Chapter Seventy-Seven

"I mean all." This sentence seemed to have a demonic nature, swirling in Ge Liuyuan's mind, he and Wang Jing looked at me, I looked at you, and they were stunned for a while.

They would never have thought that these top-secret drawings found with great difficulty would be so worthless in Tang Xiaoshi's eyes, and the things designed by skilled craftsmen among the tens of thousands of people in the Chu Dynasty and spent a lot of manpower and material resources were actually sprayed as "garbage" by Tang Xiaoshi.

If it were someone else, I am afraid it would be difficult to tolerate Tang Xiaoshi's rude contempt for these drawings, but Ge Liuyuan and Wang Jing could tolerate it, because through these years of contact, they already understood that if Tang Xiaoshi dared to say this, it meant that she could come up with better farm tools.

The two even thought to themselves, maybe what Tang Xiaoshi wrote on the notice was true.

That would be too rebellious.

Water flows high and watering dry land, ten people can plough 100 acres a day, and they can build houses without cutting down trees, which is a real major event in people's livelihood.

I heard Tang Xiaoshi shouting: "Qiu'er! ”

"Here!" Qiu'er Lilisuo entered the lobby, "What do you command, sir?" ”

"How many sets of farm tools did you make yesterday?"

Tang Qiu'er replied: "The blacksmiths of the entire Beizhuang are in a hurry, and now more than ten sets have been built. ”

"Find someone to carry a set over, so that the two countries can open their eyes."

Tang Xiaoshi understands that once the farm tools he designed are past the eyes of these two "old thieves", they will inevitably get their hands on them and think that they will be used in the world.

In fact, Tang Xiaoshi didn't plan to cherish the broom, she was naturally willing to take out good things and share them.

Tong guò two princes to promote, but it is much faster than her own promotion, after all, these two are like the old roots of the Chu Dynasty, and the branches of the court are connected to them.

After a while, a set of newly made farm tools was brought up, the most eye-catching of which were ox plows, seeders and rotary lawn mowers, in addition to sickles, hoes, shovels and other things, the shape was different from that of the Chu Dynasty, for example, Tang Xiaoshi designed the sickle to be longer, and replaced the smooth blade with sharp serrations, which cut the grass rod much faster, and for example, the two sides of the shovel were made into a place for the feet, which was convenient to use the feet when shoveling, rather than just using the hands.

Seeing Tang Xiaoshi's agricultural tools, Ge Liuyuan's first sentence of praise was not the cleverness of its design, but said: "How can you be willing to use such a good steel sheet to make agricultural tools?" This should be sent to the battlefield and tempered into knives and guns! ”

In the Chu Dynasty, steel was too scarce, especially hard steel, which was basically distributed to the army.

Ge Liuyuan gently knocked on those iron farm tools, only to hear the sound crisp, so that the texture of the steel can be judged, Ge Liuyuan looked at Tang Xiaoshi with the eyes of a monster, and said: "Extravagant, extravagant!" How can you be willing to use such good iron to make agricultural tools? If it is used to make knives, it must be indestructible. ”

Tang Xiao retorted: "The army comes from the soldiers, the soldiers come from the people, the people come from the food, and the food comes from the farmers, the Guogong won't even understand such a truth, right?" To raise an army, you must first raise farmers. ”

"I naturally understand the reason, but the amount of iron produced by the Chu Dynasty every year is too small, and it really can't take into account the civil ......" Ge Liuyuan said helplessly, he suddenly realized a problem that he almost ignored, and said, "Princess Feijing also understands...... The way to make iron? ”

The words were full of shock.

Tang Xiaoshi smiled but did not answer, deliberately bypassed the topic of steel, and began to introduce the farm tools she designed: "The two princes of the country look at this ox plow, behind the ox, people stand on the cultivated land, with its blade to break ten acres of soil in a day, is it difficult?" ”

Oxen have great strength, steel is harder than wood, such an ox plough is not a problem to plough ten acres a day, so that ten people, naturally can plough a hundred acres a day.

The two princes also saw that there were small holes drilled under the iron plough, and when the iron plough turned over the soil, the seeds in the jar would fall into the newly turned soil through the small holes in the conduit, which not only eliminated the step of manual sowing, but also made it more uniform than manual sowing. So, do the two princes still think that I can't do 100 acres a day? ”

Ge Liuyuan and Wang Jing looked at me and I looked at you again, they felt that their old faces were dull, looking at the drawings on the table, the two of them couldn't wait to rush over and crumple them together, and it was no wonder that Tang Xiaoshi regarded these so-called top-level farm tools in the Chu Dynasty as garbage.

Fancy but not practical.

Ge Liuyuan was so shrewd and calm, he went to the courtyard to beckon a few entourages he had brought in, and said solemnly: "You guys, quickly, pack up this set of farm tools that Princess Jing gave me and send them to the Guogong Mansion." ”

Tang Xiaoshi watched Ge Liuyuan play Laipi, and didn't stop him, just smiled: "If Guogong likes it, move away, if it's not enough, it's okay to move a few more sets, it's just ......"

"Just what?!" Ge Liuyuan asked anxiously.

"It's just that even if you move back, you can't make such a farm tool without the way to make iron, and besides, how can the iron pipes on the ox plow be made by an ordinary blacksmith?"

Ge Liuyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Xiaoshi to have a back hand, and immediately said with a smile: "It's still Princess Jing who is careful, then please ask Princess Jing to send a copy of the technical drawings to the old man." ”

"What's in it for me?" Tang Xiaoshi asked with a smile, thinking to herself, there is no benefit, why would you take away the results that I have worked so hard for a long time? finally took the bait of the two old foxes, and Tang Xiaoshi would not let go of the opportunity to "squeeze" them.

Ge Liuyuan pretended to be heroic and said: "Princess Jing will be loved by the people because of this, sing for the people, and sing for the ages!" ”

As a result, Tang Xiaoshi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't tell me about those false things, this trick won't work for me." ”

"Then what does Princess Jing want?"

Finally waiting for this sentence, Tang Xiaoshi was proud and said, "Why don't we make a deal?" ”

This trick is called: stealing chickens does not make a handful of rice, and it is just right to use it on Ge Liuyuan.

……

……

Outside the gate of the academy, King Jing's carriage Chu Ming passed by the gate of the academy, the carriage stopped, Chu Ming opened the curtain and glanced at this familiar place from afar, his eyes were very complicated, he moved out of here when he came back from Yangzhou City, and he never came back once.

And the relationship between him and Tang Xiaoshi is limited to communicating with Guò's subordinates.

"Uncle Fu, let's go."

Uncle Fu was puzzled, didn't drive the horse forward, and asked, "Won't the prince go in and have a look?" ”

Chu Ming sighed in a low voice and said, "Don't go in, I made an agreement with her, and she must not want to see me at this time." ”

"What agreement?"

Chu Ming no longer answered, and Uncle Fu had no choice but to drive away.
