Yipin Tang

Chapter 36

"Shoutian, meet the young master soon."

A strong man named Shou Tian was digging his head into pulling the plow, when he heard Uncle Yu's words, he immediately put down his work and saluted Wang Xiang.Liu Shoutian is very grateful to Wang Xiang. A few days ago his son Liu Mandun was recruited to work in Yipin Winery, and he was paid two taels of silver a month.Working in a wine shop is much easier than farming, and two taels of silver a month is a high salary that ordinary farmers can't imagine. As long as you save a little money and save for a few months, you can help you get married and marry a wife. The house can also be repaired, and many people in the village envy his family's good luck.

Unaware of Liu Shoutian's thoughts, Wang Xiang waved his hands and said, "Come out, I'll try."

Liu Shoutian didn't know, so he looked at Wang Xiang and then at Uncle Yu. Uncle Yu said, "Young master wants to try pulling a plow."

"Ah?" Liu Shoutian was even more puzzled: "Young master wants to pull the plow?"

Seeing Uncle Yu nodding, he hurriedly said, "I'll go to Xu Er and bring the ox."

"No, I'll try it like this."

Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli, who followed from behind, also came forward curiously when they saw that Wang Xiang was going to pull the plow.

"Wang Jiancheng, what are you doing?" Li Zhi stayed in the palace since he was a child. He never had the chance to see the plow plowing the land. He thought Wang Xiang had found something interesting.

Although Liu Shoutian didn't know Li Zhi's identity, seeing that he was well-dressed, he knew that he was the son of a wealthy family, so he patiently explained: "Young master is going to plow the land."

"What do you do pulling a plow to plow the land? Is it fun?"

Liu Shoutian was stunned and didn't know how to answer, and Uncle Yu behind him was even more speechless. He didn't expect that there would be someone even more ignorant of farming than the young master.

Little Loli really couldn't see Li Zhi continuing to be stupid, so she pulled him to whisper about farming. Li Zhi was curious about this and it was Little Loli who told him, so she listened very carefully.

"How hard are the people farming the land?"

"Of course, so if you become the emperor in the future, you must treat the people of the world better."

Li Zhi wanted to say that the elder brother of the crown prince would be the emperor, but for some reason he held back his words.

In his previous life, Wang Xiang also experienced life in a farmhouse. The tour guide there even taught him how to pull a plow. Liu Shoutian was taken aback, and he really looked like a skilled plow puller just in this posture.

Wang Xiang complacently prepared for the work, stretched his muscles and bones, straightened his back under everyone's expectant eyes, and then...

Then there was no more, the waist flashed, which scared everyone.

"Quick, quickly help the young master to sit down!"

Without Bo Yu's order, Liu Shoutian has already stepped forward to support the grinning Wang Xiang, and carefully helped him to sit down.

"Brother-in-law, are you alright?" Little Lolita looked nervous. She was about to watch Wang Xiang's tiger's body shake and pull the plow and gallop. Unexpectedly, the plow didn't move, but the person fell down. It seemed that he was still seriously injured.

Li Zhi was even more frightened and opened his little mouth into an "O": it turns out that pulling the plow to cultivate the land is such a dangerous job.I feel more sympathetic to the people of Datang in my heart.

Wang Xiang, who was helped to sit aside by Liu Shoutian, only felt one thing now, not pain, but embarrassment...

Pulling a plow actually flashed his waist, especially seeing Li Zhi's terrified appearance, Wang Xiang was really sad, this kid will not have a psychological shadow on Lali in the future, but fortunately he will live in this life There is no need to pull a plow.

The young master flinched in his own field, Liu Shoutian was terrified, and yelled for someone to come over to help, Wang Xiang didn't even feel like the egg was breaking, he flinched and rested for a while and he was fine. I am afraid that the news of shouting will spread soon.

Move fast and pose handsomely.Wang Xiang burst into tears when he recalled the tricks of pulling the plow that the cheating tour guide in his previous life said. How many times does it have to be plowed by people, and the ground will be a deep big footprint if you step on it. Can it be compared?It's also Wang Xiang's own fault. Pulling the plow should start slowly. If you stand up like him, you know it's him pulling the plow. If you don't know it, you think it's some bastard playing a race in the field when you look at it from a distance. .

The young man flashed his waist and recovered quickly, but seeing the strange expressions of the farmers, Wang Xiang really couldn't get better.

After finally convincing everyone that he was really fine, Wang Xiang said to Liu Shoutian, "Bring me the plow."

When Liu Shoutian brought the plow in front of him, Wang Xiang suddenly realized and said to himself: "So it's not just that the land is wrong, but the plow is also wrong."

Farmers are at a loss, what is wrong with the plow?

Liu Shoutian had an idea and said quickly: "Master, the plow is not right, which caused the master to twist his waist."

Who is it that really treats me like a child?Wang Xiang said depressedly: "I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that you plow the land slowly because the plow is wrong."

"Master, this plow has been like this since ancient times, what's wrong?"

"This kind of plow is difficult to pull, and it is difficult to change direction after plowing all the way."

Uncle Yu glanced at Wang Xiang unexpectedly. Before seeing him plowing a field, he thought he was really ignorant of farming. He didn't expect to be able to point out the shortcomings of the plow right now. I'm afraid many farmers would not go there. Think about these questions.

A farmer wondered, "Isn't that the case with all plows?"

Wang Xiang laughed and said, "I know a plow that is much easier to use than the plow you are using now, that is, the land can be plowed in at most two days without plowing oxen."

"Two days?"

Liu Shoutian took a look at his own land and couldn't believe that it could be plowed in two days, let alone without plowing cattle.

"Is there anyone in the village who can forge iron?"

Hearing Wang Xiang's question, a farmer said, "Old Ding is a good blacksmith, and he forges all the agricultural tools in the farm."

Lao Ding is a skilled blacksmith. He usually makes iron pots and kitchen knives for the farmers in the village. Today, he just finished making a big pot and was about to take a rest when he saw a group of people coming towards his blacksmith shop.

"Tie Dan, don't rest, there is a business coming." Lao Ding's eyes are not very good when he is old, he only sees people but doesn't know who they are.

Tie Dan is Lao Ding's son, and his body is stronger than Cheng Chuliang's. He has a bronze skin, and his muscles are full of explosive power. When he heard Lao Ding's words, he stopped to untie his apron and looked up, saying, "Father, it's Yu Bo. gone."

The first time I saw Wang Xiang, the iron egg, I couldn't help but think of a person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei, the ancient evil, just by looking at his physique, he knew that he was a warrior who could fight rhinoceros, bears and tigers.

It is a pity that this person did not join the army.

"Uncle Yu."

His voice is not as fierce as his appearance, but rather naive.

"Tie Dan, did you cause trouble today?"

Hearing Uncle Yu's teasing, Tie Dan scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a simple smile, "I accidentally broke two iron pots when forging iron today."

Lao Ding said angrily: "Forging iron requires skill, what's the use of using brute force alone, I really don't know if my skill can be passed on."

All the dealers laughed out loud when they heard the words, obviously this was not the first time that Tie Dan had done something like this.

"Uncle Yu, why are there so many people here today?" Lao Ding also found that there were too many people here, and he didn't look like he was going to beat something.

"It's the young master who wants to make something."

"Master?" Old Ding noticed Wang Xiang in the crowd, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. In fact, when Old Ding saw Wang Xiang, he had a thought in his heart, but when he heard Uncle Yu say that Wang Xiang wanted to hit something, he thought It's better to get things done first and then talk.

Wang Xiang didn't know what Lao Ding had in mind, smiled and said, "I came here today to ask you to help me build a plow, well, there is no need to rebuild it, just modify the original plow a little bit."

As he said that, two farmers came forward carrying the plow brought from Liu Shou's field. Seeing this, Tie Dan stepped forward and lifted the plow and put it on the iron felt next to him. Wang Xiang clicked his tongue secretly at that casual look. He lifted the plow that was difficult for two big men to lift with one hand, and it was still very easy, and his strength was not ordinary.

Not only the farmers were curious about the Quyuanli that Wang Xiang mentioned, but Lao Ding was also curious. He has been forging iron all his life and has made hundreds of plows. He never knew that there are other plows.

Wang Xiang patiently explained what needs to be modified, and even drew a rough outline of Quyuanli on the ground. Although Lao Ding pondered for a long time, although he didn't know what the change would be, he still made changes according to Wang Xiang's request.Unlike iron pots and kitchen knives, plows are labor-intensive to build, which gives Iron Dan room to play. Swinging a hammer weighing dozens of kilograms is like playing with it, and Lao Ding only needs to guide it.

The process of making it is boring, Wang Xiang didn't intend to wait here, but took Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli to the first-tasting winery for a stroll. In the research room, Laifu seems to have forgotten his status as a servant of the Hou Mansion after spending all day in the first-tasting wine shop, and has become a researcher, leading a few people to tinker with the fruit wine that Wang Xiang said.

Not to mention, it really made him look a little bit, although the taste is still a bit sour, but seeing Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli's surprised faces, Wang Xiang knew that success was not far away, so he gave a lot of encouragement Wait until the sun is west before taking Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli back to Lao Ding's blacksmith shop.

At this time, the plow had been modified according to Wang Xiang's request, and the modified plow looked quite different from the original one. Everyone pointed around the plow, and when Wang Xiang came back, Lao Ding pointed to the strange plow in front of him and asked, "Master!" , can this plow really plow the land?" The farmer also had doubts on his face.

Wang Xiang laughed and said: "Not only can you cultivate the land, but you can also cultivate it very quickly."So Tiedan carried the plow, and the farmers followed Wang Xiang to try the plow.

At this time, Li Er had just come out of the Lizheng Hall, and saw a eunuch waiting outside the door, beckoning, the eunuch immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news that Wang Zixin brought His Royal Highness King Jin Went to Zhuangzi outside the city, and found something called Quyuanli."

"Quyuan plow?"

Li Er nodded thoughtfully: "I heard that the prince and the king of Yue also went to Linchuanhou's mansion for dinner recently?"
