Chapter seven hundred and sixty third Pepsi farming
"Let Du Lang write a letter and ask Cui Shiyilang to be transferred to Shancheng as the county magistrate? What did the third senior brother say in the letter?"
In the bedroom, Du Shiyi saw Wang Rong asking such a question, and his face was full of incredible expression. He knew that his wife and he had gone together. Pei Ning was not someone else, and he was always calm and self-control. He didn't know how Cui Jianxuan used his three-year-old tongue to impress the third senior brother. When he was in Yunzhou, because there was only one city in Yunzhou, in order to support Yunzhong County, diversion of population at the same time, cultivate more land, and could guard the official road and strengthen the ability to transport materials, he invited Huairen County. But even so, it was not his suggestion that Cui Jianxuan come to be the county magistrate.
The county magistrate appointed by the court was too picky and actually used the excuse of falling off a horse and being injured. He wanted to squeeze his brother-in-law Cui Jianxuan to take over the position, but he ended up making mistakes.
"However, at that time, in Yunzhou, it was because the upper and lower classes were not my friends, or the person I promoted, and it would be a bit eye-catching. But since he was transferred by chance, I was of course very happy. But now in Longyou, although I tried my best to move around and open up the situation, if I could have one more Cui Shiyi, I would have more arms. The only thing I was worried about is that at this critical moment, Xiao Xiangguo resigned at this time. After I wrote this letter, whether it was the third brother in the court, Cui Shiyi's brother-in-law Wang Xiaqing, all kinds of people might be very busy."
Speaking of this, Du Shiyi took out the memorial he had written from his pillow and shook it to Wang Rong: "Everyone is greedy for the comfort of the Beijing officials and can be seen by His Majesty. But since Cui Shiyi wants to work with me, even if he may be denounced as nepotism, I cannot be stingy with this confession. Shancheng is located sixty or seventy miles west of Huangshui City. Whether it is a military force to go out to the West Sea or to Shibao City, the Zhenwu Army today, they must pass here. It can be said to be the throat of Shanzhou and must not be lost. I just hope that Cui Shiyi can be successfully transferred this time."
Since Du Shiyi said this and even wrote the memorial, Wang Rong understood that he had made up his mind. In addition, she missed Du Shisanniang very much, and then murmured for a moment: "No matter what, with the previous examples of Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Yangong, it may be very likely to succeed."
"It's best to be like a good wife." Du Shiyi grabbed Wang Rong's tenderness, put her lips on her lips and kissed her gently, and then said solemnly, "Today, Wang Zhongsi and I discussed the rules and regulations of replacing silk and horse markets with tea and horse markets, but if we really do this, the production of tea must not be less. It is important to know that once Your Majesty finds that tea and horse markets can save a lot of silk, the demand for tea will surely surge. This is the best opportunity to fully develop tea planting and tea trade, and it is also an opportunity to control tea prices. Young Mother, you started to run this trip since my sister and Li Lusu divorced and moved to Yunzhou, and I will ask you all."
"I know, since you want to be your good wife, you always have to be the end," Wang Rong naturally would not refuse Du Shiyi's request. However, she still said solemnly, "But once tea becomes more and more important, monopoly will become more and more difficult. Du Lang, you need to know it."
"There will be no problem within three to five years. When someone finally can't help but interfere, let's talk about it until then."
Du Shiyi wrote a letter and said frankly that he had only one legitimate sister. Now that his brother-in-law Cui Jianxuan's term of office has expired, he requested to transfer him to Shancheng as the commander of Shancheng. A few days later, there was no reply on this matter. The news that the court appointed Longyoudao interview and disposal envoy arrived in Shanzhou. It was an extremely unexpected candidate. It was not someone else. It was Miao Yansi, who was the most trusted Miao Yansi, whom Zhang Jiazhen trusted the most when he was prime minister, thought of a grudge with him, and then that Miao Han and Miao Hanye brothers were all under his command. Du Shiyi was a little confused about the appointment of this old acquaintance.
But he didn't have to worry about the person.
Compared with Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Guazhou and Suzhou under the jurisdiction of the Jiedu of Hexi, which are suffering from wind and sand, the twelve states under the jurisdiction of the Jiedu of Longyou have abundant water systems, which can be said to be natural forests and abundant grass and trees. However, because the west side of Shanzhou is often invaded by Tubo soldiers and horses, many towering trees that have grown for hundreds of years or even longer have become natural materials for building castles. Because the troops need food and need food, they have to farm, so the habit of burning wasteland is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Du Shiyi knew the harm of soil erosion, but it would be useless to just publish a document to break such bad habits. What's more, quarrying requires more manpower than logging. Compared with the huge land, the population of Shanzhou is now dropping the bucket. What he can do is to give full play to the efficiency of farming to fortress building. As he posted a list of recruitment articles, he also brought out many agricultural tools that had been reformed from Jiangnan to Daizhou, and gathered farmers to carry out technological research and innovation, and awarded a heavy prize. For a time, many people flocked to it, and everyone wanted to get a full 100,000 yuan reward. In addition, it was a name.
As the governor of Longyou, Du Shiyi promised that if anyone's farm tools could be finally selected, then the corresponding farm tools would be named after whose surname would be. This would bring wealth and glory to himself. Who would not work hard for the skilled craftsmen?
On this day, the craftsmen who finally stood out after many screenings gathered in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion to show off all kinds of exquisite farm tools they designed one by one. Du Shiyi used to say that he had designed several farm tools, but he just drew a drawing for the craftsmen to think about it, or he would give Tian Mo a rough idea and let the Kunlun slave who followed him for the longest time to meditate. Now all kinds of farm tools that he had never heard of appeared in turn. He said that as the final tester, in fact, the actual work completely gave way to Tian Mo who was traveling with Wang Rong and his son when they set off from Chang'an to Shanzhou.
Seeing that the Kunlun slave, who was now darker and strong, looked strong, was surrounded by a group of craftsmen and old farmers, tried them one by one and commented on the quality of the farm tools, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of reason, he should have chosen a wife for Tian Mo. The problem is that although he first released him as a subordinate and as a civilian, this big man who is no longer a little guy is now becoming more addicted to farming and ignores anything else. Whether it is a woman of the same clan or a graceful Tang commoner, he ignores all of them, and is still alone. Sometimes he is anxious for him when he thinks about it. If he loves crops, he will never live like this for the rest of his life?
"The angle of the iron plow is different when it is buried and unearthed. It cannot be seen when the old ox plows the land, but when using manpower, you can feel that the force is wrong, and it will hurt the animal's strength over time..."
"This waterwheel model looks good, but after you zoom in, you will know when lifting water and ooing water..."
Although it was already very cold today, because the huge room was full of people, Tian Mo was sweating profusely. Just as he meticulously studied the model of a keel water truck in front of him, he heard a crisp sound coming from his ears.
"Hey, can you understand it? This is a keel waterwheel that was found in the Han Dynasty. My family has made this special purpose for several generations. It has been improved and improved. Don't you can't understand it, but you will be randomly judged at that time."
"This is a keel waterwheel with footsteps. It can be watered when pedaled. And it is exquisitely crafted. The farm tools were indeed not as careful as this thing." Tian Mo did not respond to the question, but just explained it seriously, and did not even see the joy on the girl's face at all. Suddenly, the lyrics turned around, "But the problem with this keel waterwheel is that it is really too exquisite."
"Hey, what do you mean?" The girl who thought she was in sight just now was furious and didn't care about the occasion. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "You are picking the bones in the eggs."
Today, when almost all men were there, a woman's voice suddenly came out. Du Shiyi was stunned. Looking in the sound, he saw the woman in Baotou in the green squid. She saw that the man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with coarse cloth clothes, and looked pretty, especially when he put his hips on his hips and got angry, and he was a little tigressing. He thought about it and whispered to the servant beside him. The servant immediately went down and brought Tian Mo and the woman to him in a short while.
"Minister girl...Minister girl Cai Wuniang, I have met the Grand Marshal."
The woman who was just smart and arguing with Tian Mo was a little nervous in front of Du Shiyi. Tian Mo became much more calm and bent down to salute and called the Lord.
"What are you fighting there just now?"
Despite a little awe, Cai Wuniang gritted her teeth and said, "Master, the folk girl dare not lie. It's really this black guy who picks on the bones in the eggs. While saying that the keel and water wheel are too exquisite, the problem is that it is too exquisite."
"Master Lang, I said that, but that is not just a vernacular word. I have carefully looked at the model of this keel water wheel. It has been added together. There are a total of hundreds of parts. This keel water wheel is often used for many times and time. The more parts, the more likely it is to damage it. I wonder how many people can this Mrs. Cai who are proficient in repairing this item? Can you arrive immediately when others urgently need it and quickly find the broken parts? If not, you would rather save many parts that are exquisite but have no substantial effect. In this way, this keel water wheel is more suitable for daily use."
Tian Mo just judged many people's farm tools, but they were all concise and to the point. At this time, this detailed comment immediately made the craftsmen convinced. Indeed, this is not the most important thing that is to worship the craftsmanship in the palace, which requires ingenuity, but to be suitable for daily use, so it is not easy to damage.
When Du Shiyi heard such a judgment, she couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Cai Wuniang blushed, she also glared at Tian Mo fiercely. He couldn't help but be curious about Cai Wuniang and immediately asked, "Cai Wuniang, as a woman, how could you learn all kinds of crafts?"
"Report to the Grand Marshal, although my family has been a carpenter for generations, several brothers have no intention of inheriting Grand Mars' skills and went to join the army. I have watched Grand Mars sigh all day long since I was a child, and later I learned it unknowingly. Now Grand Marshal has learned all the skills, and the carpentry skills are not as good as men." Speaking of this, Cai Wuniang remembered that she had just been criticized by Tian Mo, and she almost said that she was lewd and tricky. She couldn't help but glance at the person next to her with resentment. She suddenly realized that Du Shiyi was in front of her and quickly lowered her head respectfully, "Please give me a chance. There is still room for transformation of this keel and water truck."
Du Shiyi had asked his servants to take the model of the keel and water wheel in front of him and carefully looked at it. At the time, everyone was named Du in the three things about the water wheel in Daizhou, but he just drew a rough drawing and said some rough ideas. All the rest were Tian Mo and those skilled craftsmen who used their brains, but he could still grasp the principles.
At this moment, looking at the really exquisite keel water wheel, he couldn't help but feel sincere appreciation for the skills and brains of the girl in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Tian Mo, please judge the rest. As for Cai Wuniang, after you go back, you can think about how to make this thing easier to operate and repair, and then send it to the Shanzhou Governor's Office, and I will have a reward at that time."
Cai Wuniang originally thought that she would definitely be completely eliminated today, but she was just begging for a mercy with a mercy, and saw that Du Shiyi had agreed to her, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked her. She was about to leave, but Du Shiyi added with a smile.
"You follow Tian Mo and see how he judges other people's various farm tools."
Although she was a little annoyed that Tian Mo criticized the keel water truck she had worked hard to build before, she had to convince herself that she suddenly saw the most critical shortcomings. Since Du Shiyi had spoken, no matter whether she wanted it or not, she could only follow Tian Mo with a stern face like a small tail hanging behind her back and observing the various farm tools offered by others.
Du Shiyi, just showing her face today was enough to be satisfied. She just stayed for a while, but because of Tian Mo's long-lost excitement and excitement, she of course left now. Back in Zhenqiangzhai, Wu Tianqi, who had been serving here since he arrived in Shanzhou, immediately reported: "Lord Lord, Langjun, Langjun has been here with Duan Langjun before, and learned that Langjun was in front of him, and said he would come again later."
Wang Rong thought that it would be a big deal to get Du Guangyuan and Duan Xiushi closer, but he didn't expect that Du Guangyuan was not convinced. He went to Duan Xiushi several times and wanted to make the scene back. After a while, the two became much more familiar. Today, when he learned that Du Shiyi was going to see Duan Xiushi, Duan Guangyuan volunteered to be the messenger. At this moment, when he learned that his father had returned to Zhenqiangzhai for the first time, he immediately dragged Duan Xiushi forward. When he arrived at the door of the study, he still wisely asked Wu Tianqi, who was coming out to welcome him, and said, "How about the love between Grandpa?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the Lord is in a good mood now."
Although his father was much easier to talk to than his mother, Du Guangyuan felt much more relieved after Wu Tianqi confirmed this. He immediately sorted out his clothes and walked in with great momentum.
As for Duan Xiushi, as a guest, he was far less calm than Du Guangyuan. His father was appreciated by Du Shiyi, and was injured and was appointed as the judge of the Longyou Jiedushi. He also sent additional food and daily life to take care of him. The doctor was the best. Wang Rong even opened the martial arts venue to himself and gave him ten new books. Such treatment made him feel a little nervous, just like the anxiety of falling pie for no reason in the sky.
So, after following Du Guangyuan inward to pay tribute to Du Shiyi, he saw that the Longyou Jiedushi in the main seat did not signal him to sit. He immediately felt that there must be another reason today. Sure enough, Du Shiyi did not beat around the bush, but directly told a shocking news.
"Guangyuan, Xiushi, General Wang Zhongsi and I have discussed it a few days ago. From now on, as long as General Wang has free time, he will teach you two martial arts and military skills."
"Really? Grandpa, is this true?" Du Guangyuan was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He rushed forward in three or two steps and grabbed his father's sleeve tightly, "Grandpa, you can't make me happy."
Seeing Duan Xiushi staying there, Du Shiyi glared at Du Guangyuan angrily and didn't say anything. Until the little guy woke up and lost his composure, he retreated awkwardly and stood with Duan Xiushi. He said earnestly: "In short, you two must persevere and never give up halfway. Especially you Guangyuan, if you skip class or something else, I will send you back to Chang'an directly, and you don't have to come back, let alone see General Wang again. As for Xiushi, I hope you cherish this opportunity and don't let your grandfather down."
Seeing that his father who had always been good to him said such words, Du Guangyuan shuddered and knew that his father was coming this time. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely stick to it to the end."
Duan Xiushi was shocked. Realizing that Du Shiyi must have told her father, but her father did not say anything at all. He forced himself to be excited and excited, and then bowed and said, "Xiushi is loved by the Grand Marshal, and must study hard and live up to the Grand Marshal's expectations."
"Okay, you go, General Wang will come to the Governor's Office in Shanzhou tomorrow. You two will become disciples at that time."
When he watched the couple of children, who were nearly ten years apart, left, Du Shiyi couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Cui Jianxuan joined Lu Hong's gate. Looking back at the years of the cottage, it seemed like an extremely long memory. Since he became an official, he has seen Lu Hong several times? He, Cui Jianxuan, Pei Ning, Lu Hong, Yan Zhenqing... came out of the cottage of Songshan, but he didn't know that his mentor is good now, and the cottage is good?
This trace of sorrow soon disappeared without a trace. Now Du Shiyi has no time to feel sad about spring and autumn.
In the 5,000-year history of China, many outstanding authors of inventions did not even leave a name, and at the same time, many inventions that left the author's name, all belonged to a certain official. Du Shiyi did not think that officials could not do some inventions, but it is not surprising that the collection and collection of things such as the Complete Book of Agriculture and Political Science of Heaven and the Book of Agricultural Affairs was hosted by scholars, but it is difficult to say whether the original creations of those adults were made by adults. Except for the names of a few people such as Huang Daopo in Luban, there were few traces left by hundreds of craftsmen in the history written by literati. Just because these were literati, they naturally attributed the credit to literati rather than craftsmen.
Tian Mo has been with Du Shiyi for more than ten years. Whether it is growing tea or cotton, he has mastered it. The farm tools are learned by himself while asking questions, and in the end he has become an expert in practicality research. With a master like Du Shiyi, he knows that Du Shiyi pays more attention to practicality, so the final selection is simple to use and convenient to make. The most important thing is that it can be transformed on the original agricultural tools to achieve the maximum output with the minimum expense. Therefore, a water truck that takes water from the river and irrigates appears much rougher than Cai Wuniang's keel water truck, but he has rated it as the number one in the water truck category.
Now, Cai Wuniang finally understood the judging criteria of this Kunlun slave. Although she was still dissatisfied, she had to admit that, especially when she saw Tian Mo's habits of various crops and the differences between water and dry land, and from time to time she would draw the shapes of farm tools she had seen on paper in various places such as Shu, Jiangnan, Hedong, etc., which made other craftsmen nodded repeatedly. She finally sighed softly.
Well, even if she meets the nemesis today, next time she transforms the keel water wheel, he must convince him
Although the reward for agricultural tools was offered by the Governor's Office in Shanzhou, it was not impossible to put such a expense on the Governor's Office account. However, Du Shiyi did not want some people to gossip, so he instructed Zhang Xing to go to each family to get a small sponsorship. After a while, he tried again in the fields where Lintao Army farmed outside the city for three days. The final selection results were announced. While the winner was announced, he asked Zhou Wu, the former subordinate of Shanzhou who had followed him to make up for the households in Shanzhou, to lead the craftsmen to promote and transform them everywhere.
Although the bounties have been settled, and the names of Chen's sickle, He's plow and so on have been promoted, on this day, Tian Mo suddenly asked to see Du Shiyi and presented several models. Du Shiyi had long been familiar with his careful and serious temperament in his favorite things. After taking a look at them one by one, he asked thoughtfully: "These should be things that you thought were too exquisite before, so they put aside, right?"
"Yes." Tian Mo nodded, and then said seriously, "The Lord Lang wrote the "Tea Classic" and commented on the Water Primitive. In Yunzhou and Daizhou, he invited many literati and scholars to write poems and spread them to the world, so everyone knows it. I was also ordered to judge these farm tools this time, and then suddenly thought of it, could Lord Lang write a book of "Agriculture Book"? He drew all kinds of farm tools that he wanted to use but was trapped in costs, and then put them on annotations and printed them to pass on the world. In this way, all the craftsmen in the world can see it. If the tools used by farmers in the world can be improved one by one, wouldn't it be a great good deed?"
This guy really respects me
Du Shiyi was stunned by the words. Artistic things are easy to do, and some of those collections of poems were willing to buy them as topics of discussion, but this agricultural book requires quite solid practice, not to mention many illustrations, and it is likely that no one cares about it. Poor that he never planted all in his previous life, and it is simply difficult to write such a book.
He stared at Tian Mo for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Since it is a good deed, why not let you do it? Thirteen Niang taught you to read and read in her early years. Although you have been studying agriculture for many years, you have read a lot of miscellaneous studies, so why not write it into a book?"
"Me? No, I'm just a servant..."
Chapter completed!
