Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 333;

Chapter 330; the power of the rake

Li Yi next to him followed suit;
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the villain will learn to control it slowly. It is probably not too difficult, and he should be able to learn it."

Li Yu stood on top of the wooden frame, with his feet separated from both sides, and started a live demonstration;

"Look, that's it. If it's crooked, just use your two feet to straighten it. It's not difficult. Let's start. My father-in-law has finished the cow. Don't delay, go quickly and tie the rope next to it tightly." point, tie it to the cowhide..."

"Hey, let's go, little one."

Seeing the old man coming to lead the ox, Li Yi hurriedly asked someone to lift the wooden frame and put it behind the cattle. A group of common people helped to fix the ropes on both sides firmly, and Li Yi stood on the wooden frame.

The old man who led the ox gave two hoots, and the ox began to push forward, pulling the wooden frame forward. This ox had not been working in the field all day, so he was full of energy, thinking that it was the same as before, pulling Heavy plow.

Mou ran forward with all his strength, but in the end he used too much force and rushed out with the wooden frame. Li Yi, who was standing on the wooden frame, had nowhere to grab his hands and was defenseless, so he was pulled away all at once. He fell on all fours in the field.

A group of peasant households roared with laughter, and even the dozen or so women present covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Several old men hurried forward, helped Li Yi up, and patted the dirt on his body. The old man leading the ox in front also stopped, a little at a loss.

Li Yu hurried forward to check the details;

"Guard Li, are you okay, is it okay?"

Li Yi himself smiled hehe;

"Thank you for your concern. The villain is fine. It doesn't matter if you fall in the mud. It's just standing like this. There is no one to hold him. Some are not stable. Please check it out."

Li Yu pondered for a moment before saying;

"Well...it's really a thing, otherwise, everyone tighten the ropes on both sides, and call this wooden frame, which is halfway from the cow's buttocks.
In this case, the swinging range will be much smaller. Find another rope, bind it to the wooden sheath of the cow's neck, and leave it here... and let Li Yi hold it in his hand, maybe it will be safer. "

After Li Yu finished speaking, there were servants in the mansion immediately, who untied Er Niu's rope and tied it up.
The other end of the rope was handed over to Li Yi to pull. The people at the scene actively untied the ropes on the wooden frames on both sides, shrinking it by a small half. said;

"Can Li Guanshi start now?"

"My father-in-law, slow down. I have never done this kind of thing before. Don't let me fall down again. It will delay your important affairs."

The old man is now on the side of the bull's head, tilting his neck and speaking;

"Don't worry, Manager Li. The old man has never pulled an empty plow before. This is the first time he has ever seen this ox pulling an empty plow.
For a while, people and cows are not easy to control. This time the old man manipulates slowly, as slowly as possible. "

"That's great, I'm standing up, my father-in-law, let's start."

"Hey, come on, yo, drink..."

This time, the old man leading the ox walked very slowly, and the ox also found that he could move the things behind him without much effort, so he automatically contracted his strength.

Li Yi held the rope in his hand again, and gained a point of strength. After walking a few dozen steps crookedly, the two of them and the cow found a rhythm. Under Li Yi's yelling, the old man who led the cow began to control the cattle, increasing some speed.

The onlookers watched the faster and faster oxen with a rake plowing towards the east of the field. They all ran into the field and carefully observed the mud lumps after the rake passed. They were really much smaller, and they all began to be amazed.

Not long after, the old man led the ox and plowed over on the other side, and immediately there were more neat marks of one or two meters in the field.

The people watching Zou Tonglin plowing the fields with one ox over there felt that it was rare enough for one ox to pull the plow faster than the two could run.

Unexpectedly, something newer came up here. An old man was leading a cow with a frame behind his buttocks, and there was a man standing on top of it. He ran much faster than Guanshi Zou's new plow with a single cow... …

They came here one after another, and the common people didn't know what they were doing, so more and more village households gathered here.

After hearing about the previous neighbors and introducing each other, I realized that it was Mr. Lang who got something new again. He went back and forth like this several times, and smashed the big clods in the field.

Many people didn't believe that there was such a rectification method, and they all ran into the field and bent over to check, only to find out that it was true.

"Oh my god, it's God's favor to plow the land so quickly and save trouble from now on. I didn't expect Mr. Lang to come up with such a sharp weapon again."

"Isn't it? From now on, even the effort of smashing the soil will be saved. From now on, how comfortable will it be to serve the crops?"

"Yes, yes, I really dare not think that serving the crops can be so beautiful..."

An old man in his 60s in the crowd said proudly;

"That is, if you don't think about it, what kind of character is our gentleman?

At the beginning, old Alang fought all his life, and finally with his military merits, he was conferred the title of baron of the county, causing a sensation all over the world. In the whole Lantian, only our family's meritorious service, what a prestige it is!
Unexpectedly, it took Lang Jun's turn to be the master of the house, how long did it take, and now he is the county magistrate, but I don't know, what kind of official position is this county magistrate? "

A middle-aged strong man next to him, who seemed to have seen the world, immediately spoke;

"You don't understand this, but a certain family knows it clearly..."

As soon as the words came out, a large group of people immediately surrounded the strong man, yelling for him to speak quickly.

The strong man cleared his throat and said;
"In the past, Ah Lang, the Baron of Jianguo County was an official of the fifth rank, but after he was promoted to the county magistrate, he became the official fifth rank.

Now this county uncle is very important, he is the top grade among the fourth-rank officials, he is on the fourth rank, obediently, put it in the court, he is the number one person..."

Listening to a group of country folks equating their titles with officials' ranks, Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Zou Shuyi, next to her, went out to buy chicks in all directions this year. After running for several months, she has seen a lot now.

She knew that the title was a title, and the specific official position was another matter, so she persuaded with a smile;
"Lang Jun, don't laugh at them, the country people have never seen the world, so if they tell an anecdote, it is more serious than anything else.

Besides, the people in these Zhuangzi all wished for Lang Jun to be the biggest, and they didn't have any other ideas, as long as Lang Jun listened. "

Li Yu also kept nodding his head. He also knew the innocence of these people, so of course he wouldn't really laugh at them.

While a group of people were talking, the old man led the ox with a wooden frame and Li Yi behind him, and raked a field of four or five mu back and forth three times, and finally parked the ox on the ridge.

All the people are crazy, to see the effect of the land that has been raked three times, a strong man sighed in amazement;

"Lang Jun is really a god who came down to earth to think of such a wonderful method, tsk, tsk, tsk..."

The old men beside them also began to chatter;

"Isn't that right, the entire family of four and a half acres of land would have to be smashed for at least a day. With this method, Mr. Lang, it took less than half an hour to make it so uniform that the soil was so fine that it was fine and fine. so……

In the past, our whole family, old and young, went out on horseback, exhausted for a day, and we couldn't keep up with running a few times like this, let alone the fine pieces made like this...

With this thing, farmers all over the world will save a lot of energy in the future, and they will be able to grow more. "

"Yeah, look at it, the ground is really soft. It must be easier for the grain planted in this way to break through the ground.
Not to mention anything else, during the season, save four or five days and rush to plant, plus such a soft, finely divided land,

I reckon that one mu of land can produce more than one stone. The old man has been serving the crops for almost 50 years, and he will never guess wrong. If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see later. If the old man is not right, you can spit on my face and I will say a word Not stubborn..."

Looking at the extremely happy people, Li Yu felt indescribably comfortable. Finally, today's work was not in vain. In the future, the production speed of his own farm will be effectively improved.

Li Yu said relaxedly to the sister Zou Shuyi next to her;

"Okay, it's getting dark soon. After trying the new rake, it can really improve the speed of serving the field. Now that I have a foregone conclusion, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Now go to your sister's place to check the door, so that when you want to visit the door in the future, you don't know where to look for it. "

Zou Shujuan didn't dare to answer casually this time, fearing that if she said something bad again, the villagers would roar with laughter, so she just gently pulled her elder sister's clothes from behind her.

Zou Shuyi understood and responded with a smile;

"Please, sir, let's go back right away, don't worry, sir, my sister's skills are certainly not as good as the chefs in the house,
But don't have the taste of home-cooked food, and you won't disappoint Mr. Lang. Besides, Mr. Wang eats fish and meat all day long, and changing his taste occasionally is also a good choice. "

"Of course."

The three of them chatted and laughed and left the field ridge by the river, Yingxiang took Xichun with her, Tanchun sisters followed behind, and a group of people walked back into the Zhuangzi leisurely.

When walking to Zhuangzi, Zou Shujuan specially bought a leg of lamb on the streets of Lantian Xinxian County.

Because I didn't bring any money, I could only credit it on the account first. Fortunately, the shopkeeper who sold the butcher also knew the sisters of the Zou family, and knew that they were the chief manager of farming and the second manager.

In addition, the county uncle followed him, and he didn't dare to fart. He weighed the leg of lamb with a smile on his face, and gave him enough weight.

He personally delivered it to the door of the shop, nodded and bowed to say goodbye, Li Yu didn't even look at him, Ying Xiang stayed at the end, and told the shopkeeper of the butcher shop;
"Tomorrow, someone from the mansion will naturally come to give you money, so you don't have to worry about running away."

"Don't dare, the villain has a lot of guts, how dare you think like this, please come back, lady, the county uncle has gone far, you should hurry up and follow."
