Chapter 94 Strike the Iron(1/2)

"Bring that iron plow."

Wei Zhenzhi said while looking at Shen Yi who was sweating profusely in the distance. At this time, he had already changed out of his loose robes and put on more smart clothes.

Shen Yi thought he could watch Wei Zhenzhi working, so he watched the excitement from the side.

Unexpectedly, this damn Wei Zhenzhi actually told the Prime Minister that the Prime Minister asked him to be his thug.

Damn complainer.

This Wei Zhenzhi went too far. Not only was he ordered to carry seeds, he was also ordered to fetch water. His noble body was reduced to this.

If old friends saw it, they would probably laugh out loud.

"You don't know how to hold it yourself, you don't have any hands, right?"

Shen Yi wiped the sweat with his sleeve. He was carrying seeds and carrying water. The sun was quite bright.

This is the first time that he hates such hot sunshine so much. Although the sunshine is not strong, it is almost the beginning of summer.

What's more, he has never worked like this before.

"Then come here, I will be your deputy, and you will do the farming."

Wei Zhenzhi scolded him back. He wasn't very relaxed, right? The different types of rice seedlings that he finally obtained must be studied carefully. He just asked you to pick up an iron plow and complain.

What's more, he is returning to his old business, and he is very new to it, and he hasn't done much farm work in the past. Of course, he needs a lot of help.

He has done nothing in the past few years, which makes it a bit difficult for him to do anything.

Shen Yi choked, looked at the iron plows placed on the ground, picked them up helplessly and handed them to Wei Zhenzhi.

"You said you've been working on it for a long time. What did you come up with?"

Shen Yi looked at Wei Zhenzhi and said that he had only done so much rice seedlings all morning. It was too slow.

"Not yet. How could it be researched so quickly? I will plant these different rice seedlings together to see if different rice will grow."

Wei Zhenzhi's hands were covered with soil as he looked at these miscellaneous rice seedlings.

This is a farmland that belongs to Xie Ji. He gave this farmland to Wei Zhenzhi and two people for experimentation. The perimeter was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to approach.

"Do you think this can be done? If you can't even grow a grain of rice with your nonsense, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Is this just a fool's errand? Can it be done?"

"Didn't the Prime Minister say last time that there was an ancient book like this? If you hybridize many fine varieties of rice, you can harvest more."

Wei Zhenzhi also felt a bit ridiculous? Is this okay?

"Don't be deceived by the Prime Minister. He may be lying? This iron plow is so heavy and heavy. It took a lot of strength for me to pick it up. It's not convenient at all. I haven't seen how much you've done after you've been working on it for a long time. As for the soil, it’s better to just dig it with your hands.”

Even at this time, Shen Yi did not forget to tease Wei Zhenzhi.

I was even a little dissatisfied with Xie Ji's approach. He was a scholar-bureaucrat, not a farmer. Why should I turn to farmers if I wanted to farm? Why should I turn to him?

I think it’s true that he’s done great work and died from exhaustion.

"What's the benefit of the Prime Minister lying to us?" Wei Zhenzhi retorted. Shen Yi was becoming more and more courageous.

Wait, this iron plow is indeed a bit inconvenient, "Doctor Shen, it's hard to say whether I can grow rice, but if it happens? It will really speed up the planting of rice."

"You're not talking in your sleep, are you? You're so slow, you still want to speed up." Shen Yi saw that Wei Zhenzhi was doing it very slowly. Why did he suddenly say that he wanted to speed up? How to speed up? I think you can do it. No matter how serious you are, the speed won't improve much.

"Take it, let's go."

Wei Zhenzhi threw the iron plow to Shen Yi and walked towards the exit in front.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Yi said as he watched Wei Zhenzhi leave.

"Find ways to increase farming speed."

…………

"You don't know how to take it yourself, and you still want me to take it. I'm almost exhausted, you know?"

Shen Yi saw Wei Zhenzhi stop in front of a blacksmith shop and cursed behind him. He was really exhausted.

"We're here." Wei Zhenzhi ignored Shen Yi, who was about to collapse from exhaustion, and directly took the iron plow from him, regardless of Shen Yi's feelings.

Shen Yi:…………

Damn Wei Zhenzhi, you really thought I was your killer. I took it for so long and you didn't even say a word of thanks.

"What are you doing in this blacksmith shop, you blacksmith?"

Wei Zhenzhi cursed angrily, asking him to farm, but this time he wanted to forge iron.

The bastard who beats you, you are not tired, but he is too tired to panic?

I didn't see that he was already paralyzed from exhaustion, and he was about to collapse, you know?

"That's right, I'm here to strike iron."

Wei Zhenzhi looked like you were so smart and you guessed it right, which made Shen Yi want to beat Wei Zhenzhi up.

"Go and strike your stinking iron. You go and strike your iron. I'm leaving. Let's go back and take a nap. I've never been as miserable as I am today."

Shen said he quit. He usually slept at this time, but he was as dirty as today, like a beggar.

"Why are you sleeping? Don't be lazy for me. You are already my second-in-command and you still want to be lazy and want to be beautiful." Wei Zhenzhi dragged Shen Yi directly into the blacksmith shop.

"Two guests, what do you want to prepare?"

When the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop saw Wei Zhenzhi and Shen Yi, he came out to greet them enthusiastically.

"I found that this iron plow has poor digging ability. This can be improved."

Wei Zhenzhi said to the blacksmith.

"Improve it?"

The master blacksmith looked at Wei Zhenzhi suspiciously.

"That's right, just improve it. Here are one hundred taels. If the transformation is successful, it will be yours. Can you do it?"

Wei Zhenzhi generously took out one hundred taels this time. He had not spent much silver taels in these years, and this time he gave a much more money to a blacksmith.

"Yes, yes, absolutely. It can be completed in three days. Guest, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory iron plow in three days."

The blacksmith master kept his eyes on Wei Zhenzhi's silver coins. For money, he had to do it even if he couldn't.

Although I don’t know where the man covered in dirt in front of me got one hundred taels of silver.

But why should he have trouble with money?

"That's good, I'll pick it up in three days." Wei Zhenzhi said, this is best.

"Guest, don't worry. Looking at the world, I dare not say that I am the first in the iron I have made, but I dare to say that I am the second."

The blacksmith shop owner patted his chest.

"Let's go."

Wei Zhenzhi dragged Shen Yi out of the blacksmith shop again.

"One hundred taels, you are unprecedented!"

"How dare you, a miser like you, give out one hundred taels of silver?"

Shen Yi was a little unbelievable that Wei Zhenzhi actually took out a hundred taels to hit the iron.

He would definitely not be surprised if someone else took out a hundred taels, but who was it?

This is a miser!

He actually took out one hundred taels of silver. How strange!

Shen Yi stared at Wei Zhenzhi with surprised eyes.

Wei Zhenzhi despised Shen Yi. It was true that he was a miser, but he knew how to save where he should, and he didn't save where he shouldn't.

If Xie Ji knew Wei Zhenzhi's thoughts, he might complain mentally, "You call provinces where they should be provinces, but not provinces where they shouldn't be?"

Wei Zhenzhi and Shen Yi walked to the East Market while chatting. The streets here were more prosperous. Although it was not a feast for the eyes, there was an endless stream of people coming and going and it was very lively.

Since it is the East Market, most of the people coming and going are dignitaries and wealthy people.

Instead, Wei Zhenzhi and Shen Yi became very noticeable, as conspicuous as two black beads mixed in a pile of white beads.

Because poor people will not come to Dongshi to hang out, and even domestic servants will not be covered in mud.

Therefore, many people looked at Wei Zhenzhi and Shen Yi with strange eyes.

"We are despised."

Wei Zhenzhi said to Shen Yi that they were looked down upon.

Shen Yi looked a little annoyed as he looked at the people around him pointing at them. When had he ever been so angry?

He often wandered around here and no one gave him any trouble. He just went to work in the farmland for a while and then he came out and was told like this.

Just want to make him angry to death.

"What are you looking at? You haven't seen anyone, right? Go and do whatever you need to do."
