Chapter 128: Cattle Training and Ploughing the Fields
Needless to say, at four o'clock the next day, the young lady finished playing her fists and feet in a clearing in the stone courtyard, and when she heard the movement of the courtyards, she walked towards the courtyard of the guards.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they knocked on the door, and Qingyi and the others were about to go out, and when they saw the courtesy, the young lady said, "I will go with you today to select livestock." After saying that, he stood by the door and waited.
Qing Yi walked a few steps to the front, and led everyone to the yard where the horses were stored. The gate of the courtyard here has been opened, and there are people inside and out, and the two palace maids are also standing outside the door, carrying burlap bags and water hyacinths.
And when they had seen each other, and each of them had led his horse, he went to the tribes of chiefs to choose his livestock.
The two palace maids could not ride horses, and were about to get into the carriage, when the young lady came to them and said, "Give me what you have brought, and you can go back. ”
The palace maid said: "Thank you for your concern, the lady told us to take care of the farmer, and we can go directly to the field and wait." After saying that, he got into the carriage and instructed the groom to follow the handyman and go directly to the field that had been circled yesterday.
Seeing this, the young lady said no more, got on the horse, and set off with the others.
Out of the stone yard, everyone went around the Jinmin settlements of the chiefs and tribes, and selected twenty-seven calves about one year old, and only six iron plows were gathered.
The selection of calves went more smoothly than expected, and the group decided to train the calves to plow the land now.
It was soon agreed that after the ox training was over, the little chiefs would order the iron plough, and everyone came to the study field with six calves, and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
The backbone of the study selected by the tribes in front of the field was already waiting, and the two palace maids were also sitting in front of the ground, and when they saw everyone coming, they came to Qingyi and the others with the burden of food and water hyacinth.
After a simple breakfast and a rest, the chiefs led the handymen they had brought with them to dig large-diameter water wells, divert water channels, and build tents according to the plan.
The people who had learned to cultivate began to divide into groups, and there were now only six iron ploughs, two of which had been collected from slaves by the tribes. Qing Yi took a group of people to ride a horse and lead the ox to the easternmost study field, Qing Er took a group of people to divide the ox on the spot and began to explain, Qing San led a group of people to ride a horse and lead the ox to the first study field.
The young lady stood in the crowd and listened to Qingji's explanation.
Qing Er picked an honest-looking calf, put on a plow, and prepared to demonstrate to everyone.
Qinger called out to a Rongmin trainee, asked him to grab the handle of the plow with both hands, step on the plow with one foot, and vigorously step the rake teeth of the iron plough into the ground, withdraw his foot, and press the iron plow with both arms. Qing Er saw that the students had done everything they said, and came to the calf, leading the cow with his left hand and a small wooden stick in his right hand, leading the cow forward.
The calf began to be very obedient and walked obediently, but found that the more he walked, the more he worked, and he was unwilling, so he played with his temperament and stopped walking.
Qinger shouted loudly and knocked the cow's buttocks with a wooden stick, and the calf peed out naughtily, but still didn't leave.
Qing Er had no choice but to scare the calf loudly according to experience, and at the same time raised a wooden stick with his right hand to hit the calf's back, the calf was frightened like a child who had made a mistake, and reluctantly walked forward for another hundred meters.
This animal is a temperament, loves to eat but does not like to work, remember to eat but not to fight, the calf walked for a while and stopped moving. Qing Er took out a handful of hay from the burden he was carrying, fed the calf a few bites, and continued to scare the calf.
The calf played a bullish temper, and Qingji pulled the cow to turn to the left, but the calf had to go to the right. Qinger took a wooden stick and beat the cow's back loudly to scare the calf, and the calf was frightened by the pain, so he had to obey and turn to the left.
The young lady watched Qingyi train the calf, and realized that farming was difficult. On weekdays, I only see the big ox obediently pulling the iron plough to plough the land, and I don't want this to be the same as a child's learning, and I can domesticate it with grace and power.
Qinger pulled the ox and walked back to the field where he set off, gave the stick to a Rong Min who was studying with him, grabbed a handful of grass and fed it to the calf, and said to the Rong Min who came to study: "You are in a group of three, two of you plough the land like we did just now, and one of you is studying." ”
Rong Min, who was studying with Qing Er, took the wooden stick and the burden of hay handed over by Qing Er, called over two Rong Min, and started the actual operation in groups of three.
One of the Rong people put an iron plough on the other calf, picked up a stick, took the hay baggage he had prepared, and the other two Rong people also shouted and learned.
The calf behind is very dishonest, he loses his temper when he does it, jumps and jumps, and learns how to play a donkey, and it is estimated that this calf grew up with the donkey. The three Rong people finally led the ox to plow the land, and the calf in front of them had already come back and waited for a while.
There were sixty Rong Min Qinger in this group who came to study, during which the two calves drank water and rested twice, and the Rong people all learned to plow the land once and for the time.
The young lady has been observing the learning of each group, and the other two groups are almost finished. The young lady thought to herself, "If only I could think of a way to make the calf happy to learn how to plow the land." ”
Qing Er saw that the time was almost up, and said: "In the future, every cow has an iron plow, you must remember the ploughing ox that you call when you study, and love the training like a family member, they will become more and more obedient, and the more they use it, the more comfortable they are. ”
And they all answered the promise and dispersed, every man to his house.
Miss returned to her yard and went directly to Ba Gege's room, Ba Gege saw Miss coming, and said: "I was about to send someone to call you over, but now that you are here, how do you feel after watching the ploughing for a day?" ”
The young lady said: "I don't know if I don't see it, this cultivated land is very knowledgeable in training cattle." ”
Ba Gege said: "In detail. ”
The young lady said: "This training of cattle and ploughing is like teaching children to start reading, which must be serious and lively, so that they can improve every day." It's just that seeing the calf being beaten and reprimanded, the minister can't bear it. ”
These things are born to eat, drink, sleep, and grow naturally, which is the stipulation of the innate astronomical treaty. Birds are born to migrate, and tigers are born to be the king of beasts, which are all natural regulations and belong to the category of astronomy, so when the time comes, astronomy will be activated, and everything will find its own way of life. What you do the day after tomorrow belongs to the geographical category of astronomical records, the small ones will grow on the hand prints, tree rings, etc., and the big ones are the mountains and rivers that we all know, all of which record the behavior of all things.
If you learn the art of geography, you can know the past, and if you learn the art of astronomy, you can know the future. Both are connected, that is, the land immortals who know 500 years before and 500 years later, and can watch the stars.
This astronomical and geographical record cannot be changed, it can only be deceived, and after the deception, the astronomical geography will appear by itself, and the day when the truth is revealed, is the time when the person who casts the trick of deception astronomy and geography will receive the retribution of heaven.
The calf learns to plough the land, will form a memory in the sea, grow a cow pattern, record the merit of the calf, the longer the plough, the deeper the cow line, the elf will know the calf's merit at a glance, and it will be reported. There are gods in the first three feet, the protagonist has a successful Taoism, and the day when he can discover the elves is the time when he enters the world with this mystery.
