Chapter 392: New Farming Tools
Liu Yiyi chuckled and pointed to the second brother's work room, the window inside was wide open, so that there was enough sunlight to facilitate carpenter work.
"Here is a farming tool made by my second brother, which can be pushed directly into the field, and then wheat and rice can be threshed in the field." Liu Yiyi replied, "It's just been done now, and I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it has any effect." ”
After Lord Li saw it, he praised it, "This idea is good, most of our side are terraced fields, and the ox carts can't get in, so they can only be carried on people's backs."
Only a small part of the area is flat and ox carts can enter. If you can harvest rice and wheat in the field, you can indeed save a lot of effort. ”
"That's what my second brother thought at that time." Liu Yiyi replied, smiling slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Master Li thought for a moment, "Can you do it more thoroughly?" Wheat stalks and rice stalks are also cut into short pieces and dropped into the ground, and when the ground is turned over, it is turned directly into the ground, and when it rots, it becomes fertilizer.
In doing so, don't drag these home. If some people need to cook on a fire, they can also dry it in the ground and then pull it back, which can also be easier! ”
Hearing Lord Li's words, Liu Yiyi was dumbfounded, this is the prelude to the combine harvester, I didn't expect the adults here to know so much about farming!
"Lord Li can become the county magistrate of our Meiling County, and it is a blessing for the people of our Meiling County!" Liu Yiyi complimented, such praise is also sincere.
After hearing this, Master Li laughed, "As the saying goes, if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!" I grew up in a farming family, so I know a lot about farming!
Now, as the head of a county, he can do a good job in farming, which is enough for the people to live a good life. I'm a competent official! ”
Liu Yiyi praised again, "Not only is it competent, it is simply the master of the blue sky!" If it weren't for Lord Li's admonition to Lord Zhou back then, it would not have been possible for our Meiling County to become a grain planting base, and the grain grown would not have been sold at a high price. ”
For Liu Yiyi's praise, Master Li was extremely useful.
However, he firmly remembered that it was Liu Yiyi's family who planted good seeds, and then promoted them, he just discovered and promoted.
The most fundamental thing is the family in front of you!
"It's also thanks to your family's coincidence that a good seed was planted!" Master Li said, "Now that you are actively promoting farming, if your family's new tools are very useful, not only will you be rewarded, but I can also guarantee that your family's farm tool shop in the county town will have a prosperous business!" ”
With Master Li's assurance, the Liu family's desire to manufacture new agricultural tools became even stronger.
After Liu Erlang finished eating, he continued to come back to work.
Seeing many people watching around his studio, his face was a little embarrassed.
The new farming tools haven't been made yet, and I don't know if they will work well or not.
Master Li walked up to Liu Erlang and patted him on the shoulder, "Erlang, do a good job!" If you can make good farm tools, the official will definitely give you credit! ”
Liu Erlang has never been praised like this by an official, and he is very excited, "Thank you Lord Li, the grass people must work hard!" ”
After Master Li left, Liu Erlang devoted himself to the development with more enthusiasm.
In private, Liu Yiyi found Liu Erlang, "Second brother, the immortal chief said that he didn't want to leave a name, so this new farm tool is said to have been figured out by you!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Erlang was puzzled, "This is a good thing, why don't you want to be famous?" ”
"Anyway, the little fairy chief said that he didn't want to reveal it, so you just said that you came up with it." Liu Yiyi explained, "You talk nonsense, next time the little fairy chief has a good idea, he won't tell you!" ”
Seeing this, Liu Erlang nodded, "Okay, such a good thing will fall on my head, the more the merrier!" ”
Liu Yiyi asked: "By the way, second brother, Master Li gave a small suggestion just now, can you install a knife to chop wheat stalks on it?" If someone doesn't want these straws anymore, they can directly crush these straw straws and wheat stalks, and then turn them into the soil when ploughing the ground, which can be used as fertilizer! ”
After Liu Erlang heard this, he sighed and said, "I also have such an idea, but it is very difficult to operate!" First of all, you have to have a sharp blade, iron is very expensive, and you need a lot of blades.
In this way, the cost will increase a lot, and the common people will never buy such expensive farm tools.
Then there's the force that drives these blades. What I am doing now is only enough to beat out the wheat and rice in the ears of wheat and rice.
If you want to chop it, you won't have enough strength. Anyway, I can't do it at this stage, but I'll keep trying. ”
Hearing the second brother's words, Liu Yiyi also felt very reasonable, "Since it's not easy to get it, then don't get it for the time being!" You just need to get the threshing machine out first! ”
This one is a foot-operated type, which can be operated by one person, which is particularly labor-saving.
With the addition of one process, there are more things to be added, and the capacity at this stage cannot be achieved at all.
Liu Yiyi also understands that especially the farmer's so much firewood and grass can be used to cook and cook for warmth.
These firewood and grass also have a great effect.
You can cook on a fire, fix the roof, and make a mat to spread on the bed to keep warm.
Meals should be eaten in one bite, things should be done little by little, and you can't be too ambitious.
When I saw the second brother doing things seriously, I was very happy and relieved, and it was rare for the second brother to have such a calm mentality.
But he said that after Lord Li returned to the county seat, he went home directly.
Although he drank some wine at Liu's house today, it was not much, he was not drunk, but his brain was very sober.
As he got along with the Liu family more and more, he felt that the Liu family was not only hardworking, but also very smart.
When encountering problems, they will think and find ways to solve them.
In addition, they are particularly motivated, the nine juniors of the Liu family, some are good at farming, some are good at making carpenters and farm tools, there are people who read, people who practice martial arts, and people who study medicine.
As long as they follow the existing path and walk down-to-earth and study hard.
A change of door is just around the corner.
It is not impossible to soar.
Such a family, Lord Li admires and is very optimistic.
Thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to spend money directly on that recipe.
Maybe they can take a split and maintain a closer relationship with the Liu family.
After returning home, of course, I was completely sober, not only did I not have a headache, but I was refreshed.
When Mrs. Li saw her husband coming back, she quickly got up and poured a cup of tea for her husband herself, and smelled the smell of wine on her husband's body, "Didn't you say that you went to Liujia Village today?" Why do you still drink? ”
Master Li took a few sips of the teacup, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to drink, but Xiao Jiu'er made a good dish, so I unconsciously drank some wine!" ”
Mrs. Li was quite curious when she heard her husband's words, and she knew very well that Xianggong was a very tricky person.
A good dish that can be praised by the husband must taste good!
"What's the dish? Have I eaten it before? Mrs. Li asked, curious.
