Dr. Xu selected the complete version of "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow" and couldn't wait to appreciate this medical classic that had been famous for a long time but had never been able to see the full picture, and then copied it down.
Yang Qian, on the other hand, looked helplessly among the medical classics and took out all the fragments and fragments of books. In the light and leisurely burning incense, accompanied by Zhili's increasingly proficient piano music,
Started reading at night.
The sound of Yang Qian's reading resounded once again in the sky above the Yang Mansion. Countless people in the Yang Mansion, with a kind of admiration and emotion, fell sweetly into sleep under the hypnotic sound of Yang Qian's reading.
.
Early the next morning, Hu Wei personally led the team, led dozens of tenants from the Hu Mansion, and drove 43 cattle towards Daze Village.
Hu Wei was so enthusiastic that the Han family personally received the junior. After Hu Wei exchanged greetings with the Han family, he and Yang Qian went to the newly cultivated land on the bank of the Yellow River.
There were forty-three more cattle to help out, and together with the original seven, there were a total of fifty cattle. The scene looked very impressive.
Unfortunately, five of the crop handlers who were already proficient in operating the curved-turn plow left, and the remaining two could only give instructions and demonstrate how to operate the curved-turn plow.
After a whole morning, they didn't plow a few acres of land, but they were already so exhausted that the two Yang family's crops were so tired that their voices became hoarse.
However, after a morning of trial operation for education, novice drivers can finally get on the road. Although the speed is still not as fast as that of experienced drivers, the efficiency will show up once the running-in period is over.
"This is the real skill of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood without fail. With these forty-three cattle, I have more confidence in reclaiming these ten thousand acres of wasteland."
Yang Qian looked at the cattle moving forward side by side. The farmers behind were working hard to maintain the stability of the plow.
The soil was cut open and turned up by the hard and sharp plow, revealing its original color. The roots of the weeds were broken, and earthworms could even be seen curling up in the turned up soil...
At noon, the servants of the Yang Mansion delivered food and distributed it to the tenants and villagers who were working hard.
Among the villagers who came to reclaim the wasteland, in addition to some of them being paid directly according to how much they worked for a day, some were villagers from Daze Village who had signed a land lease contract document with the Yang Mansion.
They leased fields from the Yang Mansion, ranging from a hundred acres to dozens of acres, and the harvest they received would be divided between them and the Yang Mansion on a 40-60 basis.
Because the seeds, cattle, and many other production tools they needed were provided by Yang Mansion.
As for the fields cultivated by the tenants of the Yang Mansion, they are divided 50-50 with the Yang Mansion. Because they are tenants of the Yang Mansion, they are naturally different from those common people with household registration.
There was a dependency relationship between the tenant farmers and the landlords. Those tenant farmers took shelter from the Yang family and were included in the Yang family's family register. They did not need to pay taxes to the court, but only dealt with the Yang family.
Especially since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when wars have been frequent, countless helpless peasants have given shelter to powerful landowners and been included in their family registers.
The powerful landowners ensured their safety and allowed them to continue farming to make ends meet. Naturally, their output also needed to be handed over to the powerful landowners who protected them.
Moreover, powerful landowners do not need to pay taxes, which is equivalent to robbing the country of population resources.
After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, taxes were obviously calculated based on "Ding". Only after Ding men obtained the land, they had to use the crops they cultivated to pay household taxes and land taxes. Others had their own tax quotas based on their status.
The imperial court also required that wealthy families who had hidden households during the troubled times must set up their own household registration, which would serve as the basis for the imperial court to compile household registrations. Those who made false declarations would be punished.
For this reason, if people want to change from farmers to tenants dependent on powerful men or officials, they must obtain the consent of the government. However, the Sui Dynasty still collects taxes relatively fairly.
In addition, the government is not willing to reduce tax revenue because the people take shelter from powerful landlords. Therefore, when ordinary people do not have enough land at home or hope to live a more prosperous life, they often rent land from powerful landlords.
.
Just like the 10,000 acres of wasteland in the Yang Mansion, except for the 1,000 acres that Yang Qian planned to use to test-plant rice, the remaining 9,000 acres have been rented to the villagers of Daze Village.
The food is quite rich, including cages of corn and rice, jars of pickles, leeks and eggs, and of course Yang's specialty Xiangxiang Sauce.
Many people picked up large bowls, mixed the insect paste into the rice, and then ate it deliciously with pickles, leeks and eggs.
Hu Wei was Yang Qian's guest, so he naturally didn't have to compete with the tenant farmers for food. Zhili brought a huge food box and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
The same sumptuous dishes were placed in front of both of them, a plate of roasted chicken, a plate of leeks and eggs, a bowl of mutton soup, a plate of insect paste and a plate of pickles. There was also half a cage full of corn rice.
Beside.
"Brother Xian, you don't have to fill me up so much, and you're not afraid of supporting me."
Seeing Yang Qian actually snatching the rice spoon from Zhili's hand and starting to help himself with the food, Hu Wei was very moved by Yang Qian's hospitality.
"Brother, are you sure this bowl is enough?" Yang Qian handed Hu Wei the bowl of juicy rice and asked uncertainly.
"It's natural. Brother Yu, it's not like you don't know how much I eat." Hu Wei nodded with certainty and smiled. "Eh..."
Hu Wei saw Yang Qian add another bowl of rice, which was also pressed tightly and had already emerged, and placed it in front of him.
"Brother, you are laughing. I think this is because I have grown taller during this period, so my appetite has increased dramatically. Brother, please..."
Hu Wei nodded suddenly, picked up the bowl, and smelled the fragrance of the corn. "I see. In the past, dear brother, it was extremely, extremely..."
Before Hu Wei finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, and he saw Yang Qian, who was sitting elegantly opposite him, opened his mouth, plucked his chopsticks, and all of a sudden half a bowl of corn rice disappeared without a trace.
.
After Yang Qian swallowed the corn in his mouth as quickly as swallowing air, he saw Hu Wei holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, looking at him blankly.
He couldn't help but smile shyly. "I'm a little hungry, I'm in a hurry to eat, please don't blame me..." Then he pulled it politely, and one-third of the rice in the bowl was missing...
Yang Qian put down the empty bowl in his hand. Zhili, who had not yet finished the grain of rice next to him, took a nap out of thin air. He picked up the bowl with a numb face and honestly fed Yang Qian.
At this time, Hu Wei's first mouthful of rice was still in his mouth and he had not yet swallowed it. His expression was as dull as a patient suffering from acute severe facial paralysis, and he was going crazy.
