Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 164;

Chapter 160 Five

Situ Yunsha asked curiously; "I don't know what kind of field you want to plant in the newly purchased field, is it corn or wheat?"

Hearing Situ mention this, Li Yu's energy immediately increased; "When my lord has finished setting up the fields, he will plant all the rice."

"Full rice? Although there are wetlands in the Guanzhong area, it is still a product of the south. It is still unknown whether the farmers in the village can take good care of them. Why did you make such a decision?"

Wang Kexin couldn't help but interject

Li Yu explained triumphantly; "My lady doesn't know that rice is grown in the south, and every family grows it. It is rare in the north, so the common people mistakenly think that rice is only suitable for the land of southerners.
Little do we know that our blue field can also be planted. Although it is not as good as three crops a year in the south, it is still possible to crop twice a year.

The service is good, every August and November, each can harvest once.

Waiting for Mr. Ben to try to plant two or three stubbles, and understand the growth habits of rice in Lantian,
Perhaps after the second harvest, one season of wheat can be planted immediately, and then one mu of land can be harvested three times a year.

It's just that farmers and common people have to be more busy. "

"Three seasons of crops? Don't you want to lie to my servant, sir, can this field be planted three times a year?"

"Of course, this is the case in theory. For the specific situation, it needs to go through experiments. I am also guessing in my heart whether it will work. I will know after trying it in the next year."

Wang Kexin's father went out to be an official, and she followed her all the time, and she had seen and heard more than ordinary people.

It is not surprising to hear that crops can be grown three times a year.

"Sister, don't be surprised. When I went out with Aye, I heard that the rice planted by the southerners can be harvested three times a year. The southerners have no shortage of food.

It’s just that in Lantian, it’s unlikely that the third cook is likely, but as Mr. Lang said, the service is good, and the second cook is not an exaggeration.

Just planting another season of wheat, I am afraid it will work, and the output will not be much. "

"There is some truth in what the lady said. Two crops can be achieved if you think about it, just plant another season of wheat. I'm afraid it will be very difficult, but it's not too important.
As long as the rice is ripened twice, the output has already exceeded too much, so there is no need to worry about whether to plant wheat or not.
If it is really not possible, one season of wheat and one season of rice is also possible. Flexibility is the kingly way.Don't get too rigid. "

The two women kept nodding their heads in agreement.

As soon as the chatter stopped, the maid Qiu Ju led the servants to serve the meal.
The three of them sat down respectively, and after using some meat and vegetables, they began to exchange cups, and the atmosphere slowly became lively again.

After lunch, Li Yu habitually returned to his room and fell asleep.

Without a good body, how to enjoy the glory and wealth?Li Yu attaches great importance to the way of keeping in good health.

So he has always maintained the habit of sleeping at two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun?"

"Huh?... Why did the lady call me?"

Rubbing his eyes, Li Yu sat up.Rong Niang seldom disturbed her sleep, so she probably had something to do to wake her up today.

"Reporting to my lord, the two princes are here."

Rong Niang directed the maidservants beside her to wait for Li Yu to get up and wash up.

"What's going on? It's almost Yuanzheng (Chinese New Year), and the two uncles are not in the camp, so why did they come to Lantian?"

Li Yu muttered while getting dressed!
Of course, no one answered his question, he quickly got off the bed, washed his face again, two maids combed his hair, and hurried to the front yard.

Hurrying to the main hall, he saw Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin sitting in the middle together, and they both looked at Li Yu at the same time.

Qin Qiong was still the same, with a serious expression on his face, Cheng Yaojin shouted at the top of his voice; "Nephew, come here quickly, the certain family has been waiting for you and Uncle Qin for a long time!"

"I don't know that the two uncles are coming, and I am far away from welcoming you, so please forgive me!"

While being courteous, Li Yu quickly stepped forward to salute; "I've seen the two uncles."

"Da Lang is free. Get up and talk!"

"Nephew, don't be too polite, sit down and talk, you all go down, a certain family is discussing some important matters with your nephew, all go down, don't give orders, don't go near the main hall!"

With a loud voice, Cheng Yaojin dismissed all the servants and maids serving in the main hall.

Li Yu asked strangely; "Uncle, is there something important?"

Cheng Yaojin answered with a low voice this time; "Of course, and it's a very important matter, let brother talk about it!"

Li Yu didn't have time to sit down, so he stood there and looked at Qin Qiong again.

"Da Lang, the old man came to ask you, who made the kitchen knife you sent to my house?
Can there be rumors about its secret method?How many people know?Where did the secret method come from? "

Qin Qiong's questions came one after another like a cannonball, and Li Yu, who had just woken up, couldn't relax for a while.

However, the sound is still flat and steady, but the volume is slightly lowered.

After a pause, Li Yu answered truthfully.

"Uncle Qi, the secret method is that after reading the books on alchemy by Taoists, I became playful for a while, so I called a few blacksmiths, added some things from alchemy by Taoists, and put some carbon, and it became like that.

Those were built, and they were not made again, and only the few blacksmiths knew about them at the beginning, and they were not rumored.They are all loyal peasants, so don't worry about my uncle, my nephew told me well at the beginning. "

Hearing that there were no rumors and that only a few blacksmiths knew the secret method, the two generals also relaxed. After all, they were working for the emperor, and of course the more careful the better.

"Has Da Lang ever thought that the iron tools made by this secret method can cut iron like mud, such a sharp weapon, if I have one of the three armies, how powerful the national power and military might of the Tang Dynasty will be?

What are the three armies referring to? Who can be the enemy?Fighting against the Turkic wolf cavalry again, the odds of winning have increased a lot! "

The more Cheng Yaojin talked, the more excited he became, he finally stood up and made gestures, watching Li Yu clenched his fists and hugged his whole body.

Forehead!That's right, I didn't even think of it here, I just wanted to create a boutique that surpassed the times, so that these generals like them would know how powerful they are.

Now that Cheng Yaojin proposed to apply this iron forging method to weapons, Li Yu finally came to his senses.

No wonder Cheng Yaojin was so excited, this is the era of cold weapons, life and death battles, the comparison is whoever has the best weapon, the strongest strength, and the best body, the most likely to win.

Qin Qiong looked at Li Yu and nodded non-stop, proving that what Cheng Yaojin said was right.

"To my two uncles, my nephew wanted to make some sharp kitchen knives for the generals and uncles to use in the kitchen, lest the previous kitchen knives need to be rolled after cutting mutton for a few days, but he didn't think of this point. .

Uncle said this, nephew just thought of this point, not to mention, if all the soldiers of the three armies use this kind of weapon, it will definitely kill all directions. "

"Da Lang, take your seat first, the old man will talk to you slowly."

Qin Qiong has a steady temperament, always calm and composed.

"Yes, my nephew obeys."

An An sat down, Li Yu looked at Qin Qiong and waited for him to finish.

Qin Qiong pondered for a while before saying unhurriedly; "So that Da Lang would know, when I saw the kitchen knife and the horizontal knife, I was astonished, and I couldn't believe it, so I took a horizontal knife and tried it on the spot. , as expected, it stopped at the sound,

The old man hurriedly asked someone to report to Uncle Cheng, and the two of us hurried into the palace to report the matter to Zhizun (the emperor was called in private in the Tang Dynasty).

The Supreme One sent people to the old man's study to fetch those kitchen knives and horizontal knives, and tried them on the spot in the main hall.

Then I told the old man and you, Uncle Cheng, to come to Lantian. Neither of us dared to delay the important matter of the Supreme Being. We came here in a hurry just to explain clearly to you.

You have to hand over this secret method to the imperial court, Yu Gong, the sharp weapon of the country, and it is also the duty of the subjects of the world to be loyal to the imperial court.
In private, it will be very beneficial to Da Lang's future career.

Therefore, the old man suggested that you follow what the Supreme One said, and dedicate this secret method of forging to the imperial court. Even if you don't get a reward, you can still get the Supreme Being's peace of mind, what does Da Lang think? "

After listening to Qin Qiong's persuasion quietly, Li Yu could accept this result,
After all, in this era of cold weapons, it is impossible for you to master such an advanced secret method of forging without handing it over to the court.

If you hand it in, you may not get any benefits, but if you don't hand it in?That's not good for you at all.

In comparison of the two, a fool would choose the former.

"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew knows how powerful it is. Forging the secret method, my nephew has carefully recorded it and kept it in the study. The two uncles will wait a little longer, and my nephew will go get it in person and hand it over to the two uncles."

"Let's go, the old man is waiting here."

Seeing Li Yu leaving in a hurry, Qin Qiong stroked her beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Cheng Yaojin was also very appreciative, "Brother, this eldest brother's son is not sloppy in this principle at all. He makes a decisive decision and can understand the general situation. He has the air of a general at a young age. It is really rare!"

"However, this son is flexible and kind-hearted. If he is taught carefully, he may not fail to become a tool. If you and I train him hard, he will definitely be a pillar in the future."

Hearing that Qin Qiong valued Li Yu so much, Cheng Yaojin suddenly understood why this elder brother valued Li's family Dalang so much, he could understand it when he thought about it.

The elder brother's only son, Qin Huaidao, is only two or three years old. When he grows up, he is afraid that both of himself will be dying people.

In the future, none of these children will be able to achieve great things. How will they gain a foothold in the future?
In this imperial court, all forces are fighting against each other, and undercurrents are surging. Now that my two brothers are in high positions, they can still deter Xiaoxiao's generation.What about later?Can it last a lifetime?

"My brother understands what my elder brother is worried about. Although Chu's heir can inherit the dukedom of the country, he is more than conservative and not aggressive enough. Chu is bright, and being married to the royal family is indeed full of fun.
Chu Bi is not a man of great talent, the others are all young, and this elder brother's son just happens to take on the important task. "

"Dashan, brother, you finally figured it out. From a certain point of view, this son is not just about appearance. I'm afraid his ability has not been fully revealed. I think the old man's vision should not be much worse."

Cheng Yaojin exclaimed; "Do you still have reservations?"

"Of course!"

"This kid first made iron pot delicacies, then made Eight Immortals Table, Taishi Chair, and then made horseshoe boots, which solved the urgent need of the court.
Now that this kind of secret technique has been created, if there are reservations, then wouldn't this Li Dalang... really be a monster?
I really don't know what this big brother's son has in his head?How is it so different from children of the same age? "

You and I keep calm, the old man speculates that he will come up with many novel ideas, let's wait and see. "

The two brothers were talking when they saw Li Yu coming out from the back hall with a small book in his hand, and he knew it was bound by himself.

"Uncle, please read, my nephew has recorded all the secret methods of forging here, and this is the only one."

Qin Qiong carefully opened the small book, read it once, and put it in her arms.

"Da Lang, although there is this secret method of forging, the generals in the court are very unfamiliar. According to the old man's thinking, Da Lang still called the craftsmen who forged it,
Follow the old man to Chang'an City, stay for a period of time, and teach those who will be jailed.

It's only about a dozen days or so, and he can come back before Yuanzheng, and it won't delay Dalang much! "

"Succeed, there is no blacksmith work recently, and they are idle as well, just follow what uncle said!"

"Come on!"

Li Yi, who was waiting outside the door, hurried in, "What orders does the Patriarch have, but please ask, and the villain will do it immediately."

"Immediately send someone to inform the blacksmith Zhang Laoshi, telling him to bring his two apprentices to meet him in the mansion."

"only!"

Li Yi agreed, turned around and left.

"The two uncles must have never eaten lunch, so my nephew will go to the kitchen and make a table of noodles!"

"good"

Qin Qiong only said one word and was speechless.

Cheng Yaojin started yelling loudly again; "Get more meat and two jars of water and wine, my brother and I will have a good drink."

"Yes, nephew, let's do it now!"

"What brother said is right. This son not only has some abilities, but what is rare is that he also has a sincere filial piety. With such a natural nature, he will be able to take good care of those cubs!"

The two talked for a long time before Li Yu led a group of servants to bring a table of delicacies and filled two ceramic bowls with water and wine.

Cheng Yaojin seemed to be very hungry, so he tore off a large piece of mutton without using chopsticks, handed it to Qin Qiong, and then grabbed another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Yu sat next to him, waited for the two of them to eat for a while, picked up the wine glass, and the three of them drank it down in one gulp.

After they had eaten and drank enough, the two of them did not stay, and they left with the blacksmith Zhang Laoshi, his mentor and his apprentice.

Li Yu sent him out of the mansion, and was about to return to the mansion, but saw three strangers, sneaking around in the manor.

After calling Li Yi beside him, Li Yu ordered, "Go, see who they are?"

After speaking, he turned and entered the mansion.

After sitting down for a while, Li Yi hurried in.

"Patriarch, those people claim to be from the Qinghe Cui family. There are worship posts here, please check."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he presented the greeting card in his hand.

Li Yu opened it and saw that it was written by Cui Shi of Qinghe, whose name was Cui Jie.

Li Yu was puzzled, he and Qiwang of the five surnames had never been in contact with each other, why did the Qinghe Cui family come to him?

"Send him in, ask for details."

"only!"

But after a while, Li Yi came in with a person.

This person has an ordinary face, is dressed in silk, walks with his chest up and his head up, his posture is very high, and he has a dismissive expression.

Li Yu felt uncomfortable when he saw it for the first time.

However, after all, it's just a guest just passing through the door, and it's not good to be too ugly after posting a greeting.

Then he got up and greeted him.

"This prime minister must be Li Xianzi, who is famous in Chang'an City. The Cui family in Xiaqinghe, Cui Jie, is very polite here."

"Hehe, the gentleman came to pay a visit. He didn't greet him far away. He was so rude. Please forgive me."

"Good talk, good talk!"

Before Li Yu gave up his seat, this Cui Jie found a seat and sat down.

He also raised Erlang's legs generously, making Li Yu feel as disgusted as he saw.

Resisting his temper, Li Yu asked with a smile; "I don't know if your honor is here, what's the matter?"

"Since Li Xianzi asked, I don't want to hide it, why don't I just get straight to the point and tell you the details!"

"please"

Li Yu didn't bother to say a word.

I just wanted to get rid of the matter quickly!

"So that Li Xianzi knows that someone is Qinghe Cui, a branch of the Nagato, who was entrusted by Cui Wang, the second grandson of the gate!"
