Chapter five hundred and sixty-six war together ten rooms nine empty
Liu Mingzhi watched fifty people easily turn up the trenches of more than ten acres of land, and could only sigh at the extraordinary strength of the working people.
After all, a person who has worked hard for a long time is hundreds of times better than a person like me who only understands trivial theories.
So, people can be arrogant but they must not be arrogant. Do not let outsiders command insiders. Otherwise, not only will the desired results not be achieved, but it will be counterproductive.
"Sir, may I ask you something?"
Liu Mingzhi, who was sighing secretly, was shocked by Shi Laowu and came back to his senses.
Looking at Shi Laowu, who had a tangled expression and a slightly blushing complexion, he was curious: "Old man, it doesn't matter if you ask me anything. As long as I don't go out of my way, I can agree to it!"
Shi Laowu turned around and glanced at his old man, who looked a little embarrassed: "Sir, I would like to ask how the plow used by the oxen to plow the fields is so easy to use?"
Liu Mingzhi was startled and looked back at the plow that had stopped next to the oxcart. He knew that these experienced farmers would see the difference in the plow, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Old man, this is called a fan plow. It is sharp and wear-resistant. It is a good hand for plowing the land. If you want to use it, I will leave it to you!"
In his previous life, Young Master Liu was born in the countryside. He often followed his grandfather around and rolled around. The plows used to plow the fields with oxen were very impressive.
I had the blacksmith build it early and prepare it for the day of planting sweet potatoes!
Liu Mingzhi originally wanted to report it to the court, but he was from the Ministry of Household Affairs and not the Ministry of Works. If he acted beyond his authority without authorization, he would definitely be punished by Xia Gongming, an old and selfless censor.
Although he had very little contact with Xia Gongming, he often heard about the glorious deeds of this imperial minister from Song Qing and Song Yu.
Those who dare to point their fingers at the emperor and scold him are not inferior to Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty.
He is selfless but knows how to advance and retreat. Even the emperor cannot do anything about it.
Xia Gongming was not only a veteran of two dynasties, but also a man who was loyal to the emperor and the country. Every remonstrance he wrote was never selfish.
Li Zheng didn't want to chill the hearts of the elders of the two dynasties! He repeatedly tolerated Xia Gongming.
Hearing that Liu Mingzhi wanted to leave the plow to farmers like himself, Shi Laowu looked embarrassed. Although he was kind-hearted and kind-hearted, he liked the sharp, durable and effective plow, but he didn't seem to be taking advantage of Liu Mingzhi in vain.
"Sir, is this appropriate?"
"Old man, there is nothing suitable or inappropriate. You need such plows. Not only these twenty plows, but hundreds or even thousands will be used."
Liu Mingzhi seemed to have seen the sweet potato harvest in front of his eyes. It would be unrealistic not to ask every household to grow sweet potatoes as a high-yield food. Sweet potatoes are also a supplementary food when the yield is high.
As long as each family can plant three to five acres of sweet potatoes, there will be no need to worry about any famine years.
As long as there is something to eat, you can eat the bark of the tree, not to mention the more delicious sweet potatoes!
The current Dalong land is vast and sparsely populated. Although the fertile farmland has been occupied by aristocratic families, the cultivated land left is enough for these people to settle down and start a business.
The three-step plan is the top priority, and a memorial has been prepared in Liu Mingzhi's study for a long time, but Digua has not shown any results, so the memorial cannot be submitted yet.
Three or four months, as long as you wait another three or four months, it will be the day when Liu Mingzhi will show off his ambitions.
"The Lord is kind-hearted. The little old man has lived for sixty-eight years. Tongyuan County has also changed its owners several times, but there has never been such a kind-hearted owner as the Lord. The little old man knows that the Lord is
I don’t like to kneel down, but the little old man and the old brothers behind him still have to kowtow to the lord! Not for anything else, just because the lord treats us poor people as human beings!”
"Old Shi Laowu from Dashi Village would like to thank Sir Sir for his great kindness."
When the other village elders saw this, they didn't understand what was happening, so they knelt down and kowtowed one after another.
Liu Mingzhi didn't react at all. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly helped a few elderly people. He really had nothing to say. Is it really okay to kneel down at all times?
Apart from anything else, even when the emperor came to court, most of the civil and military officials only paid a visit. This kind of understanding is really too big.
"Old man, if you guys do this again, I will get angry. Don't kneel down all the time. I'm only twenty years old. You are a long-lived person. It's not appropriate for me to kneel down at a young age like me. Don't do so much anymore.
This kid can't bear the gift."
"Yes, yes, I will wait for the old man to find out. Thank you Sir for your kindness!"
"A few old people, would you like to ask if there are any idle farmers in the village?"
"There are quite a few. What are your orders, sir?"
"I'd like to trouble some old people to summon 20 young adults to help Sister Wei take care of the sweet potatoes. Each of them will receive three taels of silver a month, and they don't need anything else. Don't let wild beasts and people with bad morals destroy the growth of the sweet potatoes."
That’s it.”
Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to do this. He had high hopes for sweet potatoes and didn't want anything to go wrong. Besides, a few hundred taels of silver would cost more than a visit to a brothel. Spending it on these farmers is the best of both worlds!
"Sir, my two sons will do!"
"Sir, I have three nephews, all of whom are young and strong!"
"Sir, there are a few idle hunters over there, and they all have some life-saving force, so that's okay!"
"Okay, okay, you just need to report your name to Mr. Shi. Just gather enough twenty people. Then I will pay them half of the silver first."
"No, no, no, it's not too late to talk after you're done!"
"Don't let others work in vain. I have always said one thing and another thing, as long as"
"I've met father and uncles, and I'd like to pay my respects to the lord!"
Before Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, a woman in her twenties and thirties dressed in coarse linen clothes walked over. Although she was oppressed by life and couldn't breathe, it could still be seen that she was a quite delicate woman.
Combining the name of this woman, Liu Mingzhi immediately knew her identity, Wei Xiaolian, Shi Erwa's wife.
When Shi Laowu saw his daughter-in-law arriving, there was a trace of imperceptible distress in his eyes, but his reply was neither salty nor cool: "Yes!"
Wei Xiaolian nodded gently, looking a little helpless.
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently. It can be seen that Shi Laowu's love for his granddaughter and grandson was definitely not targeted at this daughter-in-law. Considering what he said before, Shi Laowu also did this to force Wei Xiaolian to remarry.
This is also a helpless move. It is really not an option for a woman under thirty years old to guard a home without a man.
When a person is still young, remarrying is the best solution.
Shi Laowu also had good intentions and did not want to see his daughter-in-law remain a widow for the rest of her life for a home without a man.
Shi Laowu's good intentions are good, but the method is really not very appropriate. However, it is unrealistic for you to expect an old farmer to have so many tricks!
After all, it was the war that caused the trouble.
If the Great Dragon had not come out from the north and the Turks of the Jin Kingdom had not gone south, how could there have been so many tragedies in the world!
"When the war breaks out, nine out of ten rooms will be empty!"
