This morning, an astonishing news spread in Lijia Village:

The village chief's field has sprouted!

At first, people didn't pay much attention.

Isn't it normal for the seeds to sprout when they are all buried in the soil?

"No, there are a lot of buds! Tender and verdant, thirty catties of seeds, more than fifty catties of seeds! If you don't believe it, go see for yourself! ”

All who heard this opened their mouths wide in unison.

Thirty pounds of seeds, more sprouts than fifty pounds of seeds?

Well, how could it be!

But thinking that it was impossible, everyone still acted in unison, put down the work in their hands and rushed to the village chief's house.

When the news reached the field, Zhang Ahua was about to sprinkle the seeds.

She couldn't wait to see the effect of the county master's three-legged car.

Lijia Village was the first to use the Quyuan plow in Jiang County, and Zhang Ahua was the first to plow the ground in Lijia Village. After all these days of exposure, it was time for her family to plant seeds.

If you don't plant again, it's too late!

"Zhang Ahua, go to the village chief's field! It's budding, and I've heard that it's full of buds! ”

A sister-in-law who had a good relationship in the same village stood at the ridge and shouted to her, looking excited.

Zhang Ahua was slightly stunned.

Then she carried a large bag of seeds on her shoulders and hurriedly trotted to follow: "Sprouted? Buds all over the ground? Oh, what's going on, sister-in-law, you can't speak clearly, you're going to kill me in a hurry! ”

But this sister-in-law hasn't seen it with her own eyes, so she really can't tell.

The two trotted out of the field, only to find that the road was full of people from their same village, and they all ran to the village chief's field with excitement.

One or two, all of them are so fuss and love to join in the fun!

Zhang Ahua muttered in her heart, her feet involuntarily quickened her pace, obviously she hadn't seen anything, she just felt inexplicably that she couldn't catch up if she was late!

At this moment, the area around the village chief's field was already surrounded by people from Lijia Village.

Zhang Ahua finally squeezed in with the seeds, and then stared in shock.

Good boy!

The shoots in this field are so green!

In previous years, the seedlings that were sown with seeds were yellow and wilted, and they were sparse and messy like weeds.

Look at the present.

The seedlings in the village chief's field are neat and orderly.

The point is that it saves 20 catties of grain per acre!

That's twenty pounds!

One acre of land can save 20 catties of grain, and ten acres of land can save 200 catties of grain.

In the future, when you eat, you don't have to pick and search for food to live, what a happy thing it is!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ahua was a little dizzy, and more regretful.

Why didn't she insist that day and let the county master experiment with the three-legged cocoon in her field!

"This seedling will definitely bear good ears when it grows up!"

"I've lived for decades, and it's the first time I've seen seedlings in a field look so good, neat and straight."

"Twenty catties of grain per mu are saved, obediently, the county master's brain, what's the matter, this has to be something that the gods can study."

"Where is the village chief, where is the village chief, I have to ask him, how to buy a three-legged cocoon!"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to buy it too!"

But Li Fu is not here.

After seeing the seedlings in the morning, he and Hu Ming rushed to report the good news to the county master!

The two parties were not there.

The people of Lijia Village are anxious to buy a car, but they don't know where to buy it, so they are in a hurry.

In this era, the fields and grain are the heavens of the farmers.

Therefore, in less than half a day, the three-legged cocoon car flowed out from Lijia Village, and the wind generally spread throughout Jiang County, causing a huge sensation.

The county magistrate has researched something called a three-legged cocoon planter, which has a miraculous effect, and the field planted is not only beautiful, but one acre of land can save twenty catties of grain, and the germination rate has doubled!

Anyone who hears it has a pupil earthquake.

Even Chen Shen, Pei Zhong and other squires were shocked by this incident.

When Pei Zhong came to the door, Chen Shen and his wife were still confused: "Three-legged cocoon? Geng Nian studied? We haven't heard of it! ”

"It's your kid who researched it! Forget it, let's talk as we go. ”

Pei Zhong beckoned: "Let's go, let's go to Lijia Village first." ”

So, Chen Shen and Shao Furui hurriedly followed Pei Zhong out.

On the way, I also met Sun Cheng, Hu Ming and other fathers and mothers of the second ancestor, and a group of squires who were familiar with each other greeted each other and hurried to Lijia Village together.

As a result - there are people everywhere outside the fields in Lijia Village, and they can't squeeze in at all!

Everyone looked excited, talking loudly about the three-legged cocoon and praising the county master.

Chen Shen was a little dizzy.

Obediently, this is the whole Jiang County people are here, what did his stinky boy do this time!

Or Pei Zhong has a way.

He looked at the crowd in Wuyang in front of him and shouted: "Let one go, let one go, let one go, the county master's father and mother are here!" ”

Ou Ho!

This voice made the people in front of them turn around, and then the crowd immediately gave way.

A little ahead, there were people who spontaneously shouted: "The county master's father and mother are here, everyone let them pass first." ”

Chen Shen and Shao Furui have never been so respected and praised by so many people in their lives.

The couple walked to the ridge in a daze, and were also shocked when they saw the seedlings in the field.

Behind them.

Pei Zhong and the other squires' envious eyes were dripping blood.

But there is no way, who makes the son of the family angry!

But at this time, a person from Lijia Village recognized Hu Zhifeng next to Pei Zhong, and immediately said loudly: "Hu Zhifeng, this is Hu Zhifeng Master Hu, Hu Ming's father!" ”

For a while, everyone looked at Hu Zhifeng.

Hu Zhifeng's eyes darkened.

He knew, he knew that something was wrong with his stinky boy recently, and he must have caused trouble!

As a result, the next moment, I heard the man respectfully say: "Let Master Hu go over first, the village chief's field is thanks to the help of Hu Ming's servants, and the seeds can be successfully sown!" Hu Ming knows how to use a three-legged cart best, and everyone will have to ask him for advice in the future. ”

Hu Zhifeng: ?

After several confirmations, under the envious and distorted gaze of the rest of the squires, Hu Zhifeng walked forward with a radiant spirit, his mouth almost reaching the back of his ears.

His son, Hu Ming, is out of breath!

What a long face!

At this moment, Pei Zhong and the other squires were completely dumbfounded.

Who? Hu Zhifeng's black and silly son Hu Ming? That's not as good as their own son, why did they suddenly come out!

must have learned well with Chen Gengnian!

It's only been a few days since I entered the yamen, and the Hu family kid has gone up, the Hu family kid can do it, and my kid may be able to!

The squires looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

You must let your own kid continue to follow Chen Gengnian!

Taking advantage of Chen Geng's year, there is a future!

But let's not mention this matter for the time being, it's important to find a way to buy a three-legged cocoon car first.

The reason why the squire can become a squire is because there are many fields at home, and more than a dozen acres of land in ordinary people's homes are considered to be more, but the squires start with a hundred acres of land at home.

One acre of land saves twenty catties of seeds, and one hundred acres of land, that is two thousand catties!

It is no wonder that the three-legged cocoon car will cause a sensation in Quanjiang County.

The entire Jiang County, whether it is ordinary farmers or squires, is so excited that their eyes are red at this moment.

To buy a three-legged car, you must buy a three-legged car!

-

Lijia Village is bustling with activity.

And Chen Gengnian was in Shao An's carpenter shop, counting the three-legged cocoons.

Because of the loss that the Quyuan plough could not be promoted in time last time, Chen Gengnian convened a number of carpenter shops this time and started to build the cocoon car a week in advance.

If it's late, you won't be able to catch up with the summer planting.

At least let Lijia Village use the cocoon first, and Chen Gengnian's phased main task [increasing grain production by at least 30%] is all bet on Lijia Village.

"There are a total of ten carts in my shop, and the remaining four or five carpenters' shops add up to more than 30."

Shao An's face was full of tiredness and worry: "Geng Nian, can this cocoon car really be sold?" ”

It stands to reason that the Shao family's carpenter shop has been booming recently, and Shao An's father should be happy.

But just a week ago, Chen Gengnian had a new invention - the cocoon car.

This cocoon is more complicated than the zigzag plow, and it takes a lot of effort to build, and the price is as high as 500 yuan.

The Shao family's recent money was not only all put into this car, but also owed a large amount of money for materials such as timber merchants and blacksmiths.

According to Shao An, five or six days ago, the cocoon had been sown in Lijia Village.

But after such a long time, there was still no movement, and Shao An's father was up and down in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well.

"Don't worry, uncle, it's only been these two days, and I will definitely be able to sell it."

Chen Gengnian smiled and comforted: "Although the price of the cocoon car is high, it can sow ten acres of land a day, which is much faster than the speed of Quyuan plowing the land, and there is no need to buy it for every household." A village can get together and buy a few planes. ”

Five hundred wen seems to be a lot, and the people in the village get together, and there is not much money to share it.

But—

Someone has to be willing to buy it!

Shao An's father opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, although their father and son, as well as the carpenters and masters present, built the cocoon car, everyone still had reservations about the effect of the cocoon car that Chen Gengnian said.

Save 20 catties of seeds per mu, and double the germination rate.

This sounds like a fantasy!

Just when Shao An's father was worried.

Outside, the excited voice of the village chief Li Fu came in: "County master! The county lord is not here! My field has sprouted, verdant green buds! Thirty catties of seeds per acre of ground, and the ground is full of seedlings, which is more than fifty catties of seedlings! ”

This voice alarmed the entire carpenter's shop, and everyone came out to inquire one after another.

After getting a definite answer, everyone turned to look at Chen Gengnian with a dull expression.

The county master's brain is so long, it's too bright!

"What you said is true?"

Shao An's father staggered out with an eager face.

"Of course it's true! I saw with my own eyes, no, I personally went to the field and sowed the seeds, and there will be no mistake! ”

Hu Ming, who came in after Li Fu, looked excited: "It's lively and crazy outside, and the three-legged cocoon car invented by Brother Geng Nian is spreading everywhere!" It is estimated that someone will come here soon to buy it. Uncle Shao, I, can I buy a cocoon car first? ”

Li Fu also hurriedly said: "I'll also book one first!" ”

Such a good car, of course you have to buy it!

"Ah, okay."

Shao An's father immediately agreed.

Without bothering to look at Li Fu and Hu Ming's excited expressions, he turned to look at Chen Gengnian and said excitedly: "Gengnian, this-"

"I'll just say it, uncle, you don't have to worry."

Chen Gengnian spread his hands and said with a smile: "Next, you must continue to be busy." ”

Shao An's father grinned happily.

Next to him, Shao An and his mother were also relieved, and the family had longing in their eyes.

It's good to be busy, it's good to be busy, and there is hope for the future!

And not long after Chen Gengnian's voice fell, sure enough, the first group of people came to the Shao family's carpenter shop.

"It's here to buy a three-legged cocoon!"

"You can't be wrong, Quyuan plough was first sold in this shop, and it is said that Master Shao is the county master!"

"How much is a rack, I must buy the first one this time!"

If it is said that the curved plough is to save time and effort, so that people can easily farm.

Then the three-legged cocoon is to save food, improve the germination rate, and even directly create the technological innovation of agriculture and handicraft industry in this era!

Who wouldn't want to buy such a powerful car?

Even if your family is poor, you have to grit your teeth and buy it, because if you buy it, you can save food!
