The Gu family was stunned.

I can't believe my ears.

Until Gu Dagen was stunned and said, "Dad, this person seems to be really looking for our family." ”

Sanshu, isn't that his father's name?

Gu Zhang's little head looked left and right, but no one went to open the door?

That's money!

Forget it, this family still depends on him after all!

"I'll open the door." Gu Zhang put down the wooden stick in his hand and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard.

He really didn't want to make money with this!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have charged only one or two pieces of silver each.

Unexpectedly, someone really saw the value of this drawing, and it looked quite characterful.

After all, if your heart is a little darker, you won't buy drawings, just buy one and take it back and take it apart.

In these days, there is no wood craft that cannot be imitated.

Sure enough, in a good world, there are many kind people, and he feels that he really loves this beautiful world of green mountains and green waters, and the fragrance of wheat fields.

"It's coming!" Gu Zhang pulled out the deadbolt and opened the courtyard door.

At the door was an old man with pale sideburns, with a warm smile on his face, looking amiable.

Next to him stood a tall and sturdy man with a serious Chinese face.

"Little friend, did you come up with the keel car?" The old man's eyes swept around the courtyard, and he had a bottom in his heart.

"That's right!" Gu Zhang's chest was proud, and he was no different from a real child.

His eyes were shining, wide and round, and he looked at Yan Xianmei intently: "Grandpa, do you want to buy drawings?" ”

Being looked at by such a pair of innocent and expectant eyes, especially in the face of this cute little face that was not quite the same as that of a peasant child, the old man could not say anything else to refuse.

"Yes, I'll buy drawings from your house."

Gu Zhang smiled brightly: "Come in and rest and drink saliva." ”

Old Man Gu and the Wang family didn't know where to put their hands and feet, for fear that if they said the wrong thing, the silver ticket would fly.

Qiu Niang was the first to react, quickly took the teapot, and took a few clean bamboo cups to pour tea for people to drink.

"This is tea made from honeysuckle and sweet grass picked in the mountains, and it is made of small stones, and you can't taste it anywhere else." Qiu Niang brought water to the two guests.

Gu Dagen took the teapot in Qiu Niang's hand and put it down, sat down with a golden knife, and picked up the stoneware bowl to drink tea.

The head of the family was full of momentum, if it weren't for the fact that he started drinking water and not talking from sitting down.

Seeing this, Qiu Niang was also much more relieved, she went straight to the point and asked, "How much silver does this old man plan to pay for this drawing?" ”

To be honest, Qiu Niang also has a little drum in her heart, she has never talked about such a big business.

Gu Zhang sat next to him, his calves dangling back and forth freely in the air, watching the invisible tacit understanding between his father and mother.

Yan Xianmei didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at Gu Zhang with interest: "Your name is Xiaoshi?" I heard that this keel cart that carries water from the river was originally a toy made by you? ”

Gu Zhang blinked innocently.

Who is so caring, and made up such a good reason for him.

Suddenly he was not so conspicuous.

He didn't admit it, he didn't deny it, but sat in his chair, tilted his head and asked, "No matter what I wanted to do when I first made it, now it's a farm tool that can help many people carry water for watering." ”

Yan Xianmei's eyes flashed with appreciation, he hadn't seen such a clever child for a long time.

"You can't buy it cheaply because you don't like it and can be used as a toy, and you can carry water and play with it, you should add money." Gu Zhang nodded solemnly, "In this way, my mother will give me more money to spend." ”

When Yan Xianmei heard this, she immediately laughed: "Hahaha, it makes sense!" ”

I'm still a child, thinking about the spending of a few pennies in my hand, I guess I'm thinking about buying snacks to eat, right?

Yan Xianmei didn't beat around the bush, and took out a silver ticket from her cuffs: "This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels of Tonghui Qianzhuang." ”

Qiu Niang's breathing was slightly short.

Gu Dagen almost broke the cup in his hand.

I was about to say yes.

Gu Zhang interjected: "If we sell it to you, can we still make it ourselves and use it?" ”

Yan Xianmei nodded: "Of course you can, I bought this drawing just to make it available to more people, Xuanchao is a vast land, I am afraid you don't know how many people in many places suffer from drawing water." ”

It turned out that he was not a businessman who bought and sold to make money.

Gu Zhang's original intention to talk about the price also stopped.

Let Qiu Niang and Gu Dagen happily accept the price of one hundred taels.

Gu Zhang also specially opened the exchange interface and looked at it, there were a lot of farm tools in it, he didn't know if there were these in this era, but Yonghe Village didn't have them.

It's unrealistic to keep taking it out, and there is a way to make quick money when you are short of money in the future.

After leaving the Gu family.

Yan Xianmei looked at the drawings, her eyes were full of complexity, and she was full of emotion: "If there was this back then, the people of Jingmen County would not have suffered from the three-year famine. ”

"You've done a lot, if it weren't for you opening a warehouse to release grain and running around, I don't know how many people would have starved to death back then." The entourage with the face of the national character said seriously.

Yan Xianmei shook her head and handed him the drawings: "Wait for me to repair the book, Jiang Wu, you will send the drawings to the capital." ”

Jiang Wu took the drawings and asked, "Do you need to find a reliable carpenter to make one?" ”

Yan Xianmei stroked her white beard, Gu Zhang's sparkling eyes appeared in her mind, and said with a smile: "Make a small toy model and offer it together." ”

***

Because of the keel car, the Gu family's status and reputation in the village have become a little different.

Gu Zhang carried a bookbag on his back and walked from the village school to his home, and was stuffed with a fruit halfway.

"Come, little stone, eat a prickly pear, my aunt just picked it from the mountains."

Gu Zhang smiled and hugged his hands: "Thank you, Aunt Li." ”

Puff pear is sweet and sour, and it is a rare delicacy in this season.

These days, the little radish heads play less games, and they want to go all over the mountains to find this thing to eat.

"Aunt Li, I heard that Brother Erdonkey found a job to help move trees last year, and bought you a piece of clothing, this is the one you are wearing, right?"

The aunt suddenly smiled: "That's not it, my second donkey is capable and filial, I'll tell you......"

Some people talk about gossip, and they don't stop, and obviously Aunt Li is the same.

Gu Zhang held the prickly pear, took small bites, and listened to the gossip and news in his ear.

After walking for a long time, Aunt Li parted ways with Gu Zhang because she had to work.

Gu Zhang lowered his eyes and pondered.

Recently, he used a similar method to inquire about the situation with the people in the village, and basically confirmed his previous speculation.

"Little stone, what are you frowning at a young age?" Qiu Niang carried a large basin of clothes and strode over from behind.

"I didn't think about anything, why is my mother so happy to wash clothes?" Gu Zhang changed the subject.

Qiu Niang fixed the basin around her waist with her arm, pinched the soft flesh on Gu Zhang's face with one hand, and said with satisfaction: "Of course, because I am happy, I praise you for your intelligence and envy my mother." ”

Gu Zhang had never been to the river where he was washing clothes, and when he heard Qiu Niang say this, he immediately made up the picture of a group of women from the same village chatting and washing clothes by the river.

No wonder it turns out that every time she comes back from washing, Qiu Niang has a serious expression and walks with a murderous look.

It seems that the keel cart has other uses besides watering the wheat.

Gu Zhang felt sorry for Qiu Niang's original anger, and stuck to the arm that hugged Qiu Niang: "That Ming'er Xiaoshi will accompany her mother to wash clothes, and she will definitely be happier if everyone envies her mother." ”

Qiu Niang suddenly laughed and nodded his forehead: "You are so good that you are studying, my mother is happier than anything else." ”

"Did you do your homework today?" Qiu Niang asked.

"Let's go!"

When he got home, Gu Zhang ran into the house with his schoolbag on his back and sat down at the small desk in front of the window.

He picked up pen and paper.

The system wants to publish tasks in a seamless manner.

But I saw that his pen was not the content of the imperial examination at all, but about cutting down trees.

The system watched, and his eyes slowly widened.

I saw that several data charts were drawn on the paper according to the rainfall over the years, especially the line chart was the most intuitive.

It is also written on the paper that the roots of the lush woods and many plants can hold the flowing water above and below the ground, and through the root system to the trunks, branches, leaves, and finally to the air, so that the air is fresh and moisturized, not dry and scorching like the desert.

The system stared blankly, watching the host sprinkle from the trees to the land, from the water to the harvest, from the soil to the climate......

In the end, it is summarized in a central idea: the forest of trees and vegetation controls the water in the vicinity, it keeps the rivers and streams from drying up, the fields do not lose water, and the climate and rainfall are stable.

The system secretly flipped through the strategies to be tested in the imperial examination in the future mission, and felt that those who were not as detailed, clear, and to the point as the one written by his host.

If the host is serious about taking the imperial examination, it will think it must be great!

There was a little worship in the system's tone: "It's amazing, how can you do this, host?" ”

Gu Zhang's hand holding the pen paused for a moment: "Isn't this just a glance?" ”

He won't say that this is the gossip that he heard from plants complaining about humans.

The system puffed up: "Hmph, I don't believe it!" ”

How is it not possible to see it at a glance? It must be the big liar Zhang fooling it again!

It is absolutely not going to be deceived again!

Gu Zhang silently folded the paper, and the scorn he had heard from a thousand-year-old tree came to his mind.

- "Humans are so stupid, they can increase our income by slashing us, and we don't even know that disaster is coming." ”

Now it seems, it really is.

Gu Zhang put the letter away, put it in his arms, and planned to send it to the county office.

"Is the little stone alright? It's time to go. Gu Dagen's excited voice came from the courtyard.

"It's coming!" Gu Zhang immediately left the sadness of his previous life behind him and ran out.

The grain-filling period of wheat is finally over, and the period from the end of the grain-filling period to the harvest does not need to be watered, and the strong labor at home is finally free.

Today, their family is going to the county seat together to exchange for the silver ticket of one hundred taels!

"Mother~"

Qiu Niang felt bad, she subconsciously covered her purse.
