Chapter 285 Tonight, Chang'an will shine because of you! ! !
The sun is shining westward.
Zhuang Zhou, Li Er, and Fang Xuanling took turns plowing the land.
At least six or seven acres of land were cultivated.
On average, one person has two acres.
The three of them were all sweating profusely from exhaustion, but their interest was extremely high.
For Zhuang Zhou, this will be a big deal.
For Li Er and Fang Xuanling, this would be a historic leap that changed the agricultural production of Datang.
"Look, the three of us can dig out such a big piece of land."
Looking at the newly plowed land, Li Er was very proud.
The three of them are still novices, using a rotary tiller to turn soil for the first time.
This is enough to prove that the efficiency of turning soil with a rotary tiller is many times higher than using an ox.
Fang Xuanling also nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes! This acre of land can be turned over in less than two quarters of an hour.
I looked at it. This rotary tiller was probably worth at least ten cattle. "
"more or less!"
Zhuang Zhou remembered what his boss once said when he was buying a rotary tiller at the agricultural tool market.
This rotary tiller can turn twenty acres of land in one day if you are experienced with it.
A cow can only plow two acres of land a day.
Li Er naturally knew these things well.
"The key to this rotary tiller is not only that it is fast, but the land it turns out is also good, which is really rare!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhuang Zhou and asked:
"By the way, brother Zhuang Xian, can you still get this rotary tiller?"
"sure!"
Zhuang Zhou said with certainty.
Are you kidding me, I can get as much as I want.
But the price may be a bit high!
"Brother Qin, you have also seen the soil-turning effect of this rotary tiller.
So, the price is not low! "
Regarding money, Li Er seems not to care at all:
"Tell me! How much gold do you want? Is one thousand gold pieces enough?"
This is not cheap anymore.
Of course, such a good rotary tiller is hard to find.
Fang Xuanling also frowned at Zhuang Zhou, wanting to know his answer.
But Zhuang Zhou is really not interested in gold now.
Do you want to say you don't like it?
I'll definitely like it!
Who doesn’t like gold?
It’s just that it’s hard to get rid of this thing when you bring it back!
Especially if the quantity is large, you may be invited to tea.
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, and what he needed most now was jade, precious wood, antique calligraphy and painting, exquisite ceramics, and antique furniture.
As well as high-end medicinal materials, etc.
You won't have to worry about bringing these things back.
And the bigger the better.
But now he is not ready to tell the bottom price directly.
"Let's go back to the city first! We can sit down and talk about the price after we go back to the grocery store."
"it is good!"
Just as he was about to get up and return to the city, Li Er remembered something again:
"Brother Zhuang Xian, there is something I have to remind you."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"I heard that you once sold a lighter to General Li Jing for ten taels of gold?"
"Yes! It does happen."
"But now in your grocery store, a lighter only costs two hundred cents?"
Zhuang Zhou understood the meaning of his words.
I think this is a trick on Li Jing.
But Zhuang Zhou obviously had something to say:
“In the past, the quantity of lighters was small and the price was high.
Nowadays, the quantity of lighters is large, so the price is naturally low.
This time and that time! "
When Li Er heard this, he smiled slightly and said:
"It's okay. Can you explain it to General Li Jing by yourself then?"
Zhuang Zhou was puzzled when he heard this:
"What do you mean?"
Just listen to Fang Xuanling explain:
"General Li Jing is about to return to Beijing. I heard that he really wants to talk to you about lighters."
Zhuang Zhou: "..."
What to talk about, this is clearly a threat.
Don't think that because you are a big boss, I am afraid of you!
who cares!
let's discuss it later!
The three of them rested for a while and then headed back to the city.
Back at the grocery store, Zhuang Zhou originally wanted to invite Li Er and Fang Xuanling to take a hot bath.
Unexpectedly, both of them said you're welcome.
What does this have to do with being polite?
Zhuang Zhou was speechless. These ancient people were really unhygienic!
The two of them had already focused on the rotary tiller.
Li Er, in particular, looked at Zhuang Zhou with even more admiration:
"Brother Zhuang Xian, you have made great contributions to the country by bringing such a magical weapon to the Tang Dynasty.
Tell me, what reward do you want? "
Fang Xuanling also looked over, wanting to hear Zhuang Zhou's thoughts.
Who knows, I heard Zhuang Zhou say:
"To be honest, Brother Qin, I am not very interested in gold.
And me! What is most needed now is jade, especially the expensive ones.
I want things like bloodstone, light jelly, and hibiscus stone. "
Li Er and Fang Xuanling frowned at the same time.
This guy is really a weirdo. He doesn't like gold but likes stones?
"Brother Zhuang Xian, is this it?"
"To be honest, Brother Qin, I still want something."
"That's what you say."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
“In addition, such as precious wood, antique calligraphy and painting, exquisite ceramics, and antique furniture.
As well as high-end medicinal materials, I need them all. "
Li Er nodded, these were completely worth mentioning to him.
Ministers are usually rewarded, but many of them are not available.
At this time, Li Er thought for a while and said:
"I do have a luminous stone. I wonder if Brother Zhuang Xian likes it?"
"Luminous stone? What the hell?"
Zhuang Zhou quickly thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
A pair of Kazilan's big eyes stared straight at Li Er:
"Brother Qin, does this thing you are talking about shine at night?"
"Yes, my dear brother, you are so knowledgeable!"
Isn't this the Night Pearl?
If you could get one of these back, it would be worth a lot of money!
Zhuang Zhou suppressed his inner excitement and tried his best to look calm.
He knew very well that in ancient times, treasures like the Luminous Pearl were extremely precious.
Even for officials, it is not easy to get it.
Most of them are exclusive to the royal family.
But now that Brother Qin has mentioned that he has it, he definitely has a lot of background.
"Brother Qin, I wonder where your luminous stone comes from?"
Li Er seemed to see Zhuang Zhou's thoughts and took the initiative to say:
"Brother Zhuang Xian, this luminous stone was gifted to me by the Holy One today.
If you like it, I will give it to you. "
"Gift it to me? Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Zhuang Zhou couldn't believe his ears.
Why don't you be so wealthy when you give away night pearls to others?
"Of course I'm willing to give it up!"
Li Er said boldly:
"You brought such a magical weapon to the Tang Dynasty, why not if I give you a luminous stone?"
Zhuang Zhou was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he tried to remain calm and said:
"Brother Qin, it's better to do this.
How about I trade this rototiller for your luminous stone? "
"Of course this is great!"
Hearing this, Li Er said with joy on his face:
"My dear brother, I have only obtained one of these Luminous Stones now.
But I want to trouble you to get a few more of these rotary tillers, and I don’t want to do this.
I'll try my best to get you the rest of the things you mentioned.
Do you think it’s okay to subsidize the loss of your rotary tiller? "
A rotary tiller, exchange for a luminous pearl.
This is so damn good, okay!
Zhuang Zhou heard this and said repeatedly:
"Since Brother Qin has said this, I will suffer a little loss!
I'll think of another way to get you ten rotary cultivators. "
The three of them chatted for a while.
Li Er and Fang Xuanling said goodbye and left.
Zhuang Zhou sent the two of them away and specially said:
Don't forget to watch the fireworks tonight.
As for the rotary tiller, Zhuang Zhou asked Li Er to take it away first.
Back to the backyard of the grocery store.
Zhuang Zhou also took a nice bath.
Before nightfall, we headed straight to Taibai Restaurant.
