Chapter 11 If you want to buy it, you have to take the money
Li Eryi was shocked when he heard this. Could this be the legendary Versailles?
This kind of invisible pretense really makes people feel unprepared.
Speaking of plowing the land, isn't it hoped that it can be lighter and more convenient for plowing deeply?
Why did this sound so relaxed and joyful when he said it in his mouth?
Li Er knew that if other people said these words, they would tend to be pretentious.
But what my good brother said must be true.
"My dear brother, I want to discuss something with you."
As if he had made some kind of important decision, Li Er rubbed his hands vigorously and looked at Zhao Mu with expectant eyes.
"You don't want to take advantage of my Zhuangzi's plow stick, do you?"
Li Er smiled awkwardly.
As if his little thoughts were suddenly grasped by someone, he nodded.
"You do have some discernment. I invented this plow stick last year.
It was only put into use in our Zhuangzi this year. I didn’t expect you to discover it?
Now that I've been discovered by you, it's fate.
I can send you the drawings."
The joy on Li Er's little face showed directly, he was right to come to Zhaojiazhuang today.
Zhao Mu stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of him.
"Brother Xian, what you mean is that you not only want to give us the drawings.
You want to give me 5 plow sticks as a gift? Why is this a bit embarrassing!"
Everyone has given me the blueprints, but I still need to give myself the plow.
Li Er always feels bad about taking advantage of others like this!
When Li Er finished speaking, Zhao Mu glanced at him with disdain.
"This thing of mine was invented and created by me for the use of my Zhuangzi people.
Logically speaking, it took me countless brain cells and countless days and nights to develop this.
Are you dreaming about marrying a wife and thinking about such a good thing?
My five fingers are talking about 5,000 guan of money. If you are a child, you will not be deceived. 5,000 guan."
5000 Guan?
The corner of Li Er's mouth couldn't help but tremble, and he smiled awkwardly.
Just a small plow stick is worth 5,000 sticks. This is too much.
Why did my good brother fall into the eyes of money?
You don’t think I want more money, do you?
How can it be done, how can it be done!
"If I hadn't looked at you and you were still honest, I would have asked for at least 10,000 yuan.
Today, this curved shaft plow stick is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty.
And if you take the drawings over, you can send craftsmen to build them and sell them.
At the same time, you can also submit this drawing to your sponsor.
By that time, you will have both fame and fortune.
I don’t feel like I’m losing money on this kind of business, but you feel like you’re giving too much money?”
Ah? This?
Dear brother.
Li Er was seen sighing heavily.
"Brother, I don't know, it's not that I don't want to buy this thing.
But I don’t know whether this plow stick is useful or not, whether it’s good for business, or not.”
"Yes, I understand all these principles. When doing business, brothers settle accounts.
Whether something is good or bad, you must at least try it. Follow me."
The group of people came to an open space outside Zhuangzi. Zhao Mu arranged for people to get plow sticks and plow oxen, and tested it personally in the open space.
After comparing an ordinary plow stick with the curved shaft plow stick, Li Er's heart surged again.
Especially after I personally experienced it, I deeply realized that these 5,000 pieces were rarely sold.
The virtuous brother is benevolent and righteous for the sake of the people of the world. Why should he accept his own money?
It turned out that I wanted to use my own hands to help the people of the world, but I thought wrong. I am really ashamed.
"Young brother, I really admire Lao Li for your kindness and righteousness.
But I didn’t bring any money with me today. Can I go back and prepare some money?
Come here when the money is ready?"
"It doesn't matter, I believe you."
While talking, Zhao Mu arranged for someone to bring the blueprints over, and then brought him a plow stick newly made by a blacksmith for him to take back with him.
"My dear brother Renyi, after I, Old Li, have prepared the money, I will personally deliver the money."
With this blueprint and this iron tool, Li Er could not wait to leave Zhaojiazhuang.
Go to the palace and have someone build it properly.
Take advantage of this time to build more and spread it to cities in all directions.
When spring comes next year, people in the surrounding area can use it, thereby improving the efficiency of planting.
After seeing the two of them leaving, Linglong asked.
"Master, didn't you say that this plow stick is going to be given to the county magistrate?
Why did you sell it to him?"
"It doesn't matter. There is no conflict between these two things. Send it to the county magistrate and let him promote it throughout the county.
In order to help the people of the county, if we give him Lao Li, won't we also be able to make more money?"
"It's Young Master. Young Master, do you think this Shopkeeper Li is the same as the people we met before?
They hacked our stuff and didn’t give us any money?”
"Ah,
I hope he doesn't do anything wrong.
If he does something wrong, the price he pays is not something that just anyone can afford."
The murderous intent flashed across Zhao Mu's body, and Yao Linglong seemed to remember the heavy price those people had paid for hacking his young master a few times before.
"Okay, Linglong, come fishing with me."
"It's the young master."
…
Drive, drive, drive.
Li Er and Chang Sun Wuji got into the carriage and galloped towards Chang'an City.
At this moment, they wished they could grow a pair of wings and rush to Chang'an City immediately.
"Your Majesty, now that we have a new type of plow stick, it will make our Tang Dynasty even more powerful."
"Yes, with this new plow stick, if we wait for next spring, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will have one.
In this way, more fields can be cultivated, which means more crops will be grown.
In autumn, there will be more food."
This tight connection made Li Er's heart excited and his trembling hands unable to contain his mood at this moment.
"Auxiliary machine, this brother Zhao Xian really came from heaven to save my country, the Tang Dynasty, and came to assist me."
"Your Majesty is devoted to the people, and that is why he was moved by heaven. God sent down such talented people to help your majesty.
Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."
"You flatter me in a timely manner.
It's just a small thing, but it cost me 5,000 yuan?
These 5,000 coins should be paid out of the national treasury."
