"Zhu Bajie?" Zuo Shaoyang slapped his forehead. Zhu Bajie was a character in the Ming Dynasty novel "Journey to the West". People in the Tang Dynasty naturally didn't know it. They stammered: "It's just a kind of..., I'll know this!" As he said that, Zuo Shaoyang stuffed the cow rope in his hand to Bai Zhihan and ran back to the old house of the Qu family.

Carpenter Li Dazhuang has been busy moving the houses of Laohuai Village to Hetan Village with his brothers these days. He is a carpenter. Two months ago, he followed Zuo Shaoyang and others to kill the government army and received a reward of one-month money. He used this money to repair the house. So he has been busy building a house in Hetan Village these days. However, the house has not been built yet, and the family has temporarily lived in the old house of the Qu family. It was dawn now and he had not left the city to build a house on the construction site. When Zuo Shaoyang found Li Dazhuang, Li Dazhuang had already drunk a large bowl of wild vegetable porridge, patted his bulging belly, packed up his knife and took the three brothers to prepare to go to the construction site, and ran into Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang only said: "Brother Li, can you help me make an object today? It is for farming land."

"Okay*..." Li Dazhuang didn't even ask Zuo Shaoyang what he wanted to do, but turned around and told the three brothers to go and continue building the house first. After that, he asked Zuo Shaoyang what he wanted to do. Zuo Shaoyang found paper and pen and drew two sketches, one of the curved plow pattern, and the other was a farm tool to crush mud, called Zhuo Bajie's five-clawed rake, but the rake teeth were more, and it was relatively large, without a rake handle. Instead, it was two ropes were placed on the cow. "One person was mastered behind it, which was a bit similar to plowing fields. It was used to rake the mud in the paddy fields, and it was a common farm tool for spring plowing and land preparation." It first appeared in the Song Dynasty. Now many rural areas with relatively backward mountainous areas are still in use.

On the other hand, he gestured to explain the specific details and production requirements to him. Li Dazhuang quickly figured it out and promised to make two curved plows and two rakes before noon.

Li Dazhuang was just a carpenter, so he naturally could not make the iron plow part of the curved plow. Zuo Shaoyang drew another sketch and took it to find the blacksmith shop that had customized the pressure cooker before.

The blacksmith's family was very miserable, and two people were scared. The famine killed several people. Fortunately, the blacksmith survived himself, although he almost died. The iron plow he asked was not complicated. After explaining the requirements clearly, the blacksmith immediately started making it. Before noon, he prepared all the iron plow parts of the two curved plows and sent them to the old house of the Qu family.

At the same time, Li Dazhuang's curved plow was also ready. Zuo Shaoyang immediately assembled it, exactly the same as the plow he had seen in modern society in the countryside.

After lunch, the two plows were ready to be installed. The Li brothers and others were very surprised to see this strange thing for them. "I don't know what it was. Li Dazhuang, who made them, didn't know if Zuo Shaoyang could really plow the fields. So after lunch, he didn't go to build a house and followed Zuo Shaoyang and the others to watch the fun. Master Zuo Gui didn't believe that Zuo Shaoyang could plow the fields, and he was not interested in farm work. "What kind of style does scholars go to the fields to plow the fields? He was unwilling to let his son go to the fields to work, but seeing his son's enthusiasm is so high, he couldn't bear to scold him. After all, if Zuo Shaoyang had not been able to treat illnesses and save people in the past few months, he would have made Guizhitang famous, and he would have gained so much land and real estate, and the family would have been swept out by the landlord Zhao Sanniang at that time.

The gratitude in his heart does not mean his support for Zuo Shaoyang to go to the fields to do farm work. So even though he heard that Zuo Shaoyang invented a new plow that could cultivate a single ox, it could double the efficiency of the plowing field, he still had no interest. In his opinion, these are all unemployed. Even if they can really double it, he didn't want to see it.

After the irrigated elevated barrel frame is ready, water is continuously irrigated and soaked in the fields. "Twenty acres of fields have been soaked in water.

The fields had to be plowed first, and then crushed mud to level the fields. So Zuo Shaoyang did not take them, but led two cows. The Li brothers helped carry two curved plows, and took Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan out of the city to walk into the field.

The weather has been very good these days and it is sunny.

Through the cleaning of the officials before leaving in the past few days, all the dead bodies in the city and outside the city were buried, and the streets and alleys were cleaned. It was no longer obvious that there had been a famine where tens of thousands of people starved to death. All the corpses in the chasm outside the city were buried. The miserable scene of corpses everywhere in the past two months was no longer visible, but there were countless bulging new tombs. The more than 100 acres of land in the Zuo family were on the upper reaches of the Shijing River in Dongcheng. The twenty acres of fertile fields they cultivated themselves were selected by Miao Peilan in this cultivated land, near the desert slope.

They got off the official road and walked along the Shijing River.

It was already early April, and it was Qingming Festival. It was supposed to be a season of spring and flowers blooming, but this famine made Hezhou's mountains and the mountains below the mountain become bare. Not to mention the wild vegetables on the ground, even the trees were peeled and cooked. The scene was very miserable.

However, when they walked on the ridge of the field, they found that the grass had sprouted small spring buds on the edge of the field, and the wind was coming with the slight fragrance of flowers.

The group came to the remaining fields that had not yet been plowed. The crowd put down their things and stood by the edge of the field and looked at Zuo Shaoyang.

Li Sanzhuang said: "Young Master Zuo, your field is full of water, how can you use stone sticks to smash the soil?"

"You will know when you look back*..." Zuo Shaoyang laughed mysteriously.

The Tang Dynasty used the live plowing and planting of wheat in the north, so the water in the paddy fields must be released in advance. After drying the fields for more than ten days, the soil was dried, and then the soil was crushed with stone sticks. Then the well was sown. Now I saw that Zuo Shaoyang and their fields were full of water. Although Zuo Shaoyang had said that he would not release water and plow the fields directly in the paddy fields, this method was still different from the farming method they were used to, so he looked confused and worried. According to the memory of living in the countryside before traveling through time, Zuo Shaoyang quickly plowed a ox for a plow, rolled up his trouser legs, pulled the cattle rope with his left hand, and ploughed with his right hand, shouted in his mouth, and drove the ox to start plowing the fields.

The Li brothers and the others were stunned as Zuo Shaoyang was driving a cow, and they easily and quickly plowed from one side of the field to the other side, turned a corner, and then plowed back, without having to lift the straight plow up and turn the direction like they did before they could plow back.

Li Erzhuang ran to the field, picked up the soil and grey and looked at it: "Oh, brother, come and see, this guy is really useful. Look at how deep the plow is. Look at the soil and grey, you will be broken like this. If you put the water dry first, then use this plow to plow the soil, and then crush it with a stone stick, this plow is really a good thing!"

Li Sanzhuang said: "It's good, but what should I do if I plowed in the paddy field?"

Zuo Shaoyang was just driving the ox to plow back, and laughed when he heard this: "The soil in the paddy field should not be like the wheat field. The effect is not good. The farm tool I asked Brother Li to repair in the morning, called Zhurao, is specially used to crush soil and make up the fields. But you have to soak the fields first. It will be almost done in a few days. I will show you how to use Zhurao to crush soil and flatten the fields*..."

These people did not believe that the winding plow invented by Zuo Shaoyang could plow the land with a cow. Now they have witnessed it with their own eyes. It is indeed much better than the straight plow they used before. I immediately believed it. Now I heard that he used a rake to smash the soil in flat fields. Although I have never seen it, I still believe it very much. I am waiting to see it.

The group of people watched Zuo Shaoyang plow the hill fields in a short while. The speed was almost half faster than when they used the straight plow, and they only used one cow. They plowed quickly and well, and they praised them all over and over again.

The brothers of the Li family also came up to copy the plow and experienced it. Zuo Shaoyang explained the key points on the side. The brothers quickly mastered it. They all felt that this thing was better, lighter than the previous straight plow, and the plowing effect was better.

The Li brothers have seen the lively atmosphere and know the benefits of this thing. However, the soldiers who rented the 20 acres of land have helped to plow the plow and sow the seeds. They have already sprouted and cannot re-plough them. They can only wait for the next spring plow to make this new plow.

The Li brothers originally said they wanted to help plow the fields, but Zuo Shaoyang said no, so they asked them to build the house as soon as they had time. They saw that Zuo Shaoyang's new plow only uses one cow and was fast, and they didn't insist on it. They said goodbye and went back to Hetang Village to continue building the house.

After they left, Miao Peilan said, "Brother, teach me how to farm, so that we can plow the fields and overturn the ground sooner, cough cough...*..."

Miao Peilan was very happy to see that Zuo Shaoyang's new farming method was very effective. As long as she was excited, nervous or happy, she would cough lightly. Zuo Shaoyang used medicine to condition her, but it did not improve significantly. She was afraid that it would become a damage that was difficult to heal in the battle of life and death. Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Of course I have to teach you, and I have to focus on it. We must cultivate these twenty acres of land well! Let everyone know this new time-saving and labor-saving farming method."

At this moment, Zuo Shaoyang taught Miao Peilan to learn to plow a hill of fields. Miao Peilan was talented and quickly mastered the key points. The two of them plowed the ground separately, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one.

Bai Manghan was responsible for wiping the sweat and handing water to the two of them. He also weaved two straw hats and wore them on his head to cover the sun. The young doctor who was possessed by Zuo Shaoyang was relatively thin and could not hold back after farming for an hour. The sweat was so loud that he drank half of the water. Bai Zhihan said, "Young Master, take a break and do it."
