Perhaps it was because the tiger cubs saved a few people and convinced the simple villagers that Qi Shu is a good man, and the tiger raised by Qi Shu is also a good bug!It took only half a day, and many people came to thank them. Most of the food they brought was raw food, obviously not for Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu, and they looked at the tiger cubs differently from before. Yes, but there are other things too. The tiger cubs don't know what other people are thinking, and they lean together lazily, licking their wounds from time to time, turning a blind eye to people coming and going.

Although everyone came back safely, many people still suffered injuries. The so-called one-hundred-day injuries meant that they might not be able to get out of bed for a while, and it was the time of spring plowing, so the loss would be great.Therefore, in the evening of the next day, after the injured people had stabilized their injuries, Lizheng called all the labor force in the village together to discuss countermeasures, and Ye Feiyang also participated in it. It is convenient for Jixiang to make a fuss so that he can leave the house in time.

He was knocking on the cigarette stick, coughed twice, and then slowly said: "Everyone has been affected by this incident, but fortunately everyone has come back alive! It's almost spring plowing now, and many people died yesterday We are all injured and unable to farm, we are all from the same village, so we can’t just watch their orphans and widows go to farm, can’t we?”

After hearing Li Zheng's words, everyone lowered their heads and kept silent. If it was usual, it would definitely not be like this. It's just that too many people were injured yesterday, and everyone with a man was injured. It may not be able to take care of it, let alone help others. It's not that they don't want to, but that they are really helpless.

Li Zheng was also aware of the current situation in his heart. Last night, two doctors treated everyone overnight. Six of them were so injured that they couldn't get out of bed. In this way, the injury is on the arm. Although they can walk, they can't do work. There are no more than ten people who can plow in the spring. Including those who stayed in the village before, there are only more than twenty people. Even with some physical strength It is not enough for a strong woman.

The atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing, not at all the joy that one should have after winning a victorious battle and driving away the life-threatening enemy. Ye Feiyang was not surprised. The ancient times were not as good as the modern ones. If one wanted to survive, one could only rely on farming, which affected spring sowing. , that means that this year may be starved to death!

After a while, someone said weakly: "Why don't we scrape together some money and hire some long-term workers."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted: "It's almost spring plowing now, and the long-term workers have already found their employers, so why is it our turn?"

"Then, what about slaves?"

Li Zheng glanced at the man: "When you buy a slave, you have to take care of food and housing, and keep it."

Everyone was silent again. Buying a slave is equivalent to adding a mouth to the family for no reason, which is not worthwhile.

The room was quiet again, seeing that everyone was speechless, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qi Shu, with some expectation in his eyes, Qi Shu was silent for a moment and said: "For the present plan, as long as there is no injury The people who live here will suffer a lot and cultivate day and night." Ye Feiyang felt that this method would not work when he heard it!This is simply exhausting physical strength, even a martial arts practitioner like Qi Shu may not be able to bear it, let alone an ordinary farmer.The result of doing so is definitely not worth the candle!

Li Zheng showed embarrassment: "This method is not appropriate. It is too hard to cultivate day and night, and the body can't bear it. What's more, the seeds have just been planted, and they have to be carefully served. I can't be busy."

Qi Shu actually felt that his method would not work, but isn't this the only way out?

Everyone was relatively speechless, Lizheng saw that there was nothing good to do right now, he sighed heavily: "Everyone, think about it when you go back, and see if there is anything you can do."

Ji Xiang nestled in Ye Feiyang's arms, sleeping sweetly with his fists squeezed, with an innocent appearance of ignorance of the world.Ye Feiyang walked beside Qi Shu, thinking to himself, since just now he was thinking that these days, it seems to him that the villagers don't seem to be used to using tools, and most of them are digging with hoes on their shoulders. In fact, they want to rely on these people to dig It is not impossible to plant the land, as long as the tools for plowing the land are good enough!It's just that Ye Feiyang doesn't know how to farm, so he is not sure whether the books at home have any content in this regard, so he has to go home and check the information first.

Qi Shu looked at Ye Feiyang and frowned slightly as if he was thinking about something, and didn't make a sound to disturb him, maybe he might have an idea.Sure enough, as soon as he got home, Qi Shu was pulled into the space by Ye Feiyang.

Putting Jixiang into the stroller, Ye Feiyang pulled Qi Shu straight to the bookcase: "Brother Qi, I remember my father has a few books on farming, you can see if there are any useful ones, I don't know how many books you have on farming here. What tools to use, but if we can improve the tools, it should be able to solve this urgent need."

Qi Shu has read a lot of books in Ye Feiyang's space, but most of them are related to war. Hearing Ye Feiyang's words now, he immediately regained his energy. As a result, he carefully flipped through the books he picked out, and Ye Feiyang picked them up. All the books related to agriculture were taken out, there were about a dozen of them, and they were all thrown into Qi Shu's arms: "Let's go out and read." Qi Shu nodded, and the two went back to the room, flipping through one by one.

"Brother Qi, what do you think of this car? I just don't know if there is a blacksmith who can make it." Ye Feiyang pointed to a picture in a book in his hand and showed it to Qi Shu.According to the records in "Politics" written by Cui Shi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the columbine car is composed of three columbine legs, which is the three-legged columbine.Three-leg columbine with three ditch openers under it. When sowing, an ox is used to pull the columbine cart, and the columbine legs are used to open ditches and sow seeds on the flat land, covering and suppressing at the same time. It can reach "one hectare per day".

Qi Shu looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "This columbine cart is really exquisitely made, there are some in the blacksmith city, it should be able to make it, but Carpenter Wang hurt his leg, so I don't know if he can do it."

Hearing what Qi Shu said, Ye Feiyang smiled lightly: "It's best if you can do it. If you can't do such a complicated one, you can do something simple first. Don't we still have many people who can go to the ground? I also It can help with farming."

Qi Shu said: "Feiyang, this time I also want to say thank you."

Ye Feiyang twitched his lips: "Thank you for what, I'm not helping you, I'm helping the villagers, they are so kind and kind, of course I can't just watch."

This person is obviously kinder and kinder than others, but he doesn't know it. Qi Shu smiled and said nothing, he lowered his head and continued to study the cart. He had only seen a plow before, and he had seen two plows tied together for use. But I have never seen such a combination of three plows, one person and one ox can plow!If it is possible to make this car, let alone dozens of people, just a few people are enough to plant the land!Qi Shu, who has always been calm, couldn't help being a little excited. If this method is feasible and spread, the life of the people will be better!The national strength will also be stronger!

Ye Feiyang was also very excited in his heart. He always felt that he was treated so kindly by the villagers because of Qi Shu's blessing. He is quite happy to be able to repay one or two things now.

The two studied it carefully, and tied a model with chopsticks and tried it on the table. They probably understood the principle, and then started to draw pictures. This book must not be shown to others. To make something, you have to use pictures to assist in the explanation.

Ye Feiyang only practiced brush calligraphy occasionally, and it is obviously impossible to draw with a brush. Fortunately, Qi Shu knows how to do it. Looking at his posture, he seems to be very stylish, and he can draw a columbine with just a few strokes. Ye Feiyang couldn't help but marvel at the shape of the car, and then he saw Qi Shu mark the name of the purpose one by one. The words are powerful and imposing, completely different from his calm and low-key. After this matter is over, I have to learn calligraphy from him!

Qi Shu drew three pictures in a row, and then carefully compared them before handing them over to Ye Feiyang: "Let's go to Carpenter Wang together later, and you can explain to him how to make this car, and see if you can do it first. Try a little bit."

Ye Feiyang wondered: "You can go or not? Why do I need to explain that I take care of Jixiang and the tiger cubs at home." As if to respond to Ye Feiyang's words, he burst into tears as soon as he finished talking about Jixiang. The guy was hungry, Ye Feiyang shrugged at Qi Shu, showed a look in his eyes, and turned to hug Jixiang.

Qi Shu folded the paper and put it in his bosom, said with a smile, "Then wait until after dinner and coaxing Ji Xiang to go together."

Ye Feiyang didn't argue with him, he threw the crying Jixiang into his arms, turned around and went to the backyard to make dinner.After dinner, the two went to Carpenter Wang's house together. Carpenter Wang was injured on his calf. At that time, he was accidentally bitten by a jackal. His leg was broken and he fell on the board. Now he was lying on the bed in a daze. He was doing something in the next room, seeing Qi Shu and Ye Feiyang, Carpenter Wang struggled to sit up: "Why are you here?"

Qi Shu looked at Ye Feiyang, Ye Feiyang had no choice but to step forward: "That's it, Brother Wang, I have a solution, maybe it can help everyone solve the problem of spring plowing."

Carpenter Wang's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help raising his voice: "What method!"

Ye Feiyang took out the piece of paper drawn by Qi Shu: "This is what people in my hometown use to plow the land. It's called a columbine cart. Can you make it?" Then, he explained in detail how the columbine cart was made and its purpose.

After a long time, Carpenter Wang patted his thigh: "This is really a good thing! Brother Ye, this is really a good thing!" Carpenter Wang said several good things in a row, until Mrs. Wang, who had been eavesdropping next door, couldn't help but come out to take pictures. He gave him a moment: "What are you talking about! Do you know how to make this thing?" Carpenter Wang came back to his senses and nodded: "Know how to do it!"

Ye Feiyang smiled and said: "That's the best. If it's not troublesome, I think you can make a smaller one first. Let's try it out. If it is feasible, we will make a bigger one."

Carpenter Wang nodded again and again: "Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away, I'll keep it for you before it gets dark today!"

"Brother Wang, don't be in a hurry! You can do it for me tomorrow morning. If possible, I will go to the blacksmith to make iron, and I can't go until tomorrow." Step on, and quickly stopped him.

Carpenter Wang smiled: "No problem, no problem!"

Coming out of Carpenter Wang's house, Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu went to Lizheng's house together, and told Lizheng about the matter, Lizheng was so excited that he lost all his cigarette sticks, and waved his hand: "Don't wait for Wang The carpenter is showing up, I'll go to the city to find a blacksmith first!"

Ye Feiyang tried to persuade him for a long time, but he didn't persuade him. He just watched him rush out with his youngest son and money.Looking at Qi Shu helplessly, Qi Shu smiled and said: "It's not a problem, I also think this method is feasible."

At dinner time, Lizheng entered the courtyard with a miniature version of the columbine in his hand, laughing, and shouted from afar, "Brother Ye! Qi Shu, come and see, this columbine is really useful!"

Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu trotted out of the house hearing the sound, the three of them squatted in the yard, tried the wooden columbine cart, and saw it dragged three shallow small grooves on the ground, the craftsmanship of Wang Carpenter was undeniable, this Although the columbine car is small, it has fully grasped the essence of the blueprint. It is almost the same as what was written in the book. Only then did Ye Feiyang breathe a sigh of relief. If this is the case, it should be no problem, right?

Li was sitting on the ground like a child, holding up the columbine cart and watching it back and forth, as if he had acquired some incredible treasure. Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu were also watching with smiles on the side. When this thing was made, Chun Geng would not be problem!

From the next day, Lizheng went to the city again early in the morning. It is said that he stayed at the blacksmith's shop and refused to leave. He let the blacksmith make what he wanted in less than three days.Carpenter Wang was not idle here, and even ignored the injury on his foot, he wanted to plan the wood himself, but his daughter-in-law slapped him on the head several times, and in the end it was done with the help of a young apprentice he had taken in earlier.

After a few days of hard work, two columbine carts were finally driven out. Lizheng chose two of the strongest old scalpers, personally supervised the people to put on the columbine carts, and then asked Ye Feiyang and Qi Shu to pull the first time. Ye Feiyang was dumbfounded. He was just talking on paper, and he was taking other people's paper!Dila cows really can't do it this time!
