Chapter 117: A strong slap in the face
On the wasteland with a relatively gentle slope, Jia Cong stood on the side of the road, below was a newly opened up piece of land, the autumn wind blew the smell of earth, the fragrance of grass, and the smell of straw burning, into the jungle and basin, there was no charm of small bridges and flowing water, Qinhuai Chu Pavilion, and celebrity relics, and the Xiucai shook their heads, which was very tasteless. It is no wonder that the laborers, the wise and the laborers, and the laborers are not good at farming.
On the contrary, a few birdsong and sheep bleating added to the taste.
Seven or eight Xiangyong took the purchased utensils on their shoulders and put them on the side of the road, and the first Xiangyong rolled up his trouser legs, wore a corrugated hat, and raised two wheels with great hands: "Jia Xiaoxianggong, the wheels in the workshop are all big, and we looked at the pegwood that we were afraid of not entering the herringbone frame, so we changed the wheels of the right size, so did it?" ”
"Make, make, size the right make." Jia Cong touched the sleek wheel, and pondered in his heart: "To put it bluntly, it is the principle of pulley, this principle was not unknown to the ancients, but it is a pity that technology is regarded as a strange skill, and if the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youzhen is not the emperor, he is also an excellent craftsman......"
Wei Wuzhi stretched his neck to take a look, smiled and said nothing, his mother was Luo Guoqi's aunt, and Wanping Luo's family was in-laws, Luo Min became his cousin in the Ministry of Officials, and he was in charge of official assessment, appointment and dismissal, promotion, and recommendation this fall, and he was very powerful, and his honor guard was because of this, the Jia clan of the noble family behind Jia Cong, and he was also a little contemptuous.
Kuang Liuhe muttered: "Pengju, Zili is really building a 'wooden cow', using utensils instead of plowing cattle, if it is effective, it does not need to be promoted by the county government, and the villagers can compete for it, this is a good thing......"
Wang Yinglin frowned and said: "Although it is very necessary for the magistrate to know some civil operations, the will of heaven is his own public opinion, and the sky listens to himself, but we must still practice the eight shares hard...... Strange tricks are just fun......"
Zhang Maocai, who watched the excitement, understood it best, and said in his heart: "Kuang Liuhe has a gentle temperament, Jia Zili is doing good things for his hometown, he is naturally grateful and happy, and Wang Yinglin is really utilitarian, and there is nothing else except power...... If the Shanhai Alliance develops and grows in the future, will his deputy alliance cause Jia Cong's displeasure? I also came in for fun, this Jia Cong is not worth helping, let's wait and see......"
At this time, Jia Cong has been instructing Xiang Yong, on both sides of a piece of land of several zhang to place a herringbone frame, the two ends of the herringbone frame are triangular, conducive to stability, Jia Cong instructed: "This kind of 'wooden cow' only needs three people, you hold the left, you hold the right one, put the roller into the pegwood on the herringbone frame, right, right, right...... The one in the middle put the long log on the two herringbone shelves......"
After the long wood was bound by ropes, Jia Congxi said: "The iron ring in the middle of the long wood is the wooden frame that holds the iron plow...... Yes, that's it...... The left and right two steadied the herringbone frame and shook the pegwood, and the one in the middle pushed the plow, and the other utensils could be concocted in the same way......"
Curious, disdainful, or disdainful, Wei Wuzhi and other talents, as the middle of the village Yong pushed the iron plough handrail, the left and right people shook the roller of the leash, they suddenly opened their eyes one after another, the village Yong who pushed the plow, not necessarily how laborious, the land was turned out of seven or eight inches.
Qian Lichang opened his mouth, stunned, and then said excitedly: "It's really a wooden cow!" What a wooden cow! Get rid of Zhuge Wuhou alive! According to Xiao Lao'er, according to Jia Xiaoxiang's law, the power of three people can be worth two cows! ”
The power of the two cows, without thinking about it, must be much stronger than the three ordinary people, and now, what Jia Cong came up with seems to be pushed by women, saving effort and cheap.
Many Xiucai were surprised, looking at Jia Cong's gaze was different, Wei Wuzhi's gloom flashed away, he was still incredulous, how could Jia Cong do anything? Is the legend of the blessing of the aura and the descent of Wenqu Star to earth true? Will this kind of divine help overcome oneself? Wei Wuzhi took a few steps back in fear.
He didn't give up, and then looked at the other three wooden oxen concocted in the same way, but the situation was without exception.
Zhang Maocai scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "This ...... This...... I seem to have seen it in some book, Zili, is this called 'Substitute Farming'? ”
"Yes, Brother Qingsong is really erudite, this kind of wooden cattle is called 'generation of farming' in history, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a wooden cow instead of a cow with wood, except for Zhuge Kongming, there are also wooden cow relics in the Tang Dynasty...... Jia Cong seemed to be dissatisfied: "But it is not the land of more than ten provinces in the country can be used, the slope is steep, too sloping, and the wooden frame cannot be stable...... Plains, basins, both men and women......"
Looking at Jia Cong's dissatisfied look, he was too modest, Wei Wuzhi looked at how it was unpleasant, like a fish in his throat and a mang's back, he resisted the urge to punch Jia Cong's immature face, and said secretly: "What are you proud of, it's just a strange and obscene skill......
Zhong Xiucai praised it once, and someone asked: "Prodigy Jia is more knowledgeable than Zhang Qingsong, since there are already ruins of the wooden cow, could it be that the ancestors have used it?" ”
It was not Jia Cong's first creation, but it could reduce people's praise and excessive decoration of Jia Cong, Wei Wuzhi spared no effort to ask later: "That's right, Zili Bo is ancient and modern, senior brother still wants to ask for advice, and there is a source for cultivating on behalf of the frame." ”
"Traces can be seen in the History of the Ming Dynasty." Jia Cong did not mince words.
The history books of the previous dynasty are generally repaired by the next dynasty, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in Jia Cong's time and space was revised by Zhang Tingyu and others of the Qing Dynasty.
Dashun's "History of the Ming Dynasty" was ordered to be revised by Emperor Ling Qianyu, and of course there were many untrue slanders against the Ming Dynasty. And Xiucai lifts people, just the first three histories must be read, a lifetime of effort spent on four books, five classics, eight shares, many people do not know the Tang Dynasty and Song ancestors, only know the high head of the sermon, it is not strange.
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "The History of the Ming Dynasty contains that during the Chenghua period, Li Yan, the governor of Shaanxi, made five kinds of wooden cattle. During the Jiajing period, Ouyang Bijin of Yunyang Mansion (ancient Huguang Province, now Hubei) also used frame farming. These two places have been vigorously promoted, and the people rely on them, which can be said to have benefited the people...... When I arrived in my dynasty, because of the war, many of the classics were burned, and they were regarded as strange and obscene techniques, but I didn't know how to use them......"
Speaking of this, Jia Cong remembered that Xu Zhenming in the Wanli period was very interested in benefiting Zhili Province in terms of paddy fields, and he could not rely on the southern Cao Yun, and the northerners could grow rice and be self-sufficient. It is a pity that once the measures are involved in politics, they are very complicated and cannot be achieved in the end.
As a modern person, industrialization and modernization naturally make Jia Cong proud. However, some of the wisdom of the ancients cannot be completely erased and deprecated, and modern people still use a lot of it. For example, the "height training platform technology" in the Andes of South America is very old, but many places in the world in the 21st century are still learning from and promoting.
"I see, Jia Zili is worthy of being a prodigy. Friendship, friendship, friendship, friendship, benefit, let's discuss it after we go back, and I want to join the Shanhai Alliance......"
"Count me in ...... too"
In the crowd, Wei Wuzhi's face turned red, and he held his forehead with his hand. Wang Yinglin, Kuang Liuhe, Zhang Maocai and You Rongyan, Jia Cong coped, Shanhai Alliance can't come one by one, there are regulations for joining the alliance, and he squeezed out a smile: "Brother Wei, Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?" But isn't it comfortable? ”
"No, no, the sun is too poisonous...... I'm afraid it's heat stroke, I'll take a step first......" Wei Wuzhi's face couldn't hold back, Jia Cong's face was too hard! Obviously, the situation is in his favor, but now the situation is completely in favor of Jia Cong, Jia Cong not only consolidated his good reputation, but also had a group of allies.
The two family members supported him, Wei Wuzhi fled with black lines on his face, he heard the snickering of Zhang Maocai and others behind him, and the cheers of the people for Jia Cong, his face became hotter and hotter.
"You wait! Let's try to see the best! Wei Wuzhi thought darkly.
