Chapter 41            This is a wasteland!

"Curve plow...is this thing complicated to make?"

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

"This plow was made by the blacksmith at the village head, and it was not complicated at all."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

hiss!

When Li Shimin heard Xu Tian say that the curved plow was made by a blacksmith at the village entrance, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

He thought that the curved plow that was lighter than the straight plow and could plow three times the land at the same time was very complicated to do the work, but he didn't expect that any blacksmith could do it.

If such a plow could be promoted in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn’t it be faster and more convenient for the people to cultivate the land in the future? The shortage of oxen in the Tang Dynasty would also be improved.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at Xu Tian with a serious expression and said, "Son-in-law, I have a heartless request for my father."

"Father-in-law, what are you saying? You are my elder. If you have any needs, just say it. As long as the son-in-law can do it, I will never refuse."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

"For your father, I want the drawing of your bent plow."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

This curved plow is of great value. If Xu Tian makes a large number of curved plows before next spring plowing, it will inevitably be bought by the people and make a lot of money.

But if this happens, the promotion of the Quaro plow will take another year. Li Shimin wanted to get the drawings and ask the people from the Ministry of Works to make a batch of them and then send them to the prefectures. When the people of each prefecture make the plow, they will all change to the Quaro plow.

Of course, this will harm Xu Tian's interests.

When Xu Tian heard Li Shimin say this, he looked at him with some surprise. Is his father-in-law's brain sick? Is it very complicated to do the Quyuan Plow?

Can't you remember what it looks like after a glance?

When Li Shimin saw Xu Tian's eyes, he thought Xu Tian was unhappy, so he said, "Son-in-law, I know that this is a bit embarrassing for you. Let's do this. You don't need to pay back the money you owe me. If you still need money, I can give you some more for you."

Fang Xuanling also understood what Li Shimin meant at this time. He wanted to promote Quyuanli in the Tang Dynasty. He also smiled and said, "Son-in-law, this is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, you may not agree."

Xu Tian said speechlessly: "Father-in-law, you are insulting your son-in-law. It's just a curved plow. This thing is not complicated to make, so where do you need drawings?"

"If my father-in-law likes it, there are still a few in my house. Just turn around and take one away and ask me for money. Wouldn't that be a dissatisfaction?"

Forehead……

Li Shimin didn't expect Xu Tian to be so generous, but he was narrow-minded. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Son-in-law, then we'll just make up for it."

Xu Tian was even more speechless and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, a curved plow costs less than a cent. If you really like it, it will be fine if I ask someone to fight a few more."

When Li Shimin heard that the cost of the Quyuan Plough was very small, he couldn't help but be even more surprised. It was really a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty to get such a virtuous son-in-law!

At this time, Wang Wenxiong, the first gentry in Qingqiu County, stood in front of his thousand acres of fertile land, frowned.

"Other farmers have started to plow the land and grow vegetables. What about our tenants?

Why no one has reclaimed?

Do they still want to farm?”

Wang Wenxiong said coldly.

"Master, this year, the tenants suffered heavy rainstorms and had no money to pay for them. They couldn't afford it. Many people went to clear the river!"

Next to Wang Wenxiong, a man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek said in a deep voice.

He is the housekeeper of the royal family, named Hou San, and he is mainly responsible for the rental and rent collection of Wang family's land.

The Wang family’s fields are fertile land, and it is easy to rent them out. However, because this year’s heavy rain caused the people to lose even the seeds, so they all refunded their rents.

In addition, the imperial court has created a labor-for-relief, which can help clear the river and get wages, so no one rents land.

"kindness?

I think they don’t want to live anymore! Go back and tell them that if they don’t come back honestly and wait until the river is cleared, they won’t want to rent my land!”

Wang Wenxiong said coldly.

"Master, this matter is not easy to deal with. The court is sending money. These troublemakers only have money in their eyes. Besides, they don't have any seeds when they come back to farm!"

Hou San said in a deep voice.

kindness?

Wang Wenxiong was about to complain a few more times when he saw a group of people turning the ground in the distance. According to his memory, it seemed that there was a wasteland of Zhang Niangeng's family?

“What is there?

Did Zhang Niangeng rent out his wasteland?”

Wang Wenxiong said in a deep voice.

He was even more angry now. His fertile land was not cultivated, and Zhang Niangeng's family's wasteland was rented out.

"Master, this place is no longer Zhang Niangeng's land. He and the abandoned salt mountain were sold to someone named Xu Tian."

Hou San said.

"Xu Tian?

Is it the one who bought a lot of grain and made a lot of money?"

Wang Wenxiong asked.

"That's right, it's him. Those people should be people he didn't know where to find. They rented his land. Unfortunately, they were all wastelands and could not grow food at all. Those who rented his land would be in trouble."

Hou San said in a deep voice.

Wang Wenxiong's eyes rolled and said, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look. I see that those people are strong and strong. If possible, rent our land for them to plant."

After saying that, Wang Wenxiong took a step towards Xu Tian's land.

"Stop! Stop! Are you fools?

Can't we see that there are wastelands here, and even if they are plowed, they cannot grow food?"

Wang Wenxiong came to Xu Tian and shouted at the people who were arable in the distance.

Hou San also said coldly: "You guys aren't here quickly?"

This is Mr. Wang Wenxiong. Our master’s land is full of fertile land. You come and say a few good things and rent it to you to cultivate!”

kindness?

The people in Heifeng Mountain are all very angry. Wang Wenxiong is so arrogant. They put down their friends and walked over to teach Wang Wenxiong some lessons.

Xu Tian was afraid that these people would cause trouble, so he walked over.

"Wang Wenxiong isn't it?

What does it mean to come to my field to make trouble?"

Xu Tian said coldly.

"You are Xu Tian?

Humph! I thought you were such a kind of person, but I didn’t expect that you were so vicious. If you were to be a wasteland, you were still at the foot of the salt mountain. Can the land here grow food?"

"This group of people rented your land and ended up starving to death!"

Wang Wenxiong said coldly.

The people in Heifeng Mountain looked puzzled. When they were arable land, they felt that there was something wrong with the arable land. Not only was it barren, but there was very little vegetation. How could such land grow crops?
