Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms
Chapter 8
Nan Xing squatted on the ground, raised her head and asked Steward Tang, "Hey, they have worked very hard, and I need to be responsible for them, right?"
"Yes, young master."
She stared at the laboring tenants and did not speak for a long time.
Nan Xing squatted until the sun was westward, and then slowly walked back to the mansion with his numb legs.
She is not very good at farming, but as a modern soul, simple optimization and screening can still be done.
The advantage of wheat is that as long as there is enough water and fertilizer, the yield can be guaranteed to increase.As long as you choose wheat varieties with better yields this year, you may be able to achieve increased yields next year.
Just as Nan Xing was in the field, he asked Steward Tang to inquire about harvesting some of the better-grown wheat this year.
Because the tenants usually have to pay the grain, Nan Xing's proposal is not too much, Tang Steward has no objection to comply.
After Nan Xing returned home, he asked the family servants to turn over the untied land in the garden.As a first-class utilitarian, she didn't intend to plant flashy flowers in the yard.
The servants of the manor were also from tenant households, but they changed to long-term labor in the end.All, as soon as Nan Xing asked, they quickly organized the garden into a place for farming.
Now, the garden is no longer a garden, it should be called "wheat experiment field".
After seeing the new place being leveled out, Nan Xing asked people to go to the back kitchen for additional meals.At this time, civilians are accustomed to eating two meals a day, and Nan Xing's order at this time is equivalent to a reward.
Someone saw that the young master had a gentle personality. Although the order to level the garden was confusing, he seemed easy to get along with, so he boldly asked, "Master, can I take the meal away? "
Hearing such words, Nan Xing stopped the steps he was about to leave, glanced at the person who asked the question, and remained silent for a while.
Seeing that the young master didn't speak, but just looked at him, the person who inquired was a little nervous, and explained awkwardly, "I want the wives and children in the family to taste the rewards from the master."
The long-term workers around also secretly observed Nan Xing's expression, sweating for the speaker.
Maybe the young master will use him to make a name for himself.
Under everyone's nervous eyes, Nan Xing showed a bright smile, "Of course, you can just talk to the kitchen directly."
Seeing that Nan Xing was not angry, everyone immediately relaxed.The young master is so merciful!
"Slave, slave."
"slave……"
Nan Xing agreed with the man to take the meal home, and the others also asked after seeing this.Take extra meals home today, so you can save a meal tomorrow.You can also let the family try something new.
"Yes, yes, everything is fine." Nan Xing kept nodding, and then asked as if thinking of something, "Which family still has children?"
Immediately, except for a few really young workers, the other long-term workers basically said how many children they had.
"For long-term workers with children, get an egg for each child when you go to the kitchen later!"
"After all, I will trouble everyone more in the future!"
In the yard, a piece of "no trouble, no trouble" suddenly came to mind.
Nan Xing bent down, looking straight at the servant kneeling on the ground.
Looking at the long-term worker who was the first to ask about the meal, he asked, "Can you bring a message to the kitchen! I won't let anyone go again."
"I know it. I know it."
When the crowd dispersed, Nan Xing turned around and returned to the room.
Lushui had already prepared water for washing, and when Nan Xing came back, he quickly handed over the handkerchief.
Nan Xing wiped his hands, feeling inexplicably heavy.If she was a real Han Dynasty person, she would probably not care about the life and death of the tenants, but as a modern person who has received an equal education, she simply cannot let those people who live in hardships ignore them.
Not to mention, she has experienced hunger and poverty.
"Lu Shui, help me get the notebook over there." Nan Xing ordered, she had to make a plan.
"Yes, young master." Lu Shui turned around and found a thick stack of books on the shelf.
Nan Xing, who writes and draws, roughly made a plan for Zhuangzi's development.
After a while, there will be a slack time for farming.There are quite a few tenants who are willing to work part-time for the host family, and Nan Xing plans to build a slightly larger facility this winter.
"Lushui, help me go to the door and have a look. If Butler Tang comes back, let him come to me."
"Yes." Lu Shui silently agreed, turned and left.
Nan Xing looked at the relatively abstract blueprints in the notebook with some headaches, and felt deeply that this was a big project.
Maybe it starts with communicating with the carpenter!
Soon, Lu Shui brought Tang Butler to the study.
"Young master, the seeds have already been picked." Tang Butler was sitting in the hall and reported, "I also harvested some rapeseed on my own initiative, which should be useful."
"Well, you can also try vegetables." Nan Xing responded with a smile.
"Can you help me find a skilled carpenter tomorrow? You can give him processing money."
"How much do you plan to add?" Steward Tang frowned in disapproval. When he came back, he had already heard that Nan Xing had given extra meals to the servants on the ground today. If this continues, Nan Xing's savings will be wiped out sooner or later. .
"Well... Let's calculate it on a piece-by-piece basis! Let him come first, and I can discuss the wages with him." Nan Xing also had no idea how much the craftsmen would be paid, so he said this.
"Understood. But I want to remind you that it's better not to be extravagant when spending money."
"I know--"
With a master who is imaginative and bold all day long, Tang Butler is only less than 25 years old this year, and he is already going to be a grandpa with so much trouble.
Without letting Nan Xing wait, Butler Tang brought the carpenter's steward to the mansion the next day.
The old steward's name was Xin. He used to be an excellent carpenter, but when he got older, he was promoted to steward and became the head carpenter.
After Jiang Xin got Nanxing's abstract carpentry drawings, although he could understand them with experience, he was a little confused.Only one looked like a plow, the others he had never seen, let alone built.
He even suspected that the little master was making fun of him.
"Young master, what are you going to do with this?" Jiang Xin decided to ask.
Fortunately, Nan Xing didn't have any pretensions, so he replied straightforwardly, "I want to try to be a Quyuanli first."
Nan Xing pointed to the simplest one on the drawing and said, "After the Quyuan plow is made, it should save manpower and livestock when plowing the land."
When the old carpenter heard that it was related to farming, Nan Xing's expression didn't look like a joke, so he took a serious look at the strange plow again.
In the end, I could only say to Nan Xing, "Old slave, go back and give it a try, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." He hasn't worked for a long time, but the juniors don't have much experience, so I'm afraid it will be bad.It's better not to make this strange farm tool for others.
As soon as Nan Xing heard that Jiang Xin had taken the job, he immediately said, "Then I'll give you the deposit first, how much do you think is suitable?"
Jiang Xin shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "In Zhuangzi, we are all your servants, and we don't need wages. If you have this kind of heart, it is the best reward."
Nan Xing is just a 7-year-old pink doll at this time. In Jiang Xin's eyes, she is similar to his little grandson, so he also said some personal words at this time.
"In fact, everyone doesn't expect to be famous, and it is a lifetime wish to be able to eat enough."
Nan Xing looked at the old craftsman in front of him with a slight smile, and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will make sure everyone is fed and clothed."
Jiang Xin smiled, taking this as a joke.Who would have thought that a child would have the ability to feed everyone in Zhuangzi?
Nan Xing didn't care what he thought, after sending away Jiang Xin, she wrote a letter to Xun Shuang.
After declaring safety, Nan Xing brought up the matter of Zhang Gui's relocation, bluntly said that there might be chaos in the court, and asked the teacher to leave Luoyang as soon as possible.Nan Xing seized the time, and waited for more than a month, the news that Emperor Heng was dying would spread from the court, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts would appear at that time.Xun Shuang is the benchmark of the gentry, it is better to avoid disaster first.
After calling a guard to deliver the letter to Xun Shuang's residence, Nan Xing really rested.
Zhang Gui didn't need to be reminded, he was more informed than she when he walked around the palace every day.Now it is estimated that even who is likely to be a demon can be guessed.
With this clothes, Nan Xing fell into a deep sleep.Tomorrow, I have to deal with those slippery stewards!
Xun Mansion at this time.
Xun Shuang looked at the letter sent by the students with a frown, then threw it into the brazier and burned it up.
The situation became more and more complicated. Xun Shuang decided to find a place to live in seclusion, but was stopped by Zhang Gui last time.But this time, it's time to go.
Thinking of his cousin Xun Yi being caught in the whirlpool, Xun Shuang felt a deep uneasiness.
The Xun family can no longer stand the blow. The last time the party rebellion pushed the Xun family from the central government to the local government, and his father and two brothers also proved the truth successively.
Xun Yi's situation was very bad, so Xun Shuang decided to have a talk with him.
Of course, he invited his cousin to the house, and Xun Shuang and Xun Yi played chess all night.At ten o'clock at dawn, Xun Yi gave up his last son with a smile on his face, and comforted Xun Shuang, "There is no need to worry about the kindness. Those who die after doing their best will have a righteous life. It is a great fortune for a gentleman to dedicate his life to the 'Tao'."
"A well-known person should not stand under a dangerous wall," Xun Shuang continued.
"Those who are in shackles are not righteous lives." Xun Yi shook his head, put his hands on the side of the chessboard, and closed them slightly.
Sure enough, even though Xun Yi knew that it was the best choice to withdraw at this time, he still stayed.The education they have received since childhood does not allow them to leave like this.
Family is important, but obviously Xun Yi still has some pursuits of his own.
Xun Shuang understood and accepted his cousin's decision.As a family member, he would naturally not stop Xun Yi; as a family member, of course he had to choose the best move.
"I will leave someday." Xun Shuang said with a wry smile.
"Then wife and children, please."
It is impossible for the Xun family to allow both clansmen to die in Luoyang City, so Xun Shuang decided to listen to Nan Xing's advice and retreat to the mountains.
The Xun family is really a family rich in gentlemen. If Nan Xing was present at this time, she would definitely be able to see in Xun Shuang and Xun Yi the "gentry spirit" that was impossible to see in her era.
"Yes, young master."
She stared at the laboring tenants and did not speak for a long time.
Nan Xing squatted until the sun was westward, and then slowly walked back to the mansion with his numb legs.
She is not very good at farming, but as a modern soul, simple optimization and screening can still be done.
