    Chapter 778: [New invention: Quyuan plow]

    ¡­¡­

    "Butler Zhu, take this Quyuan plow and try it in the fields!"

    On this day, Li Chengqian brought the newly invented Quyuan plow to Huangzhuang and asked Fatty Zhu to try it out in the fields.

    Fatty Zhu was stunned, why would His Highness come over with a plow.

    But when I saw that the plow was different from the one on Zhuangzi, I couldn't help but become curious.

    After looking at it, I found that the plow is longer than the ordinary plow, and the height is much higher, and the shape is simpler.

    Another difference is the name. Fatty Zhu only knows that it has always been a plow, and now this one is called Quyuanli.

    But of course he didn¡¯t dare to wait for His Highness.

    So they immediately arranged for two skilled farmers and a strong bull to find an acre of fertile land, put the Qu Yuan plow on the bull, and started the Qu Yuan plow's first trial plowing journey in the Tang Dynasty!

    "Hey, you don't need two people, just one person holding the plow!" Li Chengqian stood on the field stem and said.

    The two farmers who had already gone to the fields were stunned for a moment when they heard Li Chengqian's words. They raised their heads and looked at Li Chengqian blankly.  This is too incomprehensible, isn't it? Every time plowing a field doesn't require two people, is it because the master doesn't know how to plow the field and gives blind instructions?

    Fatty Zhu was also stunned for a moment. Every time he plowed a field, two people were required. Otherwise, he would have to remove the soil by himself after just a few steps of plowing, which would be too troublesome.  But this is what the prince said, how can he not listen?  So he shouted to the farmer: "You don't know how to be obedient, do you? Why don't you come up?"

    But farmers are pragmatic. Farming is farming, not acting!

    "Steward. There is no one plowing the fields. Aren't you making trouble?" Farmer A retorted.

    Fatty Zhu was furious.  He had to go to the fields himself and pull up Farmer A by his collar.

    But Li Chengqian thought the farmer was quite cute.

    He waved his hand.  Said: "Okay, let's get started, you two, it's up to you!"

    The farmer looked at each other, then rolled up his sleeves and started working.

    According to the usual process, a farmer soon felt that he had nothing to do.

    He took the hoe to remove the soil, but saw that the soil automatically spat aside, without him having to do it.

    And the speed of plowing.  It¡¯s not at all slower than using an ordinary plow, it¡¯s even much faster!

    The farmer holding the plow behind him also felt the difference.  The structure of the curved shaft plow is much simpler than that of the straight shaft plow, so the weight is reduced a lot.  It's easy to hold, and it's very sharp when plowing, so it feels like it's very effortless to push!

    This thing can really be done by one person and one cow!

    They thought to themselves.

    It was then that I remembered what Li Chengqian had just said. He was clearly right.  I can't help but feel a little ashamed!

    So the idle farmer A, embarrassed and embarrassed, waved to Li Chengqian on the field stem and said: "Master, I was blind just now, your new plow is really a good thing!"

    Fatty Zhu also saw that the new plow was unusual, and looked at Li Chengqian in shock.

    This is the prince, and he even cares about the plow!

    And he invented a new plow himself!

    Fatty Zhu remembered the words of his monk brother.  It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a virtuous and capable person, and it is indeed true!

    When Li Chengqian heard Farmer A¡¯s apology, he waved his hand generously.  Said: "If you use it well, it will be fine."

    Fatty Zhu heard this.  I almost worshiped Li Chengqian so much that I wanted to hug him.

    Farmer A smiled honestly.

    At this time, I turned around to look at Quyuanli, and unexpectedly, I didn¡¯t even notice that he had already run far away!

    He quickly shouted: "Old man, take it for me, and I will try out how good the new plow is!"

    Lao Jiaotou retorted: "You can't even name Qu Yuanli, so what qualifications do you have to try a new plow?"

    "do not¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Li Chengqian looked at the cute side of the two farmers and smiled.

    Then he turned around and left the field, and said to Fatty Zhu: "Call a servant to send another set of Quyu plow to Wangjiazhuang to try it out. They are all neighbors, let them help try out the new plow!  "

    He took only two steps, but didn¡¯t hear Fatty Zhu¡¯s response from behind, so he couldn¡¯t help but turn around strangely.

    I saw that Fatty Zhu had a strange color on his face!

    "what?"

    Fatty Zhu¡¯s expression quickly changed and returned to normal,He said: "Oh, no, it's just that my stomach suddenly hurt and felt uncomfortable just now, so I didn't have time to answer. I'll make arrangements right away!"

    I didn¡¯t expect Fatty Zhu to have stomach pain.

    Li Chengqian ordered: "If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, please see a doctor."

    "Yes, yes, thank you, Master, for your concern!"

    Fatty Zhu arranged for two servants to push Quyuanli towards Wangjiazhuang, with Li Chengqian following behind.

    Fatty Zhu watched Li Chengqian¡¯s figure pass the Huangzhuang, and couldn¡¯t help wiping the sweat from his forehead. If the prince heard the news in Wangjiazhuang, would he come back to punish him?

    ¡°Forget it, the news I heard from Wangjiazhuang is better than what I said myself.

    Fatty Zhu went back to attend to Zhuangzi's affairs somewhat uneasily.

    He was also afraid that Li Chengqian would come back furious after hearing the news from Wangjiazhuang, and instead of seeing him get angry, he would become even more furious, so he pushed aside all the matters that needed to go out of Zhuangzi.  Just wandering around the palace.

    Li Chengqian, who didn¡¯t know the situation, came to Wangjiazhuang. Why did he feel that the people in Wangjiazhuang looked at him differently this time?

    There were several familiar tenants who turned around and left when they saw him.

    Some people¡¯s eyes look like they want to speak but are hesitant to speak.

    This is so weird.

    Seeing Uncle Zhou in front of him, Li Chengqian called him, but he pretended not to hear and ran away.

    "It's strange, I haven't been here for only three days!" Li Chengqian felt so strange.

    At this time, Fang Niang walked out of Wang¡¯s house. Li Chengqian frowned and shouted: ¡°Fang Niang, come here.¡±

    Fang Niang was very generous and did not run away when she saw Li Chengqian.

    With only a slight hesitation, he walked over to Li Chengqian.

    Seeing that Fang Niang did not avoid him, Li Chengqian couldn't ask about Uncle Zhou and the others' avoidance of him.

    "I got the Quyuan plow out, you can give it to the farmer to try." Li Chengqian pointed to the new plow behind and said.

    Fang Niang also had a strange look on her face.  It seemed that Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed.

    After hearing what Li Chengqian said, she couldn't help but show a look of shock on her face. She didn't expect that she was just joking before, but now he has done it!

    That new plow really looks different from an ordinary plow!

    It seems that he is really good to his wife!

    Thinking of this, Fang Niang couldn't help but feel guilty and complicated.

    "Yes, thank you, Master Li." Fang Niang said gratefully and guiltily to Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian, of course, sensed Fang Niang¡¯s strangeness and asked, "What happened to you at Zhuangzi today? Am I not welcome here?"
