Chapter 35 Implementing the New Deal
The yard was noisy, laughing, talking, mixed with the sound of mooing cows.
"The village chief bought a cow! Check it out! ”
The melon egg is the most clever, as soon as he heard the voice, he knew what was going on, and hurriedly ran out to see the excitement, and the others also followed the hula and ran clean, and only Yun Yao and Da Niu were left in the house.
"Da Niu, you rest, I'll go and see it too." Yun Yao had only seen cows from a distance before, but now she was really curious, and couldn't help but go out with her.
The door was closed, and Da Niu was the only one left in the lively room just now, so angry that he slammed the kang hard.
There was no way, his injuries were not healed yet, so he could only lie down and listen to the excitement outside.
"Wow, this cow is so big!" Yun Yao couldn't help but exclaim when she got closer.
Li Xin smiled and brought in a tall ox and unloaded the board cart hanging behind. The cow is about the same height as an adult man, with thick bones and full muscles, I am afraid that he can have more than a thousand catties, and he looks very strong and mighty.
"Uncle Village Chief, how much silver did this cow cost? It looks so strong! I bought it from the county seat, right? An afterlife enviously reached out and touched the cow's neck.
"Haha, get out of the way, there's still one end." Li Xin smiled and pushed everyone away, and Li Qiang, who followed him to the county seat to sell bears, also brought in a cow.
This is also a scalper, smaller than the one just now, but with a bulging belly, it should be pregnant with a calf.
"Village chief, what are you buying this pregnant cow for? The cow will be born in a few months, and it will not be able to plough the field at all, and it will have to be fed with good grass and fodder. An old man who followed behind questioned.
"Haha, you know what! Don't make any noise, come and let a few people go to the back of the house and help me clear the cowshed. Li Xin smiled and was not angry at all, but very happy.
"The prince ordered that animal husbandry be encouraged, and all those who bought livestock and young animals were exempted, and only one cent of tax was charged on the sale and purchase. In the future, as long as one ploughing ox is left in each village, other livestock can be bought and sold at will. There are so many wastelands in our village, which are overgrown with grass all year round, and the little children who can't go to the field just go to graze, so they can raise a few cattle and sheep to subsidize them. ”
"Is there a reduction in buying cubs?" The old man suddenly became happy, "How much silver did these two cows cost?" ”
"Haha, you can't think of it, the price of a bull and cow, two cows are a total of 20 taels of silver, and the calves in the belly should all be picked up for nothing!"
"Quick, if you still have forage at home, hurry up and bring it, quickly lead the two cows over to rest, come back from the county and walk for a long time, don't tire the cows!"
Li Xin couldn't care about grinding his teeth anymore, and arranged everyone to do the work one by one, everyone looked at such a strong two cows, as if they saw hope, and they were full of energy.
"Dad, I'm going to herd cattle, count me in!" Erniu looked at the two cows enviously, broke free of Aunt Osmanthus holding his hand, and squeezed around in the crowd, and several other children who came to see the excitement were also excited.
"Okay, you're indispensable, now stand aside." Li Xin happily patted Erniu's head, and followed everyone to see the cowshed behind.
An old cow in the village last year finally couldn't hold on, and this year's land can't be cultivated, everyone is worried, and now there are two more cows at once, which is a great thing.
10 taels of silver for a cow, this is already a price controlled by Xiao Chuhan, but there are still many farmers who can't afford it. After listening to Yun Yao's proposal to encourage herdsmen, he simply expanded it to encourage farmers to raise livestock, and also used Yan Ji's father's relationship to transport a batch of livestock from the jurisdiction of the Divine King Palace, and was already on his way to Xiliang at this time.
At this time, he had hurried back to Xiliang Wangcheng and gathered his subordinates to discuss Yun Yao's proposal together, and everyone was very happy.
"Okay, you don't have to quarrel, this king has decided to add the Ministry of Agriculture in addition to the four departments, and Jiang Jianguang will be in charge of the household department first. Immediately select the statewide talents of knowing agriculture, and this king will see the effect this year. Xiao Chu glanced at the ministers standing with a cold face, stood up and walked into the apse.
How difficult it is to implement the new policy, but in order to create a new batch of official positions, these people are arguing non-stop, and how many people really care about people's livelihood and suffering?
When he was troubled, Yun Yao's smiling face appeared in front of him.
"Everyone works together, and the people of the Great Wilderness can live a good life." The laughter was cheerful and reassuring.
"Xiao Yun'er, don't worry, I won't give up." Xiao Chuhan lowered his eyes, and when he raised it again, his face was as usual.
"Someone, pass on the left and right prime ministers to come to see me quickly."
Xiao Chuhan worked hard for the people of Xiliang, but Yun Yao couldn't feel his hard work. She only knew that Wang Han must have met King Xiliang, and King Xiliang had also taken her advice.
Haha, now it's okay, you will get a lot of faith power right away, and Xueyin can also get more energy. If this prince implements composting in the whole state, it is estimated that he will be able to go out for a long time after the spring ploughing begins.
Yun Yao was in a very good mood when she thought of this, and when Li Xin pulled her to ask about Da Niu's condition, she smiled happily and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Da Niu's internal organs and bones are fine." The trauma will scab over in a few days, even if the back contusion is severe, I will also help him treat it every day. ”
"That's good, that's good!" Li Xin sighed with relief, "It's a blessing for all of us that you can come to our village. Don't worry, I'll go to the town for a trip in the next two days, and I'll help you get your household registration even if I send some silver. ”
"No need!" Yun Yao then remembered that she thought she would be able to return to modern times soon, and she didn't tell the village chief about the household registration documents.
"When I rummaged through my bag that day, I found a piece of paper from the mezzanine, which should be the household registration paperwork, and I will show it to you when you are done."
Do you have household registration papers? Li Xin was happy for her and disappointed for Da Niu. It's a pity, I thought I could take advantage of the situation to ask her to marry Da Niu. Such a girl with a good temperament and ability, it would be nice if she stayed! Now we have to find another way.
The cowshed behind the house was full of people, and Yun Yao didn't want to stay anymore after watching the excitement for a while.
Look at the sun, it's past noon at this time, Da Niu is sick and can't eat only two meals a day, she has to go to the kitchen to help.
Yun Yao entered the kitchen, Aunt Osmanthus was serving porridge from the pot, and when she saw her coming in, she had to ask about her condition again, until Yun Yao repeatedly assured that Da Niu was okay, and then she entered the West House with her rice bowl with confidence.
Don't look at the crowd here, everyone is busy, Yun Yao took Niuniu and Erniu to sit in her room, which can be regarded as helping.
"Niu Niu, give my sister a smile." Yun Yao put Niuniu on the kang and grabbed her two little feet to make a gesture of kicking the wheel, and Niuniu giggled out in novelty.
"Niuniu is so smart, let's stretch out our hands again, touch our heads, and salute my sister." Yun Yao took Niuniu's little hands and feet to take her to do passive exercises, and Niuniu giggled happily while moving.
"My sister is so cute, I like my sister." Er Niu looked at Xiao Niuniu on the side and couldn't help but like it more and more, and when she saw Yun Yao smiling, she hurriedly added, "I like my sister too!" ”
"Haha, my sister also likes Erniu!" Yun Yao was in a good mood when she got the good news, and she happily pinched Erniu's little face.
"Sister, sister, my father and mother said that you will not stay until you marry into our family. You wait a few more days, Erniu will grow up soon, will I marry you as a daughter-in-law? You don't want to go, Erniu is reluctant to let my sister go! ”
Erniu's childish children's words made Yun Yao laugh.
"Okay, my sister won't leave, wait for Erniu to grow up and marry me."
If she wants to leave, she will return to modern times, and she will never have any intersections with these people again, right? It's really reluctant to be this simple family.
Niuniu exercised for a while and then yawned and fell asleep, and Erniu pestered Yun Yao to tell stories again. Yun Yao was scared of being pestered by him these days, so she hurriedly hugged Niuniu with the quilt, and told Erniu to see that her sister couldn't fall to the ground, so she ran out under the pretext that she wanted to treat Da Niu.
Can't blame Erniu for pestering her, these villagers have no culture, speaking of it, it is the monster in the mountain, and there is the legend of the god and goddess king, where is the story of the monkey good? Erniu relayed the story to his friends, and he was about to be entangled to death by others.
Aunt Osmanthus fed porridge to the big cow, and when she saw Yun Yao coming in, she was busy wiping her son's mouth, so she excused herself to watch Xiao Niuniu walk out. She's going to create opportunities for these two children.
"Have you eaten?" Yun Yao looked at Da Niu with a smile.
"Well, I did." Da Niu was alone in the room for a long time before finally waiting for her to come in, and his signature smile couldn't help but show on his face again.
"Then take the medicine, I'll pour you water." Yun Yao looked at his complexion and knew that his injuries were sure to be fine, and now he just had to take care of it, and his heart was also happy.
It's best to cure the big cow completely before you leave the wilderness, so that you won't leave regrets.
Poured a cup of warm water and gave Da Niu a white medicine, and let him eat a spoonful of deer antler powder, Yun Yao stuffed the bottle of deer antler powder under his pillow.
"You put this away and eat a spoonful by yourself every day when you eat, it's good for your injury."
"yes, got it." It seems that Xiaoyun will not come over every time he eats in the future, and Da Niu suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.
"Close your eyes and lie down for a while, and I'll make you a warm compress." Yun Yao turned around and went out to fetch water, and the bit of loss in Da Niu's heart suddenly dissipated again.
Doing hot compresses, those little hands are really warm and crispy on the back, even if the injury on the back is serious, it is much more comfortable to be massaged twice by her.
Da Niu lay on the bed for another three days, and after a bottle of white medicine was eaten up, he refused to take it again, and only asked Yun Yao to help him massage hot compresses every day, and he was soon able to sit up from the bed.
The wound on his chest had scabbed over and was very uncomfortable. You Yunyao didn't dare to scratch him when he saw him, so he had to endure it. The bruise on his back had subsided a lot, and now except for the worst part, there was still some green, and all that was left was red.
At noon that day, Yun Yao was getting hot water to continue today's massage for Da Niu, but two errand officials suddenly walked in outside the door.
"Who is Xiaoyun? Come with us! ”
