Shao Yong looked at Lu Zifei and rolled up his sleeves and said: "What, seeing that you really want to farm in this posture, why don't you go and read the book carefully if you have this time, and then you can farm?" I remember you said to me, professional things are left to professional people to do, you have never planted land in Shaanxi, pretend to be here. ”

Lu Zifei said in the face of the master's cynicism: "Master, who said that I can't farm, I can tell you that if I farm, I will be the best person in the world to farm, believe it or not." ”

Shao Yong said: "I believe you are a big ghost, just this little land, planting crops is not enough for you people to eat?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Master, it's not right for you to look down on people like this, uncle, come here." ”

The old man stood in front of Lu Zifei and Shao Yong and didn't dare to raise his head, Lu Zifei smiled and said: "Don't worry, old man, it's very simple for you to become a tenant of my family, there are almost thirty acres of land around Zhuangzi, I will give five acres to your family, you decide what to plant on these five acres of land, the harvest is also yours, I don't collect a rent, the condition is that you want to help me plant the rest of the land, when the farm is busy, we will let the short-term workers help when the farm is busy, we will let the short-term workers help, do you have any opinions?" ”

The old man said excitedly: "Thank you to Childe, Childe is a good person, our family is a native farmer, we don't need to find someone else for this little land, we can plant it ourselves, Childe is now ready to plough the land or?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "I'm going to plant some vegetables now, will you plant them?" ”

The old man almost pulled Lu Zifei's hand, but when he found out that he was uncomfortable, he withdrew it in time, and hurriedly said, "Son, no!" Now it's November, how can you plant, the winter is so cold, you can't sprout anything. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't move your five acres of land, if you want to get rich, you can follow me to plant, if you don't want to, then stay until the beginning of spring next year, you come over first to see my secret weapon, Brother Bi, take it out, let my master see if I'm messing around." ”

When Bi Sheng heard this, he put the two sets of ploughs beaten by the blacksmith in front of Shao Yong and the old farmer, this set of plows was pure iron, and the old man saw it and said, "Son, is this a plow?" There is a difference with the previous plough, the ploughshare and the plough crown have changed, especially the ploughshare, so that the soil is turned to one side, unlike the two sides of the past to turn, the advantage is that one person can grasp it, people must not be able to pull, need livestock to pull. ”

Lu Zifei said happily: "Good eyesight, it's basically the same, the biggest advantage of this plough is that it is fast, how much land can you plough in a day before, I'm talking about if there are livestock to help." ”

Lao Zhang said: "If you have livestock to help, it will be five acres of land at most, and no more will work." ”

Lu Zifei said: "This plow of mine can plough at least ten acres of land a day, and two oxen may be more, don't believe it, try this way, if it is successful, I can let more people in the world eat their stomachs." The last sentence was to his master.

Shao Yong clearly felt that the disciple was not playing, nor was he joking, he was doing it seriously, really as he said, it was completely possible, you said that you can print books, you can change the fate of people who want to read in the world, you can break sentences to the article, all the readers are grateful to you, in Shao Yong's opinion, it is indeed amazing, but if you can make the people eat and say a big disrespectful word, you replace the Zhao family, and the people will support you as the emperor, why do the people work so hard, isn't it just for a full meal? If you can feed them, then you are their heaven.

"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and get started."

Lu Zifei didn't expect the teacher to be more anxious than him, and said to his father-in-law: "You drive first, I'll let your family go eat something first, and you can eat after we try it, okay?" ”

The old man said, "I'm fine, just let the children go eat first." ”

Lu Zifei said to Banxia: "You go first and give them something to eat, and see if there are any clothes to prepare for a few children." ”

The old man said, "Childe, are you using these livestock?" Lu Zifei nodded yes.

The old man looked at a few cows and horses and said bitterly: "They are all good livestock!" It's just that you don't raise it well, you can feed a large family if you raise it well, what a pity, you look at what the hair has done, you have to add some dry materials to them, so that it will be wasted. ”

Lu Zifei and Shao Yong were anxious, the old man was good, touched the cow, patted the horse, and kept screaming to a few beasts in his mouth, Lu Zifei said anxiously: "Uncle, can you stop looking there, there are so many things at home, you will take care of them in the future, now drive the plow first, let's see how the effect is, I won't say anything when you sleep with them." ”

Only then did the old man realize that he still had something to do, so he put the plow on a cow with a familiar car, turned around and asked Lu Zifei: "Childe, then I'll try it first?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Well, let's start quickly?" When you're done, you'll have to try the efficiency of two cows together. ”

The old man held the whip in his hand like a great general, the commander was thousands of troops, the ox followed the whip and movement in the old man's hand, adjusted the direction, and started, the plow behind did not bring much burden to the ox, and the usual speed was almost moving forward, after a few back and forth, Lu Zifei stopped and asked: "How does the old man feel?" ”

The old man said: "The plough is deeper than the previous plow, the width is a little more, the angle feels a little problematic, and then slowly adjust, this plough is completely possible as the son said, or even more, the depth of the plough is good." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Uncle, you try to put two more cows, I want to know if it will be faster." ”

The old man said: "It will definitely be faster, I don't know how fast it is, I'll drive first." ”

"Dad, let me come, you can rest first." The old man's son ate a few cakes, this is the best cake he has ever eaten when he is so big, the whole body is white, who is so extravagant that he uses white flour pancakes, maybe this time with the right owner, he turned his head to Lu Zifei and said: "Son, let me come, my father's waist is not good, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold the plow with two cows, I have been learning from my father since I was a child, no problem." ”

Lu Zifei said: "It's okay, just come here, rest more after you are not in good health, and I haven't asked you what to call your father?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "My name is Xu Da, my father's name is Lao Xu, I started." Lu Zifei thought, I don't know what General Xu Da will be like when he sees you.

The other cow led over, drove side by side, and the two cows moved at the same time, and when they arrived at the ground, Lu Zifei and the people on the side saw what Chinese speed is, fortunately, they didn't let Lao Xu Shang, the two cows walked like flying in the ground, Xu Da had to hurry up to keep up, and Lao Xu estimated that the two cows would pull the two cows in the ground and turn in circles.

Ploughed about an acre of land, Xu Da stopped, less than two pillars of incense, looking at his masterpiece behind him, Xu Da couldn't believe it, after so many years of farming, the first time he saw it so fast, the horse on the head might be faster, the ploughed ground was a little uneven, the plough pole was also a little long, and it was more troublesome to turn around.

Lu Zifei said: "What does Brother Xu think? ”

Xu Da said: "It's similar to what my father said, some things may have to be changed, Gongzi's plow is really amazing, this plow is best pulled by livestock, people can't pull it at all, the ground is very deep, people can't pull it, and many people don't have ploughing cattle." ”

Lu Zifei thinks that this is indeed the case, it is still caused by the lack of ploughing cattle, and the productivity determines the progress of society, all of which makes sense, but with the plough and the direction, the rest is to get enough ploughing cattle. There are pros and cons to everything, and good things can't be taken up by you alone.

Lu Zifei arranged for them to eat, and when he went to the house with the teacher, he said, "Master now knows that I'm not bragging, with this thing, do you think we will be short of food to eat?" That's enough land to feed our family. ”

Shao Yong's eyes were complicated and said, "Hanzhang, have you thought about the back of this matter?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "What else can be behind this? We grow our own land, and who can take care of it. ”

Shao Yong said: "Have you thought about it, if this plough spreads out from you, the people of the world will be grateful to you, remember you, what does the person sitting on the dragon chair think, he is a good emperor, but he can reversely threaten his throne Do you see if he is still a good emperor, when the Empress Dowager Liu died, she wanted to wear a crown dress to worship the sky, but that person didn't let him get his wish, think about it yourself." ”

Lu Zifei broke out in a cold sweat on his back, it was taboo to buy the hearts of the people, he was really carried away, and it was not up to him to do it! It's so hard to grow a field, let alone something else you want to do.

Lu Zifei bent down and bowed to Shao Yong and said, "Please teach me, teacher"

Shao Yong said: "It's good if you want to understand, you can offer it, you can hand it over to the government, you can figure out how to do it." ”

Lu Zifei was thinking about it, Bi Sheng came in and said that someone was looking for him, or a friend from the capital, who else would be a friend from the capital besides Li Lin, someone would come to send a pillow if he was really sleepy, Lu Zifei said to Shao Yong: "Master, the right person is here, I'll go out to greet you." ”

When I got to the gate, I saw Li Lin's billet and a young man standing there, Li Lin was still flirting for half a summer, Lu Zifei was angry, and said to Li Lin: "What are you doing at my house again, my family is relatively poor now, and I can't afford to support you." ”

The young man next to him looked at Lu Zifei and said this, looked at Li Lin in confusion, Li Lin ignored him, came to Lu Zifei's side with an arrow step, hugged his leg and cried, "I want to kill you, Xiucai, I haven't eaten a good meal in order to help you sell wine in Bianjing, you see what I've lost now, you have to compensate me." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Did I let you go, you went by yourself, not to mention that there are also your shares there." ”

Li Lin cried and said with a sad face: "Xiucai, it's still not a brother, I miss you so much, you actually treat me like this." ”

", my sexuality is normal."
