After talking about the business, His Majesty Li Er asked gossipingly: "Why did you recruit so many merchants to your house today?"
Yang Fan was slightly startled: "Uh, Your Majesty, can I not say anything to you?"
His Majesty Li Er's face darkened: "What do you think?"
Yang Fan was not afraid, and stared blankly at His Majesty Li Er, asking: "How did your Majesty know that these people were recruited by Wei Chen?"
This question stopped His Majesty Li Er from asking, and he could only curse angrily: "Just answer whatever I ask you, how come there is so much nonsense?"
As the emperor, it was certainly impossible for Li Er to admit that he had eavesdropped on the conversations of these lowly businessmen.
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was getting angry from embarrassment, Yang Fan was confused.
Could it be that this emperor has reached menopause and is so easily angry?
Of course, Fan did not dare to say such words, so he could only say perfunctorily: "These people were invited by Mei Niang. I don't know what they do specifically. Your Majesty also knows that Mei Niang is responsible for all the business in the house. "
Looking at Yang Fan, who was unable to get enough food and salt, His Majesty Li Er blurted out: "Aren't these people here to do business with you? They also said that you invented some kind of farming artifact and wanted to cooperate with you. How can you just fool me like this?"
This boy didn't take him seriously as the emperor.
If I had asked someone else what I just said, I might have already told you everything.
Only Yang Fan's stick pushed back and forth, and His Majesty Li Er finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Yang Fan held his breath, Li Er was too hypocritical!
Since you know everything, but you still ask questions knowingly, isn't it like taking off your pants and farting?
But he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is indeed aware of everything. I have indeed invented a small thing, and I want to present it to the court!"
His Majesty Li Er showed a satisfied smile and said calmly: "Tell me about it!"
The arrogant posture, it seems that again, you kid wants to lie to me, there is no way!
Yang Fan explained helplessly: "The Guanzhong area has been affected by drought this year, and spring plowing has been postponed for a long time. Even if it starts to rain now, it is impossible for everyone to have time to finish plowing all the fields."
"In order to prevent the people from starving, Weichen invented a plow that is easier to plow. This plow is lighter and more practical than the previous plows, and the speed of plowing is more than three times that of before..."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't sit still. He stood up and confirmed loudly: "Is this true?"
This year's drought has had a great impact. There has been no water for spring plowing and sowing in the Guanzhong area.
Although it's raining now.
But it is now the Dragon Boat Festival. If the fields are not plowed as soon as possible, at least half of the fields will be abandoned this year because there is no time to cultivate them.
Now Yang Fan actually said that he had invented a spring plowing artifact that was several times better than the previous plow. How could His Majesty Li Er not be excited?
If there really is such a thing, Datang will be able to plant more fields and produce more food in the future.
As long as there is food, within a few years, the imperial court can recruit troops on a large scale and complete the Eastern Expedition that he dreams of.
If this invention is real, it is simply a life-saving straw.
Not only does it solve the problem of difficult farming in Guanzhong this year, it will also be a great invention that benefits the country and the people.
Of course Yang Fan knew why His Majesty Li Er was like this.
But this guy was too excited, and in the end he could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, okay, okay... This is really great. You are indeed my lucky star. As long as what you say is true, I will reward you greatly!" His Majesty Li Er was eager to get his hands on it, as if he had got his beloved toy.
But His Majesty Li Er quickly reacted and asked in a bad tone: "Those merchants, do you want to sell this spring plowing artifact?"
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, mixing this kind of spring plowing artifact with the smell of copper rust is simply a crime.
Yang Fan didn't realize the danger at all, so he nodded naturally and said: "It's not selling, it's just doing business together!"
Although the Quyuuli was copied by Yang Fan, in the Tang Dynasty, he, Yang Fan, was the owner of this invention.
If it wasn't for making money, why would he recruit so many merchants?
Even if his consciousness is high, Yang Fan can't give this thing away for free, right?
If that were the case, wouldn't it become a fool's errand?
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er kicked him angrily and said angrily: "It's totally unreasonable. You only have money in your eyes. I won't kick you to death, you bastard."
With that said, he kicked Yang Fan directly to greet him.
After being kicked a few times, Yang Fan didn't feel much pain, but he felt a little aggrieved. When he turned to look at Li Chunfeng, he kept blinking.
The meaning is obvious, I want this bastard to say something nice.
But Li Chunfeng didn't seem to see the hint, and instead added insult to injury: "Zhongyihou, don't take money too seriously. Anyway, we won't take it with us until we die. It's useless to make too much money. How dare you use it?" Selling spring plowing artifacts for money is really inappropriate, why don’t you quickly admit your mistake to Your Majesty.”
As soon as these words came out, His Majesty Li Er's face turned even darker!
Seeing this, Yang Fan had no choice but to say: "Well...Your Majesty, actually, I don't want to make money from selling pears. The reason why I recruited these merchants is to let them quickly promote this kind of farming equipment. What's more, The price I sell this kind of pears is fixed, not expensive!”
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, looked at the aggrieved Yang Fan suspiciously, frowned and asked, "What price do you want to sell it for?"
There is no need for Yang Fan to lie about this!
What's more, you can't lie, after all, you can find out this kind of thing just by looking up.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er who was furious, Yang Fan could only say cautiously: "Well, Your Majesty, how about selling me two... uh, one money?"
Seeing that Li Er was getting darker and darker, Yang Fan could only helplessly say again: "Your Majesty, tell me the price, and I will discuss it with those merchants."
The emperor obviously wanted to give it to him for free.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er also knew that he was going too far. After pondering for a while, he asked: "How much does this kind of plow cost?"
Seeing the burning eyes of His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan had no choice but to confess honestly: "A set of plows costs at most two hundred copper coins. If there is suitable wood, any craftsman can make it."
"Hey, it's such a huge profit!" His Majesty Li Er glared at Yang Fan and said angrily: "Money, money, money, you've simply fallen into the eyes of money."
"If this plow is so cheap, why not sell it at cost?"
Yang Fan stroked his forehead and said nothing. This emperor was too shameless.
Not to mention the various costs required in transportation, sales and other links.
We want these merchants to promote it as quickly as possible. Who would do such a stupid thing without profit?
What's more, the world doesn't belong to him, Yang Fan, why should he shoulder everything?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan said: "Mei Niang is responsible for this matter. I will discuss it with her. As for whether other merchants agree or not, that is not my decision."
After hearing Yang Fan's words, His Majesty Li Er said nothing more.
As an emperor, of course he knows that he can't afford to be too early if he doesn't have any profit, so he just needs to give this kid a beating!
But seeing the reluctant look on Yang Fan's face, His Majesty Li Er became more and more angry for some reason, and he was about to kick Yang Fan again.
Yang Fan had already noticed his movements. His Majesty Li Er just raised his feet and suddenly slipped to the door.
It has the meaning of "if you kick me, I'll leave".
His Majesty Li Er is so angry!
Who in the world would dare to run away at a time like this?
The only one with a stick is Yang Fan.
Knowing that Yang Fan had not been taken away, His Majesty Li Er could only change the subject: "Since you said it is so good, why don't you quickly take it out for me to see?"
Yang Fan refused directly: "Your Majesty, this thing is a commercial secret and is not allowed to be visited. Besides, who would put this thing at home?"
His Majesty Li Er was almost furious!
Of course it wasn't because Yang Fan ran away, he was angry that this thing was not placed in Chang'an City, making him happy in vain.
Seeing that the emperor was about to lose his temper, Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we will look at it at the morning meeting tomorrow. There may be unexpected gains."
"Although it's raining now, they think that this year's spring plowing will be delayed. How can those aristocratic families sit still and wait for death? Why not..."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "You mean those aristocratic families will plead for the Cui family because it is too late to borrow spring plowing?"
Seeing Yang Fan nodded firmly, His Majesty Li Er did not ask further questions.
Li Er didn't speak, but Yang Fan quit!
After all, I have to lose some money, but now I can't get any benefits, so I can't reconcile myself to it.
So he asked with a shy face: "Your Majesty, if I offer a sacred weapon to relieve the court and solve the problems of the people, is it considered a great achievement?"
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er nodded affirmatively, Yang Fan continued: "Two days ago, His Majesty promised Wei Chen that if Wei Chen made great achievements again, he would give Wei Chen a duke, right?"
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily. As expected, this guy is still thinking about becoming a knight!
However, as long as Yang Fan's invention is really effective, it will be a good thing for the future, and it will be okay to give it a duke.
So His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "Looking at your performance, I can't decide which Duke is the Duke. This needs to be discussed by the civil and military officials of the whole court..."
"Okay, let's get down to business. Let's go prepare some food. I'm a little hungry!"
Seeing Li Er making a bad check again, Yang Fan was speechless.
I was about to donate the Quyuanli, but I couldn't catch anything. It was so depressing.
So Yang Fan lost the energy he had just now and directly prevaricated: "Since the artifact is to be presented tomorrow, I have no time to have dinner with His Majesty. Now I have to rush to Junyangfang to get the artifact, so there will be no delay. Your Majesty’s important business.”
Li Chunfeng's eyes widened and he stared blankly at Yang Fan. This Zhongyi Marquis was indeed different from ordinary people.
He actually dared to blatantly reject the emperor, which was a shame!
But Wang Huangui has Yang Fan's temperament. He will lose his temper on the spot and will not hold grudges.
And today the emperor is happy, and he won't argue with him even if he thinks about it.
Compared with a meal, dealing with the noble families is His Majesty Li Er's top priority.
As expected, Li Er was not angry when he was rejected. Instead, he said calmly: "Okay, hurry up and get ready. Don't delay. I must see you at the meeting tomorrow morning, otherwise... hum!"
With that said, His Majesty Li Er waved his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving only wet footprints on the ground.
Although Yang Fan has a little temper, he also knows that this matter cannot be delayed.
When they came to the main hall, they saw that Wu Meiniang had already met all the merchants and discussed with Wu Meiniang for a while, and then she felt relieved.
After all, in terms of political sensitivity, Wu Meiniang is much more far-sighted than him!
Looking at Yang Fan who was a little tired, Wu Meiniang said distressedly: "Husband, don't worry, Meiniang will advance and retreat with you!"
Yang Fan didn't say anything, but gently leaned on Wu Meiniang's shoulder.
This period of time is indeed very tiring!
To outsiders, Yang Fan looked calm and cheerful, but who knew the suffering in his heart.
To be an enemy of a noble family is to be an enemy to most of the court officials.
Even with the emperor's help, Yang Fan was still unsure.
If this bet fails, regardless of whether the emperor can keep him, those aristocratic families will not give up.
If it was just him, Yang Fan wouldn't care. Now that there are so many people relying on him for a living, he has to be cautious.
Many people believe that physical work is more tiring than mental work, but in this official world where one wrong step can lead to disaster, Yang Fan is actually extremely worried.
Because if you take one wrong step, you may fall and get a bloody head.
Of course Wu Meiniang could understand Yang Fan's mood and comforted her softly: "Husband, you should pay more attention to your health. Even if you don't think about Meiniang, you should think about the other people in the Hou Mansion."
"Mei Niang really doesn't know if I can survive without my husband. If I'm too tired, I may resign and live in the countryside."
Ever since they had skin-to-skin contact, Wu Meiniang could no longer live without Yang Fan.
Wu Meiniang, who has seen the gloom of officialdom since she was a child, certainly knows the dangers of officialdom.
Every time Yang Fan fights with the aristocratic family, Wu Meiniang often wakes up from her dreams in the middle of the night. After all, the power of the aristocratic family is too powerful!
Wu Meiniang softly expressed her feelings and worries, but did not receive an answer from Yang Fan.
Looking sideways, she didn't know that Yang Fan had fallen asleep against her at some point!
Seeing Yang Fan sleeping soundly, Wu Meiniang's heart was full of pity. Only at home could the husband of this family sleep so peacefully.
The more she looked at it, the more Wu Meiniang felt that this handsome face was so fascinating. The sleeping man was different from usual.
Yang Fan usually looks carefree, doesn't care about anything, and can easily solve any problem.
In fact, he was always worried and cautious in his heart, as if there was a big stone weighing on his heart.
What is he worried about?
Seeing Yang Fan's frown, Wu Meiniang felt distressed.
Involuntarily, he stretched out his slender hand and gently touched Yang Fan's resolute face.
Women often develop a liking for a man out of curiosity, but Wu Meiniang gradually fell in love with him out of admiration.
This stickman in the eyes of outsiders is actually a calm, wise and good man!
At least that's what Wu Meiniang thinks.
He will make the Duke House for himself, Prince Rigid for his sister, and a son who violently slacks the emperor for a clear person ...
These actions may seem reckless, but who among the people in Chang'an would not give a thumbs up and praise them for their responsibility?
The man in front of me usually seems easy-going and informal, but his personal habits are extremely self-disciplined.
He respects women very much and does not discriminate against his servants, because he never yells at the maids and servants...
Although these are all small things in life, they are a noble quality and definitely not a height that can be achieved by a noble status.
Moreover, he is both civilized and martial, proficient in various skills. Such a genius is simply a gift from God.
Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, happy for her luck.
She was a little lucky!
Fortunately, the emperor gave him to Yang Fan. If he could only stay in that deep palace compound for the rest of his life and never see the light of day, just think about it and you will know how miserable that life would be.
Putting Yang Fan gently on the soft couch and covering him with a soft blanket, Wu Meiniang left the room and called Yang Laifu.
"Uncle Fu, are Quyulili ready?"
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Yang Laifu replied softly: "Young Master has already asked about this matter, how dare I neglect it? People have already made preparations. Madam Wu, please rest assured that I will never miss Young Master's business. "
Wu Meiniang smiled apologetically: "Uncle Fu, don't blame me for being meddlesome. This matter is very important. Please don't blame me for being too talkative."
The flower-like face looked fresh and refined, and the indifferent smile made the sky brighter.
Yang Laifu was filled with relief: "Ms. Wu, don't worry, I know. I will go to Junyangfang later to confirm, and it will be absolutely perfect."
For some reason, this delicate and frail little woman in front of her has been able to stand on her own. Not only has she built a large business for the Yang family, but she has also become a dazzling strong woman.
This Lady Wu is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also a virtuous wife. Yang Laifu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his young master is so lucky!
However, only my own son deserves to have such a beauty in the world.
