It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

The carpenter shop worked overtime and soon achieved the effect that Lu Xingchen wanted.

The first batch of curved plows were used in several villages bordering Wanxian County.

When the common people first saw the curved plow, they were also confused.

Because they felt that the plow was so light that an adult man could easily lift it with one hand.

The plows they used before required a very strong adult man to lift with both hands.

Normally it takes two men to carry it together to move forward.

If this curved plow can really plow the land and the effect is similar to that of previous plows, it would be a really good farm tool.

So the farmers took the curved plow to the fields to try it out.

The results were much better than they expected.

The curved plow is not only light, but also can penetrate deep into the soil, and its effect of turning over the soil is much better than previous plows.

The results surprised the farmers.

So every household began to try the curved plow, and the results were the same.

The most important thing is that the carpenter shop will follow the carpenter. If there is something not working well, he will debug and repair it on the spot until the farmer is satisfied.

The most important thing is that within two years, if a curved plow is deformed or not as effective as before for other reasons, it can be repaired free of charge.

That is to say, unless you accidentally break it or smash it yourself, or if there are other reasons that make the plow not working properly, you can take it to the county to have it repaired. The repair will be done by the owner who bought the plow, and it can be repaired within two years.

Of course, this idea of ​​after-sales maintenance was also proposed by Lu Xingchen.

She just wanted to gain the trust of the people and promote the use of the curved plow.

Because the curved plow was used by the people living in the border areas, the farmers working in Wanxian soon saw the curved plow used by the people in Xingxian, thought it was very novel, and came to learn from it.

Although they are two counties, their fields are adjacent to each other, and some are only separated by a ridge or a small canal, so they are very familiar with each other.

"Brother Wang, what kind of plow is this? I have never seen it before. Is it easy to use?" A young man named Zhang from Wanxian asked curiously.

The middle-aged man called Brother Wang smiled and replied, "This is a new plow designed by our county lord. It's called a curved plow. It's very easy to use. If you don't believe me, try it."

The young man named Zhang took hold of Brother Wang's curved plow with full curiosity.

After the young man named Zhang got his hands on the curved plow from Brother Wang's family, he found it light and easy to use, and most importantly, it was fast.

The previous plows were heavy in themselves, and became even heavier after they were buried in the soil. It was naturally slow for animals to plow the land with such a heavy plow.

"Brother Wang, your plow is really great. I want to buy one too." Brother Zhang said with emotion after trying out the plow.

"Then go buy it. It's for sale in Xing County." Brother Wang said generously.

Brother Zhang was so excited that he didn't even ask how much Brother Wang's plow cost, and hurried to Xing County.

As a result, when he arrived, he saw many people waiting at the doors of several carpenter shops ready to buy plows.

And almost all of these ordinary people are from Wanxian.

The most important thing is that many people are talking about the price they paid for the plows, which is three times the price that ordinary people in Xing County pay for plows.

"Why are there so many? Everyone spends money to buy a plow." Someone said angrily.

Some people can be more open-minded and say, "It can't be helped. They are from Xing County and we are from Wan County."

"I heard that this plow was designed by the Lord of Xing County himself."

"The lord of Xing County is really amazing. He killed bandits some time ago, and now he invented the curved plow."

"You know what? I rented a plow from the next village and tried it for a day. It plowed the land so fast that I could finish the work in one day, which would normally take me four or five days."

"The most important thing is that neither the people nor the animals are tired."

Of course, some of them were hired by Lu Xingchen to act as babysitters.

Without these hype, the curved plow wouldn't be selling so well.

The people of Wanxian heard that they could cultivate the same amount of land in just one day that previously took four or five days to cultivate. As long as they were not stupid and did a little calculation, they would find that the current price was reasonable.

As a result, the curved plows from these carpenter shops became a hot commodity and were in short supply for a while.

In addition to promoting the curved plow, Lu Xingchen also sent people to buy female donkeys from surrounding counties.

Generally speaking, ordinary people are unwilling to raise female donkeys. First, they don't have the strength to work, and second, they grow slowly. Even if they are killed and sold for meat, it is not as cost-effective as a male donkey.

So the price of female donkeys is much lower than that of other livestock.

After Lu Xingchen bought the female donkey, she first fed the stallion some stimulating grass according to the mule production technology given to her by the system, and let them mate.

She just wanted a herd of mules.

Mules are a neutral species that cannot mate, so they are natural workhorses.

Today, after watching a group of stallions and female donkeys complete a pleasant handover under the stimulation of yin and yang and Huansan, Lu Xingchen prepared to return to the county government office.

At this moment, Ling Xiao came hurriedly on horseback.

After destroying Feihu Village, Lu Xingchen asked Ling Xiao to secretly keep an eye on Niutou Village.

Ling Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her, and it was obvious that there was movement in Niutou Village.

"Master, a group of bandits have come down the mountain from Niutou Village. It looks like there are more than 300 of them."

Ling Xiao came to Lu Xingchen, dismounted, threw the reins to the guard next to him, and immediately came over.

Lu Xingchen reached out and patted the dust off his forehead and wiped the loose hair on his forehead.

"Don't be so anxious, take your time."

"Master, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Niutou Village? In the past two days, some people have left Niutou Village one after another. However, they did not go down the mountain, but went to Panlong Village. I don't know what they are discussing."

"Today, more than 300 people suddenly rushed down from the mountain in Niutou Village. They all looked strong and healthy."

"I think they're going to rob."

"Then send someone to tell Lu Yun to ambush at the border of Xing County and Song County. Once the bandits get close to Xing County, give them a head-on blow." Lu Xingchen said.

"I have sent someone to inform Lu Yun, and I will send another person over." Ling Xiao said excitedly.

"Should we go?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head, "It's not time yet."

A look of disappointment appeared on Ling Xiao's little face.

"Don't worry, you will have your chance to fight in the future." Lu Xingchen patted Ling Xiao's dusty face.

"Go, go back, take a shower, and have a good sleep."

Ling Xiao nodded, grabbed the reins, and climbed onto the horse.

"Master, if there is a war, don't abandon me."

Lu Xingchen nodded at him, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you..."

Lu Yun did encounter a small group of bandits from Niutou Village.

However, they saw that Lu Yun was well prepared, so they did not dare to take any risks and withdrew after a brief confrontation.

Lu Yun did not chase them, but only captured two small bandits.
