"I'll help the young master ......" Bai Zhihan's face was like a burning cloud, and he whispered a few words in his ear.

Zuo Shaoyang immediately smiled: "Is this true? ”

"Hmm......" Bai Zhihan replied shyly.

"Now I want it!" Zuo Shaoyang reached out to untie his pants.

"Young Master!" Bai Zhihan slapped his hand lightly with shame and anger: "In broad daylight, people come and go on the official road!" ”

"It's okay, it's raining!"

"Evening, how is the evening? Now let's think about who caused Sister-in-law Qin! ”

This sentence made Zuo Shaoyang immediately stop: "Yes, who is it?" ”

"Or, go and ask Zhao Sanniang, didn't she sleep in my room that night, maybe I don't know what I heard."

"That's right!" Zuo Shaoyang said, "Go back and ask Zhao Sanniang!" ”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the rain, swinging the curtain of the car, and the rain drifted into the carport, drenching the two of them.

At the moment when the curtain of the car floated up, Zuo Shaoyang saw through the rain curtain that in the rice fields on the side of the road, farmers were working in the fields wearing hats and robes.

The curtain fell, blocking the view, Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "It's a pastoral scene, it's really ...... Hey? ”

Zuo Shaoyang remembered something, lifted the curtain of the car suddenly, poked his head out, and looked at the farmers in the field: "What are they doing?" ”

Bai Zhihan also lay on his back from behind, and looked out: "What's wrong?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang pointed to the field: "What are they doing?" ”

In the field, the farmers were braving the rain and holding sickles to cut the half-grown rice in the field. Bai Zhihan said: "It's nothing! ”

"Nothing!" Zuo Shaoyang pointed at the farmers, "The rice hasn't set ears yet, what are they doing cutting the rice now?" ”

Bai Zhihan leaned back and forth with a smile: "Young master, you still said that you can farm, why don't you even know this,—— they are hoeing grass!" ”

"What?" Zuo Shaoyang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, "Hoe grass? Hoeing the grass and cutting the rice together? What kind of hoe is this? ”

Bai Zhihan laughed and tears came out: "That's the case, there is a kind of weed called barnyard that grows in the rice field, which looks very much like rice, and it can't be distinguished at all, so you can only wait for the rice to grow half high, and then cut off the rice and weeds such as barnyard together, and then release water to flood the field, overflowing weeds such as rice and barnyard weeds, rice is not afraid of water, so it will not be drowned, and weeds such as barnyard weeds are submerged in water, and they will soon die and rot, and they can be weeded." - I don't know how to farm, but I still know the basics. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Weeding like this, the rice is halfway grown and then cut, and then it grows again, isn't it useless to grow in front?" I'm afraid this will affect the harvest, right? ”

"It's better than no weeds."

It's slash-and-burn! Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself. He didn't know that in the early Tang Dynasty, in a place like Hezhou where rice was grown, because the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were few people in the field, the demand for intensive cultivation was not strong, and this simple method of water raking was used to weed, although this had a great impact on grain production, but it was simple and easy.

Although tens of thousands of people have migrated from Hezhou, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been disarmed and returned to the fields, the situation of a small number of people in the land has been greatly alleviated, and there is even a surplus labor force to a certain extent, but this farming method that has been cultivated for thousands of years has not yet been reformed.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "I have a better way to hoe the weed, it's not like this, hoeing the grass should be done with the claws, the weed, and the rice 'three Laos, three swings, and three digging', instead of cutting it like this!" ”

Bai Zhihan stopped laughing, in the past, many people, including the Li family brothers, who were veteran farmers, laughed at Zuo Shaoyang's new method of farming, and later proved that the new plough and irrigation overhead cart he invented were all effective things, who would dare to say that these hoeing tools he is talking about now can't work? If it is more convenient to hoe the grass and keep half of the rice grown, why cut it off and grow again to affect the grain production?

Zuo Shaoyang really wanted to go down to stop them from hoeing like this, but he hadn't come up with alternative hoeing tools yet, so he couldn't convince these croppers, and besides, so many fields and so many people were hoeing with this backward method, how many people could he convince?

Bai Zhihan said: "Young master, if you don't wait to return to Hezhou, you recruit some people to come and see you hoeing, I believe that if everyone sees that your method is effective, they will definitely learn from you." ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded: "This is okay, but if you want to change their working habits for thousands of years, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a year or two." Take your time. ”

"You can call the medicine cabinet and the shopkeeper Yu to help you promote your tools!"

"Well, you can try. Let's go back and talk about it. This kind of thing is not urgent. ”

The rain was light, and the number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road in the rain gradually increased, and the first carriage on the front of the carriage did not know what happened after Sang Mu kept the enema, but according to the fact that Sang Daddy did not have a special reaction, Sang Mu should not be dead yet. There is hope if you are still alive.

The coachman hurried his horses and finally arrived at Hezhou City in the evening.

Sang's mother is very critically ill and may die at any time, Zuo Shaoyang used the retention enema method, I don't know how long it can be delayed, the Sang family begged Zuo Shaoyang to keep Sang's mother in the Zuo family's ward. Zuo Shaoyang agreed, so the group came directly to Zuo's house.

In the past two months, Zuo Gui's father and Liang's father have been able to get Zuo Shaoyang's diagnosis in Longzhou from the medicine cabinet from time to time, so they are not very worried, but they are very relieved to hear the news that Zuo Shaoyang has cured many people. Now that Zuo Shaoyang suddenly came back, the second elder was surprised and delighted.

Miao Peilan smiled even more, and pulled Zuo Shaoyang to ask long and short questions.

After Zuo Shaoyang placed Sang Mu in the women's ward, he took out the beautiful fabrics, various sweets and snacks and some gadgets bought from Longzhou as gifts and distributed them to the second elder, Miao Peilan and other Miao family members and the old lady of the Qu family.

Zuo Shaoyang took out dozens of dollars earned in the past two months and put it away for his mother Liang. The second elder was very surprised, and he didn't expect that he had only been there for two months, and he had made dozens of dollars.

Zuo Shaoyang was afraid that they would misunderstand, and explained that part of it was a gratuity and deposit for helping people do the medicinal herb business, and the second elder was relieved and felt that his son was becoming more and more promising.

Zuo Gui heard that Sang Mu's edema disease had recurred, and she was already critically ill, so she didn't need to ask and knew that it must be because she was thinking about money, although her Sang Xiaomei was likely to become her son's concubine, but she really didn't want to see her, so she didn't even want to visit.

Zuo Shaoyang was most worried about hoeing in the field, so he took the time to ask Miao Peilan: "Lan'er, is the field hoeing?" ”

"Not yet." Miao Peilan smiled, "In a hurry? I'll hoe tomorrow,—— a few days ago, Brother Li and the four brothers rushed to turn over the soil and fertilize our wasteland, thinking that we wouldn't be in a hurry anyway, so we dragged it down. They haven't hoeed yet. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "It's just right that you don't hoe, by the way, how are you going to hoe the grass?" ”

Miao Peilan didn't understand what he was referring to for a while, and her big eyes blinked and looked at him.

"I'm just asking, how do you hoe the grass, did you cut the grass with the rice, and then blistered it?"

"yes. Isn't that right? ”

"That's not right! Don't hoe like that! In this way, the rice yield is not high. Tomorrow I'll teach you a new way to hoe! Although it is more troublesome than this, the effect is much better, and it does not affect the grain production. ”

"What's the solution?"

"I'll know tomorrow, I'm going to build some new hoeing tools tonight." Zuo Shaoyang said to Ding Xiaosan, the shopkeeper: "You hurry out of the city now, help me call Brother Li back, and entrust him to help me make a few new farm tools tonight." ”

Ding Xiaosan agreed and ran away.

Li Dazhuang rushed into the city before closing the city gate and came to Guizhi Hall. Zuo Shaoyang has already drawn several agricultural tools commonly used for cultivating and hoeing grass in modern rural areas, and asked him to make ten sets of each according to each one.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't care about investigating Huang Qin's affairs, first told his parents about marrying Bai Zhihan, and then said, Sang Mu didn't know how long she could suffer, so she had to hurry up and finish this matter, so that Nasang Xiaomei would pass the door, so as not to wait for three years.

Therefore, after finishing the matter of painting farm tools, Zuo Shaoyang took Bai Zhihan to the small mansion of the Qu family's old mansion where his father Zuo Gui and mother Liang lived, and solemnly told the second elder that he had decided to marry Bai Zhihan.

The old couple was pleasantly surprised, smiling, and even claiming that it was good, Liang even took Bai Zhihan's hand, kept saying his son's surname Ren, and told Bai Zhihan that he must take good care of him after passing through the door.

This sentence hooked Bai Zhihan's worries, glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, and said in a low voice: "The young master is very assertive, and he doesn't need a slave to come up with ideas." ”

Zuo Gui's father stroked his beard and said: "As long as what you say is right, if he doesn't listen, come and tell us, and we will discipline him!" ”

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

"What don't you dare, as long as you are for his good, you can rest assured and boldly say that if he is obviously not doing something right, you still let him and indulge him to make mistakes, it is not good for him, but harmful to him! Do you understand? ”

"Slave maid understands......" Bai Zhihan said with a blushing face and bowing her head.

Liang said: "You will be a young lady in the future, don't always be a slave and a slave." ”

"You haven't passed the door yet...... Bai Zhihan replied shyly.

Zuo Gui's father said: "That's right, it's okay to change your words after you have passed." ”

"Yes, sir."

Liang wiped Bai Zhihan's black and sloppy face that was made gray and sloppy by the pot ash again, glared at Zuo Shaoyang complainingly, and said, "Look what you asked Zhi'er to make this face look like?" ”

Bai Zhihan hurriedly said: "It's not what the young master said, it was Zhi'er who made it herself, because if you don't do this, it will affect the diagnosis." ”

"Nonsense!" Liang said angrily, and glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, "It must be Zhong'er's ghost idea, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law is beautiful, and people will suffer a loss if they look at it more?" Hum! People can't ask for such a beautiful daughter-in-law, you're good, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law is too beautiful, so I have to make my daughter-in-law look like a flower child to be happy? ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "I didn't mean that......"
