Dipping the carving knife in some water, Liu Yi looked at the long wooden stick in front of him, but he didn't know how to start for a while, and he put it down a little helplessly for a long time, he wanted to make a quyuan plow, but there was no prototype, he was a child who grew up in the city, that is, he used to occasionally follow his parents back to the village to visit relatives, and he saw mostly some hoes, rakes and other farm tools, plows and other things, for him, it seemed to be something of another dimension.

Originally, I thought that it would not be difficult to make improvements on the basis of the straight plow, but now when I really want to do it, I find that I don't know what to do.

According to the purpose, the curved plough should be more convenient on the basis of the straight plow, smart, the function of the straight plough is actually good, but the operation, it is not convenient, and too bulky, a person can not manipulate, generally need animal power to pull, and the steering is difficult.

In this case, the Quyuan plow, as a civilization that can run through thousands of years after the straight plow, can still be used in modern times, it must be more flexible, can be operated flexibly, rotate freely, and is not too laborious, otherwise what is it to make?

Liu Yi came up with several plans, and the operation is indeed flexible, but it is not suitable for promotion, the internal organs are too complex, it is easy to wear out, and the most important thing is that the cost is higher than that of the straight plow, which does not meet the requirements of promotion, so these days, Liu Yi has been thinking about this problem.

The start of the battle of Chibi is already a sure thing, next, what to consider is not war, but recuperation, in the era of farming, food is also an important criterion to determine the upper limit of the population, Jingxiang, Yizhou is not serious, these two states are the land of grain production, but Liu Yi wants to make the population of these two places to an explosive growth, in this way, with today's cultivation standards, in fact, the upper limit is limited.

If you want industry to rise, the most important premise is to upgrade agriculture, and a large number of surplus labor force will appear in order to be qualified to promote the development of industry.

In fact, the Han Dynasty was not as backward as imagined, in the Western Han Dynasty, the people had begun to know how to use manure to promote crop production and increase grain production.

Curved plough and seeding machine now have prototypes, and on this basis to improve, it can't be too complicated, and things must be able to be used, and the efficiency should be higher than the original straight plough and cocoon car.

In the end, after pulling a few grooves and assembling the parts, Liu Yi unconsciously set up a mechanism, and finally threw the semi-finished product aside.

It's not that he can't do it, what he wants is something practical and that can be widely used, and the operation can't be too complicated, so that the tricks and complex tricks can't be used on this, like a hoe, ordinary craftsmen and even ordinary people can make it themselves, and this is not the time to show their ability.

"What is Bo Yuan doing these days?" Liu Bei came to Liu Yi's side, looked curiously at the unassembled parts on the ground, and wondered.

"A new plow." Liu Yi didn't hide it, and said his thoughts: "After this battle, if Uncle Huang can get the four counties of Jingnan, it can be regarded as a foothold, the population of the four counties of Jingnan is sparse, not enough for the foundation, but these four counties, in Yi's view, have quite potential, I hope to be able to make a more convenient plow, so that the people can not be forced by hunger and cold, better multiply, but it's a pity......"

Liu Bei glanced at the messy parts and semi-finished products on the ground, and said with relief: "It's a good thing that Bo Yuan can have the world in mind, but there is no need to rush such things." ”

The world is in turmoil, and people's livelihood is very important, but at this time, Liu Bei is more concerned about military ability.

"Uncle Huang doesn't understand, if this plough can be completed, then based on today's population, the people will no longer have to worry about hunger and cold, and they can feed more people." Liu Yi shook his head.

If you look at it from the map, whether it is Jiangdong or the later Shu Han, in fact, in terms of area, it is not much smaller than Cao Cao's territory, but why is it said that Cao Cao has already won two of the three parts of the world?

It is because the most densely populated prefectures and counties in the entire Han Dynasty are basically under the rule of Cao Cao, don't look at Yanzhou, which is not a big place, but the population is the largest, throughout the history of China, the political culture is basically in the Central Plains to radiate around, to the Yellow River to the south of the export, the population distribution also follows this law.

Liu Yi is not thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao now, but how to develop the population, use his own ability, and develop this south, although the population is not comparable, but in terms of resources, this side is actually not worse than Cao Cao, but no one is willing to spend effort to develop.

Maybe judging from today's situation, Zhuge Liang's Longzhong is not wrong, but from the perspective of the entire nation, Longzhong is not necessarily a good thing, it can only be said that the perspective of the station is different, and the things seen are also different.

Wuhu Chaohua is a thorn in the bucket for Liu Yi, and he doesn't want that to happen, so after stabilization, he first thinks about how to develop people's livelihood instead of war.

But Liu Bei obviously didn't think about this problem, or rather, there are not many people who will consider this issue today, after all, even if the world falls apart, those Hu people outside the Saiwai do not have much deterrent power for the Han people, and they are not even regarded as a threat, so seeing Liu Yi studying this thing, Liu Bei can't say disappointed, but he doesn't have too many expectations, and now he hopes that Liu Yi can make some powerful war weapon to help him conquer the city, as for the people's livelihood, it has been like this for thousands of years, I can't say that I don't pay attention to it, but I just don't think there will be much development.

Liu Yi thought about it, found a piece of paper, put it on the table board he made, and sketched it with a pen, Qu Yuan plough he had already made, but the mechanism was too complicated, and he was ready to streamline those complex mechanisms step by step, to the extent that ordinary craftsmen could also do it.

"It's ...... Cai Hou paper? Liu Bei glanced at the paper that Liu Yi had laid on the table with some curiosity, and asked casually.

Caihou paper is not too popular, although convenient, but easy to damage, not as convenient as bamboo slips.

"Well, I have studied Cai Hou paper recently, and Yi has some ideas, if he can succeed, he can help Uncle Huang win the heart of the world's cold warriors one day." Liu Yi nodded, in fact, since there is paper, there are already conditions for printing, movable type printing does not have to be in a hurry, and there is no need for it, but rubbing is no problem, the technical difficulty is not high, but the requirements for ink are higher.

It's just that if you make it, how much impact will it have, whether you will be implicated, Liu Yi doesn't know, he is going to wait for this period of time, after stabilizing, to discuss with Zhuge Liang, this is an innovation that subverts the monopoly of knowledge, if you don't make a move, you will be quick and ruthless, so the timing is quite important.

At this time, Liu Yi couldn't see it, so he wanted to ask Zhuge Liang to take a look and try to eliminate the factors that were unfavorable to him.

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was very interested in this: "Can Bo Yuan elaborate?" ”

"Uncle Huang, what's wrong with looking at these words?" Liu Yi flipped through the ruin-like things beside him for a long time, and turned out a few words and handed them to Liu Bei, which was his experiment, and he made a rubbing plate rubbing.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, looked down, the handwriting was neat, but it was only decent, at least in calligraphy, Liu Yi was not outstanding.

"Analects?" Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.

"Uncle Huang, look down." Liu Yi nodded: "The content is not important. ”

"Oh." Liu Bei lowered his head and continued to flip through, the second page was still the Analects, Liu Bei glanced at Liu Yi, a little puzzled, and continued to turn back, still the Analects.

His brows gradually furrowed, and he showed himself what the Analects meant.

Content doesn't matter? Liu Bei looked through it again, but he didn't see anything why, except that the handwriting was getting lighter and lighter, there was no difference, and even every word seemed to be exactly the same, which was ...... How can it be?

Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Yi, and said with some uncertainty: "Bo Yuan, how come the words on these papers are exactly the same?" ”

This is no longer a question of whether the handwriting is written by the same person, but in addition to the different shades of ink, the shape of the characters and the distance between the characters are almost the same.

Liu Yi didn't answer, but after rummaging through a pile of semi-finished products for a while, he found a black wooden board that was smeared with ink, found another piece of paper, quickly smeared the wooden board with a brush, spread the paper on the wooden board, and then took it off and handed it to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang will take a look at this again." ”

Liu Bei took it, carefully compared, it was exactly the same as the previous ones, this time, Liu Bei knew how Liu Yi made it, and said with some hesitation: "What's the use of this?" ”

"I can't tell." Liu Yi shook his head helplessly and said: "This matter, let's wait for Kong Ming to come back and then discuss, although the rubbing has been made at the moment, but if the rubbing is made, these inks are easy to dry, and they can't be reprinted after printing a few pages, so we have to find something more suitable to replace the ink. ”

Liu Bei couldn't get around the bend for a while, nodded silently, although he didn't figure it out, but he seemed to understand a little, seeing Liu Yi's expression was unprecedentedly serious, he solemnly put the pages into his arms and said to Liu Yi: "Kong Ming just came with the news, before Jiazi Day, send those hundred fast boats to Chaisang." ”

"It's ready, ready to be delivered." When Liu Yi heard this, his eyes lit up, Jiazi Day, that is, November 20th, from now, there are only ten days left, it seems that the battle of Chibi has come to an end, and said to Liu Bei: "Then Kong Ming should also ask the imperial uncle to prepare to pursue Cao Jun?" ”

"Not bad." Liu Bei nodded.

"In my opinion, it is important to pursue Cao Cao's rout, but the Jingxiang soldiers in the water village, the lord should also go to surrender as soon as possible, at least give them a meaning that we are willing to accept them, once Cao's army is defeated, if these Jingxiang soldiers and horses want to surrender, they will choose our army first!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Bo Yuan said the same." Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Uncle Huang, remember that it was Uncle Huang who surrendered the Jingxiang Water Army, not the son Liu Qi." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded silently, he knew what this meant.
