Chapter 55: Seeing the Qu Yuan Plow
Zhongli nodded, her previous efforts had not been in vain.
"Or the second son has a way." The farmer praised from the bottom of his heart.
They have been doing farm work all their lives, and they have done what others do, and they have never used their own brains, and now they find out that there is such a method.
"That's also your credit, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to grow it alone." Zhongli said gratefully.
"Second son, don't say that." The farmer said in horror.
"Okay, okay, you don't blame each other here, I think you are both indispensable."
Zhao Zijian smiled and quickly interjected, just looking at Zhongli's eyes a lot deeper.
Hearing this, Zhongli and the farmer laughed at the same time.
"This boy is right." The farmer wiped the sweat from his forehead again.
"Yes, yes, it's too hot now, let's all go back." Zhongli also doesn't like the taste of being exposed to the sun.
On the way back, Zhao Zijian listened to Zhongli and the farmer talking happily, and at the same time became more curious about Zhongli. As disciples of wealthy families, they generally have a sense of superiority, they look down on farmers who do the lowest farm work, and they will not walk side by side with them.
But Zhongli didn't dislike or dislike the sweaty farmer in the slightest, but the two of them chatted all the way like friends.
Who is this Zhongli, and why does he feel strange to himself?
When he was about to walk in front of Zhuangzi, the farmer said, "Second son, go back, I'm going home too." ”
"Okay, go back and eat something to cool off the heat, and take a good rest." Zhongli instructed before returning to Zhuangzi with Zhao Zijian.
After entering the door, Zhongli first asked people to serve a few glasses of ice water, and after drinking a cup of hearty drink, he said, "Cool!" ”
Zhao Zijian also took a drink unceremoniously, and the cold feeling went straight from his throat to his stomach, and the temperature of the whole person suddenly dropped. Zhao Zijian looked up at Zhong Li and said, "Brother Zhong is very capable, so that the farmers can really support you, so that they can really help you do farm work." ”
"It's just a heart-to-heart exchange, it's not a good thing." Zhongli is not a person of this era, and the education she received since she was a child is that everyone is equal, so she has no so-called class discrimination, and she does not feel that she is amazing.
Zhao Zijian listened to Zhongli's words in his heart, and casually picked up another glass of water, this time, he didn't drink it, but was thinking about Zhongli's words.
Hearts for hearts.
But some people's hearts can't be exchanged.
"Second son, the eldest son said you should come back." A guy came in to report.
"I see." Zhongli put down the cup and apologized to Zhao Zijian: "I'll go first, Brother Zhao will rest first." ”
"Go ahead." It just so happened that he also wanted to be alone and think about it.
When he came to Zhong Liyu's room, Zhong Li stared at the eldest sister and said, "What is the matter with the eldest brother looking for me?" ”
"Second brother, tell me, is that person a minister from the capital?" Zhong Liyu stared at Zhong Li with a serious face and asked.
Zhongli frowned, and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Zhong Liyu's face turned pale, and he suddenly stood up and stared at Zhong Lidao: "Since you know his identity, why do you want to get so close to him, just in case...... In case ......"
"No in case." Zhongli interrupted Zhong Liyu, "I know what I'm doing, and I'll protect everyone." And if people come to the door, if you have to avoid them, it means that you have a ghost in your heart. We open the door and see what he can find! ”
Zhong Li knew that Zhong Liyu was afraid, but there were some things that just being afraid of couldn't solve any problems.
"Big brother, don't worry." Zhongli patted Zhong Liyu on the shoulder, "You take care of your younger brothers and sisters, just leave this matter to me." ”
Zhong Liyu stared at Zhong Li's resolute eyebrows, and finally sighed, "Since you already have an idea in your heart, I won't say more." ”
"Big brother, I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, one day, I'm going to make the entire Apocalypse dare not touch me." Zhongli's tone was very flat, but the meaning he expressed was very arrogant.
Zhongli Yu stared at Zhongli in amazement, she believed that Zhongli could do it.
"Big brother will be behind you, always silently supporting you." Zhong Liyu patted Zhong Li on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of his eldest brother, Zhongli shook his head and returned to his room.
On the other side, Zhao Zijian suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the most important thing, that is, Quyuan plow!
He had followed Zhongli for so long on the mountain road today, but he didn't even see the shadow of Qu Yuan Plow.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw Zhong Li walking towards him, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are some trivial matters at home, which made Brother Zhao wait for a long time." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way." Zhao Zijian sat down again, holding the ice water and said: "When I was in the capital, I heard that there was a new thing in the border pass, called Quyuan plow, I don't know if Brother Zhong knows anything about this thing?" ”
When Zhao Yiyan wrote the recital, he only said that he had developed this kind of thing that was beneficial to the people with his own efforts, and later he found out that this Quyuan plough had a lot to do with Zhongli in front of him, so he said this for the sake of temptation.
"Of course I know, after all, I have so much land, and every inch needs a curved plow to renovate. This, thanks to General Zhao, if he hadn't researched this thing, the common people would have to suffer some more. ”
Zhao Zijian nodded hurriedly, pretending not to know the truth of the matter. "Then why don't I see the Quyuan plow now?"
"Brother Zhao doesn't know, this Quyuan plow is only used to renovate the land before the seeds are planted, and now that the seeds have been planted, the Quyuan plow will naturally not be needed."
Zhao Zijian once again received new knowledge, he never knew before, it turned out that farming also had so much knowledge.
"Then Brother Zhong's mansion has a quyuan plow, can you let me see it?"
As the minister, this is his primary purpose, and now that he has the opportunity to get to know him face-to-face, he will definitely not miss it.
For the sake of the people, Zhongli was still very happy, and said with a smile: "Then I'll ask first, if there is any land nearby that has not been ploughed, I will take you to see it when the time comes." ”
"Okay, then there will be Brother Lao Zhong." Zhao Zijian hurriedly gave up.
"You're welcome." Zhongli also gave up his hand and took a sip of ice water, feeling a little bland and tasteless. Suddenly, I missed the contents of a modern refrigerator and fruit shakes.
She thought about it for a moment, and the only fruits in the kitchen were a few sour plums and a few watermelons like crooked melons and cracked dates.
Zhongli couldn't help but sigh, if it really had to start from scratch, he didn't even have to eat any fruit now.
"Why is Brother Zhong sighing?" Zhao Zijian wondered.
"It's so barren that I don't even have fruit to eat." Zhongli's favorite foods in the past were strawberries and mangoes, but in this era, many people may not have even heard of it, let alone eaten it.
"Brother Zhong likes something, I'll have someone send it from the capital." There are always more types of fruits in the royal family than in the common people's homes.
"There's still no need to trouble Brother Zhao." She didn't want to owe Zhao Zijian a favor.
Debts are easy to repay, but human favors are difficult to repay.
"It's just a little fruit, it's not a hassle." Intuition told Zhao Zijian that she would definitely make something different, and he would benefit when the time came, so why wouldn't he do it.
……
In the afternoon, after Zhongli asked the village chief, the village chief took them to a land that was being renovated, because this land was used to grow sweet potatoes, and it could be turned over later.
When he came to the field, Zhao Zijian looked at the fast-moving Quyuan plow, and was immediately shocked.
He had always thought that Zhao Yiyan was exaggerating, but now he found that there was no exaggeration at all, it was completely true.
"This is the Quyuan plow?" Zhao Zijian stared at the tools in the hands of the farmer who was plowing.
"That's right, this is the Quyuan plow." The village chief didn't know Zhao Zijian, but seeing that Zhao Zijian was extraordinary, and he was brought by Zhongli, he explained: "Since we have Quyuan Plow, we have renovated the land a lot faster, and the renovated land is loose and scattered, which saves us a lot of trouble." ”
After all, when planting mang, the most important thing is time, and some seeds miss that time, so they are not in a hurry when planting.
The man who was plowing in front had finished plowing, and he took something from the neck of the ox, and the ox stepped aside to graze.
This piece of land is ploughed.
"That is, since the second son came, our lives have changed dramatically." The farmer looked very happy with a smile on his face.
Zhao Zijian nodded secretly, coupled with what he had just seen and heard from the farmers, his understanding of Quyuan plough was much more accurate, and he was also more curious about Zhongli, who made this kind of thing.
His deep eyes were on Zhongli with an inquiring look in his eyes.
But he kept these thoughts in his heart, and no one knew what he thought.
"Zhao Gongzi, did you see it?" Zhongli sent the farmer away and turned to look at Zhao Zijian.
"I saw it, I didn't expect this little curved plow to have such a big effect." Zhao Zijian sighed.
"It's a small step to change, a big step forward, sometimes it's that simple." Zhongli said with a smile.
……
Walking to the fork in the road, Zhao Zijian said goodbye to Zhongli and walked towards his own yard, living in someone else's house, some things are always inconvenient.
And Zhao Yiyan saw everything that happened at Zhong Li's house and was anxious in his heart.
said that he was afraid that Zhongli would expose the incident, but Zhongli hid it more tightly than him, which made Zhao Yiyan only anxious.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yiyan was ready to find something for Zhongli to do, so that she wouldn't have so much time to travel with Zhao Zijian.
At this time, the old housekeeper walked in, and Zhao Yiyan asked, "By the way, how are the preparations for the orphanage?" ”
"We have already chosen an address, and we are currently procuring the beds that the children need, and we are also preparing the clothes and bedding that the children need." The old butler hurriedly replied.
Zhao Yiyan touched his chin and said, "It's hot now, let the children move in first, and those things will be delivered later." ”
"What about the gentleman who teaches the children?" Everything else is easy to do, it's this gentleman, it's not easy to find.
After all, there are things to be done in all walks of life, and few people are willing to teach a group of orphans.
"Didn't Zhongli mention this matter, let her go." A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhao Yiyan's mouth, and he tied her up in the orphanage in the future to see if she could still run around.
