Chapter 752 I Will
Outside, Zhao Ming still gave Zhao Hanzhang face, saying: "Follow the governor's instructions."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at Yu Sima and said: "It's just right for them to exercise. After reading thousands of books, they also need to know the hardships of people's livelihood."
Yu Sima bowed his head and responded.
Close to the river, more and more people are working in the fields.
There was a spring rain two days ago, and there was a little water in the low-lying fields, but not enough. There was a section of the river upstream that was close to the fields, so a hole was dug to let water in. The water overflowed into the fields, and everyone started to Hoe the field ridges and let the water flow down piece by piece.
So there are people working in this area.
Zhao Hanzhang pinched his waist and stood at the edge of the field to watch for a while. The water was released today. Everyone was walking in the field with hoes, knocking off some large clods of soil, or stepping on some weeds.
Some weeds grew too thick and long, so they pulled them up and threw them on the ridges of the fields.
Zhao Hanzhang: "Will you plow here tomorrow?"
"Yes," Zhao Ming pointed to a field that had been watered long ago and had even been plowed: "Plow that field. Do you know how to plow it?"
When Zhao Hanzhang saw there were plows and cows in the field, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Uncle Ming, have you underestimated me? I have been in the fields with the soldiers in the past two years, have I never eaten pork, and have I never seen pigs running?" "
Zhao Ming: "...So you haven't plowed before?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, rolled up his trousers and walked over.
She has used a hoe and sown seeds, but she has never used a plow.
Immediately, a farmer brought the plow over. It was a curved shaft plow modified by Fu Tinghan. There may not be many in other places, but in major places such as Chen County and Xiping, basically everything that could be replaced was replaced.
When the officials saw that Zhao Hanzhang was about to use the glove plow, they finally realized that this was their governor, and they all rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help.
Yu Sima was the fastest and got the cow first. Chen Changshi was one step behind and glared at Yu Sima calmly.
Yu Sima was not afraid and stared back fiercely.
Chen Changshi had no choice but to drag the noose, and other officials slightly lower than the two of them stepped forward to help.
But a group of people struggled around the cow for a long time and still didn't understand. To be on the safe side, the local villager assigned Zhao Hanzhang an old cow with a gentle temper. The cow snorted impatiently and wanted to surround it. He tosses people away.
Li was replying to Zhao Hanzhang's words, but he was still paying attention to his cow from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but get angry when he saw them putting the noose on the cow's head backwards.
He directly held hands with Zhao Hanzhang, turned around and stopped Yu Sima and others, "Gentlemen, please stop, I'm not meant to be tormented like this by you guys."
Yu Sima stopped with some embarrassment, bowed to Li Zheng under the gazes of Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming, and humbly asked for advice: "Excuse me, father-in-law, how do you hook this plow?"
Li Zheng snorted and said, "It's understandable that you, the prince, are managing the affairs of the country and fighting on the battlefield. You don't know how to farm. However, you gentlemen are managing the people and governing affairs in the prefectures and counties. Don't you know that?"
All the officials looked embarrassed and felt ashamed, and they bowed and apologized repeatedly.
Zhao Ming's face was the most ugly. Half of the subordinate officials present were recommended by him and Zhao Hanzhang, and the remaining half were appointed by Zhao Hanzhang after passing the recruitment examination.
If the recommender does bad things, he, the recommender, will naturally lose his reputation.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at it with a smile, and finally, considering Zhao Ming's face, he said: "Xiao Lizheng, they don't know how, let's just teach them. It happens to be spring plowing time. I will ask them to learn how to plow the land with you later." , sow seeds, and transplant rice seedlings.”
Xiao Lizheng immediately calmed down his anger, lowered his hands and said, "Yes."
Fu Tinghan stepped forward and took the noose from Chen Changshi's hand, and said with a smile: "I'll do it."
He comforted the cow, took off the noose around the cow's neck, tied it again, led the cow forward, and then pulled the noose from behind the cow and put it around its neck.
Xiao Lizheng nodded slightly.
Qu Yuuli was drawn by Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang based on their memory, but they only knew the principles and improvements, and there were always many missing details.
This plow needs to be improved by him and the craftsmen, so the finished curved shaft plow must be put into the ground first to see the effect through practice.
He has tried it many times himself, so he knows how to hitch a plow and plow the ground.
Fu Tinghan tied the plow and asked Zhao Hanzhang how to hold the plow.
It is not difficult to hold a plow, but there are some small movements that can not only plow deeper, but also spread the plowed soil to both sides, saving effort and making the soil looser.
Fu Tinghan had learned from the old farmers. Regardless of his practical results, at least he remembered the key points and various techniques clearly.
He taught everything to classmate Zhao Hanzhang.
Classmate Zhao Hanzhang held the plow for two steps and immediately surpassed classmate Fu Tinghan. His plowing skills were comparable to those of veteran farmers who have been farming for many years.
Even Xiao Lizheng couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "Shijun is really a natural farmer!"
Seeing her lifting the plow easily, her eyes brightened, and she kept saying: "If you have such strength, even if you don't serve as governor and return to the countryside to farm, you will be very powerful."
The most important thing is that she is very talented. At first she didn't even understand how much effort it took to press the plow, but she found the point after only ten steps of pressing the plow. As for the precautions and skills Fu Tinghan mentioned , she instantly realized that she could master the skills he mentioned by walking a few steps while holding the plow. She was simply... born to plow the land.
Not only Xiao Lizheng, but also the farmers watching the excitement in the nearby fields looked at Zhao Hanzhang with bright eyes. He was so powerful, it was a pity that he was the governor, otherwise he would ask to marry him back, and from now on there would be someone to help the plow in the family.
Zhao Hanzhang felt that it was not difficult at all, so she put down the plow and tried a rake. In half a day, she tried all the farm tools she had never used before, and then returned to the city happily, "I will plow here tomorrow. "
Zhao Hanzhang missed plowing on February 2, and originally did not plan to do it again, but Zhao Ming believed that the Zhao Jiajun achieved good results last year, and the Qingzhou incident was resolved peacefully, so she should come out to be admired and to calm the people's hearts. .
So she told the folks in Chen County that she would preside over the plowing and pray for good weather and a good harvest this year.
In order to take a look at Zhao Hanzhang, many people stayed in Chen County several days in advance. The inns and restaurants in Chen County were all filled up, and a lot of private residences were set aside to entertain guests from other counties. A stay of at least ten people would be required. The money, plus two meals a day, costs at least fifteen cents, which has greatly promoted the economic development of Chen County.
Walking on the streets of Chen County, she saw more and more people on the streets, and there were many people at the city gate who were carrying luggage, walking, or riding ox carts and donkeys to come to Chen County to see her. She couldn't help but She lamented, "I never thought that one day my value would be reflected in this aspect. If I visited every county and plowed once, would they follow me and promote the economic development of each county?"
Fu Tinghan: "A star only comes out for an event after a long time. Because it is difficult to see her, everyone cherishes the opportunity once in a while. But if she often does events and meets with fans every now and then, how many people will there be?" Chasing to see her?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "It makes sense, and the transfer between counties takes time, that's all, that's all, why not get serious about our new money."
