Chapter 423: Contrast
Cao Ang and Sun Ce were both entangled.
This makes them very entangled.
It is undoubtedly very important for them that there is such a thing.
Moreover, if Zhang Ming has this kind of thing, and they don't, the strength will be further stretched.
Zhang Ming's territory and population are more than them, not to mention multiplying by 10, even if it is just multiplied by 2, they can be quickly thrown away.
Therefore, Cao Ang and Sun Ce can see this.
If Zhang Ming is developing rapidly, and they are still developing slowly.
A few years later, Zhang Ming will go directly south with unrivaled strength and swallow them all.
Thinking of this, they didn't seem to have any reason not to accept Zhang Ming's conditions.
Could it be that they would not come back until Zhang Ming couldn't hide it and couldn't block this technology?
At least one year, possibly two or three years will be wasted.
Even if it's a year, that's a huge loss.
"Liaohou, if we go back, how long will it take to make it? How many more did you make? ”
Sun Ce had to make one final confirmation.
"You guys, usually half a month can be made, but the quality is definitely worse than ours, and I have made 50,000 now, and it will be used on a large scale when it is cultivated next year, and we have done experiments, and the average farmer can get started in two days."
When the two of them heard this, they suddenly couldn't calm down.
The farmer can get started in two days, and one person is equal to ten people to work.
If Zhang Ming planted for two or three years, all the people would not have to worry about food, and his army would have a steady stream of grain and grass to use.
It's enough to make them scared.
If it continues to develop like this, it won't take five years for Zhang Ming to move south and swallow them all.
Sun Ce weighed it for a long time, and then said, "Liaohou, we want to go and see." ”
Zhang Ming looked at Cao Ang again and said, "If you want to go, go together, eight million per person." ”
Cao Ang has no way out, and without this new technology, they can only lag even further behind.
"Okay, two Hou Ye, go together."
Zhang Ming raised the teacup and said, "Then we will replace the wine with tea, and we will go outside the city together early tomorrow morning." ”
The decision was made, and Zhang Ming planned to take them out the next day.
The two drank tea for a while and went back.
Sun Ce was in a heavy mood when he left with Cao Ang.
Don't know what to say.
They didn't have a little joy in their hearts.
Originally, Zhang Ming's strength was stronger than them, and now it will be stronger.
When the others left, Tian Feng said: "Lord, this Quyuan plow is a ploughing artifact, which is more than ten times higher than manpower, and several times higher than the previous straight plow. ”
"They have this thing, our strength is still stronger than theirs, and the south needs someone to reclaim and develop, and with my pressure, they will work hard and develop the south well."
Zhang Ming's thinking has changed, and at this time, his strength is strong enough to dominate the entire Huaxia.
Zhang Ming was not afraid of them developing, and now his strength was stronger than all of them combined.
Moreover, he has no constraints, no family, and he can govern at will.
All the officials were slowly cultivated by him.
Zhang Ming's development speed is faster than theirs, even if they have Quyuan Plow, they are not as good as themselves.
Therefore, Zhang Ming is not afraid to let them have a Quyuan plow.
What's more, no matter what, as long as Zhang Ming starts using the Quyuan plow here, it won't be long before they will receive the news.
This stuff doesn't have much technical content and will be imitated very quickly.
The difference is that Zhang Ming has a more advanced smelting technology and can make better plowshares.
Tian Feng didn't know what to say about Zhang Ming.
He is now tomorrow, Zhang Ming is a natural candidate for emperor.
This kind of thinking has been considered holistically.
"Lord, you can make a lot of money this time."
Zhang Ming poured another cup of tea for Tian Feng and said, "No way, if you want to build a road, who told someone not to give money." ”
Tian Feng laughed helplessly, although Zhang Ming complained, he still didn't promise to give money.
He has already begun to withhold little by little, and is ready to save enough 50 million yuan to repay the money of the national debt.
In fact, the national debt is more than that, as long as you keep 50 million, plus the money of the current month, it will be enough.
Zhang Ming and the others began to order people to find copper mines again.
Gold and silver are important, but so is copper.
Ordinary people, now because there are no copper coins, causing a lot of inconvenience.
Now, the people have money and want to consume, but there are not enough copper coins, which is not conducive to economic development.
Gold and silver coins are too valuable, and many people can't spend them on a regular basis, so they need to go to the money bank to exchange them for copper coins.
Zhang Ming could not print banknotes instead of copper coins, because the denomination of copper coins was too small.
The next day, Zhang Ming personally led a team, and then took Sun Ce and Cao Ang to the manor outside.
Around the manor, all the troops are surrounded, and ordinary people can't get close to here.
Here, there are a large number of carpenters working here.
There were no blacksmiths here, the plowshares were made from somewhere else, and someone sent them.
Even if others know about a plowshare, they don't know what it's for, and they can't imitate it if they know what it's for.
"You go find thirty people, ten people to operate the curved plow, and twenty people to operate the straight plow."
When he came to the manor, Zhang Ming called someone to come.
An official, who is the section chief here, is in charge of all the work here, and immediately goes to work.
"My lord, it's already arranged."
Zhang Ming said to Sun Ce and Cao Ang: "Let's go, let's all go to the fields in person and see how the farmers cultivate the land." ”
Zhang Ming, Cao Ang and Sun Ce, and only a few other entourages, stepping on the dirt, went there.
There was no place to cultivate, two miles from here, and they walked there.
Sun Ce and Cao Ang were looking forward to it, Zhang Ming would actually take them directly to the field and show them directly.
"As long as one person operates the curved plough I newly invented, and it takes two people to operate, and the two oxen pull the straight plough that we have been using before."
Zhang Ming took them to see the Quyuan plow and the straight plow.
Two cows, become one cow, as long as the speed is the same, that is also doubled.
Cao Ang and Sun Ce looked at it very carefully.
However, for the time being they did not say anything.
"Let's go."
Zhang Ming didn't talk much nonsense, and directly let them start plowing the land.
"It really pulls." Cao Ang said.
Before, Cao Ang had been worried that there was only one cow and it couldn't pull it, but it could pull it.
That proves that this thing is really useful.
The fact that the two of them did not rush to conclusions did not prove efficiency.
"Let's go, let's look at the ground."
Zhang Ming walked over, walked to the open ground, squatted down, and picked up a handful of dirt.
"Compare and see what's the difference?" Zhang Ming said to Sun Ce and Cao Ang.
Sun Ce didn't understand a little, after all, he was from a noble background, and he preferred military affairs.
Cao Ang may not have understood it before, but now he is definitely an expert, he was ordered to go to Tuntian, personally go to plough the land, and personally go to farm.
