0377 Let others suffer
Whether it was the stewards with different minds or the tenant farmers present, they were all curious about the new plough brought by Su Jinli.
Although the tenant farmers had never studied, they also knew that if they wanted to do their jobs well, they must first sharpen their tools.
Even if they can't say such a word, it makes sense.
The substitute cultivator that Su Jinli asked people to build before had already made them realize the benefits of tools. Now, they are looking forward to what Su Jinli took out.
Moreover, ploughing pears is different from fertilizer, which may poison seedlings and acres, but pears will not.
Just drag it into the field and pull it once, and you can see immediately whether it is good or bad.
Because of Su Jinli's words, the tenant farmers didn't dare to rest assured about the new fertilizer.
So they are even more concerned about the efficacy of the new plow. If the new plough works well, they can feel more at ease.
The ploughing pears were quickly moved into the field, and the cultivator was quickly erected.
The tenant farmers are now proficient in operating the tillage frame, and the three captains took the initiative to try the plough pears themselves.
Among them is Zhao Erniu.
Su Jinli agreed.
So Zhao Erniu personally helped the ploughing pear, and the remaining two people turned the wheels at both ends.
The three of them shouted in unison, "One, two, three, start!" ”
With the rotation of the wheel, Zhao Erniu pushed the ploughing pears and quickly turned over the soil.
He was not used to it at first, and he did not plough deeply, but he was a good plougher, and soon mastered the new ploughing pears, and the ground became deeper and deeper.
When he pushed the ploughing pear to the end, Su Jinli asked them to stop.
"Tell me, how does this plow work?"
After all, there is still some difference between the cultivator and the ploughing ox, and the deep plough plough means that the resistance is greater.
It is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to use people to pull.
"Zhao Erniu, you say it first."
Zhao Erniu didn't expect Su Jinli to remember his name, and after being named, he became nervous.
At the same time, I can't help but get excited.
He said in a loud voice, "Master Su, this plough is too deep, and the small one thinks it is very easy to use!" ”
Su Jinli couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw him so excited.
In her opinion, the plow was really nothing.
It's not comparable to machinery.
However, it was such a ploughing pear that was too backward for her, and it was already a good thing like an artifact for people at this time.
This was the case with Du Ziteng before, and now these tenant farmers are like this.
Excited people, how can Zhao Erniu be the only one?
Su Jinli found that even those stewards who had been at odds with her were all looking at the set of pears with burning eyes at this time.
She secretly thought it was funny, and asked, "Do you think it's laborious to use?" ”
Zhao Erniu said indifferently, "It's more laborious than the original plow, but the small ones are doing hard work, it's just a little more effort, it's not a big deal." ”
They are all poor people, so why do they care about putting in a little more effort?
As long as the land is planted well, the harvest is more abundant, and they can feed the family, they will be satisfied.
Su Jinli looked at the other two again, both of them were so excited that their faces were flushed, and before Su Jinli could ask, the two couldn't wait to open their mouths.
"It's harder, but this plow ploughs deeper and is better than the previous plow."
"Master Su, can we all use such a plow in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, all the tenant farmers looked at Su Jinli.
Su Jinli nodded: "I have already ordered someone to step up the construction of a new plow, and you can all use it in the future." You use this plough in rotation first, and try the effect.
Someone will come over later, and if you have any ideas in the future, you can just tell him. ”
When the stewards heard this, they were shocked by Su Jinli's generosity again.
A set of ploughs may not cost much, but if there are many of them, the cost is not small!
If you put so much money into it, when will you get it back?
The stewards looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly slander this person in their hearts that in order to please the prince, he really made a bloody investment!
Su Jinli didn't stay in Zhuangtian for a long time, she personally saw the effect of the plough, and knew that those tenant farmers didn't care about spending more effort, so she returned to the palace with cinnabar and peace.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Ping'an couldn't help but ask, "Princess, do you really want to give them so many ploughs?" That's too expensive! ”
When Cinnabar heard this, she couldn't help but look at Su Jinli.
In fact, she also felt that it was too expensive to build so many ploughs.
Su Jinli smiled, "I said I wanted to build it, but did I say that I would give it to them for free?" They will use ploughs in the future, and they will naturally get money. ”
Tenant farmers are not the same as hired farmers, they pay rent, and the rest is theirs.
The hired farmer took the money to work, and in the end all the harvest was hers.
Naturally, the treatment is different.
If all the farm implements were provided free of charge to the tenant farmers, it would only give them an inch of gain and encourage unhealthy tendencies.
However, with so many tenant farmers, she didn't plan to just let them farm.
Like poultry or something, you can raise it first.
The current breeding industry is still too backward, and there are not many people who raise pigs.
It's just that many things need lard to make.
For example, soap, toothpaste, and even lipstick require lard.
She has not been put into production because of the lack of raw materials.
However, at this time, the pigs grew too slowly, and there was not enough fat.
I have to think of some ways to get some pigs from Fanbang to breed and crossbreed some varieties with more fat.
Modern people have a good diet, and they will feel too tired when they eat fatty meat, so they prefer to eat lean meat.
The ancients were different.
Most people rarely even eat eggs, and the nutrition can't keep up at all, so they prefer fatty meat to lean meat.
If she can make people cross the varieties with more fat and grow faster, she won't have to worry about raw materials in the future.
Su Jinli thought of this and silently wrote it down.
However, Fanbang is too far away, and I don't know how long it will take to transport the breeding pigs.
So there is no urgency in this matter, so I can only take my time and let people raise more pigs first.
Ping An didn't know Su Jinli's thoughts, and when she heard her say that she would collect money, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Or the princess is thoughtful, the slave maid thought that the princess was going to suffer a loss this time, and she was really scared to death by the slave maid." ”
Cinnabar chuckled: "How can the master suffer?" You've been with your master for so long, don't you know who your master is? ”
The master of their family is never a person who will suffer, only a loss for others.
Su Jinli said lightly, "Okay, it's good that you know." He'an, go and ask the butler to come over, and say that I have something to do with him. ”
After she left safely, she said to Cinnabar, "Cinnabar, Zhuangtian and the farm, I want you to put more thought into it." Especially the farm, which is a test field that I am optimistic about, and I can't afford to lose it, you know? ”
