The sun sets in the west.
Zhuang Zhou, Li Er and Fang Xuanling took turns cultivating the land.
At least six or seven acres of land were cultivated.
On average, each person has two acres.
All three of them were exhausted and sweating, but their spirits were extremely high.
This will be a big business for Zhuang Zhou.
For Li Er and Fang Xuanling, this would be a historic leap in changing the agricultural production of the Tang Dynasty.
"Look, the three of us can dig out such a large piece of land."
Looking at the newly turned land, Li Er felt very proud.
The three of them were still novices and it was their first time using a rotary tiller to turn the soil.
This is sufficient to prove that the efficiency of using a rotary tiller to turn the soil is many times higher than using oxen.
Fang Xuanling also nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes! This one acre of land can be plowed in less than two quarters of an hour.
I think this rotary tiller is at least as effective as ten oxen."
"That's about right!"
Zhuang Zhou remembers what his boss said when he bought a rotary tiller at the farm implement market.
This rotary tiller can turn over 20 acres of land a day if used by an experienced operator.
A cow can only turn over two acres of land a day at most.
Li Er naturally knew about these things.
"The key to this rotary tiller is not only its speed, but also the quality of the soil it turns over. It's truly remarkable!"
Then he glanced at Zhuang Zhou and asked:
"By the way, Brother Zhuang, can you still get this rotary tiller?"
“Yes!”
Zhuang Zhou said affirmatively.
Are you kidding? I can get as much as you want.
But the price might be a bit high!
“Brother Qin, you have also seen the soil turning effect of this rotary tiller.
So, this price is not low!"
Li Er seemed to not care about money at all:
"Tell me! How much gold do you want? Is one thousand gold enough for one?"
This is not cheap.
Of course, such a good rotary tiller is hard to come by.
Fang Xuanling also frowned and looked at Zhuang Zhou, wanting to know his answer.
But Zhuang Zhou is really not interested in gold now.
Are you going to say you don’t like it?
Of course I like it!
Who doesn’t like gold?
But this thing is hard to get rid of once I bring it home!
Especially if the quantity is large, you might be invited to have tea.
Zhuang Zhou thought about it and realized that what he needed most now were jade, precious wood, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, exquisite ceramics, and stationery.
And high-end medicinal materials, etc.
You won't have any worries if you take these things back.
And the larger the quantity, the better.
But now he is not going to directly state the bottom price.
"Let's go back to the city first! We can sit down and discuss the price in the grocery store later."
"good!"
Just as he was about to get up and return to the city, Li Er remembered something:
"Brother Zhuang, there is something I need to remind you of."
"Oh, what is it?"
"I heard that you once sold a lighter to General Li Jing for ten taels of gold?"
"Yes! That's true."
"But now in your grocery store, a lighter only costs 200 coins?"
Zhuang Zhou understood what he meant.
I feel that this is a trap for Li Jing.
But Zhuang Zhou obviously had his reasons:
“Before, lighters were in small quantities and therefore expensive.
Now that lighters are in large quantities, the prices are naturally low.
This time is different from that time!"
Li Er heard this and smiled faintly and said:
"It's okay. You can explain it to General Li Jing yourself when the time comes."
Zhuang Zhou was puzzled when he heard this:
"What do you mean?"
I only heard Fang Xuanling explaining:
"General Li Jing is about to return to Beijing. I heard he really wants to talk to you about the lighter."
Zhuang Zhou: “…”
What are you talking about? This is clearly a threat or intimidation.
Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you’re a big shot!
Who cares!
We’ll talk about 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. The ancients really had no regard for hygiene!
The two of them had already focused their attention on the rotary tiller.
Especially Li Er, he looked at Zhuang Zhou with even more admiration:
"Brother Zhuang, you have brought such a divine artifact to the Tang Dynasty, which is a great contribution to the country.
Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Fang Xuanling also looked over, wanting to hear Zhuang Zhou's thoughts.
Who knew that Zhuang Zhou would say:
"To be honest with Brother Qin, I'm not very interested in gold.
As for me, what I need most right now is jadeite, especially precious ones.
I want things like bloodstone, light frost, and rhodonite."
Li Er and Fang Xuanling frowned at the same time.
This guy is really weird. He doesn’t like gold, but likes stone?
"Brother Zhuang, is that all?"
"To be honest, Brother Qin, I still want something."
"You say it."
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"In addition, there are also valuable woods, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, exquisite ceramics, and stationery.
And high-end medicinal materials, I need them all."
Li Er nodded. To him, these were totally insignificant.
Most of the rewards given to ministers on a daily basis are not worth the money.
At this time, Li Er thought for a moment and said:
"I do have a luminous stone. I wonder if Brother Zhuang would like it?"
"Luminous stone? What is that?"
Zhuang Zhou quickly thought of something and his pupils suddenly dilated.
A pair of big eyes of Carslan stared straight at Li Er:
"Brother Qin, does this thing you're talking about glow at night?"
