Views:

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..." On a mountain behind Zhangjiazhuang, in a field circled out, Cherry was leading a few people there calling for the chicken to come over to eat. Cherry discovered that since the chicken was moved to the mountain After that, there was less food that needed to be fed every day.

In these chickens, you can find food anywhere on the mountain, and even those hapless insects will be eaten by the chickens among the only sons. The chickens grow better than before.

Thinking of this, Cherry once again admired the little son and the little lady, even if she had already admired a lot of food and saved food. This is one, and the other is that the little son and they actually sold the little eggs more than the big ones. The price is still high. You have to buy at least fifty catties at a time, and the person who buys that fifty catties will cost the person who buys them 12 cents more.

The most important thing is that those people are rushing to buy it at such an expensive price. This ability to make money is really amazing. It seems that there are no things in this world that little boys and little ladies can't do.

The more Cherry thinks about it, the happier, especially now that she is still in charge of so many chickens. The little boy said that the accounts are kept separately in each place. By the end of the year, which side earns more, whoever has more will have more. Reward for money.

The most important thing is not these rewards, but the little son said that whoever gets more rewards means that whoever has the best skills can be left to this person to do more important things in the future.

As long as you work hard to raise the chickens, and if you have a little boy and a cuckoo little lady, you will be better than others at that time. Who says that girls are inferior to boys? My parents always praise my younger brother, who should I praise this time

Cherry thought about it and laughed, and a girl next to her curiously touched her, "Sister Cherry, what are you laughing at?"

"En? I laugh. After I laugh, when the eggs laid by these chickens can be hatched, I will hatch more and give the dealers on the villagers a good life, and children can grow up. It's white and fat." Cherry smiled again.

"Well, I can live a good life. This is how Sister Cherry is great. The young man is really accurate in seeing people. The people around him have so many things to do, and they can do well. The young man and the young lady are really good. Fairy." The girl followed again.

"Don’t always mention this. In fact, the little son and the little lady are also worried, but every time we are worried, we can think of a good way. Those of us who are around the little son are actually taught by the little son. Who is there? It's the same around the little boy."

Cherry glared at the girl, and then humbled a little. This little girl was also in the inner courtyard. If the farmer outside said such things, she would track down who had leaked the matter.

The little girl stuck out her tongue in fear: "Sister Cherry, I swear to ruin this matter in my heart and tell no one. If there is no little son and little lady, our good days will come to an end, and we will never find it again. To the master who treats us so well."

"Well, hurry up and feed the chickens. These chickens will eat so much all day, and they will be killed for meat. I heard the little son and the little lady say that when we have more money here, we will have a school. , So that the little children on the two Zhuangzi can read and read."

Cherry poured down half of the bucket of fodder again, thinking about the future scenes at Chuangzi.

The little girl also nodded: "Yes, it's fine now. I found two doctors and stayed at Zhuangzi, one for treating people and one for livestock. I was a little dizzy the day before yesterday. I took a pill, and I just drink it when I come back. I didn't spend a penny. It was said that it was the account of the little boy who left. The people in the inner courtyard are like this.

The farmers seem to want to spend a little money on their own. I heard from the steward that they will not need to spend any money in the future, but every year when the harvest comes up, they have to pay more. This part of the money will take care of everything and treat illnesses. If I die, I will build the house afterwards. "

"After that, you will have to do things well. It's really wrong. Others just want to protect you. You can't do it. Send these eggs to the warehouse later, and then sell them to those people together." Cherry said seriously, carrying them. Walking back with the empty bucket, today's meal is almost the end.

Qizhou, Phosphorus County.

There were people coming and going on the street, and the restaurant and inn were very noisy. On this day, three people came here against the same heavy thing, and they knew a blacksmith's shop directly.

"The shopkeeper, do you care about carpentry work?" one of the three asked aloud.

"Well, my son is a carpenter who specializes in woodwork. The three of you are doing things?" The one who hit the iron stopped the movement in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and asked with a smile.

"Well, make us something like this." The three of them spoke and took out the cloth-wrapped thing for the blacksmith to see.

"This... this is a plow? Why haven't I seen it before?" The blacksmith wondered, no wonder these three people still need woodwork. Doesn't this plow just use iron and wood together.

"Yes, it is the plow. This plow is called the Quyuan Plow. It was made by the magistrate of Sanshui County. It is called a quick one when you work. It is more than a few times faster than a normal plow. It is pulled by people. It’s faster than the original type that the livestock pulls, and the ploughing is deeper. I have two relatives here. I bought one in Sanshui County and made another one here.

So there are one or two relatives’ houses. When I came, I saw that there were still a lot of fields that had not been plowed. It was too slow. Our Sanshui County has already done it a long time ago, and some of them have been plowed twice. , Our magistrate is great, right? "

This person continued talking. When talking about the county magistrate, his waist stood up and his head was raised, as if the county magistrate was his father.

"Really? Which one is your county magistrate? Does he still take care of this kind of thing?" The blacksmith was attracted by this man's words, thinking that he had a relative's land and he hadn't finished plowing, then he could make a relative's house. Up

"Is this still false? Our county magistrate has the surname Cheng, the name Yu Lingxiang, and Zunzi An Ran. That is a good county magistrate. Let me tell you. In order for the county magistrate to allow us people to do a good job of spring ploughing, it's not tea and rice. think… "

This person is endless when talking about the county magistrate. Starting from Xiangrui, he also said that the county magistrate would send grain and oil to the poor people during the New Year. Then he talked about this quyuanli, which improved what Song Jinggong said at the beginning. Even more exaggerated.

As he said here, there were more and more lively people around him. The other two who followed him, afraid that someone might not hear them all, walked to the side and spoke to a group of people. They said and gestured. Pushing the quyuan plough in front of everyone, let everyone take a good look, and introduce the benefits over and over again.

When everyone around me took it down, I handed it over to the blacksmith. He said that he came to pick it up at night. The total amount was 60 yuan. The payment was made on the spot, and the things were thrown away. The three of them each found a hotel and went to eat.

When I got to the hotel, I went wherever I was. After talking a few words in front of me, I started to talk about the squiggly plow, and asked the magistrate how to do it, and also pointed out which blacksmith shop was making it.

After eating at the hotel without much delay, I went to the tea house to drink tea. The hotel didn’t drink the free tea, and just drank the tea from the tea house set up on the roadside. Those words came out of the three of them again. .

As a result, before the evening, different versions of words began to appear in Phosphorus County, Qizhou. Some said that Sanshui County magistrate came up with the plough overnight, and some said that Sanshui County magistrates were skinny and skinny. I was moved to heaven, but Tuomeng told him.

It’s also a godsend for the twisted plow. Some say that one person can pull it faster than two cows, and some say that as long as the plow is placed on the ground, it can cultivate the land by itself.

Regardless of the type, this plow is linked to the county magistrate Cheng of Sanshui County. When it comes to the plow, one thinks of the magistrate Cheng, and when it comes to the magistrate of Cheng, some people continue to talk about Quyuanli.

In the evening, the three people came to the blacksmith shop again. The blacksmith had already waited there, and gave the pre-made plough to the three people. Watching the three people walk away, the blacksmith closed the door and closed his son. Two Quyuanli walked towards their relatives' house.

The three people did not go to any relatives with Quyuanli, but turned and left here and headed to the next county.

The blacksmith and his son sent two sets of plows to two relatives' homes, and processed what they had heard during the day to tell their relatives. The relatives couldn't help hearing it. Regardless of how late it was, they brought the squirrel. When the plow came to the field, curious neighbors followed one after another.

The blacksmith’s son was pulling in front, while his relatives were in control behind him. After walking a few steps, he got used to the speed and ploughing deep. The relative of the blacksmith was happy. Whatever you say, you have to have a good drink with the blacksmith.

Those neighbors can't stay idle, wanting to share what they saw with their own eyes to everyone they know.

The next morning, everyone who knew the news came to the blacksmith's relatives' homes. I heard that they went to the ground early in the morning, and hurriedly chased them into the ground. When they got to the place, many people were already watching. Now, there are people who exclaimed from time to time.

In this way, a few days later, people in other prefectures and counties around Sanshui County knew that there was a new kind of plow called Quyuan Plow, and they also knew that this plow was made by the prefect of Sanshui County, and there were many spring ploughing later. Farmers in all counties have begun to make this kind of plow.

When the county magistrates of all counties saw that this plow had such a great effect, they all paid attention to it. The memorials were sent to it. When the people in the state saw that this plow was not owned by the state, it would be difficult to compete for merit. , And relayed the situation to the capital truthfully.

The officials in Hanzhou were planning to spend time with the county magistrate Cheng until he couldn’t help but surrender the credit. Unexpectedly, the incident spread to Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Industry in Beijing. My colleague said that all the departments in charge knew about such a major event.
