As the Quyuli incident unfolded, various government offices throughout the Tang Dynasty began to get busy.
Any small matter, as long as it involves the entire Tang Dynasty, will be very troublesome.
What's more, although the plow is just a farm tool, it is related to millions of people in the world and the national grain depot, so it is certainly not a trivial matter.
Hundreds of states and counties in the Tang Dynasty had to promote the Quyuan plow, which required the cooperation of various government agencies.
Anyway, within a month or two, all the officials couldn't calm down.
…
The Duke's Mansion of Wei!
After hearing the news, Lawyer Pei hurried back from Lantian County.
"Aye, is the Quyuan plow really that useful? It can speed up farmers' farming by half?"
"This matter is indeed true. I have also plowed a circle myself. The curved shaft plow does have that effect!"
Pei Ji said slowly.
"In this way, it is indeed a weapon to enrich the country!"
Lawyer Pei's face was filled with joy.
Then, thinking about the news he heard, he couldn't help but frown slightly, his face full of depression.
"It's just that this plow is obviously the work of Aye and I, but His Majesty actually handed over the promotion of Quyuan Plow to Zhao Guogong!"
"Hmph, how can you, a mere county magistrate, rashly guess His Majesty's thoughts?"
Hearing this, Pei Ji's face darkened and he glared at Lawyer Pei fiercely.
"There is nothing to do in your county office? Why did you come back to your house again?"
"I'm just worried about Aye!"
Pei Ji said quickly.
"I'm in good health, why should you worry?"
"Go back to your county office as soon as possible and handle the government affairs well. That's the most important thing!"
"yes!"
"In addition, you are not allowed to reveal anything about the young master and Qu Yuuli to anyone."
"ah?"
"This is the intention of the young Master and Your Majesty!"
"yes!"
…
at the same time.
In the main hall in the backyard of Wannian County Government Office.
Wannian County Magistrate Zheng Yunde sat at the head of the table, with wine and food on the table.
Behind the table on the left is a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"I haven't seen my eighth brother for many years, but I didn't expect that my eighth brother would be reused by the head of the family. I'm really envious of you!"
As he said that, Zheng Yunde took the lead in raising his wine glass and said, "Brother Eight is here for a rare visit today. I must have a few drinks with Brother Eight!"
"Haha, how can my 19th brother be so carefree! If he is in charge of a county alone, he will definitely be promoted in two years!"
A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, he raised his glass slightly and drank.
Immediately, his expression condensed and he said directly: "This time, I came to see my 19th brother for something important!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zheng Yunde quickly looked at the middle-aged man.
"Brother Eight, please tell me in detail!"
"I don't know my 19th brother, but do I know the Quyuanli?"
"Of course I know about this. The Ministry of Household Affairs has already issued one to me. I personally tested it and found that it is indeed a useful tool for plowing. But unfortunately, I don't know who invented it.
"
Speaking of this, Zheng Yunde couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
As early as when he started to promote the Quyuan plow, Changsun Wuji first distributed one to the prefectures and counties around Chang'an. At the same time, he also distributed drawings one after another.
In particular, Wannian, Lantian, Xinfeng and other counties received Quyuan plows and drawings from the Ministry of Revenue on the third day!
"The family received news that before Qu Yuuli appeared, the man in the palace and the Duke of Wei frequently visited Chang'an City for several days."
The middle-aged man said.
Hearing this, Zheng Yunde narrowed his eyes slightly, "Eighth brother, you mean the one in the palace and Mr. Pei?"
"Exactly!"
"How can this be?"
Zheng Yunde looked stunned.
As a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, even though he is only a county magistrate for ten thousand years, he still knows some things between the man in the palace and Wei Guoguang Pei Ji.
"That's why some people in the family were curious and discovered something that concerned everyone!"
"What's the matter?"
Zheng Yunde's face was full of curiosity.
"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with my Nineteenth Brother!"
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said: "Some people in the family investigated out of curiosity and discovered that as early as the day before, Lawyer Pei, the magistrate of Lantian County next door, often came to a small mountain village in Jiudi County. Then, in Pei
After the lawyer returned to the Duke of Wei's mansion, the next day, Duke Wei ignored his waist ailment and went to the small mountain village in Nineteenth Brother County.
Moreover, the one from the palace came at the same time. They stayed there until night before they went back. However, after entering Chang'an City, they went directly to the prison of the Shaofu in the west of the city.
As a result, the next day, these people went to the small mountain village again. Before going, these people also went to the Shaofu Prison.
There was obviously a lot of stuff in the car.
And the next day after returning, Qu Yuanli appeared in the palace!"
After saying that, Zheng Yunde understood without the middle-aged man reminding him.
"What do you mean, eighth brother, that Quyuanli came from Wannian County, which is under the jurisdiction of my younger brother?"
After saying that, Zheng Yunde still couldn't believe it.
"There is no other possibility!"
"I'm so angry that Lawyer Pei doesn't stay well in his Lantian County. He keeps secretly trying to get my attention from Wannian County, and he openly steals my younger brother's credit!"
"However, he didn't expect that based on what happened between him and the person in the palace, not only the credit, but also the hard work was not rewarded!"
After comforting himself, Zheng Yunde remembered something and quickly looked at the middle-aged man, "Eighth brother, I wonder what the elders in the family mean?"
"This matter is the opportunity for the promotion of the 19th brother, and it is also an opportunity for the family name to be spread all over the world!"
"Eighth brother wants me to go find that great sage?"
"Exactly!"
"I wonder if Eighth Brother knows where that small mountain village is and what its name is?"
"At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, on the edge of the Jinghe River, it's called Lijiazhuang..."
After lunch.
A carriage drove out from the Wannian County government office, surrounded by a group of servants, and quickly headed to Lijiazhuang.
Inside the car, there was a faint voice of disbelief.
"Eighth brother, if we really find that great sage, do the elders of the family really plan to let that person marry me, the Zheng family in Xingyang?"
"nature!"
"What if this person is already an octogenarian?"
"This matter is no longer ours to control..."
"..."
Then, other topics came up in the car.
However, unbeknownst to this convoy, when they left Wannian County and were still more than ten miles away from Lijiazhuang.
Then there was a horse riding towards Chang'an City quickly.
…
Lijiazhuang!
"Uncle Sixth, another convoy has arrived!"
Still the same words.
However, now, Uncle Six was no longer so frightened by these words.
Standing on the hillside with Li Dazhu, he watched the convoy below slowly drive into Lijiazhuang, and then hurriedly greeted it.
"Little old man Li Xigui pays homage to these two noble men!"
When he saw Zheng Yunde and two people getting off the car, Uncle Six's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Zheng Mingde, Zheng Yunde has met my father-in-law!"
Similarly, when Zheng Yunde and his two brothers saw their sixth uncle, their eyes lit up.
They looked at each other and saw the joy on each other's faces.
He quickly stepped forward and personally helped his sixth uncle up.
