It was already early spring. Qin Fang went to a slightly cooler house surrounded by bamboo forests. There were birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers. A fresh breeze blew over, bringing with it a refreshing coolness.
Er Niu was standing outside the house. When he saw Li Shiming and his group, he felt a little uneasy.
"Manager Li, Madam Li, why are you here?”Er Niu greeted them with a discount.
"These two days, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. I was thinking of bringing Furen and my daughter to the Qin manor to play.”Li Shi Min laughed.
"The weather is indeed good…" Er Niu chuckled.
"Where's Young Master? Why haven't I seen him?" Li Shi Min asked.
"Young Master, he probably…" Er Niu stammered. Perhaps…You must be busy."
When Li Shimin heard that Qin Fang was busy, he thought that Qin Fang must be fiddling with something good.
"Erniu, tell me, is Qin Fang hiding something good recently?”Li Shi Min asked in a low voice.
Er Niu was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Erniu, tell us. We won't tell anyone.”Empress Zhangsun was also curious.
"This…" Er Niu was in a difficult position.
As she spoke, Xiao Die walked out of the room with a flushed face. She walked unsteadily as if she was sick.
When Er Niu saw Xiao Die come out, he heaved a sigh of relief and muttered,""Young Master's time is getting longer and longer. It's already been an hour.”
The Empress saw Xiao Die walking over and greeted her,""Miss Xiao Die, long time no see, you're even more beautiful.”
This Xiao Die had skin whiter than snow, and she was tall and ambitious. Most likely, many concubines in the harem were not as good as her.
"So it's you guys. Young Master is in the room." Xiao Die said, slightly embarrassed.”
"You're all familiar faces, follow me."”
Everyone had come many times and they all got along well. Therefore, Er Niu didn't need to report and was directly brought in.
Seeing them enter the house, Xiao Die let out a long sigh and hurriedly went back to the house to take a shower and change her clothes.
When she entered the house, Qin Fang had already taken a shower and was sitting by the window to rest.
"Young Master Qin, we have come to disturb you again.”The Empress greeted Qin Fang.
"Old Li, you came at the right time. The wine I brewed some time ago just happened to be opened today.”Qin Fang beckoned for everyone to take their seats.
Li Shiming was immediately energized when he heard that there was wine to drink. The last time was really delicious. Although he was the emperor, he had never drunk such a delicious wine. He carefully treasured the few jars of wine he brought back from the Qin family and only drank a few sips occasionally.
"Is it the Sky-Shooting Wolf from last time?" Li Shi Min couldn't wait to drink Sky Shooting Wolf again. After drinking Sky Shooting Wolf once, he couldn't taste any other wine.
Although the technique of the Tang Dynasty's sauce wine was considered good at that time, it was still far from the later generations. The alcohol content was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
Therefore, when we read ancient books, we often wrote about drinking from a big bowl or blowing a jar. For example, Li Bai's drinking of 300 cups at a time was exaggerated, but it also showed that the alcohol content was really not high.
"It can be considered an improved version of the Sky Shooting Wolf from last time. I tried two mouthfuls and it was quite good.”As Qin Fang spoke, he instructed Er Niu to get the wine.
Soon, Er Niu came over with a jar of wine, while Xiao Die placed a few dishes on the table.
Qin Fang opened the lid of the wine jar. Instantly, the fragrance of the wine filled the air.
Li Shi Min smelled the fragrance of the wine and looked intoxicated.
"Come, come, come. Er Niu, Junxian, and Rengui, sit down and eat together. Xiao Die, go get Madam Li a bottle of pear with rock sugar.”Qin Fang made the arrangements.
After a while, Xiao Die came back with the pear with rock sugar.
The Empress took a sip.”
Ever since Qin Fang had treated her and occasionally took Chuanbei Loquat Ointment, the Empress's condition had improved a lot.
This pear with rock sugar also had the function of relieving cough and nourishing the lungs. It was really suitable for the Empress.
"Young Master Qin, just now outside the manor, we saw farmers using curved iron plows to plow the land. Li Shi Min asked.
As a king, this was what he was most concerned about.
In ancient times, agriculture was the foundation of the country. If the efficiency of farming could be increased by three times, it meant that one person could farm more land, produce more food, and the country would be stronger.
"Oh, the one you're talking about, that's called the Quyuan Plow, we've been using it for a long time.”
"In the past, a family had to work in the fields. Now, only one labor force is enough. The elderly could enjoy their old age, and the children could read and write.”Qin Fang said casually.
This matter was actually not worth mentioning. It was very simple. At least, that was what Qin Fang thought.
"Young Master Qin, why don't you promote such a good invention? "The Empress asked.
"Aiya, my manor's curved shaft plow is open to the public. If you want to imitate it, you can take one away. It will increase productivity and increase food production. However, the commoners were used to plowing and were unwilling to change.”
Indeed, Qin Fang did not deliberately hide the production process of the curved shaft plow. Smart farmers had learned it, but most people were too conservative.
After all, Qin Fang was very willing to promote this kind of thing that increased production capacity.
"The current emperor rewards farming and weaving. If you present the technology of this curved shaft plow, you will definitely be put in an important position.”Fang Xuanling said.
Li Shimin would definitely reward such a great invention.
"This won't do. If I tell Li Er about the technology of this curved shaft plow, what if he makes me the prime minister? I hate being an official the most."
Qin Fang leaned back on the rocking chair, swaying leisurely. Xiao Die massaged her feet, feeling comfortable.
"Young Master Qin, the technology of this Quyuan Plow is a great thing for the country and the people. If you don't mind, I can bring one back. We are businessmen. Once we sell it all over the country, the technology will be spread. What do you think?" Li Shi Min laughed.
This curved shaft plow was too good, it had to be promoted.
"That's a good idea. Erniu, bring a Quyuan plow to Manager Li and give him my design.”Qin Fang said.
Qin Fang would not be stingy with this move.
"Yes." Er Niu immediately went to get the curved shaft plow and the blueprint.
Li Shi Min was overjoyed and took a big gulp of wine.
The wine was fragrant, soft, sweet, and had a long aftertaste.
"Good wine, what wine is this? It's actually so mellow!"
Li Shiming was shocked by the taste of the wine!
"This is Moutai, the sauce-flavored type.”
After thirty days of drinking, Li Shimin remembered the important matter.
"Right, Young Master Qin has good news to tell you.”Li Shi Min said.
"What good news can I have?" Qin Fang asked in confusion.
"I heard that the Duke of Changping was imprisoned for treason.”
"You're really godly. You actually guessed correctly that Zhang Liang would rebel.”Li Shiming looked at Qin Fang with admiration.
"Old Li, are you sure you didn't spread our conversation that day?”Qin Fang looked at Li Shimin in surprise. According to history, the Duke of Changping could still live for a few more years. Could it be that his transmigration had caused a butterfly effect that caused Zhang Liang to die prematurely?
"I'm sure it didn't spread. This is a matter of losing my head. How could I spread it?”Li Shimin thought to himself,"I didn't spread it, but I heard it myself."
