On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced
Chapter 163: Strength lies in numbers!
(Thanks to Gusu Huazhang for voting for 1 monthly ticket.)
After hearing what Li Shiyue said, Ma San didn't hesitate to pat his chest and said to Li Shiyue: "I thought it was a big deal.
Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it!"
When you ask someone to do something for you, you can't just say it without any reason. You have to have the attitude of asking for help, and you have to give people certain benefits so that they are willing to help you from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Shiyue immediately found a pen and paper and copied out a planting guide that he had bought with points from the system.
"This method, the plow and the curved plow are all in the same book. If we hadn't encountered refugees on the way, we wouldn't have been able to leave so many things on the road in order to escape. This book is in that pile of books.
It was also obtained by my mother when she saved a person on the roadside in her early years.
However, although I can't find the booklet, I have written down all of this. If the general doesn't mind, he can try to use the old tricks. It should be able to increase production."
Ma San never thought that Li Shiyue would take out such a thing during this conversation. He looked at what Li Shiyue had written directly in front of him, and his heart was touched. He raised his head and looked at Li Shiyue who was saying this: "Shiyue, it seems that you have to go back to the garrison with me to meet the general.
This thing you gave me is so good that I can't make up my mind.
You should talk to the general in person."
Li Shiyue is never a person who drags his feet, he leaves as soon as he says he will.
After saying a few words to Li's mother, she led the horse out of the stable and followed Ma San out of Liujiatun and went to the village office.
By the time Li Shiyue brought back the household registration sticker that had been divided into a separate household with Li's mother and Shitou, which was not associated with the Li clan, Li Shiyang had just received the letter written to him by Li Youfu.
Li Shiyang looked at the time written on the letter and calculated the date. He just shouted "Oh no!"
"It's too late! It's too late!"
Li Shiyang stood up with the letter in his hand. When he walked to the door and was about to open it, he stopped again.
"What's the point of me going back now?
The relationship has become so strained. If I go back to negotiate reconciliation, how could October listen to me?
She is not someone who will just listen to what others say!"
He walked back and put down the letter from Li Youfu. Li Shiyang spread paper, ground ink and picked up a pen to write a letter. When the ink dried, he folded the letter paper and put it in an envelope. Then he went out and looked for the messenger in the county town who specialized in delivering letters and messages. He paid the money and got a note, and then he went back.
"I just hope Grandpa won't be so stubborn. How can someone like October bow his head? Alas."
In Liujiatun, every household is busy with spring ploughing.
Li Shiyue gathered her people directly. "Our three families all have large livestock." She looked at Gou Lao San and Li Wangshui who were sitting around, "and I have three new farm tools that I asked someone to make. I thought, let's get together and work together!"
Li Shiyue took out the table he had written in advance, which listed the labor force population and acreage of land of each family, as well as livestock and farm tools, etc.
"There is strength in numbers. As long as the work is distributed reasonably and everyone performs their duties, we can finish all the land of each family in the shortest time possible!" Li Shiyue specifically pointed out Erdan's mother: "You are the only laborer in my family. Even if you treat yourself like an animal, it will still be difficult to deal with.
Everyone will help you plant the land, and you can also take care of it on your own later if you are more diligent.
When it’s time for autumn harvest in the future, we can all work together.
When you are farming, everyone helps you, and you are taking advantage of them to some extent.
To be fair, I suggest that I give some of the vegetables I grow to each family according to the crop, to make up for the difference between you and everyone else, what do you think?"
Erdan's mother stood up and saluted Li Shiyue and everyone else, taking Erdan with her. When she raised her head, her eyes were a little moist.
She knew that Li Shiyue said this simply because she was afraid that everyone would think she was a widow and that they would not want to help her.
She was also afraid that everyone would be unhappy because Li Shiyue's words helped her, so she asked her to grow vegetables to make up for the difference. This was thoughtful consideration of all aspects, and it was really considerate of her.
"I'm not good at saying nice things, thank you October and everyone!
Don't worry, from now on, you can eat as much of the vegetables I grow as you want!"
Once everything was arranged, everyone got to work.
Spring ploughing is a race against the weather. This year's preparations are not sufficient. Li Shiyue thinks that he has to ferment the fertilizer in advance next year and then apply it to the fields, which can increase the yield by at least 50% to 10%.
On the first day, Li Youfu and his friends saw that Li Wangshui and other big brothers did not care about their own land, but went to work on Li Shiyue's land. They thought that Li Wangshui and his friends did this on purpose to please Li Shiyue.
But by the next day, by mid-morning, Li Shiyue's land had been almost finished, and in the early afternoon everyone headed for Zheng Mei's land.
In fact, because Zheng Mei's family consists of only women, the number of acres of land they own is not as much as Li Shiyue's family. And the three of them, mother and daughter, are capable, and with large livestock, powerful plows and curved plows to use, they have already finished working on the Zheng family's land by dark!
On the third day, everyone, including Li Shiyue himself, took their tools and went to Li Wangshui's field. Li Youfu and the others then realized what was going on. They realized that Li Shiyue and the others were planning to work together quickly and arrange the work for each family in order.
After three days of getting used to the skills of using the harrow and the curved plow, it took only four and a half days to finish working on the fields of Mazi, Mole, Yangzai and others.
At this time, Li Shiyue suggested: "Mr. Liu said it would take three to five days for the rain to come. I thought why don't we take advantage of these few days and get together to open up a few more acres of land over there?
Anyway, we don’t have to pay taxes for the first three years, so it’s good to get some food. It’s also a good thing to have more food.”
Therefore, Li Shiyue drove the cart and sent Li Wangming back to the provincial school in the city with Shitou to study. Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang took Li Wangshui and others to the wasteland. Before the rain, they reclaimed nearly ten acres of land!
Who would have thought that the curved plow is so easy to use and saves effort!
Moreover, these mules and donkeys are really good helpers in farming!
It was raining, and it only took a short while for the earthy smell of actinomycetes to turn into a downpour.
Li Shiyue and Shitou returned to Liujiatun amid the crackling sound of heavy rain. They were naked and soaked through. As soon as they drove to the village entrance, they saw Li Qiutian pacing back and forth at the entrance holding an oil-paper umbrella.
This oil-paper umbrella was a gift from Liu Tan's wife. For a family like theirs, no one has ever thought of adding an umbrella to their home.
Li Qiutian gave the umbrella to Li Shiyue and asked her to hold it for herself and Shitou, but she hurried back in the rain. They had to ask Li's mother to get out the medicine bag and boil a bowl of medicine for the two of them to drink, so that they would not catch a cold.
Li Shiyue and Shitou drove the cart back home. Even in the heavy rain, they could hear the barking of dogs. Li Youfu, lying on the kang, sucked on his pipe. He listened to the noise outside and lowered his head to read the letter that Li Shiyang had asked someone to bring back to him. He felt mixed emotions. (End of this chapter)
