Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 332;

Chapter 330 three;

Zou Shuyi and sisters knew that it was Li Yu when they heard someone talking next to them.

The two sisters turned their heads, watched Li Yu speak, and only waited for Li Yu's voice to fall, before Zou Shuyi spoke;
"Lang Jun, when did you come, the servants don't even know?"

Li Yu was in a good mood today, and couldn't help but start acting up again;
"Your lord, I have not been here for a while, why did you come to me for something important?"

Zou Shuyi secretly glanced at her sister from the corner of her eye, and found that her sister was indifferent, so she felt relieved;
"I would like to report to you sir, there is nothing important for now, but if you are free, you can sit at home for a while. The slave's family has also found Liu Sheng, the chief steward of the kitchen, and learned a few good dishes. Sora, please give me some pointers."

Li Yu stared at the more delicate Zou Shujuan next to Zou Shuyi, and said with a smile;

"It's easy to say, my lord is free today, by the way, Mrs. Zou, I heard that you are also an old hand in the kitchen.

Why don't you invite me to go to your house to try your handicrafts? When you have free time, a certain family will also sit with him for half a day. Let's talk about some homely things to enhance our relationship? "

Zou Shujuan was about to answer when she saw her sister rushing to agree;
"That's very good, Shujuan just said that she wants to pack some meat and vegetables tonight, and invite Mr. Lang to have a party, and let's talk about some important issues in farming.

After finishing this meeting, it will be mentioned that it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. If Mr. Lang is free today, he can go to Shujuan's place... Sister, don't you think so? "

"Huh? Oh, yes, sister."

"Well, if a certain family accepts it, then how much trouble will it cause, Mrs. Zou?"

Zou Shujuan replied nervously;

"Don't bother me, Mr. Lang comes to the door, and the scorpion is full of brilliance, so it's not easy for my slave to turn me away."

Li Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zou Shujuan's weird words.

Zou Shuyi turned her head, gave her sister a hard look, and scolded her in a low voice;

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's our blessing that Mr. Lang can go to your place. If you don't want to be rejected, you can't speak, so just say a few words."

Zou Shuyijuan also knows her personality, she is not good at socializing and speaking, she always speaks inappropriately and cannot help herself, and her words will inevitably make people laugh, so she lowered her head and agreed when she listened to her sister's lesson;
"It's sister, I know."

Several farmers nearby saw that Zou Shujuan, who was in charge, couldn't even say a word in a scene, and they all suppressed their smiles. One of them couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

The provoking Zou Shuyi looked over with a dark face, and that person knew something was wrong. Seeing the agricultural manager staring at him, she quickly covered her mouth and disappeared among the people.

Zou Shuyi turned her head, and immediately changed her face again, smiling sweetly;

"Lang Jun, why don't our sisters go back and prepare first, get some mutton, buy some vegetables to go back, and there is still a jar of wine, so there is no need to go to the workshop to ask for it. After dark, after work is over, Lang Jun will go directly. .”

"Don't worry, it's never too late to go home after work. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go out at night. I've built something here. The lady can see if it's useful. Li Yi brought the rake and asked the chief steward to take a look. .”

"It's Mr. Lang."

Li Yi commanded his servants to come forward with a few rake wooden frames and put the wooden frames on the ground. Zou Shuyi looked at the door frames suspiciously and said;

"Lang Jun, is this going to be a door frame? It's too small, and the height doesn't fit?"

Li Yu said triumphantly;
"Miss, look again, look carefully, this is not a door frame, this is my latest creation, and I will distribute it to you for use, and it is also a farm tool to serve the fields."

"farm tools?"

"Of course."

Zou Shuyi looked at it several times and still didn't know what it was for, so she couldn't help but wonder;

"But my family has never seen this kind of farming tools, please forgive my ignorance."

Li Yu knew what he couldn't explain clearly, so he began to induce;

"My lady, tell me first, isn't the new plow plowing the land much faster?"

Speaking of this, Zou Shuyi certainly has the right to speak. She has been guarding here for a long time, just to see with her own eyes where the apex of a plow pulled by an ox is.

One hour or two hours, not to mention Zou Shuyi at the beginning, the hearts of all the people were tugging.

I was afraid that the cattle would be exhausted and unable to move in half an hour. It was almost half a day until now, and the cattle were still pulling the plow unhurriedly, and the hearts of the people were relieved.

Zou Shuyi was also more relieved, now that the gentleman asked this, Zou Shuyi answered immediately;
"Lang Jun made this new plow really fast and frighteningly fast. Brother, he has been leading the oxen to plow the field for half a day, and he has rested four or five times, each time for a short rest, and then resumed plowing.

At this time, seven acres have been plowed. It seems that there is no problem with the cattle. It should be possible to plow another three or four acres before dark.

This old plow with two oxen is no good. It is very fast to get three acres of land before dark, but it has always been like this before, so there is no need to be surprised. "

Li Yu thought to himself, isn’t this nonsense? The straight and curved plow, straight up and down, doesn’t pay attention to physical effects, without any skills, just rely on the strength of two cows, don’t move forward, it’s enough to plow three acres in half a day;

"Then lady, let's take a look again. Whether it's a new plow or an old plow, how should we deal with the big clods that are produced after the plow has passed?"

"Oh my lord said this, of course it is human power. After plowing the field, take a hoe and beat them one by one to break them, otherwise there is no way to sow the seeds. Children know this problem."

Li Yu patiently explained;

"It's too difficult and too slow to solve it by manpower. The farming season lasts only ten or eight days, and it's all rushing to plant and harvest.

First, you plow slowly with old plows, and second, you use human power to break up the clods of soil, wasting a lot of time in vain, and you are still very tired.

The key is that if the season is missed, the last crops planted may not all germinate, or grow slowly. "

A group of ordinary householders next to them kept nodding, and one of them, an old man in his 50s, couldn't help but speak;

"What Mr. Lang said is exactly the pity of the peasants in the world. It is precisely because of these two points that many peasants are delayed. It's the season.

When harvesting, there is only a small amount of output. After paying the rent, the grain for the next year will be left over, and the rest... That's why old people starve to death every year all over the world. "

An older man next to the little old man also answered;
"Yeah, the old people are looking forward to the continuation of the family, and I have passed half my life anyway, so most of the people who starve to death are old people.

It is so rare to leave food for future generations to eat. If we run out of food, my wife and I will choose to starve to death to save the lives of future generations. "

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is right."

"Isn't it? I, Aye, was afraid that we had nothing to eat, so I resisted not eating, and starved myself to death..."

"Don't be discouraged. Fortunately, we all escaped and came to Li's village. Old Alang took us in and survived. We haven't starved to death in these years, right? What's wrong?"

"Hey, what you said, we didn't starve to death, that's our fate. We don't have to worry about starving to death when we meet Alang and Langjun, but there is only one Alang and one Langjun in the world. People are still starving to death every year."

"Exactly, what Old Man Wang said is true, we are fine, the world is not like this.

But fortunately, there is such a fast plow made by Mr. Lang. The speed of this plow alone can save farmers in the world at least two days when farming. With these two days to spare, everyone's grain , how many will increase some. "

"Yes, yes, old man Liu, what you said is true. I am a greedy person. I am thinking quietly today. If I am a gentleman, I will remodel this quick plow again.
It would be even more beautiful if the big clods that were plowed out were turned into fine powder. In that case, the whole family would not have to go to battle day and night to smash the soil, and it would save two days of time. Wouldn't it be more beautiful like this? "

"Hey, old Wangtou, you are really greedy, and you know it's greed?"

"That's right, it's already a blessing from the heavens that Mr. Lang can come up with such a fast plow, and if you have to be greedy, it's not like the gods can't stand your idea..."

Li Yu didn't say a word, watching the people talking to each other, this meeting finally came to the point, Li Yu waved his hand;
Folks, listen to me, I have already thought of a way to solve this big piece of dirt, so I don't have to worry about it in the future, and it can be regarded as a benefit for the people of the world.

Everyone, please see, this is built by a master called the public loser. There are two horizontal bars at the front and back of this wooden frame, and there are nine nails at the bottom of each.

These nine nails leak out half a foot and are tied to the ox harness, and the clods of soil can be smashed into pieces by going back and forth twice.

Everyone must not know how to do it right, it’s okay, there is one cow left here, which is useless, which folks can control the cow,

Come out and do me a favor, get it for everyone, and you will understand, otherwise I will talk about it here until tomorrow, and I will still not be able to explain it clearly. "

Before Li Yu finished speaking, the crowd became lively, more than a dozen people scrambled to stand up, saying that they were masters of pulling cows, and they all wanted to help.

"Don't worry, everyone, you can do it alone, but you still need one person to stand up..."

Li Yu quickly waved his hands to appease a group of people, then pointed to one of them, the little old man with a particularly honest face said;

"My father-in-law, it's up to you to lead the ox, Li Yi, you are not light or heavy, and you are right. Stand on this wooden frame for a while and let the ox pull you to run. At that time, pay attention to your feet, don't worry about it. Just make it too crooked."

　Three religions and nine streams, cultural background, rich families of the poor, aristocrats, rich peasants, slaves, poor people, businessmen, and the collision of classes constitute the picture scroll of that era...

　　Auntie is the only word that a concubine can call his mother.From the imperial concubine to the common people, there was a historical record that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a noble concubine who did not follow her son who was a prince, but chose to stay in the palace and show off to others. She could go to the emperor who was a nephew every day Please be safe and complacent.

　　There is no way, it was like that in that era, if you are not a regular wife, even if you are one of the four noble concubines, you are still a concubine, and your son can only call her auntie.

　　I think it is necessary to respect history
