Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Li Wangyou remembered a top grade tea produced in the Qinling Mountains that he had drunk in his previous life.

Yao Wang Tea!

This kind of magic tea in the depths of the Qinling Mountains is only wild and cannot be grown artificially.

The King of Medicine Tea is said to have been discovered by Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine of Great Tang, during the closed-door cultivation of Taibai Mountain in Qinling.

According to legend, when he lived in Taibai Mountain, he often picked a kind of leaf tea known as the tea lady to make tea. He also introduced it to mountain people and herbalists to drink, and later generations called it Yaowang tea.

“Taibai Materia Medica” records that Yaowang Tea has a flat, slightly sweet taste and enters the heart, liver and spleen meridian. Clear heat, nourish the brain, clear the heart, invigorate the stomach, reduce dampness, improve eyesight, regulate menstruation.

Li Wangyou knows that although it is called Yaowangcha, it is not actually tea, but a plant called “Huaxi Silver Lamei”.

Yaowang Tea has a lingering fragrance after seven infusions. It is a rare high grade tea.

When Li Wangyou thought of this, his saliva almost came out. Drink tea, he really wants to drink tea, not Great Tang’s damn tea!

After pondering, Li Wangyou ran out immediately, and he went to the Niu Family brother to help pick tea.

Qinling Mountains, Li Wangyou conceited that he did not have this ability to enter. However, Niu Family brothers often go hunting in the Qinling Mountains. I would like to ask them to help pick this tea and come back without any problems.

If you can pick Yaowang tea, you and Su Changqing will have the best tea to drink. Thinking of this, Li Wangyou speeds up.

Sure enough, the Niu Family brother was at home, and Li Wangyou wanted to ask them to help pick a plant’s leaves in Taibai Mountain when he entered the mountain. Nodded immediately agreed without hesitation.

“Small master, don’t worry, my brother and I are planning to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. We can help you go to Taibai Mountain to pick the leaves by the way.” Niu Wu patted his chest and agreed nonchalantly .

“Then thank you two elder brothers, I will invite them to eat at home when I come back.” Li Wangyou joyfully said.

“Pig-killing rice?” Niu Wu never forgets the pork-killing rice I ate that day.

Niu Yong glared at his younger brother, but he thought it out.

Li Wangyou is a black line, you have to kill a pig for a meal? The landlord has no more food!

He quickly explained: “Pig-killing rice is not something that can be made often, but it is also a delicacy made from pork.”

Li Wangyou described the appearance of Yaowang tea again. , I made sure that Niu Family brother wrote them all down before leaving.

Niu Family brother goes hunting in the Qinling Mountains, usually for a week or so. Thinking that there will be tea after a week, Li Wangyou is full of expectations.

The next day, Yang Zuan really had the words to say, and he drove ten cattle to Li Wangyou early in the morning, which once again caused a sensation in Dingzhou Village.

Li Wangyou was very simple, and directly handed over the ten cattle to Old Village Head. Including the previous ones, a total of 20 cattle were lent to the village for spring farming free of charge, and the village only needed to send someone to help him manage the saline soil.

All the people in the village now know that after the Old Village Head’s publicity, Li Wangyou used the drawing of the water truck in exchange for the halving of the village rent this year because of Su Changqing’s request.

Together with this free farming cattle loaned to the village, and Li Wangyous unforgettable pig-killing rice…In short, now Li Wangyous prestige in the village is catching up to Old Village Head, There is even more than that.

If it hadn’t been for Old Village Head to stop him, it is estimated that a lot of villagers would come to Li Wangyou to give thanks.

Li Wangyou and Su Changqing are now walking in the village, and villagers will greet them warmly at any time. From time to time, villagers send fresh mountain products to their families to express their gratitude.

The Niu Family brother went hunting in the mountains, and Li Wangyou also went to the Gan River, and began to instruct the farmers who helped him to dig canals and release water.

After being soaked in river water for two days, dig a canal to release the water, wait for the water in the saline soil to drain, plug the gap again, release the water again to infuse, this operation has to be repeated three or four times to wash out the soil The alkali content contained in it.

While Li Wangyou was standing on the embankment watching everyone work, a river boat came slowly from the lower reaches of the Gan River, which is rare.

Because Chang’an City is in the lower reaches of Gan River, general river boats go to Ch_ng’n Dongwei Bridge Pier. Except for fishing boats, there are very few river boats carrying cargo on the Gan River.

Li Wangyou looked curiously, but saw a person standing on the bow of the boat waving at him. Looking at his body shape, Li Wangyou knew that it was Qiu Kun who was fatty who was back.

“Brother, how come by boat?” Li Wangyou asked curiously. It takes only one hour to ride from Chang’an City to Dingzhou Village, but it takes two days to take a boat.

“haha, small master, thank you so much for your news this time. My lord asked me to bring you a hundred shi of grain. As a thank you, please accept it.” Qiu Kun Station Loudly shouted at the bow.

One hundred stone grain? This is a surprise.

Li Wangyou is now good at food, and of course he will not refuse. With a smile on his face, he watched the river boat dock, thinking that Qiu Kun would not charge him for his meals this time.

Well, I really am a good person, too generous!

Li Wangyou is very shameless in the heart and praises himself. If Qiu Kun can hear his heart, I don’t know if he will have the urge to kill him.

Li Wangyou was still praising himself, but he heard a whisper from the fatty: “Small master, what are these things that turn by themselves?”

“Waterwheel, used to mention Irrigated by water. Li Wangyou explained.

Qiu Kun didn’t even bother to talk to Li Wangyou. After jumping ashore, he ran to the waterwheel and looked up and down carefully.

“This waterwheel is amazing! It is actually pushed by the current to automatically rotate and lift water! Small master, I am afraid that you did not create it?” Qiu Kun, a fatty, can see the waterwheel rotating at a glance. The key to Li Wangyou was a little surprised.

Li Wangyou nodded: “The enemy has good eyesight.”

“Haha, in fact, there is also farming in my house. I wonder if this waterwheel can instruct my enemy? Dont worry, I use it. The food will be exchanged with you!” Qiu Kun blinked a few small eyes on his fat face and immediately made his request.

“Do you want a waterwheel? If you want to change it, I will give you the drawing of the waterwheel.” After taking four hundred stone grains from the enemy, Li Wangyou was embarrassed to collect the money.

If Yang Zuan knows that Li Wangyou gave the waterwheel drawing to his enemies, I am afraid that he will have the heart to kill with the knife. But he was blackmailed by Li Wangyou for the drawing of ten cattle in exchange for the drawing.

After some conversation, Li Wangyou realized that this enemy was not only a large grain merchant in Ch_ng’n, but also a large landlord.

Their family owns a lot of land in both Hebei and Jiannan Roads, and has a Farming Village specializing in growing food. The North China Plain and the Sichuan Plain are both the main grain producing areas of Great Tang, but Li Wangyou did not expect Qiu Jia to have such a large layout.

With so much land, water consumption is naturally huge.

Qiu Kun saw the value of this waterwheel at a glance, so he proposed to Li Wangyou to buy a waterwheel manufacturer. If Qius Farming Village is equipped with waterwheels, Qiu Kun estimates that food production can increase by at least 10%.

Seeing Li Wangyou’s willingness to present the drawing of the waterwheel, Qiu Kun was overjoyed and thanked Li Wangyou for his generosity.

Ask someone to help him carry the grain home. With so much grain, old steward Li Heng’s face was filled with a smile, and he began to wonder if he should build another granary at home.

Inviting Qiu Kun to sit in the hall, Li Wangyou intends to ask Qiu Kun how his family plans to deal with the coming locust plague.
