Chapter 547: Teaching People to Use Tools
Farming in the era when there were no machinery was actually a particularly hard thing.
Because, almost everything depends on manpower, at most there are cattle to rely on.
However, ordinary people, there may not be a single cow in a village.
So, they will only be more tired.
Even if there is a seeder now, it is still carried by manpower, even if Xiao Nianzhi has compressed its material as much as possible to make it light and easy to operate.
However, it is undeniable that it still bears some weight, plus the seeds used for sowing, and it is also a bit of a load.
For ordinary people who have been farming for many years, these burdens may not be nothing.
After all, when there was no seeder, they either carried baskets or carried baskets on their backs, and sowed manually, and at that time, their load was not low.
With the addition of a seeder, the weight does not increase much, but it improves their efficiency, Xiao Nianzhi feels that they should be willing to accept it.
For ordinary people, it is not a burden, but for the people who use the pen every day......
Well, that's a heavy burden!
The question is, can they say no?
His Majesty had asked them about their wishes, and knew that they wanted to be released, so he arranged these things.
Not only the seeder, but also the harvester, the threshing machine, etc., they have to learn how to use it, so that they can go to the local area to promote it.
Regardless of whether their government affairs are qualified or not, at least, they have to understand the people's livelihood.
Therefore, it will be more convincing to start it yourself now and promote it later.
They all came willingly, but right......
I'm really tired, woo!
It's so hard to farm!
It's actually a hot day in June.
Xiao Nianzhi deliberately avoided noon to prevent heat stroke.
However, the temperature in the morning and afternoon is still not low, and it is naturally comfortable to sit still and drink tea, but if you move, especially if you do physical work......
The sweat was pouring out as if it didn't cost money.
A group of gentle-looking and noble gentlemen came, but when they came, they were still weak and noble.
In less than half a day, one by one they were so tired that they lost their original image.
As for what it looks like at this time?
Guys: I don't know, I'm not sure, let's see.
Some people are already thinking in their hearts that they will not be able to dress when they come back tomorrow.
Where are the old clothes in the house?
Yan Feiquan is still young, even if a year later, he is a year older, but he is still a half-grown teenager.
He is the younger brother of the crown prince, and his status is more noble than that of other princes.
plus the older prince, except for the two that were broken, there are only a few that can be used now.
Compared with Yan Feiquan, at least he is still lively and eloquent, and the silence of the five princes makes His Majesty often forget that he still has such a son.
As for the Six Princes......
Well, don't mention it, otherwise Your Majesty is afraid that he will be so angry that he will go straight over!
The other party's mother died early, and His Majesty deliberately put the child to Concubine Rong to raise in order to increase the bargaining chips in the confrontation between Concubine Rong and the Song family.
As a result, he developed a gentleman.
It can't be said that Concubine Rong is not good at teaching, after all, Concubine Rong's mother also has a bear nephew who is not welcome to see cats and dogs.
In contrast, Yan Feiquan, the lively but relatively reliable Nine Emperor Princes, was noticed by His Majesty.
In addition, he is still the prince's brother-in-law, and he will also assist the prince in the future.
Therefore, it is always good to send him out, to gain a little more knowledge, and to gain a little more experience.
Yan Feiquan actually didn't have much interest in these things.
But before coming, he was called over by the queen mother to give a lecture, and he was called over by the prince's brother, and he was carefully instructed.
Now here, he
Don't dare to mess around.
After all, Xiao Nianzhi said that he would be Aunt Wang in the future, and he couldn't afford to mess with it.
Yan Feiquan actually doesn't quite understand, why?
Look at his father, the women of the harem, one after another, the youngest ones, a year younger than him!
Look at Uncle Kang again, Uncle Wei Wang......
Tsk, obviously they are all brothers, what a big difference!
Yan Feiquan really has no interest in farming.
He was interested in Aunt Wang's food.
However, he did not dare to ask, nor did he dare to say.
He was afraid that he would be chased and beaten by Uncle Wang when he turned around, and his father would definitely not stand on his side at that time.
Ouch, the sorrow of the little boy.
The slightly sad mood was healed a lot after seeing the jokes made by the Gurgies.
However, Yan Feiquan still has brains in the end, even if his heart is happy, his face is still very tight.
At most, I smile quietly by bowing my head, or turning my head.
Ah, don't hurt the hearts of these readers, otherwise they will write some sour poems, sour excerpts or something, and he will be reprimanded by his father again, said the queen mother.
After the Gurgis got started, they were not familiar with farming, and they didn't know much about sowing.
All of them are clumsy and look a little embarrassed.
Yan Feiquan looked at it and wanted to laugh, but Xiao Nianzhi couldn't laugh after reading it.
Such people have reached the grassroots level......
Well, it's fairly easy to change them now.
After all, His Majesty has given orders.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi felt that his task was important, and he must teach all these people to let them know the hard work of the people, and he would not be an excessively corrupt official in the future.
Xiao Nianzhi has a lot of patience, although it is not to say that it is a hand-to-hand teaching, but it is all detailed guidance, and occasionally borrows one or two ancient poems.
For these grubies, if you read, we are good friends
Therefore, you can communicate and not understand the matter of farming, but you can still talk about the matter of reading.
When you are tired and sunburned, take a break for a while, and everyone will discuss the poems.
Xiao Nianzhi, a scumbag, said: You are really embarrassed.
But, will she be afraid?
No, no, no, I'm sorry, she has hanging!
If you don't understand, you can go to the study and flip through it.
Then he bluffed a group of Jishi to honestly follow her to learn the use of the seeder.
Not only that, under Xiao Nianzhi's training, they can even plant an acre of land in two days.
It doesn't sound efficient, but it's not easy for a group of Kujishi who don't divide the grains.
Xiao Nianzhi smiled at this: "The adults are doing well, but we still have a lot of room for improvement, you see, this operation can be more labor-saving, and it can improve a lot of efficiency, and this, this ......."
Xiao Nianzhi said, well done, it's over?
No, no, no, you have to motivate yourself, hang the carrots up, and bluff this group of people!
The adults are so tired that they are on their backs, many of them have good backgrounds, they have never farmed since they were young, and some of them have fields at home, but the excellent scholars who are supported by the whole family, where do they need him to go to the fields?
Therefore, even if it is a farmer's son, he does not know how to farm.
In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi said, how can it be done?
All work in the fields, learn it, learn it and let them go!
