Chapter 57 Even if it doesn't count carbon in the snow, it's still the icing on the cake
Chapter 57
"Good guy, Brother Zheng, your Zheng family in Xingyang is really a big family..." Hu Wei couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"With a big family and a big business, there are also worries about a big family and a big business. How about it, my dear brother?" Zheng Yuanxun asked Yang Qian with a smile.
Is this a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster? Or is Zheng Yuanxun selfless and valuing friendship above all else?
Yang Qian himself was a little confused. You can't just buy a farm cow if you want to. Farm cows need to be trained. They don't know how to work at birth.
Moreover, both Xingyang and Dongdu were affected by floods. Not only the Yang family's cattle were lost, but other people were not much better, so now you can't buy it at all if you have money.
These seven heads were bought by the stewards of the government at a cost of almost twice the price from other prefectures and counties.
But now, Zheng Yuanxun opened his mouth and offered to sell thirty cattle at the market price. Even if he sold them at twice the market price, I believe they would all be robbed before they left Xingyang.
Yang Qian took a deep breath, and his smile seemed a little far-fetched at the moment. "Brother Zheng, don't make such a joke. If you sell so many cattle to your younger brother, you will really suffer a big loss."
"Who said that?" Zheng Yuanxun couldn't help but laugh. "My Zheng family has a big business, a lot of farmland, and naturally a lot of cattle."
"If I hadn't seen Qu Yuanli before, Brother Yu, I wouldn't have dared to say such big words. After all, the family property is there, and Zheng doesn't want to cause criticism in the family."
"But now that I have seen the efficiency of this Quyuanli, and my wise brother is so generous, he is willing to help me, Zheng. If I, Zheng, don't know how to repay my kindness, I'm afraid even my mother will look for me when the time comes.
Trouble."
Zheng Yuanxun insisted on taking action, and the Yang Mansion was in great need of cattle. Now the family was not short of money, and they could naturally afford thirty cattle.
Yang Qian's thoughts changed and he no longer hesitated, saluting Zheng Yuanxun. "Whether this matter is successful or not, I would like to thank you in advance for your generous act."
"Let's do this. I will send a few people who are skilled in using this curved-column plow to go to Xingyang with Brother Zheng. If Brother Zheng feels that the curved-column plow can really replace the straight-column plow, it can save a lot of money for the Zheng family.
Human and animal power.”
"At that time, Brother Zheng will think about it and sell as many heads as he can to his younger brother."
"Brother Xian, you are really cautious. Since you consider Brother Yu so much, Brother Yu will not refuse. Then we have decided." Zheng Yuanxun laughed and raised his hand.
After Yang Qian was slightly stunned, he smiled and raised his hand, high-fiving Zheng Yuanxun.
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Zheng Yuanxun said with a smile. Looking at him, it seemed as if he was happy that he had taken advantage of Yang Qian.
"Master, let me go over and talk to those old masters now to see who can follow Mr. Zheng to Xingyang?" Uncle Song, the housekeeper, walked up to Yang Qian and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle Laosong, this matter belongs to you. Go and ask around. If there is anyone willing to go, the salary will be calculated as three times that of staying here." Yang Qian nodded and explained.
"Young Master is kind-hearted, I understand." Uncle Song, the steward, nodded with understanding and hurried away.
Not long after, he said hello to the old men who were plowing the fields, but after a while, the housekeeper, Uncle Song, rushed back with a relaxed look on his face.
"Mr. Zheng, I wonder if five are enough? The other two have troubles at home, so it's really difficult to get away..."
Zheng Yuanxun nodded his head and said quickly. "Five people are enough. Most of the farmers in our Zheng family are experienced people. As long as someone can give us some advice, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Hu Wei nodded in agreement. "Brother Xian, my family doesn't need to ask you to assign people, but Brother Yu will send some people over to learn how to use this curved shaft plow. There will be no problem, right?"
"If there is any problem, you can send as many people as you want to learn. The more people come, the better. In that case, I will take advantage of you, Brother Hu." Yang Qian nodded and smiled.
The problem of farming cattle can be solved, and the big stone in Yang Qian's heart has finally fallen. With the help of more than forty farming cattle supported by the Hu family, it is no problem to cultivate 70 to 80 acres of new land in a day.
As for the thirty cattle that Zheng Yuanxun promised to sell to the Yang family, as long as nothing unexpected happens, or Zheng Yuanxun does not regret it, there is no need to worry about missing the farming season and delaying the planting of winter wheat.
Yang Qian, who knew something in his mind, continued to brag and beat up with these two people, waiting for the old masters who wanted to follow Zheng Yuanxun to Xingyang to say hello to their families and gather at the Yang Mansion.
Yang Qian personally sent Hu and Zheng, who couldn't wait to return home to test Quyuanli, to the entrance of Daze Village, and then stopped.
After watching these two people board the car and travel away, the smile on Yang Qian's face gradually faded and he looked thoughtful.
Zhili, a simple-minded personal scholar, didn't think anything of it. On the contrary, he was very excited to spread the good news to the servants nearby.
However, Uncle Song, the steward who accompanied him, noticed the change in Yang Qian and asked in a low voice.
"Master, do you think that the Master of the Zheng family is a little too enthusiastic?"
"Uncle Song, have you noticed it too?" Yang Qian turned his head and looked at the housekeeper, Uncle Song.
"The reason why the young master of the Zheng family behaves like this, in my opinion, is most likely because he wants to form a good relationship with you, young master, for the future."
Yang Qian looked at Uncle Song, the talkative and scheming housekeeper. Uncle Song, who was over fifty years old, was his grandfather's retainer, and he and his grandfather had a life-long friendship.
After my grandfather passed away, he has been staying by his father's side, and now he has become the butler of the Yang Mansion.
"Although your father is only a fifth-grade doctor from the Ministry of Industry, but..." Uncle Song, the housekeeper, stroked his long beard and said with appreciation on his face.
"Now that this plow and other farming tools are available that can make farmers all over the world dance with joy, I will have a promising future."
"What's more, the Yang family has a young talent like you, whose talents and knowledge are obvious to the world at a young age. Before you were sixteen, you were already known to everyone in Xingyang.
His reputation has even spread to the Eastern Capital, and he has come into the eyes of His Majesty, and his future future is immeasurable."
"At this time, even if Zheng's move cannot be regarded as a timely help, it can be regarded as the icing on the cake. From this point, it can be seen that none of the children of these aristocratic families are easy to get along with."
"Thank you, Uncle Song, for your guidance, which led me to open the thatched cottage..." After hearing the analysis of the butler, Uncle Song, Yang Qian couldn't help but bowed to the butler, Uncle Song, and thanked him sincerely.
"I am not worthy of such a great gift as the Young Master. In fact, with the wisdom of the Young Master, I can find out its deep meaning as long as I think about it carefully. I am just old and like to mutter a few words..."
"Uncle Song, please don't be humble. As the saying goes, having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. My father once said that when he first entered officialdom, he found it difficult.
Thanks to Uncle Song's teachings and guidance, I was able to get through many difficulties safely. Now that I can have you here to guide me, Uncle Song, this is also my blessing, Yang Qian."
