Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Lu’s Convenience - Chapter 122

It’s boring in winter, because Chen Xiaomi is pregnant, and Lu Lin doesn’t dare to let Chen Xiaomi do heavy work.

Chen Xiaomi held the money jar and counted the silver.

In this silent and cold winter, Chen Xiaomi’s greatest pleasure is counting silver.

“This silver is missing!” Chen Xiaomi said.

Lu Lin nodded and said, “I want money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Without oil and water, I can’t spend enough money.” Now he has to support a lot of people. It’s different from starting from scratch. Lu Lin raised his head and thought to himself: the burden on his shoulders now seems very heavy.

Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect that being an official costs so much money.”

“No, I’ve spent a lot on craftsmen recently. When we sell this Quyuan plow, we’ll see the money back.”

Lu Lin rubbed his chin and thought about it. During this time, he had been spending money. Although the sum was small, he spent more than 100 Liang.

Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, “I’m afraid not many people in Sha county can afford this Quyuan plow.”

What’s more, it’s a farm appliance. It should be bought by a lot of farmers. It’s not suitable to buy expensive ones.

Lu Lin said, “no one in Sha county can afford to buy it, so they sell it to other places. Are you afraid you can’t sell such a good thing? What’s more, Ji Chengkang said that if this thing is reported, there should be a reward. I don’t know how much the reward can be. If the emperor is more generous and gives me tens of thousands of taels of silver, then we’ll just eat and die from now on. ”

Chen Xiaomi said helplessly: “what you think is really beautiful.”

Lu Lin Who said it wasn’t.

The emperor seems to be more stingy. It is said that he is a poor emperor. So, he just thought about it.

Chen Xiaomi held the money jar and said, “if the emperor wants to give a reward, it should not be less.” This is the emperor. How shameful it would be if his hand was too small!

Lu Lin nodded and said, “there is not too much silver. More is better.” A poor emperor is also an emperor. A thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Because it was a long way to go, Qu Yuanli took a lot of time to get to Kyoto. You personally went to see the “handcart” cultivated land. You were very happy that it was a sign of the prosperity of the country. You appreciated Ji Jia who presented the “handcart” and ordered the Ministry of industry to make a large number of “handcarts” and strive to put them into use before spring ploughing.

Seeing this situation, many officials praised the sage for his wisdom and wisdom.

Lu Lin was very glad to receive the imperial edict of praise from the top and the two silver awards.

Lu Lin originally thought that there was no “money way” to be an official. Once the reward came down, Lu felt that the prospect of being an official was very broad.

Ji Chengkang said awkwardly: “the emperor’s reward was more than two thousand Liang, but he didn’t have so much money to send all the way. Ji Chengkang had nothing to do with the plundered silver. The salary from the emperor’s head was exploited layer upon layer, and only half of it was left.”

Lu Lin nodded his head to show that he understood, “there are a lot of work done by two people.”

“Originally, the emperor intended to promote you to an official position. However, you have been an official for a short time. The officials in Kyoto rejected you, saying that you will be promoted when the time is right.” Ji Chengkang road.

Lu Lin was far away in Shaxian County. As soon as the popularity of “handcart” passed, the emperor was busy. When he thought about it again, he didn’t know the year and month. Lu Lin nodded and said, “I’m very reluctant to be a county magistrate. It’s good not to be promoted.”

Lu Lin pondered that the rejection of his promotion should not be limited to the fact that he had been an official for a short time. He came from a merchant, and the official was bought. Most of the senior members of the imperial court came from the Imperial Academy. How can they see such a deviant person as him.

In the eyes of many officials, what he bought in this way was a moth.

This system of buying officials is also a helpless choice for the country when it is short of money. When the National Treasury is full, such officials will be cleared out of officialdom.

Ji Chengkang looked at Lu Lin’s insipid attitude and looked up at Lu Lin a little bit.

When Lu Lin came here, the people in Sha county thought that Lu Lin had not been working long. Seeing that Lu Lin had gained a firm foothold, they also got into a fight with the patrol camp. They could not help but look at Lu Lin with new eyes.

“We’d like to order ten Qu Yuan plows from you.”

Lu Lin was surprised and said, “so much.”

People who can make Qu Yuan Li have signed contracts with Lu Lin. although Ji Chengkang has drawings, Lu Lin is the creator of Qu Yuan Li, and Ji Chengkang doesn’t want to save Lu Lin’s face by making Qu Yuan Li in this place.

“Officers and soldiers also have to eat.”

The above military expenditure is limited, so the military supplies are a little tight. In desperation, the officers and soldiers have to be self-sufficient.

Patrol camp around the camp, opened up a lot of vegetable fields.

In their spare time, many soldiers were sent to grow vegetables, but most of them had to eat.

Ji Chengkang thought that if there was a Quyuan plow, it might be more convenient to cultivate land. For the same number of people, they could take care of more vegetable fields.Ji Chengkang has drawings in hand, and he knows how to do it. However, it’s not easy to pretend to others because of Lu Lin’s affection.

Lu Lin nodded and said, “there are just some in those warehouses. The general can take them directly, and the silver won’t be used.”

“How good is that?” Ji Chengkang is a bit embarrassed.

Lu Lin waved his hand and said, “the reward money has come down. It’s enough for me to spend. You’re welcome, general.”

Ji Chengkang estimated a little silver, Lu Lin did not pay attention to it, and said: “in this way, I am not respectful.”

Lu Lin laughed and said, “it should be.”

……

The winter days are so quiet that Lulin often lets people pull the Quyuan plow to turn around the wasteland.

When I went there for the first time, I asked some helpers.

After that, it’s no longer necessary. Every time the Quyuan plow is pushed out, some onlookers will come up to help and take the opportunity to observe the function of the farm tools.

Many villagers also asked Qin Yi if such a farm tool could be purchased and how much money it would cost.

Qin Lang can only explain that the output of this farm tool is not much, and the government does not intend to sell it. However, if the output keeps up in the future, it may be able to sell part of it.

Many villagers were disappointed to know that they did not intend to sell it for the time being. However, they immediately thought that it would not be cheap, and even if they could buy it, they might not be able to afford it.

“County magistrate.” Tian Zheng finds Lu Lin and smiles flatteringly.

Lu Lin took a look at Tian Zheng and asked, “what’s the matter?”

Lu Lin’s face is straight, but his heart is a little proud. The blacksmiths and carpenters he recruited may have been soldiers before. They respect Ji Chengkang very much. They have a different attitude towards such a small white face as Lu Lin. Lu Lin probably knows that these people work for themselves for the sake of money.

“Well, there should be many handcarts you made. Do you want to sell them?” Asked Tian Zheng.

Lu Lin took a look at Tian Zheng and said, “the workmanship of this farm tool is very complicated. If you sell it, you can’t get down without one or two silver.”

Tian Zheng frowned and said, “it’s so expensive!”

Lu Lin nodded and said, “yes! It’s that expensive. I’m afraid many farmers can’t afford it. I don’t sell it, but I can rent it. ”

“Rent, how to rent?” Tian zhengman asked curiously.

“Borrow farm tools for two days to do one day’s work for me. This mule can also be rented. If you rent one day, you can do one day’s work. If you stay at home all day, you only know how to eat grass and grow a lot of meat.” Lu Lin shook his head.

Tian Zheng’s eyes brightened and asked, “my Lord, a carpenter like me can work as a carpenter. What if the farmer borrows it from you?”

“You can do farm work, and so can anything else.” Lu’s way without thinking.

“My Lord, why do you have so much work?” Tian Zheng asked curiously.

Lu Lin nodded and said, “yes! I haven’t, but when spring comes, I can go to reclaim the wasteland. I’m going to transplant some trees. ” Lu Lin has many ideas in his mind, but he hasn’t figured out what to do.

Tian Zheng laughs and secretly accuses Lu Lin of cheating villagers to work for him. However, Lu Lin’s offer is kind.

“My Lord, you are so far sighted!” Tian Zhengdao.

Lu Lin laughed and said, “it’s easy to say, it’s easy to say.”

After Tian Zheng asked Lu Lin, he borrowed a mule from his family. In addition, he borrowed a Quyuan plow. Chen Xiaocai charged it to Tian Zheng.

Tian Zheng, a mule and a plow, was contented all the way.

In order to show off the borrowed mules and Qu Yuan plows, Tian Zheng did not go directly to the fields, but made a detour in the village.

In fact, the villagers are very curious about Qu Yuanli. However, before Lu linrang took things to the field, many people in this village did not dare to take a close look at them. It was different when the field was being taken back.

Several people familiar with Tian Zheng rushed up and circled around the Quyuan plow, hoping to tear it down.

“Brother Zheng, this is what you guys have worked out!”

Tian Zheng some proud way: “yes, this is what we made.”

Tian Zheng was complacent on the surface, but he felt guilty in his heart. They did it right, but the assembly had nothing to do with them. Before the finished product came out, they didn’t know what Lu Lin was doing. However, no matter what, they all took credit for it.

“This new county magistrate, he can toss farm tools.” Daotian, a farmer full of accidents, also had some accidents. He said in secret: the new magistrate looks like a little white face. He doesn’t look like he was in the field.

As a matter of fact, he used to be a farmer. However, it wasn’t long before Lu Lin got rich. Over the past few years, he has become whiter and whiter with respect. All the cocoons that he had ground before have retreated. He really looks like a little white face.After Tian Zhenglai borrowed quyuanli, some people came to borrow it one after another. However, the villagers still have some faith in the magistrate of Lulin.

At first, it was the carpenters and blacksmiths in Lulin’s shop who borrowed things from Lulin.

Several carpenters are familiar with Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi. It’s OK to borrow something from them. Gradually the villagers see that the new county magistrate is not a bully, so they come to borrow it one after another.
