Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 73 Animals Serve Humans
In the Tang Dynasty, cows are more valuable than people. This is a truth that everyone, even His Majesty, knows well. Because farming is not easy, the value of its labor is infinitely magnified, and now it has the same treatment as ancestors.

The cow didn't want to move on, and the farmer who slapped the cow's butt couldn't do anything about it, so the bear child came in handy at this time, and immediately a half-grown boy with a snotty nose brought a handful of green grass with yellow leaves removed Handed it to the cow's mouth.

The old cow was very satisfied. He stretched out his tongue and rolled the grass into his mouth. He chewed it slowly for a while before continuing to move forward under the guidance of the farmer.

After walking around and fiddling for half an hour, Zhang Yi looked at it and wished he could kill the beast with one knife. He didn't finish turning over a straight line, but he started a small stove twice!
After all, she was spoiled!At this rate, not to mention three or four acres, it would be thankful to be able to plow two acres of land in one day.

Zhang Yi had a gloomy face, but some people didn't think so. Qin Huai, magistrate of Jingyang County, felt that the scene was very busy. There were farmers busy with spring plowing everywhere, and no one was idle.He could even foresee that in half a month, a layer of light green would grow on the sand until it turned into a golden wheat field.

"Farmers are diligent in spring plowing, why is Jingyang County so sad?" Qin Huai walked up to Zhang Yi and asked with a smile.

As the magistrate of a county, Qin Huai has the duty of persuading the farmers, especially landlords and riches like Zhang Yi, who are his main focus.

"It's too slow!" Zhang Yi bowed to Qin Huai, and said, "The work of counting people and one ox in one day is only two or three acres of land. This kind of labor speed is worrying!"

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Qin Huai couldn't help sighing, and said: "Yes! 'One porridge and one meal are hard-won thoughts, and half a thread of constant memory is hard to survive!', but the hard work is The root of their survival is that this official also needs to visit the village to persuade Nongsang!

However, it is rare to farm three acres of land with one ox in a day, isn't Jingyang County satisfied? "

"Of course I'm not satisfied! Qin county magistrate, look at that cow on the opposite side!" As he spoke, Zhang Yi pointed to a rather strong big yellow cow, and said: "This cow is the most hardworking cow among the dozens of cows today. At one end, up to now, it has only plowed three points of the land.

Walking and stopping along the way, there were children sending green leaves in front, and farmers persuaded them to come in. Here and there are cultivated land, it's like serving the uncle! "

What Zhang Yi said is the truth, but this situation has lasted for hundreds of years, and what everyone takes as a matter of course is not going to work for him.

"Hahahaha!" Qin Huai laughed, and said: "Working hard, some preferential treatment should be given. Is it possible for the county to keep them busy with farming all the time? Besides, cows are animals after all, and they can't understand human language. Do it like an arm, don't worry about it, don't worry about it!"

Hearing Qin Huai's remarks, Zhang Yi not only widened his eyes, as if seeing him for the first time, looked at him and asked, "The county magistrate really thinks so?"

The atmosphere became heavy all of a sudden, not because of Zhang Yi's opinion of the county magistrate's character, but because he was really speechless.It's hard to think about it, if all the officials in the world are like him step by step and stick to the old rules, of course there will be no mistakes in doing so, but what about development?If you count on such a group of people to manage the people, it would be nice to have enough food!

"Could it be that the magistrate has a different opinion?" Qin Huai was not angry at Zhang Yi's question, but looked at Zhang Yi with a smile.

This is the second time he has seen this newly promoted Jingyang county magistrate. He doesn't know Zhang Yi very well, but he doesn't despise the person who can suddenly become a county magistrate from a mediocre person by himself. .It is not that there have been people who were exiled to the south of the Five Ridges in history, but these people often did not have a good end. It is a luxury to die of old age in peace, let alone become a nobleman.

In his opinion, even though Zhang Yi got Feng Guogong's help in this matter, he definitely has some skills himself.

"Magistrate Qin, in my opinion, animals are born to serve people! Horses, dogs, pigs, and sheep can be used for people's transportation, guard the door for family members, and even eat meat!" Zhang Yi looked at Qin Huai and said : "Naturally, a cow is also a beast. I don't think there is anything noble about it. On the contrary, it is strong and docile. Letting it plow the land is another embodiment of our human wisdom.

Because our human strength is not as strong as it, our ancestors realized this from the time of slash-and-burn farming, so we have domesticated it for thousands of years, from wild and untamed to the gentle and tame you and I see now, which can replace it. People come to plow.It really doesn't understand people's words, but I don't think that the slow cultivation is just for this reason. We can't make them obey our will, which only shows that we haven't found the right way.

Once we find the right method, I believe that the efficiency will definitely increase by at least ten times! "

"So Jingyang County has already made plans?" Qin Huai asked curiously with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Of course there is a way!" Zhang Yi turned sideways and ordered to Lao Zhong: "Old Zhong, help me call three stronger young men to come over and tie a rope, and there is another one that can be broken, The closed copper ring also needs an iron braze and charcoal fire!"

The Sir had spoken, so naturally there was no need to say more, and soon three strong men rushed over with the things Zhang Yi needed.

"My lord! My lord!" As soon as the three arrived, they saluted them immediately.

"Get up! Your lord has something to ask you, you just need to act according to his words!" Qin Kui smiled and motioned the three men to get up, and said to Zhang Yi: "What will the county do next?"

"Go and get that healthy ox over here, and build two stakes for the remaining two people!" Zhang Yi ordered.

The construction of the wooden piles is very simple, it is nothing more than a few logs, there are many on the Zhuangzi, and three or five farmers from all over the place joined the ranks of the construction, and at the same time the strong yellow ox was also invited over.

The old cow ignored the crowd, and ate the grass brought by the children on his own, very leisurely, and turned his head to look at the crowd gathered in front of him from time to time.

"Put the ox here!" Zhang Yi pointed to the built wooden pile and said, "The main thing is to make it unable to borrow strength!"

Everyone looked puzzled, although they all knew that the old cow would be treated unfairly, but after thinking about it, they chose to give in, and a few men put Jian Niu up together!
