"Wow! The fish really went in on their own! Li He, who was still a teenager, didn't have so many thoughts, he turned his head to stare at the river, and saw that those small fish really got into it one by one, but they couldn't swim back and forth. Immediately playful, he turned around and grabbed a handful of branches: "Interesting! Interesting! I'll give it a try, too—why can't this fish swim out when it comes in? ”

"I'll tell you when your trap catches ten fish." Wei Renshi said with a smile as he dug up a few more earthworms from the wet soil next to him and threw them into the trap casually.

"The fish here are not tasty, they are fishy." Li He saw that Wei Renshi was happy to go fishing, so he said.

Wei Renshi laughed: "That's what you won't do!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered that it was the Tang Dynasty now, and not everyone had oil to eat at home, so it is estimated that the fish oil will not be fried first when making fish soup, right?

Well, I don't have a drop of oil at home, but fortunately, there is still a star of coarse salt, so I won't drink white soup.

Therefore, working hard to improve the quality of life is the first priority!

The two of them caught fish by the river and played for a long time, Wei Ren used wicker to weave a small basket, which surprised Li He again, and asked for one, holding his own fish.

Carrying the fish and wild vegetables back in a small basket, Wei Renshi was in high spirits, ready to show off his skills on the stove. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Xi'er, and he was not allowed to enter, so he had to give up.

The lady of the family saw this scene in her eyes, and called Wei Renshi to the house. said: "After the Ru Nai Shi clan, your Taizu, your grandfather, and your father are all scholars. In the future, you will only devote yourself to studying, and often think about the meaning of retribution, so as to live up to your ancestors. Don't be distracted, you don't have to do such things in the future. If you don't think the corn is full, just say it, and your mother will not teach you to be difficult. ”

In today's Wei Renshi's view, the wife in this family is a little rigid. The idea of living in the moment like this definitely doesn't make sense to her. So I wanted to nod and agree casually, just fool the past.

But when it came to his mouth, he said more, and said with a smile: "Which child of the scholar clan can't even eat enough, and he still needs his mother to borrow food?" I'm the eldest man, but I can't pull my face down and let my aunt beg for food! ”

It was a joke, but I didn't think that Mrs. Tai's expression darkened, she sighed, and said: "Study to gain fame and fame, and enter the court to benefit the people." It is the ancestral precept of the Wei family, which cannot be forgotten after all. If it weren't for the early death of your grandfather and father, our family would not have come to this point. If this is the case, my family still has a few acres of thin fields, but it is a pity that now the family is full of women and children, and the labor is not successful, resulting in basil in the fields and no corn harvest. It's a sin for the mother's housekeeping! ”

Wei Ren thought about it in his heart, a woman's family, a child who was not yet an adult, and a thin maid who was not very old. If she was born as a peasant woman, she would be able to do the work of moving the crops in the field. But the partial life is halfway down, and it is indeed embarrassing for others. However, now that he has become Wei Renshi, this responsibility is his own.

Wei Renshi felt that this should not be too difficult. After all, he has "lived" more than 1,200 years than them.

But I heard Mrs. Tai say again: "Having said that, the land still can't be planted." In the next few days, we need to take advantage of the rain and the soil to get wet, and plough the land first. ”

Wei Renshi has not cultivated the land, if there are such convenient farm tools in later generations, it is not difficult to cultivate a few acres of land.

But at the moment, it's a bit hard to say.

Therefore, Wei Renshi walked out of the house again and followed the fields.

There were already hard-working farmers who were hurrying to plough the land, and when Wei Renshi saw the farm tools in their hands, he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart - relying on those farm tools alone could not make the women and children in the family easily cultivate a few acres of land.

Walking through the ridges, Wei Renshi looked at the farmer who was pulling the plough hard in the field, laboriously moving forward in the field.

"Uncle Zhao, is this plough sinking?" Wei Renshi stood at the edge of the field and asked the farmers in the field, "Teach me to try it!" ”

"I'm afraid this can't be helped!" Zhao Laohan in the field smiled, wiped a handful of sweat, and said: "Wei Langjun is a scholar, and his hands are holding a pen and writing, and he will definitely be noble in the future, how can he do something in this muddy field." ”

Wei Renshi said with a smile: "The sage still has to do farming and mulberry every spring, and shovel two handfuls of soil in the ground, what am I?" While laughing, he took off his shoes and pulled up the hem of his clothes, jumped down, and snatched the rope from Zhao Laohan's hand.

Pull the rope up to your shoulder and pull it so hard that it doesn't move at all.

This body is still small, and it is too thin to have any strength at all.

Zhao Laohan grinned, took the rope from Wei Renshi's hand, dragged the plough himself, and motioned to his son-in-law who was pushing the plough behind, and the two continued to work.

Wei Renshi stood beside him, carefully looking at the plow.

This plough is also a curved plow, but the plough is too long, and it is a long curved plow. And there is something less on it than the Quyuan plow that Wei Renshi used in his later life.

For example, if there is no plough wall, it is not possible to push the soil in front of you directly while plowing the land. The plough shovel is too straight and is not easy to enter the soil to pick up and crush the soil.

In addition, there does not seem to be a structure that can adjust the depth of the ploughshare into the soil, and it is impossible to adjust the depth of the cultivated land.

In later generations, in remote mountainous areas, there were no large areas of fields, they were all small pieces of mountain fields, and modern machinery could not reach them, and in some places even tractors could not pass. Oxen farming methods and old-fashioned farming implements are still abundant in these places.

As a special post teacher who grew up in the countryside and stayed in the countryside to engage in rural education after growing up, Wei Renshi of later generations is no stranger to these old-fashioned farm tools.

Wei Renshi was sure that if he built those old-fashioned farming tools that he had seen in later generations, then the efficiency of cultivating the land would be improved by more than a star and a half.

Perhaps, even if there are three women and children in a family, it is enough to complete the cultivation of the field.

After a few more deep glances, Wei Renshi had already memorized the appearance of Zhao Laohan's plough in his heart. Then I went up to the ridge and hurried home.

Even if there are only a few old houses left in the house, a special study room has been vacated for Wei Renshi. As soon as he got home, Wei Renshi rushed in, closed the door, and drew on the paper with a pen.

Fortunately, he inherited the memory from the original owner of the body, and because of his profession, he also practiced a few times with a brush, so he quickly adapted to drawing with a brush.

For a whole afternoon, until no matter how hard he stared at the contents, he couldn't see the contents of the paper clearly, and after wasting a thick pile of precious paper, Wei Renshi finally got his wish and drew a pattern that satisfied him - the principle and structure of the Quyuan plough were actually really simple, even so, Wei Renshi still spent a lot of effort to finally draw the correct pattern that the craftsman could understand.

After lighting the lamp, Wei Renshi had another thought.

After using a few more pieces of paper, he drew out the key structures on the curved plough separately.

In this way, a complete pattern becomes a combination of several parts.

After setting the proportions, write down the specifications of the length and depth, give them to different craftsmen to create different parts, and when you come back, you can put them together yourself, at least for a short time, to maintain the secrecy of the curved plough - although the structure of the curved plough is simple, once it appears, it will inevitably be imitated. But at least until anyone else figures out the structure, there's still a little time to run it for itself, make some money from it, and then do something else.

Carefully collect the wasted paper and hide it for a few days to be wiped off. After that, Wei Renshi left the study.

It is estimated that this kind of thing cannot be known by A-Niang, otherwise she should say that she has distractions and is not concentrating on studying.

I can only try to get some money first, and find a craftsman to build it privately.

Wei Renshi immediately thought of his best friend.
