The young man went back alone, Yang Yong then asked the remaining more than 20 people whose cow was willing to wear the cow's nose, and the palace guaranteed that the cow would be safe and sound after wearing it. ”

The rest of the farmers all looked at each other, not knowing what to do, no matter where the ploughing cattle are the root of life, the court in the field when there are ploughing cattle farmers can also help an additional 30 acres of land, which shows the importance of ploughing cattle. Some peasant households have saved up for a lifetime to be able to afford to buy ploughing cattle, and this will also encounter a peaceful year, if it is a famine year or encountering a war and chaos, a peasant family may not be able to afford ploughing cattle for a lifetime, so they can only use people to pull the land.

With such a thick branch passing through the nose of a cow, is it really guaranteed to be okay? It's just that the identity of Prince Yang Yong makes such a farmer dare not doubt it, but there are also flexible farmers who are active in their hearts, if there is nothing to do, if the ploughing cow dies, the prince can really lose ten dollars, then he can buy two and a half calves, as long as he raises two cows in the family for half a year.

"My lord, if there is something wrong with the cattle, can you really lose ten dollars?" A middle-aged man asked timidly.

"Bold, you dare to doubt the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Yun Dingxing couldn't help but shout loudly on the side.

Yang Yong raised his hand and stopped Yun Dingxing from continuing to speak: "Go, bring the money." ”

Yun Dingxing was helpless, so he had to signal the two officials to move the money, and after a while, a large wooden box was lifted out, Yang Yong opened the wooden box, and suddenly a yellow and clear light came out of the box, and the farmers' eyes suddenly widened, they had never seen so many brand-new copper coins in their lives.

"Well, as long as you are willing to wear the nose of the ox, each of you can immediately take ten yuan to go back, if the ploughing ox dies, then the ten yuan will belong to you, if the ploughing ox is fine after ten days. You just need to pay back the money. ”

In this way, if the ploughing cattle are fine, they will at least have a consistent income, and if the ploughing cattle die, they can earn two or three times, and a few young farmers suddenly became moved, but they still had doubts in their hearts: "My lord, if the ploughing ox dies." How is it good for the yamen to pursue it? ”

"Don't worry, your current farming cattle are equivalent to buying them from the government, and if they die, they have nothing to do with you."

An old farmer said to himself: "I heard that someone in the south pierced the nostrils of cows, and the old man thought it was nonsense, but it seems that it is really feasible." ”

In fact, wearing a cow's nose was present as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. It's not that Yang Yong invented it first, it's just that the ancient transportation was not developed, and all parts of the country regarded the ploughing cattle as life, and those places that had tasted the benefits of wearing the cow's nose would always be retained. In order to give full play to the maximum efficiency of cattle, and most of the cattle in the north come from the grassland, the cattle on the grassland are free, there is no custom of wearing a cow's nose at all, even if you hear the behavior of the south, you have not seen the cow can wear the nose people think that it is just a false rumor, and refuse to believe it.

"Uncle Zhou, is it really okay for the cow to wear its nose?" I heard the old farmer talking to himself. Several men who had already moved were even more overjoyed.

The old farmer called Uncle Zhou still shook his head: "I only have to hear about it, and I can't guarantee it, you can decide for yourself." ”

Seeing their muttering discussions, Yang Yong didn't interrupt, and sure enough, after a while, five young farmers walked up to Yang Yong together: "My lord, we are willing to put the cow's nose on it." ”

Yang Yong nodded: "Okay." Do it yourself. ”

Several people hurriedly turned around and walked towards the nearby woods. Like Yang Yong, he folded off a branch the thickness of a finger. But they didn't have knives on them, so they had to turn back after breaking off the branches. Looking at the saber on Yang Yong's guard, one person boldly asked, "A few adults, can you borrow a saber?" ”

Several guards looked at them coldly, and their hearts were very unhappy, how could they cut down branches for them with their own murderous knives, looking at the guards' cold faces, the bold peasant suddenly felt weak and retracted his hand.

Yang Yong hurriedly ordered: "Give them the dagger." ”

Hearing Yang Yong's command, several guards reluctantly took out the daggers they carried and handed them to the peasants who were about to borrow the saber just now.

Several cattle looked at the branch in the owner's hand vigilantly, and when Yang Yong pierced the cow's nose just now, the other cattle could see it clearly, and when they saw the same thing in the owner's hand, several cattle exhaled in their noses and whispered a warning.

However, the young men did not pay much attention to it, and they made several noises from their mouths, and the barks of the cattle calmed the oxen, and they took the opportunity to approach, clasped the head of the ox in their hands, and began to pierce the nostrils of the oxen.

Just now they saw that Yang Yong was simple when he pierced the nostrils of the cow, but it was extremely difficult for them to put their turn to pierce the nostrils, in fact, it was good to pierce the nostrils when the cow was half an age, these cattle were in the prime of life, and the flesh of the nostrils had already grown thick, and it was not easy to pierce, and as soon as the cow felt pain, the cow's head was immediately shaken, and several people were so busy that they couldn't sweat enough to pass through the branches.

Yang Yong was secretly frightened when he saw it, for fear that something would happen to these cows, so he hurriedly said: "Yang Shi, you bring a few people over to help hold down the cow's head, be careful that the cattle go crazy." ”

As soon as Yang Yong finished speaking, there was a loud cry of "", and a yellow head was stabbed several times by the owner, and the pain in his nose was unbearable, and he struggled hard

The rope was thrown off, and the man who was piercing the nostrils of the cow loosened his feet, and the ox who suddenly broke free from the rope snorted and panted in his mouth, staring at the owner who was thrown to the ground with blood-red eyes, and as soon as he lowered his head, he was about to push it with his horns.

The man was suddenly frightened and his face turned pale, if he was hit by the horns, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die, but fortunately, Yang Shi had already approached, he let out a shout, and held down the head of the ox before the ox reached the person, and the farmer man escaped.

Several other people were busy for a long time and didn't get dressed, and when they saw a companion who almost had an accident, they quickly stopped, not daring to wear it again, Yang Yong was helpless, and snatched the sharpened branch from the hand of the man who was almost injured by the cow just now: "Let me come." ”

Yang Yong approached the ox where Yang Shi pressed the ground with a branch, and when he saw Yang Yong coming, the ox had understood Yang Yong's intentions, and made a sound of breathing, and the two hooves in front of him moved wildly, making several deep marks on the ground. Desperately trying to break free, the Yang Shi on its head seemed to have a thousand catties of strength, no matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail.

"Flutter", Yang Yong poked hard, the branch had passed through the nostrils of the ox, and several drops of blood were sprinkled on the wasteland, Yang Yong quickly tied a dead knot with the rope at the end of the crossing, signaling Yang Shi to let go.

Yang Shi's hands were loosened. The ox suddenly felt that the pressure on his body disappeared, and it hated the pain that Yang Yong had just brought to it in its heart, and rushed towards Yang Yong with a loud scream, Yang Yong shook the reins with his hand, and a sour and numb uncomfortable taste suddenly came from its nostrils, and the ox barked several times. But there was no longer anger, but it was as if begging for mercy.

Yang Yong threw the reins into the hands of its owner: "Next, you can take it and try it." ”

A branch as thick as a finger passed through his nostrils, but the ox stopped without bleeding much, and although he could get ten copper coins once the ox died, the man still carefully pulled the reins for fear of causing harm to the ox. The scalper was pulled by the owner, and the numbness from the nose made it have to move its steps in the direction of the rope, and the man tried several times, and the cattle who were extremely strong in the past obeyed obediently under his instructions, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he shouted: "It really works." ”

Yang Yong shouted: "The scalper's wound is not healed yet, don't be involved too much." ”

"Yes, sir." The young man put down the reins convincingly. Allowing the scalpers who had just worn their noses to move freely, Yang Yong had already passed through the noses of the two scalpers, and there were guards to help hold down the bull's head, and the frame was easy to cook, and after a while, he even pierced the nostrils of the five cattle, and the cattle that were passed through the nostrils screamed in pain, for a while. The front of the agricultural college was full of cow barking.

Cattle that pass through their nostrils are carefully tied to their owners. There are now six scalpers at the scene that did not go through their nostrils. When Yang Yong wanted to wear it again, he was begged by several old farmers on his knees. Although they could already graze with their heads down when they saw the first ox, they were distressed to death when they heard the pain of the cow's cry, and several farmers who had already made up their minds to pierce the nostrils of the cow also changed their minds, preferring not to make the same amount of money than to let their ploughing cattle suffer.

Yang Yong is not forced, after a few days when the cattle are all injured, seeing the benefits of piercing the nostrils of the cattle, they will naturally not resist anymore, because the five cattle can not plough the land for the time being, plus the cattle that began to be taken away, there are only six cattle that can still contribute, Yang Yong does not want them to use the cattle that have not passed through the nostrils to plow the land, wasting a labor, announced that the reclamation will be suspended, and it will continue after five days.

Yang Yong asked Yun Dingxing to give each of them a five-day subsidy, and the other five cattle that had worn their nostrils were left to be taken care of by the Agricultural College, and their owners could each bring ten yuan home, and if the cattle were okay in ten days, they only needed to return nine yuan and the cattle would belong to them.

After these people left, Yang Yong checked the construction of the wooden house, and when he saw that there was no big problem, he returned to the East Palace, but not long after he sat down in the East Palace, a chamberlain hurriedly came: "Prince, the emperor has a decree to let the prince see the driver." ”
