The time has come to the seventh day of March in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, in the south, at this time, the spring ploughing has already begun, and a large area outside the fishing township has begun to be reclaimed one after another, but this year's task is mainly to open up the wasteland, the harvest of grain will not be too much, the real harvest, I am afraid to wait for next year.

However, for those people who have come to the fishing village to beg for a living under the call of Taishou Bangwen one after another, this year's work is extremely hard, although the government will not give them these new fields, but just the favorable conditions of two years of tax exemption make it difficult for them to refuse, not to mention that two years later, it will also be a tax of ten taxes.

When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, the agricultural tax was not high, and there were twenty taxes or even lower taxes at the lowest time, but if there was a great chaos today and the princes were divided, for ordinary people, the biggest feeling was that the taxes had increased, and it was normal for them to have five taxes and one and four taxes, and as tenant farmers, most of the grain they harvested was given to those landlords, and it would be good if they could not starve to death.

Now that the government is given heavy land, it is just a change of master's family, even if this land is reclaimed by them, but the concept in their bones has been formed, not to mention that the government's tax collection is not high, at least it will not be worse than before.

"No, this plow is too small!" Looking at the zigzag plow, which was more than twice as small as the previous plow, the old farmer shook his head and sighed.

"Bigger isn't always better." Liu Yi smiled and asked people to put the Quyuan plough on the back of the ox, and asked the old farmer to start plowing the field, the design should be no problem, and now it depends on the effect.

The old farmer sighed, shook his head and urged the oxen to start pulling the plow, the straight plow is very large, it takes two oxen to operate, the plow in front of him is not only small, not to mention the ox, some strength of the young man can pull, this kind of plow is a big hoe, right?

But Liu Yi asked him to do it, and he couldn't refuse, people are too guarded, these powerful people, so do they know these things?

Thinking of this, the old farmer ploughed for a while, and gradually realized that something was wrong, the speed was faster than the previous plow, and the effect was not bad at all.

What the hell?

The old farmer knocked on the plough carefully, and saw that he was about to turn, which was also a more troublesome operation, but the plow looked light, and he should be able to lift it, right?

"Uncle, you don't need to lift it, it will turn automatically around the corner." Liu Yi's loud voice came from afar.

When the old farmer heard this, he was suspicious and drove the oxen to turn the corner, only to find that the middle of the plough was not one, and it could swing automatically when turning, which was not a big improvement, but it was such a small change, but I don't know how much effort was saved.

The old farmer drove the cattle back and forth a few times in a bit of confusion, and the field that usually took a day to plough was now only about half the time, and with this in the future, this ploughing field can save a lot of effort!

"Fujun, your plow is really ...... It's really ......" The old farmer searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and couldn't think of any suitable words to describe his mood for a while, and looked at Liu Yi with some expectation: "Is this plow really for me?" ”

"Well, I've got you!" Liu Yi was very satisfied with the Quyuan plough he designed, just looking at the wrinkled smile on the old farmer's face, there was an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Thank you, Princess!" The old farmer wanted to kneel for Liu Yi, but Liu Yi reached out to support him.

"The ceremony is exempted, promote it more, tell others, if you want to use this plow, go to the government office to report for registration, pay an extra 10% of the grain tax every year, you can receive it, after two years of use, go to the government office to erase the record, and then the plow will belong to him, and there is no need to pay more taxes because of this." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, good, don't worry!" The old farmer smiled from ear to ear, so that he would have two years of taxes for nothing, and that one percent of the taxes would be a lot.

Bidding farewell to the excited old farmer, Liu Yi took Chen Ergou to the direction of the fishing town, after the promotion of this Quyuan plough in Changsha, you can consider promoting it to Guiyang, Lingling, Wuling and Nanjun, Liu Bei's current territory is so big, with this thing, it should be possible to reserve more capital for Liu Bei in the future.

Of course, it can be regarded as reducing the pressure on Cuizhou, and the first to benefit from the promotion of this quyuan plough is the old wealth of those landlords in Changsha County.

Although Cui Zhouping didn't say it, but Liu Yi didn't really ignore what was going on outside the window, these days, as some people migrated here, Liu Yi was able to hear some news that was unfavorable to himself and Cui Zhouping, after all, Changsha's population is so small, Liu Yi's side attracted so many people at once, for the wealthy families in Changsha City, the labor force has been greatly reduced, and if they want to keep those tenant farmers, they have to improve their treatment, which will naturally cause damage to their interests.

Next month, it is expected that Lu Lingqi will give birth in the month, Liu Yi will rarely leave his wife's side except for the necessary, now that the matter of Qu Yuan Plough has been decided, he will naturally not stay outside for a long time at this moment, all the way back home, half of the time of this day has passed, the time for lunch has passed, the weather is at the hottest time, the maid guarding the courtyard is lazy to sleep, probably never thought that Liu Yi would come back at this time.

Liu Yi didn't care about her, this state, he had it before, and besides, this spring was a time when it was easy to get sleepy, spring was sleepy and autumn was lacking, and the Deng family was very strict with the rules in this family, but Liu Yi, the head of the family, was not too concerned about this, and occasionally made some harmless jokes with these girls who were in their youth, and now seeing her like this, Liu Yi had the intention of teasing her.

But just thinking about it, that would make him look unserious as the head of the family.

Wangcai was sleeping next to his concubine, and when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes and took a look, and when he saw that it was Liu Yi, his ears moved, and he wagged his tail again, which was regarded as a greeting, and then he continued to lower his eyes and ignore him.

The already scorching sunlight shone into the hall through the window, and the maid lying on the table was napping, nodding her head and looking quite funny, Liu Yi shook her hand in front of her, but she waved it away.

The whole hall felt a little silent, Liu Yi glanced at the maid a little speechlessly, shook his head and sighed, walked upstairs, ran for a long time, and went to the ground, he was going to go to the bathhouse to have a good dip.

The original way of bathing in this era is very laborious, you have to fill the bath bucket first, and then heat it, and it is more troublesome when draining the water.

Not to mention the steam room, although you can't steam every day, you can still steam it once or twice once in a while.

The bathroom at home is not too big, at least not as big as in Mocheng, this fishing town was built temporarily for convenience, it is a holiday villa, naturally not so particular, the whole bathroom is only a dozen square size, most of it is occupied by the bath.

The bathroom on the second floor is bigger, after all, it is for the maids raised at home and the Deng family, although he is the head of the family, but that place is also a forbidden place for him, it is better not to trespass.

When passing by the second floor, Liu Yi also stopped and listened, naturally he didn't hear anything, and the sound insulation effect of the small building was very good.

Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, expressing satisfaction with the house he built, and then went up to the third floor, but unexpectedly found that his wife was not there, and it seemed that the Deng family was not there.

Thinking about whether to sue the Deng family's sister-in-law afterwards and let the Deng family clean up these disobedient little girls, he pushed open the bathroom door with his hand, and the steaming water vapor rushed to his face, but the picture was frozen at this moment.

Lu Lingqi was lying on the board bed in the bathroom, her bulging lower abdomen looked like an ostrich egg at this angle, and the comfortable expression on her face gradually turned into a stunned look at the door that was suddenly pushed open.

Even during pregnancy, because of Liu Yi's thoughtful care, the skin still remained smooth and smooth, of course, the scene that he had seen countless times in this way would not make Liu Yi stunned, and what made him freeze was that Deng Shi, who was helping Lu Lingqi wipe his body, was also here.

Naturally, it is impossible to be like Lu Lingqi, who is still wearing white obscene clothes and pants, but under the erosion of water vapor, it has been stuck to the skin, with round fragrant shoulders and bare half legs, other places give people a looming feeling, with the surrounding mist, the long hair coiled up on weekdays is now scattered like a black waterfall, blocking the smooth back.

At this moment, Deng Shi also looked at Liu Yi in some amazement.

"Uh...... Faux pas! Liu Yi closed the door and exited the bathroom, such a picture is actually not too impactful for Liu Yi, after all, the ones that Deng is wearing now, put on the women of later generations, that dare to wear directly on the street and swagger, in larger cities, such clothes are conservative.

It shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Liu Yi shook his head and returned to his room, he was more concerned about the impact of this matter, after all, he got along well with the Deng family, and he was used to having such an orderly woman in his life who could tidy up the house, if it was embarrassing for both parties to get along because of this incident, it was something that Liu Yi didn't want to see.

The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was not as serious as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, right? Take a look at your skin and be responsible?

The screams that should have appeared in the imagination did not appear, which was not in line with Deng's temperament.

Messy thoughts flashed through his mind, Liu Yi rubbed his cheeks, opened the window casually, looked at the scenery in the courtyard, and thought about what he should say when he saw the two of them for a while? Or......

After glancing at the bed, it might be a good idea to pretend to sleep......
