The two of them surrounded Chitu, and they tossed for a long time, and Chitu stood up tremblingly, running with joy, when he was suddenly strangled by his neck, and he was so angry that he hung over.

Standing up, he quietly moved two steps to Xiao Cheng's side, a little farther away from the big demon king.

Looking at the red rabbit who was a little angry, Li Chengyang had to go up and soothe him, and after promising many little mares, the red rabbit reluctantly let Li Chengyang get on his horse.

But he didn't want to run anymore, at most he trotted, and looked back at Li Chengyang while running, but whenever Li Chengyang's hand hit its neck, it immediately braked, and it didn't dare to move, which made Li Chengyang smile bitterly.

As a last resort, he changed mounts with Xiao Cheng and got on Xiao Cheng's "black charcoal", originally he wanted to call the dark clouds to step on the snow, but later let Lao Cheng listen to it and say that you are also worthy? It was changed to the name black charcoal, and it looks like it is indeed similar to black charcoal, black from the head to the tail.

Chitu originally didn't let people sit on his back, Li Shimin tossed for so long and couldn't successfully tame the horse, but now Xiao Cheng easily did it, looking at Chitu's appearance, how could he still be a little happy?

Everything is back on track, Xiao Cheng is carefully guided next to Li Chengyang, Li Chengyang has also learned a lot with brute strength, the skills are understood, the rest is to practice well, thanks to his brute strength, his legs are tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and he has never fallen off from beginning to end.

Time flies, and when he can control the horse on the horse and start trotting, the Cheng family Zhuangzi arrived, there is no imaginary prosperity, and of course there is no imaginary hardship, it is just ordinary.

Xiao Cheng introduced: "It has not been a few years since I was given a fief here, and my family has not been here for long, and the rent is also used in the previous rent, which is much lower than the previous one, my father said that he plans to put some horses here in, let the farmers help raise them, and the rent is free every year, there is a small horse farm in this place, and we will go there to continue to practice in a while."

Li Chengyang didn't pay attention to what Xiao Cheng said, he was attracted by a few farmers on the side of the road, and saw that one grade old and three grades younger were fiddling with the field in the field.

A man in the Tang Dynasty can get a hundred acres of land, of which 20 acres of Yongye Field, that is, whether dead or alive, these 20 acres of land belong to the family, and later generations in the Tang Dynasty What about seizing people's land and other things, what to seize is the Yongye Field left by this generation, and the rest of the fields belong to the Tang Dynasty, and they dare not lend it to the landlords.

One person has 100 acres, and these four men have 400 acres of land, and at the edge of the field there are boundary posts set by special officials to divide the fields of each family.

Four hundred acres of land, you can't see your head when you look up, you have to rely on these four people to serve you, and at most add a few female dependents, how can they take care of it, he has been curious for a long time.

Dismounted and walked around, looking at the green seedlings all over the ground and didn't know how to start, the old man in the lead found that two nobles had come, and he stepped forward to take a closer look and found that this was the little master of the main family, and hurriedly came out of the ground, took down a pot of ice water from the ice cubes placed next to him, and handed it to Xiao Cheng.

The old man is the Li Zheng of the Cheng family's Zhuangzi, and more than 100 households in the Zhuangzi are under his control, and he has not gone to Cheng's mansion to ask for a rent or something, so he is not very strange to Xiao Cheng.

After chatting with Li Zheng for a while, Li Chengyang also understood how the farmers in Datang were responsible for one hundred acres of land, each person was responsible for twenty acres of Yongye field, and the rest of the places hastily sowed the seeds and no longer cared about it.

The land in Guanzhong is fertile, and there is no need to distinguish between good land and bad land, I heard the old man say that some places are different, and the hard work and hard work may not be able to get a good field, and it is great to be able to pick out about ten acres of good land in a hundred acres.

And they got rid of His Majesty's blessing, not only got the best good land, but also spread out a good family like the Cheng family, the Zhuangzi around Chang'an is mostly the fief of the ministers of various ministries, and the master of the last fief is still from the Sui Dynasty, not a good person, and the people in this Zhuangzi are also made miserable.

Now that there is a good master's family, the life of the farmers is visibly better, and the old man in the emotional department called a few young men in the family to give Xiao Cheng a big gift, and listened to Xiao Cheng's introduction of the other is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who made the ice, this is even more terrible, Li Zheng shouted out as soon as the living Bodhisattva shouted, and shouted that the good prince was going to kneel down to Li Chengyang for a thanksgiving gift.

Naturally, he didn't dare to accept this gift, and hurriedly stopped Lizheng, so that he could persuade people to be normal, and for no reason to receive a gift from the old man, which was to fold his life, the old man saw that the salute could not be completed, and pulled the two back to his house, seeing that the sun was at noon, the old man instructed his family to prepare some wine and food to serve the two of them for lunch, and the nobles had three meals a day, but they could not be delayed.

Li Chengyang was semi-forcibly taken into Lizheng's house, originally he still wanted to work in the field to experience it, he had never been to the ground before, so he naturally wanted to experience what it was like to farm.

Fortunately, they went to the ground, in case he got rid of the dealer as a weed, and it would be a big problem if it spread.

Entering the courtyard gate of Lizheng's house, the first thing I saw was a strange object placed on the side of the main gate, the reason why it was strange was that Li Chengyang had never seen such a strange object, the whole object presented a T-shape, a small leg thick beam was horizontal on the top, and a wooden stick about the same thickness stretched out from the middle of the beam and staggered straight to the ground, and there was a piece of iron sheet on the side near the ground.

No matter how you look at it, I don't know what this is for, so I secretly asked Xiao Cheng and got a shocking answer.

"This thing is a plow? How is this the case? Li Chengyang cried out in surprise, this is the legendary straight plow? It's just that two sticks are simply spliced together, how can you plow the ground? No wonder it is said that the appearance of the Quyuan plough means a major change in farming, as far as the plow in front of him is concerned, Li Chengyang thinks that he can use a shovel to turn the ground faster than this thing.

Li Zheng heard Li Chengyang's exclamation, and turned around and explained proudly: "Yes, this is the plough stick we use, or did our Cheng Fu specially send it over, one by one, all of them are the best wood, and they are a lot faster to work, and there is no one in these ten miles and eight towns who is not envious."

Yes, it looks like it's still one in a million, I don't know what kind of stuff people usually use to be helpless? There is a plough stick that the government rents to farmers, I have seen it in the fold before, it is estimated that it is similar to the plow stick in front of me, and the whole Tang Dynasty is using this kind of plow, no wonder the annual output cannot go up.

After looking at the plow, Li Zheng found that Li Chengyang was quite interesting to some farm work, and took the two of them to the cowshed next to them, which were also bought by the Cheng family and put in the village, so that the farmers could use it, and the number was almost twenty or thirty, and each cow was accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old child who tickled the cow, and from time to time pulled some grass and stuffed it into the cow's mouth, and then watched the cow ruminate, and the mouth moved together.

Cattle are much more expensive than people in Datang, and the cleaned cowsheds look cleaner than where people live, and they are served like uncles, and they are fat and strong.

Li Zheng looked at the cows with satisfaction that the skins were shiny, looked down and saw that the trough where the cows drank water was empty, and shouted that the person in charge of this matter came over and wanted to find someone to settle the account.

"Grandpa Lizheng, my brother said that there was no water in the well, he went to the well in the distance to pick it up, and he went for a long time, and now he should be back soon," a child said the reason.

Now that the weather is surprisingly hot and there has been no rain recently, people's water consumption has been high, and it is normal for this high well to have no water.

Li Zheng nodded when he heard this, when he built the cowshed, he was afraid that the terrain was too low, in case there was something inconvenient, he deliberately built the cowshed at a high place, in order to facilitate the whole village to make efforts to hit this well, the water came out, but he often encountered no water, he didn't take it seriously.

Li Chengyang is not so easy, from the well he thought of the drought, and thought of Li Shimin's unlucky Zhenguan twenty-three years, these twenty-three years, the Tang Dynasty has hardly encountered any peaceful years, floods and droughts are frequent, locust plagues and earthquakes will occasionally rage, the history books say that Li Shimin was punished by God, but he definitely didn't believe it, at most Li Shimin was unlucky to encounter such a year.

Even under such circumstances, Li Shimin can still develop Datang into a thriving appearance, if there are no these disasters, I am afraid that he will not leave the family to Miss Wu Zetian to solve it.

After a hasty meal at Lizheng's house, and a cool place to take a nap, Li Chengyang thought about it under the tree.

If you have the opportunity to make the quyuan plow, it is now long past the spring ploughing season, and it is still early for the purebred next year, so you don't have to be too anxious, but you must do it, not to mention how high the speed of the quyuan plough is, that is, it can be calculated by using one less ox than the straight plow, which can also increase the speed of ploughing at least double, and the impact on grain production is not a joke.

Of course, it is impossible to double, at most, farmers expand from 20 acres of intensive cultivation to 40 acres of land a year, and the output may also increase by about 30%, which has a great impact on Datang.

As for the waterwheel, it is also to be done, and it is necessary to make it first, this thing is too big, the structure is also quite complicated, I don't know how much energy it takes to popularize it, but the Quyuan plough is small, and a carpenter can do it, don't be too anxious, go back and prepare to draw the waterwheel pattern, if you can popularize the waterwheel, it will have a qualitative impact on Datang.

With things in his head, the practice of horseback riding is naturally no longer so serious, and now he can't figure out why he took the initiative to think about doing these things, obviously coming out for fun, but turned around and returned to the same place, maybe because of the eldest grandson's meticulous care? Or is it Li Shimin's undisguised protection? Or is it simply watching the old farmer still busy in the field in the scorching summer?

Now he can't say why, but a I want to do it suddenly pops up in his mind, then he does it, many times without considering the consequences, the report is like this, the new algorithm is also like this, he feels that it is not so much to contribute to Datang, but to say that he wants to make the current living environment closer to the modern, for these, he is willing to give up the life of the dead house.
