Quick Time: The Cannon Fodder chooses to Farm

61-65

Chapter 61 Being a female matchmaker and choosing to farm (10) (Please order a monthly pass at the third watch!)
  This Zhuangzi in the Wangfu was indeed a mature small village. After the whole thing was bought by the Wangfu, the villagers became tenant farmers in the Wangfu. But not being a slave is equivalent to a binding employment relationship.

  When Xu Yin and his party arrived, the tenant farmers were all working in the fields, plowing the fields and transplanting rice seedlings.

  Uncle Wang, who was in charge of Zhuangzi, was the original village head and was very proficient in farming.

  Xu Yin didn't waste any time. As soon as she arrived, she ordered the guards to take Qu Yuanli off the carriage, and explained the operation method to Wang Boyi.

  Uncle Wang understood: it turned out to be a plow! It's just that the style is different from what they usually use. Since you want to try it, let's try it.

  He beckoned to a young man: "Take a plow and plow a section of the field to show the nobleman."

  People in the nearby fields all straightened up and looked over.

  Someone jokingly said: "Uncle Wang, why are you calling Liu Sheng to pull the plow? It's no wonder he can pull the plow with such a small body! Why don't you replace me?

  " Pushing Qu Yuanli loosely, he walked up. It's really like walking in the fields, it seems that there is no effort at all.

  Everyone was astonished.

  Immediately one by one scrambled to try.

  It was hard to believe that Liu Sheng was so thin and thin, but he was able to push the plow. It usually took a lot of effort to pull it.

  Looking at the place where the Quyuan plow passed, not only the soil clods are dark in color and the particles are small, it can be seen that the plowing is deep and broken, but also pushed to the sides, like a ship, splitting the wind and waves to move forward.

  This is incredible!
  For farmers, what interest is better than the improvement of farm tools and the increase of mu yield?

  Right now, the most labor-intensive but indispensable farm tool appeared in front of them. Who would not be surprised and cheered?

  All the peasants in the vicinity gathered around and tried it, and they all thought the plow worked well.

  Not to mention light and labor-saving, the key is that the plowed land is deeper than that of oxen.

  Seeing that the effect was good, Xu Yin nodded with satisfaction, and said to Uncle Wang,
  "I'll leave this one for you, and I'll send another batch over tomorrow. In addition, I need a few mu of land for the test field, and it's best to leave it away from Zhuangzikou. The main road is closer."

  She has to walk a long way.

  It would be great if there was rubber. Let's see if we can make tires. With tires, we can build bicycles.

  On the way, she asked the nanny and the maid, but unfortunately neither of them had heard of or seen anything like rubber.

  But she remembered that rubber is indeed a tropical crop. Could it be that it hasn't been introduced to this continent yet?

  When they returned to the palace, the sky had already darkened.

  The dinner in the mansion was sent to the side courtyard after her like a pinch.

  When Xu Yin came out of the shower and saw the rich dishes on the table, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: so rich?

  Qiu Shuang replied: "The butler asked the girl if she was dissatisfied with the food in the mansion, and she didn't send it to the big kitchen at noon, so she asked the big kitchen to prepare a table in the evening. I hope the girl will be satisfied." Xu Yin

  : "..."

  Could she say that the reason why she didn't send it to the big kitchen at noon was because the breakfast was so rich that she couldn't eat at noon?
  What a shame to say something so embarrassing.

  "Let's all sit down and eat, everyone has worked hard today."

  Mother Feng couldn't refuse a few times, so she added a table in the corner, shared some of the dishes, and ate with the girl.

  In that room, Yan Kejin was also eating, and while listening to Yan Qi's report on the movements of his unmarried concubine today, when he heard Qu Yuanli, his hand holding the chopsticks paused.

  "You said she asked a carpenter to make a different plow than before, which is light and labor-saving to pull?"

  "Yes, after listening to the report from the dark guard, I personally went to Zhuangzi to verify that it is not only light and labor-saving, but also the depth of the soil, and the width of the soil can be arbitrary. Walking along is far less labor-intensive than grinding, and there is no hindrance to turning around. Uncle Wang said that with this plow, you can plow five or six acres more than before." What is this

  concept?
  It usually takes five days to plow the land, but now it can be done in one day, the key is not as tiring as before.

  Yan Kejin put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and sent out a series of instructions:
  "Nineteen is still in Linhai County? Fei Ge asked him to call a group of craftsmen over."

  "Is Thirteen in the mansion? Let him be in charge of purchasing The materials needed for the new plow."

  "As for the blueprints, you go and talk to her... Forget it, I will go in person."

  So, after a full meal, he was holding a sour and sweet Xiaoshi tea, and leaned on it leisurely. Xu Yin, who taught Dongxue how to play backgammon on the imperial concubine's bed, pondered whether he should use a whole set of mahjong or playing cards to enrich his nighttime entertainment life.

  "Playing chess?"

  Yan Kejin walked in casually.

  "..."

  Xu Yin met Feng Nanny who was behind the prince:

  why is he here?

  Nanny Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

  The prince took time out of his busy schedule to see the girl, but the girl was too lazy to get up on the couch.

  Xu Yin remembered the etiquette here after receiving the cue from Mammy's crazy eyes.

  "..."

  This is so evil...

  Tucao is Tucao, I still have to save my life.

  She got up quickly, but she didn't have time to salute, and was supported by Yan Kejin.

  "Free gift."

  Yan Kejin didn't go around in circles, she just sat down and expressed her intentions.

  Xu Yin was stunned: "Quyuan... oh, just the plow I took to the village this afternoon? Are you interested?"

  Yan Kejin twitched the corner of her mouth slightly as she listened to the you and me in her words. But he didn't bother with her, rubbed his finger on the teacup provided by the nanny, lowered his eyes and said:

  "You don't know, the reason why Nanman is regarded as a dispensable and barren place by Yanhua is because of miasma fever. The second is barren. The soil here is not as fertile as in the north, and it is not suitable for planting wheat millet. Not only does cotton not produce here, but even if it is grown, the quality is not good. In contrast, only rice and millet have higher yields

  . But that requires deep plowing. The plow you took to Zhuangzi in the afternoon is not only light and labor-saving, but also plowing depth and width are much better than the previous plows. If it can be popularized, it will be even better." Xu

  Xu How can Yin not agree.

  What's more, she already had the idea of ​​promoting Qu Yuanli.

  It's just that the iron sheets she can buy are limited, and she can't mass-produce Quyuanli to the whole Nanman.

  Now that King Jinnan is willing to take the initiative to take over this matter, it is equivalent to reducing the burden on her, and it is too late to be happy, so who would mind!
  The drawings are here, thank you for taking them away!
  By the way, I will present an improved retting method for later generations.

  In addition, she has long wanted to say:
  "Actually, the climate here is suitable for planting winter wheat. What kind of spring wheat can be planted! Spring wheat is drought-resistant and not heat-tolerant, but here, it is humid and hot, and there are frequent showers. No matter how careful it is, I can't grow the yield in the north either. It's all in vain!"

  This is the same as "Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges".
