Luxury, this is Li Dechen's first feeling after seeing the shovel.

The amount of iron used in a shovel is actually more than the amount of iron used in a Liu's plough, isn't this burning money? If it were him, it would be to kill him, and he would not have spent money to build such a thing.

Easy to use, this is Li Dechen's second feeling after shoveling out the first shovel.

Sharp, labor-saving, and energetic, it is a hundred times easier to use than usual. No wonder the proprietor is so confident that with this shovel, he can really dig a well in a month.

It's good to be rich, this is Li Dechen's third feeling after trying the shovel.

If you have money, you can use such a luxurious, so valuable, and such a useful tool.

"Uncle Li, how is it, this shovel is okay to use, right?" Liu Yiyi watched Li Dechen's face change from the side, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth to ask.

Li Dechen carefully put the shovel aside, turned to Liu Yiyi and said: "Dongjia, with this, those dozens of wells, a month, Xiao Lao'er promises to dig them for you!" Don't worry. ”

"Hehe, that's good, now I'll bother Uncle Li to bring these thirty shovels to the ground, use them sooner, and finish them sooner." Liu Yiyi looked at Li Dechen with some seriousness and said: "You know, we only have one month, and in this month, if it doesn't rain again, we have to count on these wells." ”

"Don't worry, owner," Li Dechen bent over and said: "For a month, even day and night, the little old man will dig it out." Remember not to delay the crops in the field. ”

Crops are the lifeblood of all farmers. It is also the lifeblood of all tenant farmers. When the crops are more productive, these tenant farmers who live on employment will have more food to survive.

Therefore, except for those merchants who have hoarded a lot of grain, no one wants to see disasters such as drought and flooding.

"In addition," said Yanagichi, "the well should be wider than the well in the village, at least more than half wide, and the sides of the well should be based on bluestone, and the edge of the well should be more than three feet above the ground." In this way, it is not only convenient for irrigation, but also saves the phenomenon of collapse and leakage of the well, and avoids that the villagers will not fall into the well in the future farming. ”

"The owner is right, the little old man wrote it down." Li Dechen nodded yes, seeing that Liu Yiyi cared so much about their personal safety, he couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude in his heart.

Although they are not in troubled times, the status and lives of the tenant farmers are still as cheap as dogs. Usually no one with Ben will take them seriously, it's cold. Hungry, dead, rotten, left to fend for yourself, no one will care about you, and no one will care about you anymore. It is rare to find a proprietor like Liu Yiyi who is willing to think about them.

"The owner." Li Dechen bent down and carried a dozen shovels on the ground to his shoulders. He bowed to Liu Yiyi and said: "Little Lao'er will retire first, and the rest of these shovels will be sent to collect them later. ”

"Uncle Li walks slowly." Liu Yiyi chuckled and sent Li Dechen out the door. It is also a blessing to have such an obedient and capable employee like Li Dechen. It saves Liu Ichichi a lot of trouble.

Wait for Li Dechen to go away. Liu Yiyi turned around and went to the silkworm room. Liu Laoshi and Liu He are all there at the moment.

"Daddy," opened the small door of the silkworm room. Liu Yiyi stood in front of the door and screamed softly, with Liu He's last warning, he didn't dare to step into the silkworm house easily, just like now, when Liu He's was also in the silkworm room.

If this mother is upset, she may not have to eat dinner in the evening.

Leaning his shoulder against the door frame, Liu Yiyi said to Liu honestly: "Otherwise, I will send someone to dig a well in your more than 100 acres of fields." In the future, if there is a major drought, irrigation will also be more convenient. ”

"No need," Liu Laoshi refused, and said: "Dad's 120 acres of land are leaning on the ditch, and there is no need to go without water, and there is no need to spend so much money to dig a dispensable well, so you don't have to worry about this anymore, Dad has a sense of proportion." ”

In the final analysis, Lao Liu is still worried about money. A well, five hundred wen, is almost half of his harvest in one season, where will he be willing to give up?

"Well, that's what Daddy said." Liu Yiyi nodded, it was only a little two acres of land, and now the rough Liu Yiyi no longer took them into account, since Lao Liu was happy, then let him go.

At this time, Lao Liu finished the work inside, came out of the silkworm house with a basket of silkworm dung, and asked Liu Yiyi: "Didn't you say that you would build a new house in the near future, how are you preparing now?" Anyway, it's also a farm now, and Dad has nothing to do at home, so if you need Daddy's help, just talk to Daddy. ”

After handing over the power of the Liu family to Liu Yiyi, Lao Liu became much more relaxed, and everything was big and small, and he was here

It's just to help the Liu He family raise silkworms at home.

"I was about to discuss this matter with my father," Liu Yiyi took the small basket in Lao Liu's hand, poured the silkworm dung into the cloth bag at the door of the silkworm house, and said to Lao Liu: "I have already selected the foundation of the house, and now the lack of land is some masters who know how to build a house and the materials needed to build a house. ”

"The master who built the house?" Lao Liu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Well, you can go to your father-in-law's place for this, he seems to have done this kind of business before, and now he will do it again occasionally, and it will be relatively easy for him to help and save some money." ”

Father-in-law, Zhang Porliang? Do you still know how to build? Why have you never heard of it mentioned before?

Liu Yiyi carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead, it seems that he still doesn't know much about this future father-in-law's family.

"In this case, then I'll go and see it tomorrow," Liu Yiyi hung the small basket at the door, looked up at the sky, the day was approaching, and it was no longer appropriate to go today.

"I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love." Zhang Chuchu propped his elbows on the table, holding his little face in both hands, staring at the paper of poetry on the table with his two big eyes stupidly, his lips lightly opened, and he repeatedly chanted the last line of poetry.

"I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love." There was another soft groan, but it was a male voice, and then a large hand suddenly took the paper from the table.

"Big brother?" Zhang Chuchu hurriedly stood up, blushing and snatching the paper from Zhang Chuwen's hand.

"This is the poem my sister-in-law wrote to you the day before yesterday?" Zhang Chuwen didn't embarrass her, stretched out his hand to hand out the paper, and said to Zhang Chuchu with a smile: "To be able to write such a poem, no wonder it can fascinate our family Chuchu so much that he doesn't even know that someone knocked on the door and entered the house." ”

"Big brother, if you talk about it, my little sister will ignore you." Zhang Chuchu carefully folded the letter, put it in his sleeve, and glanced at Zhang Chuwen with disgust.

"Okay, big brother won't make fun of you." Zhang Chuwen sat down on the round stool next to the table with bent knees, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a poem?" The eldest brother also brought you back, No, look at it, it won't be worse than the one in your hand. ”

Zhang Chuwen took out a large piece of white paper from his arms, handed it to Zhang Chuchu, and said, "This, but it is also my sister-in-law's masterpiece, the eldest brother specially asked for it for you from Du Mansion." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Chuchu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reached out to take the paper and gently spread it on the table.

"Plum blossom nunnery in the plum blossom dock, plum blossom fairy under the plum blossom nunnery; The plum blossom fairy planted plum trees, and picked plum blossoms for wine money, ...... others laughed at me for being too crazy, and I laughed at others for not being able to see through it; Flowers hoe fields without wine.

Did he write this too?

Zhang Chuchu sat at the table lightly, looking at the poems on the table, and the whole person was completely immersed in the perfect artistic conception described in the poems.

Relaxed, comfortable, natural, free and easy, this is also very suitable for his temperament.

"Big brother, when did he write this?" Waking up from the poems, Zhang Chuchu raised his head and asked Zhang Chuwen.

"A month ago, the day before he left for Chang'an." Zhang Chuwen said: "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother has been reading books at home for a while, this poetry brother would have brought it back to you a long time ago." ”

"Also," Zhang Chuwen moved the stool to Zhang Chuchu's side, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, do you know what my sister-in-law did when he went to Chang'an some time ago?" ”

Seeing Zhang Chuchu shaking his head, Zhang Chuwen continued: "He went to see the queen's mother." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Chuchu's mouth was round, and he looked at Zhang Chuwen fixedly, looking incredulous.

"Moreover," Zhang Chuwen was very satisfied with the little sister's surprised expression, and once again broke the news to Zhang Chuchu: "He not only cured the queen's illness, but also cured the leg disease of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the way." Yu Royal can be said to have great kindness, and his future will be limitless in the future, little sister, you can marry such a person, and the eldest brother is happy for you from the bottom of his heart. ”

"However," Zhang Chuwen quietly glanced up at Zhang Chuchu and said, "Although this sister-in-law is good at everything, he has the title of a businessman, and the businessman is tired, and he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to be an official or a knight in his life." ”

"Big brother, don't worry," Zhang Chuchu looked at the "Plum Blossom Nunnery" on the table, there was no trace of disappointment on her face, but showed a faint smile, she turned her head to Zhang Chuwen and said softly: "Liu Gongzi is determined to be in the countryside, he doesn't like to be restrained, and those high official titles in the eyes of everyone are like floating clouds." ”
