The meeting between the two parties was in a mess that had not yet had time to be cleaned.Su Qi wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Zong Xu who stretched out his hand first.Rao is like this, and he also solemnly bowed, "The subordinates pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." ”"Lord Su is exempt."
In the face of Su Qi, Zong Xu's attitude was closer than that of Wang Ling.It's just because he was able to present such a letter at such a time in the court hall yesterday."
Your Highness."
Su Qi straightened up, and the Nine Emperor Princes in front of him looked behind him, then turned sideways and waved to the Steward Wei who was waiting outside the door.The carriage slowly drove into the Ministry of Works."
Your Highness, this is the new farming tool sent by Lord Yanwei, the county guard of Zhuoting County, sent by the housekeeper of the mansion.Other than that, Steward Wei. ”The Wei steward who was called trotted over, saluted Zong Xu first, and then took down a small wooden box he was carrying, and respectfully presented it to Zong Xu, "Your Highness, this is the drawing of all the farm tools on the carriage, please take a look." ”Zong Xu took it with both hands, and saw the dust and exhaustion between the gray eyebrows of the old man in front of him, and his heart moved, "Steward Wei is hard. ”Steward Wei was flattered and waved his hand hurriedly, "The old slave is not hard.It's just that my family has another sentence for the old slave to convey on his behalf. ”"Please."
I thought I was just handing over things to a certain adult in the Ministry of Works, but I ran into the prince personally receiving the steward Wei took a deep breath and restrained the excitement and nervousness in his heart, "These farm tools, if they are properly promoted, can be used as a weapon for the people, and I hope that Your Highness, you will make good use of the importance of cherishing them, and don't let the pearl be dusty." ”Zong Xu, who didn't know what the farm tools looked like, frowned when he heard this, looked down and looked at the box in his hand, only to feel that it was inexplicably heavier.What kind of farm tools can be called a sentence, a sharp weapon of the people.Three oversized carriages entered the courtyard, and the entire courtyard was immediately packed.Coupled with the hundred soldiers who came in at the same time, Zong Xu beckoned behind him when he saw this, "Wang Ling." ”"Here," Wang Ling, who consciously acted as a background board, hurriedly walked over, "What does Your Highness command?"
”"Is there a bigger yard in the Ministry of Works?""
Yes.Your Highness, the third courtyard of the Ministry of Works is the territory of the craftsmen, because it is necessary to supervise the manufacture of all kinds of utensils and experiments, and the territory is the largest. ”"Lead the way.""
Yes."
There is another way to the third courtyard.Pushing open the rusted gate made of iron, everyone saw a courtyard that could be called vast.The loess is tamped and leveled, but the open space is divided into several areas with a half-foot-high Tieshan.The armament area is responsible for forging weapons such as swords, longbows, and armor, the civil engineering area where bridges and houses are designed, and the agricultural area where the location is the most disadvantaged.Completely different from the deserted courtyard of the first two courtyards, this place can be called full of people.The sound of iron striking in the armament area was incessant, and the craftsmen with dark skin were all concentrating on building the weapons in their hands, and the noise was so loud that most of the people did not even notice that the door was opened and entered.However, the craftsmen of the civil engineering district were building a small palace on the ground, and from time to time they quarreled loudly due to disagreement, and no one was found.In the most deserted agricultural area, there are only a few people gathered together, and from this side it looks like a farm tool is being renovated.For a time, none of them came to greet them.Wang Ling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Your Highness, wait a minute, and the subordinate will call the chief here." ”There was no need for him to call, Su Qi, who was standing behind Zong Xu, stretched out his hand and pointed at an old man who was trotting over opposite, "But that one?"
”"Huh?"
Wang Ling looked in the direction of his finger, "That's right, it's him." ”Saying that, the person who came had already run closer, and the first thing he saw was naturally Zong Xu, and then he looked at Wang Ling, who was nodding and bowing respectfully, "Wang Shu, dare to be this son?"
”"This is the Nine Emperors of the Dynasty, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry temporarily by the will of the Holy Lord, and is responsible for the promotion of agricultural tools."
Before the words fell, the person who came had already knelt down with a puff, "Han Fu, the director of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, has seen the Nine Emperor Princes. ”"Master Han is even."
Zong Xu gestured to the three big carriages that he stretched out his hand to follow, "These carriages are all carrying farm tools, and they need to find a place to move them down." ”Han Fu hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness, please come with me." ”The carriage finally stopped at the entrance to the agricultural area.When the curtains of the carriage were lifted one by one, the first thing that attracted full attention was several craftsmen in the agricultural area who were discussing how to transform the agricultural tools in front of them.Several people reluctantly withdrew their gazes, glanced at each other, and stood up from the ground in unison, not caring about patting the soil on their bodies, and when they got out of Tie Shan, they surrounded the farm tools that had just been put on the ground.Several craftsmen have studied agricultural tools for most of their lives, and others may not be able to see what the tools are used for, but that doesn't mean they can't see them.But because I saw it, the more I watched it, the more excited I became, and I couldn't wait to test it immediately, and then I started to dismantle it and study it thoroughly.Han Fu saw that these people's eyes were on those farm tools, and he coughed loudly a few times, but these people seemed to have intermittently deaf, so he didn't give him any reaction.He had no choice but to shout loudly: "Wang Zhuzi, Lin Ping, you guys haven't come to see His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes soon." ”Wang Zhuzi, who was about to start moving the farm tools back to their territory, was stunned when he heard the sound, turned his head and saw that their main business was not far away, and then he saw the young man in Xuanyi who was looking at them in front of them, and immediately thought of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and his subordinates immediately shuddered.Quickly led a few people behind him to kneel directly on the ground, burying his forehead on the ground, "The villain sees His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." ”"Get up.""
Thank you, Your Highness."
A few people stood up, although they were still greedy for the farm tools they had never seen before, but they didn't dare to look at it presumptuously."
Your Highness," Han Fu glanced at the people in the armament area and civil engineering area next to him who were looking cautiously here, "Your Highness, let the others come and pay a visit to Your Highness." ”"No need," Zong Xu looked at the armament area and the civil engineering area, and shook his head at the hesitant gaze of the craftsmen, "Now only the agricultural area needs to be used, and the craftsmen of the other two districts let them go and keep themselves busy." ”"Yes, yes, yes."
This Han Fu bowed down, and when he turned to the other side, "Wang Zhuzi, what about the rest of your agricultural area?"
”Wang Zhuzi and the others felt their hearts skip a beat, and after a while, they pointed to the house behind them, and replied: "Back to the master, you also know that the small ones are usually the most idle in this agricultural area, and they, and the others have been called by Lord Liu, the household servant, to repair the house, and the small ones dare not refuse." ”Moreover, I am reluctant to refuse, after all, there is still a little money to be made.But he didn't dare to say the last sentence.But even if he didn't say it, Han Fu knew the Tao here.The green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he took a few deep breaths before he took a breath, "Don't let them come back quickly." ”It's all this time, silver is important or life is important!
Zong Xu looked at Han Fu's nervous appearance, and a touch of contemplation crossed his eyes.He remembered that Liu Hu, the head of the household, was the prince's man.He said why he hadn't seen him all morning, but he was waiting for him here.When the others came back, Zong Xu was invited to the main hall by Han Fu, and there was nothing to do, he lowered his head and opened the tightly knit box given to him by the housekeeper in his hand.
