Blacksmith Morse at home.

"Steward Ryan, can you really plow the land with the heavy plough you designed like this?" Morse, a sturdy blacksmith, said puzzled, staring at the pattern of the farm tools on the blueprint.

"Don't ask so much, you just need to change the heavy plough to look like this as required, and if it doesn't work, I'll have someone take it to the field and try it." ”

“…… Well, I'll make one for you in three days. ”

Morse nodded, took out an iron ingot, and slammed it on the scorching blacksmith's furnace.

Zhou Ming went to the homes of several carpenters in the town, and guided them to make several farm tools he designed.

Three days later, the blacksmith Morse's new heavy plough was also ready, and the biggest change of this heavy plough was the addition of two concave and upward plough walls on top of the original conical plowshare, which was very strangely shaped.

In addition, Zhou Ming also moved the two hard birch ox yokes that the carpenters had made in the past few days to a piece of farmland, let people lead two strong oxen, put the yoke on the neck of the ox, and tied the two thick hemp ropes extending from the tail of the ox yoke to the traction handle of his newly designed heavy plough head.

"Ryan, this heavy plough needs at least four strong oxen to pull it, two oxen, how can it be pulled?"

Donnie, who came to watch the ploughing experiment of the new farm tools, stood on the ground, really not believing that the new plough designed by Zhou Ming could turn over this farmland that had just thawed and the soil was still very sticky.

"Let's get started. ”

Zhou Ming did not answer, and called the farmer who controlled the new heavy plough to wave his horsewhip, drive the strong ox, and walk forward.

"It's... How is this possible?"

Donnie's eyes suddenly widened, his face was full of shock, the heavy plough actually moved, just driven by two strong oxen, pulling the new heavy plow, quickly ploughing the soil in this farmland, the two strong oxen walked like flying, as if very relaxed, the soil ditch ploughed under the plowshare, it was even deeper and better.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming on the side nodded and said: "It's almost as I expected, after adding the plough wall to the heavy plow, at least 50% of the tensile force has been saved for the ploughing ox, and then after putting a more powerful yoke on the neck of the ploughing ox, it has saved 30%-40% of the physical strength of the ploughing ox, and the two improvements add up, the heavy plough that originally required six oxen to pull is now only two oxen......"

Hearing this, Donnie didn't stop the shock in his heart, but heard Zhou Ming say: "Now that spring sowing is approaching, there is no extra time to develop a light plow, if the light plow is also developed, I'm afraid only a strong ox is needed to pull it, and there is a horse-drawn plow, although the horse's strength is not as big as that of an ox, but the speed of a two-horse-drawn horse-drawn plough can reach twice that of an ox." ”

Downey interrupted him, "Lane, have you ever thought about it, these terrible things you invented, that is, all the land in the Gran Territory was cultivated, and it was not enough for these oxen to plough the land, and what kind of horse-drawn plough would be made? ”

Donnie felt that his heart was about to take it anymore, and Ryan had only made improvements and inventions in heavy plows and ox yokes, and had tripled the efficiency of the use of the Gran Collar Ox, but he said that there was still more room for improvement?

These stimuli alone were far from enough, and Ryan asked the farmer on the side to push a strangely shaped farm tool over and explain it to him:

"It's not enough to make improvements in the efficiency of land ploughing, Donnie, look at this thing, this is the cocoon cart I invented, it can replace the manual sowing method used by farmers when sowing seeds, as long as you adjust the seed outlet under it, push this cocoon cart, you can automatically complete the sowing work, not only that, on both sides of the columb, there are two movable wood chips, which can complete the soil covering work after sowing...... Relying on this kind of cocoon, a farmer can complete the sowing of 100 acres of land in one day. ”

"It's... This ......"

Looking at the cocoon in front of him, Donnie's body trembled, and he pointed at Zhou Ming and said, "Ryan, you want to make all the farmers in the Gran Territory lazy to death, you ......"

He didn't know what to say anymore.

Zhou Ming shook his head unsatisfied: "Only these are not enough, when the autumn harvest comes, I still have to invent the horse-drawn harvester quickly, this kind of harvester is pulled by horses, and can complete hundreds of acres of harvesting work in a day, there are still a lot of horses in the Gran Collar, probably as long as ten harvesters are prepared, all the wheat fields in the Gran Collar basically do not need manpower to harvest." ”

There are also threshing machines instead of manpower, windmills driven by wind power...... Zhou Ming plans to take the road of agricultural mechanization from sowing to harvesting, in which animal power and wind power completely replace manpower.

Coupled with the "strongest manure" that he has spent more than ten years preparing and improving, and the "pesticide" prepared by using pyrethroids contained in chrysanthemums, an unprecedented agricultural revolution will take place in this small territory.

Now Zhou Ming just wants to do a good job on the small stage of Grand Ling!

"You, you, no wonder you were so confident before, what kind of agricultural reform you want to implement, it turned out that you had been prepared for a long time, and now the farmers of the Gran Territory, as long as they finish a few days of farm work, can lie down at home and wait for the big harvest in the field, and those farmers in the future are estimated to be more relaxed than me, the lord. ”

Downey complained, feeling that Ryan was really kind to the farmers in the territory.

Zhou Ming smiled and didn't say anything, anyway, the spring sowing season is coming, and you can see what kind of performance the farmers will have.

……

Twenty days later.

Standing on the spire of the castle and looking at the hot scene in the farmland around the castle, Donnie's eyes were about to bulge.

Crazy, just crazy!

The farmers in the fields were like crazy and obsessed, working hard in the fields all day long.

There was no overseer with a whip to urge them, and no one forced them, but all of these peasants came to their rented fields spontaneously, and got up early and worked greedily in the dark.

These farmers didn't seem to feel tired at all, and in the process of working, they even sang cheerful mountain songs, and the fields were full of laughter.

Zhou Ming was also very surprised, although he estimated in his heart that the labor enthusiasm of the farmers in the territory should be improved, but he did not expect it to increase so much at once, and even subverted some of the impressions of farmers in his mind, such as being lazy, cowardly, cheating and slippery, and so on.

It was not until a few years later, when he re-examined the nine articles of his "Agricultural Reform Regulations" that he suddenly realized that he had seriously underestimated the great power of the last article of the "Protection of Private Property" in this "Agricultural Reform Regulations".

Because.

Only when private property is secured, farmers raise chickens, ducks, cows and sheep in the backyard without worrying about being taken by the tax collector at any time.

It was only when private property was recognized that farmers dared to take their property and trade, exchange and spend it openly in the bazaar, without fear of sudden confiscation by the tax collectors.

It was only when private property was protected that farmers dared to save their savings for future generations without fear of being levied by the lord on a huge inheritance tax.

It was through this agrarian reform decree that the amazing power suddenly released from the farmers soon brought about earth-shaking changes in the small territory of the Glen Territory.
