Chapter 181: This is a Quyuan Plow
"What do you mean, I didn't intend to make things difficult with you, why insult me!"
Da Si Nong was so angry that his whole body trembled, his face showed anger, and he pointed at Ye Qing to ask him for an explanation.
Even Ye Zhen on the side was puzzled, the coldness on his face was even colder, and his eyes were about to shoot out of the knife.
Ye Qing didn't answer, but just asked for a ruler from his subordinates, and then inserted it into the turned loose soil.
Then it shook a little until it couldn't be plugged in and ran into an obstacle.
pinched between his fingers to the position of leaving the soil, and then lifted it to face Ye Zhen and Baiguan.
"Don't play dumb riddles, if you have something to say, if you have something to say, don't make a fuss!"
An official from the household department stood up and said.
The Department of Agriculture is subordinate to the Ministry of Households.
Dasi Nong is also an official of the household department, Ye Qing just said that Da Si Nong is blind, and Da Si Nong did not manage the agricultural department well, so naturally he also accused them of not doing a good job in the household department.
"It seems that none of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty understand agriculture, which is really sad!" Ye Qing sighed, and then explained:
"See this ruler? This depth far exceeds the depth of the ordinary plough and rake. ”
Silk!
At this time, only a few officials reacted.
But most of it is still confused.
Including Zhongzhen, he still didn't understand what Ye Qing wanted to say.
Ye Qing shook his head lightly and said, "As we all know, the deeper this land is ploughed, the more beneficial it is to the growth of farming.
Therefore, in this ploughing land, I use the same method to grow farming, and the harvest layer can be raised between half a layer and one floor. ”
I see!
Only then did the crowd come to their senses.
It turns out that this is called deep ploughing.
They know that.
No wonder Ye Qing was disappointed in Si Nong.
Because Dasi Nong is in charge of agriculture, he doesn't even understand this common sense.
People are deep ploughing, but Dasi Nong didn't even see it.
No wonder the Marquis of Freedom wants to count you down.
When Da Si Nong heard this, his face turned blue and he was a little ashamed.
It's all the same when the ground is turned out, and the ghost knows if it's deep ploughing.
In order to avoid his own embarrassment, Da Sinong snorted coldly and defended: "The old man does have some eye diseases, and it is okay not to notice it for a while, but this has nothing to do with you hurting the peasants and making fun of the peasants!" Please also ask Xiaoyao Hou Mo to divert the topic! ”
The officials of the household department chimed in: "That's right! That's right! It's not uncommon for Da Si Nong to go in and not notice, so let's explain your problem! ”
"Oh! Is it? It turns out that I am not wrong, Da Si Nong is blind! Ye Qing saw the household official who echoed and said, "He is blind, and you are also blind?" ”
"You ......"
The officials of the household department are so angry that they want to beat people!
I'm blind to your sister!
"Ahem! The sixth brother should not take care of the left and right. Ye Wei coughed lightly and said to Ye Qing.
Most of the household is from a family line, and they are the people of his Hongnong Palace.
Ye Wei naturally did not allow it, Ye Qing chased and beat them fiercely, and belittled them greatly.
"Okay! For the sake of the third brother's face, I don't care if they are blind! Ye Qing closed his voice, then pointed to the plough body, and then said to Ye Zhen:
"Your Majesty, this plow is different from the traditional plough of my Great Zhou, so the next will be explained by the public loss class of my Xiaoyao Mansion."
Lose class!
This time, Ye Zhen's complexion improved slightly.
Lu Ban he had heard of it, and he was a civil engineering supervisor in Xiaoyao Mansion.
Responsible for the construction of Xiaoyao Mansion, as well as the hero building of the civil affairs workshop and the two main streets in front of it, as well as the world line.
The buildings he created were thick and durable, and they were quite ingenious.
The level of technical technology is not lower than that of the superintendent of the Ministry of Industry.
He is a skilled craftsman.
Naturally, someone reported to Ye Zhen in this regard.
Ye Zhen still knew about Lu Ban.
Lu Ban bowed to Ye Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Sixth Grass People will explain to Your Majesty." ”
Ye Zhen nodded, and Lu Ban said: "Your Majesty, please see, the plough body of this plow is curved and arc-shaped, not straight."
Therefore, its name is the curved plow, when ploughing the land, one can be deep ploughing, than the original straight plow can be ploughed down seven or eight inches more. ”
I see!
This plough is different in that it is curved, so it can be deeply cultivated.
Ye Zhen's face softened even more, and he said to Lu Ban: "Go on." ”
As an emperor, he knew that this Quyuan plough must be a new object.
Because I haven't heard of it before, after all, he has to do a show every year.
And he knew that this curved plow had this advantage, and it would inevitably replace the straight plow in the future.
It can increase the yield of half to one layer of grain for a week.
If you have more food, you can feed more people!
The value of this is self-evident.
Lu Ban continued: "Second, this plough has a plough wall, and this plough wall has the function of breaking the soil, which can break up the lumps of soil when ploughing, without having to spend effort and energy to knock it again.
Thirdly, the plough can be easily steered, so it can be flexible in any direction.
Fourth, and most importantly, although this plough is deeply cultivated, it is more labor-saving, more labor-saving than the original straight plow, can be pulled by manpower, and only one person is needed, whether it is dry land or water land......"
"Wait! You said it could be pulled by one person! Ye Zhen suddenly stopped Lu Ban, who was talking.
Seems to have caught something?
The other officials also changed color in unison.
This...... Doesn't that just now, the manual plough just now did not hurt the peasants, but was a normal ploughing action.
Lu Ban looked at Ye Qing, who smiled at him and nodded slightly.
Lu Ban replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, that's right, one person can pull it, if you change it to an ox and plough the land, I'm afraid it's as easy as driving a car, and those who are inexperienced can't even catch up with the ox!" ”
"Ahem! Even the cattle can't catch up! ”
That's an exaggeration!
Usually the plough is eager to whip the cow, let it run faster, and do not allow it to steal and play tricks.
You're afraid that the ox will run too fast and won't be able to control it.
This ploughing is really light.
But the facts are in front of us, and there is no room for denigration.
The chill on Ye Zhen's face disappeared, a trace of joy came out, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the plow and said: "Now cover it up for me again, Zhongqing open his eyes wide, and take a good look at it, and see if this plough is really as easy as Lu Ban said." ”
"Your Majesty!" Lu Ban took the order, and then explained to the two farmers who had just ploughed the field.
The two men trembled and cautiously began to handle the plow.
The Son of Heaven looked at himself ploughing the ground, and there were hundreds of officials.
This TM can be blown for the rest of my life.
At the same time, the two farmers were terrified, fearing that they would make a mistake.
But fortunately, their legs and hands did not go limp.
Nongben is their duty, do things, and be honest.
So it was easy to bring up the plow.
Under the control of the two, Qu Yuan ploughed the land easily.
Everyone can see clearly, these two people pull and push, and it is not effortless.
You know, this is dry soil for a long time.
It's not a good place with the right amount of water.
It was supposed to be a tough job, but the two did it easily.
"Good!"
After Ye Zhen saw the two of them plow a ridge, he couldn't help but applaud.
Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Laughing, Dasi Nong said to a group of officials: "Everyone, I am a minister and a great talent, do you want to see the situation of cattle ploughing, who wants to chase cattle in the back and wipe it!" ”
