Zhang San's nose was almost crooked with anger. Is the relationship between her and her family? Didn't you know that there are two girls in the family? Two old and disrespectful guys.
"Last time I heard from Fang Qing that you were making a new type of waterwheel and plow in the village. How is the progress now?" Li Shimin asked when he saw Zhang San coming back.
"Back to the Emperor, I think these two tools can be tested today."
"Oh, since we are here today, let's stay and watch together." Li Shimin was very concerned about these two things. In other words, Li Shimin was very concerned about everything that was beneficial to the country and people's livelihood, especially farming.
The main thing that troubles Li Shimin now is that successive years of war have led to the decline of people's livelihood and the subsequent emptiness of the national treasury.
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhang San had no choice but to agree, but today's plan to take his little sister to visit the new mansion fell through.
Since Li Shimin wanted to stay, Zhang San had no choice but to ask Xiaomei and Xiaoyu to come back to cook, and he accompanied Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling for a walk in the village.
On the way back, the two girls heard from Zhang San that there were important guests at home and asked Xiaoyu and the girl to cook more dishes today.
When the two returned home, they saw a middle-aged man who was dignified and not angry, and two or three domestic servants. They thought that this man had a higher status than Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, wouldn't that?
Thinking of this, the two of them didn't dare to think about it anymore. After a quick greeting, they ran into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Since Li Shimin had previously ordered Zhang San not to reveal his identity, he could only call himself Li Erlang. Zhang San complained about this title.
Zhang San and Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and several servants brought by Li Shimin came to Zhang Jin's house in the village. At this time, Zhang Jin was sorting out the waterwheel parts to see if there were any missing ones. People in the Tang Dynasty generally only ate
Two meals. At this time, except for Zhang San and others who eat three meals a day and start cooking, the others are still working hard.
Seeing Zhang San coming home with a few people, Zhang Jin greeted Zhang San enthusiastically: "Sir, I have already made all the parts needed for the waterwheel you mentioned, and Zhang Dazhuang has also
The gears and other parts you mentioned were delivered. They can be brought to the Weishui River for assembly at any time."
"Thank you for your hard work. These are my guests, Li Erlang and Fang Erlang." Zhang San said to Zhang Jin. When he came, Fang Xuanling also arranged a number for himself and followed Li Shimin's name.
The two of them also greeted Zhang Jin politely. Seeing the two of them and the servants behind them, Zhang Jin also knew that the two of them were of high status. He had seen Fang Xuanling at Zhang San's house last time, so Zhang Jin was a little panicked for a while.
Bring it into the house.
Zhang San noticed Zhang Jin's restraint, and after exchanging a few words, he took the curious Li Shimin to the next shop, Zhang Dazhuang, to see Qu Yuanli.
On the way, Li Shimin praised Zhang San: "Did you come up with all of this?"
Li Shimin became more and more curious about Zhang San about those seemingly simple but very complicated waterwheel parts.
"Yes, when I'm at home, I like to tinker with small things to make the emperor... Erlang laugh." Zhang San replied.
Zhang Sanyi couldn't get used to the title Li Shimin for a while.
After arriving at Zhang Dazhuang's home, the scene just now happened again. After a brief exchange of greetings with Zhang Dazhuang, Li Shimin once again turned over and over again like a commoner who had never seen the world, looking at the new type of curved shaft plow, marveling at it.
Zhang San admires Li Shimin's approach of treating everyone as if he is the master. Somehow, he thinks that the whole world belongs to him, or he is just thick-skinned. Zhang San thinks it is the latter, and he does what he does.
The owner, Zhang Dazhuang, was as restrained and nervous as Zhang Jin. Although he didn't know the other person, he had met Fang once.
Zhang San then said to Li Shimin who was squatting next to Quyuli and messing around with Fang Xuanling: "Erlang, we have been out for a while. The meal should have been prepared at home. We should go back to eat first. After the meal
How about we go to the fields and the river together to experiment with these two tools?"
"Very good, let's go, let's go back to eat quickly, and we can do experiments after eating." Li Shimin said to Zhang San excitedly, said hello to Zhang Dazhuang, and then followed Zhang San home for dinner with Fang Xuanling.
"Huh, I'm finally gone. It makes me feel uncomfortable all over." Zhang Dazhuang didn't realize that he was already sweating. Under the strong aura of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, even Zhang San felt a little uncomfortable, let alone
People like Zhang Dazhuang.
Back home, Xiaomei and Xiaoyu had prepared meals, including seven dishes, an egg soup and a large bowl of rice. Looking at the delicious, delicious and tasty meals, Li Er praised: "These two ladies are so good at cooking.
I could smell the fragrance even before I entered the door.”
Hearing Li Shimin's praise, the two women blushed slightly, said a few polite words, and hid in the kitchen.
Each of the servants picked up a bowl of rice and some vegetables and squatted in the courtyard to eat. During this period, someone was preparing to taste the food for Li Shimin, but Li Shimin waved his hand and refused.
Although he is the emperor, Li Shimin rarely dines at other people's homes. He usually entertains others by himself. After all, inviting the emperor to dinner requires a lot of pressure. What if the emperor dines at your house?
But the whole family will lose their heads.
Although Zhang San didn't think so much, he arranged for the two of them to sit down and started to feast. After all, Zhang San was already hungry after working for a long time.
"Zhang San, when are you going to move to the county man's house?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Zhang San took a mouthful of rice and replied: "I will pack it up tomorrow and prepare to move in the day after tomorrow. To be honest, my home is a bit too small to live in now. I live in a tent every day and I have already had enough."
.”
Li Shimin saw the tent in the courtyard and said with a smile: "You are the only county man who lives in a tent!"
"There is no other way. We can't squeeze into the room with two girls." Zhang San spread his hands.
"The girl named Xiaoyu must be the girl you bought at Pingkangfang. I thought it was because you couldn't bear the loneliness." Fang Xuanling joked at the side.
Li Shimin also laughed. Zhang San bought a brothel girl from Pingkangfang and went home. Before Zheng Yushi impeached Li Shimin, he already knew through Baiqisi that emperors have monitored their courtiers to varying degrees since ancient times.
Zhang San is naturally no exception.
"The prime minister was joking. I just thought that Xiaoyu had a pitiful background, so I thought of bringing her back to keep my sister company."
"Hehehe, the Zhang County man is also an adult. Do you have a crush on any girl?" Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Zhang San suddenly thought of Fang Keying's quiet and spiritual figure.
"Could it be that I have fallen in love with her?" Zhang San asked in his heart.
"My family was originally poor, so how could any woman like me? Now, thanks to the emperor's attention, I am what I am today. I want to repay the emperor's kindness and contribute to the construction of the Tang Dynasty.
Now I don’t care about my children’s private affairs.”
Zhang San's words were high-sounding. Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's good that you have such a heart, and my respect for you is not in vain."
"I heard that you also made a maltose candy. Why didn't you take us to see it today? Are you afraid that we will eat yours?" Li Shimin said immediately.
"If the Emperor and the Prime Minister like it, I will give you some to try after I make it another day. Today, the main reason is that there is no construction there, so I will not take you to see it." Zhang San explained with a smile.
Later, the topic naturally returned to the water wheel and the plow. Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling couldn't wait to see the experiments of these tools immediately. Zhang San had no choice but to pick at it a few more times and accompany them to a farmland on the edge of the Wei River.
.
Cun Zheng and other villagers had already arrived here, waiting for Zhang San's arrival. Seeing Zhang San and a few people arriving, Cun Zheng and Zhang San briefly exchanged greetings with each other, and then asked Zhang Jin to bring a few people.
Members of the carpentry team assemble a waterwheel.
