Chapter 43: The Plough (2)

Getting along with Lin Banxia for half a day and talking about the way of arithmetic, Shen Cheng had unconsciously ignored Lin Banxia's identity as a woman.

Xia Changyan's inquiry suddenly reminded him, and these words blurted out, but they were more like thoughtful thoughts.

Zhou Sheng said disapprovingly: "I don't agree with Mr. Shen's words. What is the meaning of nurturing and buriing?

In my opinion, staying by His Royal Highness's side can allow Lin Xiangjun to better display his talents. ”

Zhou Sheng looked at Xia Changyan: "Your Highness, Lin Xiangjun was born in the countryside and has no background, but he can judge the situation.

On that day, the courage to give up the tofu production method was not something ordinary people could do.

After having a relationship with His Highness, he was able to seize the opportunity and immediately seize His Highness's sight by refining white sugar.

With this move, it is enough to see Lin Xiangjun's scheming.

Whether it is sugar or soybean oil, they are all hugely profitable, and if you hold them in your hands, you can get rich.

Your Highness, Lin Xiangjun is like this, it can be said that his own interests and His Highness's interests are tied together.

A female streamer, with no background, Lin Xiangjun's picture is obvious.

According to the minister's opinion, His Royal Highness can put it in the backyard, and in the future, Lin Xiangjun will definitely help His Royal Highness and help His Royal Highness. ”

Xia Changyan pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard two gentle knocks on the door, and the housekeeper whispered outside:

"Your Highness, Lin Xiangjun asked for some wood, and it seems that he is making a rake."

Xia Changyan said, "Got it." ”

Shen Cheng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Xia Changyan: "Your Highness, when the minister discussed soybean oil squeezing with Lin Xiangjun before, Lin Xiangjun once said that the area of cultivated land would be increased.

Could it be that Lin Xiangjun has an idea again? ”

Xia Changyan stood up: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Far away from the small courtyard where Lin Banxia temporarily lived, he heard the sound of tapping.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard the heat in it, and from time to time there was a sound pause for a moment, just a few short exchanges.

"Brother Lin, I think this ploughshare is best made of iron, it is sharper and more durable than wood, and it can be easier to plow the ground."

"Yes, the cow pulls the pear more deliciously."

Xia Changyan walked into the small courtyard and saw some wood on the side of the small courtyard, and the three of them surrounded a slightly strange-looking rake in the middle.

Lin Banxia sat on the steps in front of the room, leaning on the railing, looking at each other, she stood up with a slight smile.

"Your Highness."

As soon as His Royal Highness's two words came out, the three people in the middle of the courtyard knelt down for two, and Lin Yi stood in the middle slightly dazed.

Xia Changyan smiled slightly and said, "Get up." ”

Then he said: "I heard the excitement here from afar, this is ......"

The two carpenters trembled and didn't dare to reply, Lin Yi was not good at words, and pointed to the plow rake for a long time before saying, "Be a plow." ”

Zhou Sheng stepped forward to look down, touched it again, turned his head to Xia Changyan and said, "Your Highness, this plow is not the same as the current rake. ”

Xia Changyan raised his eyes to look at Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia raised his hand and gestured to the blackboard on the corridor: "After talking with Mr. Shen in the morning, I have some understanding. ”

Lanterns are also hung on both sides of the blackboard, reflecting the traces of several sketches and revisions on the blackboard, showing that the person who drew the drawing also racked his brains.

Zhou Sheng was born in the countryside, used to work, and was very familiar with the plow, but as soon as he saw this figure, he immediately took a few steps forward, eager to jump into the corridor.

"This, the plough wheel is bent and shortened, the plough body is much lighter, the ploughshare is sinking, and the shaft is added, which is also more flexible."

Zhou Sheng turned around and walked back as he spoke, pointing to the things in the courtyard that had not yet taken shape, and his tone was slightly excited: "Your Highness, the shape of this rake has changed a lot......

Xia Changyan only listened to these few words, and he understood the meaning, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Banxia again.

Seeing that Lin Banxia's gaze also followed Zhou Sheng's gaze, his eyes were facing each other, and he immediately dodged away.

He nodded and asked, "How long is it going to be done?" ”

But in his heart, he thought that he would hide from himself and make another style of plow and rake to please him.

One of the carpenters hurriedly bowed and said, "If it is all wooden, it will take half an hour." ”

Xia Changyan nodded, "You go on." ”

The two carpenters hurried on, not daring to mention the iron ploughshares, and immediately the sound of sawing wood sounded again in the yard.

Zhou Sheng was happy when he saw the hunt, and he couldn't move his footsteps, so he also followed the comparison.

There was a noise in the yard.

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's go in and sit and wait." ”

Lin Banxia suddenly invited and hurriedly invited: "Your Highness, Mr. Shen, please come in." ”

Xia Changyan bypassed the busy people in the courtyard and walked up the steps, and the maid hurriedly opened the curtain.

When I entered the living room, I lowered the curtains, and the noise was a little weaker, but it seemed that every time I opened my mouth, there would be a ding-dong sound outside.

Shen Cheng almost wanted to speak, but he was interrupted, so he had to take a sip of the teacup with a smile.

The sound of ding-dong outside died out just then, and there was a faint sound of conversation.

For a while, the three people sitting in the room couldn't even find a topic.

Lin Banxia didn't know what to say.

Every time I face Xia Changyan, it seems that there is nothing to say except to talk about some ideals and ambitions.

But with Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhou, I can still talk together.

Xia Changyan also took a sip of tea.

When Lin Banxia and Shen Cheng were facing each other, they talked eloquently, and when he was there, he didn't say a word.

His expression sank more and more, and the room was frighteningly dull compared to the communication outside.

Fortunately, there was a sudden sound of banging outside, and the silence in the room made sense.

Little Stone and Little Angelica suddenly laughed and ran in from behind, and when they saw several people in the room, they immediately stopped.

Xiao Shi said timidly: "Brother Wangye." ”

All three people in the room laughed.

"Stone, angelica, come here." Lin Banxia beckoned, "I want to call His Royal Highness, Uncle Shen." ”

Shi immediately shouted in a decent manner: "Your Royal Highness, Uncle Shen is good." ”

Little Angelica also learned to shout.

Shen Cheng smiled: "This is the little young master and the little young lady." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took out his purse from his arms, and took out two golden beans: "Come, take it and play with it." ”

Xiao Shi and Xiao Angelica have both been educated, and they both put their hands behind their backs at the moment and turned their heads to look at Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shen." ”

Xiao Shi and Xiao Angelica immediately shouted happily, "Thank you, Uncle Shen", took the golden bean, and turned around to stuff it into Lin Banxia's hand.

Lin Banxia smiled and touched the heads of the two people: "Give it to my mother, let my mother help you keep it." ”

The two children ran into the back hall with a puff of smoke.

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "The little master and the little lady are so cute. ”

He asked again, "Can you enter the academy?" ”

Lin Banxia shook his head and smiled: "Not yet." I still thought about whether to invite a gentleman to the village after the New Year, or to find a gentleman in the county for the stone. ”

Shen Cheng looked at Xia Changyan: "Lord Wang, the little young master is innocent, and it is the best time for enlightenment."

I heard that there is a Confucian who has returned to his hometown in the county, and he has nothing to do, and he wants to accept a few students to teach and relieve his boredom.

How about sending the little master and the little lady over? ”
