Datang Longya

Chapter 698 Smuggling
The old man quickly waved his hand: "How can this be possible? You and the young master and the young lady are both precious people, so how can you help the old man with such low-level work!"

Leng Feng smiled helplessly.

He is the owner of Tianxia Manor, to put it simply, he is the landlord, but he has never oppressed these commoners.

"What is low-level work? Officials earn money with pens, and ordinary people earn money with sickles. They are all hands-on jobs. There is no distinction between high and low."

Regardless of old Zhangtou's obstruction, Leng Feng went out of Zhuangzi with him to mow grass by the small river.

Leng Feng mowed the grass, Leng Jing and Lao Zhangtou gathered the grass together, and tied it up again.As for Leng Yuewu, she was holding a handkerchief and waiting to wipe her father's sweat.

It was not until the sun came out that the cold front mowed the grass.

There are so many of them, and what they mow is young grass. There are two big bundles and one small bundle, which is just enough for three men to carry.Leng Yuewu, who had always been empty-handed, did not continue to be lazy, but picked up a small bundle, not caring that the dew and mud would stain her clothes.

That's very good, Leng Feng has always wanted to raise his children into noble sons and daughters, only those who are willing to bend down to work can truly survive starvation under any circumstances.

The gate of the manor was full of people who went home to have breakfast after going out to work, and when they saw Leng Feng and Lao Zhangtou, they all came up to say hello.At the same time, I was also surprised that the owner of the village actually did the work.

In their eyes before, although the owner of the villa was a kind person, he should also be an official and grand lord who did not touch the spring water with his fingers.The current appearance has subverted their imagination.

He carried the grass all the way back to Lao Zhangtou's house, and the three of them, the father and son, were still kept by Lao Zhangtou for dinner.

Today, the households of Tianxia Manor live in brick houses, not to mention simple. As for what they eat, they also eat millet porridge, which is still thick.

Because of the cold front, Lao Zhangtou even asked his grandson-in-law to fry a plate of eggs. This kind of dish is only available in his family during the holidays.The usual eggs and the like were sent to Chang'an City for sale.

"Nowadays, I didn't dare to think about it before. Eating three meals a day is simply a crime. The old man is now in his eighties, and the days when he can eat thick millet porridge are few and far between, let alone eggs. "

Old Zhangtou took out a jug of wine and poured Leng Feng a glass.

After Leng Feng declined, he drank by himself in small sips.

"Actually, it's nothing. The output in the field is high, the tax collected by the court is less, and your hands are not idle. In addition to farming, you also farm and work. It's strange that life is not good."

The old Zhangtou opened his toothless mouth and laughed.

A child of seven or eight years old came over, holding his job bowl and acting like a baby with old Zhangtou, but old Zhangtou had no choice but to give him some eggs.

After dismissing his little grandson, the old Zhang couldn't help but said: "It stands to reason that the poor man like the old man shouldn't have such thoughts. But, my lord, can my child really be admitted to the Academy of Arts, or even become an official? "

Leng Feng nodded: "Why not? The imperial examination system has expanded, and more and more children from poor families will have the opportunity to become officials. Moreover, as long as your grandson studies hard, he will be the first in the graduation examination of the Academy of Arts." Ha ha, not to mention the imperial examinations, at that time there were important officials from the imperial court who came to the Academy of Arts to ask for people.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether to be an official, but what kind of official you want to be. "

The old Zhangtou opened his mouth: "Really?"

Leng Feng said seriously: "Of course it is true!"

During the final exam of the Faculty of Arts last year, there was a prodigy who graduated at the age of 14 - Zhang Jianzhi, who achieved a slam in all subjects.Even the emperor was alarmed by such achievements, and personally issued an edict to praise him.

Later, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others went to the Academy of Arts to meet him in person, intending to accept him as a subordinate.In the end, this guy went to Qingyuan County to become the county magistrate without saying a word.

A genius cannot be so stupid as to not be a county magistrate.During this incident, Leng Feng smelled a strong smell of dragons.

It could only be Li Shimin who made him willing to be the county magistrate.

There is no need to think about the doorways, and it will give you a headache if you think about it.

After breakfast, Leng Feng went home and prepared to leave.

Leng Jing absolutely cannot stay as a proton, so leaving Chang'an, there is only one way left - smuggling.

Chang'an City seems to be very ordinary, but in fact, whether it is the downtown area or the darkest civilian area, there are Li Shimin's eyeliner.

The emperor spread an intricate web in Chang'an City like a crypt spider, and it was simply delusional to want to leave quietly in his spider web.

The Dragon Tooth Army was the first to leave.

Although the Dragon Tooth Army will be reported to the emperor if they want to leave Chang'an, they can divert the eyes of those spies a little bit.

Soon, the Dragon Tooth Army left the martial arts academy in a mighty manner, deliberately passed the Chang'an city wall, and left in the sight of many people.

After the Dragon Tooth Army left, Li Tai and Li Ke also rushed to Leng Mansion with their own people.

Li Tai asked straight to the point: "Master, you said we are going to sneak away? How are we going?"

Leng Feng withdrew his gaze from the map and said, "Of course there is a way, so you just follow it honestly. After we leave Chang'an, the first stop is Dengzhou. Do you have confidence in building an iron-clad ship?"

Li Tai shook his head: "I'm not confident, but, nothing in this world is so sure. Especially research, take the steam engine as an example, I thought it was successful several times, but it turned out that there was a problem here or there, annoying dead."

Leng Feng smiled, in fact, scientific research is like this.For research, at least there is a clear goal, knowing that it will succeed in the end.And scientific exploration is purely riding a mule to find a horse. Sometimes you can find a horse;

Ironclad ships should not be that difficult, at least offshore cruises and wars are not a problem.In ancient China, no matter which dynasty paid much attention to the sovereignty of sea areas, this also led to the emergence of Japanese pirates.If the sea area has been controlled since the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that after thousands of years, no one would dare to clamor about who the island is.

After Lao Li led people to move all the things out, Leng Feng asked Li Tai and Li Ke's men to load all the things into the carriage and head straight for Fengshui.

Chang'an was eight years old, and he walked around Chang'an when he was eight years old.

But at this time, no one cared about these rivers, and they used them as drinking water sources.At most, that is, some brothels set up a painting boat to attract guests in an ingenious way.

However, Fan Zhuo discovered this business opportunity.Bashui is the most natural transportation channel as long as the river is cleaned up.

Fan Zhui, who has grasped this point, has made a lot of money by relying on river transportation from the beginning of the operation to the present, and his wealth is enviable.
