Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 320; Spring Farming ~ Offerings
Chapter 320;
Li Yu continued to mutter;

"Your family manager Zou is from the refugee camp. It is not easy to achieve this position. In many cases, you can also get some benefits for you peasants, so it is important to assist your family manager Zou to handle errands. The most important.

Although this farming work is not exhausting, it is also a long-term business. Don't do it for three days, it will be better if it stinks for half a year. "

"Look at what Lang Jun said, the slave family and others are not seven or eight-year-old children, and they will not rely on their will to do things. The only serious way is to do errands in a down-to-earth manner.

Although our farming errands are newly opened, all the errand runners, including our four second stewards and my family's chief steward Zou, work hard and dare not be lazy.

Everyone worked hard and wanted to make a name for themselves, so that all the dealers can see it. We don't just open our mouths and know how to eat the monthly money.

Besides, when our new chief steward took office, just when we were about to make a name for ourselves, the four of us second stewards had all discussed in private, and we would wholeheartedly assist the chief steward in handling errands, and make a name for ourselves as soon as possible. I am worthy of your kindness, Mr. Lang. "

Li Yu listened to this simple country woman chattering sentence by sentence, none of which was a joke, it was very real, Li Yu nodded happily;
"That's right, it's best to have this idea, that is, you must be aggressive, energetic, and have the spirit of not admitting defeat. You don't have any energy to go all out. How is that different from a dead person?

With this kind of spirit in it, sooner or later, no matter what you do, you will be able to do everything well, doing nothing, and doing everything like a turtle, which is disgusting to death. "

Zhou Wang nodded in agreement and said;
"That's right, all the ladies and gentlemen of the slave family understand that what Mr. Lang said is good-sounding. The books in that room are really worth reading. Just a sentence can get stuck in the essence, which makes people feel impeccable after listening to it. It is very reasonable. .”

A group of people left Zhuangzi after talking, and passed the cement factory building. Before Li Yu reached the river, he saw people's heads surging a few hundred meters ahead, and the fields beside the river were full of black and white people.But did the cattle see one?

Those sharp-eyed people in the crowd immediately shouted;

"Look at the little gentleman is here, the gentleman is here."

"Isn't that right, Mr. Lang is coming to preside over the sacrifice..."

"Everyone, look, look, the lord is here, the lord is here, he must be here to preside over the sacrifice..."

Li Yu looked at the seething simple and honest villagers, and didn't care about talking anymore, and strode to the field by the river. Zou Shuyi heard the report from her subordinates, and had already walked out of the crowd to greet her. make a ceremony;
"I have met you, I wish you all the blessings."

Li Yu took a step forward, helped Zou Shuyi up, and said in a loud voice;
"Quickly excuse me, Manager Zou has worked hard, and I've been busy recently, and I don't ask much about the chores of the brewery or the major farming affairs.

Unexpectedly, you all allocated so many fields so quickly, okay, okay, you are diligent and down-to-earth, and the errands are also beautiful. After all, I did not choose the wrong person, haha, haha. "

Zou Shuyi was praised in front of the common people for her quick work and warm heart. She helped Li Yu walk over with a high kick;
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Nu and others did not dare to be negligent, for fear of delaying Mr. Lang's important farming affairs, they arranged for more than ten days non-stop.
Finally, the fields were allocated to every strong man, and they were about to start plowing today, so they dared to trouble Mr. Lang to come over and preside over the overall situation.

This way please, sir, the incense table is ready, please slow down, sir, the field is full of bumps..."

Before coming to the incense table, Li Yu took the three sticks of fresh incense handed over by his servants, and led everyone to worship the heaven, earth, and the god of grains, and then inserted the fresh incense into the incense burner on the table.

Only then did Li Yu have time to check the incense case. On the table of the Eight Immortals, the four corners were bound with red cloth. On the table was a big chicken, a sheep head, and a big pig head, with chopsticks inserted. There were various grains beside it. Five bowls were placed.

The three animals in the front are sacrificed to the fields, and the five bowls of cooked grains in the back are sacrificed to the god of grains, praying to the gods of the heavens to bless the farmers with good weather, and praying to the gods of grains to bless the people with abundant grains and a full harvest this season.

Li Yu didn't deny or look down on the meaning of the ancients. The ancients were underdeveloped in science and technology, and they entrusted the gods to have a good harvest. Farmers wanted a good harvest to support their families. There was nothing wrong with that.

Li Yu just felt that it was not safe to hand over the decision-making power to the gods in the sky. It would be better to study more scientific technologies and help agriculture.

For example, he can bring irrigation technology to make farming more profitable and ensure a good harvest. The next step is to select high-quality seeds and continue to cultivate them. If things go on like this, the future crops will become more and more refined, and the yield will naturally increase. .

He didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, because he knew that all the later generations played the leftover routines of the ancestors.

The river map of the ancients, Luo Shu, made the laws of the entire universe clear, that is great power.

In the absence of any technological support, the wisdom of the ancients has used the most advanced technology of later generations to observe and measure the nine stars in the universe, and the time table for their operation is exactly the same...

Divide into two instruments, determine the four directions, make gossip, divide the year into days, and then use the leap month to make up for its shortcomings, and then divide it into 24 solar terms, check the changes in the sky, and set the four seasons for farming.

It is these traditional ancient cultures that made the other three ancient civilizations disappear after the long river of history.

The great country in the east is still standing tall, so Li Yu dare not underestimate the greatness of the ancients, but respects them very much.

The wisdom of the ancients, how to distinguish the changes of the stars in the sky, and how the laws of the universe were summed up by the ancient power, Li Yu couldn't figure out why, Li Yu, who was thinking hard Yu, interrupted by Zou Shuyi's crisp voice;
"The incense has been burned out, start plowing, pull the oxen over, put on the harness... and plow..."

Following Zou Shuyi's yelling sound, rows of cattle on the west side of the river were driven to the other side of the field.

Two oxen one piece, two oxen together, hundreds of strong men, began to harness all the cattle, and then put the iron plow on the ground.

The men are actively making preparations, waiting for the second order from Manager Zou, and they can immediately start plowing the land...

Zou Shuyi's face is full of red today. The major farming event she presided over has finally come to an end, and today the work officially started.

She had been busy before, running around to buy chickens. Although Zou Shuyi didn't have any resistance, she always felt that it didn't fit the title of a farming manager.

She always thought about it, she was in charge of farming, and she was not serious in her duties... Finally, this little man, looking at the chickens of the five Zhuangzi running around, probably was fresh enough, so he stopped buying chickens everywhere. Aberdeen's bad,
Only in this way can she free up her hands and feet and formally take up the post. Of course, Zou Shuyi dare not be careless and concentrate on doing things wholeheartedly. She wants to make a name for herself and show it to the big guys.

The more than 170 newly recruited errands and errands were all sent down, led by four stewards, and they got up early and worked late every day.

More than 100 people led a few strong men in Zhuangzi, and they repeated measuring land, dividing land, dividing land, measuring land every day. Many people's feet were swollen due to busy work.

No one said a word, only two or three young people complained a few words, saying that it was too hard to work for five or six hours a day,
Zou Shuyi didn't say anything, and she didn't curse or beat anyone. She paid out of her own pocket to prescribe double monthly cases for the three younger students, and then she was about to be directly removed from the list.

The three young men were also terrified, and hurried home to find their elders to solve their troubles, and were beaten up again by their respective Aye.

This is for the mansion, how many people squeezed their heads to fight for it, among these more than 100 errand runners, which ones don't ask for favors everywhere, and bend around to salute?
After all the good words, I just managed to get a spot. This unforgiving son of a bitch will still yell even if he runs for a while.

The elders of the three families took their children to Zou Shuyi's house overnight to apologize after a lesson.

After giving back the double monthly fee, which was a lot of money, she nodded and bowed with a smile on her face, said all the good things, and there was also an interceding elder who came with her. people stay.

However, it was also publicly stated that if they complained of suffering and tiredness after not working for a few days, the three families would come directly to take the person back, and there was no room for negotiation.

So far on the river, no one said they were tired, they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Zou Shuyi cherishes the hard-won life very much, and she does her best to do it. She wished she could live and eat on the ridges of the fields and make some achievements quickly.

Seeing everyone harnessing the oxen and lowering the plow, Zou Shuyi came over and said softly;
"I want to report to my lord, the ox is put into the harness, and the iron plow falls to the ground. Today, you are on the spot, sir, and I want you to help the plow."

"Ah? Oh..."

Li Yu couldn't help being surprised, he had never planted land before, but at this moment, the land was full of people's heads, although Li Yu didn't understand the rules of farming in this era,

But he also sensed that the enthusiasm of the people was like fire, and it seemed that he was the first to plow the field, which seemed very powerful and awesome.

Seeing the earnest gazes of the common people around, Li Yu could only bite the bullet and walk forward, taking the wooden handle from Zou Shuyi's hand.

Li Yu held onto the wooden handle tightly with both hands, he was afraid that if the two strong bulls in front became crazy, they would definitely bring him down to the ground, it would be ugly to make a dog eat shit.

Zou Shuyi and his brothers walked to the front, and one of them led a strong cow. With a hehe sound, the whip in Zou Shuyi's hand was thrown into the air, and there was a crisp cracking sound. The two cows exerted their strength together and moved forward. .

Li Yu held on to the wooden handle above the plowshare with both hands, and it took all his strength to hold it steady, moving forward step by step...

At the head of the field, thousands of farmers and common people shouted in unison;

"Plow the plow..."

Rong Niang and a few maids followed Li Yu nervously, looking at the 15-year-old young man, exhausting all his breastfeeding strength, blushing and thick neck, but pressing down on the handle of the plow ,

He advanced step by step with difficulty, sweating profusely, but still gritted his teeth and resisted without saying a word.

Yingxiang's hand was already healed, and she had just returned to the mansion for two days on duty when this happened. Like Rong Niang, she had been serving the little man since she was a child, and she had never seen her before. A coolie with delicate skin...

Yingxiang wanted to wipe off her husband's sweat, but she was afraid of knocking him down, what if she hurt the plowshare?
Yingxiang was in a hurry, but she had no choice but to keep winking at Rongniang.

Rong Niang was so distressed that she couldn't bear it long ago, but it was too important to say a word about the important matter of spring plowing. With so many people watching, food is the most important thing for the people, even supporting a plow is not enough, it is too unreasonable.

Therefore, Rong Niang has been holding back her tight heart, and followed beside her, and she has seen Ying Xiang's eyes for a long time, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know, and she is powerless. You can't ask your lord to rest in front of the common people, Zhuanghu, right?
Rong Niang originally thought about plowing for dozens of steps, and just started. Who knew that the siblings at the front would not finish, they just kept leading the ox and moving forward without saying a word.

If it was in previous years, the old county man would hold the plow and handle, and he would naturally be able to plow from one end to the other, but this gentleman is only a teenager, can he persist in the past, and the one row of land reaches the east end, I am afraid that there will be six hundred steps. up...

Rong Niang endured another hundred paces away, seeing that the little man could not walk steadily, and could fall into the ground at any time.

Rong Niang, who couldn't hold back anymore, with a cold face, walked three or four steps forward, still excited, Zou Shuyi, who was walking with her head buried, said;

"Master Zou is in charge, the plow has been lowered, and the plow has been opened, and the plow has one or two hundred steps, which is almost enough.

My husband has just had his hair tied, so he can't compare to a man, let alone a strong man, so please ask Mr. Zou to investigate clearly. "

Zou Shuyi at the front is excited, she has to be excited, in previous years the plow was plowed, but the old county man did it himself, and the cow was led by Commander Liu, who was in charge of the granary.

Anyone else want to come up?Don't even think about it, this honor is not something everyone can touch. For the big event of spring farming this year, Commander Liu, on the grounds that farming already has a chief manager, stopped participating and took the initiative to give up his position.

Zou Shuyi also knew the way and the reason. Commander Liu was taking care of himself and giving his siblings a chance to show their faces.

Of course, there is also the favor mentioned by Lin Wulang behind it. Zou Shuyi is very grateful in her heart. A few days ago, she took the money and exchanged it for two whole sheep, and asked her younger brother to send them to their house. Thank you.

Today, the siblings were pulling the ox. Both of them were so excited that they held the ox wholeheartedly, for fear that the ox would not go straight.
He wanted to plow from one end of the field to the other, so that the plow would come out horizontally and vertically, so that the people present could see that the two brothers and sisters who were serving the crops were not vegetarians.

The two devoted themselves to taking care of the cows in their respective hands, but they forgot that the one holding the plow behind and holding the handle was a 15-year-old boy who had just tied his hair.

It's no wonder that the people in Zhuangzi always involuntarily ignore that the young man's age is all because he is too smart...

He is ten times and a hundred times more powerful than the 60-year-old wise man, so no one cares about the exact age of this young man.

At this moment, when the steward in the backyard of the mansion reminded them, the two of them immediately remembered, isn't it, there is still a child following behind...
