Chapter 57: The Season of Spring Sowing (Ask for Recommendation Tickets and Collect)
On the morning of the second day after arriving in Chengdu, Zhang Yuan went to go through the formalities with Li Jian, and then when he returned home, he saw the second gift he said.
"Brother Li really has a heart."
Li Jian is also very satisfied with the two gifts he gave, the gifts don't care about the price, the most important thing is to see if the host's family needs it.
"It's just a plaque, it doesn't cost a few dollars, I just see Zhang Yuan, you haven't paid attention to this thing since you were in Linqiong, so it's just a matter of doing it."
Chengdu City is not as good as Linqiong, this is the county town, and there are more nobles and nobles coming and going, and these superficial efforts must be in place. ”
Zhang Yuan looked at the plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion with the word Zhang Fu written on it, and felt a sense of gratitude to Li Jiansheng in his heart, Li Jian said well, even if he didn't move around with other people, he had to do the surface work in place.
"Thank you, Brother Li, my little brother knows."
This thank you, Zhang Yuan said sincerely.
"Zhang Yuan said that the thirty acres of land, I also contacted you, the price of three gold cakes.
If you don't have any opinions, I'll let someone bring your Ah Huang later, right?
If you want to grow some grain, take advantage of the spring ploughing now, and quickly recruit a few tenant farmers to get busy. ”
Li Jian thought about everything, Zhang Yuan was still very embarrassed, he just wanted to end these things quickly, and the burden on his heart was smaller.
"Okay, Brother Li, I can naturally be trusted, let Ah Huang handle it now."
Because he wanted to put the thirty acres of land in Ah Huang's name, Zhang Yuan also returned his good documents to him by the way, otherwise he would not have been able to apply for household registration.
Li Jian stayed in Chengdu for another two days, taking Zhang Yuan everywhere to eat, drink and enjoy himself as a landlord, although Zhang Yuan was anxious to get the Quyuan plough out of it, but he was also embarrassed to refuse Li Jian's kindness.
It wasn't until Li Jian was sent away from Chengdu that Zhang Yuan relaxed, to be honest, he really didn't adapt to this kind of life.
Or stay at home, eat, sleep, sleep and eat, the life of eating is more suitable for him Zhang Yuan.
The biggest difference between the curved plough and the long plough is that one plow is curved and the other is straight, and then there is an additional plough disc that can rotate freely.
Only the plough shovel and the plow wall were iron, Zhang Yuan asked Xiong Daxiong Er to find a blacksmith shop and buy two pieces of wrought iron.
Then the embodied Quyuan plough pattern was handed over to the carpenter Uncle Zhao, and the entire wooden structure was handed over to him.
Three days later, Zhang Yuan saw the finished product.
The Quyuan plow is much more labor-saving than the Changyuan plow, and Zhang Yuan doesn't even have to buy cattle.
With all the strong men in the family, he headed for the field outside the city, Ah Huang is now the nominal owner of the field, and has not returned to Zhang's mansion since he got the land deed.
Directly stayed in the house on the edge of the farmland, and when Zhang Yuan bought it before, he brought a house on thirty acres of land.
Zhang Yuan is also here for the first time, and the farmland of other people's families on the side has been planted with corn, and only his own land is still barren.
"Let's go."
Zhang Yuan shouted, Xiong Da alone took the plough rope of the Quyuan plow, carried the Quyuan plow forward and controlled the direction by the way, and there were two people behind him pushing the plow tip to make Xiong Da plow up the ground without so much effort.
Because the surrounding fields are homesteaders, there are no noble fiefdoms here, so naturally a small village was formed, called Sunjia Village, and there should be more people with the surname Sun.
It is estimated that there have been no nobles in this village for a long time, and everyone is very curious about Zhang Yuan and his party.
The Shu brocade robe on Zhang Yuan's body is not something that ordinary people can wear, and it is a strange thing for the noble children to go down to the fields to plow the land these days.
Although Chang'an, hundreds of miles away, even the Son of Heaven will go down to the fields to plough the land every spring ploughing, but it is obvious that there is no such custom in remote areas such as Shu County.
Nobles should be high, and they should not be contaminated with these things.
Zhang Yuan had the idea of becoming a farmer in his heart, but he was not in a hurry.
It would be nice to buy all the land in this village and build the village into a self-sufficient manor, away from the world.
Thirty acres of land is considered a small household in this village, and other families are at least 100 acres.
Because the harvest is not high, these yeoman farmers have very little rest time, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han are still very sympathetic to the people, the tax is not very high, and a family can still have forty stones of grain left every year when they plant a hundred acres of land.
However, Zhang Yuan is not for eating and drinking, just for the task, and he doesn't care about the output at all.
"How many acres of land can you plough in a day?"
After watching for a long time, Xiong Da pulled the Quyuan plow to finish plowing a small field, and Zhang Yuan was a little bored and asked Uncle Zhao.
"Childe, this zigzag plough you designed is very fast, and you don't need an ox to pull it.
At this rate, 30 acres of land can be cultivated in five days. ”
Six acres a day is still slow, but Zhang Yuan can continue to wait patiently.
"Lao Zhao, let's go back first, let them continue to cultivate the land."
Lao Zhao bowed slightly and nodded.
"Whoa."
Zhang Yuan didn't know how many seeds the system would give him at one time, so he thought that he couldn't let Ah Huang and them scatter the corn seeds after plowing the land.
"Ah Huang, when all the thirty acres of land are plowed, tell me first when you go back, don't rush to sow seeds."
"The villain knows."
Because Lao Zhao is older and more stable and reliable, Zhang Yuan made him the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, and all other problems in the mansion except for finances were handed over to Lao Zhao.
Li Jian sent twenty maidservants, and the whole Xiaoqing was used to clean up and work at all, and Zhang Yuan asked her to take care of the money, although it was not very good, but there was no omission with Lao Zhao to check it.
Spring is coming, everything is recovering, and some animals are starting to spring, and people are no exception.
But what Zhang Yuan didn't expect was that it was Lao Zhao who started to spring in this mansion, and he didn't know if his thing would work.
It may be that the identity of the housekeeper is more bullish in the hearts of those servants, Lao Zhao hooked up with Ah Hong, the oldest of the twenty servants, in just five days.
"Lao Zhao, how old are you, it's not that I won't let you find a daughter-in-law.
Shouldn't you find a widow with a child when you are looking for a daughter-in-law, so that you can still have a child to support you when you are old. ”
Maybe it was too boring, Zhang Yuan began to worry about Lao Zhao's private affairs.
As a result, Lao Zhao looked at Zhang Yuan with an aggrieved face, and said hoarsely.
"Childe, the villain has just passed the year of establishment this year, and Ah Hong is five or six years younger than the villain.
The villain still wants to fight and give birth to a seed of his own. ”
Only thirty years old? Lao Zhao, how many things have you gone through to develop this face of vicissitudes.
