Primordial World: Marrying the Eldest Princess, the Jade Emperor is Mad!

Wei Zheng's eyes flickered. Although he was a renowned minister of the Great Tang, his birth was not noble.

Therefore, his understanding of farming was profound.

With just a few observations, he grasped the advantages and disadvantages, as well as some features of the Qu Yuan Plow.

However, due to his lack of familiarity with the Qu Yuan Plow, some doubts remained unclear.

"Brother Wei, didn't you say you weren't coming here?"

A calm yet somewhat familiar laugh rang out.

Wei Zheng looked up and saw Bai Qianli, still elegantly fanning himself with a folding fan.

"Haha, I wondered who it was. It's Brother Bai.

I heard your introduction and became curious, so I came to take a look!

After all, such a wondrous sight is rare even in Chang'an, isn't it?"

Wei Zheng quickly found an excuse, and at the same time, tested Bai Qianli again.

Let alone decades in the mortal world, even when he had walked in the Heavenly Court.

Wei Zheng had met few people with Bai Qianli's demeanor.

Therefore, Wei Zheng was truly curious about Bai Qianli's identity.

"Heh heh, in that case, I should have waited in town for a while."

Bai Qianli did not respond to Wei Zheng's probing but looked at the laughing demons and asked.

"Then, Brother Wei, what are your thoughts on this place?"

Wei Zheng straightened his body, his gaze sweeping across the assembled humans and demons.

His mind raced. What did Bai Qianli mean by that?

Was he testing whether he had any prejudice against demons, or was he asking for his opinion of this place?

"Heh heh, Brother Bai is joking. I have just arrived and have not conducted any investigations.

Opinions without evidence are always just prejudice!"

"Prejudice, Brother Wei, you are insightful!"

Bai Qianli's eyes darkened. He closed his folding fan and tapped it a few times on his palm.

He nodded slightly in his heart, considering the answer to be quite pertinent.

It was indeed worth his effort to bring Wei Zheng here.

"Since Brother Wei wishes to see more, I can take this opportunity to introduce you!"

"Oh? Brother Bai is very capable. Then I shall not refuse your kind offer!"

Afterward, Bai Qianli led Wei Zheng to Chen Fan's side.

"Brother Chen, this Brother Wei is a high-ranking official from the capital. He heard of your achievements and came specifically to find you. Brother Chen, show us what you've got!"

Hearing Bai Qianli reveal his identity, Wei Zheng's expression suddenly changed.

He had come here in secret, and the news should not have left Chang'an yet.

Bai Qianli's ability to instantly identify him meant he was definitely not simple.

Indeed, the chance encounter at the restaurant was no accident.

No wonder the guards downstairs said they hadn't seen this person enter or leave.

Facing Wei Zheng's gaze, Bai Qianli responded with a frank smile.

He hid his identity because he didn't want to attract certain people's attention.

But that didn't mean he would act timidly here.

For the Great Human Sage's enlightenment, human dynasties were an unavoidable hurdle.

"Greetings, Lord Wei!"

Chen Fan hadn't expected Wei Zheng to come all the way here just two days after arriving in Qingshi Town.

Hearing Bai Qianli's introduction, he quickly stepped forward to bow, then pulled the Village Chief over.

"This is our village chief, Zhao Dama!"

"This humble servant, Zhao Dama, pays his respects to your lordship!"

Saying that, the Village Chief prepared to kneel before Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng quickly stepped forward and helped the Village Chief up, saying.

"Village Chief Zhao, you are too kind. I am not wearing my official robes now, so I am not an official.

Your great courtesy, Village Chief Zhao, truly humbles me."

Wei Zheng held the Village Chief's arm and looked at the plows that had just turned back in the distance.

His heart suddenly rejoiced, This thing can even turn around on the spot?

"Village Chief, could you introduce this thing to me? If possible, I'd like to try it myself, alright?"

"Of course, but this was not made by this old man, but rather..."

The Village Chief pulled Chen Fan in front of him and introduced him.

"This is called the Qu Yuan Plow, made by Chen Fan. I beg your pardon, sir!"

Wei Zheng nodded upon seeing this. He didn't covet the credit; this Village Chief had good character.

Chen Fan didn't stand on ceremony and called out to Dazhuang, telling him to come down.

Wei Zheng, now in his element, became much more serious and immediately stated his terms.

"Wait, change the ox. Bring an ordinary steer. Mister Chen, please forgive me, Ox Demons are not something ordinary villages can afford!"

Wei Zheng gave Chen Fan a deep look, then turned to the Village Chief.

"I'll trouble the Village Chief to assist me, and let's try this Qu Yuan Plow together, how about it?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, please, sir!"

The Village Chief's smile was frozen on his face as he quickly agreed.

Bai Qianli watched Wei Zheng roll up his sleeves and nudged Chen Fan with a laugh.

"It seems he suspects you of having ulterior motives!"

Facing Bai Qianli's teasing, Chen Fan remained calm and collected, appearing confident.

"Buying over demons, winning people's hearts... if he didn't suspect me, he wouldn't be Wei Zheng!"

"You've never left Zhao Family Village before, how do you know Wei Zheng's personality?"

This time, Bai Qianli was surprised. Chen Fan had so much faith in Wei Zheng. This was not in line with how ordinary villagers viewed officials. In Bai Qianli's opinion, the Village Chief's reaction was normal.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips, and he muttered inwardly.

"You want to show off? Who can't?"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Subduing Wei Zheng, In Huoyun Cave!

After plowing a circle with the Village Chief, Wei Zheng clapped his hands and touched the Qu Yuan Plow with sparkling eyes.

"This Qu Yuan Plow is excellent. It digs deeper into the soil, is more labor-saving, and the ox isn't overly tired!"

Wei Zheng also observed the ox's condition and finally reached a conclusion.

The Great Tang had just been established, and it was a time of vast land and sparse population. A tool like this, which could save manpower and yield more grain, would surely delight His Majesty if he knew about it. If the treasury were not so meager, lacking sufficient funds and grain to support it, why would His Majesty tolerate the increasingly rampant Shuoli?

Then, Wei Zheng's brow furrowed slightly, and he thought of a drawback. Plows were comparable to large items like beds and cabinets in a farmer's household. The importance of a good set of plows for farmers was self-evident. However, the cost of crafting a set of plows was also not cheap. For ordinary families, every single coin was carefully accounted for, as if they wished to split it in two to spend.
