Straight man of steel

Chapter 58 The season of spring planting (please recommend tickets for collection)
On the morning of the second day after arriving in Chengdu, Zhang Yuan went to go through the formalities with Li Jian, and then saw the second gift he mentioned when he returned home.

"Brother Li really has a heart."

Li Jian is also very satisfied with the two gifts he gave. The gifts don't care how expensive they are, the most important thing is whether the host needs them or not.

"It's just a plaque, it doesn't cost a lot of money, I just saw Zhang Yuan that you didn't pay attention to this thing when you were in Linqiong, so you just did it casually.

Chengdu is no better than Linqiong. This is a county town, and there are more nobles coming and going. All these superficial efforts must be done well. "

Zhang Yuan looked at the plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion with the word "Zhang Mansion" written on it, and he felt grateful to Li Jian in his heart. Li Jian was right, even if he didn't walk around with other people, he had to do his best on the surface .

"Thank you Brother Li, I understand."

This thank you, Zhang Yuan said sincerely.

"Zhang Yuan, I also contacted you about the [-] acres of land you mentioned, the price of three gold cakes.

If you don't have any comments, I'll let someone take your Ah Huang later, right?
Take him directly to trade. If you want to grow some food, take advantage of the spring plowing and quickly recruit a few tenant farmers to get busy. "

Li Jian had thought about everything, Zhang Yuan was still quite embarrassed, he just wanted to end these things quickly, and the burden in his heart was less.

"Okay, brother Li, of course I can trust it, let Ah Huang handle it now."

Because he wanted the [-] mu of land to be put under Ah Huang's name, Zhang Yuan also returned his Xie Liang document to him, otherwise he would have no way to apply for household registration.

Li Jian stayed in Chengdu for another two days, taking Zhang Yuan to eat, drink and have fun everywhere as a landlord. Although Zhang Yuan was anxious to get Qu Yuanli out, he was too embarrassed to refuse Li Jian's kindness.

It wasn't until Li Jian was sent away from Chengdu that Zhang Yuan relaxed. To be honest, he was really not used to such a life.

It is more suitable for Zhang Yuan to stay at home, eat, sleep and eat.

The biggest difference between a curved plow and a long plow is that one plow shaft is curved and the other is straight, and there is an additional plow disc that can rotate freely.

Only the plow shovel and the walls of the plow were made of iron. Zhang Yuan asked Xiong Daxiong Er to find a blacksmith shop and buy two pieces of wrought iron to do it himself.

Then the materialized Quyuanli pattern was handed over to the carpenter Uncle Zhao, and the entire wooden structure was handed over to him.

Three days later, Zhang Yuan saw the finished product.

Quyuanli is much less labor-intensive than Changyuanli, and Zhang Yuan doesn't even have to buy cattle.

With all the strong men in the family, they headed towards the field outside the city. Ah Huang is now the nominal owner of the field, and has never returned to Zhang's mansion since he got the land deed.

He stayed directly in the house next to the farmland. When Zhang Yuan bought it, he brought a house with [-] acres of land.

This is also the first time for Zhang Yuan to come here. The farmlands of other people's houses have already been planted with corn, but only his own land is still barren.

"Go ahead."

Zhang Yuan yelled, and Xiong Da alone took Quyuanli's plowing rope, carried Quyuanli to pull it forward and controlled the direction, and there were two people behind pushing the tip of the plow to let Xiong Da plow the ground It doesn't take that much effort.

Because the surrounding area is the fields of self-cultivated farmers, there are no honorable fiefdoms here, so a small village was naturally formed. The name is Sunjia Village, and there should be more people with the surname Sun.

It is estimated that there have been no nobles in this village for a long time, and everyone is very curious about Zhang Yuan and his group.

The Shu brocade robe that Zhang Yuan was wearing was not something ordinary people could afford to wear. It was a strange thing for a noble nobleman to go to the fields to cultivate the land these days.

Although even the emperor would go to the fields to plow the fields every spring in Chang'an, which was hundreds of miles away, it was obvious that such a custom did not exist in remote areas like Shu County.

The nobles should be superior and should not be contaminated with these things.

Zhang Yuan had the idea of ​​becoming a farmer in his heart, but he was not in a hurry.

If you can buy all the fields in this village, and then build the village into a self-sufficient manor, it would be quite good to stay away from the world and have nothing to do with the world.

Thirty mu of land is considered a small household in this village, and other families have at least a hundred mu of land.

Because the harvest is not high, these self-cultivating farmers have very little rest time. The father and son of Han Wendi and Han Jingdi are still very considerate of the people. The tax is not very high. The family can plant [-] mu of land and still have [-] shi of grain left over every year. .

But Zhang Yuan didn't do it for food and drink, just for the mission, he didn't care about the output at all.

"How many acres of land can you cultivate in a day?"

After watching for a long time, Xiong Da pulled Qu Yuanli to finish plowing a small field. Zhang Yuan was a little bored and asked Uncle Zhao.

"My lord, the Quyuan plow you designed is so fast that you don't even need an ox to pull it.

According to Xiong Da's speed, [-] mu of land can be plowed in five days. "

Six acres a day is still slow, but Zhang Yuan can continue to wait patiently.

"Old Zhao, let's go back first and let them continue plowing the land."

Old Zhao bowed slightly and nodded.

"Here."

Zhang Yuan didn't know how many seeds the system would give him at one time, so he thought that he couldn't let Ah Huang and the others scatter the corn seeds after plowing the land.

"Ah Huang, when all the [-] acres of land are plowed, tell me first when you get back, don't rush to sow seeds."

"The villain knows."

Because Lao Zhao is older and more stable and reliable in his work, Zhang Yuan asked him to be the housekeeper of Zhang's house, and other issues in the house except finances were handed over to Lao Zhao.

Li Jian sent twenty maids, and Xiao Qing was only used to clean the house. Zhang Yuan asked her to take care of the money. Although they didn't do a good job, there were no oversights with Lao Zhao checking them. .

When spring comes, all things recover, and some animals begin to spring, and humans are no exception.

But what Zhang Yuan didn't expect was that it was Lao Zhao who was the first to feel spring in this mansion, and he didn't know whether his stuff would work or not.

It may be that the identity of the housekeeper is more powerful in the hearts of those maidservants. Lao Zhao hooked up Ah Hong, the oldest among the twenty maidservants, in just five days.

"Old Zhao, how old are you, it's not that I don't let you find a wife.

Shouldn't you find a widow with children when you are looking for a wife, so that you can have children to take care of you when you are old. "

Maybe it was too boring, Zhang Yuan began to worry about Lao Zhao's personal affairs.

As a result, Old Zhao looked at Zhang Yuan with an aggrieved face, and said hoarsely.

"Sir, the villain has just turned [-] this year, and Ahong is only five or six years younger than the villain.

The villain still wants to put in a fight and give birth to a seed of his own. "

Only 30 years old?How many things have you experienced, old Zhao, to develop this vicissitudes of life.
