Chapter 51 49. The plow of spring (please ask for monthly tickets, monthly tickets, monthly tickets)

In mid-February, spring is warm, with slanting wind and drizzle.

In accordance with the timing, the entire Han Dynasty, no matter what the power, had ordered subordinate officials to prepare for spring plowing, including cattle, farm tools and seeds.

Mianyang, the same is true.

However, there have been some changes in the fields that Huang Yueying belongs to.

Huang Yin led a team of guards and asked the heads of each village to dig ten large holes in each village. He also asked them to lead people to collect plant ash, livestock manure, humus and fallen leaves, river bottom silt, etc., and fill them all in.

In these big pits, even... each village even divided several buckets of bean dregs left over from making tofu and mixed them in together.

"Mr. Lang, if it is as you said, this fertilization method is effective, I am afraid this year's harvest will be much higher than in previous years." An old farmer wearing coarse clothes looked happily at the ten large pits in the farm.

Even if there was some strange smell in these big pits, he didn't care.

"It will definitely work." Huang Yin nodded confidently, because the prescription he was using now came from a layman who cultivated flowers.

"Hehe, if this is the case, the old man will set up a sign for Chu Anjun and burn incense every day." The old farmer said with a smile.

Huang Yin shook his head, "No need. In addition, Qu Yuuli also sent five to my husband's village, but it's still not enough. If there are carpenters or blacksmiths in the village, they can be copied."

"No." The old farmer agreed, with an even bigger smile on his face.

He has heard of Quyuanli.

The discussion in the county town was very heated these two days, and even the county magistrate went to Huangjiazhuangzi to ask for advice.

I heard that plowing the land with this method is not only faster, but also saves more manpower. Even if there is a shortage of plowing cattle, there is no need to worry too much.

"Finally, my father-in-law," Huang Yin explained, "the hundred acres of good paddy fields set aside must be carefully organized, because they are used to raise rice seedlings. Only rice seedlings grow strong and mature when they are young.

Only by doing so can we have a better harvest.”

"Don't worry, old man." The old farmer also became serious.

He and Mr. Huang had been arguing for three or four days. At first, he thought it was ridiculous that these scholars would go to the fields to guide him, an old farmer, in farming.

Later, the gentleman did not argue with him, but just ordered others to do their own thing.

Originally, he only regarded it as a joke.

It wasn't until the gentleman ordered people to bring the white bean dregs and pour them into the pit, and then ordered people to mix them evenly, that he knew that the gentleman really knew his stuff.

Since ancient times, after the fields have been planted with legumes, crops will grow more luxuriantly than the previous year.

Then, he carefully communicated with the other party with a calm attitude... only to find that everything the other party said was reasonable, and even some of the little tricks in the field were well understood by this man.

So, he also planned to try the husband's method. If it works, there will be a bumper harvest this year, and everyone's life will be easier. If it doesn't work, the husband also said that Chu Anjun will send someone to help.

They distributed enough food to last the coming year.

After saying this, no one in the village disagreed.

Originally, their Zhuangzi was similar to the Huang family's Zhuangzi, and there were many people working in the Chu paper workshop in the village. Then, their Zhuangzi was given to Chu Anjun by the original owner...

The owners have changed. If they don't obey, if the tenancy rent is changed, it won't be worthwhile.

"Also, about the matter of renting." Huang Yin suddenly remembered what Huang Yueying said.

"Mr. Sir, please speak."

"Chu Anjun said, no matter how many percent you paid for the rent in the past, when you come to her, you only need to pay 50%. In this way, the risks are shared and the harvest is shared." Huang Yin shouted to everyone around him.

"What? Fifty percent?"

"Really 50%?"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chu An!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chu An!"

Then someone shouted.

Huang Yin then got on his horse and said, "Let's go to the next one!"

So, the group of people rushed to the next village in a hurry.

…

Inside Huangjiazhuang, Mianyang County Magistrate Yang Shuo was kneeling in his seat, not daring to speak loudly to the veiled girl in front of him.

He originally came to pay homage to Duke Chengyan.

But as soon as Huang Chengyan heard about his purpose, he directly asked Chu Anjun to entertain him.

Made him a little nervous.

After all, this little girl was rewarded by the emperor just a few months ago. Just because of the rewarded fields, several hairs of his hair turned gray. In addition, there are rumors that this little girl learned to grow flowers.

According to what the layman said...he became even more nervous.

"County Magistrate Yang, please don't be offended if I don't treat you well." Huang Yueying smiled gently and looked at the magistrate. Well, this was the first time she had seen a county-level official of this era.

When she was awarded the title before, these people also sent people to congratulate her, but of course, they only sent people.

After all, they all have their own official duties to attend to.

"Young lady, don't be like this." Yang Shuo smiled gently, but the teacup in his hand was held tightly.

"I didn't know Magistrate Yang was coming this time..."

"Oh, it's about the Quyuan plow." Yang Shuo went straight to the point, "A few days ago, Mr. Huang Yin was looking for carpenters and blacksmiths in the county and asked them to make a kind of plow."

"Indeed, spring plowing is coming, and now I have so many more fields... If I don't prepare everything, I'm afraid the land will be wasted." Huang Yueying nodded. To put it simply, because there are too many fields, I'm afraid there won't be enough oxen, and there will be too many oxen.

The shaft plow is indeed more convenient than the current plow, and it is certainly better to prepare more.

"I'm not talented. Although I haven't experienced the hard work of spring plowing and summer harvest, I still know a thing or two about farming. Therefore... I once asked Mr. Huang Yin for a curved shaft plow and let him try it..." Yang Shuo smiled helplessly.

He said, "But I never expected that no matter who I found to try the plow, they all said that this plow is very good and much easier to use than the previous plows."

"This is indeed true. Otherwise, I would not have asked Brother Shuhu to prepare more plows." Huang Yueying knew the purpose of coming to her house.

"So, I have something to ask for." Yang Shuo then straightened his body, bowed his hands, and bowed his head slightly. This was his attitude of asking for help.

"The county magistrate please speak."

"I believe that this plow will do great good to the people's livelihood and the country. I am willing to report it to the state pastor for Chu Anjun, and even the emperor will come to ask for merit."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows slightly but did not answer.

Seeing this, Yang Shuo paused and said, "This is one of them."

"Magistrate, please continue."

"Secondly, we have countless farmers in Mianyang County, but there are not enough cattle for farming. Therefore, I want to ask Chu Anjun for a favor for the people, and hope to promote this plow in the county.

To this end, I will fully cooperate with you.”

After hearing this, Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate is polite. This plow was originally made for thousands of people. The county magistrate can report the matter of this plow to the Zhou Mu. As for whether to report it to the emperor, that is the Zhou Mu."

It’s decided.”

Yang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Exactly so! Exactly so!"

"How does the county magistrate plan to promote this plow?"

"Mobilize craftsmen and materials from all over the county, and even collect corvees this year, and promote this plow as soon as possible. It is still half a decade before spring sowing, and it is not impossible to even delay spring sowing."

"What do you mean by the county magistrate, do you want to use my Qu Yuan Plow as a political achievement?" Huang Yueying asked with a smile, her tone was neither serious nor serious.

Yang Shuo suddenly started to sweat. He wanted to get this for free.

But he will also ask for credit for Huang Yueying.

When he realized it at this moment, he didn't need his help to ask for credit at all!

Zhou Mu is her uncle! Zhou Mu even gave him three thousand acres of land...

He wanted to achieve political achievements, but found that today's issues could not be solved in the past way.

"Don't blame me, I didn't make it clear." Yang Shuo quickly changed his words, "I want to work with you to coordinate the craftsmen and materials in the county, just to promote this plow and alleviate the suffering of the people."

"No, no, no, it's the county magistrate who wants to promote it." Huang Yueying sighed inwardly. People in this era are a bit confused.

Her name and the kindness she wants to do will slowly spread, so there is no rush for this moment.

On the other hand, once the Quyuan Plow is promoted in Mianyang, it will be promoted throughout Jingzhou, benefiting not only the common people, but also the aristocratic families.

It's free for people to use, she doesn't care.

But if it's free for aristocratic families, that's all she wants.

This is the third chapter today.

Please give me all kinds of blessings, my dear friends.

See you tomorrow~
