Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 329;

Chapter 330;

Zhang Laoshi looked at Zou Tonglin who was leading the cow ahead and said;

"Okay, the old man just hold on tight, Manager Zou can start at any time..."

"Alright, let's go."

"Snapped!"

Zou Tonglin raised his whip in the air, flicked a whip, and there was a crisp crack.

The cattle that had been prepared a long time ago rushed forward with all their strength as usual.

Zou Tonglin remembered with all his heart that what the elder sister had told him was to save face for Li Yu, and to drive the cattle forward without paying attention to other things. He only had one task.

It is to control the ox well, and the furrows plowed must be horizontal and vertical, so as to show his ability.

The cattle rested for a long time without working, and this time they were full, and went to work as usual.

The only thing that didn't feel right was the blacksmith Zhang Laoshi. He was a little surprised in the first few breaths. He didn't expect that a ox pulling a plow would start easily and break through the ground very smoothly.

But without seven or eight steps, Zhang Laoshi couldn't care about other things. He had to use all his strength to ensure that the iron plow that was advancing rapidly, the furrows plowed out were not crooked or slanted.

I don’t know how many times Zhang Laoshi has served the crops. He has never felt such a speed. He was a little unprepared. He just lowered his head and watched the iron plow turn the soil out, and then fell to the right. Neatly, Zhang Laoshi was a little dizzy ...

Li Yu on the ground let go of his tightly clenched fists and collapsed, cheering happily;
"Oh yeah, it's done..."

On the ridge of the field, apart from Li Yu, there were no. 20 people left, all dumbfounded, with indifferent expressions on their faces, looking at the two who ran two or three hundred steps away in an instant.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid that if I have another cup of tea, I will be plowing to the edge of the river at the east end of the field. The length of this land from east to west is a thousand paces away...

The crowd didn't know who it was, so they couldn't help sighing;
"My mother, this is much faster than when I am full and go out for a walk..."

Zhang Laoshi's eldest son stood dumbfounded in front of the crowd, muttering to himself;
"Oh my God, this is still a farm cattle..."

Zou Shuyi opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief. Zou Shujuan covered her mouth with her small hand, but she still couldn't hold back, and finally exclaimed.

Li Yi stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink, he was afraid that if he closed his eyes and opened them again, this dream-like scene would never be there again.

Everyone looked at the two people and the cow in the field intently, cheering in their hearts, hoping to plow to the edge of the river a thousand steps away quickly, so that the cattle would fall tired again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Laoshi, who was helping the plow in the middle, staggered and fell to the ground due to the dirt under his feet. Zou Tonglin, who was leading the cow in front, was still driving the cow forward wholeheartedly.

Zhang Laoshi, who was crawling on the ground, did not have time to sit up, so he raised his head and called out loudly in the posture of lying on the ground;
"Boss Zou, stop, stop quickly, stop quickly..."

Zou Tonglin also sensed that something was wrong, the cattle suddenly accelerated, running faster than him, and heard someone calling from behind.

Zou Tonglin, who was trotting, took a moment to turn around to see that Zhang Tie, who was helping the plow, was lying on the ground and shouting loudly.

Zou Tonglin didn't have time to check the situation, so he quickly calmed down the cattle;

"Yo yo yo……"

Finally stopped the crazily advancing strong bull, Zou Tonglin thought what was wrong with Blacksmith Zhang, so he hurried towards Zhang Laoshi, wanting to see how Zhang Laoshi fell.

Among the group of people in the field behind, seven or eight rushed out and rushed over from the field.

Before the people at both ends ran to Blacksmith Zhang, they saw Blacksmith Zhang, and he simply got up on his stomach without patting the dirt on his body, and ran towards the cattle like crazy.

Zou Tonglin was running towards the west, and within ten steps, Zhang Tiejiang jumped up on the ground and ran past him again.

Confused, Zou Tonglin hurriedly turned around and ran back to the cattle. Before he could catch his breath, Zou Tonglin asked Blacksmith Zhang who was squatting on the ground holding the iron plow to check;
"My father-in-law, how did you fall, is there any discomfort?"

Blacksmith Zhang quickly waved his hand and said;

"Don't worry, the old man is fine, the old man is fine, hurry up and see how deep the plowed ground is, can it be used?"

Zou Tonglin just turned his head to check, and the seven or eight people in the field just ran over. After seeing the plowed field, Zou Tonglin felt a little uncomfortable, and complained;

"Father-in-law, I, Zou, drove the cattle today, but I was single-minded. However, your old man's handling of the plow is too bad. You can see that the plowed land is crooked..."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled embarrassedly;

"Don't blame Guanshi Zou. It's really the old man's fault. It hurt Guanshi Zou's hard work. It's just that there is a reason. The old man has been supporting the plow frame for most of his life. , I panicked a lot, and now I am crooked, and I ask Guanshi Zou to forgive me."

Zhang Laoshi was sincere and sincere, and apologized directly, making Zou Tonglin unable to get off the table, blushing and thick neck, but only hesitated for a moment, and his good education immediately dominated Zou Tonglin;

"My father-in-law, don't want to be like this. I'm also confused. I shouldn't complain if I talk too fast. My father-in-law will forgive me for the sake of my innocence."

After Zou Tonglin finished speaking, he stood on the ground and straightened his clothes, bending over to salute.

"I can't, I can't, Manager Zou."

After Zhang Laoshi apologized, he was about to check the plowshare again, but when he saw the farming steward accompanying him, he quickly stood up and supported Zou Tonglin.

At this time, the eight people who ran over from the field just approached the two of them, and one of the servants from the mansion shouted at the top of their voices;

"Boss Zou, look at the effort you've made in a while, and you've plowed five or six hundred steps. The new plow that Mr. Lang remodeled is really powerful. It's really much faster than the plow frame pulled by two oxen. You have a look……"

Another man also answered;
"That's right, Manager Zou, the plow pulled out at such a speed, even the old man Zhang has been serving the crops for half his life, and he can't guard against it."

"Ok?"

Zou Tonglin single-mindedly commanded the cattle, wanting to earn back some face for Mr. Lang. He was too focused, and wanted to use up all the strength of the cattle in one breath before finishing work. He was afraid that the plow would be too heavy for an ox. I can't pull it anymore.
So he didn't have time to check other things. After Zhang Blacksmith fell down and stopped, he complained that he was meticulously leading the cows. Zhang Blacksmith couldn't even hold the plow.

The plowed ground was crooked, so many people looked at it, and others thought that Zou Tonglin couldn't even handle a cow, so they just complained.

After being reminded by everyone, Zou Tonglin realized that, before he knew it, two people and one ox had already plowed five or six hundred steps.

Zou Tonglin carefully measured the length of the furrows and ridges that had been plowed out with his eyes. He was sure that there were more than 500 steps, and then he exclaimed;
"That's impossible. A certain family is an experienced ox-handler. An ox pulls a plow. If it is stretched to death, it will take only two hundred steps, and it will be exhausted. It is impossible to plow five or six hundred steps, even if it is whipped. Not five or six hundred..."

The servant who spoke earlier smiled and persuaded;

"Look at Mr. Zou, the villain walked over just now. Mr. Lang told the villain to measure it step by step. The villain dare not lie. He really measured 560 eight steps. Please check Mr. Zou clearly."

Zou Tonglin looked at the people around him, didn't say a word, started from the cow's buttocks, and walked to Li Yu's side step by step, carefully counting the steps in his heart.

A group of people in the field were discussing enthusiastically, what is so great about Xinli, Li Yu looked at Zou Tonglin who was walking over, and asked with a smile;

"Boss Zou, how many steps did you measure yourself?"

Zou Tonglin scratched his head and answered;
"I want to report to you, sir, just now the gentleman sent someone to measure 560 eight steps, and the villain measured 560 steps again."

Zou Shuyi interrupted and said;
"Everyone has different legs and feet, and it's normal to miss a few steps. After all, it's an indisputable fact that you can take more than 500 steps in a short while.

Congratulations to Mr. Lang, you have transformed such a sharp weapon and solved a major problem for the peasants of the world. People will spend less effort because of this, and they will have to cultivate more fertile land because of this, and many people will starve to death because of it. Have a safe life. "

Li Yi also came over and said seriously;
"To the Patriarch, what Manager Zou said is very true. God will definitely record the credit for the construction of Xinli. The Patriarch is really a kind person."

Li Yu listened to the people's praise from the bottom of his heart, and felt extremely comfortable. The pores of his body were full of beauty, and he really couldn't hold on to his airs today;
"What credit is not credit, is it for credit?

A certain family sees the hard work of the farmers all over the world. When it comes to farming, because they are afraid of missing the solar terms, they work to death, but they still can't cultivate enough.

When I think of the suffering of the poor in the world, I feel so uncomfortable, I can't eat, I can't sleep or eat.

So, I checked the books for several months in the study room, and after careful deliberation for a long time, I came up with the shape of this new plow.

Yesterday I couldn't sleep well all night. Today I rushed to the river to check the plowing. As expected, it was still extremely difficult for two oxen to pull the plow.

When I went back to the mansion, I arranged for blacksmiths to build it non-stop, just to solve some troubles for the people of the world.

Now it seems that God pays off, my months of suffering have not been in vain, as long as I can do something practical for the poor, it is worth it for me to stay up for another month. "

After Li Yu finished speaking with emotion and sincerity, he even wiped the cuffs of his clothes, trying hard to squeeze out a few tears.

Li Yi looked at the Patriarch from the side, clenched his fists, and said harshly;
"The owner is really kind..."

Zou Shuyi approached Li Yu, her red eyes choked with concern and said;
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the poor, why can't you rest after months of exhaustion? It's really hard for you. You should cherish your body."

Zou Shujuan, who was three steps away, was moved to tears when she heard that Li Yu couldn't eat and sleep well for a month in order to solve the problems of the poor.

The common people of the village stood on the side, feeling dejected, thinking that the young man had just tied his hair, and it was a time for eating, drinking, having fun, and being carefree.

But for the sake of the poor people, he has to suffer for several months. This kind of feeling is really touching and kind. I don’t know if I can’t sleep well or eat well after suffering for so long. Whether this little man can grow taller in the future... …
