Chapter 114: Two concubines can be accepted

(The second update arrived, after three thousand averages, but it fell off again after an update, and it hasn't gained a firm foothold, and when it stabilizes, it will enter the boutique, brothers, everyone will subscribe and support it!) )

After Zhang Chao came back from Chang'an, he immediately asked the eighth uncle to leave a few apprentices to continue to make the water wheel, and then asked the eighth uncle to personally take a few people to make a new plow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if there is no way to monopolize the business with technical secrecy, Zhang Chao can at least provide this new plough to his tenants and nearby villagers.

The technical difficulty of the Quyuan plough is very low, especially when Zhang Chao asked the eighth uncle to use the assembly line to operate, and the parts of each plough were standardized, and then made separately, it was even simpler.

Even if the eighth uncle has just started for half a year, he can go into battle.

In order to speed up the speed, Zhang Chao also recruited some young men to come over to do things. They do the simplest preparations, such as peeling the bark, sawing, etc.

The family of the beast maker Lao Niu is now also serving as the blacksmith of Zhangjiagou.

Last time, Zhang Chao got him a set of blacksmith stoves and tools, built a blacksmith shed, and the horseshoe had already been finished, and now it was just time for them to process the plough and shovel.

Because iron is more expensive, the plough shovel is the most economical and cost-saving method, a small triangular shape, which is still hollow inside, and is used to set it on the plough bed. This is the production method of many agricultural tools now, if you can not use iron, you will not use iron, and if you can use less, you will use less.

Many farmers' hoes are wooden hoes with iron at the front.

Many people can't afford to use small iron pots at home, and they still use clay pots.

The villagers of Zhangjiagou all knew that the Quyuan plough invented by Zhang Chao was quite powerful, and they came to Zhang's house to order.

Many people worked in Zhang's house during this time, but they also saved some money, originally they were worried that this kind of easy-to-use plow would be very expensive, who knew that Zhang Chao did not plan to make everyone's money, but just charged money at cost price.

Even if you don't have money, you can temporarily pay it on credit, and you can exchange it for food and cloth.

Everyone came to line up to register, and in just half a day, Ma Zhou had already registered more than 300 purchase orders.

"As soon as the news gets out, I expect more people to order tomorrow." Ma Zhou was also born in poverty, and he clearly understood the importance of this quyuan plow to the people. With such a good plow, of course everyone wants to grab one.

"It's okay, everyone is willing to buy it, we sell it to them, anyway, we will collect money according to the cost, and we will not lose money." Of course, Zhang Chao's cost price is actually added to a little processing fee, but it is not much, anyway, it can't really be a penny.

Everyone came to buy, and Zhang Chao was also happy. This thing has no technical content, a few craftsmen, or even a few carpenter apprentices can get it, and ordinary people can also help if they recruit a little more, and it is not a problem to fight dozens of fights a day.

And Zhang Chao believes that the imperial court will definitely promote this kind of plow on a large scale, and then it will definitely be made and sold in various places, and everyone does not have to come to Zhangjiagou.

Zhang Chao didn't expect to make a lot of money selling plows, he still looked forward to Chang'an's reaction.

He went out on conditions, but he didn't know if the eldest grandson Wuji would help him fight for it.

After waiting for a day, no one came to Chang'an.

This night, Zhang Chao had some insomnia.

He didn't know what reward Chang'an would give for his invention, he hoped to get a medal, not that he wanted to be an official. In fact, the rank only enjoys one level of treatment, and it is neither official nor official, neither official nor ministerial.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty can be divided into four systems: post, scatter, lord, and knight, and the post is the ministry officer, like the county magistrate, the county magistrate is the ministry, and the department level is equivalent to the scattered officials of the Tang Dynasty. However, it is now the fourth year of Tang Wude, and it will not be until the seventh year of Tang Wude that two sets of civil and military posts will be formally formed. Later, the dismissal became a civil and military officer, and the dismissal became a military officer, and now the dismissal is only a name of a loose post with more than five grades.

Honorable officer, is the military merit system of the Tang Dynasty, a bit similar to a certain combat hero, second-class merit, first-class merit and the like, the commander has neither a real position nor a position, and even the grade is also a visual product, with twelve turns.

Zhang Chao doesn't want to be an official, if he doesn't rely on military merits, he can't be an official. He just wants to be a loose officer or a medalist, and it would be good to have such an identity.

In fact, this is similar to the fact that some entrepreneurs in later generations will want to get a representative and a committee member when they become bigger, and it is also a layer of protection for them.

As for the title, Zhang Chao didn't think about it. A cloth white ding, if you want to get a knight, how can it be so easy. A lowly-level founding county man, that is all from the fifth grade.

The title is more valuable than any lord or loose official, and if it can be mixed with the real seal, it will be even more valuable, and it can directly enjoy the rent of a certain number of people, and the taxes they originally handed over to the court were handed over to those nobles.

A night of cranky thoughts.

When he got up in the morning, Zhang Chao took the silver gun and practiced honestly, and yesterday had been interrupted for a day.

A shot was stabbed, and Zhang Chao slowly recovered his spirits.

The three little black dogs didn't see Zhang Chao all night, and they were jubilant in the early morning, jumping left and right around Zhang Chao, and tearing Zhang Chao's trouser legs from time to time.

Because he was afraid of fleas, Zhang Chao built the three dogs' kennels on the edge of the stable, and did not let them enter the house every night. The three puppies have bones to gnaw on every day, grow quickly, and are round and chubby.

"Where is Zhang Chao and Zhang Wenyuan, come out to receive the order!"

Two officials suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao happily put down his gun, and finally waited.

Those two were not the eunuchs Zhang Chao imagined, but actually two bearded officials, listening to their self-introduction from Zhongshu Province, one of them was a general secretary, who was responsible for spreading the edict.

When the villagers who were watching next to them heard that it was an angel who had come to spread the will of the Son of Heaven, they all took a few steps back in awe. Angel, that's the person next to the Son of Heaven in the palace.

"Ba Shang Zhangjiagou Zhang Chao takes the order!"

The man shouted again in a fit of rage.

Zhang Chao hurriedly welcomed people into the house, then found a handful of incense sticks and burned incense to welcome the order.

The content of the holy decree is written in a very dragging text, anyway, Zhang Chao listened to the clouds and mountains and mist, and he didn't understand it at all, as if he was watching a German movie without subtitles.

There was no Fengtian to carry the emperor's edict, and there were no subordinates, anyway, when they finished reading, Zhang Chao was still kneeling on the ground.

"Zhang Sanlang, please get up."

"Well, can an angel tell me what this will means?"

The official who announced the decree did not despise Zhang Chao, and reinterpreted it very dutifully in "human words".

"Congratulations to San Lang, Ling Zun was awarded the title of founding barony of Yining County, and San Lang was also awarded the title of Cloud Cavalry Captain."

"Hexi, hexi, I also got a hundred acres of land and a hundred taels of gold."

However, these two people did not bring the gold, they just brought the holy decree to read it, as for the gold Hetian, as well as the lord's documents and the like, Zhang Chao had to go to the capital in person to handle the handover.

"Thank you two envoys for conveying the holy will, please sit down."

Zhang Chao went to the kang box and took two silver collars, this kind of silver collars commonly known as pig kidney silver are large and small, Zhang Chao has one or two in his hand, almost one is worth a thousand dollars.

The two officials of the lower province just smiled, but they accepted it without shirking, and they were not too little.

Zhang Chao also wanted to leave the two of them for a banquet, but the people were in a hurry to go back to their lives.

When they left, Uncle Eight and Muramasa walked in.

Just now they also heard that Zhang Chao was a knight outside, and his father was knighted.

"San Lang, are you now a cloud knight?"

"It's seven pins."

"It's the right seven grades." Zhang Chao corrected it.

However, everyone doesn't care what they don't look at the seven products, everyone only knows that Zhang Chao offered a plow, and he changed from a white body to a positive seven products. Not to mention anything else, in the future, Zhang Chao will be able to marry a wife, and he will also be able to accept two concubines.

Zhang Chao doesn't have to pay taxes, and he doesn't have to serve.

"Captain Yun still has a hundred acres of Xuntian." Another villager said in an envious tone.

"The iron gun has been knighted, the founding county man, and he also has 500 acres of Yongye field."

A group of villagers are even more excited than Zhang Chao, where you will reward Zhang Chao and his son with every word.

In addition to the lord's reward, as well as the reward of 100 taels of gold and 100 acres of land, the father was knighted, and the title also had Yongye Field, and this minimum title was also from the fifth grade, and 500 acres of Yongye Field could be obtained. And although Zhang Chao only got a cloud knight captain who regarded the seven products as a positive grade, the commander could also get Yongye Field, and the second-to-last cloud knight captain could get a hundred acres of Commander Yongye Field.

Adding up, it is a full 700 acres of land, and all of them are Yongye fields, which can be inherited by descendants without returning.

After the villagers calculated this number, they were all envious.

Seven hundred acres of land is equivalent to half of Zhuangzi's field.

What's more, after winning the lord, the status of the Zhang family's father and son is higher.

Zhang Chao didn't expect that Li Yuan would actually talk about meritorious deeds and rewards like this, and the Quyuan plough he offered turned out to be knighted by his father, and he was only honored.

However, this result has already made Zhang Chao overjoyed, he was worried that the imperial court would just give a reward, so he also asked the eldest grandson Wuji to hope for a medal.

Now that he has won the honor, he is still a cloud knight captain who regards the seventh grade, and his father has also made him a county baron.

But Daddy's title is also his own, and he is Daddy's heir, so of course this title will have to fall on his head in the future.

In the future, I will also have people who are products, and I will be seven products, and I will add a look in front of them, but it is also seven products.

Now he is not only a small landlord, but also an official gentry.

Local fame.

I don't know how happy my dad will be when he learns the news.

"Bolt, prepare the horse!"

"Hey." The plug replied loudly.

The bolt's face is red, and the master has been knighted, and he feels very face-saving.

Mura Masaye also said on the side, "I want to go to Chang'an to get the paperwork quickly, and I can't delay it." ”

"There is also a lord in our village."

Turning over the horse, Zhang Chao felt that he was particularly energetic today.

"Drive!"

With a wave of the whip, the old white horse also opened its hooves and ran, and the hooves struck on the frozen ground. (To be continued.) )
