Chapter 36: The Plough Is Wrong
"Shoutian, I've seen the young master soon."
The sturdy man named Shoutian was burying his head in pulling the plow, and when he heard Yu Bo's words, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and saluted Wang Xiang. Liu Shoutian is full of gratitude to Wang Xiang, a few days ago his son Liu Manchu was recruited to work in a wine shop, a month's salary is two taels of silver, I heard that there is a reward at the end of the month if it is done well. It is much easier to do things in the winery than farming, and two taels of silver a month is a high wage that ordinary farmers dare not imagine, as long as you save a few months of saving, you can help Manho marry a daughter-in-law, and the old house of the family can also be repaired, and many people in the village envy his family's good luck.
Wang Xiang didn't know Liu Shoutian's thoughts, waved his hand and said, "You come out, I'll try." ”
Liu Shoutian looked at Wang Xiang and then at Uncle Yu for some reason, and Uncle Yu said, "The young master wants to try pulling a plow." ”
"Huh?" Liu Shoutian was even more puzzled: "The young master wants to pull the plow?" ”
Seeing that Uncle Yu nodded, he hurriedly said, "I'll go to Xu Er and bring the cow here." ”
"No, I'll just try."
Li Zhi and Xiao Lori, who followed from behind, saw that Wang Xiang was about to pull the plow, and they also came forward curiously.
"Wang Jiancheng, what are you doing here?" Li Zhi has had a chance to see a plow plough ploughing the land since he was a child, and he thought that Wang Xiang had found something interesting.
Although Liu Shoutian didn't know Li Zhi's identity, he also knew that he was the son of a rich and noble family when he saw that he was gorgeously dressed, so he patiently explained: "Young master, this is going to pull a plow to plow the land." ”
"What do you do pulling a plow to plough the land, is it fun?"
Liu Shoutian was stunned when he heard this, and Uncle Yu was even more speechless, he didn't expect that there were people who were even more ignorant of farming than the young master.
Little Lori really couldn't see Li Zhi continuing to be stupid, so she pulled him over and whispered about farming, Li Zhi was already curious about it, and it was Little Lori who told him, so she listened very carefully.
"Why are the people working so hard to farm?"
"Of course, so if you become an emperor in the future, you will definitely be better to the people of the world."
Li Zhi wanted to say that the prince's brother would become the emperor, but for some reason he couldn't help but speak.
In his previous life, Wang Xiang also experienced life in a farmhouse, and the tour guide there taught him how to pull a plow one by one.
Wang Xiang triumphantly made preparations, moved his muscles and bones, straightened his waist in the expectant gaze of everyone, and then ......
And then there was no then, and the waist flashed, which scared everyone.
"Quick, help the young master sit down!"
There was no need for Uncle Yu to tell Liu Shoutian to step forward quickly to support Wang Xiang, who was grinning with his teeth, and carefully helped him sit down.
"Brother-in-law, are you alright?" Little Lori looked nervous, she was about to watch Wang Xianghu's body shake and pull the plow and run, but she didn't want to plow and didn't move, but the person fell, and it seemed that she was not lightly injured.
Li Zhi was even more frightened, and his mouth opened into an "O": It turned out that pulling a plow to plow the land was such a dangerous job. I have more sympathy for the people of Datang in my heart.
Wang Xiang, who was helped aside by Liu Shoutian and sat down, now has only one feeling, not pain, but shame......
Pulling a plow actually flashed his waist, especially when he saw Li Zhi's frightened look, Wang Xiang really had a kind of sadness about broken eggs, this little ghost will not have a psychological shadow on pulling a plow in the future, but fortunately, he doesn't have to pull a plow in his life.
The young master flashed his waist in his own field, Liu Shoutian was not lightly frightened, and shouted to someone to come over to help, Wang Xiang didn't even feel like the egg was broken, and it would be fine if he flashed his waist and rested, and he shouted that this matter would spread quickly.
The movements should be fast and the posture should be handsome. Wang Xiang remembered the trick of pulling the plough that the pit dad tour guide said in his previous life and burst into tears, at that time he didn't pit himself, but in the Tang Dynasty he pit himself fiercely, now think about the land at the door of the farmhouse I don't know how many times a day to be plowed by people, that ground is a deep footprint, can it be compared. Also blame Wang Xiang for his own trouble, pulling the plow should have started slowly, like him, he knew that he was pulling the plow, and he didn't know from a distance and thought it was a second goods playing in the field.
The young man flashed his waist and was good, but looking at the strange expressions of the villagers, Wang Xiang's mood really didn't improve.
It was not easy for everyone to believe that they were really fine, and Wang Xiang said to Liu Shoutian: "Bring me the plow." ”
When Liu Shoutian brought the plow in front of him, Wang Xiang suddenly realized and said to himself: "I see, not only the ground is wrong, but the plow is also wrong." ”
The farmers are confused, what is wrong with the plow?
Liu Shoutian had an idea and hurriedly said: "Young master, the plow is wrong, it caused the young master to twist his waist." ”
What kind of person did you really coax me like a child? Wang Xiang said depressedly: "I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that your ploughing is slow because the plough is wrong." ”
"Young master, what's wrong with this plow since ancient times?"
"This kind of plough is difficult to pull, and it is not easy to change direction after plowing all the way."
Yu Bo glanced at Wang Xiang unexpectedly, he saw him ploughing the land and flashed his waist and thought that he really didn't know how to farm, but he didn't expect that at this time he could say the shortcomings of the plow, I'm afraid that many farmers will not think about these problems.
A farmer wondered, "Isn't it all like this?" ”
Wang Xiang laughed and said, "I know a kind of plough that is much better than the plough you use now, that is, you can plow the land in two days at most without ploughing oxen." ”
"Two days?"
Liu Shoutian looked at his own land, and he didn't believe that he could plough it in two days, let alone plough his cattle.
"Does anyone in the village know how to strike iron?"
Hearing Wang Xiang's question, a farmer said: "Lao Ding is a good hand at striking iron, and he beats the farm tools on the village." ”
Lao Ding's iron-striking skills are exquisite, usually help the Zhuang on the village to make an iron pot kitchen knife or something, today just made a big pot and was about to take a break when he saw a group of people coming towards his blacksmith shop.
"Tiedan, don't stop, there's business coming to the door." Lao Ding's eyes are not very good when he is old, and he only sees people but doesn't know who they are.
Tie Dan is Lao Ding's son, his body is stronger than Cheng Chuliang, with bronzed skin, and his muscles are full of explosive power, when he heard Lao Ding's words, he stopped his hand and looked up at his apron, and said, "Dad, it's Uncle Yu who is here." ”
At first glance, I couldn't help but think of a person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei, the evil of the ancients, just by looking at the physique, I knew that he was a warrior who could fight with the rhinoceros bear and tiger.
It's a pity that this person didn't join the army.
"Uncle Yu."
The voice is not as fierce as it looks, but a little silly.
"Iron egg, are you in trouble today?"
Hearing Uncle Yu's ridicule, Tie Dan scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I accidentally broke two iron pots when I was striking iron today." ”
Lao Ding said angrily: "Iron striking requires skills, what is the use of brute force alone, I really don't know if my craft can be passed on." ”
All the villagers laughed when they heard this, obviously it was not the first time that Tie Dan had done such a thing.
"Uncle Yu, why are so many people here today?" Lao Ding also found that there were too many people coming, and it didn't look like he was going to hit something.
"It's the young master who is coming to get something."
"Young Master?" Lao Ding noticed Wang Xiang in the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, in fact, Lao Ding had a thought in his heart when he saw Wang Xiang, but when he heard Uncle Yu say that Wang Xiang wanted to hit something, he felt that it was better to do it first.
Wang Xiang didn't know what Lao Ding had in mind, so he smiled and said, "I came here today to ask you to help me build a plow, well, I don't need to rebuild it, just change the original plow a little." ”
As he spoke, two villagers carried the plough brought from Liu Shou's field and stepped forward, Tie Dan saw this and stepped forward and lifted the plow and put it on the iron felt next to him, and Wang Xiang secretly smacked his tongue at that casual look, and the two big men carried the plough that was both hard He lifted it with one hand, and it was very easy, and the strength was not ordinary.
Not only are the farmers curious about the Quyuan plow that Wang Xiang said, but Lao Ding is also very curious, he has beaten iron all his life, and he has beaten hundreds of plows, and he never knew that the plow has other looks.
Wang Xiang patiently explained the places that needed to be modified, and also drew the general appearance of the Quyuan plough on the ground, Lao Ding pondered for a long time, although he didn't know what the use of this change was, but he still made changes according to Wang Xiang's requirements. The plough is different from the iron pot and the kitchen knife, it takes a lot of effort to build, which gives the iron egg room to play, and the hammer of dozens of catties is the same as playing, and Lao Ding only needs to guide on the side.
The process of building is boring, Wang Xiang didn't plan to wait here, but took Li Zhi and Xiao Lori to a wine tasting workshop for a walk, a wine tasting workshop in addition to brewing a wine tasting also specially made a research room, Laifu This guy is now soaking in a wine tasting shop all day long seems to have forgotten his identity as a servant of the Hou Mansion, and also became a researcher, with a few people to tinker with the fruit wine Wang Xiang said.
Not to mention, it really made him look a little sour, although the taste was still a little sour, but looking at Li Zhi and Xiao Lori's surprised looks, Wang Xiang knew that success was not far away, and encouraged Laifu until the sun turned west, and then took Li Zhi and Xiao Lori back to Lao Ding's blacksmith shop.
At this time, the plough has been changed according to Wang Xiang's requirements, and the appearance of the plough is very different from the original, everyone is pointing around the plow, seeing Wang Xiang come back, Lao Ding pointed to the strange plow in front of him and asked: "Young master, can this plow really plow the land?" The dealer was also puzzled.
Wang Xiang laughed and said, "Not only can you cultivate the land, but you can also cultivate it quickly." ”。 So Tie Dan carried the plow, and the farmers followed Wang Xiang to prepare to test the plow.
At this time, Li Er had just come out of the Lizheng Palace, and saw a eunuch waiting outside the door, beckoning, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, just now there is news that the prince has just taken His Royal Highness King Jin to Zhuangzi outside the city, and he also made something called Quyuan Plow. ”
"Quyuan plow?"
Li Er nodded thoughtfully: "I heard that the crown prince and the king of Yue also went to the Marquis Linchuan Mansion for dinner recently?" ”
