Chapter Seventy-Nine: Xu De is promoted
Li Dong went to burn something for Yan Huang again, and Xue Yantuo carried the head of the handle, plus hundreds of Tiele nobles. Although Kong Saijiu repeatedly emphasized that the process should be followed in accordance with the Basic Law, in the end, the emperor was willful and made a decision.
"Spring ploughing is a big deal, and the prince is doing a good job."
The people who were lazy in the spring breeze were lazy, and Li Shimin took his ministers to inspect the Weinan farmland. At this moment, the prince had already gone to the ground, and with a wave of the whip in his hand, eight oxen dragged a heavy plough and plowed the ground.
"Why does this plow still have wheels?"
Woochimen, who was already working in the Gyeonggi area, was surprised, "And it used eight cows!" ”
"Tut, if I had a cow at home, I would have come out to fight a fart battle." Yu Chi Gongzu was also hard, and his father followed the Xianbei people to fight everywhere. At that time, it was popular to make a Xianbei name, which boss you talk to, and which boss will give you a name.
For example, Yang Jian, he has a Xianbei surname Pu Liuru, so he can also be called Pu Liuru Jian before. Wei Chigong's grandfather and father were all mud-legged for two generations, and if it weren't for a little strength, poor middle peasants like them would have been immediately knocked down, chopped and fed to dogs, or sieged to fill trenches.
If there are cattle at home, it is at least at the level of the village tyrant, not to mention that there are one or two thousand turtles to mix with them, and there is no pressure to get a Wubao Tun grain.
"This plow is famous, famous."
After all, the old devil of Yuchi went down to the ground, lifted his robe, and went over to touch the soil that had been turned out: "This guy is a good thing." ”
He rolled his eyes, smiled, and asked the person who was about to be in prison, "This thing." How much is it worth? ”
"When you go back to Wu Guogong, you need to be consistent."
"It's expensive. Isn't it you scum who are greedy for wages? ”
The old devil heard the price of the plowshare. Immediately unpleasant.
When Xu De, the person in charge, heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "Xia Guan will never dare to be greedy for the blood and sweat of ink craftsmen, it really takes some Chenguang to make the eight-ox plow." And Chang'an's method of making utensils, thanks to manpower, is far inferior to ......"
Speaking of this, Xu De stopped talking himself. He was taken aback and couldn't help but say these words. And Wei Chigong raised his eyebrows, and immediately grinned: "Are you Xu Xiaode?" ”
"It's Xiaguan."
"I remember you. You have a girl who can speak well, and I heard that at the age of six she can read and write, and she can also write poetry. Hehe, let me ask you, I heard that someone in the East Palace led you to look for Zhang Caozhi, but is there such a thing? ”
Xu De's face suddenly collapsed, but the old devil on the opposite side was one of the four heavenly kings, so he had no choice but to nod: "This is the point mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince." Xia Guan benefited a lot. ”
"You're not good at making tools, and you've benefited a lot." Wei Chigong looked disdainful, patted the soil in his hand, and then stuck his waist in his waist. "If I guessed correctly, probably the prince asked you to learn the craft from Zhang Caozhi, right? I know that the prisoner is capable, but you are not capable. Presumably this eight-ox plow. It was also given to you by Zhang Caozhi, right? ”
Who is the old devil, the four richest kings in Chang'an. Can this little trick hide from him? Xu De was helpless, as long as he nodded, he said: "Wu Guogong's eyes are like torches. ”
"You really can't be an official. Gee. If it is someone else, it will be denied whether it is dead or alive. You admit it, if someone whistles it, do you still want to be promoted? Wei Chigong shook his head, "You are a sincere person, much stronger than that little bastard." ”
When the old demon of Wei Chi, who was full of emotion, remembered that he had met Zhang De back then, his only impression was that he ran to Chang'an naked, and then was sprayed with dog blood by the emperor.
"How much does it cost to plug and make these eight-oxen plows?"
"Depending on the shape, it ranges from 250 to 700 wen."
Wei Chi Ritian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, good, good, good." ”
patted Xu De on the shoulder, and the old devil said, "Don't worry, I won't harm you." Do things well, someone will always promote you. ”
"Xie Wu Guogong's kind words."
After that, the old devil returned to the emperor's guard of honor, and Li Dong asked him: "Jingde, what are you going to do?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I went and asked Xu Xiaode to see the results of this eight-ox plow."
"Oh? What do you say? ”
"Shengbai farmers work hard for a day."
Everyone was shocked, and those who had large pieces of fields in their homes were all very excited. Even Wen Yanbo stretched his brows and smiled without saying a word.
"It's a sharp weapon."
"With these eight oxen plows, it can save a lot of people's power."
"Guanluo Central Plains Jianghuai, all can be used."
"It's a pity that the land of Jiannan is steep and mountainous, it's a pity."
But this is good news for those who own a lot of land in the north.
So after Li Chengqian's spring ploughing show was over, the emperor took his younger brothers back to discuss the matter of promotion. After calling Xu De over and asking carefully, the ministers found that the cost of the eight-ox plow was a bit expensive, so they decided that in a place where the people were not rich, the court would provide the plow, and the peasants could rent it.
In this way, the situation of scattered plots and scattered cultivation can be solved.
Then Xu De left the palace in a flutter, facing the spring breeze on the street, feeling that the whole person was about to float.
The boss's eldest brother, Sun Wuji, said to him very vaguely, such a virtuous government is done beautifully, and while adding points to the prince, it also licks the glory of the emperor. You are a meritorious person, the court and the emperor will remember you, the organization decides to use you for another time, and you are ready.
So Xu De returned to his home in the west of the city, and his daughter asked with a smile: "Yes, what is the happy event today?" ”
The six-year-old girl held a newly printed volume of "Poems" in her hand, and after putting it on the bookcase, she poured a glass of water for Xu De and closed her mouth warmly.
"Hui Niang, look at yes, is it appropriate to be a five-grade official?"
"Yes, yes, because of the eight-oxen plow, did you make a meritorious service?"
The little girl was smart and clever, and she was able to figure out this matter, which made Xu De extremely happy, hugged her daughter and said: "The eldest grandson has mentioned a little, and there is still a lack of words." Just ......"
"yes, just what?"
It's just that Wu Guogong also said a sentence during the day, saying that the north of the new Ding, the pastoral supervisor must be set up first, and the pastoral supervisor will be added more than a dozen people. Wu Guogong asked directly about his father, if he wished, he could carry it. ”
Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong spoke more bluntly. And why did the old devil say this to Xu Xiaode, Xu Xiaode himself could guess, not because of Zhang De and Zhang Caozhi's face?
But compared to the writer, it is obvious that the pastoral supervisor is fat, although he does his best, but in this world, he always has to eat, and he has to make his family comfortable. Huzhou came out to be an official, and he joined the government at the age of fifteen, not to mention the hardships, and his ambition was somewhat frustrated. This opportunity is a little exciting.
"yes, isn't it good to be promoted?"
"It's good, it's just that Saibei is there, and I'm not familiar with my father. Besides, if you leave Chang'an for your father, won't you still have to take you with you? In the bitter cold land, it is nothing for the father alone. But if it is bitter for Hui Niang, how can he be at ease for his father? ”
He said it, but saw Xu Hui smile and said, "Yes, yes, it's so good to me." ”
"Then stay in Chang'an!"
Seeing his daughter's smile, Xu De's whole person was about to melt, and what bullshit was about to leave behind. (To be continued.) )
