The crowd stopped outside a compound backed by a dense forest.

It was an ordinary house with three entrances. The walls were made of dusty cement, making it stand out from the crowd.

In front of the courtyard gate stood two sturdy men, standing astride their swords and staring eagerly at them.

Not only that, but there are also heavily armed horse teams patrolling from time to time, and the management is obviously extremely strict.

Occasionally, if a naughty farmer's child came close, he would be severely scolded by the guards and run away crying in fear.

When you walk in from the gate, you can see guards patrolling around with weapons everywhere.

Tang San explained flatteringly: "According to the order of the Marquis, I have arranged for Lao Zhangtou and his family to be at the very back of the village. Their food and accommodation are at the back of the second courtyard. They are not allowed to go out unless nothing happens."

"Outsiders don't have a warrant from the Marquis, and even villains can't easily come in. The experimental field is right next to the secret order. Hundreds of acres of land have been set aside, and they are also surrounded by cement walls. No one is allowed to enter or exit."

Tang Qi asked while watching: "How is the mood of Lao Zhangtou's family? Are they dissatisfied?"

"Don't worry, I know that you value Lao Zhangtou's family and provide them with the best food and accommodation. As long as you complete the tasks you gave, you will get a full 100 acres of fertile land and a house will be allocated in the village.

Where can such a good thing happen?"

Tang San couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "Now, old Zhangtou and his family can't wait to enshrine you, Lord Marquis, and burn incense every day!"

"Okay, just be sensible." Tang Qi said, "Go and call Lao Zhangtou and tell him that I want to see their research results."

"yes!"

After Tang San ran away in a hurry, Tang Qi and Wei Qing sat down in the front hall, and their servants served them tea.

Because the front yard is the residence of the guards and is almost completely separated from the back yard, even though there are a lot of people in the compound, sitting in the front hall will not make you feel noisy.

Wei Qing asked curiously: "The guards are so tight. Could it be that there is Mr. Shanmen's secret technique hidden inside?"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended. In addition to a few masters, there were countless niche schools that had not been widely disseminated.

After experiencing the troubled times of Qin and the Six Kingdoms and the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony, these small schools of thought with little foundation often hid in the mountains in groups to avoid disaster.

After the development of Emperor Wu, these schools began to gain a foothold in various places and recruit disciples.

His students and disciples are called "Shanmen disciples" by the world.

In the Han Dynasty, the disciples of Shanmen, like students of Confucianism, Taoism and other schools, enjoyed a very high social status and were an important part of the disciples of aristocratic families.

Although the theory is not mainstream, if you become an official, you can still get a good .asxs...

Of course, Tang Qi's identity as a "celestial sect" cannot be widely publicized, and his origins are very mysterious, so many people in the court labeled this airborne Da Nong Order as a disciple of the sect.

After Liu Che found out, he felt that this identity cover was not bad, so he personally endorsed Tang Qi, thus confirming his identity as a disciple of the sect.

From then on, no matter what new tricks Tang Qi came up with, they could all be regarded as "learned by Shanmen".

Having a teacher to follow is better than knowing something from birth. Immortals descending to earth are much more low-key, and people will also put their curiosity on the non-existent "mountain gate" behind Tang Qi.

Wei Qing, of course, had to be on the same page as the emperor in front of outsiders.

Tang Qi had long been accustomed to this and said with a smile: "It's not wrong to say it's a secret technique. Do you remember Qu Yuanli?"

When they were still on the desert island, Liu Che, his wife and Wei Qing admired Qu Yuuli very much, and later moved all the finished products on the island back to Dahan.

Now we just have to wait for the young master to follow the same example and make a batch. After the experiment is successful and there are no problems, it can be promoted all over the world.

Of course Wei Qing remembered: "Sir, is it possible that you want to make large quantities of Quyuan plows and sell them to powerful families to make money? I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Tang Qi rolled his eyes: "Am I that stupid?"

The advantage of the curved shaft plow is that it can promote intensive farming and is a powerful tool for the ancient small farmer economy.

For small households, the use of curved shaft plows can greatly liberate the labor force and further increase grain production. It is amazing!

But for the rich and powerful, who often have tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in one area and mainly rely on tenants and long-term workers for farming, the bend-shaped plow is relatively useless.

They have no shortage of people, do not need to participate in labor personally, and have no motivation to improve the working conditions of tenant servants, so the need for Quyuan plow is naturally not urgent.

In future promotion, the main targets will still be farmers and small landowners.

It is also commonly known as "good family son".

Who was Tang Qi? Of course he would not harvest the leeks of the Western Han dynasty farmers who already lived a hard life.

As if by magic, he took out a blueprint and handed it to Wei Qing.

"How about it? Can you understand it?"

Wei Qing took it and looked at it carefully: "This thing is somewhat similar to the Quyuan plow. Could it be that Mr. has improved the farm tools again?"

"That's right!" Tang Qi became excited, "Do you know how powerful this thing is?"

"This thing is called the Eight Ox Plow. It is suitable for plowing large fields and reclaiming wasteland. The power of one plow can be ten times that of the current curved shaft plow..."

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Wei Qing was very smart. Hearing this, he immediately interrupted Tang Qi seriously.

He stood up with his sword in his hand and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

The soldiers quickly ran in.

"Send someone to surround this house. No one can enter or leave without my order! Not even a fly can fly in!"

"promise!"

Wei Qing's personal soldiers were from the army, but they followed him into the grasslands and killed the Huns.

They are different from these half-baked guards at Tang Qizhuang.

After a while, the entire courtyard was tightly surrounded. The guards in front and behind the door were replaced by capable soldiers, and the guards were driven to the outside.

Everyone knew that these were the general's personal soldiers, and the guards dared not speak out in anger, so they had no choice but to do a good job of protecting the perimeter.

"Wei Qing acted without permission, sir, please don't blame me." Wei Qing said solemnly, "May I ask, sir, if this thing has been finished?"

Tang Qi also knew the importance of the Eight Niu Plow, and said indifferently: "We already have it, and Lao Zhangtou is leading his apprentices to expand production."

"boom!"

Wei Qing banged his fist on the table and jumped up with excitement: "Such a big happy event must be reported to His Majesty immediately! Sir, you are working for my big Han Liyi again!"

After saying this, without waiting for Tang Qi to express his position, he immediately sent someone with the general's hand card to ride a fast horse back to Chang'an to report to Liu Che.

Tang Qi was not surprised. Liu Che would have to know about it sooner or later.

He waved towards the small door in the corner: "What are you standing for? Come in!"

The person huddled beside the door was Tang San, and beside him stood a trembling little old man, the "Old Zhangtou" in Tang Qi's mouth.
