Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 327;

Chapter 320;
Li Yu hurried to the front yard, just in time to see Li Yi coming out of the wing room, and immediately greeted him;

"Li Yi, have you ever used lunch?"

Li Yi trotted over to answer;

"I want to report to my lord, I just used it. The villain knows that my lord is going to try the plow in the field on the river in the afternoon, so I didn't dare to delay. I quickly ate my meal and was about to talk to my lord."

"Oh. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Mr. Lang, the villain is afraid that Zou Da will be in charge of them, and he will come back to the village for lunch. Isn't this a delay? When Mr. Lang goes to the river, there will be no one waiting?
So the villain called the kitchen in the front yard, made some rice, arranged six dishes, and sent them to the river, so that Zou Da could be in charge, and the leaders wouldn't have to come back to the village to eat.

In this way, we can wait on the river, we don’t have to worry, Mr. Zou is in charge of them, this meeting must be eating in the fields, Mr. Lang can rest assured now, there will be no one to serve. "

The more Li Yu looked at it, the more he felt that Li Yi was pleasing to the eye, and he happily said while lining Li Yi's shoulder;

"Very good, not bad, you are very sensible, work hard, I am optimistic about you, I heard that the fifth generation of your family is the second steward, I see that you have a breakthrough here, as long as you work hard, you may be able to break the situation of the second steward of the fifth generation , maybe."

Li Yi was ecstatic when he heard this, and expressed his loyalty excitedly;

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the villain will continue to be on duty carefully, and handle errands carefully. It doesn't matter if he is promoted or not. As long as he can feel at ease, he will serve by Mr. Lang's side."

Li Yu looked at Li Yi who spoke insincerely;

"Look, look, you're talking nonsense, as soon as I heard it, I knew you were talking nonsense, and when you got up, you smiled like a mouse.

I'm so happy, I still say I don't care, you can't fool me, and you don't have to learn those rhetoric, for me, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

As long as you are serious and careful, put what you are able to where it is needed, and take care of more things, there is nothing shameful.

Let's go, call some men and horses, take the plowshares, plow frame, and plow covers, let us master and servant go to the river to try it out, and we will know whether this new plow can be successful or not. "

"It's the gentleman, the villain will arrange the troops, and the gentleman will wait for a while."

"Go, I'll wait for you at the gate of the house."

Li Yu was alone with his hands behind his back, and before he reached the gate of the mansion, he met the number one blacksmith Zhang Laoshi, walking towards him, and Li Yu greeted him warmly;

"Did the father-in-law eat lunch?"

Sitting in the wing room, Zhang Laoshi was not in the mood. He, who had never told a lie in his life, was very worried about the weird new plowshare, and wanted to watch the new plow go to the ground with his own eyes...

Therefore, he didn't dare to sit in the wing room for a long time, so he found an excuse to come out, and waited in the front yard. Not long after he came out, he saw this young man coming to say hello, so he stepped forward to greet him;
"Thank you, Mr. Lang, for thinking about it. The old man has eaten it, and he is full. Because the new plow was built by Zhang's family, the old man also wants to follow Mr. Lang, go to the river to help, and please Mr. Lang Don't be disgusted."

Li Yu wanted to get more people, and asked everyone to see how amazing and powerful the things he designed were, so when he met Zhang Laoshi who was going to the river, he replied enthusiastically;
"Of course that's good. I just want to invite my father-in-law to watch the new plow go to the ground. It would be best to meet here. My father-in-law will stay for a while. Li Yi and the others are going to get their things, and they can start right away."

While the two were talking, Li Yi came out of the side yard with seven or eight servants, carrying plowshares, matching wooden frames, ox harnesses, and other things.

Li Yi walked up to him seriously, as if he was going to fight;
"Sir, I have brought everything together, so I can set off."

"Oh, then let's go, you relax a bit, what's the start, I'm going to the river, but the two or three miles away, I told you, it's the same as thousands of miles away..."

Li Yu muttered as he walked out, and the crowd followed, plus five blacksmiths, and a dozen or so troops, and marched mightily to the side of the field in the river.

There is no one in the field by the river, the strong and mature men have all gone back to the village to eat, and only Zou Shuyi, who is in charge of farming, and four second managers under him, Zou Tonglin, Zou Shujuan, and Lu Bin, are left behind. , Zhou Wang,
Beside the five people, two extremely strong bulls were leisurely gnawing on the ground, the freshly grown grass, and the tails of the cows twirled twice from time to time to drive away mosquitoes...

The five people heard that the young gentleman would bring a newly modified iron plow to cultivate the fields up and down the river after lunch, and they made an agreement that they would not return to Zhuangzi at noon, and waited for the gentleman to arrive at the field.

Otherwise, no one would know when Lang Jun would come, so he decided not to go back for dinner, but sat on the ground and waited.

A farmer would not be hungry if he ate a small meal. Who knew that the second steward of the mansion would send someone directly to deliver six dishes and a pot of rice,
They also gave each of them a meat pie and a catty of white wine, and the five of them sat in the fields, eating and drinking.

After eating in twos and threes, the whole morning was exhausted, because the two liangs of white wine disappeared without a trace. After drinking and eating, the five of them gossiped about the daily life without saying a word.

After only half an hour, I saw Lang Jun leading a group of people to the edge of the river, and Zou Shuyi was the first to stand up to meet him;

"My family has seen Mr. Lang, Mr. Lang is well."

Li Yu stepped forward, wanting to help Zou Shuyi and take advantage of it, but then thought that there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes watching behind her,

In a large crowd, it is not easy to strike directly, so the outstretched hands stayed in the air again, and came out in a supportive posture;
"You don't need to be too polite. Those of you who can read and write are just polite. It's still in the field. If it's inconvenient, you should be more casual. By the way, is the food that Manager Li sent you enough to eat?"

"If you go back to Lang Jun, you will be full. Thank you, Lang Jun, for thinking about it."

Li Yu relaxed and started joking;

"Today's meal was arranged by Li Yi himself. Don't blame me. Otherwise, if someone has good intentions, it will be empty and no one will thank you."

Zou Shuyi smiled and looked at Li Yi who was following up; "Then I would like to thank Manager Li for taking care of me."

Li Yi looked at Zou Shuyi, the manager of the farming department, and really gave a little blessing, and quickly bowed down;

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's all the errands of a villain, don't do that to Manager Zou."

Everyone was talking and laughing together, Zou Shuyi asked softly;

"The servants who heard the rumors said that Mr. Lang went back to ponder for half a day after starting the plowing in the morning. With the help of the first blacksmith family, he made a new plow, which can be plowed twice as fast as the old straight plow. The slave family can't wait any longer, the slave family is responsible for the farming, if there is such a sharp tool for plowing the land, it will save a lot of worry in the future."

Before Li Yu could speak, Zhang Laoshi who was next to him quickly took up the conversation;
"The new plowshare has been built, but it still needs to be harnessed to the field and plowed back and forth a few times. It is best to plow two or three acres of it, so as to have a comparison.

Before the comparison, no one knows the result, but with the ability of the gentleman, the speed of the transformed things will definitely increase. Sir, why don't we start now? "

Zhang honestly is a very honest person, if you say a word that is not practical, you will be so worried that you can't eat. The gentleman only said in the morning that he can be faster than the old plowshares before,
There was an uproar in the house, saying that it could be half as fast, and it didn't take long for it to spread to the fields, and the words of the farming manager said that it could be doubled.

Zhang Laoshi's head is already sweating, he thinks it's better to quickly put on the iron plow and open up an acre of land, so that everyone can see clearly, otherwise this rumor will continue, God knows how crazy it will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow ?
If the things made by his Zhang family blacksmith do not match the rumors too much, what about the name of the Zhang family?Therefore, Zhang Laoshi is more anxious than anyone else, and wants to urge Li Yu to start trying...

Li Yu looked at a group of excited men, women and children, and waved his hand;
"Okay, then just put on the sheath and plow it down. Let's see what this newly built plowshare can do?"

Li Yi began to arrange his men, and the oxen came over. Those who put on the jacket put on the jacket, and those who put on the plow put on the plow. The battlefield immediately became busy.

Zhang Laoshi immediately grabbed the wooden frame and held it in his hand, so the servants of the two mansions had no choice but to follow him, and fixed the new plowshare on the wooden frame, and put the pins on it to make it tight. of.

Zou Shuyi looked at Li Yi, who was pulling a strong bull, and ordered the servants to put on a trap, and hurriedly approached Li Yu, lowered her voice, and reminded in embarrassment;
"I want to report to you, sir, I made a mistake. I don't know if you haven't served the crops before. This frame is not right. You should use two bulls to raise the bar.
There is no need for an ox to plow the land, or we should stop quickly, and the slave family told the brothers to go back quickly and bring a set of plow frames carried by two oxen, and it will not be too late to go to the field.

Otherwise, a cow will definitely not be able to plow the land, wouldn't it be a big joke, if it spreads out, it will not be good for the reputation of the gentleman, so we should stop it quickly..."

Zou Shuyi was very nervous about this villain's reputation, and she was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she quickly and kindly reminded her, hoping to prevent the upcoming joke scene.

Li Yu touched it with his hand calmly, and this 1.7-meter-five-foot-tall beauty with long legs comforted him loudly;
"Don't worry, lady. Although I have never served the crops, I have read books, and farming requires skills. My husband can memorize them fluently.
How could one not know that plowing requires two oxen to come out at the same time, but this new plowshare made by Mr. Ben is extraordinary. "

Li Yu explained while pointing to the installed tools on the ground;
"Miss, have you seen that this curved part can smoothly send the plowed soil to one side, so that it won't get in the way anymore.
This slanted coulter can easily break through the soil in the field. The lady looks at this again. This wooden plow frame is inserted obliquely downwards, with a slight curvature. use force.

In this way, under the ebb and flow, the resistance has been reduced by more than ten times. According to common sense, one ox is enough to plow the land, and it is still more than enough.

If my expectations are correct, a strong ox with this new plowshare and plow frame should be able to plow and open the ground much faster and lighter than two oxen with the old straight-shaft plow. To exaggerate a bit, both mules can be pulled forward.

I'm afraid that when I start working, the strong cow will run wildly. The man holding the plow frame, who is used to the strength of the old plow, will find it difficult to accept the new plow and will be shocked. ,Ha ha……"
