Chapter 19: The Millennial Family (Ask for Collection)
Manure is to evenly spread piles of farm manure in the ground, and then let the plough oxen plough the ground, and finally mix the farm manure evenly into the land.
This is a taste unique to the countryside that is unforgettable.
The fermented farmhouse manure tastes indescribable......
As a landlord's family, his own fields naturally have to be cultivated first, and in these days, the Yun family has to work in the fields from the master to the servants.
The twenty-seven ploughing oxen of the Yun family are lined up, plowing the fields on the vast field, with indescribable beauty.
Of course, if it weren't for the scene of the tenants walking through the fields with ploughs on the side, Yun Zhao would have liked this scene very much.
Later generations paid attention to dignity and the dignity of laborers, believing that laborers should not be called as animals, and that they should use machinery as much as possible.
In Daming, here, all the laborers are eager to become big animals.
Yun Yang supported the plow of the Yun family's big house, but his eyes were on the tragic scene of his father and younger brother pulling the plow in front and his mother supporting the plow in the back.
More than once he asked his mother to drive the oxen to plough the house, and he went to moulk the plow, but his father verbally refused.
Being able to earn four catties of millet a day is very important to their family.
Yun Zhao sat on the ground and played with Yun Xiaomei.
There are always bumps in the wet mud, like something crawling underground, and in fact, the brown ground tiger likes to arch the mud through the tunnels because of its two huge shovel-like forelimbs.
As long as Yun Zhao and Yun Xiaomei picked up the dirt with a wooden stick at the end of the raised trace, a strong ground tiger would appear in front of the two.
Then the ground tiger was tied with a rope, and Yun Zhao and Yun Xiaomei had the tools to play.
Put the ground tiger in the mud and see whose ground tiger digs a hole faster.
Generally, after seven or eight rounds of repetition, the ground tiger is finished, and at this time, Yun Xiaomei will happily put the ground tiger into a cage and take it home to feed the chickens.
"That dead chicken doesn't lay eggs, people love eggs."
Yun Xiaomei saw that the grass cage was already full of fat ground tigers, and she felt it.
As soon as Yun Zhao took it out of his arms, he magically took out an egg and put it in Yun Xiaomei's dirty hand in her longing eyes.
Then, the ecstatic little girl ran towards her mother with the egg held high and stepped on the soft soil.
An egg, the father and mother almost licked it under the compulsion of the daughter, and the younger Yunshu only took a bite, and the rest was eaten by the little girl, but the joy that this egg brought to the family was huge, and even Yun Yang, who was plowing the land for Yun Zhao's family, was particularly strong when driving the livestock.
It is unrealistic to let Yun Yang directly drive the cattle of Yun Zhao's family and leave the main family's field to plow for his own family.
Yun Zhao can't ask for this, otherwise, it will be out of order.
So, Yun Zhao went down to the field in person, and ran with Yun Shu on the field full of spring breath with Yun Shu, the main force of the plow, one left and one right.
There is a disadvantage to pulling a plow, that is, the plough is not deep enough, only about half of the ox ploughs, even so, during the noon break, Yun Zhao's two shoulders were also red and swollen by the rope.
Yun Qi's wife lifted Yun Zhao's collar, looked at her red and swollen shoulders and cried: "The young master of the rich and noble family has suffered this crime. β
Yun Qi looked at Yun Zhao's shoulder and shook his head and said, "That's right, it's not that it's right for him to help our family pull the plow, but it's not a bad thing that he can go down to the ground to pull the plow."
There are many things in this world where the cub sells his field and is not distressed, and this baby only knows that it is not easy for the ancestors to accumulate family business only after they have endured hardships.
If my father hadn't died in battle, my family would have had a good life. β
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Yun Yang from a distance who still refused to rest at noon and continued to work, and seemed to be very proud.
In the afternoon, Yun Qi refused to let Yun Zhao help, there was a lot of work in the field, and he didn't dare to rest, so he wanted to speed up while his strength was not exhausted.
The fields were full of people, and there were large clouds of white clouds floating in the sky overhead, white and some black.
The ploughing oxen in the field are still walking slowly, and the ploughed earth is clearly distinguished from the unploughed earth, and the ploughing oxen, plus groups of people, are the ones who paint on the drawing paper of the earth.
Yun Zhao dragged Yun Xiaomei to stand on a small hill, and the scene under his feet made him a little intoxicated, and it was not until his mother called him loudly that he woke up from the poetic mood.
took Yun Xiaomei to jump into the donkey cart that her mother was riding and continued to patrol the Yun clan's territory.
"Starting from the foot of the mountain, until the big elm tree is the ancestral sealed field, this land is not rented to outsiders, and only our own clan can rent these fields, Yunqi family is."
Yun Zhao stood on the donkey cart and looked at the pergola with his hand: "How many acres?" β
Yun Niang said proudly: "1,700 acres!" β
"So much?" Yun Zhao was taken aback.
Yun Niang said with a smile: "That's it, there is no dry land that does not rely on water, and our family still has 4,300 acres of dry land." Two firewood mountains, four ponds. β
Yun Zhao looked at the slopes far away, where more people were working.
"I heard Uncle Qi say that there is a landlord surnamed Qian who is fighting with our family for mountains and ponds?"
Yun Niang said with a smile: "What is the surname Qian, our family needs to endure it in the past few years and save blessings for my son." β
Yun Zhao looked at his mother suspiciously and said, "If our family is unwilling to endure it, will the surname Qian have no way to live?" β
Yun Niang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on her face and said, "Anyway, that's what you Fubo said, he never tells lies and nonsense." β
Yun Zhao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a question, since he became smart, he found that the huge Yun family, only his mother and Fu Bo are two really smart people, and the rest of them are all stupid, including the family account, and the housekeepers are surprisingly stupid.
This is very inconsistent with the identity of the Yun family's thousand-year-old family.
Yun Niang saw her son looking at herself, so she said angrily: "Look at what I do, no matter what the family looks like, it will be yours in the end, now, you can win over your manpower well, and you won't be able to run away when you grow up." β
Yun Zhao smiled: "I was still worried about how this group of fools in my family would keep the Yun family's 6,000 acres of fertile land from losing, but now I understand, that is to say, our family does not have to pay taxes to the imperial court, right?" β
Yun Niang said with a smile: "The government has long forgotten about our poor and remote place, and since I got married, I haven't seen anyone from the government come to our house." β
Yun Zhao gasped again.
In his previous life, he was a petty official who helped the poor, and he knew deeply that there was no room for negotiation on the issue of paying taxes, no matter which dynasty or period.
In the Ming Dynasty, civil officials may take advantage of it, while military attachΓ©s will be too difficult to evade taxes, unless they are officers and soldiers of the guard.
Grandpa was a guerrilla general, and the so-called guerrilla is the kind of army that has no fixed place and needs to go wherever it is, and it is the most unlucky kind of the army.
Now, listening to my mother's meaning, Yun Clan, it seems that there is another side that Yun Zhao doesn't know?
It took a full afternoon for the donkey cart to circle the Yun's paddy field, and when he returned home in the evening, Yun Zhao did not wait for dinner, and continued to pester the housekeeper Yunfu.
At this moment, the housekeeper Yun Fu became extremely mysterious in Yun Zhao's eyes.
A thatched hut was erected on the edge of the ditch, and inside the hut was a blazing fire, and a shirtless young man was striking iron, and the clanging sound had been for a while, and Yun Fu was squatting on a stool to smoke his tamba mushroom.
Seeing that Yun Zhao was coming, the young man stopped the hammer in his hand, threw the gradually dimming iron into the furnace, and looked at Yun Zhao without speaking.
Yun Fu raised his leg and kicked the young man and said, "The young master is here, and he doesn't know how to greet him?" β
The young man raised his head and glanced at Yun Zhao and said, "Liu Zongmin has seen the salute." β
Yun Zhao curiously circled around Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin didn't seem to like turning his back on others, and followed Yun Zhao around.
Yun Zhao was very disappointed, and thought that the real giant should be the kind of big man who can stand on his fists and run horses on his arms as written in the novel.
Seeing that Yun Zhao stopped talking, Liu Zongmin immediately took out a small dagger three inches long from a small box and gave it to Yun Zhao, with a simple smile on his face.
The small dagger is quite exquisite, with the handle made of horns, it is very simple, the dagger has been bladed, and it looks quite sharp.
Yun Zhao took the dagger and arched his hand towards Liu Zongmin: "I don't know if a craftsman can make a long knife?" β
Liu Zongmin's brows furrowed, and he turned to look at Yunfu.
Yunfu smiled: "Do what you can!" β
Liu Zongmin looked back at Yun Zhao and said, "I can do it!" It's just that I don't have enough iron here! β
