Chapter 165: There are many things to do in the spring ploughing season

Spring ploughing has finally begun vigorously, and then you can see the strength of each Zhuangzi master, who can call more livestock.

Zhang and Wang's family mobilized more than 500 ploughing cattle to plough in the fields, and some of the straw directly pressed into the fields did not need to be ploughed at all, and then fertilizer was added, and some of them had to be ploughed several times in a row.

On the edge of the ground are the people sent by the master to help cook, and before the farmers go to the field, everyone takes a sip of wine, and the one in their fifties only takes a sip and does not dare to drink more.

Gejia Zhuangzi also got nearly 30 ploughing cattle, Gezhuang's farmer this year to compare with Zhang Wang's two families, it can be said that the tools are not good, the ploughing cattle are not enough, and the human body can not be compared, and there is no reason this year, Ge Yingxi gave all that he could give.

If you are like last year, you will be left behind, and you don't need to be angry, and the villagers themselves will be able to suffocate to death.

Li Xun also tried to get some livestock, he couldn't find too many cattle, Zhang and Wang family have never stopped buying and breeding cattle, the bigger calf is almost two years old, can do some work, but Li Xun has another way, he got a group of horses.

More than 300 horses, these horses are used to make military horses, and the horses used to pull carts are better, if they are used to plough the land, everyone who sees them is distressed, the speed of the horse is faster than that of the ploughing ox, it is nothing more than not so much strength, and the rotation is not slower than the speed of the two families of Zhang Wang.

The Chen family finally accepted Li Xun's method, spending 50 yuan per mu to buy water, and later provided various silk cloths for evaluation to Li Xun and Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

Steward Chen is no longer a housekeeper, he was beaten up when he went back that day, Chen Gengxin put all the responsibility on Steward Chen, even if it was a concubine to intercede, it was useless, this time he miscalculated, thinking that the little Hou Ye would not help the Zhang family with so much fanfare.

thought that he could compete with the Zhang family by relying on the cloth shop behind him, but he found out at the end that the Zhang family was still the Zhang family that no one could bargain for, so he could only suppress this breath in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate, now it is not possible, and the people in the cloth industry are also launching some people who take the imperial examination, as long as these people become officials, there are many benefits to the cloth guild.

I really don't have the leisure to take care of other things, if there is no imperial examination, it is not a big deal to provoke a waiting master, just don't do things in other people's fiefdoms in the future, but now I don't dare, who knows what role a waiting master will play in the imperial examination?

The middle of the capital county order has a good life these days, spring ploughing, everyone uses the Quyuan plow, whenever this time, will think of the Cheng county order to get this plow, it is said that the emperor also mentioned a single sentence, other officials immediately began to start the Cheng county order, Cheng county order took this opportunity to start a feast.

Usually go to the place is two big markets, the East Market and the West Market, the place to choose is naturally the champion and the proud residence, every time I bring Zhang's father, to Zhang's father to introduce those who participate in the banquet.

The status of these people is not too high, but they can't stand the number of people, the officials below the fourth grade keep coming, the bigger officials did not move, some of them received a letter from Bi Shangshu who had not yet decided whether to agree to the Shi, and some of them received a letter from Xiao Houye.

It's all waiting there, there is still a month to go, and now it's not in a hurry, waiting for others to exert their strength, and then they can follow the force depending on the situation.

Li Xun found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan here again this day, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were thinking about a new plow, such as shortening the wheel a little, increasing the curvature, and replacing some parts with iron, which can be slightly more convenient, flexible and durable.

The plough of the Quyuan plough used by the rich is iron, and the people who have no money can only use wood, and the Zhang and Wang families naturally use iron.

"It's more comfortable to hold on to the handlebars, just like the handlebars of a bicycle." Wang Juan said as he drew on a drawing.

She and Zhang Xiaobao couldn't know what the best plow to use in the future would be, and they couldn't remember, so they didn't usually care much, but they would ask those farmers when they were uncomfortable when they used it, and the farmers would tell the two of them what they were not satisfied with.

The place of the handrail looks simple, but the people who work will inevitably have some mud on their hands, when they hold the handrail, there is some mud and sand between the hands and the handrail, which is uncomfortable, and you can wear gloves to solve this problem, but the feel is not good, there are not so thin gloves.

Nor can you put a basin of water next to it, wash it from time to time, the two of them thought about it and decided to carve out the texture on the handrail, there is sand on the hand, and it will fall off after grinding it twice, and it can also increase friction.

As for the length of the arm and the degree of bending, it is also due to the proposal of the farmers to change, when ploughing, holding the plow, it is impossible to maintain a good straight line distance, walk in front of the place because of the different places of force, it will be biased, need to adjust it, this is also a strength work.

In the process of adjustment, the handrail is pressed, so that the front is slightly raised, the longer the position in front of the fulcrum, the longer the resistance arm, if the resistance arm is shortened alone, the direct force of the rear force point is large, and the bending can be reduced.

As for the replacement of parts with iron in some places, it is because the plough is not always broken, and the loss is relatively large when it goes up on the ground, and it is often a ploughing, so it has to stop and change a part, and if it encounters a slightly larger time and compacted land, it will be changed more times.

Every time you change it, you waste some time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't care about the consumption of time, what they care about is the speed of farming, which must be faster than the Ge family and the Li family next to them.

The two of them were discussing while there was still time to revise, when Li Xun walked in, and there was no one to stop him from entering and leaving the place where the two of them.

As soon as I came in, I saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan putting their heads together there, muttering and drawing, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also heard the voice, looked back, and saw that it was Li Xun, Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly greeted, "Why does Li Gongzi have the leisure to come?" ”

Li Xun didn't speak directly, but walked to the table in a few steps, looked at the picture above, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said: "Okay, you guys, in vain I help you on weekdays, you have good things now, don't say use them for me, others say that the quyuan plow was made by Cheng Anran, I don't believe it, sure enough." ”

Li Xun stopped here, looked at another picture, frowned and asked, "What is this?" Shoes? Can you wear these shoes? ”

The other picture does show a pair of shoes, with a wooden sole, which is nothing, and most people who can't afford to wear leather boots do it nowadays, but the front of this shoe is a whole piece of wood cut out of a place where you can put five toes in.

Li Xun couldn't think of what the two of them were going to do if they were made of such shoes and wood.

Zhang Xiaobao pulled Natu over and explained to Li Xun, "There are some broken stones in the fields of my house and the Wang family, if you go in barefoot like others, the feet of the Zhuang family will be finished, and it will be much better to wear these shoes, and you don't have to worry about being scratched, because in the mud, if the front is all wood, you can stick to the mud less." ”

Li Xun now understood, "Yes, you Zhuangzi feel sorry for the farmer, and you won't care about the bit of wood wasted, so what's going on with this plow, it seems to be no different from now." ”

Li Xun pointed to the diagram of the plough and asked, this diagram only changed the proportions in some places, and drew a grid in the handrail, if you don't look carefully, if you are not familiar with this aspect, you can't see any difference at all.

"This? This is a blind drawing, see if it can be used better, first make a batch of your own household use, you can tell others if it is easy to use, just tell this to Zhao Zhubo, Sanshui County can't always have no county order, Zhao Zhubo has always been in charge, since he can manage, why not let him be a county order? ”

Zhang Xiaobao also has plans for this, don't look at just a little bit of improvement, if you can improve the efficiency, then the whole spring ploughing, maybe you can plough the land again, the first time to plough the soil is to turn over the soil, and then it is to make the fertilizer better mixed with the soil.

Li Xun looked at the picture carefully, but he didn't see any difference, and his interest was much less, "Oh, then you guys do it first, if it's easy to use, I'll change it again in Zhuangzi." ”

After saying this, Li Xun said again: "The school has begun to be built, and they said that I should find some more people to join, and I was thinking about who to find." ”

"In such a hurry? Okay, Li Gongzi, you can find someone to join in, but you can't take out the money now and let them continue to invest money, are the documents of the three workshops and the three schools in accordance with what we said at the beginning, and they are in charge of us, not them? ”

Zhang Xiaobao knew through Li Xun's words that those people had no money, and the workshop had been doing odd jobs, but they had not sold anything, and the labor fees collected were not enough because the technology was not enough, so it would be a return to the capital, but the craftsmen had to give money, they also needed money to eat, and the apprentices they found also had to pay their wages.

Seeing that everyone's money is not much, and there are many people, it is said that it is 90,000 yuan, how can there be so many, a few days ago, I took 10,000 yuan out, those people have no money in hand, and if they don't find some people to join the gang, they will collapse, the dock has not been built yet, only a site has been rowed out, and then it will be delayed.

"Yes, that's how to sign, when they signed, they were still unwilling, and then I used the identity of the waiter, and said that after the dock was built, it would be theirs, so I signed it, who do you say I should find? How much to find? ”

Li Xun said the matter of the paperwork, and seemed to feel that it was not good to use his identity to suppress it.

Zhang Xiaobao already had a plan in his heart, and said: "If you are looking for someone, you must find it, but you can't find it in the way they say." ”
