Twenty Liu's ploughs were sent by Yuan Pei at noon.

At that time, Liu Yiyi had just gotten up because of a hangover, and he was wearing a short shirt in the courtyard to practice Jeet Kune Do, boxing, kicking, and moving his body. Seeing Yuan Pei driving a donkey cart to the door, he put away his movements and greeted him.

"Uncle Yuan is really a believer, it's really hard to send it so quickly." Liu Yiyi arched his hand, saluted Yuan Pei, and then opened the door and asked Yuan Pei to drive the donkey cart in.

"Doctor Liu is polite." Yuan Pei drove the donkey cart to the courtyard and said with a smile: "It is the responsibility of us little carpenters to deliver goods to the owner, where do you see these plowshares unloading for you?" Whether it's in the courtyard or in the house, I'll carry it for you. ”

"Just put it in the courtyard," Liu Yi waited for the donkey cart to stop, stepped forward to pick up a plowshare, and asked Yuan Pei with a smile: "Uncle Yuan can make these plowshares so quickly, I think the Liu's plow workshop is already fully operational, right?" ”

"Blessing to the Divine Doctor Liu," Yuan Pei's expression was quite proud, he jumped down from the donkey cart, and said to Liu Yiyi: "Since yesterday afternoon, until I came, the Liu's plough workshop has rushed to produce twelve Liu's ploughs, and this is because those apprentices are not familiar with the production, I think in a few days, the workshop can produce fifteen to twenty plowshares a day." That's more than double what was previously anticipated.

"Then congratulations to Uncle Yuan and Uncle Yuan." This is good news for Liu Yiyi. The increase in production efficiency means the reduction of production costs and the commission of large profits, and the money he earns will naturally be much more on the original basis.

"Rejoice, rejoice!" Yuan Pei arched his hand and glanced at Liu Yiyi, and then the two of them laughed at the same time.

After the two unloaded the plowshare, Yuan Pei declined Liu Yiyi's invitation, and directly said goodbye to Liu Yiyi: "Doctor Liu, Liu's plough workshop has just opened, and there are still many affairs to be dealt with. ”

"In this way, one will not be forced to stay, and I will send Uncle Yuan out." Liu Yiyi sent Yuan Pei out of the door with a smile.

If the matter of opening a workshop had been put on hold until now, Liu Yiyi would be a major shareholder, with funds as shares, accounting for 60 percent. Yuan Fang's father and son invested in technology, accounting for 40%. Now Liu Yiyi, the major shareholder, is naturally very happy to see that Yuan Pei, a small shareholder, will work so hard and diligently to make money for him.

"Doctor Liu doesn't have to send it anymore, Yuan said goodbye." Yuan Pei got into the car, arched his hand to Liu Yiyi, and waved a small leather whip to leave.

Liu Yiyi closed the gate and returned to the courtyard again. Looking at the twenty-one ploughing oxen in the courtyard and the twenty Liu's ploughing ploughs. I couldn't help but smile on my face, with these things, isn't it the same as playing to reclaim a few hectares of wasteland?

After entering the house and saying hello to Liu He, he changed his clothes, and Liu Yiyi led Liu Wuxian out of the door. The destination was the village where the tenants lived.

It's time to break ground. The date set before should also be mentioned on the premise.

Liu Yiyi entered the village and rode slowly on a donkey. Seeing some children playing outside in the village were so frightened that they avoided him when they saw him, as if they had seen a little devil, which made Liu Yiyi's heart a little depressed. However, the adults in the village were quite polite to him, and when they saw him, they would bow respectfully and greet him with a 'good owner' or something.

"Boss, why are you here?" Li Dechen received a message from afar, and he came out of his home from afar. Walked quickly to Liu Yiyi, bowed to him, and then reached out to take the reins in Liu Yiyi's hand, and said, "The owner is please, go to the old man's house to rest and rest." ”

"Well," Liu Yiyi handed Liu Wuxian to Li Dechen and replied softly: "There is Lao Li Lao." After that, he followed Li Dechen into Li's house.

It was still the three stools, Liu Yiyi was given to the right position, and Li Dechen sat on the side. But this time, there was tea, which was brought by Li Dechen's eldest son Li Biao. When handing the tea bowl to Liu Yiyi, Li Biao smiled at Liu Yiyi stupidly, and said in a humble voice: "Boss, please.. Tea! ”

Liu Yiyi took the tea bowl lightly, put it on the table, looked at Li Biao for a while, and asked Li Dechen: "Li Laozhan, is this your son?" "I remember seeing it once when I came to sign the contract last time, I was very big and had the strength to do it, but it looked a little silly, that is, a little lacking in heart. Thinking that Li Dechen is such a smart person, how could he give birth to such a son?

Li Dechen waved his hand to beckon Li Biao to go down, and said to Liu Yiyi with a smile: "The owner's wisdom is the eldest son of my family, called Li Biao." Because he was hit a little when he was a child, his head was a little bad, which made the owner laugh. But don't worry, although this kid is a little stupid, he is a good hand at farming. It will never delay the owner's farming. ”

Li Dechen carefully explained, for fear that Liu Yiyi would fire Li Biao if he didn't like it one by one.

Speaking of which, this Li Biao is also a piece of Li Dechen's heart disease, they are in their twenties, and they are about to run for thirty, but they can't get a daughter-in-law yet. He was so worried that his hair was gray, and the incense of their Li family was probably going to be broken when he arrived.

Liu Yiyi saw Li Dechen's careful thoughts, smiled and waved his hand at Li Dechen and said: "Li Laozhan is too worried, I just see that Li Biao is strong, honest and honest, and happy in my heart, and I don't mean anything else." ”

"The owner is very loving." Li Dechen saw that Liu Yiyi said it sincerely, and he didn't mean to laugh at him in the slightest, so he smiled at him gratefully and said, "I don't know what the owner has to do here?" But it's time to start breaking ground? ”

"Hmm," Liu Yiyi took a sip of the tea bowl and frowned slightly, the taste of the tea was bitter or bitter, and there was no aftertaste after the entrance, it should be the most inferior tea. So he put the tea bowl on the table again and said to Li Dechen: "I am ready to stop plowing cattle and tools, so I will come to answer with Li Laozhan Ward today, and I will start to officially break ground tomorrow." I have to bother Li Laozhan to notify all households. ”

"In addition, there is the issue of the distribution of land and the distribution of cattle. I also have to discuss it with Mr. Li in advance. Liu Yiyi humbly asked Li Dechen for advice: "I don't know how these were distributed when Li Laozheng was farming for Wang Kui and them in the past?" ”

"Hehe, the owner is an upstart, and it should be that things are not clear. The little old man will talk to the owner in detail. Li Dechen carefully considered it, and then began to introduce Liu Yiyi in detail.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were generally only two ways to cultivate the land of landlords, one was renting and the other was hiring.

Renting is to lease land to those who are half-peasants and half-tenants or who have a certificate but have no land, and collect high rents to make a profit.

Hiring, that is, the farming method that Liu Yiyi now uses, hires some professional tenant farmers who do not have household registration to farm. The tenant farmers were given a small amount of money and food each year in exchange for a large amount of their labor. When farming, everyone makes and eats together, and as long as they can complete the farming task within the time specified by the owner, the owner will not say anything.

"Therefore, the owner does not need to separate the land at all, nor does he need to plough the oxen," Li Dechen said to Liu Yiyi: "The thirty hectares of land in the east family, everyone goes to plow together, or lead oxen, or support the plow, or collect grass, or fertilize." Never remember to be able to plough the land within the time specified by the owner, and you can't delay spring plowing and sowing. ”

"Isn't this a 'big pot of rice'?" After listening to Li Dechen's explanation, Liu Yiyi suddenly remembered a farming system that was popular in the land of country Z in the fifties of the twentieth century.
