Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 321;

Chapter 320;
On Li Yu's head, as if a tap had been turned on, sweat dripped down his head, but he had to grit his teeth and bear it.

After all, there are thousands of people around, it's not the time to be pretentious, you can act coquettishly and cutely when you return to the mansion, but this serious scene of spring plowing on the ridge of the field beside the river...

Hearing Rong Niang's words, Li Yu looked very unwilling, her tone was cold, and she also knew that the maid who grew up with her was going to be unable to hold back, so she quickly spoke to appease her;
"It's okay...Rong...mother, I am...it's okay..."

Li Yu started to stammer when he spoke, his words were not as straight as before, because this is not the concrete floor in Zhuangzi.

This is the field, which is full of potholes, and the heavy plow under his hands is exhausting, making it difficult to walk, and Li Yu concentrates on holding the handle of the plow, so his speech is inevitably not neat.

Zou Shuyi's younger brother didn't think too much, and just answered the sentence;
"If you go back to the management of Lin University, the villain has inquired about Commander Liu. Every year, the plowing starts from one end, plows to the other end, and there are three or four hundred steps left, and you can... "

Zou Shuyi's brother was interrupted sharply by his elder sister before he could finish his sentence;
"Brother, stop talking, stop the cow quickly, stop immediately."

"Yes, sister."

Knowing that thousands of eyes were staring at him behind him, Li Yu could only hold his breath;

"It's okay, it's okay, Aye used to be able to plow to the east, so can I, it's okay..."

Li Yu was still holding on, and the strength in his hands had no reaction force. The two strong bulls were stopped by the siblings in front.

Finally stopped, Li Yu supported the handle of the plow, barely stood up straight, Yingxiang next to him gave Zou Shuyi's younger brother a hard look,
Hurrying up to wipe Li Yu's sweat, Li Yu took the silk scarf to welcome the fragrance, and wiped his head and face.

Zou Shuyi's younger brother looked at the icy face of Manager Lin, and then at Yingxiang, the envoy, gave him a vicious look, and he was also surprised;
I've provoked someone, it's unreasonable to lose my temper with me when I'm walking with the cows wholeheartedly. After thinking about it carefully, Zou Shuyi's brother feels that it's probably because today, the day of going out is not very auspicious...

Zou Shuyi took three steps into two, and hurriedly walked over from the front. Seeing Rong Niang's face as cold as ice, she helped Xiao Langjun without saying a word, Zou Shuyi smiled very awkwardly,

Look at Li Yu again, wiping sweat with one hand, and tightly holding the plow handle with the other hand, this has stopped, this little man's legs are still trembling...

How can Zou Shuyi not be distressed, she is not a hard-hearted villain, and she regards this little person as heaven in her heart,
Looking at the little man who has never suffered, who has been aloof all day long, he will come to do this despicable labor,
It must be the first time she has suffered a crime. Looking at this little gentleman, his legs are still trembling, Zou Shuyi feels as uncomfortable as being stabbed with a knife...

She presided over the spring plowing event today, she was only excited, and never thought of this. The iron plow pulled by the two oxen is a grown man, and she has to hold it hard.

Zou Shuyi pretended to be calm and said;

"Forgive me, my master, I have forgotten about it. My husband just tied his hair, and my slave..."

Zou Shuyi couldn't go on talking, and he didn't dare to look at Li Yu's trembling legs, he was afraid that he couldn't help but shed tears for a while, making people laugh.

Li Yu let out a breath of foul air easily;
"What kind of crime, everyone can farm the land, why can't I, I'm not a proud person, just like everyone else, I have one nose and two eyes, so I have to learn how to farm the land.

I can’t hold the plow today, one is that the plow is too heavy, and the other is that I am not yet a man, if the iron plow can be lifted more easily, I will grow up a few years later..."

Seeing that Li Yu said half of what he said, no one cared, Zou Shuyi only blamed herself in her heart, why did she forget to feel sorry for this little person, and she was still talking about it;

"Lang Jun was joking. This iron plow has been like this since ancient times. There is nothing easy about it. It's all because of my slave's fault. I forgot that Lang Jun's body hasn't grown up yet."

Zou Shuyi's brother didn't dare to talk nonsense while standing aside, and the steward Lin stood beside him with a cold face, and Zou Shuyi's brother was a little apprehensive.

My elder sister is the chief steward in charge of farming, so she is naturally qualified to speak, but I dare not say a word because of my own status. I didn't look at the second-class maid Yingxiang, so I followed the rules and didn't say a word?

Seeing Li Yu's trembling legs, Rong Niang became inexplicably angry. She had grown up holding Li Yu's little hand since she was a child, and cared for her from the age of six to today, she knew it best in her heart.

This gentleman has never done any rough work at all, with his skin and tender flesh, how can he help the heavy plow pulled out by these two oxen?
Even though Rong Niang was furious, she still tried to bear it. She has a gentle temper, she never said harsh words, and she didn't want to offend Zou Shuyi too much.

How can I say that he is also the chief manager of farming, and his status is only above his own, second only to Commander Liu, and at the same level as the chief manager of the granary. He is one of the best figures among the five Zhuangzi.

Rong Niang couldn't get angry indiscriminately, so she could only say to Ying Xiang in a cold voice;

"Yingxiang, if you don't work for a few months, you've forgotten how to serve people, haven't you! If you haven't helped Mr. Lang, do you have to wait for him to fall on the ground before helping him?"

Where has Yingxiang ever seen, this elder sister of the Lin family who treats her so well on weekdays, has such a tone of speech?
Let yourself feel that kind of coldness, like standing in the wilderness for three or nine days, making people feel cold all over, and hurriedly agreed, and then went to support Li Yu's other arm;
"Yes, yes, yes, the chief steward calmed down, the servants know."

As if Li Yu didn't hear everyone's words, he stared carefully at the iron plow that was more than half buried in the soil at his feet.

Li Yu had never planted land in his previous life, but when he was a guest at the home of the migrant workers under his command, he had seen it many times, and he had also seen farmers plowing the land with his own eyes.

After plowing, the soil is turned directly to the other side, but unlike here, the soil is plowed forward and turned out.

Li Yu couldn't remember clearly. In the history textbooks, was it Quyuanli that existed in the Tang Dynasty, or Quyuanli that only appeared in the Song Dynasty?
However, he is not in the mood to study these things now, and Li Yu even feels a little regretful, why didn't he think of this matter long ago?

At this time, it must be a plowshare that goes straight up and down, otherwise, the soil will not turn forward, and it is even more impossible to use two strong oxen to pull the plow.

Li Yu looked at Zou Shuyi's brother next to him calmly, and said loudly;

"Boss Zou, come and take out this plowshare. I'll see why the plow is so heavy. I'll go back to the study and check to see if I can improve it so that when I plow in the future, the speed will be improved." Hurry up."

"Yes, sir, if you check it out, there must be a way to solve it."

When Zou Tonglin heard that Mr. Lang said that he wanted to improve the plowshare, he was so excited that he quickly squatted down, pulled out the plowshare, and handed it to Mr. Wang for inspection.

His mind is simple, even though he also knows that people have been plowing the land like this for thousands of years, but Zou Tonglin still stubbornly believes that as long as Mr. Lang wants to do, there is nothing he cannot do.

I didn't look at the red brick and big tile house I live in now, it's quite impressive, the white walls in the house, I'm afraid it will get dirty if I touch it.

The yard is so clean. He has never been to Chang'an, but he thinks that even in Chang'an City, it should be nothing more than that. It may not even be as clean and tidy as his own yard...

In Zou Tonglin's understanding, Lijiazhuang is the cleanest place in the world, and even Ye Xiang has a special channel to escape.

It only needs to be connected with half a bucket of water to flush after each outing, and the smell in the hut will be very small. For the poor people, the smell still remains, which is almost negligible.

The current living environment of the peasant households is simply the level of princes and nobles, and they can eat their stomachs every day. Mr. Lang also said that in the future, they can eat meat every day, and every family can eat meat every day. What else is a man? What can't you do?
Li Yu looked at the moment when the iron plow was pulled out, and he had such an expression, as expected, the shovel was wide and big, straight up and down, without any arc, just like Yu Chigong who went straight.

Li Yu broke free from the support of the maid beside her, squatted down, scraped the mud off the plowshare, stroked the plowshare carefully, turned her head and asked Zou Shuyi;

"My lady is the chief steward in charge of the cultivation of my farm. Let me ask you, how much land can be plowed by the three of them in half a day with two people leading the oxen and one holding the plow."

Zou Shuyi also wanted to call this little person, and hurriedly came up with something that could be quickly cultivated, although he also knew that it was impossible, after all, it has been cultivated like this for thousands of years?
However, she had even more blind trust in Li Yu, and she was also a veteran of serving the crops for ten years, how could she not know that when she heard Li Yu's question, she didn't even think about answering it directly;

"I want to report to you, Sir, when the two strong cows are fed, the land will be damaged after the rain. Three people and two cows can plow three or four acres of land in half a day.

Look, sir, it rained the day before yesterday, and the wound on the land has not receded, so today we plowed, much easier than in sunny days,
Two strong cows walked one or two hundred steps without being too tired. If it didn't rain and the ground had no wounds, two acres in half a day would be enough. "

Li Yu smiled and said;

"That's right, you're a proficient person, and you basically speak jargon. Check it out with me, and we're two bullies, and we use long single straight shafts.
The plowshare is wide and long, and it is not suitable for breaking the ground. After breaking the ground, the loose soil is piled up in front, which increases the resistance. It must be improved and rebuilt.

If not, not only people will work hard, but also the ox will be exhausted to death, so it should be improved to be pulled by a single ox, so as to improve the progress of farming and save time and effort. Wouldn't it be extremely convenient? "

Zou Shuyi frowned and said;

"My family believes in Mr. Lang's ability, but these two oxen carry the bar, the straight and long shaft, and the broad shovel are all passed down from the ancestors.
It has not been changed for thousands of years, and it is only natural for two oxen to pull the plow, and the plow frame is so wide, how to change the frame for one ox, I really can't figure it out.

Besides, my family is already in their thirties, and I have never heard that a cow can be pulled... I don't know how the gentleman will transform it? "

Li Yu smiled mysteriously;
"Shanren has his own clever plan. Not only do he want to transform the iron plow, but also the frame of the plow. Manager Zou, you should immediately send someone to inform Zhang Laoshi, the leader of the blacksmith in Xiaowangzhuang.

Tell him to go to the blacksmith yard in the mansion immediately for a meeting, remember, tell him to bring his most outstanding nephews, all four of them must go, no one is missing.

Hurry up, your elder sister will naturally take care of the farming matters here, so hurry up and pass it on, so as not to delay a certain family's important affairs. "

"Hey, don't worry, my lord, the villain will go right away, let's go now."

Zou Tonglin excitedly agreed, and before he had time to salute to the crowd, Sa Yazi ran out and disappeared into the crowd.

Li Yu thought, this invention and creation can be changed by one guy. The whole world is difficult to cultivate and plow the land. His Majesty the Emperor should make himself a prince of the opposite sex this time, right?
Li Yu, who squatted for a long time, fantasized about the scene where he would become a prince. At that time, he would also be wearing the pure black prince's robe, with the four-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the chest and back. How majestic would that be?
Thinking of this scene, Li Yu gulped down a few mouthfuls of spit, wanted to stand up, and then made a few passionate words,

But just now he gritted his teeth, and after plowing those one or two hundred steps, his two legs seemed to be a little out of control at the moment, limp and without much strength.

Not only did he fail to stand up, but his legs went limp in the middle of the journey, and he could no longer use his stamina, so he just sat down on his buttocks again, and his buttocks came into contact with the ground hard once.

Panicked, the three maids and the two chief stewards all exclaimed, and hurried up to surround Li Yu, and lifted him up on the spot...
