Chapter 99: Indirect Sales
Finally the start of work.
Liu Yiyi stood at the head of the field, watching the more than 100 tenant farmers busy in the fields, his heart was refreshed, ploughing cattle, fields, tenants, his life as a small landlord was about to really begin from this moment.
Although the soil of the wasteland is solid and there are many weeds and roots to control, it cannot resist the sharp tip of Liu's plough. When the tenant farmers ploughed, they felt that it was more labor-saving, worry-free, and faster than when they used to cultivate fertile land.
There are also ploughing cattle, and the Liu family has a total of 20 ploughing cattle for the tenant farmers, and 10 of them are through the nose of the ox. In the morning, when the tenant farmers were asked to choose the oxen, none of them could see the ones with wounded noses, and they all scrambled to grab the ten that the old willow had bought.
But now, seeing the relaxed appearance of those tenant farmers holding the nose of the ox, the eyes of the tenant farmers who tried to control the ploughing cattle turned red and red, and their hearts began to regret it.
Liu Laoshi was not at ease before, so he also followed Liu Yiyi over to join in the fun. Now I see that most of the tenant farmers under Liu Yiyi are honest and responsible farmers, and they are not as vicious and violent as others say, and the heart that has been carried has been put down.
Seeing that others were busy with their work, Lao Liu was also a little itchy and Liu Yiyi came back to Xin's plough, and couldn't help but want to go up and give it a try, so he greeted Liu Yiyi, and came to the side of Li Dechen's father and son to help.
However, with Li Dechen's temperament, how can he let Lao Liu, the big man, make a move, Li Dechen held the plow steadily, while plowing the land forward, and said to Liu honestly: "Master Liu, don't be difficult for the little old man, how can you let you do this kind of work yourself, you and the owner are both noble people, just leave these to us tenants." You'd better go to the ground and rest. Although there are many fields, with the help of these ploughing oxen and ploughshares, the little old man believes that it will not take five days to plow all this wasteland. ”
One hundred and fifty-eight people, twenty ploughing oxen, and thirty-two hectares of ploughing in five days, if this had been put in the past, it would have killed him, and Li Dechen would not have believed it, but now, he believed it.
Li Dechen has never tried to cultivate the field so quickly, and when he plows, it feels like he is walking, easy and fast. At this rate, it will not be a problem to cultivate 30 acres of land in a day.
"Brother Li's words are serious, my old willow is also a kind of farmer who has been a farmer all his life, where is the gold expensive? You just let me try it, this plow has been transported to my home from Xia'er Village yesterday, and my old willow has never tried it, so I am very anxious. Lao Liu looked at Li Dechen bably, eager to step forward and snatch the plow from Li Dechen's hand.
Seeing this, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but chuckle, his father is also an idle master.
"A virtuous nephew!" At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Liu Yiyi, Liu Yiyi turned around lightly, and saw that the person who came was the village leader of Gutian Village, Wang Zhenggang.
"Wang Cunzheng! One is polite here. Liu Yiyi hurriedly bent down and saluted, and at the same time a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, after waiting for so long, someone finally came, and it was a village leader.
Liu Yiyi straightened up, pretended to be confused, and asked Wang Zhenggang: "Why did Wang Cunzheng have time today to come to the top of this land?" But what are the commands? ”
"Oh," Wang Zhenggang replied and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, no, I just heard that the virtuous nephew is going to break ground today, so I wanted to come and take a look." The virtuous nephew is now one of the largest households in our Gutian Village, and for such a big thing as you breaking ground to open up the wasteland, my village will naturally come to congratulate you. ”
"Lord Muramasa is polite, a panic." Liu Yiyi bowed his head and thanked him, but in his heart, he completely ignored Wang Zhenggang's polite words. Congratulations? The devil believes!
Wang Zhenggang nodded, and then his eyes looked into the field, and when he saw the ploughing speed of the tenant farmers and the strange plowshares used for farming, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to those plowshares and asked Liu Yiyi: "A virtuous nephew, those plowshares of yours look so strange, I don't seem to have seen them before, I don't know what kind of plowshares they are?" ”
"Hehe," seeing Wang Zhenggang say this, Liu Yiyi chuckled and said to him: "Lord Hui Cunzheng, this is the Liu plough newly made by Uncle Yuan Fang Yuan of Xia'er Village, and it was just pulled back from Xia'er Village yesterday by the little nephew." This kind of ploughshare is lightweight, and it is quick to turn to ploughing, and the effect is not bad when used. ”
It's not bad, it's almost there.
Wang Zhenggang is a village leader, and he is also a farmer, so he naturally sees the benefits of Liu's plough thoroughly at a glance. Tenant farmers plough at least twice as fast as ordinary ploughs. Moreover, the effect of ploughing seems to be much better than that of a straight plow.
"Yuan Fang? That famous carpenter in Xia'er Village? Wang Zhenggang nodded, he knew Yuan Fang, he had good carpentry skills, and he had asked him to make a few household items before, but he didn't expect him to be able to make this kind of high-quality plough, but he was really a talent.
"Why, Muramasa-sama is also interested in this kind of plowshare?" Liu Yi whispered to Wang Zhenggang: "The day before yesterday, I heard that Yuan Fang and they recently opened a Liu's plough workshop, which is dedicated to producing this kind of Liu's plow. However, the daily production is limited, less than five. If Muramasa-sama wants to, he has to hurry. While there are not many people who know this kind of plowshare now, hurry up and buy a few, otherwise everyone will know about it in the future, and it will be difficult to buy it again! ”
"Oh?" Wang Zhenggang glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "I've never heard of this, but I should buy a few of this kind of good plowshares." Thank you for the reminder. But before that, the old man wants to try it, I don't know if a virtuous nephew may be convenient? ”
"Of course," Liu Yiyi smiled, real gold is not afraid of fire to refine, the quality of our plowshares is there, what is there to be afraid of. He stretched out his hand to Wang Zhenggang and asked, "Wang Cunzheng, come with your little nephew." ”
Liu Yiyi led Wang Zhenggang to Li Dechen's side and instructed Li Dechen: "Uncle Li, you stop for a while, and lend me the plough and ploughing ox first." ”
"Wang Cunzheng!" Liu Laoshi also noticed Wang Zhenggang's arrival at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Wang Zhenggang also returned the courtesy.
"Wang Cunzheng, please!" Liu Yiyi handed the plow to Wang Zhenggang and said, "The little nephew is in front of the village to lead the cow." ”
Wang Zhenggang took the plow and thanked Liu Yiyi: "Then there is a virtuous nephew." ”
The oxen walked, the plough moved, and the dirt, which had been buried for many years, was turned up little by little. Just like he imagined, this kind of plow is easy to use. Wang Zhenggang walked about a hundred steps with the plow on his feet, and then he stopped and praised Liu's plough: "Good! What a plowshare! If every family in Gutian Village can have this plow, why worry about this wasteland?! A virtuous nephew, I don't know how much money is needed to buy this kind of plowshare? ”
Finally asked the point, Liu Yiyi stretched out a hand, smiled and said to Wang Zhenggang: "It's not much, it's only five hundred wen." ”
"Five hundred wen?!" Wang Zhenggang frowned, five hundred wen seemed to be a little higher, but when he thought of the cultivation speed of the Liu family's plough and the time that could be saved, this price was quite acceptable.
Thinking about this, Wang Zhenggang handed over the plowshare to Li Dechen, said goodbye to Liu Yiyi and Lao Liu, and went home.
He is not the only one who has heard the news that the Liu family has a good plow, and he must buy a plow as soon as possible. Seeing the villagers gathering on the road towards Liuyi in twos and threes, Wang Zhenggang couldn't help but speed up his pace.
