Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 515;

Chapter 510: The farming event officially started

Li Yu looked at everyone present seriously;

"The escape of the seven of them was originally not a big deal, but the damage done to me, Li's second wife, was very serious.

We can't ask people all over the world to give pointers because of this matter. If we deal with it too much, God knows what it will be like to be rumored like crazy?
Just imagine, Li's second wife is now well-known across the country, and there are not a few people who are jealous. If we catch the handle, we will definitely add fuel to it. "

Ma Nineteen gritted his teeth and was very unconvinced, and asked with his neck stuck;

"The patriarch, is this cheap for them?"

Li Yu sneered;
"Hmph! Cheap?"

"I'm afraid it's not too cheap. There has been no heavy snow since last winter, and there has been no rain this spring, and there has been no strong wind for two or three months throughout the spring. As the saying goes, there is no rain and no strong wind this spring. On the contrary, every day is sunny, and there are signs that the disaster year is coming again.

For example, the last time we went out to buy millet, the price increased a little. This is the third price increase this year, and the court cannot stop it.

Nowadays, anyone who is not a fool knows that the famine cannot be avoided, so it is not an easy task to beg for food all the way home without money, and it will take a lot of suffering. Let God punish them for breaking the contract. As for whether they can return to their hometown smoothly , How many full meals can you eat on the road?Whether one or two family members will starve to death is beyond our control, and it has nothing to do with our Li family.

From this incident, we can also draw a conclusion that there is a price for doing everything. They violated the contract and fled overnight.

So this incident also sounded the alarm for all of us Li clan members, don't be careless, we must use this incident to sum up experience and lessons and be vigilant, do what should be done, and don't touch what should not be done, otherwise When the family's laws governed the upper body, it was too late to cry.

Okay, I won't talk about them anymore. Today I saw these plowed fields, and they are much better than I imagined.

Originally, after plowing the land, before the season of planting rice seedlings, there should be a period of time in between. One is to allow the land to be exposed to the real fire of the sun, and the other is to allow the farmers to have a free time to rest. The steward did not stop, and organized the farmers to fertilize, loosen, and turn over all of Li's land many times. This must be rewarded, and the credit of the steward Zou must not be erased. "

Zou Shuyi explained very seriously;

"I want to report to you, I don't know whether it is correct or not, and whether the old-fashioned method of fertilization is in line with the new planting methods of my husband. I just feel that idleness is idleness, and it is better to do something, so I am at ease."

Li Yu shook his head;

"Don't talk about new planting methods. In fact, regardless of the new or old methods, as long as the land is planted, it needs to be fertilized, loosened, and turned over.

As the saying goes, crops are all dependent on fertilizer. This is the experience of our ancestors who have been experimenting for thousands of years. Let’s say that this time our land has been fertilized many times, and the soil has been turned up and down a few times. After the seedlings are planted in the future, the growth of the seedlings The roots are full of nutrients. As long as there is no shortage of water, the seedlings will be full of fish and meat every day. One can imagine what it will be like when it is time to harvest?

Today's hard work and sweat will not be wasted in vain. If you work hard, you will gain. If you work less today, your harvest will be less than others in the future. If you work harder today, you will reap more. There is no such thing in the world. Free lunch and lunch, it is impossible to get something for nothing!
We members of the Li family will learn from Manager Zou in the future, take the errands seriously, treat them as our own affairs, take every step steadily, and don't fool the errands as errands, do you hear? "

"It's the head of the family. We will learn from Zou Daguan."

"It's the patriarch."

"It's Mr. Lang."

Seeing that everyone present agreed, Li Yu turned around with his hands behind his back and watched the sturdy and tall new water wheel in the river slowly turning. Because there was no pumping bamboo bucket installed, no water was brought up. ,

In the center of the large waterwheel, there is also a neutral position for two people to stand side by side. This is a human-assisted system. This was proposed by Li Yu, imitating the idea of ​​​​the design of the power-assisted system of later generations.

Install a set of gear conversion system (equivalent to the engine) in the middle of the large waterwheel, connect the additional gears on the waterwheel, and the artificial booster system will be generated naturally.
It can be pulled by animals, or two people can use manpower inside. Compared with the old waterwheels that have been used for hundreds of thousands of years, I don’t know how many times advanced. Although this set of pumping systems is in later generations, the original scaring , but in this Datang world, it is the most powerful existence and the most technological existence.

Li Yu looked at the new waterwheel that he participated in designing, and turned his head to tell Ma Jiujiu in a good mood;

"Nineteen, today you arrange for someone to report to the elders of Gongshu, that you will flood the land tomorrow, and ask Gongshu to send someone over to preside over the affairs tomorrow, and install the small bamboo buckets for these water trucks to pump water, by the way. Install the human assistance system, and we will start to take care of the big things in farming tomorrow."

"Wei! Patriarch, don't worry, the villain will arrange it now."

"Liu Da, you go to the public loser's side, and explain what the patriarch explained clearly, and go now."

"Yes! Brother."

Zou Shuyi was very happy to finally start farming. She had wanted to do something serious for a long time, lest those gossips and gossips would spread everywhere, which would really piss her off.

Li Yu turned around and looked at Zou Shuyi who was extremely excited, and said with a smile;

"I know you have always wanted to make achievements in major farming affairs, but you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't worry, take your time and do the same thing, there will always be a day when you make achievements, and you will be dazzling at that time. Move the world, spread the sound in the four seas."

Thinking of the private discussions among the householders, it was all saying that she got the position of chief steward by seducing the ignorant patriarch with her beauty, but ended up occupying the latrine and doing nothing. Not a name,

It's nothing more than going out to collect chicks. Some people even secretly nicknamed Zou Shuyi as Chicken Lady...

Zou Shuyi is looking forward to making a name for the major farming affairs she is in charge of day and night, so as to rectify her name and prove that she is not an idiot and that she has real skills!

But the patriarch is always busy with this and that, and there is no free time. Today, he finally came to the ridge for a walk. Finally, he was about to officially start farming. Thinking of the nickname of the chicken lady, Zou Shuyi forced herself to endure the tears of grievance , not wanting others to see her weak and incompetent, responded in a low voice;

"To the patriarch, I didn't think too much about it, I just wanted to make a name for the people of the clan to see, I, Zou Shuyi, am not a coward, and I am not fooling around with the high-priced monthly bills of the clan all day long.

In the past, I always went out to buy chickens, and later I went out to buy wild boars and domestic pigs. They were all bad things that no one said, and they were notorious. Things, hurry up and make an ugly Yinmao..."

Before Zou Shuyi finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Li Yu, who said seriously;
"What happened to the chick? What happened to the wild boar? No one should underestimate these things. Do you really think that I arranged these things just for food?

If you think about it carefully, which of my things is aimless?Which thing did not bring benefits to the tribe?
Now our five Zhuangzi are full of big chickens, and we don’t ask everyone to kill and eat meat, so some clansmen think it’s useless to raise chickens, right?

This is when it is not in use, and when it is time to use it, you will naturally know the power of raising chickens, and those wild boars and domestic pigs are inconspicuous now, but this is because there are too few, and they will increase to a certain extent in the future Well, if the whole world's pork is supplied by Li's Second Household... Who would have thought of this situation? "

When Li Yu said this, everyone present gasped, the pork that everyone in the world eats is bought and sold by one family, is that okay?
Li Yu walked up to Zou Shuyi and stood still;
"So don't underestimate the matter of collecting chickens and piglets. It will come in handy in the future. If you don't talk about those, let's talk about farming. According to the guess of our patriarch, if we cultivate our fields well, we will use them in the future." There is no need to go out to buy rice, and this alone can save a lot of money.
And there is still some left over, you will have more things to do in the future as the chief agricultural manager. In just a few days, I will invite the chief real estate manager to come to the mansion to discuss the important matter of buying some more land and returning it.

After all, people have depended on food for thousands of years. We can't use all the grain and millet to make wine. We also have to eat and drink Lazard. Besides, there are still many tribesmen who are idle, so I want to get some more land and fields for the tribe to cultivate. Corn, and other crops.

The burden on you, lady, will become heavier and heavier, but you have to be mentally prepared, I am afraid that farming alone will exhaust you to death!

But I won’t just watch you guys collapse from exhaustion, so I’ll officially tell you something today, except for the 21 surnames of our Li family, except for the public losers and the Lin family of the imperial guards, who can’t recruit talents, the other [-] surnames are up to you select talents,
First of all, you have to add the number of second stewards. In my opinion, lady, you need more second stewards to work. Otherwise, you will be tired sooner or later just by relying on your current team. Can do a good job. "

Zou Shuyi and the several farming stewards next to her kept nodding their heads. They had a deep understanding. These stewards were responsible for all the farming of the fields. With only this little manpower for the land of more than ten miles up and down the river, each of them was skinny. weighed more than a dozen catties...

Zou Shuyi kept nodding her head with emotion;
"Yes, sir, I also want to take a chance to report this matter to you. It's not that we are lazy and don't want to contribute. It's just that there are too few people in charge of things, and there are not many errands. We are always too busy to eat. My feet don't touch the ground, and I was about to ask the patriarch if he could add some second stewards and stewards who run errands, now that it's all right, sir, you've thought of it first, that's great."

Li Yu saw that several farming managers, both male and female, including sister Zou Shuyi, had lost a lot of weight, and asked distressedly;
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Can you not be tired if you are busy with many things? You are a bunch of fools, don't you know that you love your own body?"

Zou Shujuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and interjected;
"I want to report to you, sir, we are in charge of farming, and we haven't made any achievements yet. Several Zhuangzi have already spread some rumors because of this... It is not necessary to find someone to come to the mansion to ask for monthly regulations. Feel free to say it."

Lu Bin, who had been promoted to the second manager of farming for his meritorious service in catching thieves, and Zou Shuyi's good sister Zhou Wangshi, saw that Zou Shujuan had spoken and followed suit, and Lu Bin spoke first;
"Patriarch, there is a lot of cultivated land in Lantian in our clan. Except for the cousin who is the chief steward, there are only four of us who are the second stewards. If anything comes up, we will be too panicked to eat Ansheng.
I have already told my eldest cousin two or three times, saying that we should report to the patriarch to know, and then arrange a few second stewards to come up, but my cousin just keeps silent, and we are helpless, alas! "

Zhou Wang patted Lu Bin to signal him not to talk nonsense, but Lu Bin said stubbornly;
"Why are you beating me? I didn't talk nonsense either. Cousin Zou Tonglin and I are both men, and we wouldn't even say a word if we were exhausted. Just resist!

But seeing how many of you women have lost more than a dozen catties in two months, I feel uncomfortable. "

Zhou Wang looked at Lu Bin complaining;

"Just say a few words, there are rumors outside that we only eat and don't work in farming, and we just rely on a few women... After this is the case, do you dare to ask the patriarch to increase the management?

Isn’t it going to spread like crazy, so what’s the point of suffering and being tired? You see, after losing weight for two laps, my whole body is much more relaxed, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Just treat it as a physical exercise All right. "

Lu Bin justified indifferently;

"Both of them have long fleshy bodies. Who doesn't know how tired they are? Seeing that my two cousins ​​have lost a lot of weight, Miss Zhou, you also have a backache for half a month..."

Zou Shuyi is a person who suffers from hardships. In the past, when people were fleeing from starvation, I don’t know how many times more uncomfortable than this. Now they are all in charge. There is no shortage of food and drink, and there are monthly bills to take. It's such a good day that you can't even think about it, but you still have to talk about this little suffering?

Seeing that her cousin was still complaining, Zou Shuyi couldn't help losing her temper. You complained a few words and it's not over yet. Are you still?
"Shut up! Isn't it just to do more work? Tired of you? What are you doing to show off in front of the patriarch? If you are afraid of suffering, you can resign from the manager's job and go home to enjoy the blessings. Sitting at home and doing nothing to guarantee you Can breathe evenly, let's see if my aunt doesn't break your legs, and then tear up your stinky mouth!"

Lu Bin was reprimanded by his eldest cousin, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak up again, but he couldn't help muttering;

"Sister, what are you teaching me? I'm not a person who is afraid of suffering. I'm not afraid of being tired. It's just that we are really short of manpower. Why do you always care about other people's ideas..."

Although Lu Bin's voice was very low, Zou Shuyi still heard it, it was like poking Zou Shuyi's sore spot in her heart again, and Zou Shuyi immediately became unhappy;

"Shut up, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak, if you say one more sentence, I will beat you."

Lu Bin responded dejectedly;

"It's the eldest sister! I don't want to say anything."

Zou Shuyi's younger sister over there saw that her elder sister was really angry, so she quickly dragged her cousin over and covered Lu Bin's mouth;

"Are you crazy and dare to talk to big sister?"

Lu Bin explained helplessly;

"Sister, I'm really wronged. I didn't dare to talk to my eldest sister. This is really... oh..."

"Okay, okay, sister protects you, don't talk anymore, or the elder sister will really come and beat you."

"Oh! Got it, sister."

Li Yu is a very measured person, when any patriarch of one surname handles the family affairs of another surname, Li Yu never interrupts or intervenes.

Including when the major managers were in charge of his subordinates, Li Yu would not say anything more, and waited until Zou Shuyi's side became quiet before Li Yu spoke;
"Miss, I know exactly what you care about in your heart. Don't care about those gossips. The more you care about the more tired you are, so just treat it as someone else's fart."

Zou Shuyi lowered her head and whispered;

"But Lord, the one who drowned people by spitting stars."

"It's true that spitting stars can drown people, but those who drown are just those who are not strong enough, and those who don't have enough status. If you have a strong mental capacity, you'll be fine. You can do it yourself! As for what others say, that's fine. It's their business that has nothing to do with me.

You say yours, I leave mine, as long as I live happily, no one will give him a big reward for the two mouthfuls of froth that others say, and no one will add fuel to it as time goes by, and when it is made in the future, rumors will not come true This is the truth that breaks and ends with the wise.

Besides, it’s nothing more than those few sentences. In my opinion, a black cat and a white cat are good cats if they catch mice. Not to mention the fact that there is no shadow, even if they have that, they have their own abilities. If they have the ability, they will come to seduce me. try?

Is it really easy to fool me when I am young?Anyway, I can tell the difference clearly, not to mention anyone can come to seduce me, it depends on each person's ability to do errands, and also depends on whether the individual's intentions are upright. to fool me?
Impossible thing, no matter how good-looking you are, it’s useless. Besides, I don’t need people. Do you want something good-looking?What does it look like?What age is it?
There are tens of thousands of people in our clan, whose woman I want can't be obtained?So, lady, you have to think about it, this is a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, no matter how outsiders persuade you, it is useless.
You have to figure it out yourself, next time you hear any gossip, you can go directly to her house and tell her that you seduced the patriarch with your beauty to see what she can do?What's the matter!Is it in their way?If you have the ability to ask them to try to seduce them, it's great to be a big manager! "

Zou Shuyi was so ashamed that Li Yu mentioned this publicly, she was so ashamed that she blushed like a monkey's butt, Li Yu smiled wickedly, and stood in front of Zou Shuyi face to face;
"Ma'am, don't you think so?"

Zou Shuyi agreed in a low voice like a fly buzzing, not daring to raise her head.

"Ah."

Li Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, this Tang Dynasty is simply a man's paradise, especially powerful men, who can do whatever they want, and because of the feudal system, it's only natural, but fortunately, he didn't wear any clothes. To the poor houses of the common people;

"Hahaha... Don't be afraid, lady, I will support you behind everything..."
