Afternoon, Yan Mansion.
Yan Shaoning paced in the front hall, anxiously waiting for something.
"Master, Master, Master has returned home."
A young man in green clothes ran in quickly and shouted.
"Great, my dad is finally back!"
Yan Shaoning walked out quickly and came to the front yard, where he saw Yan Lide just entering the house.
"Dad, you are finally back!"
After he returned to Chang'an with Uncle Fu this morning, he originally wanted to tell his father about Qu Yuuli immediately, but the old housekeeper said that his father had gone to the morning court and had not come back yet.
Yan Shaoning could only wait anxiously. Qu Yuuli belonged to Qiquge, and Qiquge had 10% of his shares. Thinking about it this way, Qu Yuuli still had a certain relationship with Yan Shaoning.
He knew that the court was trying to figure out how to do spring plowing for the people in the past few days. Although Yan Shaoning had some fantastic ideas in the past, what he made was just a joke. Now that Qu Yuuli was born, he could also help his father. Yan Shaoning couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of meritorious service.
"Ning'er, do you have something to do with dad?"
"Yes, Dad, there is something very important. Come to the study with your child."
... ... ... .
In the study room.
"Ning'er, tell me, what do you want from my father? I see you are in a hurry."
Yan Lide asked curiously after sitting down. Although his son did not fight cocks, walk dogs, or hang out in brothels like other dudes, he did not do his job properly and studied some strange things all day long. He really didn't know why his son was so anxious to find him today.
"Dad, have you been thinking of ways to do spring plowing near Chang'an recently?"
Yan Lide sighed: "Yes, a few days ago, your Majesty originally planned to bring in a group of cattle from the vicinity of Bingzhou and send them to Chang'an to solve the urgent need. But today, there was an urgent report that there was a group of bandits in Bingzhou, and they robbed Cattle prepared by the imperial court.
Your Majesty was furious, but the top priority was not to exterminate the bandits, but to find a way to solve the spring plowing problem of some farmers. After the morning court, His Majesty left the Prime Minister, Wei Shangshu and Weifu and other important ministers to discuss the matter, so Weifu came back at this time. Ning'er, when did you become interested in court matters? "
Yan Shaoning smiled and said, "Dad, I already have a solution to the spring plowing problem."
"What? Ning'er, it's a serious matter, no joke."
Yan Lide's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
Seeing that his father didn't believe it, Yan Shaoning told Yan Lide everything about the invention of Quyuanli and the effects of Quyuanli plowing that he saw with his own eyes when he went to Hanjiazhuang today.
After Yan Lide heard this, he stood up in shock and murmured to himself:
"There is a divine plow coming into the world. God has blessed us in the Tang Dynasty! My father still underestimated that Li Zexuan. Ning'er, you have done a great favor to the court this time. My father will report to His Majesty tomorrow and ask for credit for you. "
... ... ... ... ..
On the second day, at dawn, there were already a dozen farmers in linen and coarse cloth on the small road outside Chang'an City, rushing towards Chang'an City.
"Hey, isn't this brother-in-law? Why are you so early today?"
A young man with a sharp camera saw that the man in front of him looked familiar. He quickly speeded up to catch up and found that it was his brother-in-law, so he said hello.
"Hey? It turns out Xiaodong, I heard from people in the past two days that the price of eggs in Chang'an City has increased. Didn't your sister ask me to get up early today, bring over the eggs from home and sell them, so that I can buy a new one for my husband later? New clothes."
The man was carrying a basket, and when he saw it was his brother-in-law, he answered.
The young man with a sharp camera is Han Xiaodong from Hanjiazhuang. Today, he was picked up by his father early in the morning and asked to go to Qiquge to buy a Quyuan plow. His sister married to Meicun a few years ago, and this man’s name was exactly him. My brother-in-law's name is Mei Jun, but he is tall and thick-set and not handsome at all.
Usually the relationship between the two families is relatively good, and they move around frequently.
"Well, I've heard about this too. It's said that eggs in Chang'an City are sold for five cents each. Haha, my sister is still as smart as before."
"Hey." The man scratched his head in embarrassment. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something and asked:
"Xiaodong, why are you so early today?"
"Uh." Han Xiaodong was hesitant. He had seen the efficiency and flexibility of Qu Yuli with his own eyes. Even if he hadn't read a book, he knew that if everyone knew about Qu Yuli, the people in Hanjiazhuang would definitely not be able to buy it.
However, his brother-in-law's family was usually very good to him. Han Xiaodong scratched his head and hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision and whispered:
"Brother-in-law, come here. I'm going to tell you something. You must not tell anyone else. Do you understand?"
Seeing what his brother-in-law said was so mysterious, Mei Jun couldn't help but become curious. He patted his chest and promised: "Xiaodong, who in these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know that your brother-in-law and I have the tightest mouth, so you can rest assured."
Han Xiaodong was quite speechless when he heard his brother-in-law bragging. At this moment, he thought that his brother-in-law had a nickname called Mei Dazui, and he couldn't help but regret it, but the words had already been spoken, and it was already too late. Making up other excuses, Han Xiaodong could only say:
"Brother-in-law, you must not say anything nonsense this time about what I told you, otherwise I will ask my sister to make you kneel on the washboard. I came to Chang'an today to buy a Qu Yuanli from Qiquge Pavilion in Dongshi , let me tell you, this Quyuan plow is really awesome, and the plowing speed can be increased by at least three times.
Yesterday, my young master personally brought a batch of curved shaft plows to our village for testing. The speed of plowing the land was so fast that everyone in our village saw it with our own eyes. My young master also said that this Quyuanli will be sold at Qiquge today, and it will only cost 170 Wen. Almost all of us in Zhuangzi will come to buy it today.
We don’t know about other Zhuangzi yet, but we can definitely buy it. Brother-in-law, if you want to buy one, you can buy one, but you must not tell other people. Otherwise, our Zhuangzi people will know that it was me who told the story, and they will be beaten. Damn me, you can't trap me. "
When Mei Jun heard that Qu Yuuli was so awesome, he couldn't help crying. He secretly made up his mind to buy one after selling eggs today. His mother-in-law would definitely praise him for his wit when he got back.
When he heard his brother-in-law asking him to keep it secret, he quickly raised his hands and swore:
"Xiaodong, don't worry. Brother-in-law, I will definitely not tell you anything to harm you. Thank you for telling me this. My land will not miss the spring plowing at last. Your sister and I finally don't love you in vain." !”
Han Xiaodong worriedly asked again: "Well, brother-in-law, you must remember not to tell anyone, otherwise my sister will punish you by kneeling on the washboard."
... ... ...
Han Xiaodong's thinking was a bit simple. Among the bankers in Hanjiazhuang, if any banker did not have relatives in other villages, even if he did not tell them, many bankers would secretly notify their relatives. An undercurrent is gradually surging and is about to sweep through the Qiqi Pavilion. The name of Shenli will soon be famous all over the world.
