Chapter 36 The county commander Hu Wucang, a dear friend
Peixian County Temple.
The so-called county temple is the county government of later generations, but the shape is completely different from what is shown in the film and television drama. What catches your eye is the earthen screen, which is also known as the futong. There is also a row of typesetting characters written on it in small seals, all of which are common Qin laws.
In the inner hall sits a middle-aged man with a short sagittal beard. He wears his hair in a bun, wears a long crown of double plates, and has a black tassel under his chin. A black ribbon hangs around his waist, and a copper seal is tied.
This is the county magistrate of Peixian County-Hu Wucang, and his eldest brother is Hu Wujing, the Taishi of Qin. Later, because the performance was okay, coupled with Hu Wujing's recommendation, it became the county order of Pei County.
Over the years, the political achievements have not been up or down, not to be considered to steal the limelight, and not to be eliminated at the bottom. It can be regarded as polite, and the wealthy families in Pei County are good, and of course they are not less profitable.
"Hasn't the county order met a happy event these days?"
"Of course." Hu Wucang smiled and said proudly: "I have a friend who has forgotten the year and encountered some trouble in Shanfu County, saying that he may have to come to Benling's house in a few days to avoid the limelight. ”
"This ......"
The subordinate officials wanted to speak and stopped.
What kind of happy event is this?
"Whatever is in your heart, this decree knows." Hu Wucang smiled faintly and continued: "My best friend still has two unmarried daughters, both of whom are stunning beauties in the local area. If he comes to Pei County for refuge as a guest this time, he can take advantage of the situation to propose his marriage. ”
"I see!"
The subordinate officials suddenly realized.
Two years ago, Hu Wucang's original wife died of illness. It hasn't been renewed all these years, and there is only a concubine room. Some people have also secretly discussed it, and they all think that he has a very good relationship with the original partner, so Hu Wucang would rather be single than continue the strings. Now it seems that this guy has been eyeing people's daughters for a long time!
Hu Wucang's eyes were bright, as if he was imagining a better future, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Five years ago, his daughter was already a beautiful embryo. Now that I think about it, I am getting more and more out of the Peugeot, and if I can hug the beauty, I will be content with this order. ”
"It's not hard for the prefectural order to think about it."
"It's not that easy."
Hu Wucang waved his hand.
His best friend is not simple, and he is the best at giving faces. Coupled with his extraordinary family background, he may not be able to look down on his small county order. He heard that it was because the son of the county guard of Dangjun liked his daughter, but people didn't agree. So, I offended the county guard like this.
What's more, the man's vision was extremely high. His most outrageous daughter said early on that she would marry a capable man who could be truly rich and noble. Now he can't even look down on the county guard, so what level does it have to be to enter his eyes?
"There's no urgency in this matter for the time being." Hu Wucang looked at his subordinates puzzled, "But you are in such a hurry, what is the matter?" ”
"This is presented by the main official Peng Xiaojun."
"Xiao He?"
Hu Wucang was stunned.
Xiao He is the most capable county official under him, talented, steady, humble and gentle. The Xiao family is a wealthy family in Pei County, and Xiao He is the patriarch. He didn't win over Xiao He a lot, but people didn't eat this set at all, but just maintained a relationship that was about to leave. It seems to be close, but it is actually a hypocritical politeness.
"What's the matter with him?"
"It is said that the head of the Surabaya Pavilion picked up a silk silk in the mountains a few days ago, and a strange plough was painted on it. The pavilion chief felt a little strange, so he asked the temple craftsman to help create it. After testing, it was found that this thing was actually a sharp tool for agricultural development, which was much lighter than the plough used today. ”
"Surabaya Pavilion Chief...... Is it Cao Xiu?! ”
"Exactly."
Bang!!!
Hu Wucang slapped the table and jumped up.
It turned out to be this Cao thief!
Did you pick it up from the mountains?
Why can't others pick it up, but you can't pick it up?
Hu Wucang knew with his toes that this was definitely Cao Xiu's excuse. The so-called plough must have been designed by Cao Xiu himself, but it was inconvenient for him to show up as a Qin official, so he found such a reason.
However, Hu Wucang is very strange.
What is Cao Xiu's purpose in doing this?
Want to be knighted with this?
He had intended to promote Cao Xiu to be a townsman, but he refused. As for Cao Xiu's political achievements, it is simply an exemplary example of a pavilion-level cadre in Pei County, and he can be promoted to a knighthood early.
Could it be that this guy finally came to his senses?
"Quickly inform Xiahou that the baby is ready to go to the Surabaya Pavilion in this order!"
"Yui!"
The subordinate officials did not dare to delay, and hurriedly made a resignation.
……
……
Surabaya Pavilion, at noon. The farmland is crowded with people at the moment. This excitement is almost catching up with the usual social festival.
"It's very light."
"Hehe, Naigong can carry the two!"
"I tried it just now, and it didn't take much effort to carry a plow."
"Effortless? You plough two acres of land and try it! ”
"The second and third sons don't need to say much." Mrs. Liu leaned on crutches and said with emotion: "This plough is indeed a sharp tool for rejuvenating agriculture. The second and third sons have also tried, and they are much stronger than the previous plow. Pavilion chief, can you try to use the field ox to pull the plow? ”
"No problem."
Cao Xiu smiled and waved.
Qin Shi Huang and Wang Jian stood in front of the ridge, carefully examining the plough. They never imagined that the plough would be so useful. In particular, the addition of adjustable ploughshares allows you to choose between deep ploughing or shallow tillage. The ploughshare is made of iron and has a V-shape, which can be used to reduce the amount of effort when plowing the land.
In those years, the cultivated land mainly depended on field cattle, but one cow was divided among several households. If you offend Lizheng, you will definitely get it in the end. The life of an ox is more valuable than the life of a person, and there are three times to eat and drink. You have to rest for three days after one day, but you can't be tired and thin, this is to be flogged!
Because the plough is too heavy, it is difficult to carry the plough by manpower. It often takes two or even three people to barely farm. Therefore, some people simply use the most primitive plough to plough the land, which is faster than the man-carried plow.
The emergence of the curved plough can change the status quo.
It is not too much to say that it is a sharp weapon for rejuvenating agriculture!
Such a great achievement is enough to make Cao Xiu's title soar!
Fan Xu personally brought the cattle to Cao Xiu, and then carefully put the cow on the plow. He waved a willow branch and was responsible for directing in the back.
This cow is the private property of Cao Xiu, and it is an extremely sturdy Qinchuan ox. Just like that, a cow is worth 6,000 yuan, and Cao Xiu can directly buy two small slaves.
Don't look at Fan Xu as just a dog slaughter, but he is born with divine power. When he was in military service, he was quite brave, and he was deeply valued by the superior generals, and he wanted to keep him in the army, but he was rejected by Fan Xu.
He has a very good relationship with Cao Xiu, and after hearing that he made a quyuan plow, he naturally had to come over to cheer him on. At this moment, Fan Xu was shirtless, with a fierce and vicious appearance, and a few timid children only dared to hide behind their parents.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Fan Hao shouted and the trumpet moved.
Everyone's eyes fell on the Quyuan plow.
Even if you have the answer in your heart, you want to see it with your own eyes.
How much faster can the curved plow be speeded?!
