Datang Nongwang

Chapter 611 Meet the Enthusiastic People Again

Li Chongyuan can only give a rough idea of ​​the description of Chang'an City.

Anyone who has been to Chang'an probably knows the layout of Chang'an.

Even if you have never been to Chang'an, as long as you have heard of it, you can basically know a general idea.

And Li Chongyuan even told Lifang where his mansion is located, which can be regarded as revealing the truth to the old man in front of him, so that he can believe what he said.

As soon as Li Chongyuan said, the old man nodded lightly, "It turns out that my brother is really from Chang'an. The old man knows the Xiuzhen workshop that my brother mentioned. It is said that the Xiuzhen workshop is the Lifang where the current emperor once lived. Brother lives in this cultivation workshop, so it can be seen that my brother is not an ordinary person."

"My old man has a good memory and good eyesight." Li Chongyuan responded with some polite compliments.

The old man seemed to be less vigilant at the moment, staring at Li Chongyuan and said: "Old man, I have only been to Chang'an once, and that was decades ago. However, since the younger brother is from Chang'an, his status must be extraordinary. Yes. The little brother brought so many guards to our remote and remote place, he must not be here to collect mountain goods, the aura of the little brother looks like an official."

"Old man, look at me, I don't have the aura of an official. Speaking of which, boy, I am a farmer. Although I am from Chang'an and live in Chang'an City, I do some farming in my farm all the year round. You If you say you have an unusual status, you really want your status to be extraordinary. It's a pity that you don't have the life to be an official, but you like to do some farming and small business." Li Chongyuan smiled.

The old man in front of him has really sharp eyesight.

Just from Li Chongyuan's aura and so many guards, it can be seen that Li Chongyuan's identity is unusual, which shows that this old man must have an unusual experience.

Li Chongyuan's words are half true and half false.

In order to win people's trust, Li Chongyuan could only say so.

If you really want to tell the old man in front of you that you are the governor of Yangzhou, you can't frighten him.

The old man showed a naive smile on his face, and pointed to the sky, "Brother, it's getting late, if you want to ask about this mountain product, I think it's better to avoid it. Although we are not far from the county , but it will take an hour. Brother, why don’t you go back to the county town for a shot, and then ask in the county town.”

"Old man, it's still early in the day. Besides, the boy came to Wuyue Town this time to collect mountain goods, and he couldn't get the mountain goods when he returned to the county. If the old man has something hard to say, you might as well talk to the boy, maybe the boy will return I can help a little." Li Chongyuan didn't know what the old man meant, and felt that there was something in his words.

The old man shook his head, "There's nothing to hide, it's just that my brother came to the wrong place."

"Oh? Old man, what do you mean by that? Do you have to choose a place to accept mountain goods? Yangyuan County is located in a mountainous area, so there must be a lot of mountain goods. The boy originally wanted to go to Huayang County, but I heard that there are mountains There are a lot of bandits, so I chose to come to Yangyuan County, where there are no bandits. If the old man has something to say, you can just say it, and the boy will listen to you." Li Chongyuan's doubts in his heart became more serious.

The old man stopped talking, smiled and waved his hands, and was about to walk forward.

And Li Chongyuan was a little anxious about what was going on in the old man's words, and wanted to keep him, but felt that he didn't seem to have any reason.

This made Li Chongyuan a little embarrassed.

but.

Just when Li Chongyuan was in trouble, Xing Ba walked towards the old man hurriedly, and whispered a few words.

Immediately.

The old man opened his eyes, and looked back at Li Chongyuan in surprise.

From the eyes of the old man, Li Chongyuan could see some inconceivable and some surprise.

At this moment Li Chongyuan was also curious about what Xingba said to the old man and how he could keep him, and at this moment the old man was walking back.

"Brother, are you really a master craftsman of making Quyuanli?" The old man quickly walked up to Li Chongyuan and asked with a respectful expression.

amount.

When Li Chongyuan heard the word Qu Yuanli, he immediately understood what Xing Ba had said to the old man.

Qu Yuanli.

Farm tools that Li Chongyuan made in advance for the convenience of farming when he was in Lizhuang.

Because Li Chongyuan made Quyuanli, Li Shimin also raised Li Chongyuan's title for this, and even rewarded him with a lot of money and things.

And Quyuanli's things, promoted by the imperial court, have already penetrated into various places among the people.

In the counties of Yangzhou, many people have already replaced Zhiyuanli with Quyuanli.

The peasants and common people love Quyuanli's things very much.

Why?

Because not everyone has farm cattle.

Not to mention farming cattle, even a cheap donkey is not something ordinary farmers can own.

And with the appearance of Quyuanli, in the absence of oxen, after using Quyuanli, the plowing speed is several times faster.

Such a good thing, it can be said that all the farmers and common people flock to it.

and so.

When Xing Ba caught up with the old man and said that Li Chongyuan was the inventor of Quyuanli, the old man's eyes immediately showed some disbelief and surprise.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan felt very embarrassed when asked by the old man, but no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to nod.

In order to draw the relationship between the two closer, Li Chongyuan had no choice but to nod cheekily and said, "Old man, the Quyuanli you mentioned was made by the boy. However, the Quyuanli boy had already done it two years ago. It has been handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court has already promoted it to benefit the peasants and common people."

"It turns out that my brother is really the master craftsman of that Quyuanli, please accept the old man's salute." After hearing Li Chongyuan's affirmation, the old man immediately bowed and saluted.

Li Chongyuan quickly stretched out his hand to help him, "Old man, you can't stand being polite. But, I don't know something. Why are you so sure that Quyuanli was made by the boy? And you don't doubt what the boy said. words are lies."

"Brother, it seems that you don't know. Last year, in order to promote Quyuanli, the officials said that Quyuanli came from a young man who lived in Chang'an Cultivation Workshop. He was originally a member of the royal Li family. , because of poor official career, he lowered his status to work as a farmer. For this reason, he made such a godlike thing as Quyuanli. Brother, you said that you live in Chang'an Xiuzhen Workshop, and you are good at farming. But the guard of the brother said that the brother is He is the inventor of Quyuanli, that's why the old man is sure that the inventor of Quyuanli is the same as my younger brother, that's why the old man is so sure." What the old man said seemed very logical.

After listening to the old man's words, Li Chongyuan felt that the court's propaganda played a role in this matter, or Xingba's words played a role, or Qu Yuanli played a role, making people believe his identity with just a few words.

Regarding the matter of Qu Yuanli.

After Li Chongyuan handed in the things, he never asked about them.

Not even a single word was asked.

In Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan can say that he only cultivates his one-third of an acre of land, and he doesn't hear anything outside.

Li Chongyuan was a little dumbfounded by the imperial court's way of propaganda.

Ok.

Now that the old man has believed in his identity, then Li Chongyuan has achieved his goal.

"I don't have any skills, you really like to play around with these agricultural things, so I make you laugh at me, old man." Li Chongyuan felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Li Chongyuan's embarrassment did not make the old man ignore it.

The old man's face was full of excitement at the moment, and he held Li Chongyuan's hand involuntarily with both hands, "Brother, no, the old man can't be so rude." The old man felt that he was holding Li Chongyuan's hands a little rudely, so he quickly let go, but The face was still extremely excited: "Little brother, go, go to my house and have a sit."

The excited old man was a little incoherent.

Just go to my house and sit around, and you can see that he doesn't know what to say.

Li Chongyuan put on a kind smile on his face, "Old man, you are too polite. Boy, I would rather be respectful than obedient, so I will disturb the old man."

Regardless of his status or not, the old man dragged Li Chongyuan towards his home.

While procrastinating, he shouted to the people who were standing and watching not far away: "Everyone, come quickly, Master Li is here. It is Master Li who built Quyuanli. Go and call Li Zheng come over."

The watching people in the distance were stunned when they heard the old man's shout.

Then, not knowing what happened, they ran away one after another.

Some ran to Li Chongyuan, and some ran to other places.

Those people who rushed to other places even shouted in their mouths, "Master Li, who built Quyuanli, is here."Master Li, who built Quyuanli, is here. '

moment.

The town of May was blown up.

Li Chongyuan really didn't expect it.

He built Quyuanli himself, but he became Master Li's master.

Xingba and the others saw the people running over excitedly to watch, their eyes became more vigilant, they were afraid that there would be criminals among the people.

Shortly after.

A group of people came to a house.

As soon as Li Chongyuan entered the courtyard, the old man called his wife and his sons and heirs, and even brought an old wooden stool for Li Chongyuan. After wiping it again and again, he invited Li Chongyuan sit down.

Not a moment later.

After the people of Wangyue Town heard the news, more and more people rushed to the old man's house, and in a short while, the house was crowded.

And that Li Zheng, after hearing the news, quickly ran into the house.

After a salutation, everyone looked at Li Chongyuan with excitement, and apart from excitement, there was reverence in their eyes.

All kinds of words are endless.

Of course, most of the questions were basically around Qu Yuanli.

And Li Chongyuan, also based on the concept of being close to the people, told the people all kinds of details about Quyuanli one by one.

And after Li Chongyuan talked about Qu Yuanli, some people who had doubts about Li Chongyuan's identity disappeared immediately.

From Li Chongyuan's words, they heard it.

Li Chongyuan, the inventor of the quyuanli, is most familiar with the functions of the quyuanli, how to use it, and how to use it in various environments.

After a few words, even those who are skeptical are convinced.

Whether it is the structure of Quyuanli or its construction, who is familiar with Li Chongyuan?

In words.

Li Chongyuan even introduced to the common people how to use hardwood to make plowshares, saying that it can save money, labor hours, and even labor.

As it gets dark.

All the people are still in high spirits, and they are unwilling to leave.

When it was finally time for help, Li Chongyuan embraced the head of Wuyue Town and all the people and said, "Everyone, it's already dark. If you have any questions, why don't you talk about it tomorrow?"

"What Master Li said is that Master Li must be tired and hungry when he came to Wuyue Town. Everyone should go back first and bring some food to Master Li. We all listen to Master Li. No matter what, Master Li is here. Let’s go to Wuyue Town, we can’t wait for Master Li.” The chief hurriedly addressed the people.

As soon as the head of the village spoke, all the people immediately dispersed, saying that they were going to get some delicious food for Master Li.

What did you say that you want to go home and kill a chicken to send it over.

Someone said to go home and get a piece of bacon to prepare and send it.

Some also said they wanted to go home and cook a bowl of dry rice for Li Chongyuan and the others to eat.

In short.

Say anything.

This made Li Chongyuan, Xingba and the others all very surprised, and waved their hands repeatedly to say no.

But what Li Chongyuan and the others said didn't have any effect.

On the other hand, at this time, the old man's wife and daughter-in-law went straight into the stove without saying a word, and came out with five smoked hares, saying that they wanted to cook a very delicious smoked rabbit for Li Chongyuan and the others.

Li Chongyuan uttered a voice to stop it, but the old man's wife and daughter-in-law started boiling water directly, regardless of Li Chongyuan's opinions.

Ok.

Li Chongyuan really had nothing to say, so he just sat down.

They can't let a group of old men pull two women, if this is really the case, then there will be fun in this excitement.

finally.

Li Chongyuan can only be respected and loved by these common people.

A piece of Qu Yuanli, however, caused Li Chongyuan to accept the courtesy with some shame.

And Li Chongyuan also enjoys being loved by the people, or more down-to-earth.

"Xingba, write down the people who delivered the food later, and when we leave, each family will leave some money." Li Chongyuan knew that he couldn't stop the people, so he had to whisper to Xingba.

Xingba smiled, "Xiao Langjun, let's leave some money, I'm afraid they won't accept it."

"If you don't take it, you won't keep it in secret. Don't tell me you have to give it up." Li Chongyuan gave Xingba a blank look, and felt that Xingba was laughing at him.

Xing Bamian nodded his head strongly, accepting this difficult task.

Giving money for meals is a matter of course.

and.

Li Chongyuan can be sure that the dishes that these people will send in a while must be the big dishes that they seldom eat a few times a year.

There are nearly 20 people in my group, and it is estimated that I can eat a lot.

Li Chongyuan would feel very sorry if he didn't leave some money.

The hearts of the people are good, no matter where the people are, the hearts are good.

As long as you treat them well, they will treat you with the highest enthusiasm, even with all their heart and soul.

not far away.

Several children in the old man's house huddled together, staring at Li Chongyuan and the others like monkeys.

On the other hand, he was wearing some shabby clothes, and his feet were empty.
