Chapter 167 The Plow is Sent
Xie Songlin was also a little surprised. Hearing Mr. Zhao's tone, he seemed to be very familiar with Chen Zhifei. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I have indeed met Master Chen."
Mr. Zhao asked, "In Qingshui Town?"
Xie Songlin nodded and said, "To be precise, it's inside the Hanfeng Academy."
"Oh? He actually came to the academy?"
"Yes, the prince was seriously injured and unconscious at the time. I stumbled upon him in the academy. Seeing his critical condition, I didn't bother to alert anyone else, so I took the initiative to bring him back to my home. He recuperated there for a while. Before the war, he came back again and gave the jade pendant to Ah Xing, and asked us to go to the capital as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's not stand at the door anymore, let's go inside and talk." Old Master Zhao said as he gently patted Xie Wanxing's little head.
"Mr. Zhao, please, we just arrived and our home is still rather simple. Please come and sit in the dining room." Xie Songlin stepped aside to make way and pointed in the direction of the dining room. The dining room was the most presentable place in the house. It was clean and tidy after all, and it allowed Mr. Zhao to sit down peacefully and have a good chat about the things that he had not had time to talk about yet.
Xie Songlin entered the kitchen and took out some tea leaves from the space under the cover of the kitchen. Thanks to Cheng Hui's thoughtful consideration, she had purchased a new set of tea sets before. Although this tea set was not a valuable item, it could at least prevent Mr. Zhao from having to drink even a sip of tea when he came to visit. With this, he could barely entertain him without being impolite.
Xie Songlin passed by with tea in his hand and saw Xie Lan reading in the yard. He said, "Lan'er, you stay here. If anyone comes, remember to warn me loudly."
Xie Lan nodded obediently: "I know, don't worry, father."
Xie Songlin walked into the dining room carrying a tray with tea leaves and tea sets, then gently closed the door to temporarily isolate himself from the sounds outside.
Xie Wanxing was sitting obediently on a small stool in the dining room at the moment. She pretended to be stupid and insisted on coming in, and Mr. Zhao surprisingly did not object at all and just let her come in and obey.
Xie Songlin asked as he set out the tea set to make tea, "Mr. Zhao, how did you know we were here?"
Mr. Zhao smiled mysteriously: "Of course I have my own way of knowing."
"Songlin, you just said at the door that you found Zhifei seriously injured in the academy. When did that happen?" Old Master Zhao put away his smile, his eyes became serious, and his tone revealed a sense of inquiry.
Xie Songlin pondered for a moment and said, "Probably during the entrance exam."
"So early, it seems Xu'er and the others discovered the rebellion in Yongzhou earlier than I thought." Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look emerging on his face.
He took a sip of the tea handed to him by Xie Songlin, and quickly sorted out various clues and information in his mind, as if he was rethinking the development of certain things.
"That brat Chen Zhifei actually stayed in your house for so long without telling the truth. Why didn't he come to see me?" Old Master Zhao curled his lips.
Xie Songlin secretly complained: That would require us to find you, because you were so mysterious and disappeared during that period.
"Oh, by the way, old man, the harvester and new plow made from those two blueprints..."
"I brought it back. The situation was urgent, so I ordered all the plows and harvesters we'd made to be shipped back to Beijing. I also brought the craftsmen with me. Now they're in a small farm in the suburbs." Old Man Zhao frowned. "I came to you because of this. I'm afraid the harvester isn't working. The coarse linen on the conveyor belt breaks after a few uses. The craftsmen are trying to figure out how to fix it. I came here to ask you to ask the person who drew the blueprints if he has any ideas."
"I'll ask about that for you," Xie Songlin agreed, then asked, "There shouldn't be any problems with the new plow, right?"
"That's definitely no problem. I'd also like to discuss it with you and see if we can let you try out the first batch first."
"That's great! I was just worrying about that." Xie Songlin's face lit up with a delighted smile upon hearing this. "We just arrived here and have just been allocated some land. We're still short of farm tools and everything. I was thinking about this today. After all, we're new here and have to start from scratch. It's going to be really hard to farm even if we have the land but no proper farm tools."
Although this new plow was just made, he was still relatively confident in his eldest daughter and Mr. Zhao. Moreover, this was a chance for them to try out the first batch, which was a good opportunity to test it carefully to see if there were any hidden problems. They could also feel in advance how much convenience this new plow could bring to work.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver a batch to you in the next two days." Old Master Zhao nodded, "I'll give you an address later. If you need anything in the future, you can send someone to deliver a letter to me."
Xie Songlin was filled with gratitude when he heard this, and quickly responded, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
"What are your plans at the moment?"
Xie Songlin said, "For now, we should fix up this place first. After all, we just moved here, and we still lack a lot of living space and things we need. We need to tidy it up properly so that our family can live comfortably."
He paused, then continued, "When I have time, I'll probably go back to town to continue my business. Our family can't just rely on farming for a living. You've returned to Beijing now, so what about Hanfeng Academy? Lan'er and the others are fine staying at home now, so if possible, I'd like to find them a place to continue their studies."
Elder Zhao sighed. "The situation was urgent at the time, and I only had time to notify all the students to evacuate. Fortunately, most of the students were evacuated successfully. Some of the teachers in the academy have also followed me to the capital. We are still selecting a site for the reconstruction of the academy. For the time being, let Xie Lan and the others study at home."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Zhao."
They talked for a while, mainly about Xie Songlin's future arrangements and the design drawing.
"Okay, I'm going back now," said Old Zhao, as he slowly stood up and straightened his robes. "I came here today mainly because I have some questions in my mind, and I want to talk to you about them. By the way, I want to talk to you about the two new farm tools. If this can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement. The current emperor has always attached great importance to farming. If he knew about this, he would definitely reward you. You must seize this opportunity."
When Xie Songlin heard what Mr. Zhao said, he immediately understood what he meant. It seemed that there was a high possibility that he would be able to eat this ancient woven meal in the future.
Moreover, Xie Songlin became excited at the thought of meeting the emperor. In modern times, that would be equivalent to meeting the national leader.
He quickly thanked Mr. Zhao: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
