Chapter 128： Festival Rewards

Chapter 128 Rewards

Yan Fengchi is hiding quite deep.

They have known each other for many years. Although the two hadn't seen each other for many years before he came to Jiang, in fact, they didn't meet often when they arrived in Linjiang, but they still exchanged letters with each other. mention less.

Cut, what's the matter? I will not be jealous of you.

Li Xingjian slandered a few words, and asked and answered Lingzhou, and the chat was quite lively.

When they arrived at a wasteland where the weeds were burned, Lingzhou smiled and said, "Xiao Xun said that she wanted to farm the land, but the elders in the family dared not use the fertile fields to call her to play, so our brothers burned this piece of wasteland by the mountain and wanted to open up some wasteland. Let her do whatever she wants."

Li Xingjian thought to himself, your parents are quite reliable, but your brothers are not very reliable, and they doted on that girl too much. She was a girl who said she wanted to farm, so you would open up wasteland for her. If you use common sense, what can an eight or nine-year-old girl grow?

Well, that girl can't handle it with common sense.

Maybe his expression was too straightforward, Lingzhou smiled and said, "Although Xiaoxun is a little naughty sometimes, but she won't really make trouble, she is very sensible."

There are too many brothers in the family, and there are only three younger sisters in total, so of course they should be spoiled.

But Su Er was calm and steady, so that those of them who were older brothers couldn't find the feeling of being a human elder brother. Yu Er was squeamish and could only pet and protect her, for fear of hurting her. Xiaoxun is different, he can be noisy, like a kid, and he is naturally closer to them.

Although I sometimes want to beat her with anger, isn't she obviously sensible these past few months? And in front of outsiders, of course, my sister needs to be protected.

Li Xingjian didn't talk about this with Lingzhou. He pointed at the plough that was dragged to the wasteland by Brother Monkey and said, "How to try?"

As soon as he said that, he saw a child riding on an old scalper and waving at them.

"Brother, you said you want cattle to plough the land, and my father asked me to bring the cattle here."

"Xiao Jiu, why did you send it?"

"Brothers are all busy, Xiao Shi is too young and I don't want to take him, so I came here alone."

Lingzhou stepped forward and took him off the cow, waited for him to stand up, and asked him to greet Li Xingjian.

Xiao Jiulingye patted the ashes on his body, and then he handed over the compilation, and said crisply: "Boy Yan Lingye, I have seen the county magistrate."

Li Xingjian felt that although this Yanjia Village was a mountain village, it was full of outstanding people. Looking at this child who was only five or six years old, he was not only afraid of strangers, but also generous and polite.

After Li Xingjian said the courtesy, he asked him how old he was and whether he was studying. Although Xiao Jiu spoke in a milky voice, he answered one by one clearly. After answering, he tilted his head and looked at Li Xingjian curiously, saying: " My father said that Lord Xianzun is our parental official and the most powerful person in Linjiang, but I saw that although you look majestic, you are not scary. My second uncle is just like you, so I am not afraid of him ."

Li Xingjian was amused and laughed: "They are all people with two eyes, one nose and one mouth, how can they be scary? Although I am a parental official, I can't say that I am the most powerful person. I see that your cousin Hao fights very well. He is the most powerful person, and your elder brother is also very good at reading. It can be seen that the saying that he is the most powerful is not correct. It can only be said that people are good at different things. Where they are good at, they are the most powerful people. You can become the most powerful person in any field. Little guy, do you understand?"

Xiaojiu nodded: "I understand, my second uncle is the best in our family, because he can become an official in the future. My sister Xiaoxun is also very good, because she will make toys for us, and she does a good job. My brother Hao, he It’s not that powerful, is it? He doesn’t beat us. You are also powerful, just as powerful as my second uncle. My father said that all officials are powerful. official."

Li Xingjian laughed again: "Have ambition. How about your reading?"

"My second uncle said that I read well, and praised me for being smart." Xiao Jiu was very modest.

"Then you have to work hard. If you want to be admitted to the rank and file and become an official, it is not enough just to be smart. You have to be diligent and persevere."

Xiaojiu nodded: "I'm very diligent, I get up at dawn every day to study."

Li Xingjian rubbed the boy's head and said with a smile, "Very good, keep going."

Brother Monkey felt that this kid was talking too much, so he picked it up and put it on the side of the road, saying: "We are busy with business, you can go play. There is something delicious at home, you go to find your third sister to get it."

Xiaojiu's eyes lit up when she heard that there was delicious food, she saluted Li Xingjian, and ran quickly to his sister Su'er's house.

Lingzhou put the plough on the old ox, and let Brother Monkey drive the ox, and he was in charge of pressing the plough.

Brother Monkey has even managed the Heavenly Horse in the Immortal Realm, driving an old scalper, isn't that a catch? From time to time, a minute or so of land is plowed.

Li Xingjian squatted down, checked the depth of the cultivated land and the size of the clods, and nodded involuntarily.

This level of deep ploughing is difficult to achieve if you replace it with manual labor or common ploughs in the world.

is also fast enough.

can indeed greatly increase the time for farming, especially in saving manpower.

If such a plough-type plough can be popularized on a large scale, in both spring and autumn, farmers will have to spend less effort.

The most important thing is that Li Xingjian looked at this wasteland and thought of the most important point. If manpower is saved, it is of course impossible to be idle. Even if he does not advocate it, as long as the policy of reclaiming wasteland is relaxed and tax-free for the last five years, the people of Linjiang will be freed. They will inevitably open up wasteland independently, and in a few years, there will be a considerable amount of fertile land in Linjiang.

Brother Monkey and Lingzhou also stopped, walked up to Li Xingjian and asked, "How do you think the effect of ploughing the land?"

Li Xingjian nodded: "It's really good, it can save at least three times the manpower. If there are no livestock and only manpower, what is the effect?"

Lingzhou said: "We tried it before, and we couldn't achieve such a deep ploughing level, but it is still much better than the plows on the market, and at least it can save more than double the manpower."

"That's good, the county will come forward before the spring ploughing, build the last batch, and promote it during the spring ploughing. Even if the common people can't afford it, they can rent it from the county government office. Thanks to Haoer, the county government office just has a little finance recently. Income, haha, to make plows, enough."

Lingzhou said: "The threshing machine can also be promoted first by renting, but unfortunately this season, there is no way for adults to see the effect of the threshing machine. But Xiaoxun explained the operation principle of the threshing machine. The boy thought it was practical. The effect will never be bad. You can make a batch in advance."

Lingzhou is full of confidence in his little sister.

Washing machines and ploughs have both proven practical efficiency, and there is no reason why threshing opportunities will fail.

And he has seen the threshing machine made by Xiaoxun and Haodi, and it should really work.

In Li Xingjian's heart, Yan's family Xiaoxun considered him Li Xingjian's long-term friendship, and he also trusted this early-witted genius, he said, "Yes, the craftsmen and materials are the responsibility of the county government. Provide it. In addition to being named after the Yan family, I will give another reward to the Yan family. What reward do you want?"

Lingzhou and Brother Monkey looked at each other.
