I am old in the Han Dynasty

Xie Guang's father choked.

The others were also speechless.

"I'll buy it!" Li Zheng said angrily, "I will buy your plow for the other four families that have cattle."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Then the plow will be done later. The family with cattle will share five acres. My family's share will be given to my uncle. Other people who help plow the land will share equally. What do you think?"

After removing 20 mu, there are still more than [-] mu. Even if a family divides one mu of land, this mu is picked up for nothing.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Li Zheng one after another, asking him to make a statement.

Li was looking at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang laughed and said: "Don't be too happy. Use my cattle for plowing, don't even think about raking. But the rake can be used by everyone. You don't have to pay for it if it is worn out, but don't even think about using my stuff in the future. "

"I said how did you suddenly become so generous."

I don't know who said a word.

Xie Lang wasn't angry either, "It's good that you know. When you ask me to make plows and harrows, don't ask me to give you a cheaper price. By the way, I'll make you any kind of plow if you use any kind of iron."

"How do you say that?" Li Zheng asked hurriedly.

Xie Lang stretched out two fists, "For example, if two pieces of iron are so big, a good iron can make a plowshare, and a bad iron can't even make half of it. Then I can only make you a plow the size of a spoon."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Zhengxu nodded at him, "Not as thoughtful as you."

"Follow my parents." Xie Lang said.

Li was choking.

Everyone didn't know what to say.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "That's the deal."

"Let's leave the wastelands to the east and south?" Xie Guang couldn't help but ask.

Everyone looked southeast.

There are more than 40 mu of wasteland over there, half of which have good geology and no rocks in the field, but no matter what they plant, they will be harmed by wild boars on the mountain. Although the villagers think it's a pity when they think about it, no one dares to plant anything again.

Li Zheng then asked Xie Lang, "What do you think?"

"I do have an idea, but I'm afraid you think it's unnecessary." Xie Lang said.

Li Zheng: "Tell me about it."

The Weihe River is located in the west of Sericulture. Although Lizheng is an ancient person, he also knows that the straight line between two points is the shortest.When digging the ditch, the villagers were asked to dig from the southeast to the west, straight to the Weihe River.

There is wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and the section at the foot of the mountain was not dug when the trench was dug.Xie Lang then said, "Let's dig another mile to the southeast and use bamboo to draw the water from the mountain down. First, we can block some wild boars. Second, we can raise some fish in it. If anyone is sick or uncomfortable, he doesn't have to go to the Weihe River to catch them." Fish. The best of both worlds.”

"That's also an idea." Li was thinking about it carefully, "The people in Shanhuangli drank up the water in the Wei River, so we don't have to worry about running out of water. But wild boars can still enter the village from the south."

The mountains in the southeast of the Silkworm Farm are huge. To completely separate the mountains from the land, another ditch running east-west has to be dug.

Xie Guang asked, "Still digging ditches?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "It's too troublesome, and it's unnecessary."

"What should I do?"

Xie Lang: "It's easy to handle. Use bamboo." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, "Plant seven or eight rows of bamboo around the wasteland, use the bamboo forest to block wild boars, and plant mulberry trees inside to raise silkworms."

"That's a good idea!"

The women in the silkworm farming village know how to raise silkworms. Because it is close to the mountain and there are mulberry trees on the side of the mountain, no one thought about planting mulberry trees.

Speaking of planting mulberry trees, Xie Lang also thought of one thing, "You can also plant mulberry trees by the side of the ditch. The mulberry trees grow well when they are close to the water, and the mulberry fruits and insects on the trees can be raised in the water. Fish may be raised after two days. In [-], we couldn’t finish the fish in the ditch by ourselves, so we had to sell it.”

"It will be all right by then." Li Zheng couldn't help saying.

Xie Lang smiled lightly and said, "It's still possible to spread more fish fry. Don't forget, you used to say that we can't dig pottery wells by ourselves. Now we dig eight at a time." Six in the field, two at each end of the village One, "a month ago, can you believe it?"

Li Zheng opened his mouth and glared at Xie Lang, "It's not that you have too many ideas. Speaking of which, why do you—"

"I'm enlightened." Xie Lang didn't dare to let him continue, "To be honest, I have to thank the people in Shanhuangli. If they didn't give me a sap, I would cry from the pain, and I wouldn't have thought of drawing water from the mountain."

"Third Master, Third Master, don't cry." The child reached out and grabbed Xie Lang's big hand.

Xie Lang looked down and saw the worry in the child's eyes, his nose was slightly sour, and he almost cried.

Li Zheng saw the sparkle in his eyes, couldn't help turning his face away, and asked the people around, "What do you think?"

"We agree with what Sanlang said. It's just that the ditch we dug is nearly a mile away from us. We don't know that people in Shanhuangli go to steal fish at night."

The Weihe River is five miles away from Canyangli, and Shanhuangli is located in the northwest of Canyangli, with a straight line distance of four miles.As a result, Yushanhuangli is very close to the Weihe River. It is better to go to the Weihe River to catch fish than to steal fish from the silkworm farm.

But the ditch that is closer to the Weihe River is less than one mile away from Shanhuangli.

Xie Lang looked north and looked again, "I remember we dug this road when we were digging the ditch." Turning around, he pointed to the north-south road, "How many pieces of wood are the bridges made of now?"

"Yes." Xie Chun'e said, "I came from the wood when I came here."

Xie Lang: "Block it." Pointing to the southeast, "raise fish in this ditch."

Ri was looking at the others.

"It has to be longer." Xie Guang's father said, "Plant two rows of bamboo on the north side of the ditch until it reaches the side of the mountain, and then make it a bit steeper, so they won't dare to go down."

Xie Lang smiled.

Li Zheng was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

"Because I still have an idea, I'm afraid you will say I'm too poisonous."

Li was staring at him, "What time is it? It's still a secret."

"There are wild boars and wolves on the mountain, and the people in the Yellow River dare not go in. Let's put some bamboo arrows in the ditch outside. Let's not tell the outside, the people in the Yellow River don't know, as long as they dare to go down the river If you touch a fish, you have to peel off the skin if you don't die."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone imagined stepping on bamboo arrows in the river, and couldn't help shivering—how cruel!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xie Lang couldn't help laughing and said, "What else is there to worry about?"

"It's gone, it's gone." Everyone shook their heads again and again.

Xie Lang turned to Lizheng: "If we want to raise fish, we need to dig that ditch again, at least to get water out. Otherwise we can count on the water in the mountains, and we can only raise fish in autumn."

"I know this." Li was talking, when he remembered something, "Xie Guang's father, it will be inconvenient for you to go up the mountain in the future."

The north and east are ditches, and the south is mulberry and bamboo forests. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to go around the ditch.

Xie Lang heard Li Zheng's subconscious meaning, and wanted to roll his eyes again, "Just put a few logs on the ditch."

"That's right." Li Zheng suddenly realized.

Xie Lang sighed, "You, really—"

"Are you confused?" Li Zheng said for him.

Xie Lang quickly said: "This is what you said, not me."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes at him, then turned to Xie Chun'e, "It's getting late, you go back. Tomorrow, ask the child's father to bring the iron and ask Sanlang to make it for you. Don't take wood, it's everywhere on the mountain."

"Can you do it alone?" Xie Lang was worried.

Xie Chun'e smiled and said, "Okay. I know my body well, and I don't dare to force myself if I can't."

"Then take it easy." Xie Lang said, "By the way, you can tell your in-laws about this pannier. Let's talk when the rake is ready."

Xie Chun'e nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle Sanlang, I know what to say and what not to say."

"Take a break when you're tired." Xie Lang was still worried.

Xie Chun'e smiled and nodded, "I won't make fun of my body." Touching Xiao Qi's face, "Listen to the third master."

"I'm obedient." The child stretched out his small hands to wrap around Xie Lang's neck.

Xie Lang pinched his little face, "You are the most obedient child I have ever seen."

The child was immediately embarrassed, and kept pushing into Xie Lang's arms.Xie Lang who bumped into him staggered back, Xie Guang quickly supported him.

Xie Lang slapped his ass, "Come down. I have to grow wheat."

The child immediately struggled to get down.

Seeing this, Xie Chun'e was completely relieved.

When I got home, I only talked about the sowing basket made by Xie Lang, which also aroused the amazement of my in-laws.And when Xie Chun'e and her husband returned to their room, they talked about the plow and mentioned Xie Lang's plow by the way.

On the day the wild boar went down the mountain, Xie Chun'e's husband was there and saw Xie Lang's bravery.Xie Lang wanted to raise Xiao Qi again, and Xie Chun'e's husband felt that Xie Lang was an upright man and would not lie to Xie Chun'e.

The next day, she got up before dawn, watered the last two acres of land, and then Xie Chun'e's husband went to the city to buy iron.

Besides, Xie Lang told Xiao Qi that he had to grow wheat, and it was indeed wheat.

Thanks to Xie Lang's blessing, Xie Guang's land has been raked ahead of time, so it can grow wheat.But Xie Guang still planted it for Xie Lang first, and then used the two baskets he made to plant his own wheat.

When Xie Guang and his father were planting seeds, Xie Lang was not idle either.

The crowd dispersed and told each other that the elderly and children in the village knew about the land reclamation, and they all knew that the basket made by Xie Lang could sow seeds.Including Xie Jianye who was busy raking the ground.

Xie Jianye saw that all the old people in the village were going to Xie Lang's house, so he asked his two sons to rake the ground, and ran to Xie Lang's house to learn from Xie Lang to make a sowing basket.

Xie Lang saw a group of people who were ten or 20 years older than him in his previous life humbly asking for advice. While feeling guilty, Xie Lang couldn't help feeling that the ancient people were really suffering.

A sowing tool that seems ridiculous to people now can make everyone happy.

Xie Lang couldn't bear to be fooled any longer, and while teaching everyone how to make a basket, he said, "I originally wanted to use iron, but my land is waiting for no one, and I don't have any iron, so I can only use bamboo to replace the part that goes into the ground."

"Then it's made of iron, can it also be pulled by oxen? Just like the target you made."

Xie Lang's eyes lit up, and when he looked up, he saw his white hair, but his eyes were piercing, and he looked very wise. He couldn't help saying, "You are really amazing. I thought about it for a few days before I figured it out. You just listen to me." One sentence will tell."

"But I didn't even think of that." The old man pointed to the pannier that Xie Lang was about to make.

Xie Jianye couldn't help interjecting, "Stop boasting to each other. Sanlang, if this thing is replaced with iron, will farming be as fast as plowing? Don't worry about half of the bamboo being broken."

"Actually, yes. The premise is that I can do it." Xie Lang only knows the working principle, and really can't guarantee a success.

The old man who spoke before said: "When you do it someday, we old people will come to help you."

"That's great." Xie Lang said with a smile, "However, before doing that, I still want to ask you to borrow two things, a big saw and an axe. By the way, there are also straw mats."

Xie Jianye couldn't help asking: "What do you want these for?"

Building a house of course.

The first layer is made of wooden planks, on which two layers of straw mats are spread, on which a layer of mud mixed with wheat straw is spread, and tiles are used on top.

Xie Lang explained.Xie Jianye couldn't help saying, "Your house is about to catch up with the emperor's house."

"Then you really don't know much about it." Xie Lang said.

Xie Jianye raised his arm and was about to hit him.

The old people hurriedly stopped them and smoothed things over: "The emperor doesn't live in a blue brick house. We don't have straw mats now. Tell us how much you want, and we will make it up for you."

"Really?" Xie Lang said, "Then I won't be polite."

Xie Jianye: "Who have you been polite to?"

"You."

Xie Jianye turned his head suddenly and saw Xiao Qi hugging the little milk tiger, staring at him, "You, you—"

"You, if you hit my third master again, I will let the tiger bite you!"

"Tiger!" Everyone said at the same time, looking at Xiaoqi's big cat in unison, "This, this is a tiger?"

"Xie Sanlang, you, you actually keep a tiger?" Xie Jianye pointed at Xie Lang, his fingers trembling in shock, "Do you want to die?!"
