A group of people were startled, and immediately the whole place was in an uproar.
Cao Zhen even smiled bitterly: "We all know that the young master is a great talent, but you don't understand this farming matter..."
Liu Zheng smiled: "I don't understand?"
"What do you know?"
"If the straight shaft plow is burned, what will the farmers use?"
"Dandy boy, if you open your mouth, do you know how many people will not have enough to eat next year because of your words?"
The carpenters also looked at Liu Zheng coldly and made rude remarks.
Indeed, the straight-shaft plow has indeed helped mankind a lot in farming in the past thousands of years. This is a typical agricultural tool in which animal power represents human power, and it is also the crystallization of human wisdom in the history of farming.
Liu Zheng's words naturally make people think that he is an ignorant young man.
How do you know this farming thing?
Liu Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Executive member Cao, it's not that we can't plow the fields without the straight shaft plow. What I mean is that we can use more advanced tools!"
"joke!"
"More advanced?"
"Do you understand?"
The carpenter couldn't bear it anymore. Several people picked up the tools next to them and looked at Liu Zheng with unkind eyes.
Cao Zhen begged: "Mr. Liu, please don't delay the work of the craftsmen. Many tenants have left this year, and our Cao family has to hurry up..."
"You don't believe me?"
Liu Zheng said lightly: "What if I can really do it?"
He looked at Cao Zhen with a smile.
This shocked Cao Zhen. Mr. Liu's reputation as a "profiteer" has recently spread throughout Yinzhou. Originally, the Cao family and the Wang family were still resentful of the Zheng family for taking away the sales rights of those creams and perfumes, but
After hearing that the Zheng family could only get 20% of the profits, they actually gloated.
But now...
Seeing Liu Zheng's shining eyes, Cao Zhen coughed dryly: "Young Master, are you serious?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "How can farming be a trivial matter? It's better to do this. If I can really make more advanced tools..."
Cao Zhen seemed to know what Liu Zheng was thinking, and quickly jumped to his feet and said: "It can't be less than 30%, the Cao family must be at least 30%!"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, somewhat dumbfounded.
Is it necessary to be so defensive about yourself? It seems that Zheng Yueru has really promoted herself as a complete profiteer.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Cao Yuanwai thought wrong..."
"What I mean is that when it comes to farming, it should benefit the people more! Our county governor doesn't want a share of the profits and gives them all to the Cao family. However, after the Cao family starts mass production, they can't ask for high prices. At least the price should be higher than now.
The straight-shaft plow must be cheap!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Now, even the carpenters who had been cursing shut their mouths.
Don’t want a penny of profit?
Benefit the people?
For a moment, everyone looked at Liu Zheng differently.
Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he clasped his fists and bowed deeply: "Young Master has such a heart, but I, Cao Zhen, am blind! Since you are like this, our Cao family promises that if such farm tools are really produced, the Cao family will
How about not making any money?"
Liu Zheng was quite surprised.
Everyone also praised him for his great kindness.
Even so, most people still don't believe that Liu Zheng is capable of subverting the straight-shaft plow that has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Especially the carpenters, although they no longer curse, are still full of resentment towards Liu Zheng in their hearts.
