Chapter 26 Six Uncles, Another Convoy Comes

As the incident of Quyuan Plough unfolded, the various official offices of the entire Tang Dynasty began to become busy.

Any small matter, as long as it involves the entire Tang Dynasty, will be very troublesome.

What's more, although ploughs are just a farm tool, they are related to millions of people in the world and the national grain warehouse, so it is naturally not a trivial matter.

Hundreds of prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty had to promote curved plows, and it also required the cooperation of each official office.

Anyway, in less than a month or two, the officials couldn't stop.

...

The Duke of Wei State’s Mansion!

Lawyer Pei, who heard the news, hurried back from Lantian County.

"Aye, the Quyuan Plough is so useful that it can speed up the farmers' cultivation by half?"

"This matter is true. I also started to cultivate it myself. The curved plow has that effect!"

Pei Ji said slowly.

"So, it is indeed a powerful weapon to enrich the country!"

Lawyer Pei's face was full of joy.

Then, thinking of the news he heard, he couldn't help but frown slightly and his face was full of depression.

"But, this plow is obviously a contribution to me and Aye. Your Majesty actually handed over the promotion of the bending plow to Duke Zhao!"

"Hmph, your Majesty's wishes are not something you can rashly guess?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Ji's face became gloomy and he glared at Lawyer Pei fiercely.

"Your county yamen has nothing to do? Why did you run back to your house?"

"I'm just worried about Aye!"

Pei Ji said quickly.

"I'm in good health, why do you need to worry?"

"The biggest thing is to return to your county government quickly and handle government affairs well!"

"yes!"

"In addition, it is not allowed to disclose to anyone about the affairs of the young master and the Quyuan Plough."

"ah?"

"This is the intention of the young master and Your Majesty!"

"yes!"

...

at the same time.

In the main hall of the backyard of Wannian County Government Office.

Wannian County Magistrate Zheng Yunde sat upright in the main seat, and the table was filled with wine and food.

Behind the table on the left was 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 valued by the head of the family. I'm really envious!"

As he said that, Zheng Yunde took the lead in raising his wine glass, "The eighth brother is rarely here today, so I must drink a few drinks with the eighth brother!"

"Haha, how can the 19th brother be free and easy! He will be in charge of a county alone and will definitely be promoted after two years!"

The middle-aged man showed a smile on his face, raised his wine glass slightly and drank it.

Then, his expression froze and he spoke directly: "This time, I'm here to find my 19th brother, there is something important!"

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yunde hurriedly looked at the middle-aged man.

"Please tell me more about it!"

"I don't know the nineteenth brother, can I know the curved plow?"

"I will naturally know about this. The Ministry of Revenue has issued a piece of this Quyuan Plough to me. I have also tried this thing myself. It is indeed a weapon to cultivate the land. Unfortunately, it is a pity that I don't know who invented it."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yunde couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

As early as when the curved plow was promoted, Changsun Wuji first distributed one to all the prefectures and counties around Chang'an. At the same time, there were also drawings.

Especially Wannian, Lantian, Xinfeng and other counties, on the third day, they received the bent plow and drawings from the Ministry of Revenue!

"The family got the news that before the Quyuanli appeared, the Duke of Wei in the palace had frequently entered and left Chang'an City for several consecutive days."

The middle-aged man said.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yunde narrowed his eyes slightly, "Brother Eighth, are you talking about the one in the palace and Mr. Pei?"

“That’s right!”

"How is this possible?"

Zheng Yunde looked surprised.

As a child of the Zheng family in Xingyang, even if he was just a Wannian County Magistrate, he still knew some of the things between the man in the palace and Wei Guoguang Pei Ji.

"It is precisely because some people in the family were curious and discovered something that everyone cares about!"

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Yunde's face was full of curiosity.

"As far as this matter is concerned with the 19th brother!"

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Some people in their family were curious and investigated, and found that the day before, Lawyer Pei, the county magistrate of Lantian County next door, often came to a small mountain village under the 19th brother's county. Then, after Lawyer Pei returned to the Duke of Wei's mansion, the next day, Duke Wei went to the small mountain village under the 19th brother's county regardless of his illness.

Moreover, there was the one in the palace who came. They stayed until the evening before these people went back. However, after entering Chang'an City, these people went directly to the Shaofu Supervisor 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 Shaofujian.

There were obviously a lot of things pulled in the car.

And the day after returning, a curved plow appeared in the palace!”

After saying that, without reminding the middle-aged man, Zheng Yunde understood.

"Brother Eighth, the Quyuanli comes from my younger brother's Wannian County?"

After saying that, Zheng Yunde was still a little disbelief.

"There is no other possibility!"

"I'm so angry. Lawyer Pei didn't stay in Lantian County, but he kept secretly beating my attention in Wannian County and robbing me of my credit with openly!"

"However, he didn't expect that, based on his affairs with the person in the palace, he would not even get the hard work!"

After comforting himself, Zheng Yunde remembered something and quickly looked at the middle-aged man, "Brother Eighth, don't you know what the elders in the family mean?"

"This matter is the source of the promotion of the 19th brother, and it is also an opportunity for the family to spread its reputation all over the world!"

"Brother Eighth brother wants me to go and find that great sage?"

“That’s right!”

"I wonder if Brother Eighth can tell where that small mountain village is and what is its name?"

"The foot of Zhongnan Mountain, on the edge of the river, is named Lijiazhuang..."

After lunch.

A carriage drove out of Wannian County and a group of servants were around him, and quickly headed towards Lijiazhuang.

There was a faint voice in the car.

"Brother Eighth Brother, if you really find that sage, the elders in the family really plan to let that person marry into my Zheng family in Xingyang?"

"nature!"

"What if this person is an octogenarian?"

"This matter is no longer up to us to do..."

“…”

Then, another topic came to mind in the car.

However, without knowing this convoy, when they left Wannian County, more than ten miles away from Lijiazhuang.

Then he rode quickly to Chang'an City.

...

Lijiazhuang!

"Sixth uncle, another convoy is coming!"

Still the same.

However, at this moment, Uncle Six is ​​no longer so frightened by this sentence.

He stood on the hillside with Li Dazhu, watched the convoy below slowly sail into Lijiazhuang, and then he quickly met him.

"The little old man Li Xigui greets the two nobles!"

Seeing Zheng Yunde and others getting out of the car, the sixth uncle's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Zheng Mingde, Zheng Yunde has met his father-in-law!"

Similarly, when Zheng Yunde and his two eyes lit up when they saw their sixth uncle.

When they looked at each other, they saw the joy on each other's face.

He hurried forward and personally helped his sixth uncle up.
