"My Lord, what do you think of this?"
After the county magistrate finished planting the seedlings in his hand, Zhao Dashu asked carefully, and then looked at the crooked rice field he had planted, and said, "Okay, I have to pull them out and start over. Is the county magistrate's eyes slanted? Why can't I follow him and plant the seedlings crookedly? Many of them even didn't get planted and are now floating on the water."
He does this job well, worthy of being an official.
The county magistrate had had enough fun and finally got down from the rice seedling horse. His body, legs and face were all covered in mud. No one knew what was wrong with him, but he wiped his face every time he planted a few plants. His face was more calico than a cat's. Zhao Dashu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He was almost suffocating.
"When I get home, I will write a memorial to the prefect. I'm sure your Excellency will report it to the court."
Zhao Dashu and the village chief followed behind him.
"Zhao Dashu, right? You have done a great deed this time. I will keep this rice seedling horse and promote it throughout the county tomorrow. I will borrow your carpenter's help. I will call all the carpenters in the county to make rice seedling horses together. He will stay to teach everyone how to make rice seedling horses. What do you think?"
"I, a commoner, will obey you, my Lord."
Coming here means he no longer has the right to choose.
"Spring plowing is in progress, time is tight and the task is heavy. As for your reward, we will talk about it after everything is settled. It will definitely not be less, don't worry."
When Zhao Dashu heard the accurate news, he felt more relieved knowing that his contribution would not be diminished.
He didn't care about the amount of money; what he cared about was his reputation and honor. It was enough that the county magistrate was willing to record his achievement.
The county magistrate was busy all the time, and the village chief and Zhao Dashu were also in a hurry to return to the village. Following them was a mule cart to pick up the carpenter.
"Dashu, let's go back quickly. There are two carpenters in the village who can do simple carpentry work. Xiaoyu has worked hard these past few days. The new items in our village must be used by the villagers first."
"What the village chief said is very true, but how do you plan to sell this thing? You can't give it away for free, right? You have to pay for one per household?"
"I'll talk to the carpenters about how much they charge for one. The villagers are not without money. If buying one can relieve the pain on their old waists, they will definitely be willing to do it."
Everything was decided by the village chief, and Zhao Dashu did not give any opinion. He did not do this to make money, and even if he did, it would not be much, unless they were the ones to produce all the rice seedlings in the county, the city, and the country.
This is unrealistic.
When they got home, everyone went back to their own homes. The village chief didn't even have time to eat, and went straight to find the village carpenter. The servants in the house heard that the county magistrate wanted him to teach carpentry how to make rice seedlings, so they didn't dare to delay for a moment. They packed up two sets of clothes and said goodbye to their master.
He was still very nervous when he got on the mule cart. Was it really appropriate for a half-baked person like him to teach others how to be a carpenter? What if the county magistrate blamed him for his poor performance?
"My girl, hurry up and eat. The village chief will bring a carpenter to see you soon. He will teach you how to make rice seedlings in our village. The carpenter..."
"Dad, go teach them. I'll explain the whole thing to you. The blueprints are ready. You followed along with us before we did it. It's fine for you to teach them."
"Xiaoyu you!"
"There are many people and many things gossips. Since this is something you came up with, do you think it's appropriate for me to teach you now? What if it gets out?"
"You are right. I will send someone to alert the village chief immediately."
