Suddenly, Zhang Yi's eyes widened, and after looking at it for four or five minutes, he realized that these guys were not holding the cow, but begging the cow to walk!

In the Tang Dynasty, cattle are more expensive than people's gold, which is a truth that everyone and even His Majesty the Emperor knows, because it is not easy to cultivate, the value of its labor is infinitely magnified, and now it has the same treatment as its ancestors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cow was reluctant to move forward, and the farmer who slapped the cow's ass behind had no choice, so at this time the bear child came in handy, and immediately a half-grown baby with a snot took a handful of grass with yellow leaves and handed it to the cow's mouth.

The old cow was very satisfied, stretched out his tongue and rolled the grass into his mouth, chewed it slowly for a while before continuing to walk forward under the guidance of the farmer.

After stopping and fiddling for half an hour, Zhang Yi looked at it, and couldn't wait to slaughter this beast with one knife, and he didn't finish a straight line and actually opened a small stove twice!

In the end, it is still pampered! If you go at this rate, let alone three or four acres, you can plow two acres of land in a day, thank God.

Zhang Yi's face was gloomy, but some people didn't think so, Jingyang County Ling Qin Huai felt that the scene was very busy, and there were farmers busy with spring ploughing everywhere, and there was no idler. He could even foresee a layer of tender green growing on the sand in half a month, until it turned into a golden wheat field.

"Farmers are diligent in spring ploughing, why is Jingyang County worried?" Qin Huai walked up to Zhang Yi and asked with a smile.

As the leader of a county, Qin Huai has the responsibility of persuading farmers, especially landlords like Zhang Yi, who are the objects of his attention.

"It's too slow!" Zhang Yi gave a salute to Qin Huai, and he said after seeing it, and then he said: "The work of a few people and a cow in a day is only two or three acres of land, and this kind of labor speed is worrying!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh as well, and said loudly: "Yes! 'A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and half a thread and half a thread of perseverance are difficult! The hardships of ploughing are the foundation of their lives, and the officials also need to visit the village to persuade the farmers!

However, it is rare for a cow to cultivate three acres of land a day, so isn't Jingyang County still satisfied? ”

"Of course not! Qin County ordered you to look at the cow opposite! As he spoke, Zhang Yi pointed to a very sturdy big yellow cow and said, "This cow is the hardest working among dozens of cows today, and it is only ploughing for three points now."

Stop and go along the way, there are children in front of them to send green leaves, and there are farmers in the back to persuade in, here is cultivated land, it is simply to serve the uncle! ”

What Zhang Yi said was the truth, but this situation has not been known to have lasted for hundreds of years, and what everyone regarded as a matter of course did not work for him.

"Hahahaha!" Qin Huai laughed and said, "Work hard, some preferential treatment should also be, is it difficult for the county to let them be busy cultivating all the time?" Besides, after all, a cow is an animal, and if it can't understand human speech, it naturally can't do it like an arm, so you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about it! ”

Hearing Qin Huai's remarks, Zhang Yi not only widened his eyes, as if he had seen him for the first time, but also looked at him and asked, "Does the county order really think so?" ”

The atmosphere became heavy for a while, not what Zhang Yi thought of this county's character, but it was really speechless. It's hard to think that if the officials in the world are like him and follow the old rules, of course, there will be nothing wrong with this, but what about development? It would be nice to expect such a group of people to manage the people, and to have enough to eat!

"Could it be that the county has another opinion?" Qin Huai was not angry at Zhang Yi's question, but looked at Zhang Yi with a smile.

This is the second time he has seen this newly promoted Jingyang County, and he doesn't know Zhang Yi very well, but he doesn't have the slightest contempt for him to suddenly become a county figure by himself. It is not that there have been no people who have been exiled to the land of Lingnan in history, but these people often do not have a good end, and it is a luxury to be able to die peacefully, let alone become a nobleman.

In his opinion, even if Zhang Yi received Feng Guogong's help in this matter, he definitely had some ability.

"Qin County Order, in my opinion, animals are born to serve people! Horses, dogs, pigs, sheep.... They can be used for walking, for the family, and even for carnivores! Zhang Yi looked at Qin Huai and said: "The cow is naturally also a beast, I don't think it has any nobility, on the contrary, it is strong and docile, and we let it plough the land is another manifestation of our human wisdom."

Because our manpower is not as great as it, our ancestors have recognized this since the time of slash-and-burn farming, so we have domesticated it for thousands of years, from the wild and untamable, until the gentle tame that you and I see now, and can replace people to plow the land. It really doesn't understand people, but I don't think it's just because of this slow farming, and that our failure to make them obey our will only means that we haven't found the right way.

Once we find the right way, I believe that the efficiency will definitely be improved by at least ten times! ”

"So Jingyang County already has a plan?" Qin Huai showed a hint of surprise on his face and asked curiously.

"There is a way!" Zhang Yi turned to the side and ordered to the old bell: "Old Zhong, help me call three young people with more strength to come over, and then follow a rope, and a copper ring that can be broken and closed, and also need an iron drill and charcoal fire!" ”

The lord spoke, so naturally there was no need to say more, and soon the three solid men ran over with the things Zhang Yi needed.

"Sir! My lord! As soon as the three of them arrived, they immediately saluted them.

"Get up! Your lord has something to ask you for, and you just have to do what he says! Qin smiled and motioned for the three men to get up, and said to Zhang Yi: "What should the county do next?" ”

"You go and get that healthy cow here, and the remaining two will build two more stakes here!" Zhang Yi commanded.

The construction of the wooden stake is very simple, it is nothing more than a few pieces of wood, there are many on the village, and three or five villagers around the village joined the construction team as soon as they said hello, and at the same time the sturdy ox was also invited.

The old cow ignored the crowd, eating the grass sent by the children by himself, very leisurely, and from time to time he turned his head sideways to look at the crowd in front of him.

"Here's the cow!" Zhang Yi pointed to the built wooden stake and said, "The main thing is to make it unable to borrow!" ”

Everyone looked puzzled, although they all knew that they were afraid that the old cow would be treated unfairly next, but after thinking about it, they still chose to give in, and several men put the healthy cow on the hook together!
