Chapter 161: The Dog's Counterattack

The little official rolled up his sleeves and began to go down the field, personally manipulating the modified straight plow.

Directly manipulated in a small open space in the backyard of the county government, the county government prepared a cow, and they had all experienced it before and understood the specific operation.

So it's not that hard to actually operate, although it's not very smooth.

"Xiancheng, it seems that it is indeed lighter than before......" The little official hesitated a little.

"Go call a few farmers!" Chen Ji was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly instructed.

For this incident, no county dares to fool around.

Can a single order from the King of Han make the counties in the territory work so hard?

Nature is impossible.

Along with the order, there were two warnings.

Those who discover and adopt will be rewarded for their merits and deeds according to the actual situation in the future.

Anyone who is derelict in his duties by the scout report shall be dismissed from office.

In addition to these two items, Wang Ting also gave a manual of guidance and suggestions, and the ones that Chen Ji is preparing now, including those that are currently using, are all prepared in advance in accordance with this manual.

Soon, several farmers who were helping out in the front yard were standing guard with boredom in a hurry.

Skillfully maneuvering the new plow, each experienced it.

"County Cheng, this plow does save some effort than the old plow, but I feel that there should be no ...... of it."

"Yes, it doesn't feel smooth when I use it, and the coulter always feels like it will fall off at any time......"

"Well, I'm ...... too"

"Well, you're done!" Chen Ji nodded with satisfaction.

This answer was not surprising, but it was not disappointing either.

The dog has been informed in advance that this is a temporary modification and there are certain problems.

For example, it's not smooth, and I feel like it's going to drop this problem, and the reason is that it's modified, and the fixed interfaces are made temporarily.

Build a new plough with a new layout, and this problem will be solved.

It is also because of this problem that these farmers who have cultivated all their lives will feel that there is no two percent.

The dog's so-called two percent is a complete new plow.

"Gather the craftsmen!" Chen Ji instructed the little official.

These were all ready-made, and even to speed things up, they simply split a new plow.

The parts that need to be changed are built directly from the raw materials, while the other parts are made from the old plough parts that have been removed.

In just one afternoon's work, a new plow was ready.

Ignoring the darkness of night, Chen Ji once again summoned several farmers and tested the new ploughs one by one.

In the end, after some testing, several farmers said that they could save almost 20% of their effort.

Chen Ji was pleasantly surprised by this result.

The dog was placed directly in the county government, and in the early morning of the next day, a team of men and horses were seconded from the county garrison, and they went to the county seat with the new plough and the dog to submit the task.

The county seat of Dangjun was originally in Suiyang, but Suiyang is not Han land at the moment, and there are not many cities in Dangjun owned by Han Realm.

Therefore, the county seat was temporarily set up in Daliang, which was the old capital of Wei.

Now the capital of the king of Wei is in Linji, less than 100 miles away from Daliang, separated by a large river, and belongs to the territory of Dongjun.

Whether the new plough is good or not, the farmer said, when it comes to the county town, the test site is larger, and the requirements are more stringent.

Dozens of farmers, dozens of cattle, and the people in Guantian outside the city experimented continuously for three days and three nights, and found that the new plough was indeed much better than the old plow, and it was also labor-saving.

After three days and three nights of high-intensity testing, there were no major problems.

So, Chen Ji and others went home, and the county government sent someone to embark on the road to the west with the new plough and the dog.

……

Inside the royal palace.

Wang is not hungry and now has a headache.

For farm tools and other things, it is really easy to identify, whether it is good or not, pull it out and try it, and the effect can be seen immediately.

But for some other things, it's not so easy to see the effect.

Listening to the reports of the two prime ministers, Wang Bu was also a little crying and laughing.

A certain county reported that a certain person in a certain township and a village under his rule offered a strategy to increase output.

It sounds quite lofty, just look at the content.

Gotcha......

Pour the manure into the tank, close the lid, and add water as you go, so that the yield can be about 10% higher than that of the surrounding area.

Of course, the king is not hungry for this method, and the fermentation process of manure is known.

But after a closer look, I realized that the usage of this era was different from that of the countryside in later generations.

The method of fermentation is not perfect, and there is no unified model, each family has its own method.

However, when I used it, I didn't find any dilution with water.

This is more uncomfortable, and if you don't add water, you can only sprinkle less, so as to avoid too much density in the same area and burn the crops.

Therefore, the technical work of fertilization is generally done by some old cultivators, and the novices go up to click and dry hard, the manure is wasted, and the land is also planted.

"Let him return to his hometown to rest, and return to Luoyang to prepare for the Guantian test before the beginning of spring, and during the test, he will be given fifty stones a year." Wang Bu was not hungry and said directly.

Of course, he knew that this was possible.

But ruling can't rely on my feelings, let alone your feelings.

When it comes to the country's agricultural development plan, it must be accurately tested and the results can only be determined after the majority of people can see the results.

Although it is very helpless, this process is still necessary.

Otherwise, it would be a quick plan now, but one day when he is gone, this kind of atmosphere will also be formed, and the country will be chaotic.

His own prudence and compromise are actually to establish the rules of the ancestral system for future generations.

"Your Majesty, the new plough has borne fruit...... "Good news came from outside the hall again.

Two days before the king was hungry he had seen the new plough, but again, he had him take it out of the city for testing.

"How?" Without waiting for Wang Bu to ask, Zhang Liang couldn't wait to ask.

"The efficiency has increased by almost three or four percent compared to before, and most importantly, now a cow can pull ......"

"Seriously???" Zhang Liang was shocked.

He always felt that something was not real.

It's not that an ox can't pull a straight plow, but staying power is a big problem, and it can't pull it at all if it can't plough a few acres of land.

Therefore, in the current cultivated land, the oxen in the prime of life pull a plough with two heads, and the other oxen pull one with three heads.

What does it mean that all of a sudden not only is the efficiency so much higher, but the number of cattle is also decreasing?

"It's true, many people are looking at it, a cow can plough ten acres of land a day, if it is two prime-aged cows, it can plough eighteen or nineteen acres a day."

At first glance, it sounds very scary, but when converted, eighteen acres is equivalent to six acres in later generations, which is still a double cow, if it is a single cow, it will be less than three acres of land when converted.

"Pure cow?" Wang Bu asked if he was not hungry.

"Pure cow!"

Hearing this answer, Wang Buxing finally smiled, things can come step by step, but this matter will definitely make the grain production of the Han Kingdom skyrocket in the coming year.

Now there are not many cows, and it is impossible to do all the work, and some villages only have one or two cows.

In order to improve the efficiency of the use of cultivated cattle, more arable land is cultivated in a limited time.

It is normal for a cow to be surrounded by several women, children or in the prime of life, so that the cow can save some effort and speed up some speed.

The cattle are only responsible for turning the ground, and the flat land behind is purely manual operation.

Therefore, in this mode, a cow in the prime of life, with two strong men, can turn over almost ten acres of land in a day.

And with the blessing of the new plough, it is basically certain that fifteen acres a day for a cow is not a problem.

"Reward! Feng ...... "The very happy Wang Bu was suddenly stunned, because the dog who modified the plough did not have a surname, in order to inspire more people, he had an idea, and said: "Feng Gouzi Doctor, 100 acres of food, give the surname Wang, Feng craftsman Tang Bu Doctor, 100 acres of food, 1......00 acres of food"
