- Chapter 771: [Expert]
¡¡
Butler Zhou is an expert in farming.
He is very good at what kind of crops can be grown and eaten.
The corn went into his mouth and he chewed it for a long time, and he ate out all the starch contained in the corn kernels.
Ma Zhangshi, Fatty Zhu and the others are different from Uncle Zhou. They knew Li Chengqian's identity, so when Li Chengqian asked him to plant corn, they didn't dare to object and just planted it. The prince asked them to plant stones, and they might not make a different sound.
But Uncle Zhou is different. He doesn¡¯t know Li Chengqian¡¯s identity, so he will evaluate the corn and judge its planting value.
The value of this kind of planting is whether you can eat enough!
"Okay, this is a good crop. Planting it will fill your stomach!" He laughed happily.
He reached out and took the half bag of corn kernels from Li Chengqian's hand. It seemed that there were too few seeds, and he said: "After these are planted, the second season's corn kernels will only be used as seeds after they come out, otherwise there will not be enough seeds!"
"Well, just look at the seeds and you'll be able to eat them by this time tomorrow!" Li Chengqian nodded.
When Uncle Zhou heard that Li Chengqian was kind-hearted, he smiled gratefully.
He turned around and looked at the corner next to the courtyard door. There used to be a toilet there. Now there is a new toilet and it is no longer in use. He saw a small open space there was good, so he walked over and shoveled the soil with a hoe. Then he skillfully planted the corn kernels evenly.
After planting, he scooped half a bucket of water from the original toilet pit and poured it on it. Then he clapped his hands and pulled Li Chengqian back.
Li Chengqian has seen Ma Zhangshi and Fatty Zhu¡¯s grand ceremony. Now that I see Uncle Zhou doing something as simple as this, I can't help but feel a little dazed.
But that¡¯s right. Corn is not a delicate thing, you can grow any kind and survive. If it were really grand, it would look childish.
"Master Li, I heard that you want to improve the plow?" Uncle Zhou asked Li Chengqian.
"Uncle Zhou didn't say anything about this, and Li Chengqian almost forgot about it.
He smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes."
Then he told Uncle Zhou about the shortcomings of the current plow, as well as his ideas for improving the new functions of the plow.
Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, "All the soil plowed out went to one side. Don't you need another person to remove the soil?"
"Yes." Li Chengqian nodded.
Uncle Zhou said with some excitement: "This is great. If we can do this, it will save a lot of trouble and effort!"
He turned around and asked Li Chengqian: "Has it been invented yet?"
When asked about this, Li Chengqian felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to invent the plow, but for two or three days in a row, he was interrupted by other more important things, so he never focused on the plow. Now when asked by Uncle Zhou, he realized that his shouting was a little louder than the thunder.
But Li Chengqian would not tell the truth to Uncle Zhou.
He said: "This is too complicated. I haven't thought of a feasible solution yet, so I still need to think about it."
??This means that Li Chengqian has been conceiving of a new plow day and night and has not yet invented it.
So Uncle Zhou was moved and said to Li Chengqian: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Li. The others didn't think of it. But you did. But I'm afraid it's hard to think of this thing. If it were easy to think of it, someone would have thought of it long ago. Master Li, please take your time." Point. If you can¡¯t think of it, don¡¯t think about it. Anyway, people have been using this plow for generations, so don¡¯t think about the new plow.¡±
"Oh. I'll keep thinking about it. If I can think of this thing, it's better. If I can't think of it, just keep it as it is. Haha" He suddenly thought of a word, "I'm lucky to get it, but it won't kill me."
Uncle Zhou paused again, looked at Li Chengqian, and asked, "Master Li also believes in Buddhism?"
Regarding Uncle Zhou¡¯s nonsense, Li Chengqian asked in confusion: ¡°Uh, why did Uncle Zhou say that?¡±
"I am lucky to have this sentence, but I am not going to die. It is like what those monks are saying. They say such words that are full of Zen principles!" Uncle Zhou said with emotion, "Not long ago, there was often a great monk here, always talking to the people around him. Reciting these Buddhist sutras sounds quite satisfying, and only the elderly can understand them. It¡¯s just that the great monk is no longer here recently. I don¡¯t know where he went.¡±
Listening to the words "big monk" in his mouth, Li Chengqian guessed that it must be the tall monk Master Zhu.
But it was unexpected that such a mantra was listened to by Uncle Zhou as Buddhist doctrine.
But yes, this sentence is full of philosophy of life, and many of the best Buddhist scriptures are also full of philosophy of life.
"Just talking nonsense,"?Believe in Buddhism. "Li Chengqian waved his hand.
Uncle Zhou also laughed and said: "The plow you are talking about, I, an old man, often walk in the fields, and I will help you think about it, maybe I can figure it out!"
"Ha, when Uncle Zhou remembers it, it was Uncle Zhou who invented it. Then I would like to congratulate Uncle Zhou for inventing this treasure for the peasant brothers of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Chengqian laughed.
Uncle Zhou was stunned after hearing this, "Haha, I only thought of using it for Wangjiazhuang. I didn't expect Master Li to have such a broad mind. I feel so guilty! Okay, if I think of it later, I will use it for farmers all over the world!"
Li Chengqian and Uncle Zhou said they were addicted and said, "Okay, let's see who can figure it out first."
Corn was also planted for them, and with this bet, Li Chengqian no longer stayed here. He waved to him and then left.
Not long after Li Chengqian left, Gui E walked out secretly.
She just saw Li Chengqian coming and quickly hid in the courtyard gate. She didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing outside.
Now I pretended not to care. After asking Uncle Zhou, I found out that he was here to deliver corn kernels.
I originally wanted to know what corn is, but I heard from Uncle Zhou that it had been planted and watered with manure, so Gui E didn¡¯t know how to get it out.
She asked casually again and found out that Li Chengqian also talked about improving the plow.
"Is it lucky that I got it but my life?" Gui E was stunned when she heard this.
Uncle Zhou sighed with emotion: "Yes, a person at such a young age can speak such great truths. He is really a capable person!"
"But Gui'e has pinned this matter on her. Is he saying that he is lucky to get her, and it is his fate to not get her? Does this mean that he has given up on Gui'e and no longer cares?
Thinking of this, her nose felt sour!
No wonder, these two times I came here, I didn¡¯t come in to see her, as if she didn¡¯t exist.
"Madam?" Uncle Zhou was stunned and asked doubtfully.
Gui'e didn't answer Uncle Zhou, and she was afraid that Uncle Zhou would see her lose her temper, so she turned her head and walked back and said, "It's okay, I got sand in my eyes, go in and wash them out."
Uncle Zhou touched the back of his head, how could he not shed tears when there was sand in his eyes? How can you say that there is sand in it without shedding tears?
It¡¯s so strange.
Speaking of Li Chengqian, after he returned to Huangzhuang, he somewhat thought about the renovation of the plow.
But he was quickly distracted by other things.
The data from Xiao Chen came out. As soon as he heard that the data came out, he could go to the queen to borrow money, so he hurriedly entered the palace.
Xiao Chen was already waiting for him with a stack of paper.
There are various data that Xiao Chen has analyzed, as well as some contracts that I have prepared in advance.
Listening to Xiao Chen talking about various data, after analyzing these data, it was found that selling coal mines or anything else was not in the interests of Li Chengqian's family. He temporarily sold the perfume agency rights of a city to the queen, and then redeemed them after a year. It's cost-effective.
So Xiao Chen took out the agency rights for three other medium-sized cities and asked Li Chengqian to talk to the queen. The contracts here are all ready. Li Chengqian can take it over and it will be done as long as the queen nods.
Xiao Chen also reminded that after the money is borrowed, as soon as the queen signs it, she can talk about the Cui family's affairs.
The queen must want the Cui family and others to join her. Don't be too slow on Li Chengqian's part. The queen took the initiative to find the Cui family, and Li Chengqian had nothing to worry about.
Li Chengqian felt it made sense and nodded.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you want to talk about the Cui family, you have to take the things Cui Yi gave you.
But when Li Chengqian took Xiao Chen¡¯s box, he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
Yes, the golden vertebra symbolizes Cui Yi's status in maritime trade, but this golden vertebra is corn. Li Chengqian had already removed the kernels and planted them, and now it has become a corn cob.
Just go to the Queen with a corn cob?
The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s mouth twitched!
" Xiao Chen didn't know that Li Chengqian had made this important token like this, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
When asked how corn turned into a bachelor, Li Chengqian told what he had done.
For a moment, Xiao Chen was dumbfounded.
Can¡¯t you wait until you show it to the queen before planting it?
But things are already like this. Xiao Chen can just ask Li Chengqian to take it like this and show it to the queen.
Li Chengqian nodded awkwardly.
Went to the Queen¡¯s Zhengzheng Hall, but saw that the queen was so late that it was almost noon, and she was still practicing Tai Chi.
This is what the Queen has been practicing every day since Li Chengqian promoted Tai Chi to Yuan Tiangang. But why are you practicing so late today?
"Mother, why are you still practicing Tai Chi so late?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
The queen did not stop moving, but she had the words to answer Li Chengqian, saying: "I got up late, but I can't give up on exercise."
"You're up so late?" Li Chengqian was stunned. He had already gone out and walked around the palace.
The queen's face turned red.
This expression is so strange. Li Chengqian remembered that Lao Li seemed to be in a bad mood when he went to court today, right? He guessed something, but immediately didn't dare to guess anymore.
Li Chengqian thought of business and said, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you."
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy. She guessed that Li Chengqian had something to do with the ship. I'm afraid he had thought of other ways.
It seems that it¡¯s really good to push it. I¡¯ve been forced to come up with several ideas.
Li Chengqian used various witty words and told him about using part of the city agency rights for perfume in exchange for money with the queen. The queen listened while doing Tai Chi. When she heard the end, her eyes lit up secretly.
