Chapter 565 Planting Hope (Additional update for brothers Lanlan Lanlanlan)
"You can't do it, you can't do it!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly helped Shi Laowu: "Old man, your son sacrificed his life for the country. This is a great righteousness and integrity. How can I accept his worship? You see, sooner or later, the sky above my head will be
Green, God won’t keep you blind!”
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
At some point, a boy of about ten years old walked out of a group of children who were playing and running with branches, and a little girl of about seven or eight years old began to circle around Shi Laowu.
"Hey, you are tired from running, Hutou, Huniu, kowtow to the Lord!"
The two children looked at Young Master Liu blankly, but they still obeyed their grandfather and knelt down to him.
"Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, it will ruin your life!"
Before the two children could kneel down, they were stopped by Liu Mingzhi. He couldn't stand the habit of kneeling down at every turn.
It never happened like this when I was in Jinluan Palace!
The two children looked timidly at Liu Mingzhi, who was dressed in bright clothes, said something to their grandfather, and then went to play with a group of children.
"My lord, I wonder what your lord wants to plant? Although the land belongs to me, my lord should think it over carefully. You can't grow good crops on sandy soil, and you have worked hard for nothing for a year!"
I completely admire Shi Laowu and Liu Mingzhi who have a kind and honest nature.
"Old man, could you please call all the people in the village who are free at home and can farm, adults, children, and women? They can help me plant the things I brought. For one tael of silver each, I will take care of the meal!"
Shi Laowu looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "Are you all coming?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the more than ten acres of land and then at the sky: "There are about fifty people, and the old people are busy!"
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Old Man Wu and others looked at Shi Laowu with envy. Dashicun was lucky enough to meet a gentleman with such a good conscience today.
The old man Niu of Woniu Village looked at the stones on the boundary. He was one step away, and all the benefits were taken by Dashi Village.
Shi Laowu waved to a young man watching from a distance: "Sheng Wazi, come here, come here quickly!"
"Hey, uncle, what do you have to say?"
Shi Laowu gave some instructions to Sheng Wazi and saw Sheng Wazi running towards Dashi Village with joy.
"Sir, please take me to see the seeds you brought!"
"Come here, some old people. You are experts in farming. If there is anything you don't understand, I'll have to ask you for advice!"
"My lordship is joking, the banker doesn't ask for advice on what to do!"
"Liu Song, Xiao Wu, Han Zhong, please take people to untie the hemp rope from the ox cart! Follow the old man to transport the ox cart over there!"
"yes!"
"Willow Pine!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Go to Tongyuan County and buy ten roasted whole lambs, twenty jars of good wine, and ten stewed pigs!"
"Ah? Can you eat so much?"
"Just go if you are told to go. Where does all this nonsense come from?"
"Yes, yes, little one, go right here."
Shi Laowu and the other old men were a little confused when they saw the bundles of sweet potato seedlings being brought down by the servants of the Liu family. They had no idea what they were!
"Sir, is this a wild vegetable?"
Shi Laowu held up a seedling and looked at Liu Mingzhi curiously.
"Old man, this is called sweet potato. It's a new type of food. I can't tell you how much it will produce. We have to try it first to find out. Anyway, the sandy soil in your house is shaking. Just plant it.
!”
"That's what I said, but I'm really afraid, Sir, that your efforts are in vain. Can these sweet potato seedlings survive?"
"Old man, I still say the same thing, don't draw conclusions prematurely, you have to try it to know whether it is successful or not!"
Shi Laowu nodded gently: "Whatever the Lord says is whatever you say. Just plant whatever you want in the wasteland!"
While they were talking, a large number of people in their forties and fifties came out of Dashi Village, carrying various hoes and farm tools. They were men, women, old and young. Just now Shengwazi was leading the way, waving his fingers excitedly and saying something!
"Dad, have you been deceived? How can such a good thing happen? You still have to take care of the food for one tael of silver a day. What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Brother is right, Dad, have you been fooled?"
Two sturdy young men walked out of the crowd and walked over to Shi Laowu as he spoke. They all looked at Young Master Liu and his group with unkind expressions, as if they regarded them as liars!
Shi Laowu smiled awkwardly at Young Master Liu and immediately glared at his two sons with a tigerish face: "Don't be careless, why don't you salute the lord!"
"Your Majesty?"
"Uncle Tongtong Yuan?"
"That's right, salute quickly!"
"No, no, don't kneel down, you can't stand it, really!"
After learning that Liu Mingzhi's identity was his own, the two sons of Shi Laowu of the Zhu family became cautious, and the group of men, women, and children behind them also became cautious!
"Thank you for troubling me, folks!"
Liu Mingzhi walked to the field with a seedling in his hand and a shovel: "Everyone, just wait until the trench is finished and plant it directly like this!"
A group of people in Dashi Village looked at each other in disbelief. This was too simple.
Originally, these people were a little uneasy. One tael of silver a day must be a laborious task, so they all carried out the most durable farm tools at home. It was surprising that such a simple task turned out to be such a simple one.
This one tael of silver earned made them feel uneasy.
Shi Laowu also had the same idea and walked up to Young Master Liu: "Sir, is this too simple?"
"Listen to me, just plant like this. After the ground is plowed with oxen, you can dig up the ditch and make it look like a long. The spacing is about one foot, and the seedlings are about half a foot apart. Put all the seedlings
Plant them all.”
"Okay, I understand. If there is anything else that needs attention, let me tell them clearly!"
"Yeah! Don't tread hard on the soil. If you water it, half a scoop is enough. That's all!"
"Little brother, go give me some instructions!"
Watching Shi Laowu explaining to the villagers, Liu Mingzhi waved: "Han Zhong, untie the ox cart and replace it with the prepared plow, and then hand it over to these villagers who know how to use oxen!"
"I understand, Sir!"
Dozens of people started working vigorously, it was full of enthusiasm!
Shi Laowu and others looked at the twenty bullocks with envy in their eyes. Bullocks are too expensive. It takes five years of harvest to buy one cow.
Liu Mingzhi had prepared twenty oxen to follow the carriage early, just because he was afraid that the people in Tongyuan County would have no cattle to use. Facts have proved that Liu Mingzhi's idea was right.
Seeing the common people driving the oxen to plow the fields, Mr. Liu was satisfied, and the sweet potatoes were finally planted.
"Brother Shi, why don't you go and ask the Lord how the plow he used was made? It's so easy to use!"
The old man Niu from Woniu Village touched Shi Laowu.
"Yes, Brother Shi, just go and ask. Look, the speed of plowing the ground is more than five times faster than our plow!"
"You guys, don't be blind and worried. If this is Sir Alex's secret, don't worry about it!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't know what several people were murmuring about.
Watching the group of people farming step by step, they stretched out their arms and let out a long sigh.
"This young master has brought hope to Dalong. The new dragon is just around the corner!"
ps: Brothers Lanlan Lanlan, pay back the rest slowly!
