Chapter 23 Busy spring ploughing
The problem of cattle is not a problem at all, money can make the ghost grind, and after paying a certain reward, that is, adding more wine every day, Ji directly promised to give Liu Shuhan fifty ploughing cattle, and even the money was free.
This is not their kindness, but considerable benefits, although the increase in wine every day is only twenty jars, but over the years, as long as they maintain a good relationship with Liu Feiyun, they will earn more.
Liu Shuhan was naturally very grateful for this, and took the initiative to send a few jars of excellent wine, which made the contact person Ji Shu even more happy, saying that if there is a need in the future, Ji will definitely not sit idly by.
The cattle were obtained, but how to transport them back was a nerve-wracking problem, and although there were only fifty of them, they had a clear goal when they got together.
The last group of cattle is scattered in different places to trade, and then a group of three drives a cow, one scout, one leads the cow, and one sweeps the tail, which is a real test.
But they were cautious, but the Ji family had no intention of exploring, and even took the initiative to propose a secret transaction. Interests are entangled, since he is not ready to make enemies of Liu Feiyun and others, he naturally can't let other forces seize the handle.
That night, the two sides moved their personnel, and the cattle were secretly driven to the agreed place to trade.
"These are five cows, and we deliver the rest of the cattle according to the agreed location." The person who came into contact with Liu Feiyun here was the Ji Clan's Ji Technique.
"Thank you very much." Liu Shuhan motioned for the people behind him to take over and leave, and then hugged his fists and said: "This time the Ji family made a righteous move, we will not forget this kindness, if the production of wine increases in the future, we will think of the Ji family for the first time." β
Isn't it just for this sentence that Ji Shu did, Ji Shu hurriedly said: "Looking forward to cooperating with you, if there is a need in the future, what Ji can do will not be the same." β
After the transaction was completed, everyone dispersed again, and Liu Shuhan's group also acted separately, erasing all traces and driving the cattle back to the valley.
Everyone in the valley knew about the arrival of the cows, and knew that the owner of the valley had bought a lot of cattle and came back as helpers for their next farming, and they all began to prepare for the cowshed these days.
And those amazing tools, others may not know the function, but the plow has changed, and the effect is what they have seen with their own eyes, how not to delight them.
Although they were slaves, they naturally would not refuse to be able to take it easy, and the development of the valley, all kinds of things that they had never seen before, all made them feel a beautiful future.
The cow was transported back, Liu Feiyun just looked at it curiously, he hadn't seen a live cow since he entered the city, and he just missed his childhood at this time.
But it was just a remembrance, and then he had a new idea.
In the past, his energy was basically in industry, but now in this society, agriculture is fundamental, food needs to be planted, and other animals and plants need to be added in the valley. For example, fruits, chickens, ducks, sheep, etc., especially horses, which were the most important means of transportation in this era, and also a large part of the combat power. The area in this valley is not small, and the slopes are full of forage, so breeding and breeding should not be a problem.
He said to Liu Shuhan, who was in command: "Brother Liu, there are still a lot of things in our valley, chickens, ducks and sheep we all need to buy a batch back, these can enrich our ingredients, and meat can provide more energy." There are also melons and fruits that also need to be brought back, which can provide everyone with richer nutrition. β
Regarding Liu Feiyun's sudden request of so much, Liu Shuhan glanced at him and said, "Brother Feiyun, you just let Brother Wei take a break, I'm almost too busy to die." β
"Ugh." When Liu Shuhan said this, it seemed that he was asking him to do everything, and he seemed to be really tired of him, but these things he said were not unusual, he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, next Brother Liu will rest more, we have almost enough personnel, and many talents are also trained in place, if Brother Liu is not an important matter, you can tell them to do it." β
"Hmm." Liu Shuhan obviously understands that although the capable person works hard, he can't bow down to everything.
In the following days, chickens, ducks, sheep and other houses were built in the valley, according to modern concepts, ventilation, manure treatment, and regular disinfection of the faΓ§ade with lime.
In the blink of an eye, with the help of plows and oxen, hundreds of acres of fertile land were quickly reclaimed, and if Liu Feiyun hadn't stopped it in time, they would have reclaimed even more.
There is no way around it, for these people, the more arable land the better, which means that the harvest will be more.
However, Liu Feiyun disagrees, if there is more arable land, there are more people who need to manage, and it is impossible for him to put his labor force on farming. Moreover, with so many fields, according to his assumption, the yield will not be low.
The fields are ploughed out, and they also need water storage to turn them into paddy fields, and the waterwheels were born, and there were waterwheels in this era, but after Liu Feiyun's improvement, the effect is better, and they can make good use of water power for other production. Septic manure is then added to build up fertility to ensure grain yield.
In the following time, most of the labor force in the valley was used to cultivate and farm, and the sun rose and the sun set to rest, and the acres of wasteland changed dramatically with the efforts of everyone.
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the paddy fields are lush and green, the growth of rice is gratifying, adhering to the ecological breeding, the paddy fields are arranged by Liu Feiyun to put in the fish, the chickens are driven out from time to time to solve some pests, and their feces have become the best nutrients for fish and rice. Of course, the ducks didn't dare to let them come, or the little fish wouldn't have suffered.
The green mountains and green waters, flocks of chickens and ducks, from time to time fat fish jump out of the water, and there are many red and green melon and fruit vines, I believe that in the near future, they will bring delicious fruits to Liu Feiyun and them to eat.
Everything in the valley is developing in a good direction, Liu Feiyun has other ideas on a whim in addition to being idle, such as beer, drinks, and fruit wine such as wine, spring has come, will summer be far away, it's time to add something to your summer.
Ideas give birth to the plant, the labor force is arranged one by one, and all the arrangements are in order.
On this day, Liu Feiyun looked at the person in front of him helplessly, Li Yu, the little princess, was spoiled by him, or the people in the valley, just a little girl, or the sister of the valley owner, eating, playing, everyone was not generally good to her.
This little guy was holding a cute duckling at this time, his body was dirty, his face was stained with a little mud, and the maid next to him was very anxious.
But she didn't care at all, and showed off to Liu Feiyun: "Brother, brother, look, Xiaoyu is amazing, I caught a duckling, and I will be responsible for raising it in the future." β
The little duck in her arms barked a few times unwillingly, wanting to struggle to escape, but the little girl hugged tightly, stroked his hair and said, "Little duckling, my sister will raise you in the future." β
Liu Feiyun was happy to see such childlike fun, but he couldn't get used to Li Yu, otherwise this little guy wouldn't be in the sky, pretending to be cold and said: "Xiaoyu, how did my brother teach you, how did you make yourself so dirty?" β
The little guy didn't get praise from her brother, but was criticized, and immediately turned pale, but in order not to let her brother hate herself, she immediately admitted her mistake and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I won't do this again." But tears welled up in his eyes.
The duck in his arms flapped his wings and flew away because he was no longer restrained.
Liu Feiyun saw Li Yu's desire, and she also wanted to be able to play, but there were no playmates of the same age in the valley, and Liu Feiyun realized that she had forgotten such an important thing.
He didn't care about the dirtiness on Li Yu's body, and directly picked her up and comforted: "Xiaoyu doesn't cry, my brother shouldn't talk about you, but you can't make yourself dirty because of playing, it won't look good, and it's easy to get sick, you can't let my brother worry, you know." β
"Got it, brother." Li Yu looked at his brother nervously and said, "Xiaoyu will be very well-behaved, my brother can't do without me." β
"Of course, how could my brother not want Xiaoyu."
Hearing Liu Feiyun's words, Li Yu kissed him on the face and made him happy. Then Liu Feiyun handed Li Yu to the maid standing aside and asked her to go down and wash.
Thinking of his own negligence, he immediately looked for Liu Shuhan to explain the situation, and after Liu Shuhan heard it clearly, he patted his head: "My fault, I didn't even think of such an important thing." β
Liu Feiyun excused him and said: "This is also my fault, as her brother, I haven't thought of it for so long." But then buy some children back as soon as possible, be more balanced, can be used as Xiaoyu's playmate, and start cultivating from a young age, more loyal. β
"Well, I'll get it arranged as soon as possible."
"That's so hard, Brother Liu." Liu Feiyun just moved his mouth, how could he not get a thank you from the inner government, and then he asked, "What about Brother Dong?" It's been a long time since I've seen him. β
"He?" Referring to his third brother, Liu Shuhan smiled bitterly: "He took that group of cubs into the mountains, there should be no danger, but this kid runs out from time to time, and there is no certainty." β
"It's rare that Brother Dong likes it, let him be, as long as it's not dangerous, he doesn't like the others."
This is also the case, when he was in the cottage, his third brother showed his fists and feet at every turn, and he admired force, in fact, he was not stupid, but he just didn't like to use his brain.
"Then let him be, Dong Fang naturally has no problem with his force, and he does the best thing with your set, and it is the most suitable to teach that group of people."
After chatting a little and asking if there were any difficulties encountered, everyone went their separate ways.
Well, Liu Shuhan is busy dealing with things, and Liu Feiyun is busy resting and sleeping, the environment creates people, how long has it been in the world, and the act of sleeping lazy is called perfection.
But people have time to be idle, but things come to you.
