This made Tang Shi, who felt a pain in his body when he was given the essential oil at first, very embarrassed.
Only Chen Hong, who knew her best, gave her a handwritten book of original stories.
Although he was doing what he liked, it was enough to prove that he had no money.
Tang Shi was not stupid. After so many days, she certainly knew that his "my classmates" and "my fellow villagers" were all fabricated, but they were so interesting that even someone like her, who had read thousands of novels, found them
I like to hear it, this guy definitely has talent in this area.
So she smiled and said to him: "Master Chen, is he short of money?"
Chen Hong is really lacking.
He was born into a poor family. Although he passed the second-level Jinshi examination, he is now only a sixth-rank official with a small salary and little extra money.
So ten minutes later, she successfully agreed with him on the price of one hundred taels of silver for each storybook, and also agreed that if she liked it and the book was published, she would pay additional money.
So everyone was happy.
As for other gifts, she couldn't make up her mind, so she ran to ask Emperor Ming Yan.
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said, "Do you want to accept it?"
Tang Shi said: "I really don't care about the others, just this one." She picked out one: "I just want this one."
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty looked at it and saw that it was a hot spring village on the outskirts of Chang'an, and said: "I will give you one of these villages."
"No!" Tang Shi said, "This Zhuangzi used to belong to the Huo family." She looked at him eagerly.
Emperor Ming Yan suddenly felt sad that his cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
He sighed, "That's it." Then he touched her head and said, "All you need to do is accept these. If they give it away, you accept it. You are neither an official nor in power. If you don't accept it, it will be for nothing."
Gu Jiuxing's expression was very strange.
This man was so unconventional that he actually came to the emperor with a gift list and asked if he could accept it, but the emperor actually said... Where can I go to reason with him?
Then Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "I have also prepared a house for you. When you get back, I will ask someone to clean it up so that you can live in it."
Tang Shi nodded with a very sweet expression: "Okay! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Remember to come earlier," Emperor Ming Yan said, "You can write me a letter and bring it to Jiahe."
"Okay!" She blinked with big eyes: "Then don't find me annoying, Your Majesty. I will definitely miss Your Majesty as soon as we are separated. I will definitely write every day!"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed: "I'm not bothered."
They were about to separate, her little mouth was as sweet as sprinkled with sugar, she was so cute and cute, she just went out all night long.
When he went out, he saw Lin Weixin waving to her with a smile: "You're out now, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" He led a horse over: "This is for you, a little sweat horse."
What?
The kind words that had reached Tang Shi's lips stopped immediately.
The legendary sweaty horse! Those who have seen the Condor Shooting should still remember this, but I didn’t expect it to actually be alive!
Moreover, the horse is not that big yet. It is red with gold in color, has big double eyelids, has a long mane, and its whole body is shiny. It is simply too good-looking...
Tang Shi couldn't resist the temptation for a moment and decided to accept it: "Thank you very much."
The two chatted for a few words in the courtyard, and then Tang Shi personally followed others to put the pony away, telling A and He not to forget to take it away tomorrow.
When he came back, he saw a tall figure waiting in front of the door. Seeing her coming, Yan Chengyuan stepped forward and handed over a whip: "I saw you learn to whip, so I'll give you one."
Tang Shi took a step back: "No, thank you."
His hand stayed still, and she walked around him. The moment she passed her, he said, "People from the Lin family are somewhat utilitarian, so it's not advisable to get too close."
She stopped, turned her head, slowly raised her eyebrows, and looked at him.
Commander Yan actually read the meaning of "You should take care of your son first" from her eyes.
But she didn't say anything in the end, and the two of them just left.
The next day, Shengjia left Dongfeng County, and Tang Shi returned home with Wei Xin, A, several people and a lot of gifts.
As soon as she walked in, she felt like "Wow, I'm finally home."
It’s actually quite interesting on the road, but it’s better to go home than go home.
Tang Shi took a bath, changed his clothes, and sat lazily. Ding Jiu and others reported on their non-urgent tasks these days. Tang Shi said: "From today on, Ding Xiaoyan will be my housekeeper! Don't say goodbye.
I don’t care about anything else, I just want to welcome you and send you off.”
Ding Xiaoyan jumped in from the window, a little surprised: "Me? Why did you pick me? I can't do it!"
"You're so good-looking!" Tang Shi said, "I'm just so arrogant."
Everyone: "..."
Tang Shi called Ding Jiu again: "I have received a lot of gifts, and I think there are actually local houses. You go to Weixin and pick them out to see if there are any that can be used. I am going to build another essential oil workshop..."
Xia Yuhui hurried in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Madam, the common people are polite."
"Don't do this," Tang Shi immediately made a serious face: "I will never forgive you."
Xia Yuhui laughed: "Are you still angry? Actually, I didn't mean to throw it at you on purpose. It's just that in that situation, everyone will naturally look for you, otherwise who would they look for?"
Tang Shi snorted, and he started to talk about the lawsuit spontaneously. After he finished speaking, Tang Shi was satisfied and ordered him, "Go and write an 'invitation letter' to invite people from neighboring counties."
Come and participate in the cotton harvest, remember, you are not observing, you are asking them to work, and tell them not to send those scholars here."
Zhang Baigui came over in the afternoon.
After the Qin County Magistrate left, the new County Magistrate never took office. The emperor obviously had some thoughts about this position, so Zhang Baigui could only temporarily take over his post.
But Zhang Baigui was indeed a clear-headed person, and he didn't mean to be perfunctory at all. He just started working down-to-earth and showed the attitude of staying here for the rest of his life.
When the companion came back from Tang Dynasty, there were so many big and small bags. It was obvious that he had won the favor of the saint, so Zhang Baigui's attitude was naturally more cautious and respectful.
Tang Shi didn't see any change, so he discussed with him: "No one has ever grown cotton in large quantities, so I mean, for this cotton harvest, every nearby village will ask Li Zheng to select a dozen people.
Then we also write letters to neighboring counties. They can send people here if they want. They all need farmers who know how to work, and they can do it in batches. Anyway, after the cotton is spun, it usually needs to be picked every six or seven days."
"When these people come, let's pick and remove the seeds together. If there are people who want to buy, we can sell them seeds and teach them how to plant them. If they see it with their own eyes, they can buy it if they want and plant it if they want to. We
There’s no need to say more, and there’s no need to teach you anything later. And you can also take advantage of this opportunity to divide the watermelon seeds into batches for easy promotion next year.”
This trip with the driver wasted a lot of time, otherwise, she might have butterflies out of the cotton gin.
The principle of an ordinary hand-operated gin is still very simple. It mainly consists of a cylinder with hook teeth and a rolling pinion. However, she did not have a particularly clear impression in her mind. She was afraid that she would have to try it twice even if she wanted to do it.
, can only be collected and tested at the same time.
Zhang Baigui would naturally agree to such a great thing.
The two discussed some details. Xia Yuhui also wrote out the "invitation letter". Zhang Baigui looked at it and found that there was nothing to change. He quickly transferred a few people to copy a few copies, and then sent someone to Qinzhou overnight.
Everywhere, the time is set for two days.
The situation at this time is probably similar to when the workshop first opened.
In the surrounding counties, there was a kind of joy similar to "Fu Niang is finally willing to take us to play", and they responded to the call.
