Chapter 79

Hearing Wu Laoshuan mentioned the Sir, the figure who was about to follow in the shadows paused for a moment, and finally stopped.

If it's just an ordinary peasant, they won't be merciful for more than 20 pennies, but if the other party is a lord, or even just a lowly baron, they can't provoke them.After all, money is easy to get, but it also takes life to spend!

Along the way, Wu Laoshuan only felt terrified. This was the first time he carried such a huge amount of wealth on his body. It seemed that he saw Zhangjiazhuang in the distance in just a short while on the [-]-mile journey.

Only at this time did his tense heart relax slightly, but when he thought of the silver pistol in his arms and the copper coins in his back sash again, his whole body was full of strength again, as if rejuvenated by a second spring. He walked back to Zhuangzi in a breath.

The next day, the news that Wu Laoshuan sold an orange for two pennies quickly spread throughout Zhangjiazhuang. It is worth mentioning that Master Zhang's unpredictable methods also made everyone blindly superstitious.

However, Zhang Yi at this time has no time to care about these heated discussions in the countryside. In order to enjoy the treatment of eating and waiting to die as soon as possible, he feels that the most important thing now is to improve the efficiency of farming in the field.For example, at this time Zhang Yi was squatting on the ridge of the field watching several farmers plowing the fields.

"Master, your plowshare is really amazing. I reckon the plowing efficiency should be doubled!" Old Zhong smiled and flattered his young master.

Just now, after using the plowshare designed by Zhang Yi sent by Blacksmith Liu himself for a trial run, he no longer worried about farming.If it is said that a cow with a pierced nose can better direct the work of the cow, then Zhang Yi changed from the old-fashioned wooden plow to what is now called a straight plow, which is a leap in the farming era.

"Well! It's okay!" Zhang Yi was quite satisfied, and said to the several farmers who were full of interest: "That's it! Since it has the effect, it will be fine. The cows should be sent to the cowshed first. They just got their noses pierced and now It’s not enough to use it, but this plow is going to be made by Blacksmith Liu overtime!”

"My lord, don't worry!" Immediately, an elderly farmer patted his chest and said, "Liu Laoer is from our own village. Now, my lord, you are promoting him, and you are paying him and teaching him. The way to survive, if he can't even finish this little work, I'm afraid he won't be ashamed to see you!
But, my lord!We have to keep this matter of straight plowing a secret. If such a good thing is stolen by people from other villages, it will be a big loss! "

The farmer's words immediately won the approval of everyone present. They stubbornly believed that Zhili belonged exclusively to Zhangjiazhuang from the moment it was born, and there was no human favor for this point.

So someone suggested: "In my opinion, we should keep such a good thing a secret, and store it in the cowshed for use other than plowing, especially those women who like to make noise in the village. Be warned, you must keep your mouth shut about the plowshares, even your natal family can’t say anything about it!” As he spoke, he seemed uneasy, and added: “Why don’t we ask the third uncle to call the old and young people in the village later? What did the father say?"

Although Zhang Yi is a lord, he only has the right to make suggestions on the management of the village households, but not to make decisions.

After all, although the Tang Dynasty said that the laws were relatively sound, it was in fact a society governed by clans and local gentry. Especially in the countryside, folk customs and clan rules were often more useful than laws.Zhang Yi is very interested in these folk customs. He has heard the term 'soaked pig cage' more than once in later generations, so he decided to join in the fun.

Following the sound of summons hovering over Zhuangzi, the heads of every household hurriedly gathered in the open space in front of the back mountain.This open space is not big, but it is very flat. Looking at the densely packed stones in the ground, Zhang Yi is very sure that it is not the first time that they have gathered here.

With the arrival of the crowd, the rarely bustling open space soon became noisy.

Zhuanghui is a very serious matter, and it is very important to everyone in Zhuangzi, because the decision here is directly related to the interests of everyone unless there are special circumstances, so apart from the head of the family, even women and The half-grown child also hurried over.

As Renrui of Zhangjiazhuang, he is currently the most prestigious person besides Zhang Yi. After everyone arrived, the third uncle walked over slowly with the support of two young and strong.

The third uncle agrees that Mo is over 70 years old. In fact, Zhang Yi knows that the real age of this gray-haired and wrinkled old man is only in his early [-]s.However, even though he is only in his sixties, for the vast majority of people in Datang, he does have his pride.

It is said that people reaching seventy have been rare since ancient times, especially in ancient times, it is definitely not easy to live to this age.Natural disasters, man-made disasters, illnesses, and food shortages have kept the average age of the entire society at 42.That is to say, if a person can live to die at the age of 42, he is not short-lived. On the contrary, if he lives beyond the age of 42, the person can already be considered long-lived.

As soon as the third uncle arrived, everyone immediately got up from the stone to say hello, and after the third uncle nodded slightly, the scene immediately quieted down.

As the owner of Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Yi was very fortunate to be assigned to the position next to the third uncle, but the treatment was not as high as that of the third uncle. He had a special person to serve him, and there was only an old bell next to him, although he could be regarded as a human being. Rui, but obviously his prestige is not enough, so he can only make a familiar face on the sidelines.

"Who are we going to do today?" Third Uncle stood still and immediately got to the point.

However, the old man didn't seem to know the purpose of inviting him here today, and thought that something was going on in the village again, or that the little daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loneliness.

"Third uncle, it's another matter if we don't manage people today!" A farmer who is not young immediately came up and said to the third uncle: "My lord has made a good thing, my nephew thinks This thing is a treasure, so please come and have a look, and make a rule by the way!"

Zhang Yi knew this man, he was the old man who was willing to pay [-]% of the rent when he first came to Zhangjiazhuang. He winked at the men beside him, and immediately they carried the straight plow. Hang Chi, Hang Chi' came over.
