Chapter 119
After Haosheng sent the village chief away, the family returned to the house with doubts.
"You have a chance to ask Xie Zhan about this."
I have experienced a lot of things these days, and Father Ming is not the little white who didn't know anything about it at the beginning, he somewhat understood the darkness between some nobles.
I couldn't help but start to wonder in my heart, could it be that Xie Zhan was entrusted to someone else?
Could it be that the method of cultivating wasteland at a low price has been mastered by the aristocracy?
If this is the case, why would Mingxiu bother to dedicate this method?
The aristocracy was rich enough, and the method of cultivating land at a low price was only the icing on the cake for them, and the common people who could not eat and had no land to grow were the real needs
With Xie Zhan's identity, if he really wanted to do it purely for the people, there should be few people who could stop him.
Unless......
Xie Zhan himself is one of the beneficiaries.
Father Ming didn't want to guess Xie Zhan's mind with dark thoughts, he just wanted to ask about the situation.
He was a peasant, and all his ideas were naturally for the good of those who had worked as hard as they had before.
Ming's mother was a little more careful, "You don't have to ask specifically, just ask when you see Xie Zhan next time, let's just know what's going on." ”
When they came to the capital, they realized how small their family was, and if they really encountered injustice, they would not be able to resist at all.
Xie Zhan looks pretty good now, but who knows if he will be annoyed and angry after asking about it?
Ming's father and mother always want to see Mingxiu's good.
Seeing them so cautious, Mingxiu was sad and couldn't cry or laugh in her heart.
If she is more useful as a daughter, why should parents be so careful?
In the end, it's because she's not strong enough.
Mingxiu secretly made a decision in her heart, she would definitely not let herself and her family be left to the mercy of others.
After settling down with the basics, the family began to take care of the land.
Although it is good land, according to the seller, it has not been cultivated for more than a year, and now the grass in the field is two feet high, and the first thing to do is to weed the land in order to plant it in the middle of summer.
At this time, there was no herbicide, and Mingxiu knew that she was not good at learning, and there was no way to make herbicides without any equipment, even if she knew the formula.
Everything can only be done manually.
Neither is it.
They still have cows.
Wait a minute......
Cattle?!
Mingxiu suddenly remembered that if you loosen the soil and plough the land, there is actually a plow that can be used!
At this time, the most primitive ploughs were used, and even the curved plough did not appear, and the time cost of ploughing was very high.
Before, Ming's father had always done the ploughing, and she and Ming's mother could only do some logistics work, when she was in Tubao Village, she kept gossiping every time she went out, and over time, she was too lazy to go to the field, which she didn't realize until now.
Mingxiu was in a trance, she seemed to realize the way to make money.
"What are you thinking?" Ming's mother frowned slightly, why did this girl start to stay stunned again.
Although she doesn't count on things in the field, it's okay to help fight it, she and Ming's father have called Mingxiu for a long time, but she still hasn't reacted at all, Ming's mother can't help but wonder, it shouldn't be the time when they were taken away, Mingxiu was stimulated by something.
Mingxiu came back to her senses and looked at her father with sparkling eyes, "Dad, is your previous set of carpenter's tools still there?" ”
She remembered that Ming's father was a little carpenter, and although he was not proficient, he was able to make do with the bedboard that was basically used at home.
Quyuan plow......
Shouldn't it be difficult, right?
She had a rare diagram in her head, but it wasn't very detailed, and she had to study it.
"It's still there, it's made of iron, how can you just throw it away?"
At this time, iron is a precious metal, not to mention the scarcity, it is difficult to buy, and a set of farm tools can be used for several generations by ordinary farmers!
Although life was already very good when they left Tubao Village, the habit of thrift and thrift still prevented Ming's father from discarding the carpenter's tools.
"That's good, Dad, let's go cut down a tree first."
She remembered that there was also pen and ink in the baggage, and she took the wood and studied it a little bit, so she should be able to study it, right?
"Weed well, and then play with you when your dad is done with business." Ming's mother looked at her daughter unhappily, and then said that when she grew up, she loved to play like she was a child.
No matter how Mingxiu explained that this was not play, Ming's mother didn't believe it, and pressed her to do the work first.
Ming's father was a little soft-hearted, but he didn't dare to touch her moldy head.
can only cast a sympathetic gaze on Mingxiu.
Well, do the work, do the work.
Mingxiu honestly did the work in the field, and after Ming's mother said that she could rest, she jumped up and ran back to the room to find out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Is Xiu'er angry?"
Ming's mother carefully pulled her husband, although there was nothing wrong with letting Mingxiu do the right thing first, but Mingxiu was just a little girl in the end, she was all temperamental, she wanted to teach her daughter, but she didn't want to affect the relationship between mother and daughter.
Glancing at Mingxiu's direction, Ming's father was helpless, "Where is Xiu'er so careful?" I think she's just tired, go into the house and rest for a while, if you don't worry about going to see it yourself. ”
These words happened to reach Ming's mother's heart, and she didn't say a word, and went directly into the house.
Seeing that Mingxiu was lying at the desk and didn't know what she was drawing, she quietly stepped forward.
"Xiu'er, what are you doing?"
Mingxiu was taken aback, the soft pen in his hand shook, and the drawings that were about to take shape were ruined.
Looking back, seeing that it was her mother, Mingxiu couldn't lose her temper, so she could only say helplessly: "I want my father to make something, isn't this drawing drawings?" ”
After drawing the drawings for half an hour, it was almost formed, although Mingxiu was not angry with his mother because of this, but there was still crying and laughing.
Ming Mu blinked innocently, "What is this?" ”
She couldn't see the slightest meaning.
Naturally, after all, Ming Mu doesn't know how to work as a carpenter, and if she sees the finished product, she can't see any clues.
Mingxiu sighed slightly, "You'll know when my dad makes it." ”
Now even if you want to explain, you can't explain it, Mingxiu himself actually doesn't understand it, it's naturally a good thing to be able to study this thing, if you can't study it, it will be a family to relieve boredom.
However, one thing that Mingxiu can be sure of is that even if it is not researched, the things made are still better than the current ones.
Ming's mother didn't force it anymore, and after seeing that Mingxiu didn't mean to be angry, she quietly retreated.
Although Mingxiu didn't say what she was doing, Ming's mother could still feel that this should be the right thing.
