Chapter 11 Demonstration
The villagers gathered together happily, and everyone was happy on their faces. They went to this field and that field.
Seeing that every piece of field was being wet, I became even more excited.
Zheng Lizheng was also very happy. He paid out of his own pocket to buy something and invited everyone to eat a big pot of rice, which made everyone's emotions even more excited.
The villagers took turns to thank Wei Renshi, who was so enthusiastic that Wei Renshi couldn't resist it. Thanks to the arrival of the Grandma later, everyone went over to express their gratitude to the Grandma, congratulations to her for having such a powerful son, which made Wei Renshi feel relieved.
Wei Renshi hid on the haystack on the side, but he was thinking about how to tell my mother and allow him to go to Luoyang City.
First, try to find a kitchen in the food and restaurant to find out what seasonings are already available now. Second, according to what you see, go to the medicinal materials store and spice store to buy some raw materials.
The most basic things like onions, ginger, garlic, etc. needless to say, they have been used for a long time.
It is estimated that the commonly used pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and slightly more complicated seasonings such as fermented black beans and bean paste should be found.
But some of them are not seasonings, but are specially suitable for folk seasoning methods for a certain type of ingredients, such as relaxing wood in mutton soup, etc., which should not be available at this time. Some are probably still in the Western Regions and have not been introduced to the Central Plains. This is also OK.
And even if the seasonings that have been made are different, the mixing ratios are different, and the results are different. Mixed seasonings are good to sell.
As long as these things are raw materials, Yu Weirenshi is not difficult to make and the cost is low, which is very suitable for making them now.
You can make less first, sell some in Fuchang, take care of the food and clothing of the three of you at home, and then go for other livelihoods.
Wei Renshi thought about his plan in his heart, but he fell asleep on the haystack without realizing it.
When I was woken up, it was almost night.
"My son has been tired these days. If he wants to sleep, he has to go home to sleep to avoid catching a cold." The lady tidi said, tidying up her clothes for him.
"My grandma, I want to go out to Luoyang in a while." Wei Renshi said to the lady.
The grandma's subordinate paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I've read some books. I've read them several times." Wei Renshi made an excuse and said, "I heard from Li He that some gentry families in Luoyang City would allow scholars to read their collections."
"My son has never gone out far..." The lady was a little reluctant.
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Wei Renshi said: "The child wants to go out for a walk and take a look. Besides, Luoyang is not far away!"
"But my son is underage yet." The lady shook her head: "Even if you have this idea, it's better to go out again in a few years."
Wei Renshi knew that he couldn't understand the wife for a while, so he stopped talking and looked for another opportunity in the future.
When he got home, Wei Renshi was really tired and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was early the next morning.
The peasants in the village got up early. When Wei Renshi went out, there were already many people outside. They were all standing on the ridge of the field, pointing at the watered fields, and the enthusiasm had not yet faded.
Suddenly, Wei Renshi became a celebrity in the village. In the past, when people from the same village met Wei Renshi, they all called Wei Xiaolangjun, and they felt like they treated their neighbors and children.
This time it was different. When Wei Renshi walked on the road, the villagers' names turned into Wei Langjun who was polite.
After walking around Changgu, Wei Renshi felt relieved.
The effect of watering the fields is quite good. Unless the Daoyuan River is dry in the future, Changgu will probably no longer need to rely on manpower to carry water to water the fields.
I was in a good mood and returned home. As soon as I entered the door, I sat down to prepare for dinner, Zheng Lizheng came to the door.
"Today I plan to go to the county government to show my merits for Wei Langjun." Zheng Lizheng said to everyone in the room, then looked at Wei Renshi and said another: "By the way, go to the surrounding villages."
The lady bowed slightly and thanked her, "Thank you Zheng Li for your worries."
Wei Renshi naturally understood the meaning of Li Zheng, and nodded and said, "It's a blessing for Uncle Zheng - Uncle Zheng wants to build some more plows? I'll go with Uncle Zheng!"
"Okay!" Zheng Lizheng nodded.
After a few bites of a bowl of corn rice, Wei Renshi said goodbye to the grandma, went back to the study to pick up the drawings divided into several components last time, put them on, went out and jumped onto the donkey cart, and went to Fuchang with Zheng Lizheng.
In the Tang Dynasty, four households were neighbors, five neighbors were guarded, hundreds of households were villages, and five miles were villages. Each clan had one person, investigate household registration, set up farming and sericulture, check for illegal activities, and urge taxes. People who have improved agricultural tools in this village must report to their superiors, which is exactly the responsibility of the clan.
However, Wei Renshi was very curious about Zheng Lizheng having a friendship with the county magistrate, so he asked on the way: "Uncle Zheng, why do you have a friendship with the county magistrate?"
Zheng Lizheng replied: "I was recruited into the ranks in the early years, and the county magistrate was still in the office at that time. I saved him once, so I became familiar with him."
Wei Renshi understood that this position was an aide. It was estimated that the county magistrate was an aide to someone in the army at that time, and Zheng Li was a soldier in the army at that time. He had saved him once in the military formation and knew him.
Zheng Lizheng said again: "Later, the army was disbanded and someone came back to Changgu. A few years ago, he transferred to Fuchang as the county magistrate, and someone went to the county government to do business and asked him to recognize him."
"Is it useful to have the credit quotation?" Wei Renshi asked again.
Zheng Lizheng paused and replied, "I don't know that the county government will at least not lose rewards."
When Wei Renshi heard this, he thought that there was still a situation of being greedy for merit in the interaction. It was indeed the Tang Dynasty at sunset. If it were the people of the Qing Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, the merits might have been able to be expressed all the way.
However, as long as the county government does not lack rewards, that's fine. It's not just that you can do it just because of these small things. The purpose of giving some money is achieved.
Changgu is not far from Fuchang County. When the two arrived in Fuchang, they separated. Zhengli was about to go to the county government, but Wei Renshi wanted to take the drawings to find the craftsmen before.
"Then I will leave first, let's talk about a place, and then I will go to meet with Wei Langjun." Zheng Lizheng asked.
"Then... I'll sell Hu cakes not far from the city gate!" Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "The Hu cakes there are quite famous and delicious. I'll invite Uncle Zheng to eat Hu cakes."
Zheng Lizheng laughed and said, "It's better to invite Wei Langjun to eat. OK, Wei Langjun will go there after finishing the work, and come there."
After saying that, he went to the county government.
Wei Renshi found the craftsmen from last time and had the first experience, so he didn't need to explain it this time.
Wei Renshi quickly ordered the components of the ten ploughs and came to pick them up after about five days.
