Chapter 54 Zheng's family heirloom for thousands of years
Chapter 54
Just after seeing off his father, Hu Wei and Zheng Yuanxun, the fourth son of the Zheng family, came to Yang's house to visit.
Looking at the energetic Hu Wei and Zheng Yuanxun with a friendly smile, Yang Qian nodded and said with a polite smile. "Why are Brother Hu and Brother Zheng interested in coming today? Looking at Brother Hu's appearance, isn't it a good thing that happened to me?"
"Haha, of course it's a good thing. Seeing you, Brother Yu, is a good thing." Hu Wei laughed out loud.
"Brother Hu is right. Zheng also feels that every time he sees Brother Yang, good things can happen..." Zheng Yuanxun smiled, which made Yang Qian feel that there was something in his words.
"Zheng also has to thank my brother for giving the mercy of the last time to fulfill our brother's filial piety."
"Brother Zheng doesn't have to worry about this. I also have parents, so I just put my heart in it."
Zheng Yuanxun looked back and made a move, and saw two Zheng's entourage carrying a heavy box and placing it on the steps. Yang Qian couldn't help but be stunned. "Brother Zheng, what are you doing?"
Zheng Yuanxun walked to the big box, lifted the lid, revealing the booklets inside, stacked very neatly, and smiled at Yang Qian.
"My friend Zheng came to the door for the first time and really didn't know what to give to his brother. He learned from Brother Hu that his brother loved books and became a fool.
I heard that this good prescription for typhoid fever plague was collected by my virtuous brother from ancient medical books. My Zheng family in Xingyang has collected a lot of past medical classics over the past few hundred years.
Many of them are rare orphans in the world. These are also manuscripts of those orphans. They are gifts from Zheng's first arrival in the palace.
My dear brother likes to study and has time to visit my Zheng family in Xingyang. If you have a dear brother, you can have an idea for your family and let me copy and collect it."
Hu Wei, beside him, picked up a book and looked surprised after looking through it. "This is such a great thing, brother."
"The Zheng family in Xingyang has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless books in collections. Many of the lonely books are extremely precious and rarely show them to others. Even if I am a fool, I have studied in Xingyang for several years, I have few opportunities to allow me to go to the secret place to choose books and enjoy them."
When Yang Qian heard Hu Weina's exaggerated voice, he naturally showed a rare look of joy as he followed suit and bowed deeply to Zheng Yuanxun.
"Brother, such a gift, I really dare not refuse."
"Haha, just like you, and you finally live up to Zheng's intention..." Seeing Yang Qian's happy expression, Zheng Yuanxun was also relieved.

He led the two to the front hall to sit down, and Hu Wei signaled to the entourage behind him.
The follower quickly stepped forward and then put a heavy package on the table.
"This is the income from selling Junzi Lilac Brand Insect Sauce during this period, with a total of 735 jin and 430 jin.
According to the previous agreement with my brother, after deducting 30% of them, they all belong to my brother."
The bag was lifted up, revealing the fifty-one taels of gold and thousands of copper coins inside.
"So much?" Yang Qian couldn't help but look stunned and looked at Hu Wei.
"Hehe, who made you very capable, my brother? It would be great if you can sell a can of insect sauce from other merchants for 5 cents.
And this gentleman leek fragrant insect sauce is sold for seven months, and customers are still in a constant stream, especially in Dongdu, where there are countless repeat customers."
"My Zheng family has also purchased a lot of locust and made insect sauce. But I'm not hiding it, my Zheng family has sold my own insect sauce to the outside, but quietly bought the gentleman leek insect sauce for food." Zheng Yuanxun, the guy, whispered to Yang Qian.
Yang Qian smiled and didn't say much. After all, the formula was given by himself, so it naturally increased or decreased compared to the original version, but at least the taste was not much worse.
Only veteran drivers who never tire of food and fine meat will care so much about the small taste differences.
Yang Qian nodded slightly, took forty taels of gold, and wrapped the bag up again.

"Although that's the case, if there were no Hu's superb business techniques and sales channels, these gentlemen's leek fragrance insects could only watch them deteriorate."
Seeing Yang Qian's actions, Hu Wei's face looked a little ugly and sat in front of Yang Qian's counterpart. "I said, brother, you just don't treat me as a lie."
Seeing that Yang Qian was about to speak, Hu Wei shook his head firmly.
"Before, Hu said that it only costs 20%, but brother, you have to take out 30%. Since you are doing business, you have to be trustworthy. If you do this, you will underestimate me, Hu Wei."
"Zheng also thinks that Brother Hu is right. It's better for Brother Yang to accept the money. Don't hurt your affection for these things..." Zheng Yuanxun, who was beside him, also became a peacemaker.
"That's my brother's, I'll accept all the money. I wish us a happy next time."
Seeing Hu Wei so determined, Yang Qian no longer insisted, and asked the wealthy scholar Zhili, who was staring at the golden eyes, to receive the property on the table while paying.
The anger on Hu Wei's face disappeared, and he came forward with a smile and inquired about Yang Qian.
"That's right... I heard that Lingzun has improved the straight-rod plow into a curved plow. Just one ox and one person can be as fast as the straight-rod plow?"
Zheng Yuanxun next to him also looked at Yang Qian with an interesting exploration expression.
"How do you know?" Yang Qian was slightly stunned. County Magistrate Xu carried the curved plow back to the city for only a few days. It would be fine if Hu Wei knew about it, but Zheng Yuanxun also looked as if he was taken for granted...
"You are not aware of anything, my brother. Yesterday, Xu County Zun sent the lord Bo to find his father and brought a curved plow to illustrate its effectiveness. I asked my father to try it out with a group of Xingze gentry."
"Of course, I don't need to ask around for the source of this Quyuan Plough. Brother Zheng happened to come to find Brother Yu and wanted to see if the effect of the Quyuan Plough was as exaggerated as described."
If you want to see, there will naturally be no problems. Yang Qian directly invited these two people to the bank of the Yellow River, where the servants and tenants of the Yang Mansion were working hard.
There are also many villagers in Daze Village who are also helping there. Since they received the contract document, the Yang family has begun to attack those wastelands belonging to the Yang family.
In just a few days, hundreds of people took action together and had cultivated more than 100 acres. If you work hard, you can even plant wheat on the ground.
The newly reclaimed land was covered with a thick layer of marsh mud with a strong smell, and those were transported from the swamp land not far away.
These sludge made up of rotten plants for thousands of years can definitely be regarded as an excellent fertilizer.
Seeing that the fields being reclaimed were all cultivated, each person, a cow and a plow, Hu Wei and Zheng Yuanxun were just standing by the ridge of the field, covering their mouths and noses and marveling.
The Hu family manager who followed Hu Wei should be an old man who rushed to the edge of the field. While studying carefully, he asked the old man who was controlling the curved plow.
