big brother, don't worry, Steward Wang won't run, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

"Second brother!" Zhong Liyu's face turned red all of a sudden.

She found that Zhongli had a stinky problem, and that was to make fun of people.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking." Zhongli saw Zhong Liyu's reaction in his eyes, and hurriedly kept his mouth shut, knowing that if this continued, the eldest sister would be angry.

After walking some distance, they finally reached the river.

From a distance, Wang Qinglin and the workers were working in full swing.

Because it's a cloudy day today, everyone is working very hard.

From a distance, Wang Qinglin saw Zhong Liyu and Zhong Li, and he hurriedly put down the work at hand and said, "Two sons, it's not safe here, please don't get close." ”

Zhongli didn't speak, his eyes kept wandering on the eldest sister and Wang Qinglin. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that they were a good match, Zhongli touched her nose, it seemed that she had the potential to be a matchmaker.

Wang Qinglin saw that Zhong Li didn't speak, but kept staring at him, and couldn't help touching his face, and after making sure that there was nothing dirty on his face, he whispered: "Second son? ”

Zhongli came back to his senses, "It's okay, you're busy with yours, we're just going to come out and go around." ”

Wang Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There happens to be a boat over there, why don't the two sons get on the boat and swim in the lake." To be honest, he thought that he had done something wrong and made the master dissatisfied.

Zhong Li glanced at the crystal clear river water, and her heart moved slightly, but the elders here are respected, she looked at Zhong Liyu and said, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”

In front of Wang Qinglin, Zhong Liyu always had the shyness of a little daughter, but neither Zhong Liyu nor Wang Qinglin knew it.

"Then let's go check it out." Zhong Liyu whispered.

Zhongli saw the reaction of the eldest sister and finally got on the boat.

Because they didn't know how to row, Wang Qinglin specially called an old farmer who could row a boat to accompany them on the boat.

The boat was not large, just big enough for the three of them.

Zhongli and Zhongli Yu sat on one side by one, while the boatman rowed in the middle.

The boat paddles slowly on the clear water, the air is filled with the scent of grass and flowers, and wild ducks swim by from time to time on the water.

This was Zhongli's most relaxing day since he came into this world.

She took water from the river and washed her face, and the cold feeling was refreshing.

"Second brother, you see there are wild duck eggs here!" Zhong Liyu suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhong Li's reverie.

Looking down, I found some wild duck eggs in the water.

"The two sons are lucky, the wild duck eggs in this piece have already been touched by the children on weekdays."

Zhongli laughed, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wild duck eggs in the water, this is a good thing, a big supplement.

Compared with Zhongli's carelessness, Zhong Liyu looked very restrained, and when she saw that Zhongli was about to finish picking up the wild duck eggs, she made up her mind to roll up her sleeves and pick them up.

At this moment, she felt that she was an innocent girl, and she didn't have to worry about her younger siblings.

Looking at the eldest sister's heartfelt smile, Zhongli suddenly stopped picking it up and gave the rest of the eggs to the eldest brother.

After a round on the river, when they returned, the cabin was full of wild duck eggs.

After getting off the boat, Zhongli roughly counted the people present, silently counted the eggs, and called Wang Qinglin and said, "Go find a pot and make a fire to cook egg drop soup." ”

Wang Qinglin looked at the wild duck eggs in the cabin, and immediately understood what Zhongli meant, and immediately called someone to do it.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, but after a while, a faint smell of eggs wafts on the river.

The workers each had a boiled wild duck egg in their hands and a bowl of soup in their hands, and they were satisfied.

None of them expected that there would be an unexpected snack today.

Zhongli watched everyone's reactions, and returned to Zhuangzi with Zhongli Yu with the remaining wild duck eggs.

They were fed, and now it was their turn.
