General Qin

Chapter 203 Marrying a Wife

After returning from Li Xin's mansion, Zhao Tuo stayed up all night.

Li Xin's changes made him more worried about the uncertain future.

At the same time, I also worry about whether my future self will become like Li Xin, so arrogant and arrogant.

"We must bear in mind the ending of Qin's death in history. Now I am completely bound to Qin. If Qin perishes, then I will die without a place to die."

Zhao Tuo muttered to himself, thinking of the original appearance of history, his heart was at peace.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is enough to keep him alert all the time.

On the second day, he left Xianyang directly and took a carriage to Chaoyangli, Shangyuan Township, to visit the little brother who was farming for him, and at the same time to relax.

For Zhao Tuo's sudden return, Heng was ecstatic, and took Zhao Tuo to see a large piece of land that he had been allocated because of his promotion to the title.

"Gentleman, these places you can see are all your land!"

Pointing horizontally at the farmland full of millet in front of me, the early autumn wind blew across the field, and countless tassels swayed with the wind, which looked pleasing to the eye.

After Zhao Tuo was promoted to Zuo Shuzhang, he was allocated so many fields that Zhao Tuo could hardly count them.

How many fields are there?

Zhao Tuo didn't bother to calculate it, it was a big number anyway.

He didn't care too much about it either. His current assets, in addition to the more than 100 yi of gold rewarded by King Qin, also have a lot of spoils of war.

After Daliang City was broken, Zhao Tuo got a lot of money from the pearls and jade money that Wang Ben ordered people to transport out of Daliang City.

This is money that ordinary people can't earn by farming for a lifetime.

But Zhao Tuo still looked solemnly at the farmland full of millet in front of him.

"Heng, what do you think of the grain output this year?"

Hearing this, Heng instantly became happy.

"good!"

Maybe it's because I feel that the word "good" is not enough to express my feelings.

Heng shouted: "Excellent! Before the first year, there was no experience in using the method of retting. The retting method was still fresh and could not fully exert its fertility. This year, with enough experience and time, what we have piled up is all The old manure that Tuo Ni said is 'fermented' is full of fertility, and the crops irrigated with this manure grow better than last year."

"And last year we used the lower fields for experimenting with composting. This year, because of your promotion, we planted all the upper fields. I estimate that some of the millet in the upper fields can increase the yield by nearly two stones compared to the original without the method of composting! "

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and he looks more and more like an old farmer in the field.

He said happily: "It's not only our family, because the king implemented the method of composting in Guanzhong, the grain in all the farmlands of our Shangyuan Township has grown well, and this year is definitely a bumper harvest! You don't know, everyone in the village is now I am grateful to you, and some people even say behind your back that you are the reincarnation of Hou Ji."

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was shocked.

Hou Ji is alive!

This is too big a word, Zhao Tuo dare not bear it.

But on the other hand, it can also be seen how important farming is in this era. If an acre of land increases by one or two stones, even the taxes collected by the government will rise accordingly, but more or less, it will always be more than before. Set aside some grain.

That little bit of extra food is enough for an average family to feed an extra child, or add a few more clothes for the family.

"The method of fertilizing is so effective. I think the harvest in Guanzhong will be bumper this year, and the king will be very happy. Then the reward... can I be promoted to be the head of the right concubine?"

Looking at the ears of grain swaying in the wind, Zhao Tuo started fantasizing about it, and he was a little uncertain about it.

If he is still the title of public servant, or the fifth doctor, Qin Wangzheng will definitely give him a title directly.

But now, Zhao Tuo, as the head of Zuo Shu, has the same title as Li You, Meng Tian and others, it is shocking enough to say it.

If he was allowed to go up a level, wouldn't it be the pressure directly on the heads of the two old bosses.

Meng Tian, ​​the dignified general, must greet Zhao Tuo, an old subordinate, and greet him?

The twists and turns here are not simple, and it also involves the face of Mengshi, Lishi, and more noble children.

"It depends on what the king wants."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, he came out this time to relax, so he didn't think about it any more. Instead, he walked back with a smile on his face.

Wherever they passed along the way, when the villagers saw Zhao Tuo, they all stood on both sides of the road in fear, bowing their heads to show respect. And quietly glanced at the mighty crown on Zhao Tuo's head.

This is the treatment of high nobles.

The common people in the head of Guizhou dare not look up.

Even the prison gate that Zhao Tuo had met several times was trembling with shock. He knelt down at the door and watched the young man wearing a crown walk into the gate.

He couldn't help thinking in his head that when he met Zhao Tuo last year, the other party was no more than a duke, and in just one year he was wearing a crown, and his status was high.

"It's too fast. How can someone in the world be promoted so fast? Could this Zhao Tuo be the king's bastard who lives outside?"

This idea came to Li Jianmen's mind, and then he couldn't control it. He couldn't help counting the age of the current king of Qin.

"Hiss...he's about the same age!"

The prison gate was full of astonishment, as if he had discovered a big secret, he looked around and was relieved when he saw no one was paying attention.

When he returned to his home in Chaoyangli, Zhao Tuo began to check some of the utensils he had told him about. During the past six months, he sought out craftsmen in the village, and according to the information left by Zhao Tuo, he more or less made some things. .

For example, the samarium sickle that can increase the harvesting speed is easy to make.

But these are small things. The real heavyweight is the corner of the yard, the farm tool that is somewhat different from the plow of today's era.

"It doesn't look very good. Find a craftsman to continue to modify it to make this shaft more curved. When next year's spring plowing, you can adjust it according to the use of the situation, and you can increase or decrease the corresponding parts. You will see for yourself. Do it. If this thing can be successful, the efficiency of farming will be greatly improved."

"Gentleman, you know a lot. I think this thing will definitely work!"

He looked at Zhao Tuo with admiration.

Zhao Tuo smiled lightly.

He had actually only heard the name of this so-called "Quyuanli". As for its appearance, I just glanced at it when I saw someone post a picture in the book review area, and the specific components are actually not clear.

After all, he was a novel reader in his previous life, so he didn't know how to make farm tools.

In addition, we can have an understanding of the historical trend and the characters. When encountering technical things, Zhao Tuo can only propose a general direction. The specifics still depend on the craftsmen of this era to manufacture on the basis of the ideas he put forward. and improvements.

This is not something that can be done in a short while, it has to be explored slowly.

After seeing the new farm tools, Zhao Tuo asked about Heng's personal affairs.

"Since you still like Jing, I will cut Ke for you and marry Jing. She is not married yet, and she is still waiting for you."

Heng's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to do something for a gentleman, these agricultural tools are of great importance. If someone else sees it and leaks it, it may cause disaster like last time."

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "Causing trouble? Don't worry, I'm Zuo Shuzhang now. Even the magistrate of a county has to say hello to me when he sees it. So what if someone sees these things?" , who would dare to provoke a Zuoshu elder?"

"Besides, I made these things to present them to the king, and spread them to the world, so as to benefit all people. Even if I accidentally leaked them, as long as all people in the world can enjoy the benefits they bring, then what's the problem?"

He stared blankly at Zhao Tuo, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Mr. Zhao is righteous."

Zhao Tuo smiled and pulled Heng up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you regard me as your gentleman, then listen to me and marry that Jing. Give birth to a baby soon." , can also be regarded as the continuation of your family's blood."

This time, she blushed and did not refuse again.

On the second day, Zhao Tuo casually revealed a tone, and the local villager eagerly came to the door, with a flattering smile on his face, followed Zhao Tuo, and went to Jing's house to fight against Ke.

Faced with the visit of a Zuo concubine in person, accompanied by local miserly men and various powerful figures, the Jing family was overjoyed, and naturally agreed, and pushed their daughter to Heng in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Tuo paid for it, and all the officials joined in. The grand wedding can be said to be the most lively event in the entire Shangyuan Township, making countless people envious.

At night, Heng took his bride to kowtow to Zhao Tuo to thank him.

Heng shed tears and said: "Zhao Jun's kindness, I can't repay you. From Heng on down, generation after generation, Heng's descendants, all should be your servants, and the world will repay your kindness!"

"Okay, on the day of great joy, don't say these words, and bring the bride into the house quickly."

Zhao Tuo said with a smile, urging the newlyweds to deal with their major life events quickly.

After a while, I looked at the bustling courtyard and the new house not far away with the lights turned off.

Zhao Tuo couldn't help raising his head, looked in the direction of the Qin Palace, and sighed faintly.

"Heng has married a wife."

"I don't know when I will be able to complete the important matter of marrying a wife in this life."

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo suddenly became strange.

He thought of Liu Ji and Lu Shi who had met in advance because of him when he was in Weidi.

"I don't know if Liu Ji has received the big gift I gave him. In this life, can he still marry Lu Zhi?"

The second update will be posted around ten o'clock.
