Chapter 35 Wearing the Bull's Nose
There is no doubt that after Li Fei was taken back to the Lin family by Lin Siming, he scolded him severely. He said that opening a restaurant to do business is a vulgar thing. As the son-in-law of the Lin family, he is also a member of the Lin family, which means that the Lin family cannot be shamed for the Lin family.
In the future, Li Fei will not be allowed to participate in chess gambling, but also will not be allowed to participate in business.
"Our Lin family has a family business, and it is not short of that little money. You just need to be at ease with Yueyue. The family business of the Lin family is enough to make you feel comfortable and worry-free for the rest of your life." After the scolding, Lin Siming said with great thought.
"I understand." Li Fei rolled his eyes and didn't care. If he really wanted to do nothing and did nothing for the rest of his life, of course he would be willing to keep a beautiful wife for the rest of his life. Who wouldn't want to live a comfortable and comfortable life?
But he knew that in five or six years, the Anshi Rebellion would be, no matter how big the Lin family business was, as long as he was in a war-torn area, many of the family businesses would be destroyed. What's the use? Before that, if he didn't do anything and didn't fight for it at all, would he watch that day come and he was powerless?
"..." Lin Siming was almost angry with Li Fei's disregarded expression. He thought that this time he could hit Li Fei so that Li Fei could do his duty in the future, but he did not expect that Li Fei's attitude actually made him feel like he had punched the cotton, and he was uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.
Lin Siming was a little powerless and felt full of regret. If Li Fei had asked him to leave with a thousand taels of silver, he would have hired someone else to be his son-in-law. He never expected that Li Fei was so restless.
It would be fine if he was restless, but he could always get a lot of money back. In the past few days, a flute song by Li Fei began to circulate in Xunyang County. At that time, Li Fei and Lin Shiyue sang the piano and flute in the mansion. He was sure that the three songs of plum blossoms were blown by Li Fei.
Regardless of whether it was original by Li Fei or not, Li Fei's ability constantly showed made him feel that Li Fei was not easy to control and was not a "competent" son-in-law.

Li Fei was also very sad when he left Lin Siming.
Suddenly he didn't know what he should do. Whether it was gambling, playing cards, or doing business, Lin Siming would definitely stop him. Lin Siming hoped that he would stay in the Lin family and accompany Lin Shiyue, and it would be better to leave a son to give them the Lin family inheritance incense.
He didn't know what Lin Siming and Cao County Magistrate would deal with the matter in the restaurant. He would definitely not let him and Cao Xiaozhong meet.
Perhaps because the restaurant is under his name, Cao Xiaozhong should not be beaten too badly by his father.
"Oh--" Li Fei sighed helplessly.
Li Fei guessed wrongly. Cao Xiaozhong was not only miserable, but also very miserable. After a while, Cao Xiaozhong was taken back to Cao's house, his screams like a pig-killing sound came out. I don't know what he would be beaten in the end.
It was not long after that, it was time to harvest summer grain.
Harvest summer grain and sowing it all in one month, which was the busiest month in the Tang Dynasty.
The Lin family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land and dozens of tenants. As the heirs of the next generation of the Lin family, the summer harvest and sowing are all handed over to Lin Shiyue. Li Fei, as Lin Shiyue's husband, also took action.
"Madam." Li Fei helped Lin Shiyue to help her get better.
In fact, the Lin family has been rising for nearly a hundred years and has already formed a complete system of harvesting and sowing, and everything is in order. Lin Shiyue is the one who comes to inspect and check the accounts on behalf of the owner, check the grain production geometry, and then distribute part to the tenants, etc.
Although the Tang Dynasty was still in its prosperous era, whether it was harvesting grain or sowing seeds, it was far worse than the mechanized future generations, or it should not be compared together at all.
Li Fei noticed the oxen used to pull carts and shook his head with a smile.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Lin Shiyue happened to see it and asked strangely.
"To pull a ox cart, not only can people not sit in the cart, but they also have to follow the ox head and control the direction. But the ox is stubborn and sometimes he goes off or refuses to leave, which has delayed much effort. I believe that when using the ox to plow the field, he also has to pull the ox in front to control the direction and the ox in the back, and the ox is too wasteful of manpower." Li Fei said with a smile.
The main reason is that the ox in the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of wearing a cow's nose. Cows are wild and stubborn. Even oxes cultivated since childhood often cannot be held back when they plow the fields and plow the fields. The ox's nose is the most afraid of pain. No matter how crazy the cow is, as long as it holds the ox's nose, the ox will stop resisting obediently, and let the ox go in which direction the ox is, and the probability of circumventing is greatly reduced.
Helplessly, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the previous dynasties, cows are very important. Even every cow will be registered in the yamen. Those who kill cows for no reason will have to go to jail. Naturally, no one has ever tried to use the method of wearing the nose of a cow to control cows.
"Is there any way for you, my husband?" Lin Shiyue asked.
"Yes, yes, each cow can save one manpower, so that the cows are obedient and the farming speed is faster, so I am afraid that my wife will not believe it." Li Fei smiled.
"Honey, do you really have a way?" Lin Shiyue was shocked.
"Of course!" Li Fei confirmed with great confidence.
Lin Shiyue's beautiful eyes lit up. She originally asked afterwards, but she didn't expect that Li Fei really said there was a way, which really surprised her. If it was as Li Fei said, it would save manpower and speed up the cultivation speed, which would not only make great contributions to the Lin family, but also to the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Husband, tell me, what exactly is the solution?" Lin Shiyue grabbed Li Fei's hand, her beautiful eyes wide open and shiny because of excitement. The waves were shining, with a different style.
Although it is normal for couples to have been together for a long time and it is normal for them to go on blind dates in their skin, Li Fei still cannot withstand Lin Shiyue's temptation.
"The way is to wear the bull's nose---" Li Fei smiled and said the theory of wearing the bull's nose.
"Wedding a bull's nose? This---" is so shocking that Lin Shiyue was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Husband, it's not that Yueyue doesn't believe in her husband. If she kills a cow for no reason, she will go to jail. If she accidentally penetrates the cow to death, even if her father is the county magistrate, she will not be able to help her once she is caught and operates with such a handle." After a while, Lin Shiyue said hesitantly.
You know, County Magistrate Zhang has always wanted to find opportunities to suppress and even defeat the Lin and Cao families. If something really happened, County Magistrate Zhang would definitely not miss such an opportunity.
"Madam, the vitality of a cow is much stronger than that of a human. Just pierce a small hole between the two nostrils, so you won't kill the cow. At least I'm so old, I haven't heard of any cow killed it because of wearing the cow's nose." Li Fei was very confident in this regard.
"Is this really the case?" Lin Shiyue was already a little eager to try it out. She had been with Li Fei for many days. After getting along, she knew that what Li Fei was not sure about would not say it so confidently, and it should be really feasible.
"If your wife has doubts, you can ask a few trustworthy servants to find a place where no one is. If it is really useful, it will not be too late to promote it on a large scale. At that time, let your father-in-law take the lead in promoting it in Xunyang County, at least one month or as much as half a year. When Xunyang County succeeds, you can report to the emperor to promote it all over the world. With this contribution, your father-in-law can be promoted at least three levels in a row!"
If the cattle were not killed and made it more obedient, it would save manpower when farming and also make the farming faster. For any emperor, it would be a great achievement that would benefit the people of the world. Although Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was tired of politics, was extravagant and corrupt, and began to be greedy for pleasure, he was not so stupid that he was helpless.
