No one is good at doing something from the start.

As for the Chinese society, in fact, it is a more contradictory society.

The first is the idea of the official standard, no matter when, no matter what you do, as long as you can be an official, this is definitely the first choice of everyone.

Under the influence of the official-oriented ideology, other industries are gradually withering or being suppressed.

Fortunately at this time now, hundreds of schools are still active on the stage of history and have not been completely suppressed.

This is lucky, and the same is unfortunate.

With so many years of ups and downs, the current hundred schools have basically reached the stage of the end of the road.

Whether it is a craftsman or a farmer, these are collectively referred to as craftsmen.

Regardless of the dynasty, this is a group of people who are valued, but it is also a group of people who are not valued.

What is important?

All the elites who are qualified to compete will try their best to take this group of people into their own hands.

In the same way, they will do their best to suppress their social status and prevent them from getting ahead.

Over time, over time, another embarrassing situation has gradually formed.

The most elite craftsmen of the empire were in the hands of the powerful.

Folk craftsmen pass on their sons but not their sons-in-law, and men do not pass on their daughters.

Relying on a craft to support a family, gradually, or being eliminated, or because of some unexpected factors, disappeared in the long river with those histories.

You can make a plow, you can make a weapon, you can make a strong and durable wooden cart.

For Wang Buying, who has seen the prosperity of the later generations, these are old-fashioned techniques, even if they are sent, even if they are taught for free, no one may be willing to learn these things.

But now, it's the most advanced technology in the world.

Now the country has gradually stabilized, and the threat of the Xiongnu has been initially lifted.

After a few years of recuperation, the smiles on the faces of the people have become more and more, and their expectations for the future have become stronger.

Population development is also rapid, and the number of new people is increasing rapidly every year.

Wang Bu Hungry also set a small goal for himself, and in his lifetime, he hopes to be able to complete two small goals and try to work towards the three small goals.

When everything began to stabilize gradually, Wang Buxing also began to do some things he wanted to do.

"Wang Shangshu, what is that kid of yours doing?" Looking at Wang Ji, who was still busy below, Zhang Buyi's idle egg found Wang Ling painfully.

Anyway, so many people are watching, and besides, what kind of exam is he called?

Well, barely, right......

But Zhang Buyi is really not interested in continuing to watch, it's boring, it's too boring.

"How does the old man know?" Wang Ling rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"You didn't give him some advice in private?" Zhang Buyi asked with a sly face.

"Humph! The old man can't afford to lose this face! Wang Ling snorted coldly at Zhang Buyi, and then said: "Besides, this is His Majesty's personal question?" Even if the old man wants to help? I can't get my hands on it! ”

Wang Ling's words are actually alluding to Zhang Buyi's don't make trouble.

I only learned the exam questions today, if Wang Ji knew the exam questions in advance and made preparations, then don't you mean that His Majesty himself leaked the exam questions?

"It's boring!" Zhang Buyi replied with a boring sentence? Then he stood there idly and watched quietly.

In addition to being able to see Wang Ji, who was still busy, he also saw a lonely ......

An hour later......

Wang Ji stopped busy? Leave the matter to the workshop, and nothing else will happen to him.

Although it stands to reason that he should have done it himself, even if he didn't do it himself? It is also necessary to be on the spot to instruct how to do it.

But what about exams right now? Don't have that chance? So you can only explain your requirements word by word? Then let the workshop do it.

After asking the reason, Wang Bu was not hungry and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Immediately ordered Wang Ji to be called to ask.

For engineering students? Drawing is mandatory.

It doesn't matter if it's standard or not, but you need to be able to draw a rough idea so that people can see what it is at a glance, and then mark the requirements and dimensions.

You can't draw a big iron rod and you have to tell people it's a flat bar.

"What questions did you choose?" Wang Ji was a little nervous, and Wang asked casually if he was not hungry, so as not to frighten people and children.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Student...... The student chose a farm tool...... "Wang Ji looked nervously at Wang Bu Hungry.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so he can't think about it so much.

So I can only think of something that is fast and has a certain meaning.

As for whether it can be used, he doesn't know.

But there is no way, in fact, from the moment he saw the exam questions, Wang Ji was ready to go back to the academy and sit in prison for another year.

It's not that the students don't work hard, it's that the teachers are too cunning.

"Oh? Tools? Wang Bu was stunned, for this answer, there is nothing to say about disappointment or disappointment, but if it is a surprise, it is actually not much.

How else can farm tools develop?

It's basically the end, and the workshop has already started to adjust the stress point for the new farming tools.

It is to make some changes to the shape of the straight plough so that the livestock can pull it lower.

Wang Bu was hungry and didn't plan to use his superpowers again, anyway, he was advanced enough, and he also wanted to observe the research ability of this group of people, so he let it be.

What farm implements are there besides plows?

Hoe?

Rake?

Or a scythe?

This thing shouldn't be thinking about making an inverted plow to come out, right?

But that thing is just a shallow ploughing, planting vegetables, sowing or something, and for ploughing, that depth is far from enough.

"Your Majesty, what the students made is a kind of farming tool used to level the land." Wang Ji hurriedly explained.

Wang Ji who announced his answer or something didn't have any psychological pressure, after all, he was the only candidate.

The emperor has asked you, and you still need to hide it at this time?

In that case, without the emperor's action, even his father could slap him to death.

Although I don't know if my design can work, but now like this, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, otherwise what else?

So Wang Ji began to introduce in detail.

"Students choose this question mainly because of lack of time, and the other one is that they do not have a complete idea, and it is impossible to make a choice within an hour, and it may be troublesome to make one."

"The reason why I chose this is because the students saw the way the people cultivated in the fields before, and found that after ploughing the ground, they often need to take a hoe or a rake to level the soil and then plough the land."

"And this work also consumes a lot of manpower and time, and in general, it takes even longer to level an acre of land than it takes to turn over an acre."

"When I was young, the students also saw the farm tools used for flat land at home, but found that they had not used them at all, and the adults said that the thing was too heavy, and it was too difficult for people to pull it, and the livestock had the energy to pull it, so it was better to turn over a few more acres of land."

"So when the students saw His Majesty's question, they thought of this question, if there is a kind of farming tool that only one or two people can easily manipulate to level the land, can it be invested in more manpower to plough the land? In this way, isn't it also considered to improve the efficiency of farming? ”

Wang Bu nodded without hunger.

That's the truth!

If you want to increase efficiency dozens or hundreds of times at once, it is simply impossible to do it, unless you enter the era of mechanization.

And now the so-called efficiency improvement is actually a little bit of manpower to pick out.

Under normal circumstances, a person can level up to one acre to one and a half acres of land in a day.

But after using tools, a person can level two or three acres a day, and this extra day can not be used for other purposes?

And so many places gathered together, even if they are dug with stones, they can almost dig out an acre of land, right?

If a household cultivates one more acre, it is an income of two stones a year.

Isn't these millions of households millions of stones an increase in income?

"Tell me about your design...... "Wang Buxing's interest in Wang Ji's design is not only because it can improve efficiency.

But Wang Ji's design is very practical.

In other words, if I need something at the moment, I will concentrate on tackling it.

In the current era, there is no need to compete with others, and solving domestic demand is the top priority!

The kind of tool that Wang Ji said is actually a tool similar to putting a ladder down and installing some iron nails underneath, but the one in his house is definitely not an iron nail installed.

Nails are used to break up entire clods of soil, but this requires someone to stand on it to use.

So you have to use an ox to pull it in front.

The improved version, inspired by wheels, uses nine arm-thick sticks on the outermost periphery, and then holds them up with racks at both ends.

Nails are fixed on wooden sticks, and then people pull them directly on the ground, and the nails on each stick are fixed in different positions, so that every place can be taken care of as much as possible.

After listening to this idea, even if Wang was not hungry, he had to give Wang Ji a thumbs up in his heart.

Although I don't know if this thing he made will work, but the mechanized tool king of the flat land in the later generations has seen it, although it is completely different from this, but the principle is similar.

As for spinning, don't think about it, it's a big deal to take two more trips.

In short, if this thing could work, he would definitely be more labor-saving than it is now, and the land that could be leveled in a day would probably have to be at least ten acres.

When he looked at Wang Ji again, Wang Bu's mood was obviously different.

Isn't this the person I've been looking for?

Although he is still very rookie, although ......

Where did so many though, a thousand words turned into a sentence.

Wang Buxing patted Wang Ji on the shoulder and encouraged: "Yes, I am optimistic about you!" ”
