Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Queen Changsun and others were chatting in the main room.
Suddenly I heard something moving outside, and I couldn't help but glance outside curiously. Then I saw everyone standing up with a cheer, and seemed to be putting things on the table. I couldn't help but poke my head out and look around curiously.
At this time, it can be seen that Wang Zi'an is now extraordinary, he can see in all directions and listen in all directions.
He immediately noticed the actions of Li Yuan and others, and quickly poked his head out of the crowd, smiling at them sheepishly.
"Brother, you see how embarrassed I am. You came here when you came, and you still have to give me some kind of congratulatory gift - isn't it just that I was granted the title of Marquis? What's there to congratulate..."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed and strode out.
"As far as my little brother's talent is concerned, being a marquis is nothing special. From my point of view, if the emperor is brave enough, even if he is granted the title of Duke, it will not be a big deal, but it is still gratifying to congratulate——"
As he spoke, he took off the jade ring on his hand.
"Although this ring is not a valuable item, it has been with me for many years. Today I will give it to you, my little brother, as a gift for the title of marquis - I hope you won't dislike it -"
With that said, without any explanation, he walked up to Wang Zi'an, took Wang Zi'an's hand, and put it on him personally.
Li Shimin:...
If he is not courageous enough, then he is not courageous enough. If I directly give him a title of Duke now, the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty will go crazy.
Also, it’s really inappropriate for you two to call each other brothers!
But, he didn't know what to do.
well--
He sighed silently and quietly hid behind the crowd.
Out of sight, out of mind, just do as you like.
Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and the two old gentlemen who followed looked at each other, while the other bosses looked at their noses and hearts, pretending not to hear.
Let’s pretend not to know about these messy things in the emperor’s family.
"Brother, you—"
Wang Zi'an declined a few words with some embarrassment, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it reluctantly.
There is nothing we can do, it’s hard to refuse everyone’s hospitality.
Wang Zi'an found a rag and put it away. In the back room, he randomly found a box that was not too full and threw it in. Then he happily took a group of people to see Qu Yuanli at Old Uncle Wen's house.
Quyuanli?
The depth of plowing can be controlled, the soil is brittle, and the steering is flexible, saving time and effort. Can you do two days of work in one day?
Li Yuan and Pei Ji couldn't help but look at each other and followed them calmly.
Now, he became more and more curious about this little brother he had just met.
I originally thought he was just a young man with some talent, but who knew, the more I got to know him, the more I was shocked.
His knowledge, conversation, temperament and demeanor are all he needs to stand out from the crowd.
When I got home, I took a look.
A row of glazed windows, glazed bowls, glazed lamps, mellow and powerful wine, endless aftertaste of delicious food, all the officials in the courtyard willingly crowded on a table made of a few broken wooden boards to eat in the open air——
Can ordinary people do it?
Old Uncle Wen was leading Brother Hammer and Brother Pliers to make farm tools in the yard, when he saw Wang Zi'an leading a large group of people, shouting in.
He couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.
"Uncle Wen, I'll bring you guys over to see your plow——"
When Old Uncle Wen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin and others. When he saw that they were all well-dressed and with red faces, he understood immediately.
This is big business!
I rubbed my rough big hands with some excitement.
"These are all shopkeepers of the grocery store, right? Let me tell you, you are here. The farm tools we have here are all very useful..."
Li Shimin and others couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
Well, the grocery store manager is the grocery store manager.
"If you have any useful farm tools, take them out and see -"
really!
Old Uncle Wen kicked the hammer and pliers standing beside him.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and bring out all the guys' styles for the shopkeepers to see..."
Brother Hammer and Brother Pliers quickly went to move things with a smile.
"Hehe - to be honest, these farm tools were all improved by Zian's help. If you say they are easy to use, they are really easy to use, but they are a bit expensive..."
Seeing this group of people squatting on the ground and looking at farm tools, Old Uncle Wen couldn't help but introduce them.
In fact, Li Shimin and others also saw it without his introduction.
These farm tools are indeed a little different from those outside, and they are all made of iron. It would be strange if they didn't work well.
At this time, Quyuanli has not been moved out yet.
He weighed a farm tool that looked like a pickaxe but only had three teeth in his hand, and briefly compared it. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was already extremely shocked in his heart.
The entire farm tool consists of a long wooden handle and three long teeth as thick as fingers. Those three long teeth are shining with cold light. Just by looking at it, you can tell that the texture is extraordinary.
Can this be used as a weapon?
"Is this a pickaxe?"
Li Shimin simply waved the utensil in his hand and asked casually.
Seeing his emperor's intervention, the other bosses couldn't help but look at him with a bit of scrutiny. We all have a discerning eye, and the farm tools in front of us are extraordinary at first glance, and may even be made of fine iron!
It’s not enough to make weapons, how about you use it to make agricultural tools?
The key is this raw material, where did you get it?
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
Old Uncle Wen thought everyone was impressed by his craftsmanship, and his smile became more and more honest and bright.
"That's right. It was designed by Zian. It's said to be a three-tooth pickaxe. Let me tell you, this thing is very easy to use. One person can dig up three of them - if you don't believe it, you can try it..."
Li Shimin nodded, picked up the three-pronged pickaxe, walked to the open space in the corner, swung it, and dug down with the pickaxe.
Buried in the grave!
Pull it out and it will shine like new!
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This is the cold winter——
The ground was frozen as hard as iron.
You tell us, this thing is a farm tool?
That’s it for Mo Dao!
"The shopkeeper is really good at making farm tools out of fine iron..."
Unknowingly, there was a chill in Li Shimin's voice.
Li Yuan also squatted on the ground, repeatedly weighed the butcher knife in his hand, and waved it a few times, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
This pig-killing knife is somewhat similar to the Turkic scimitar, but there are obvious differences. It has a slight curvature, but it focuses on the pinnacle of design.
Not to mention killing pigs, if this thing is taken to the battlefield, it will definitely be a first-class knife!
Changsun Wuji, who was in the crowd, glanced at the unconscious Wang Zi'an calmly, with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
It’s really seeking death.
"This shopkeeper is really joking. Where do we ordinary people get the fine iron? These are some scrap farm tools that we usually buy, and some ordinary iron ingots purchased from outside shops-"
At this point, Old Uncle Wen complained habitually.
"Hey, that shop is really dark, the quality of the goods is not very good, the prices are so expensive, it really doesn't give ordinary people a way to survive - it is said that it was opened by a relative of the emperor's family, with a big background, and ordinary people like us can't do anything... "
Changsun Wuji:...
He almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Their eldest son's family controlled the largest iron mine in the Tang Dynasty and also controlled the most important iron distribution channel in the Tang Dynasty.
The old man in front of him, the black-hearted shop he was talking about, clearly belonged to their eldest grandson's family.
But the key now is not whether the price is shady or not, but that there is really no such thing as takeout in my shop.
