Chapter 251 Yuanbao comes on stage

 Where is the farmland for farming?

This is definitely not a side show, now we just need a stage.

Someone recognized Xu Jiang standing at the edge of the field and couldn't help but come forward and say hello: "Village Chief, is this the job you asked us to do?"

"I..." Xu Jiang looked at the scene in front of him, and when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it.

The man chuckled and said: "Village Chief, we are all honest people who work hard. We can't do your work even if we come here!"

‘That’s right! We definitely can’t do it!’ someone echoed from the side.

Someone else interjected: "Mr. Village Chief, if they work on the land like this for a day, can they get paid?"

Xu Jiang was speechless when asked, staring at those strong but clumsy people with no experience in working on farmland, and said coldly: "If you don't get paid, you have to be sent to jail."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips at the officers and soldiers beside him.

The others followed his gaze and fell silent.

It seems that their choice is correct.

The Xia family is a poor household in Shiliba Village. Working for his family is not a loss of face, and the copper coins must not be earned.

Xia Qianqian listened to the comments of the people around her, raised her eyes to look at the noisy scene, and gave Gong Xiaoba a wink.

Gong Xiaoba understood and said sternly: "It turns out that you are not experts at work at all, but you disguised yourself as strong men and came to the Xia family to defraud and extort wages and oppress the common people. You have evil intentions. All of you will be arrested."

Lian Gouzi was held down by two soldiers with their hands behind their backs. He was unconvinced and said: "It's not that we are incompetent, it's that the cattle and the plow are not suitable at all and cannot work, which led to the current result."

As he spoke, he raised his voice to the villagers passing by: "Come and comment on us, have you ever seen a plow like this?"

Everyone raked the two-meter-long and one-meter-high plow, looking left and right, shaking their heads.

I have never seen such a big guy before!

When Lian Gouzi saw the confused looks in everyone's eyes, he finally seized the opportunity and argued: "If a scalper pulls something that can't work, we don't know how to do it. Naturally, we can't do the work. What's so strange about this? Why should we be judged by it?"

Not good at farming?"

He is quite eloquent.

Xia Qianqian was too lazy to fight with him, so she pulled the ingot beside her and walked towards the end of the field.

When she came to the plow, she taught: "Yuanbao, come and plow this land."

A group of strong people can't control those oxen to plow the land. How can a child plow the land?

Simply...

The people on the side all cast disdainful looks.

Even Xu Jiang's eyes flashed with doubt.

Li Yunniang couldn't believe it. She held Yuanbao in her arms and said timidly: "Qianqian, can Yuanbao do it?"

Those people were working in the fields and couldn't control the scalpers, so they just turned somersaults. How could a person as young as Yuan Bao control two scalpers?

Li Yunniang is particularly worried, afraid that Yuan Bao will be injured.

Xia Qianqian took Yuan Bao's hand and said confidently: "Go ahead, just lead the cows like you usually do."

Although Yuan Bao is young and small in stature, he rides in a bullock cart all day long and watches Uncle Wang driving cattle. Subtly, he is particularly good at driving cattle.

Encouraged by her sister, Yuanbao rolled up his trouser legs and got off the ground.

Geng Zhong on the side went to the ground in time and helped him put the rake away.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuan Bao stepped forward, first stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the cow's belly, then turned around and came to the cow's head.

He took out a handful of fried soybeans from his trouser pocket and handed it over.

The ox sniffed it, rolled its tongue, and lost half of it.

Yuan Bao laughed, grabbed another handful and handed it to another cow.

The ox couldn't wait to take a bite.

Yuan Bao took the opportunity to touch the heads of the two oxen and said to himself: "It's time to work. When you help us plow the land, I will ask my sister to give you good food."

The two scalpers seemed to understand his words and mooed at him.

Seeing this, Yuanbao grabbed the reins and took the lead.

Seeing this, the two oxen took steps and started walking forward.

As the cattle move forward, the rake they drag behind them digs into the soil.

The seemingly clumsy rake had countless hook knives rolling back and forth. Suddenly, the stiff land was rolled up, one after another, which made people feel emotional.

Before Xue Bing became a soldier, he was also a farmer. Especially since he built this thing himself, he naturally wanted to try its power.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately formed a group of two, with one person leading the ox and the other looking after the plow, and they started plowing from one side of the field to the other.

"Wait!" Xia Qianqian called him and explained: "This is an all-in-one tillage and seeding machine, and you have forgotten one step."

As she spoke, she turned around and took down a bag of cotton seeds from the car, and warned: "Pour the seeds into the funnel above. Pay attention later. If the seeds are used up, fill them up in time."

"Okay!"

Everyone unloaded the seeds from the trolley, poured them into the hopper on the rake, and started working.

Ten oxen and five rakes passed by at once, covering a distance of ten feet, plowing and sowing.

Ten people and ten cows, at this rate, can plant such a large piece of land in about a day.

If we hire people, it would take about ten days for forty people to hoe the ground, loosen the soil, plant and bury the furrows, and go back and forth.

This is impossible!

For generations of people who have faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, working with a hoe and a shovel, such a tool that replaces human power is simply the beginning of their nightmare.

If everyone uses these gadgets, who will hire them in the future?

Some people thought about this and couldn't help but scornfully said: "Can we really farm in this way? Don't be opportunistic and end up making people laugh."

Opportunistic and generous?

Not bad!

Xia Qianqian glanced sideways at that person and couldn't help but admire him in her heart.

This person still has some ink in his belly.

But...

He is just too short-sighted.

The replacement of labor by machines is an inevitable trend of the development of the times.

In order to survive, you can only work harder.

She was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Geng Zhong and Xue Tou led a group of people to start the farming mode.

The scalpers were very obedient in their hands, and the group of people worked enthusiastically.

On the plowed ground, not only has the land been hoed, but the soil has become very soft.

Xu Jiang couldn't help but jumped down from the ground, bent down and threw the ground away with his hands, and found a few cotton seeds about three inches above the ground.

He picked up one and said in great surprise: "Look, it's really planted below the ground automatically, but..."
