Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Emperor Enters Leixia, Shun Ploughs the Mountains (II)

The emperor's expression was very unsightly.

Fang Qi smiled.

"The house without virtue can raise a virtuous son, which is really a thing that has not been encountered for thousands of years. ”

The emperor looked at Fang Qi: "He does have some ability, but now it seems that it is just filial piety, he can only say that he is virtuous, not great virtuous, and even small virtuous is not worthy of it." ”

Fang Qi said: "The emperor can continue to watch." ”

At the end of the day, Chonghua finally finished plowing the fourth mile with his head, his face was flushed, his arms were tense, and he was covered with sweat.

The fourth mile, this one, three hundred steps for the li, the name is Jingtian, Chonghua cultivates four miles, that is, 1,200 steps.

Length, width, each 100 steps, for a field.

Six feet is a step, a hundred steps is an acre, but at this time, there is no saying of acres, Yao Shunyu period, with the prototype of the well field.

In fact, it doesn't take such a long time for a person to plough a few acres of land, but that's because of the reason of "extensive operation, extensive planting and thin harvest", and the laissez-faire form of planting naturally does not require much effort, but if it is a piece of soil and a piece of soil is rolled, each piece is made carefully, and Chonghua's action is actually very fast.

Later, during the Warring States Period, a Chinese in the Jin Kingdom had to plant 70 acres of land, which was naturally widely planted and harvested, coupled with rotation and fallow, which could be taken care of, and planted like this, plus there was no method of manure, the yield per mu was really not high.

If it is like Chonghua, it is a fine tumbling of a piece of soil, if it were an ordinary farmer, he would not do it, because he doesn't know what year and month he will get it, and I am afraid that my waist will be tired.

When the emperor saw this scene, he said to Fang Qi: "This kid, one person a day, if he goes down like this, he can plough more than dozens of fields, and now it seems that he should not stop at five or six thousand steps, which is great and as strong as an ox." ”

Fang Qi also said: "Chonghua was born with great strength, but he has a mellow heart, and he never attacks people with strength, which is really rare." ”

At present, the spring thunder did not sound three times, the spring day was not hot, but there was a slight cold wind, but in the middle of the day, the ground was warm, and Chonghua was tired of ploughing, but he was afraid of being seen by Jiman and scolded himself for being lazy, so he had to hold the hoe, rest for a while, and then wave the hoe, but the action was much slower.

Chonghua saw it, and his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran over, but he didn't even care about the hoe, grabbed the ropes, and said to the head: "This thing is dangerous, the well is deep, and it cannot be touched." ”

The head was suffocated, and there was a rotten little pottery bowl next to her, which was secretly hidden in her arms and brought out.

"Brother is thirsty, he should drink water and rest. ”

When the head said this, Chonghua sighed and said to the head: "Brother is thirsty, he will come to fetch water, you can't do such a dangerous thing, brother will be worried." ”

"Got it!"

The head pulled the corner of Chonghua's clothes and grinned: "Brother, drink water!"

The two siblings, one older and one younger, drank water by the well, and Chonghua took her by the hand, took her to the shady tree, patted away the surrounding humus and wet leaves, and brought a big stone from the side, so that the head could sit here, and this tree was a place where Chonghua could see at any time.

"Don't run around. ”

Chonghua and the head pulled their fingers, and the head smiled happily, and Chonghua returned to the field, picked up the hoe, and worked hard again.

People in the mountains and seas often only eat two meals in the morning and evening, so they often do not eat at noon.

That's only when people have the conditions to eat more.

But at this time, the door of the house was opened, and Chonghua's younger brother Xiang ran out and took a few children to wander around in the field.

"Huh, ploughing the fields?"

Xiang squinted, saw Chonghua's back, and sneered: "What are you afraid of! I don't care, do you still care about my family's affairs? It's just a little field, the eldest brother will plow it, and it's okay to break some of it, anyway, there are no seedlings yet." ”

"Elephant, what are you thinking?"

One child was puzzled: "If you don't have cultivated land, your family will have no place to eat." ”

Xiang patted his chest: "You don't understand, my eldest brother has great strength, he can plow eighty fields a day, and your parents only plow twenty fields a day!"

"There are only a few people in my family, tsk, you guys are so boring. ”

Xiang was persuaded by a few friends to give up the idea of playing in the fields, and he knew that those friends were only taught by the elders of the family not to mistreat Chonghua when he was plowing the land.

This made the elephant very unhappy.

A little friend said, "Elephant, your aunt is not happy today." ”

Xiang snorted coldly: "She, when can she be happy? Every day is like this! But what does it have to do with me, if she is not happy, she will go to my eldest brother for trouble, and my eldest brother is really filial to her, and she tolerates everywhere, which is really ridiculous." ”

The little friend said: "Everyone knows that Chonghua is a filial son. ”

The elephant narrowed his eyes: "Is he filial piety, is he stupid.....! Forget it, it's too much, I'm going to be beaten when I turn around, Chonghua is willing to be beaten and angry, I don't bother to care about him!"

He trotted all the way to the head: "Head, play with my brother?"

The head shook his head, sat under the tree and didn't go anywhere, as if he snorted, and said to Chonghua: "Big brother, my mother said that you put a spell on my head, and she doesn't like my mother pestering you every day, is it true?"

Chonghua smiled and wiped his sweat: "Elephant, you go out to play, be careful of the beast, come back early." ”

Xiang pointed at Chonghua: "Big brother, you are really stupid, heh!"

After he finished speaking, he left, and as he left, he glanced at the head, and saw the little sister's well-behaved appearance, sitting under the tree like that and looking at the cultivated land, so he was even more unhappy.

Chonghua looked at the elephant and walked away, as time went by, there were men passing by one after another, they saw Chonghua, they were very respectful and greeted him, Chonghua also responded one by one, these are the surrounding residents, people under the mountain.

Jiman came out again, she saw those people greeting Chonghua, and suddenly the boss in her heart was dissatisfied, strode over, trampled on the cultivated land, and saw that Chonghua had already cultivated the field of a thousand steps, and her face looked better.

She walked over, didn't care about the head, just said to Chonghua: "Your father wants to eat kān, xΓΉ, go to Lei Ze to catch some, and if you have time, you can hit one or two more water bottles." ”

Chonghua said: "It's not early, and this cultivated land is ......."

Jiman glared at him: "Just teach you to go! Where there are so many words, if you can't eat kanyu today, your father won't eat half a mouthful of corn, if you have the ability, just go in and talk to him yourself! Why bother me!"

Chonghua nodded silently: "Since it is my father's order, I dare not disobey it, so I will go." ”

Jiman waved his hand continuously: "Go and go, go and go back quickly, you go fishing and hunting, and then come back to farm, isn't it the same." ”

"Oh yes, you go to catch fish, but you can't bring a short bow. ”

Chonghua was stunned for a moment, and Jiman said: "When your brother went out to play, he hid a short bow on his chest and took it away. ”

Chonghua didn't say anything, but he understood, and Jiman said again: "You took the head with you when you go, don't lose her!"

Chonghua nodded: "Auntie don't worry." ”

The young man left with the little girl, and walked past Jiman with his head down, and after the two left, Jiman turned his head and glanced at the huge cultivated land, and said to himself: "If you give him more than two points of grain, he will have to plough more fields the day after tomorrow, eat as much as he wants, and make as much as he does, otherwise how will a large family feed, hum!"

As she said this, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, looked around and the sky suspiciously, and found nothing abnormal, so she shook her head and walked towards the house.

And in the distance, on the mountains, the emperor sighed:

"The father is stubborn, the mother is arrogant, and the brother is proud. ”

"But all the people around are respectful, but it is really a mess in the exclusive.... Monstrous absurdity. ”

Fang Qi asked, "What does the emperor think of Chonghua?"

The emperor glanced at him: "Just let me watch it for another ten years (ten days).... At this time, he went to Razor to hunt fish, and now that it is getting late, you might as well go and follow him secretly and protect him. ”

Qi smiled and smiled: "Respect the emperor's order." ”
