When Li Shimin and his party were greeting Li Yuan, Yang Zijun, who was wearing a bright red golden deer-blessed myrobalan skirt and a bun, walked up to Qin Ming with Shi Shiran.
Yang Zijun and his two daughters sent a blessing to Qin Ming.
"Zijun has met the mountain chief."
"Maotu has met the young master."
Qin Mingxu raised his arm, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Zijun, you're finally here. Have you brought everything?"
Yang Zijun nodded, and then glanced at Chou Niu and others who were moving things down behind him.
"Already brought it."
Qin Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Then it's hard on you."
Yang Zijun smiled and shook his head.
"Zi Jun is so honored!"
While the two were talking, Chou Niu had already led the members of the escort team to unload a long bookcase from the frame behind the carriage.
Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang, who had been secretly watching Qin Ming with their eyes, couldn't help showing curiosity when they saw this scene.
The two women looked at each other, walked to Qin Ming, and said doubtfully:
"Brother Ming, what are you doing?"
Qin Ming turned around when he heard this, pointed at the tenant farmers working in the farmland, and explained with a smile:
"This is the first time our family has organized such a large-scale spring plowing. I want to ask Dean Yang to draw this scene as a souvenir!"
"In the future, we can use it to educate future generations. Every grain of food is earned by people's sweat. We must cherish food!"
Li Lizhi and Li Xiyao couldn't help but blush when they heard Qin Ming mention descendants.
Li Yuan and his party had just gathered around when they heard Qin Ming's answer!
Li Yuan laughed, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, that's great!"
Then Li Yuan approached Yang Zijun and said with a smile:
"Girl Jun, I won't hide it from you now. When I was in Taiyuan, I was a famous painter from all over the country!"
"If you say a few soft words to me, or ask me to give you a lesson next time you play cards, I will be willing to give you some advice and give you some advice."
"How about it? Think about it?"
Yang Zijun, who was lowering his head to sort out the four treasures of the study, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and sighed silently in his heart.
[Hey, how could such a humble man like you end up with such a boastful and unreliable grandfather! 】
He thought so in his heart, but in front of outsiders, Yang Zijun didn't angrily yell at the old man in front of him as usual!
She put down the things in her hands, turned around and gave a blessing to Li Yuan, saying:
"I dare not trouble you! When Zijun finishes painting, I will let you taste it first!"
Li Yuan stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Why don't you bother me? Anyway, I have nothing to do. I can just sit here and watch Jun girl paint."
Li Yuan had already said this, and Yang Zijun didn't know what to say anymore. He gave Li Yuan a blessing and turned back to the desk.
On the other side, Qin Ming looked at the muddy field path under his feet, saluted Li Shimin, and said:
"Your Majesty, the fields are very muddy, why not go to the official residence first?"
Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, pointed at the tenant farmers working in the fields and asked:
"My dear nephew, if I'm not mistaken, those tenant farmers in the distance rely on manpower to pull the plows, right?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it and said:
"Your Majesty, you have a sharp eye!"
When Li Shimin heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter. He reached out and hammered Qin Ming on the shoulder, and cursed with a smile:
"You brat, you have such a good thing in your house, and you don't even know how to inform the palace! Do you want to keep it private?"
"Also, how many times have I told you, but you still call me Uncle Li in private. Why don't you have a long memory?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming bowed and said:
"His Majesty..."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Um?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking!
It’s nothing more than a crush on Qu Yuanli!
But in his opinion, it doesn't matter, after all, there is no airtight wall in the world.
As long as you use good things, you will inevitably be stolen from them!
Just like those counterfeit products in later generations!
Furthermore, as a son and daughter of China, Qin Ming should do his part to help his compatriots and let them use the curved plow as soon as possible.
So Qin Ming had no intention of relying on Quyuanli to make a profit from the beginning!
He sighed and said:
"Replying to Uncle Li, my nephew has no intention of cherishing his broom. Now Zhuangzi is already planning to build a plowing workshop."
"When the workshop is built, my nephew will open a shop in each of the east and west cities of Chang'an to sell this new type of plow at a low price."
Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this, trying to force Qin Ming to use his words.
He coughed lightly and said with a straight face:
"I took a quick look and found that there are dozens of plows in this field. I guess you must have built this plow early in the morning. Then why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"Do you know, if I could bring out such a plow during the imperial court's spring plowing ceremony last month, how significant would it be to the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, bowed and said:
"It's the humble minister who was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Empress Changsun, who was wearing a bright red palace dress, stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Li Shimin's clothes and whispered:
"Erlang, we should be happy that our good nephew can make such a plow! Why are you holding on to this?"
Li Shimin turned to look at his eldest grandson, smiled and patted the eldest grandson's catkins twice.
Then he walked to Qin Ming, helped him up personally, and said in as soft a voice as possible:
"That's all, that's all, I can't blame you for this!"
After speaking, Li Shimin glanced at the cultivated land, pointed at a small team that had just returned to the edge of the cultivated land, and said:
"My dear nephew, ask them to put down the plow first. I want to try it myself."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, took a look at Li Shimin's clothes, hesitated and said:
"Uncle Li, it just rained in the fields yesterday and the farmland was full of mud. How about forget it?"
Li Shimin felt Qin Ming's eyes and looked back and forth on his shoes and clothes.
He immediately understood what Qin Ming meant.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, held his head high, and said righteously:
"I am the king of a country. In order to eliminate the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, I can even eat locusts alive!"
"Now that I can use a good plow for the common people, why would I regret my life!"
Fang Xuanling, who had been holding back for a long time, heard Li Shimin's words and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I would like to go with your majesty, I hope your majesty will allow it!"
Li Shimin patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder with a pleased expression and said with a smile:
"It is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have a loyal minister like Ai Qing in the imperial court!"
"I believe that what I did today will be recorded in the annals of history and will be remembered for generations to come!"
"Hahaha."
Qin Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this and ignored the two people who were exchanging business blows.
He stretched out his hand and waved to the three people of Qin and Da not far away:
"Ada, Jin Er, Jin San, you guys bring the plow over."
"Here."
