Datang Nongwang

Chapter 391

Cows wear nose rings.

That was a common thing in rural areas in the later dynasties.

As Li Chongyuan said, the effect is not small.

Furthermore.

These cattle were brought over from the north, and their wild nature was quite heavy compared to the domestic cattle raised in the south.

If you really don't control it a little, it is not easy for ordinary people to control it.

And that day.

With the help of the old Xu's family, the forty cattle finally completed the important task of piercing the noses of the cattle.

"Fourth brother, that cow seems to be bleeding all the time, is it going to die?" Wan'er, who had been standing on the sidelines watching the excitement, saw a cow's nose bleeding continuously in the cowshed.

Li Chongyuan looked in the direction Wan'er pointed after hearing the sound.

As for the one Wan'er pointed to, Niubi's nose was indeed bleeding, but not much.

but.

Just in case, Li Chongyuan ordered the Taoist priest, "Le Dao, did you see that cow? There was a lot of blood, go and apply some of the medicine powder you made, if it still can't stop, you can think of a way." .”

After Le Dao heard the sound, he hurried into the cowshed with the medicine powder he had prepared.

After a moment.

The cow's nose stopped bleeding immediately.

"Xiao Langjun, this little injury is fine. You see, if you apply the powder again, it will be fine." Le Dao, as if he had won a battle, got out of the cowshed and came to claim credit.

Li Chongyuan patted Le Dao on the shoulder, "That's right, it seems that your medicinal powder can be used by both humans and animals. Oh, by the way, did you research your medicinal powder yourself, or do many people know about it?"

"Xiao Langjun, I am not afraid of your jokes. I said that I made this medicine powder by myself when I was marching and fighting, and the effect is not bad. Look at Evil Fang. His intestines were exposed before. Since he used my powder The medicine powder is alive and well, and there is nothing wrong with it." When Le Dao heard Li Chongyuan talk about his medicine powder, he couldn't stop talking.

There is a saying.

His greatest skill is to heal people.

But now, he has become the veterinarian of Li Zhuang, and he has been affirmed by Li Chongyuan, a young gentleman, which makes him even more confident.

Li Chongyuan first heard Le Dao's words, and looked at Evil Ya Liao Xian not far away.

He really didn't know that there was such an affair between Daochang and Eya.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan waved to Eya, "Liao Xian, is what Le Dao said just now true?"

"Hey, Mr. Xiaolang, don't listen to the priest's nonsense. At that time, I didn't show my intestines, but my stomach was cut. It's not as serious as he said. At that time, the priest said that he saw my intestines. He also spread rumors about how powerful his medicine powder is, and that's all his bragging." Eya completely denied what happened back then.

But when Eya's words fell behind, the Taoist leader immediately became upset, pointed at Eya and said angrily: "You fart, I'm not bragging, you owe me such a big favor, don't you want to pay it back? That's good." , if you get any injuries in the future, I don't care, you can die wherever you like."

"Don't, don't, I owe it, I owe it." Seeing that Le Dao was unhappy, Eya quickly smoothed things over and begged for mercy.

Li Chongyuan looked at the behavior of the two life and death brothers, and knew from it that Le Dao must not have lied, maybe the situation at that time was more serious than what Le Dao said.

In such a cold age.

Once the big battle starts.

If tens of thousands or 10 people don't die, it won't stop at all.

And in times like this.

Injured by a cold weapon.

Not to mention disabled, even tetanus can kill people.

That's why Li Chongyuan asked the Xu family to polish those nose rings smooth.

even.

He also told the Xu family to ask Le Dao for some medicine to soak these nose rings.

right now.

All metal utensils will rust.

If you are on the battlefield and are injured by the opponent's sword, you will inevitably have the possibility of tetanus.

Moreover, this possibility is also very high.

This is also one of the reasons why, in the era of cold weapons, the death rate remained high.

People are like this.

The same goes for animals.

A few days since Da Niu wore a nose ring.

In the past few days, Li Chongyuan would go to the bullpen to check the situation from time to time.

Fortunately, after a few days, these cows who had just worn nose rings were still as usual, and they didn't go crazy, and they didn't get sick after wearing nose rings.

someday.

Li Chongyuan was assembling an object in the courtyard.

Li Yuan was still as usual, like an old monk in meditation, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, holding a cup of tea in his hand, quietly watching Li Chongyuan busy with his familiar and unfamiliar objects.

"Yuan'er, what are you doing? Uncle, why does it look like an iron plow?" After a long time, when Li Chongyuan was almost assembled, Li Yuan asked curiously.

Li Chongyuan turned his head and smiled, "Uncle Hui, this is an iron plow, and it is an iron plow specially designed for cattle."

"Oh? An iron plow specially designed for cattle? What do you say?" Of course Li Yuan knew about plows.

only.

From the beginning to the end, he, Li Yuan, had never seen the kind of iron plow assembled by Li Chongyuan.

The current iron plow.

Basically, they are straight Yuanli, not Quyuanli like Li Chongyuan.

Again.

Quyuanli is much more difficult to make than Zhiyuanli.

As far as that shaft is concerned, the difficulty of making it is much higher.

The shaft of the straight shaft plow is a straight wood.

On the other hand, the shaft of the iron plow assembled by Li Chongyuan at this time has a very large arc, which makes Li Yuan curious and puzzled.

Li Chongyuan straightened the iron plow and looked at Li Yuan, "Uncle, our current iron plow is a straight plow. The depth of plowing the fields is limited and it is very laborious. The iron plow I designed and made is called Quyuan plow. In addition to being able to plow deeply, cattle and people can also reduce their strength. Even, in some corners, it is easier to turn around."

Li Chongyuan is shameless.

It is obviously too shameless to present Qu Yuanli, which has evolved over thousands of years, as a gadget designed by him.

but.

At this time, Li Chongyuan didn't have that awareness.

At the moment, what face do you need?

Everything that has not yet appeared, or has not been discovered, belongs to Li Chongyuan.

Furthermore.

In this era, there is no need to pay attention to patents.

What's more, he, Li Chongyuan, created this Quyuanli entirely for himself.

But when Li Yuan heard Li Chongyuan's explanation, he stood up from his chair in shock as if he had seen something extraordinary.

The waiter Jin who was waiting on the side was so frightened that he was afraid that Li Yuan would fall, so he hurriedly reached out to help him.

Standing up, Li Yuan waved his hand to the attendant Jin, walked quickly to Li Chongyuan's side, and looked curiously at the iron plow that was holding him steady.

"Your name is Qu Yuanli, you are really as good as you said, you are not lying to uncle, are you?" Li Yuan looked at it with a little doubt on his face.

Li Chongyuan smiled lightly, "Uncle, what you said hit me too hard, and my nephew spent a lot of thought on designing it. If uncle doesn't believe it, we will go to the field to pull a cow out in two days and try it out." gone."

"Go now." Li Yuan said anxiously.

Li Yuan was in a hurry, but Li Chongyuan was not in a hurry, "Uncle, you are too impatient, my iron plow is not finished yet, and the nose of the farming ox is not fully healed yet."

"The cow is not ready yet, so let's hire people!" Li Yuan said anxiously.

Indeed.

Li Yuan is impatient.

From ancient times to the present.

The unified farming method of this land and fields is shallow farming.

And it's time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Even so, when the crops were harvested, their yields were very low.

Coupled with imperfect water conservancy, either this disaster or that disaster caused the people to be often impoverished and displaced.

Such an iron plow will really appear.

Once the deep plowing is done, the field will be able to harvest more grain.

Li Yuan, who was aware of this point, saw such a fetish appearing, how could he not be in a hurry?
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Chongyuan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, "Then according to uncle's instructions, Lao Jin, you come and help you resist this thing and go to the field."

Soon.

Several people came to the edge of Huaishan.

At this time, Huaishan is planting seeds.

Helpers are everywhere.

Someone put half a piece of bamboo, someone buried the soil, and someone fertilized.

Li Chongyuan looked at the busy work of all the helpers, thinking in his heart that the output of Huaishan would probably decline this year, and he felt uncomfortable.

This year is the second year of planting Huaishan.

After this year, this Huaishan area will have to rest for two years.

Plant for two years and rest for two years.

This is also the way of growing Huaishan.

after all.

Huaishan eats too much fat, and Li Chongyuan is well aware of Huaishan's characteristic of eating fat.

Even with the blessing of horse manure, Huaishan planting would have to stop for two years, or change a piece of land.

But he, Li Chongyuan, didn't have much land in his hands. He had to buy the wasteland opposite the Laoshui, or he had to stop planting.

Just as Li Chongyuan was looking at Huaishan, Li Yuan seemed anxious and roared, "What are you still standing here looking at, why don't you hurry up and try this iron plow."

"Yes, yes, what my uncle taught me is that I'll start now." Li Chongyuan was yelled at by Li Yuan, and he quickly instructed Jin's servant and the Xingba people who rushed over to get busy.

Without cattle, only people can be used.

Xingba became the ox, and Jin's waiter became the man who helped the plow.

Under the assignment of the two, under Li Chongyuan's order.

Qu Yuanli's shovel immediately sank half a foot into the soil.

After Li Chongyuan saw this, he immediately corrected the servant Jin who was supporting the plow, "Lao Jin, lift up a little bit, and you can speed up your pace."

The two who received Li Chongyuan's instructions adjusted immediately.

Immediately.

The iron plow was lightly lifted by Jin's servant, and the plow shovel slid down into the soil to a depth of one foot.

There was a sound of "chachahuohuo".

in a moment.

A piece of land that has been plowed a foot deep, Li Yuan clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, okay, okay, it's a good thing, let's try it down."

Li Yuan applauded, and said to try.

Then the attendant Jin gently lifted it up again, and the entire plow body tilted, and the deeper soil rolled from the plow wall to the side.

Jin's servant is not a farmer.

But fortunately, Qi Nai is a generation with high martial arts skills, so he can get started very quickly.

a while.

From entering the soil, to turning the corner and so on.

A small piece of land was plowed out under the cooperation of the two.

Li Yuan followed the iron plow all the way, saw that the plow was very deep, and immediately asked the two of them, "How are you two doing? How much effort is needed?"

"It doesn't take much effort to go back to the Lord's house, at least it's easy for me." Xingba replied.

"My lord, although I need to control the iron plow, I have the least strength. It is estimated that another woman can hold the iron plow." Jin's servant quickly responded.

As soon as Li Yuan heard Jin's servant's words, he immediately looked at the woman who was busy in the distance.

As soon as he raised his head, Li Chongyuan knew what he was going to do. Immediately, Li Chongyuan told Qiao Su who was watching the excitement, "Old Qiao, go and call the two women over."

Josu got instructions.

After a while, two women were brought over.

It didn't take long again.

Under the management of the two women, another small piece of land was plowed.

When Li Yuan saw this, he was almost jumping excitedly, "Okay, okay, it's really great! With this thing, there is no need for me to have food in Tang Dynasty, okay, okay!"

Countless greetings in a row made everyone look at Li Chongyuan.

Even the two women looked at Li Chongyuan curiously.

In his eyes, there seemed to be a little more reverence for gods.

Back to the courtyard.

Li Yuan stared closely at the grandnephew in front of him, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be concerned, but also seemed to be puzzled, more like the eyes of an elder looking at a younger generation.

Li Chongyuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Yuan, and coughed a few times, "Uncle, don't look at me like that, I feel a little guilty because my uncle looked at me like that."

"Hahahaha, why are you guilty, what are you guilty of, you can make Qu Yuanli, so what is there to be guilty of. This is the magic weapon that saved my Tang Kingdom, you should be proud, not guilty." Li Yuan couldn't stop laughing.

And after he couldn't stop laughing, he said: "Do you know that there is a lack of cattle everywhere in the north and south of my Tang Dynasty. If you have Quyuanli, it can alleviate the problem of cattle shortage. And, you The Quyuan plow you made can be used to plow the fields, and it is a good thing for growing grain and crops. Well, I didn't expect that Yuan'er, you are still such a smart person."

"Uncle, you praise me too much. I just want to relieve myself of some burden, but I can't be praised by uncle." Li Chongyuan's skin is thick enough at this time, and there is no sign of blushing at all.

Li Yuan waved his hand suddenly and said, "Bring a pen and ink, I want to write this matter, so that it can be announced to the world, so that the people of the world will know the benefits of Qu Yuanli, and benefit all the common people and farmers in the world."

After hearing the sound, Jin Neishi hurried back to the big house and brought a pen and ink.

As for Li Yuan, he said that he wanted to write it himself and announce it to the world.

Instead of presenting to the court.

That is naturally because he regards himself as the Supreme Emperor at this time, who can decide all the affairs of the Tang country, otherwise, he would not have said so.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan seemed to have nothing to do with him.

It doesn't matter what is announced to the world, or whatever.

Anyway, it's just a Quyuanli, and this thing is also a benefit farmer. This can be regarded as what Li Chongyuan can do for the people of the world.

The appearance of Qu Yuanli, although it was in the Tang Dynasty.

But it only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, and the place where it appeared was in the Jiangdong area.

That is, the left side of the Yangtze River, and also refers to the southern area south of the eastern part of the Yangtze River.
