Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 52
"Yizhi, Yiai, when you have the chance, you should get closer to Dalang from Shubao's family."

When Fang Xuanling returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to call his two sons to him.

The matter of going to test Zhenguan Li outside the city today gave him a big shock.

On the one hand, everyone is happy that Datang has added a farming tool.

The popularity of the Zhenguan plow alone is expected to increase the arable land area of ​​Datang by [-] to [-] percent.

It greatly increased the yield of some fields due to insufficient cattle and very simple farming.

On the other hand, Fang Xuanling had a new understanding of Qin Xiedao's flattering skills.

If it weren't for Qin Xiedao's ability, he would definitely be a standard courtier.

Fang Xuanling couldn't imagine how Qin Shubao, who was so righteous, would give birth to such a glib son?

If it weren't for the two people's very similar looks, Fang Xuanling would doubt their blood relationship.

"Aye, a while ago, Auntie specially taught us that I should stay away from that Qin Xie and never get mixed up with him."

Fang Yiai looks very powerful, she doesn't look like Fang Xuanling at all.

"Your aunt is telling you not to follow Qin Xiedao's example and secretly take the items at home to the warehouse as collateral, and then do inexplicable things."

Fang Xuanling naturally knew the background behind Fang Yiai's words.

In fact, in Chang'an City, many honorable families used Qin Xiedao as a negative teaching material for educating their children.

It's just that this negative textbook has not been used for many days, and it seems that there is no way to use it.

"Aye, in the past few days, many people in Chang'an City have been discussing the matter of Qin Dalang sending people to the grassland to buy wool. Could there be some deep meaning behind this?"

Fang Yizhi's character is somewhat similar to Fang Xuanling's, and he looks very stable.

Although there is no way to compare with Fang Xuanling in terms of talent, it can be regarded as the most brilliant among the noble children.

"I don't know about this matter as a father. However, I will tell you this today, and it has nothing to do with wool. Qin Dalang is a talent, and he once saved His Majesty's life, so he is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

The most important thing is that this guy is very capable, and His Majesty seems to like it very much. "

Fang Xuanling briefly explained what happened today to his two sons.

Then he expressed his opinion.

This can also be regarded as the practice of many ministers in the court to cultivate the sons of the family.

……

"This Qin Xiedao, how shameless! But His Majesty still likes his appearance very much."

It was the opposite of Fang Xuanling's reaction.When Changsun Wuji returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but curse.

All along, he felt that he was the best at trying to figure out Li Shimin's mind.

But today he discovered that this was not the case.

That Qin Shubao, who is obviously so upright, why did he have such a son as Qin Xiedao?

What Zhenguanli, this flattery is too exaggerated, right?

It is still the ninth year of Wude, and next year will be the first year of Zhenguan.

As a result, Qin Xiedao had already figured out Zhenguanli.

With the performance of the plow today, it will definitely be a classic in the history of agricultural development, and it will become a must-have plow for all farmers in the Tang Dynasty.

This also means that it can be passed down for a long time and entered into many history books.

No wonder Li Shimin couldn't hide the smile on his face after being stunned for a moment today.

"Aye. Then did Qin Xiedao do something outrageous?"

Chang Sun Chong was surprised to find that Aye had lost his composure today.

This surprised him.

"Chong'er, when you have time, you should go to the palace to find His Majesty more, play with Gao Ming and Qing Que more, don't dismiss him because he is too young."

Thinking of his somewhat lofty son, Changsun Wuji felt angry.

Chang Sun Chong:? ? ?

what's going on?
Aren't you talking about Qin Xiedao?

Why did he suddenly involve himself again?

Weird.

……

The Qin family started building a huge workshop outside the city.

Said to be used for processing wool.

This made the noble people who were about to watch the fun feel even more amusing.

However, before everyone really laughed at Qin Xiedao, the Zhenguanli that began to appear outside Chang'an City quickly attracted the attention of the common people.

"Second Uncle, the imperial court is now doing its best to promote a new type of plow called Zhenguan plow to various counties and counties. Some farmers outside Chang'an City have already begun to use it. I heard that this Zhenguan plow was designed by Qin Dalang."

Inside Ma's warehouse, Ma Biao stood in front of Ma Youcai, talking about some interesting things he had learned.

Although Ma Youcai is quite rich, he has no son under his knees.

He basically raised Ma Biao as his nephew.

"Did Qin Dalang really make that Zhenguan plow? I've heard several people talk about it."

Ma has money and does not farm land. Although he has some fertile land in his family, they are all leased to others.

So he didn't pay much attention to the matter of Zhen Guanli before.

"It's likely to be like this. I heard that Qin Dalang personally took His Majesty and important officials in the court to try the Zhenguan plow in the field a while ago.

A while ago, he mortgaged his white sugar shop and Baiyunbian shop to our warehouse in order to buy wool on the grassland in exchange for money.

Before that, I had little faith in the value of wool.

But now that Qin Xiedao has made such a fuss, I think wool might really be able to make some tricks and make warm clothes. "

Ma Biao's vision is still good.

From Qin Xiedao's actions, he guessed that the wool might really bring something different to everyone.

"If that's the case, it would be a pity."

"what?"

"Think about it, if Qin Xiedao's purchase of wool was not a prodigal act, then wouldn't the white sugar shop and Baiyunbian shop he mortgaged in our quality warehouse have no chance of falling into our hands?"

Ma Youcai has opened a quality warehouse for many years, but he has done nothing less than engulfing customers' assets.

In fact, the quality library is actually a pawnshop for later generations.

And most people don't pawn things in pawnshops at all.

Only when you are really short of money will you do this.

At this time, it often means that he will not have the opportunity to pay back the money in time in the future.

The things that are mortgaged at a low price naturally become the property of the warehouse.

At this time, they sell things to those in need, and they can make a fortune immediately.

For most quality libraries, this part of the income is the main income.

"This... this is true."

Ma Biao was refreshed by his second uncle.

Only then did I realize that when it came to doing business, I was still not dark enough.
