Within a large family, it is very important to buy people's hearts.

The steward bought the hearts of the people, and his subordinates fully cooperated, so that they could do things handily and without making mistakes.

And if the owner has a high prestige after buying people's hearts, he can increase the cohesion of the family.

The subordinate stewards dare not deceive, and if someone inside does something to the master, someone will take the initiative to report the news.

The message will be very well-informed.

And some servants will be like the guards in the Jing Mansion now, in order to protect their masters.

In Jingfu, although Mrs. Jing is an elder, Jiang Long is the only male host.

Therefore, if Jiang Long can really establish his prestige, then Mrs. Jing's status in the mansion will naturally retreat to second place.

Jiang Long didn't know that Steward Li would have such a guess.

Old Madam Jing treats him very well, and he will not use such a method to compete with Old Madam Jing for power in the house.

After helping the tenant farmers up, Tian Dazhuang stepped forward and proposed: "Little master, it's better to put a plow on the oxen now, go to the field and plow the field, and let everyone stand on the edge of the field and take a look." ”

In the whole farm, only Tian Dazhuang's family used to raise cattle, and they drove the oxen to plow the land during spring ploughing.

Therefore, although these tenant farmers have not never seen oxen plowing the land, except for the only two or three families, the others have never paid for oxen to plow their own land.

This other people's domestic ox ploughing is naturally different from their own ox plowing.

When many tenant farmers heard this, they just looked at Jianglong with blank eyes.

Jiang Long nodded, "Okay, let's go to the field together to have a look." ”

When the sound landed, many tenant farmers applauded, and then hugged a herd of cattle and walked to the boundless farmland outside the village.

There were twenty-two cows in total.

Two bulls, twenty cows.

The two bulls are larger and stronger, while the cows are tall and short, some look stronger and fatter, and some are slightly thinner.

However, Tian Dazhuang's eyesight is excellent, although these cattle are fat and thin, their eyes are very bright, and their spirits are all very good.

Instructions are very healthy.

Walk out of the farm and come to the nearest farmland.

Tian Dazhuang stopped, and said in a loud voice: "This is the farmland rented by Uncle Guo's family, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." An old man in shabby linen clothes squeezed in from outside the crowd.

"Uncle Guo's son and daughter-in-law went early, and now they are farming with the old aunt to support their two grandsons, and life is difficult." Tian Dazhuang continued: "Why don't you be the first to plow the land for Uncle Guo's family cattle today?" Is it okay for the big guy? ”

"Good!"

"No problem."

"Uncle Guo is a good person."

The tenant farmers in a circle all spoke.

Old man Guo's moved eyes were red, and tears flowed down involuntarily, he wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, choked and said in a trembling voice: "Xiexie, Xiexie everyone!" ”

Originally, the old man Guo used manpower to plough the land, but there was no young and strong labor at home, and the ploughing was slow, and because of the weak strength of the old age, the ploughing was shallow, just turning up a thin layer of floating soil.

Tian Dazhuang has a plow for the ox at home, and Tian's wife has already taken it.

There was also a new batch, which was placed on the ground.

Skillfully put the plow on the ox, Tian Dazhuang just shook the long whip and gently slapped it on the bull's buttocks.

In this era, beef cattle were not cultivated to produce meat, and farmers raised cattle either for ploughing the land, or to put the cattle on carts and pull people to carry goods, so when the cattle were still young, they wore nose rings, and when they were working in the fields, let the calves always follow the big cows.

So there is no adult cow that will not plow the land.

If you catch a wild cow, you won't be so obedient.

The bull was struck and slowly moved forward to plough the field.

"These cattle have been taught to plow the land from elementary school, so when you use them in the future, you don't have to worry about the cows being disobedient, as long as the cattle are full, they will not be lazy and do not work...... However, we should also pay attention to the fact that although the ox has great strength, it is very good in endurance, and it must not be too fast when plowing, otherwise the ox will be tired of problems.

In the past, there were people who didn't understand this, and as a result, the cow was tired and foamed at the mouth, and died. ”

Tian Dazhuang is very familiar with using cattle to plow the land, and while driving cattle, he explained to the tenant farmers.

The tenant farmers, who had not ploughed the land with oxen, listened attentively.

Some of the timid ones had a look of unease.

It turns out that cows will be tired to death!

If you don't grasp this by then...... I can't afford it.

They are worried.

Of course, most people are elated and eager to try.

Tian Dazhuang told everyone for a while, that is, he asked a young man to teach him by hand.

Most of the young people are anxious, and the oxen are slow when they plough the land, so the young man always throws the whip at the ox's buttocks.

Tian Dazhuang explained impatiently.

After a while, the young man gradually mastered the rhythm, and suddenly smiled: "This is labor-saving to plough the land with oxen, you just need to follow the ox slowly." ”

And if you pull it yourself, not only will you be tired and sweaty, and your whole body will be soft, but also the shoulder of the plough can be rubbed off a layer of skin at the end of the day.

Tian Dazhuang saw that the young man had learned, and he set up a cow for others to teach.

Jiang Long stood aside and looked at it with a smile, the jade hairpin, and the treasure bottle were also very interested.

If they weren't worried that their shoes, socks and dresses would be covered with floating dirt and dust after going to the farmland, they would have to try it themselves.

After a while, Tian Dazhuang put all the twenty-two cows on a leashed and let the tenant farmers of the society use them.

He walked towards Jiang Long, but when he walked to the edge of the field, he suddenly frowned, first stepped on his feet hard, then bent down and grabbed a handful of floating soil, and then dug with his hands, and then called Old Man Guo over to inquire.

After asking, he stood up and raised his voice: "Uncle Guo has ploughed the ground a little shallow in the past few days, you can help plow the ground again." ”

Tian Dazhuang is a good hand at growing crops, and when he walks in the field, he can feel that the ground that Old Man Guo ploughed before is too shallow.

"Okay!" A young man replied loudly.

Old man Guo's eyes were red with emotion, and he wiped tears again and again.

He also wanted to plow the soil deeper, but relying on him, how could he have such strength, "Da Zhuang, uncle Xiexie you." ”

Tian Dazhuang grinned and said, "If the uncle wants to thank him, thank the little master." ”

"Well, it's the little master Xiexie." Guo Laohan nodded again and again.

It is not difficult to drive the ox to plow the field, the ox is very honest, will not run around, waving the whip to drive away, let stop and stop, nothing more than not too impatient, just steady.

Seeing Tian Dazhuang coming over, Jiang Long asked with a smile: "Except for the plow at your house, the rest are newly bought?" ”

"Hmm." Tian Dazhuang nodded.

"If you say it earlier, I'll pay the blacksmith to plow some plows."

These purchased plows were made of wood.

Tian Dazhuang panicked for a while, "It's a small self-determination." ”

"It's fine." Jiang Long waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be nervous, and continued: "Since you have already bought it, let everyone use it first."

Well, you go to the blacksmith shop in the neighborhood and make some of these pieces of iron. ”

Jiang Long said, bending down to pick up a branch and drawing a rough figure, which is roughly triangular.

Without Tian Dazhuang asking, he had already explained, "After beating this thing, install it on the plow, so that in the process of plowing, this piece of iron will turn the soil to the sides." ”

This piece of iron is actually a ploughshare.

Now the tenant farmers used ploughs, and with the addition of this piece of iron, they could be renamed ploughshares.

Tian Dazhuang knows how to farm, and when he understands the benefits, he nods again and again, and he has to leave immediately.

At this time, Steward Li suddenly ran over and asked, "Do you want to buy anything?" I'm going too. ”

Jiang Long had no objections, but he didn't expect Tian Dazhuang's face to turn black directly after seeing Steward Li.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Long was curious.

Tian Dazhuang just poured bitter water, "Little young master......"

It turned out that today Steward Li followed Tian Dazhuang out of the village to settle the surplus money and pull the adult cattle back, but he didn't expect that Steward Li would be extremely slammed, even if it was a copper plate, he had to fight for it on the basis of reason.

The cow to be brought today was originally given a fixed amount and the price was negotiated, but Steward Li said that the price offered before was too expensive and he had to reduce some of it.

Where can people be willing?

Those who sell cattle have to find Tian Dazhuang's theory.

Although Tian Dazhuang has a better mind, he is kind-hearted, kind and honest, and honest.

It is said that the price of haode, where can it be cut?

But he heard Jiang Long call Steward Li his uncle and grandfather, and he didn't dare to attack Steward Li.

In the end, he was scolded by the cattle sellers.

It was precisely because Steward Li had to bargain with others, that he had to fight for a penny, that they went out early in the morning and didn't come back until noon.

After Jiang Long heard this, he rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache.

He had long seen that Steward Li was such a person, but you can't say that Steward Li had done anything wrong.

People are also saving money for the house.

It's just a bargain, a difference in concept and style.

"In the future, you only pick the goods, and Steward Li will be responsible for negotiating the price." In the end, Jiang Long could only tell him so.

Tian Dazhuang responded with a swarthy face.

"Let's go." Steward Li raised his chin proudly and raised his hands.

The two were about to leave, but suddenly heard a panicked voice suddenly sound, "Oh no, old Uncle Guo, the old aunt fainted in the yard!" ”

Old man Guo, who was originally very happy because there were cows helping to plough the land, turned pale in shock when he heard this.

"Old Uncle Guo, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and go home and take a look."

A middle-aged man standing next to Old Man Guo was originally laughing and chatting with him, and reached out to push him.

Only then did the old man come back to his senses, and he ran home.

The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle are both kind-hearted, and their expressions are anxious.

Jiang Long also frowned, and was about to follow to take a look, when he suddenly heard Tian Dazhuang sigh.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Long stopped his pace and asked.

Tian Dazhuang glanced at Jiang Long, lowered his head again, and said hesitantly: "According to Xiao's guess, the old aunt of the Guo family should be, it should be ......"

"Hurry up and make it clear." Jiang Long drank cold.

"Yes." Tian Dazhuang was taken aback, "It should be the time for spring ploughing, but there is not much surplus food in Uncle Guo's house, and it is very hard and laborious to plough the fields with manpower, and you must have a full stomach, so the old aunt should give food to Uncle Guo and his two grandsons every meal, and she just drinks some soup."

In the past few days, I have been starving. ”

It's actually for starvation!

Jiang Long's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he walked briskly in the direction of Lao Guo Tou's house with many tenant farmers.

Seeing that Jiang Long's face was very unpleasant, Tian Dazhuang, Steward Li, Zheng Zhi, and Yang Qiang and others were all flustered, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

After a while, I came to the door of a low courtyard.

There are four rooms in the small courtyard, which is much more spacious than Yang Juhua's house.

However, it should be a decades-old house, far less new than Yang Juhua's house, and because it has not been cleaned up for a long time, some places on the wall have cracked cracks.

"The little master is here."

Someone saw Jiang Long and immediately took the initiative to avoid it.

Hearing the sound, the crowd ahead of you is to get out of the way.
