Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1389 Don't be so lazy

"woooo~"

On the wheat field, accompanied by bursts of sirens, steam harvesters are constantly walking back and forth on the wheat field. On the harvesters, important ministers at the court are excitedly controlling the steam harvesters, which is very fresh.

As time passed, the sun became hotter.

Many ministers who were harvesting wheat sighed and complained non-stop. At the same time, they had to stand up from time to time to see how the steam harvesters were being operated.

Prepare to wait for them to harvest, and then it will be their turn to harvest the wheat.

As for harvesting wheat with a sickle in hand, I don’t know that it will take the year of the monkey to finish harvesting. Looking at my wheat field, it is endless. I have been busy for two or three hours, and I still only harvested a small corner.

"My waist~"

Some ministers kept rubbing their old waists and bending over to harvest the wheat. It was really exhausting. For ministers like them who are used to being superior, today's experience is an unforgettable experience.

"hu~hu~"

Guozijian Jijiu Xu Heng was panting heavily while harvesting the wheat with great difficulty.

He was already old and used to pampering himself, so harvesting wheat now would kill him, and he was wearing a long shirt and long sleeves, which made him look extremely embarrassed.

The sickle was cutting the wheat vigorously, but he always felt that he couldn't cut it. It seemed that his sickle was rusted. With a sudden force, he sat down in the field again, and the dirt fell on his butt.

I wanted to wipe it off, but I couldn't get up again, so I just sat in the field to rest, and then looked at myself, the long sleeves became tattered, the long gown was disheveled, and even the long hair and beard were messed up.

Stretching out his hands, there were already air bubbles on them. When he pressed lightly, he immediately cried out in pain.

"Sorry~"

"This old man has been a noble scholar all his life, how has he ever done such a despicable thing, it's really terrible."

Xu Heng was about to scold.

Standing up and taking a look, he has been busy for nearly a whole morning, and he only harvested a small piece of wheat. The key is that the wheat still needs to be dried, threshed, husked, and finally ground into flour. Thinking of this, he I couldn't help but feel dizzy, what year and month will it take to finish this?
Take a look at Liu Jin, Zhang Mao and others, driving the steam harvester. After a busy morning, there is only a little bit left in the ten-acre wheat field, and it will be harvested soon.

Many ministers have already rushed over. There is no doubt that it is obvious that the harvester is going to harvest the wheat. Harvesting wheat with a sickle is really not a human thing.

"Ah~"

Xu Heng sighed, looked at his own wheat field, and simply sat there and quit, and was ready to wait for the harvester to harvest the wheat.

On a wheat field next to him, Li Renjie is the same at this moment. Sitting on the wheat stalks, he is extremely embarrassed. Looking at Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian and others who are using steam harvesters, they are also waiting eagerly, wanting to Harvest the wheat with the harvester.

"Whoo~"

"It's finally finished."

Liu Jin controlled the harvester to harvest the last bit of wheat, and he laughed happily.

"Liu Gong, can I borrow this steam harvester?"

When a minister saw that Liu Jin had completed the work, he immediately came up with a smile in a hurry.

"Take it and use it~"

Liu Jin was very generous. He carried a bag of wheat to the concrete road and looked around.

Emperor Hongzhi was already sitting in the steam harvester, and was happily driving the steam harvester back and forth to harvest wheat. The same was true for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao and others. The wheat was almost finished.

Looking at the other ministers, because there are only a dozen steam harvesters prepared, many ministers are also resting at this moment, preparing to harvest wheat with steam harvesters.

The sharp-eyed Liu Jin saw Xu Heng, Li Renjie and others who were resting at a glance, and then quietly gave instructions to the person in charge of the farm.

Liu Jin, the minister clamoring about the new learning and research on the ingenious Yin skills in the court, remembers clearly, since you think the new learning is useless, and the machine you invented will make people lazy, then you don’t want to use it These harvesters, go slowly to harvest the wheat.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't be happier.

With a smile all over his face, he came to the side of Xu Heng, the Imperial Academy Jijiu.

"Master Xu, are you basically not moving?"

Looking at the wheat fields harvested by Xu Heng, Liu Jin said with a smile.

"The old man is old and has more energy than energy. He is not as good as you young people. Naturally, he is less."

Seeing Liu Jin approaching, Xu Heng held his beard that had just been smoothed and said.

"It's okay, it's okay~"

"Master Xu is an extremely hardworking person. It has been said in the court that people should not be lazy and hardworking. They should be hardworking. He must be a role model for us."

"Oh, by the way, I still remember Mr. Xu said that the things taught by Xinxue are all ingenious tricks, and they are dirty things. I think such a noble and hardworking person as Mr. Xu must not use steam harvesting. machine."

"After all, it's something that is researched by the new school. It's something that makes people lazy and slippery. It's something that makes people lazy and hard-working. It's something that is obscene."

"Right, Master Xu?"

Liu Jin looked at Xu Heng and said with a smile.

"You, you~"

When Xu Heng heard this, his beard crooked in anger.

To be honest, at this moment, like many ministers, he was waiting for the harvester to harvest the wheat, and he did not intend to use the sickle to harvest the wheat at all.

Ten mu of wheat, the devil knows when it will be harvested, and I guess if I really use a sickle to harvest ten mu of wheat, I will lose my old life here.

"what happened?"

"Master Xu?"

"These are all things you said yourself. Is it possible that Mr. Xu also wants to use the dirty things, and Mr. Xu is also a lazy person, right?"

Liu Jin looked at the distraught Xu Heng, and immediately smiled even more happily.

People who don't know the hard work of the farmers and the suffering of the common people are shouting every day in the temple to close the new school and drive people from the factory back to the farmland. Now it's time for you to taste the hard work of farming for yourself.

"Master Xu, harvesting wheat is just a part of a farmer's yearly work. There are many things that need to be done from seed to flour."

"Look, this spring we have to plow the land, then sow, weed, irrigate, harvest, thresh, dry, hustle, and grind. Every step is very hard."

"However, in the eyes of the industrious Mr. Xu, these are trivial matters. After all, ordinary people are not noble scholars. They are born to work hard. Even if they use machines, they will be said to be lazy."

Liu Jin said sarcastic remarks, and didn't mean to give the old man any face at all.

When opening and closing their mouths, they are all "hard-working Mr. Xu", "the noble Mr. Xu will definitely not use dirty things" and so on.

"Master Liu, don't criticize Sang and scold Huai here. Although I am not as good as you in terms of official position and rank, you are the only one who insults me like this."

Xu Heng was so angry that he looked at Liu Jin, stood up and said.

"I dare not scold Master Xu, let alone accuse Sang Huai, nor insult Master Xu."

"These are all what Master Xu himself said in the court."

"People can't be lazy and work hard, they should be diligent."

"The teachings of the new school are all dirty things, which will make people lazy and playful, and it seems to say that they want to drive all the people in the factory back to farm."

Liu Jin replied with a smile, and then he didn't want to pay any attention to him, and said, "Master Xu, it's better to harvest the wheat well, but don't use the sloppy harvester, you must be hardworking!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xu Heng and walked towards Li Renjie again, continuing to encourage Li Renjie.

"Be sure to work hard!"

"Don't be so lazy!"

Liu Jin went to visit one by one, but in the end they all left such a sentence.

"It's enough to rest for a while. It's not the style of hardworking people to rest all the time. You must know that farmers are reluctant to take a break during the harvest season. If the wheat is not harvested in time and dried in the sun, it will easily rot on the ground. in the ground."

"Master Zhang, what are you waiting for?"

"It's been half a day, and you only charged a little. Is this what you call hard work?"

"I remember what my lord said in the court, you can't be lazy and work hard, you must be hardworking!"

Liu Jin kept visiting one by one, and kept reminding these ministers that they must be hardworking, must not be lazy, and must hurry up to harvest the wheat, otherwise, at your speed, it is estimated that the wheat from the ten acres of land may be received. next year.

As for meeting ministers who support the new learning, it is naturally a different face.

"Old Zhang, don't be in such a hurry. Wait for Lao Li to finish collecting. It's your turn. It will be finished in half a day. Let's dry it in the sun tomorrow, and then use the machine to grind it into powder the day after tomorrow. In these two days Just come down and experience life.”

"What's the plan for tonight?"

"In the evening, we are arranged to have a bonfire and eat roasted whole lamb, hot pot and so on. What do you think?"

"them?"

"I guess they are not in the mood for the next one. After all, their backs are sore and they must have a good rest. After all, they are very hardworking people, and some of them have to be busy in the future."

Liu Jin kept walking in the field, chatting with ministers one after another, and seeing those rotten Confucians in a mess, Liu Jin was very happy and wanted to taunt a few more words.

These rotten scholars are really disgusting.

The things taught by the new learning are obviously useful to Ming Dynasty, to society, and to the progress of mankind as a whole, but in their eyes, they are all obscene and unworthy things.

It is obvious that all kinds of machines were invented to improve production efficiency and reduce labor pressure, but in their eyes, they have become things that make people lazy.

That being the case, you should go slowly and diligently to harvest the wheat.
