Female Supreme: I have loved you for thousands of years
Chapter 120: I Will Come for You All My Life (116)
The village chief thought it was no problem, so she took out 80 coins from her pocket and handed them to Luo Shu. She had calculated that it would take about two days for her family's wheat to be harvested, after all, her family had more land.
Luo Shu looked at the silver in front of her and was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She was right: "Village Chief, please take the money back. How can I take your money?"
The village chief said seriously: "What you said makes sense, so I should also hand in my share."
"Village Chief, please take it back. I will need to trouble you again in the future. Consider this money as a treat for you to drink."
Although the village chief was a little confused, he did not insist on giving her money. He thought that doing good things for her would be the reward.
"Oh, by the way, village chief. I have one more thing I want you to tell these six people. Just tell them that they have the priority to choose and use new farm tools when I have them in the future."
The village chief's pupils dilated slightly: "Are you talking about the two farm tools just now?"
Luo Shu nodded slightly: "That's right."
"Would you like to give out your two farm tools for the villagers to use as well?"
Luo Shu shook his head: "It's not just borrowing, but leasing. It's similar to this time, but there will be more choices. Remember to keep it a secret when you go back and tell them. They should understand this themselves."
The village chief nodded and went home. Luo Shu had originally planned to treat the village chief to a drink, but now that the farming season was busy, he had to postpone it to later.
After the village chief returned, he immediately went to find the six families and told them the results of his discussion with Luo Shu today.
When the six families heard this, they all thought it was acceptable. Moreover, they would have priority in using new farm tools in the future, so they all felt that their decision was the right one.
This year, thanks to the new farm tools, the wheat was harvested quickly.
After the wheat was harvested, Luo Shu and He's mother worked together to make curved plows. They worked hard to make four curved plows by the time it was time to plow the fields.
Then Luo Shu and He's mother took the cows and plows to the fields to start experimenting, and the results were very good.
Because the oxen were pulling the trigger, plowing the land was very easy. Their family had a total of 25 acres of land, and they plowed about 1/3 of it in the morning. The efficiency was very good, and the most important thing was that they didn't feel tired at all.
(PS: Because productivity was low in ancient times, each person had an average of 5 mu of land. If someone in the family died, the land she owned could be used by her descendants to continue farming for three generations. After three generations, the farmland would be taken back.)
At this time of year, the thing that is most in demand in the fields is people, so many people saw them plowing the fields with the new farm tools. They wanted to come up and ask about it, but seeing that they were so busy, they never went up.
It was only when they stopped to rest that they urged the village chief to come forward and ask questions. After all, they had all seen the effect. It was much easier than plowing the fields with hoes before.
You don't even need to bend your waist.
The village chief had seen the drawings a long time ago and naturally knew that Luo Shu and the others were using new farm tools to plow the fields.
But today is the first time I’ve seen any results, and they are truly remarkable.
The village chief asked a few simple questions, and the villagers behind him couldn't help but ask, "Old He's farm tool, is it really that easy to use? Can I try it?"
He's mother smiled and replied, "Of course." This was something they had discussed long ago, and they had anticipated the current situation when they used it directly.
After getting permission, the man immediately started using it with her husband. He's mother briefly told them how to use it, and of course it was not difficult to use.
The two men plowed back and forth in one go, and they were delighted: "This farm tool is really easy to use. It's very easy. We just need to pull the ox cart and hold the one behind it."
Luo Shu looked at the reactions of the people around him and asked with a smile, "Does anyone else want to try?"
Then several more people raised their hands, and Luo Shu let them all try it out, and they all gave positive reviews.
When harvesting wheat before, the He family had introduced new farm tools, but most people backed out because they had to pay for them. But this time they tried them themselves and found them to be very useful, saving effort and time, so they had free time to do other work.
So after figuring this out, they all rushed to Luoshu to borrow this tool.
"Xiao Luo, how much does this plowing tool cost per day?"
The others also echoed and asked, "Yes, how much does it cost to borrow for a day?" They all thought that they could pay, but not too much.
Luo Shu pressed down her sun hat and said, "Fellow villagers, let's go talk under the tree over there." She didn't feel it while working before, but now that she stopped and was exposed to the scorching sun in this open space with no shelter, she felt very baked. She would definitely be eight degrees darker when she returned.
When everyone heard her say this suddenly, they didn't think much about it and all went under the tree.
When He's father saw them coming, he poured some water for his wife and son-in-law. Then, seeing so many people, he poured some water for the village chief, but did not pour any water for others. Firstly, it was against the rules, and secondly, there was not enough water left.
Fortunately, everyone working in the fields brought their own water. Seeing the two men from the He family gulping down the cool water, they also asked their husbands to pour them a glass.
Luo Shu watched everyone find a place to sit down before speaking: "Fellow villagers, as you can see, this farm tool needs an ox to pull it. I can ask my mother-in-law to make a few more carts, but I only have one ox, so I can't take care of all of you."
When everyone heard this, they fell into deep thought. They all wanted to use this new farm tool, but if there was only one cow, by the time it was their turn, they would probably have missed the sowing time.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Luo, I just heard you say that this plowing tool can be made again?"
Luo Shu nodded.
"Can I buy one then?"
Luo Shu readily agreed: "Of course. This farm tool is called a plow truck. You can buy it or rent it."
Everyone then realized that the person who had just spoken was Wang Laoer, one of the few people in the village who owned an ox cart.
Wang Laoer makes money by bringing people from the village to the town, so her family must have cows.
Wang Laoer had this idea when she heard that there were other cars but they needed cows to pull them.
During the busy farming season, villagers are working in the fields and few go to town. She can't make much money at this time, so it would be better for her to buy a plow truck, finish the farm work earlier, and rent it out, which is also a source of income.
"Let me buy it. How much is this plow truck?"
Luo Shu thought of a price that wasn't too expensive. Her focus wasn't on making money: "A single plow is 5 taels, and an upgraded version with a harrow will cost 6 taels."
Wang Laoer heard that it was only 5 taels, which she could accept and the price was also very fair, but there was an upgraded version?
"What is the upgraded version?" After Wang Laoer asked her question, the others also showed expressions of curiosity.
Luo Shu patiently explained to them.
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly warmed up again: "This upgraded version can not only plow the land but also sow seeds, how can people not be tempted?" However, there were very few people who could come up with nearly twenty taels of silver at once.
Wang Laoer was also very tempted, and she could earn more by adding an extra ounce of silver, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll buy it!"
At this moment, Luo Shu looked at Wang Laoer and felt that this man was easy to get along with and had a certain business acumen.
There are not many rich people in the village, but she is the first one to make money so quickly.
At this time, Tuanzi's voice sounded in my mind: "Host, keep promoting it. The third gem in the space is glowing faintly. I just checked in the system and there is news. The third gem is about the development of civilization. The host needs to use his own wisdom to promote the development of this world.
And if all three gems light up, the host's points progress will increase faster."
Luo Shu suddenly gained confidence.
