Chapter one hundred and sixty-eight things broke out, He Jinrong's disaster(1/3)
On the other side of Pingzitan, I dug up the medicinal materials and cleaned them. After drying, I rented four or five ox carts and crossed the medicinal materials to Xinglin Pavilion in Beijing.
Halfway through, he was blocked. The village chief stretched his neck and looked at the long queue of carriages and ox carriages not far away. He could not see at first sight. When the medicinal materials were pulled into the capital, he would probably be black!
"Strange, what happened to Zhuangzi ahead? Why are there so many people watching?" The village chief got out of the ox cart, walked into the crowd, and inquired about the situation.
Someone replied, "Don't you know yet? I'll build a tube truck. With this tube truck, it will benefit us ordinary people. Let's see if the tube truck is as exaggerated as they are. You can irrigate dozens of acres of land. You must know that our water truck is only one or two or three acres, and it's a fantasy! After seeing the tube truck, I was so shocked that I really had this magical tool! I'm sure that I'm the second one. Studying is more than the inspiration for us to do cool work."
"I heard that the emperor was interested in the talent of the second prize and Xue Zhuangyuan, and it was difficult to make a choice between the two of them. Then they invited the two into the palace and asked them to ask questions on the spot to decide the candidate for the first prize. What the emperor valued most was the second prize. Maybe he was not as good as Xue Zhuangyuan on the spot. It was a pity that he was able to build this car, which shows his talent."
"There must be his outstanding performance in the ability of Xue Zhuangyuan to win the top scorer. We cannot speculate." The village chief has seen Xue Shenzhi. His conversation is extraordinary, and it was chosen by the emperor. "The emperor attaches great importance to the second place and finally abandons the second place. Ming Xue Zhuangyuan is even better than him! If he is not powerful, how can you change your mind?"
He tiptoed, looked at the trolley in the distance, and curled his lips and said, "What's the point of only a few dozen acres of land? Miss Shang, the trolley she and Xue Zhuangyuan want to build can be operated day and night, and can irrigate hundreds of acres!"
Others burst into laughter and said disdainfully: "Who can't tell you a big talk? Hundreds of acres? They built the trolley?"
Someone patted the village chief on the shoulder and sneered: "Do less and more, the most honest person is the one who is the one who is the most honest. He Longyan made the trolley without saying a word, and Xue Zhuangyuan braided it out, and now he can't see anything. We don't want the hundreds of acres of trolleys, but we are satisfied with these dozens of acres!"
"That's right, it's enough to have these dozens of acres of water trucks. Our family can only have more than ten acres of land at most, and it's a waste of more!"
The village chief was very angry, his face turned blue and pale, and he was still thinking, but his son was grabbed by him.
"Dad, how could these people know how good they are if they don't know Xue Zhuangyuan and Miss Shang? If you help them, you will let these people beat Xue Zhuangyuan and Miss Shang. Committing to build a trolley can benefit them. In their eyes, the best people are the best people." Fu Wen advised the village chief.
The village chief was so arrogant that in his heart, Xue Zhuangyuan and Shang Zhi were beyond his reach. If others belittle them, he would naturally be unhappy.
Someone sarcastically said, "Uncle, look, your son is still sensible. At such a big age, why are you joining in the fun?"
Fu Wen became angry, "Isn't it just a car, bragging! You like to hold the second place to congratulate him, why should you pull Xue Zhuangyuan to make tiptoe for him? Don't forget that the typhoid, flower, and cholera medicine developed by Miss Shang. You are so capable. If you are sick, don't take the medicine made by Miss Shang!"
A word made everyone speechless.
He Jinrong happened to bring Shutong over. When he heard Fu Wen's words, he said gentle and gentle: "This brother is right. Everyone has his own strengths and cannot compare others with me. Brother Xue is very talented, and his knowledge impressed me. I dare not take credit for this trolley. It was a coincidence that I picked up a drawing with only a big wheel on it. After seeing it, I felt it was very exquisite. I didn't close my eyes for half a month, so I improved the trolley. I believe that if I gave the drawing to Brother Xue, he would definitely be able to make it, but I am lucky than him."
He Jinrong is not a stupid person, he is very cautious. After all, he was not made by him. If there are some places that are not good at curbing and causing trouble, and the matter will break out, he will have to be charged with plagiarism. In serious cases, he is afraid that his fame and fortune will be deprived!
Just in case, he decided that the drawings were picked up, and he improved the sink and engineering behind it, so the credit was still on him.
He would arrange people to guide rumors, so that everyone would think that someone could not make a cart, so he had to give up throwing away the cart drawings, so that he would be cheaper.
Even if Xue Shenzhi creates it in the future, it will be too late to stand up and expose him.
He Jinrong's attitude became more friendly, "Old man, if you have any questions about me, you can raise it."
The villagers in Pingzitan are very simple, one by one, two by two, and are straightforward and cheerful. Hearing this, he asked directly: "Did you pick up this drawing?"
He Jinrong tightened his fingers and smiled unchanged: "Is there any problem?"
The village chief shook his head, "No cherry blossoms for the time being"
The smile on He Jinrong's face stopped for a moment, and then he saw the village chief leaving with Fu Wen.
Fu Wen asked his father, "Dad, why are you asking about the drawings? Is there something wrong with the drawings?"
The village chief sighed, "He picked up his drawings. After I heard that Miss Shang looked at our hand-cranked water truck, I wanted to make a tube truck. I guess if this drawing was missing."
"We wrote a letter to ask Miss Shang, if it wasn't, it would be fine. It was abandoned by them, and Miss Shang also had a clear idea." After Fu Wen's words, they immediately received the approval of the village chief. They took the medicinal materials to Xinglin Pavilion and then went to Huimin Medical Center to find Manager Liu.
After hearing their words, Manager Liu did not take it to heart even though he had an unhappy relationship with Shang Zhi before. He immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the station.
On the other side, He Jinrong's name is named Shengjing.
Mr. Luo, the Minister of Works, presented the drawings of the trolley made by He Jinrong to Emperor Jin of Yuan. "Emperor, I went to the farm and saw that the amount of water drawn by the trolley is shocking, which is more than ten times that of the hand-cranked water truck. If there is this trolley, it will be a major breakthrough for our agriculture. I suggest that the emperor go to inspect it personally and know that what I say is not false."
Emperor Jin of Yuan looked at the drawings and felt that the design was exquisite, so he was a little interested, "Liu Yong, let's continue to arrange it, I will go on a private visit tomorrow."
When Lord Luo saw Emperor Yuan Jin agreeing, he was delighted, "The emperor will definitely make a good visit!"
Emperor Jin of Yuan knew that he was not a good emperor, and he neglected the government and was addicted to elixirs. Now he has swallowed the elixirs refined by the national teacher, and it is unknown how effective the medicine is, but his headache is getting better and more effective.
He then ordered the national teacher to refine an immortal pill.
He was an emperor after all. If the Great Zhou Kingdom had made major breakthroughs in the prosperous times, peace, water conservancy, agriculture, etc., it would have made him famous in history. Therefore, He Jinrong made a tube truck that could improve water conservancy. He naturally had to visit the scene and see the true face of the tube truck.
The next day, Emperor Jin of Yuan was wearing a regular suit, with eight secret guards hidden behind him. The imperial guards followed him closely and took Lord Luo to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.
He Jinrong had already received the news and went to the village with Gao Yingyue, abandoning the idle people, and waiting for Emperor Yuan Jin at the door.
Nearly noon, Emperor Jin of Yuan and his group arrived at Zhuangzi in an ordinary black-peng carriage.
He Jinrong and Gao Yingyue knelt down and saluted.
"No gift. I go to private visits in a private place, so there is no need to perform this great gift." Emperor Jin of Yuan looked up at the rotating trolley not far away, and the continuous flow of water flowed into the fields, moistening the dry land. He walked over strangely, watching the wooden wheel tied with bamboo tubes and connecting to the sink, and half of the water was poured outside the sink. If all the water flow was poured into the sink, the amount of water would be twice as much as it is now.
"How do you think about building a tube car?" Emperor Jin of Yuan turned around and looked at He Jinrong with a deep look.
He Jinrong said according to his previous words: "Reported to the emperor, this car was not the water conservancy tool that Weichen originally wanted to build. By chance, he picked up half of the drawings and saw the huge value in it. He developed it day and night, and it was built yesterday."
Emperor Jin of Yuan pointed to the excess water from the fields and flowed into the river, "Your cart can only irrigate this piece of land, and other places need to be moved, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"
"Wei Chen thought of a way to dig the fields into stairs in the past few days, with layers. In this way, water can be irrigated from top to bottom, and all the fields can be irrigated, and there is no need to worry about any omissions." He Jinrong came out his idea, hoping to get the support of Emperor Jin of Yuan. "If this is the case, we must reclaim the fields. Wei Chen suggested that the emperor issue an order to collect all the fields and register all the fields owned by each household. After the cultivation, we will divide them equally according to the fields of each household."
Emperor Jin of Yuan thought this method was very good, but...
"Now the national treasury is empty, how can you make money popularize the trolleys and then reclaim terraces?" Emperor Jin of Yuan held his hands behind his back, looking at the trolleys with his eyes unclear, "The trolleys have improved the water conservancy matter, and it will be implemented thoroughly. We still need to wait until the treasury is full before we discuss it."
He Jinrong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. The trolley benefits the people, and the people who benefit will benefit. You might as well let the people dig terraces by themselves. And the money produced by the trolley is equally distributed by the people?"
Emperor Jin of Yuan laughed and looked at He Jinrong with appreciation and said, "You are more popular than He Dai. If all the civil and military officials in the court are as talented as you, I may not be able to be the emperor of the ages."
He Jinrong knelt on the ground in panic, "Emperor, I cannot bear such praise from you. If there were no ministers who would share the worries for the emperor, under your governance, the Great Zhou Kingdom would not be so prosperous. The country is prosperous and the people are safe. Where will it be the turn of the weak ministers to show their bad luck?"
"Okay, let Luo Yin handle this matter with you. If it is done well, I will receive a lot of rewards." Emperor Jin of Yuan took He Jinrong's proposal and handed over the matter to him to handle it, and Luo Yin assisted.
He Jinrong was delighted and quickly thanked him.
The purpose of Emperor Jin of Yuan left the palace was to examine the effect of the trolley. Now that things were arranged, he immediately returned to the palace.
He Jinrong has ambitions. Now the emperor appreciates him very much and appoints this important task to him. In any case, he will do his best to do something. If it is fully promoted, he will definitely be able to promote it.
Gao Yingyue stood aside, looking at He Jinrong with an excited expression. She was not happy about his achievements, but was worried, "My husband, Lord Luo is a second-rank minister, and you are only a seventh-rank. He praised you. Now you are in the matter of the trolley, but he has to obey your transfer. I think this will make Lord Luo feel dissatisfied with you. When you meet him tomorrow, you can praise him and obey his orders in everything."
"Women, what do you know?" He Jinrong was poured a bucket of cold water by Gao Yingyue. He knew that she had made sense, but still couldn't hide his anger. He restrained him and said: "I am on orders and Lord Luo will be polite. Besides, I made the trolley, so he knows nothing. How can he direct?"
Seeing that he didn't listen to advice, Gao Yingyue had to give up.
Emperor Jin of Yuan Dynasty sent a team to obey He Jinrong's arrangements. He immediately began to promote trolleys in the prefectures around the capital. However, the people could not afford the money to build the embankment. In the end, the imperial court allocated silver. The people were grateful to Emperor Jin of Yuan Dynasty and He Jinrong.
Emperor Jin of Yuan Dynasty sent documents to various prefectures to build bins, and sent one person to take the drawings to supervise the worker.
In order to catch up with Pei Jiao, He Jinrong personally asked Emperor Jin of Yuan to be his assistant and asked him to learn how to build a tube. After Pei Jiao learned it, he happened to be sent to Danzhou Prefecture by Emperor Jin of Yuan to Emperor Jin of Danzhou.
When the prefect Xu of Danzhou saw the drawings brought by Pei Jiao, his face suddenly changed, "Mr. Pei, ask, "Where did you come from?"
Pei Jiao looked at the surprise in the eyes of Magistrate Xu and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"
The prefect Xu did not speak, but took out a drawing from the desk and pushed it to Pei Jiao. "This is a barrel cart made by Xue Zhuangyuan. It has been promoted in all the prefectures and counties in Danzhou. The people have used the barrel cart to alleviate the problem of heat and drought in the fields." Without waiting for Pei Jiao to speak, he took the memorial to Pei Jiao from the desk, "I have already planned to submit a memorial to Xue Zhuangyuan."
Pei Jiao was shocked. Except for the different designs of the sink, these two drawings were exactly the same!
Except for someone who plagiarized and copied it, he didn't believe that two people would collide with inspiration and design the same thing!
"When did Xue Zhuangyuan promote it?" Pei Jiao asked.
"He built a tube truck just a few days after his wedding. After a few days, he found dozens of carpenters to teach them to build tube trucks and dispatch them to various counties, towns and villages to facilitate the people to draw water. Your coincidence was that it was completed just yesterday. I have sent someone to inspect the tube trucks, and the tube trucks were implemented in every village near the river."
Pei Jiao felt that things had become tricky. Xue Shenzhi had already promoted it in Danzhou Prefecture, while He Jinrong only started promoting the trolley before 20. From the time when he became famous in the capital, it was at least half a month later than Xue Shenzhi.
He suddenly remembered that He Jinrong's drawings were picked up. If the drawings were written by Xue Shenzhi, then He Jinrong was lying.
Theirs were Jinshi in the same subject and were very familiar with each other's handwriting. When He Jinrong picked up the drawings, he would definitely identify them as the one who came from Xue Shenzhi, but he took them for himself!
The emperor has appointed He Jinrong to this matter. He reported it truthfully, and the emperor may not give Xue Shenzhi justice. The people in the capital and the people all know that the trolley was made by He Jinrong, and Emperor Jin of Yuan also investigated and recognized the matter. If He Jinrong plagiarized it, then this was also a slaughter of Emperor Jin of Yuan.
I am afraid that Emperor Jin of Yuan would make mistakes and even blame Xue Shenzhi for his crimes in order to calm down the situation.
"Mr. Xu, how should we deal with this matter?" Pei Jiao was in trouble.
Of course, the prefect Xu hoped that the credit would be on Xue Shenzhi, which would be very beneficial to him. He thought about it carefully in all aspects and finally said, "Report it truthfully."
Pei Jiao immediately returned to Beijing with the memorial of Prefect Xu.
It was nearly half a month before Pei Jiao returned to Beijing, and it was already early July.
He Jinrong built a batch of duct trucks in Fucheng County, towns and villages around the capital, saving manpower and drew significant water effects, which won praise from the people.
He Dai and others planned to ask the court officials to report the memorial, promote He Jinrong and place him in the Ministry of Works.
This memorial was presented on the case of Emperor Long of Yuan and Jin.
And at this moment, Pei Jiao returned to Beijing.
He immediately asked to meet Emperor Jin of Yuan.
Emperor Jin of Yuan Dynasty immediately summoned Pei Jiao because of the situation in Danzhou Prefecture.
Pei Jiao knelt down and saluted Emperor Jin of Yuan, then took out Xue Shenzhi's drawings and He Jinrong's drawings, and presented them to Emperor Jin of Yuan.
"Reported to the emperor, the trolley of Danzhou Prefecture was completed when Weichen rushed over. The builder of this trolley was Xue Shenzhi Xue Zhuangyuan. Xu Zhuangyuan had already built the trolley at the beginning of June. On the tenth of June, the trolley had already been fully promoted in Danzhou Prefecture. Xu was preparing to write a memorial to Xue Zhuangyuan, but Weichen was ordered to go to Danzhou Prefecture at this time."
Emperor Jin of Yuan looked at the two drawings that Liu Yong placed on the Long table, exactly the same.
According to information disclosed by Pei Jiao, Xue Shenzhi built a barrel car in early June, while He Jinrong built a barrel car in mid-June.
It is clear at a glance who is responsible for the trolley.
