Chapter 190: What a Fast Plow!
This is a stick, but you still have to give a date, Ma Qiang threw the account book to Huang Xu on the side and said, "Put it away, this matter is for the time being, Han Envoy, let's continue to sacrifice and other things." ”
Now who is interested in seeing any sacrifices, after the hasty end, Ma Qiang sent people to distribute wine, vegetables and meat, this wine will naturally not be Erguotou, but the local wine of Zhuo County.
Zhang Fei took a sip, spit it aside, and stopped drinking, Guan Yu couldn't help but wonder when he saw it, "The third brother is a lifelong drinker on weekdays, why is this the case today?" ”
Zhang Fei sat on the ground, looked at Ma Qiang above angrily and said, "I didn't expect the camp owner to be so stingy, not to take the second pot head, but to fill up with such a drink, but I hate that Gan Dao Chang doesn't know where to go, otherwise he must have good wine!" ”
Guan Yu hadn't drunk Erguotou either, and looked at Ma Qiang with some curiosity, this thorn history gave him a really different feeling.
Ma Qiang felt a gaze, followed it, and saw that it was Guan Yu, and couldn't help but want to talk about it again, I didn't ask it clearly last time, whether Guan Yu likes green hats or not.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the chaos of the moth thieves, the spring ploughing is restless, and today Ma Zhijun leads by example and personally ploughs the fields to show the heart of persuading farmers!"
With Han Zhijun's shout, Ma Qiang started the second program, that is, the display of spring ploughing.
With the help of several old farmers in the Red Star Camp, Ma Qiang began to plough the fields with some nervousness.
In ancient times, even the emperor had to push the plow.
"What kind of plow is this? It looks big, and it looks weird. ”
Han Zhuo, as a county guard, is also a farmer, it should be said that there are too few people who don't know agriculture in this era, after all, the city is too small, and it is farmland when they go out.
"This is a new plough of my Lord's creation." Duan Ying explained with a smile.
Duan Ying admires Ma Qiang's whimsy the most, it seems that there is always something new to come up with, and now it is not only Ma Qiang who has whimsical ideas, it is said that this plow is the product of Yan Fa and Yang Chi developed separately, and finally fused together.
This plough is no longer as simple as the Quyuan plow, due to the many livestock in Youzhou, the plough that Ma Qiang now uses can be said to be a combination of the mouldboard plough and the Quyuan plow.
Needless to say, the plough of later generations of Chinese people knows, and the mouldboard plough was invented in England in the eighteenth century, and its characteristic is that it can not only plough the land, but also plough the ground at the same time, but to do this, it is necessary to use iron to create key parts such as coulters, and even use all-iron ploughs.
This plough is best used by livestock, if it is manpower, it will be too large and overworked.
"Let's get started!"
With Ma Qiang's shout, the farmer began to urge the inferior horse to plough the field, while Ma Qiang assumed the position of the plowman.
Then, a scene that stunned everyone appeared.
Ma Qiang didn't seem to be plowing the land, but riding in a carriage, and the speed of the inferior horse was almost no different from the speed of the usual carriage, and many people began to discuss it in confusion.
"This Spurs can't be that they can't plow the fields, right?"
"That's right, at such a speed, I'm afraid the plough doesn't go down at all."
"Hey, look at it, that's what it means."
But soon everyone found out that something was wrong, because the place where Ma Qiang cultivated the field was located below, and the area of waiting for cultivation gradually increased, everyone found that this was indeed ploughing, and the soil that had been turned out and changed color could not be faked.
"It's... What's going on? ”
"Why is the land plowed so fast? Could it be that a war horse? ”
"Absolutely not, it's just a bad horse, the old man has a lot of research on Soma."
Guan Yu also squinted his eyes and felt incredible, and asked Zhang Fei, who was eating meat, and Liu Bei, who was smiling, "Big brother and third brother, why aren't you surprised?" ”
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes while chewing and said, "Since it is made by the camp master, unless he can cultivate the field by himself, there is nothing to be surprised about." ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "With this thing, my Han can have tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and Ming Gong is unaware of it, and always makes good things." ”
"Would you like to take a look?" Han Zhuo shouted above, and the representatives of the Shi clan below were no longer reserved, one ran faster than the other, and some didn't even bother to wear shoes.
Later generations may not be able to understand the ancients' expectation of high-quality agricultural tools, which is not only a tool, but also synonymous with food and life.
It is the ultimate representative of ancient wealth, and for ancient farmers, a good plow can be used as an heirloom!
"What is this called a plow?"
When they got closer, everyone realized that it was a plow they had never seen before.
"This is called Yang Yan Plough, also known as Plough Plough, which was jointly created by Yang Chi and Yan Fa, two subordinates of Ling Jun."
Ma Qiang knew how much impact this farm tool would have on future generations, so he wanted to take the opportunity to stuff some private goods into it, and with Yang Chi and Yan Fa in front, there would be a lot less resistance to the implementation of science in the future.
"Where can I get it?"
"Ming Gong is ready to build a large number of fields, and lease them to farmers to open up fields at a low price, I don't know if you are interested?"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Such a treasure, who said that there is none, the brain must have been kicked by a donkey!
Now they have forgotten about the possibility of selling the grain at a low price, and with such a plough, it means that more fields can be cultivated with the current tenants, and this is an infinite future!
Everyone looked at Ma Qiang no longer hostile, but full of flattery.
Everyone understands that whoever can get a large number of such farm tools first will get the first hand in the next reclamation competition.
"This thing is not sold, but only grain is exchanged, and if there is no grain in the present hand, it can be used as collateral for future harvests." Duan Ying continued to look at everyone and said with a smile, "Ming Gong said before, I will only buy seventy percent of the inventory in your hands, and you still have thirty percent of the stored grain in exchange for this thing, if you are interested, you can come to Tiemian to discuss this matter, due to the limited production, first come, first served, please forgive me." ”
"That's, that's!"
Ma Qiang is ready to take out all the food in their hands!
However, it is also foreseeable that when Youzhou is full of this kind of mouldboard plough, it will inevitably lead to a peak of grain production.
Again, science and technology are the primary productive forces!
And Liu Xin and the others in the distance saw the scene in front of them, and the shock in their hearts was conceivable.
Ma Qiang's teaching may really work.
After such a plough became widespread, the fields of the world were no longer a fixed number, and it was only a matter of time before they were doubled.
With so many more fields, there is a basis for granting fields.
If we can grant land again, maybe the displaced people will really disappear.
Protect Ming Gong! Enter Luoyang! Push the good law! Bestow the name of the field!!
All the officers secretly shouted the slogan they had taught the commanders before, and at this moment, this is no longer an empty slogan, but a dream that can be realized!
