Chapter 364: Zhao Dan's Agricultural Killer (First Update)
On the carriage back to the palace, Zhao Dan said to Zhao Heng beside him: "Heng'er, you have to remember that although the country of Zhao is ruled by our Zhao family, these people are the real foundation of the society.
You may sacrifice their welfare to a certain extent for the sake of the development of the country, but you must remember that it is essential for a ruler to ensure their survival in this world under all circumstances. ”
Zhao Heng nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly asked, "Father, if these people can't survive, what will happen?" ”
Zhao Dan smiled, patted Zhao Heng's shoulder, and said, "My father once heard such a sentence: 'The king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat.'" 'Heng'er, you can think about the meaning of this sentence. ”
Zhao Dan was not in a hurry to tell all the things in his mind to the eldest son in front of him, because in Zhao Dan's opinion, what others tell you is often not as impressive as experiencing it yourself and thinking about it.
Let's take puppy love, for example. It is said that early love is young and will affect learning, but no matter how hard parents talk about it, the young post-80s and 90s generations will still devote themselves to the vigorous early love without hesitation.
Then when these post-8090s become parents, they will tell their children bitterly: "Children, early love is not good, it will affect learning......"
In the long road of life, some nails must be stepped on, touched, and sharpened by oneself before they can finally get ahead.
In fact, Zhao Dan already had an exercise plan for Zhao Heng in his heart, but in view of Zhao Heng's current age, he has not yet started to implement it.
Since Zhao Heng still had schoolwork, this short trip out of the palace came to an end.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Dan was busy in the side hall of Longtai for an afternoon, and then summoned Mi Xian: "Go, find a few carpenters and blacksmiths." ”
"Carpenter, blacksmith?" Mixian was obviously a little puzzled by Zhao Dan's order, but he still faithfully carried out this order.
About an hour later, several craftsmen walked in front of Zhao Dan under the leadership of the guards, and knelt down to Zhao Dan with a puff: "I've seen the king!" ”
These carpenters and blacksmiths looked dark-skinned, lean and lean, with thick calluses on their hands, and most of them were over thirty years old, and some of them should be forty or fifty years old.
In general, the image of these craftsmen is really not much different from the migrant workers of later generations that Zhao Dan saw before he crossed over.
Zhao Dan looked at the few craftsmen in front of him who were dressed plainly, and there was still a lot of dust and wood smell on their bodies, and a smile appeared on his face: "Let's be polite." ”
After hearing Zhao Dan's words, these craftsmen hurriedly stood up, and one of them almost knocked down his companion because he was too nervous.
Zhao Dan smiled and beckoned to the craftsmen, and said, "You and the others come over and take a look at the drawing that the widow just got." ”
Under Zhao Dan's repeated orders, the craftsmen finally shrank their heads and came to Zhao Dan's table and looked at the drawings on Zhao Dan's table.
At the top of this drawing, there are three very conspicuous big characters - Qu Yuan Plough.
For Quyuan plow, Zhao Dan is no stranger to it.
You must know that before the crossing, Zhao Dan was originally a college student village official, and he had worked in a poor village in a national-level poverty-stricken county for three years.
It is in these three years of life experience that Zhao Dan, who was originally born in the city, has changed from a city boy who is not diligent in all fours and does not distinguish between grains and grains to a small expert in farming who is quite familiar with farm work, and is even more familiar with the artifact of Quyuan plow.
After all, after you have practiced something five or six times, you will always be familiar with it, won't you?
In recorded history, such a thing as Quyuan plough should have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and then quickly swept the entire land of China, until the Qing Dynasty and even in some poor places in China in the 21st century.
What's even more amazing is that since the appearance of the curved plough until it was completely replaced by mechanization, its shape and structure have hardly changed much, but the material has become better and more durable with the passage of time and the progress of technology.
It was precisely because of today's trip to the fields that I saw the super simple version of the old man of Zhao Guo used by the old man of Zhao Guo that Zhao Dan, who had always been obsessed with fighting for hegemony, suddenly remembered, it turned out that there was such an inconspicuous thing in his head in the future, but now this era is definitely a super killer that can be called black technology.
Several craftsmen were still a little afraid of Zhao Dan at first, but looking at the Quyuan plough drawing on the table, they slowly became fascinated.
You must know that these craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, one or two have ancestral craftsmanship, and needless to say, the craftsmen found by Mixian are naturally the most outstanding craftsmen in the Zhao Kingdom, both in terms of craftsmanship and vision.
This is because these craftsmen are people who know the goods, so they soon see the extraordinary things about this curved plow.
Quyuan plough has a total of ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, press the iron, the forehead, plow arrow, plow wheel, plow tip, plow evaluation, plough building and plow plate composition, the plow frame is small and light, very convenient to turn around and turn, can greatly save people and livestock in the ploughing time to spend the effort.
Not only that, as long as the three parts of the plough evaluation, plough arrow and plough construction can be operated properly, then it can be both deep ploughing and shallow ploughing, which is perfectly adapted to different cultivated land conditions such as upper field, middle field and lower field, and is convenient for intensive cultivation.
In addition to this, the quyuan plough even gives people a sense of beauty.
Generally speaking, the closer to the peak of craftsmanship, the more beautiful it is.
For example, the supercars that have fascinated countless men and women in later generations not only have a strong heart, but also meet the aerodynamic power while pulling the wind from the perspective of appearance, which can be said to have achieved the harmony and unity of science and beauty.
Looking at it, several craftsmen were completely addicted, and one by one they put their heads in front of the table, staring at the drawing in front of them without a moment's notice, and their mouths kept letting out a sound of admiration.
Zhao Dan didn't interrupt them, just stood there with a smile on his face, letting these craftsmen observe to their heart's content.
It took half an hour for the craftsmen to finally get rid of the shock of this drawing.
One of the eldest craftsmen, whose temples were already a little gray, said to Zhao Dan with a trembling voice: "Dare to ask the king, where did this drawing come from?" ”
Zhao Dan said with a smile: "This drawing is presented to the widow by a person who claims to be the successor of the public loss class. ”
The public loss class, that is, the famous Luban.
After all, these years have paid attention to a farmer and businessman, and the craftsman is the "worker" who belongs to it.
For a long time, the profession of craftsman has been regarded by scholars as a relatively lowly and noble job only than a businessman, and inventing this kind of thing as Zhao Dan will definitely be criticized for not doing a proper job.
But if this drawing is taken out in the name of the master craftsman Lu Ban, it will not only be able to block the mouth of the world, but also find a justifiable reason for the large-scale promotion of Quyuan plow.
"Losing class?" The old craftsman's eyes lit up when he heard this name, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder, no wonder, this thing is so exquisite, although there is only one drawing, but it is definitely far better than all the people in the world today, and indeed only a master like Gong Yi Ban can invent it." ”
The other craftsmen also nodded their heads when they heard this, and they gave a lot of praise to the ancestor of the public loss class.
Zhao Dan held back the smile in his heart and said to the old craftsman in front of him: "Can you make the curved plough on this drawing?" ”
The old craftsman smiled and said confidently: "Please rest assured, before sunset tomorrow, the king will definitely be able to see the real thing of this curved plow!" ”
