Chapter 275: Dementia at Work
Dongyi, Lishan.
In front of Chonghua, there was a big ox pulling the plough of the concubine, and he followed behind, and there were wild elephants and small birds frolicking in the distance of the farmland.
A light rain fell on the muddy ground.
The concubine's plough is a Quyuan plough imitated by Chonghua, because when he made it, he saw the model given by Uncle Xi, and realized that it was already in the south, so he was embarrassed to paste his name, so he pasted the name of the concubine who had never met.
As soon as the plough was launched, it was immediately well received, and there was an endless stream of plow-buyers on the Chonghua booth every day, which was cheap and easy to use on the one hand, and on the other hand, it led to the prosperity of animal husbandry.
Because this plough still needs an ox.
As a result, the price of cattle near Shouqiu began to skyrocket, and there were many fewer owners selling beef.
From the era of animal husbandry to the age of cattle farming, the importance of cattle has risen, and the price of beef near Shouqiu has begun to soar like a rocket.
The big chiefs of the Dongyi tribe issued an urgent order last autumn, that is, to designate a few livestock owners, so that their cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered, and they were specially brought to the market to supply plows for supporting use, and adjusted the price of their cattle.
At this point, cultivated cattle were separated from beef cattle.
Chonghua has attracted much attention because of this, but the big leaders of Dongyi have come a few times, and it seems that Chonghua has moved to several main cities in Dongyi, and Chonghua was ready to move the whole family at that time, but when the Dongyi envoy came again, he said that he could not move for the time being, as for the reason, it was ambiguous.
Of course, Chonghua would not know that after Dongyi's envoy went out, their big leader was interviewed by Emperor Fangxun.
The people who robbed the Central Plains are so daring! The heirs of the emperor are also the ones you can rob? A purchasing minister wants to fool the past?
Chonghua's whole family, and the desire to move to become a city person was in vain.
But compared to the displeasure of the eyes, the disappointment and irritability of Jiman, the indifference of the elephant, and the happiness of the head, Chonghua seemed very calm, and even talked about it with his brother and sister.
"Although I made this plow, others made it before me, and if there was no straight plow, it would be difficult for me to transform the curved plow, so our opportunity this time was not actually obtained by ourselves, but inherited the favor of others. ”
"If we can get this favor, then we can be happy, and if we can't get it, we should not resent anyone and be disappointed, because it is really not ours. ”
After the disappointment, life will go on.
He looked up, the last rain of winter was coming, and spring was coming soon.
Therefore, it is very important to turn over the soil in advance.
Plough the soil before sowing, so that the soil is soft and breathable, so that rainwater can easily be retained in the soil, air can also enter the soil, and at the same time, turning the soil can also kill some insects hiding in the soil.
In this way, the seeds sown will easily take root and sprout.
When the winter is idle, that is, when autumn and winter alternate, Chonghua has already plowed the land first, and now it is the second ploughing, he is generally very careful in doing things, just stuck in the last rain of winter, and now the climate has been gradually changing, as long as there is no spring cold, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
And this kind of farming behavior was discovered when Chonghua used a plough at the turn of the year before last year, and he originally just wanted to give it a try, so in the winter, he and his neighbor Ah Shi made a calculation, and the two bought a few cows and brought them back for farming.
I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good, and that year because of the winter ploughing in advance, in the spring, the growth of the seedlings became obviously very good, so that last year Chonghua family ushered in a bumper harvest.
So with it, Chonghua's stepmother Jiman's face also looked a lot better, and even said to Chonghua that Shouqiu was doing business, just let the elephant exercise, and he would farm at home with peace of mind, in fact, he also intended to let his youngest son see the world more and make some money, but the elephant who has always been "playful" is not happy.
"My brother sells good goods, but I can't sell good goods, I won't!"
Xiang was very scoundrel and said an excuse, but in fact he was just prevaricating, because Jiman found out that Xiang seemed to be working in the fields with Chonghua recently, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Your brother has been digging and eating in the field all his life, and you want to be like him? Go to Shouqiu more, get acquainted with some big people, and if we can enter the Jiuyi Kingdom in the future, then we will have a bright face!"
Jiman's meaning, to be like a human being, but like only interested in fun things, when the Quyuan plough was not bought by Chonghua, he went out every day to walk the chicken and tease the dog, but since the last time Chonghua was defeated by two new ploughing tools, on the ploughing tools.....
However, in fact, it is not that Xiang likes to plough the land, but that Xiang is interested in the two things of straight and curved ploughs, because these two things are movable, and he can play for a day just by watching the oxen pull the plow, and last time Chonghua even saw Xiang call his little friends to the field at home, and several people pulled the straight plough and ploughed one hundred and fifty steps in one breath in the form of a competition.
Of course, there is another important factor.
I don't want to guard the stall, it's a day, it's too boring.
Chonghua's younger brother, like this child, if put in the future generations, it is ADHD.... However, his current nature is not too bad, it can only be said that he has been with Chonghua for a long time, and the friends of Chonghua's neighbors are indeed not bad people, so it has subtly, and the stubbornness in his character has also converged and disappeared a lot.
Chonghua packed up his things at home and seemed to be going out.
This year is the third year, and it started with that strange old man touching porcelain.
Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and at first they thought they were whistles sent by the hostile market to steal business, but they didn't.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Xiang watched Chonghua pack up his things, and thought of the tired ploughing of the old brother Pingsuli, and quickly felt the danger.
Chonghua looked at him, called out with joy, and stopped packing his things.
"Elephant, I was about to talk to you about something, I was going to go on a long trip, and you went to Shouqiu, when you went to sell the plough of the concubine..."
As soon as he heard this, his whole face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
He doesn't want to go to Shouqiu to sell goods!
So like Abba Aba, he had a desperate reaction to work, so that he instantly got a kind of "work will be demented", which made Chonghua a little speechless, and sighed.
"I've told people about it....."
Chonghua said this twice, as if he had woken up from dementia, and said to Chonghua: "This way, brother, I'll help you go!"
