Chapter 25: Announcement

Seeing the young man go back alone, Yang Yong then asked the remaining twenty people: "Whose cows are willing to wear cow noses? I promise that the cows will be safe after wearing them. If there is something wrong with plowing ox, how will this palace pay you ten coins for each plowing ox?"

The other farmers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. No matter which ox is, it is the lifeblood of the family. When the court teaches fields, farmers who have oxen can also provide 30 acres of land, which shows the importance of oxen. Some farmers can save money to afford oxen for their lifetime, which will also be in a peaceful era. If it is a wasteland or a mess, a farmer may not be able to afford oxen for the rest of his life and can only use people to pull the land.

Such thick branches pass through the cow's nose, can it really be guaranteed to be fine? It's just that Prince Yang Yong's identity makes such a farmer dare not doubt it. However, there are also farmers who are flexible in their hearts to move in their hearts. If nothing happens, it's just that. If the ox dies and the prince can really pay ten cents of money, he can buy two half a year. As long as he raises it, wouldn't there be two cows at home?

"Sir, if there is something wrong with plowing oxen, can you really pay ten cents of money?" a middle-aged man asked timidly.

"Bold, you dare to doubt the words of Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yun Dingxing couldn't help but shout loudly.

Yang Yong raised his hand and stopped Yun Dingxing and continued to speak: "Go, bring the money."

Yun Dingxing had no choice but to signal two minor officials to move the money. After a while, a large wooden box was lifted out. Yang Yong opened the wooden box and suddenly emitted a yellow light from the box. The farmers' eyes suddenly opened. They had never seen so many brand new copper coins in their lives.

"How about it? As long as you are willing to wear a cow's nose, each person can immediately take ten guan coins back. If the ox dies, then the guan coins will belong to you. If the ox is fine in ten days, you only need to pay back nine guan coins back."

In this way, if the ox is nothing, they will have at least a consistent income. If the ox dies, they can earn two or three RMB. Several younger farmers are immediately moved, but they still have doubts in their hearts: "Sir, what should I do if the ox dies?"

"Don't worry, your plowing ox is equivalent to buying it for the government. If it dies, it has nothing to do with you."

An old farmer said to himself: "I heard that someone in the south pierces a cow's nostrils. The old man thought it was nonsense, but it seemed that it was really feasible."

In fact, wearing a cow nose was found in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was not that Yang Yong had invented it first. However, in ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and all regions regarded plowing oxes as their lives. Only those places that had tasted the benefits of plowing oxes would remain. Only those who had few cows in the south were passed down locally, so they had the habit of wearing a cow nose to maximize the efficiency of the cow nose. Most of the cows in the north came from the grassland, and the cattle on the grassland were free and had no custom of wearing a cow nose at all. Even if you heard the behavior of the south, you had never seen a cow that could plow the nose with your own eyes. People who thought it was just spreading rumors and refused to believe it.

"Uncle Zhou, it's really okay to wear a cow's nose?" Hearing the old farmer talking to himself, several men who were already moved were even more happy.

The old farmer named Uncle Zhou still shook his head: "I have to hear that, and I can't promise, you can decide for yourself."

Seeing their whispering discussion, Yang Yong did not interrupt. Sure enough, five young farmers walked up to Yang Yong together: "Sir, we are willing to put the nose on the cow."

Yang Yong nodded: "Okay, then you guys do it yourself."

Several people quickly turned around and walked towards the nearby woods. They broke a branch of a shaped finger-sized shape and finger-sized like Yang Yong. However, they had no knives on their bodies. After breaking the branches, they had to fold back. Looking at the sword on Yang Yong's guard, one of them asked boldly: "Several adults, can you use the sword?"

Several guards looked at them coldly, feeling very unhappy. How could they cut branches for their own murderous knife? Looking at the guard's cold face, the brave farmer suddenly felt guilty and retracted his hand.

Yang Yong quickly ordered: "Give them the dagger."

Hearing Yang Yong's orders, several guards reluctantly took out the dagger they carried with them and handed it to the several farmers who were about to borrow the sword. Several of them took the dagger awkwardly. With the dagger, they quickly cut the branches and walked towards their own scalpers.

Several yellow cows looked alertly at the branches in their master's hand. When Yang Yong pierced the yellow cow's nose just now, the other yellow cows could see clearly. Seeing that the owner was holding the same thing, several yellow cows exhaled heavily from their noses and issued a low warning.

However, these young men didn't care too much. They made several "moo, moo" sounds from their mouths and sootheed the scalpers, took the opportunity to approach, put the scalpers' head in their hands, and began to pierce the nostrils of the cow.

They just saw that Yang Yong was simple when piercing the nostrils for the cow, but it was extremely difficult for them to pierce the nostrils. In fact, piercing the nostrils should be done when the cow is half a year old. These scalpers are all in their prime. The meat of the nostrils has grown thick and is not easy to pierce. Moreover, when the cow feels pain, the cow's head will immediately throw it away. Several people are so busy that they sweat and cannot penetrate the branches.

Yang Yong was secretly frightened, afraid that these cows would go crazy and would have an accident, so he hurriedly said: "Yang Shi, bring a few people over to help hold the cow's head, be careful that the scalpers would go crazy."

As soon as Yang Yong finished speaking, a "moo" sound came from a loud "moo". His yellow head was stabbed several times by his master. His nose was unbearable. He struggled hard and threw the reins off. The man who was piercing the nostrils of the cow loosened his feet and fell to the ground. The yellow cow who had broken free from the rope was whispered in his mouth, panting, staring at the owner who was thrown to the ground with his blood-red eyes. When he lowered his head, he was about to push it with his horns.

The man's face was pale. If he was pushed by the ox horn, he would probably have to be seriously injured even if he didn't die. Fortunately, Yang Shi had approached and shouted loudly, holding the ox head down before the ox was pushed to the person, and the farmer escaped.

Several other people were busy for a long time but still couldn't wear it. When they saw a companion almost had an accident, they stopped quickly and did not dare to wear it anymore. Yang Yong had no choice but to snatch the peeled branch from the man who was almost injured by a cow just now: "Let me do it."

Yang Yong walked up to the yellow cow that Yang Shi was pressing. After seeing Yang Yong coming, the yellow cow understood Yang Yong's intention and made a whimpering sound. The two hooves in front moved around and drew several deep marks on the ground. They tried desperately to break free, but Yang Shi on its head seemed to have a thousand pounds of strength, and no matter how hard it struggled, it would be useless.

With a "puff", Yang Yong poked hard, and the branches had passed through the nostrils of the yellow cow. Several drops of blood fell on the wasteland. Yang Yong quickly tied a knot on the end that passed with a rope, indicating that Yang Shi would let go.

Yang Shi's hand relaxed, and Huang Newton felt the pressure on his body disappear. It hated the pain Yang Yong had just brought him. He rushed towards Yang Yong with a loud moo. Yang Yong shook the reins with his hand, and a sour and numb feeling of discomfort came from its nostrils. The yellow cow mooed several times, but he no longer had anger, but instead seemed to begging for mercy.

Yang Yong threw the reins into its owner's hand: "Next, you can try it."

A branch as thick as a finger passed through his nostril, but the scalper stopped moving without much blood. Although he could get ten pillars of copper coins once the scalper was dead, the man still pulled the reins carefully, for fear of causing harm to the scalper. The scalper was pulled by the owner, and the numbness from his nose made it move in the direction of the rope. The man tried several times even though the scalper, who was extremely stubborn in the past obediently under his command, was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "It's really useful."

Yang Yong shouted: "The scalper's wound has not healed yet, so don't touch too much."

"Yes, sir." The young man convinced and put down the reins and let the scalpers who had just put on their noses move freely. Yang Yong had already passed through the noses of the two scalpers, and a guard helped him hold the cow's head. The frame was easy and it was easy. After a while, even the five scalpers were put on the nostrils. The scalpers that were passing through the nostrils were mooing and mooing in pain. For a moment, the front of the Agricultural College was full of cows.

The scalpers that passed through the nostrils were carefully tied to their owners. There were still six scalpers that had not passed through the nostrils at the scene. When Yang Yong wanted to wear them again, he was kneeling down and begged by several old farmers. Although they saw that the first scalper could bow their heads and eat grass, they were all very distressed when they heard the croaking of the cows. Several farmers who had already made up their minds to pierce the nostrils of the cows also changed their minds and would rather not make money than let their ox suffer.

Yang Yong did not force it. After a few days, he waited for the scalpers to heal. Seeing the benefits of piercing the nostrils of the cow, they naturally would not resist. Since the five scalpers were unable to plow the land for the time being, and the scalpers that were taken away at the beginning, only six scalpers could still contribute. Yang Yong did not want them to use the scalpers that did not pass through the nostrils to waste a labor force and announced that the land reclamation will be suspended and will continue in five days.

The six scalpers that had not passed through their nostrils were brought back by their owners. Yang Yong asked Yun Dingxing to give each of them a five-day subsidy, and the other five scalpers that had been worn on their nostrils were left to be taken care of by the Agricultural College. Each of their owners could bring ten guans of money home. If the cow was fine in ten days, they only had to pay back nine guans of money and the cow was left to them.
