Ma Liang first took Guan Ping to visit the seed warehouse, the seeds should have been stored by the farmers themselves, and this batch of soldiers naturally had no seeds.

Therefore, the official organization of the Lieutenant Department of the Agricultural School issued seeds, farm tools, ploughing cattle, and field houses.

The so-called seeds, of course, are full of grains.

Only good seeds can emerge.

Guan Ping doesn't understand, it's just a lively look, but Guan Ping is not stupid, he can recognize what kind of seeds it is, and the warehouse is full of rice seeds.

"This is definitely not hybrid rice, if you can make hybrid rice, it will be developed. But I don't know how hybrid rice is cultivated. It shouldn't be a hybrid between wheat and rice, right? Ha. ”

Guan Ping couldn't help but think crankily.

Guan Ping doesn't understand, but Ma Liang understands very well. Compared with Ma Tan's younger brother, Ma Liang is very pragmatic, and he has studied many aspects, including military and civil affairs.

Ma Liang also knows a lot about farming, and every spring, he has to go to the field to plant seedlings in person, not to work, but to have an experience.

Experience the people with food as the sky.

After Ma Liang was appointed by Guan Ping as the pawn farmer, he also carefully studied agricultural affairs, and he also brought several old farmers in his family with him to consult at any time.

Ma Liang grabbed a handful of seeds and said, "In the south of Jingzhou, rice is basically grown. However, in the Nanyang area, rice and wheat were planted in the past. At present, the Xinye area is mainly planted with rice, and the technology is very mature, so I chose rice as a crop. ”

Guan Ping didn't understand at all, just nodded again and again beside him.

After visiting the seed warehouse, Ma Liang took Guan Ping to the farm tool warehouse. The basic ones are hoes, plows, waterwheels, and so on.

Seeing these farm tools, Guan Ping's eyes suddenly lit up, Guan Ping is very researched in ancient times, this plow seems to be a straight plow, it seems to be the original version.

The more evolved version seems to be the Quyuan plow?

And this waterwheel? Wei Guo Ma Jun improved the waterwheel?

Guan Ping searched hard for the few stocks in his head, and finally found something useful in the corner of his head.

Guan Ping didn't care about this before.

Invented Mi's wine to help Beibei tide over the difficulties, as long as Beibei had strength before the Battle of Chibi, he instigated Beibei to attack Xiangyang in the south.

All according to Jingzhou, West Tu Bashu, North Mou Liangzhou. Solving some problems of Dad, Zhang Laosan, and others is what Guan Ping has to do.

After doing these things, Guan Ping thought that the fate of Shu Han would never be as miserable as in history.

You can be a prince of Jingzhou with peace of mind.

The prepared thighs are too thick, so just do it. But now that his stinky father is in power, the situation is more than ten times more sinister, everything has to be careful, even if it is an extra soldier, it is good.

Guan Ping only then became concerned about agriculture.

"Why does Shinno use a water wheel??? Isn't this a tool for transporting water from a low place to a high place? The Shinno water system is well developed, and there is a small river nearby, which can be dug to divert water. ”

Guan Ping asked without understanding.

"Lord Lieutenant doesn't know that the terrain of Xinye is very good. Therefore, the construction of new fields in the city can prevent the enemy army from flooding the city with water. The terrain of our field is also relatively high, and of course the aqueduct has to be dug, but it can't attract water. Water trucks are needed to divert water. In addition, the rice fields need to be irrigated from time to time, so it is much easier to use water trucks. ”

Ma Liang knew this very well and explained.

"I see." Guan Ping touched his chin and learned.

This is also the benefit of crossing, if you don't cross, who will learn this knowledge without permission.

Immediately, Guan Ping said to Ma Liang: "Take out a waterwheel and put a plow in the front yard." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ma Liang was very strange, so he asked.

"Look into it and see if you can improve one or two." Guan Ping explained.

Ma Liang has a straightforward personality, although he and Guan Ping are bosses and subordinates, they are friends in private. Then he said with a straight smile: "My lord is a little overthinking, the plough and the waterwheel are the wisdom of the craftsmen for thousands of years, how can it be said that the improvement is improved?" ”

"It's a matter of people, maybe it can be improved??? If it were easier for farmers to farm, one person could have planted ten acres of land, but perhaps five acres could have grown. At present, there are more than 100,000 peasants in Xinye, and if these tools are improved, perhaps 100,000 peasants can be compared to 200,000, which is very profitable. ”

Friend, Guan Ping was not angry when he was despised, and said with a smile.

Ma Liang shook his head, but he still didn't believe that Guan Ping could invent a new plow and waterwheel, but he didn't care.

Anyway, this captain has nothing to do, and it's okay to find something, anyway, it's his wisdom and strength, not mine.

So Ma Liang happily asked the staff in charge of the warehouse to go to the front yard with a waterwheel and a plow. Guan Ping instructed Ding Feng to ride his horse to Xinye, find a blacksmith named Ma Sheng, and ask Ma Sheng to bring ten skilled carpenters over.

It was the blacksmith who helped him build the horseshoe and stirrup, looking at the five big and three thick, like a strong and brainless person, but actually a very smart blacksmith.

Guan Ping remembered him.

After giving the order, Guan Ping asked Ma Liang to go busily, and he himself waited for Ma Sheng and others to arrive under the eaves of the front yard.

In the past, when Liu Bei was here, it was very convenient to do anything, let alone now. Not long after Ding Feng went to Xinye, he came with Ma Sheng and ten carpenters.

"Little Prince."

Ma Sheng took ten carpenters and cautiously bowed to Guan Ping.

I was a little uneasy, and I didn't know what this little prince was looking for them.

In the past, Ma Sheng was called General Guan Ping, and the little general was already a big man, not to mention that he has become a "prince" now.

Guan Ping could see the nervousness of these craftsmen, so he was relieved: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing for me to call you here." It's a good thing. You will work with me from now on, and I will pay you double your wages. ”

Guan Ping gave the sweetness first, these blacksmiths and craftsmen were all refreshed when they heard this, not to mention that they were uneasy, they were all happy.

After that, Guan Ping picked up the straight plow with a smile and said: "This plow, I want to change this straight plow to be curved like this, and here, here." Can you see if it works? ”

The plough has an iron part and a wooden part. Both blacksmiths and carpenters have to make ploughs, so they know better. Ma Sheng cautiously asked, "Little Junhou, why do you want to make improvements here?" ”

"I think the straight plough is too bulky and inflexible, not only is it difficult to turn, but the depth of the plough cannot be controlled. I designed it like this, in order to save manpower, animal power, and improve the efficiency of ploughing. What I said may not be all right, you follow my train of thought, study it carefully, and create a good plow. If you can improve successfully, you can get a gold reward for each person. ”

Guan Ping continued to increase his chips and encouraged.

"No." When Ma Sheng and the others heard this, they only felt that the wealth was rushing to their faces, although they didn't know if this thing could work, so let's talk about it first.

"If you come back to this waterwheel, I think it's too inefficient, and making such improvements can improve efficiency. You also follow my line of thought, and if you can improve successfully, you will be rewarded with another gold each. ”

Guan Ping smiled and took Ma Sheng and the others to the waterwheel, gestured, and said what he knew, in fact, Guan Ping knew very little, just to provide ideas.

"No."

Ma Sheng and the others still didn't know if this design would work, but when they heard that there was a reward, they hurriedly responded and said it again.

Guan Ping is not an engineering dog, and his knowledge reserves are ordinary. He can know the difference between the straight plow and the curved plow, and know that Ma Jun of the Three Kingdoms has improved the waterwheel, which is very good.

It is impossible for him to do it himself, and it is better to leave professional things to professional talents.

After Guan Ping instructed Ma Sheng and the others, he immediately arranged the residence of Ma Sheng and the others, and immediately opened double the salary, with all food and lodging.

If you can really research these two good production tools, let alone make gold, the calculation is to send each of them a beautiful woman, Guan Ping will also be very happy.

Guan Ping doesn't know how to farm, so there is not much he can help. It's a great way to help improve the production tool.

In fact, Guan Ping doesn't need to stay, just wait for Ma Sheng and others to improve the plow and waterwheel, and then come and see the effect.

But Guan Ping didn't have anything to do anyway, so he stayed.

However, Guan Ping has nothing to do when he stays, Ma Liang is too capable, the mobilization of military materials, seeds, farm tools, acres of fields, digging canals or something.

And so on, Ma Liang is all single-handed. These 5,000 people, plus Guan Ping's army of more than 1,200 people, a total of 7,000 people, under his hands, are like one person.

Well-organized management.

A big talent is a big talent, two words.

Cattle ×.

Anyway, Guan Ping has nothing to do, and he has a stupid strength. Together with Ding Feng and Ding Feng, the two brothers took up three big shovels and helped dig the canal together.

Guan Ping was dressed in the brown clothes of the common people, barefoot, carrying a shovel and digging a canal with the soldiers. It is said to be excavating, but it is actually trimming.

This land is now wasteland, and it has been abandoned for many years. But before the Yellow Turban broke out, it was still a fertile field.

There are ready-made canals, but the canals are left untended and many are buried. It doesn't take much effort to clean it up now.

Originally, Ma Liang didn't come here to do it himself, but Guan Ping carried a shovel to help, so he also came. However, Ma Liang couldn't do farm work, so he just watched from the sidelines.

Ma Liang didn't do farm work, but he had a lot of sorrow and sighed: "I heard my father say that before the Yellow Turban, this area of Nanyang was very prosperous, with millions of people, millions of people. Now the entire north is probably only a few million people. The world is boiling, and wars are raging, hey. ”

Guan Ping glanced at Ma Liang and understood a little.

The literati in the Three Kingdoms are actually very romantic. Especially those who are capable, many big people are recorded in the history books and have a heart of worrying about the world.

There is something going on in the world, and our generation should follow the Lord and relieve the people from fire and water.

is Sima Yi, and the history books also record, "I have a heart to worry about the world." ”

Ma Liangbian was also a romantic literati.

"Rest assured, as long as the world is unified. Prosperity will slowly return. Guan Ping comforted.
