Zhu Youxiao fooled King Fu and King Shu into confusion, and the two decided to spend a sum of money to buy a few for later use. However, Zhu Youxiao said that the first batch of 20 'iron bulls' was bought at his own expense, and each imperial uncle sent ten units home for autumn ploughing, and by the way, he sent a few technicians to help the young and strong employees at home learn to drive and maintain.

Zhu Youxiao's approach made King Fu and King Shu very grateful, and without saying a word, everyone knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to make much money with the pot camel machine at the beginning, the development of any new thing is not smooth sailing, and there is a process of adaptation to it. If Zhu Youxiao sells this batch of pot camel machines to the two imperial uncles regardless of it, and lets them operate it themselves, it is estimated that it will take less than three days to supply it to watch, why? It's broken. Now Zhu Youxiao not only sent the pot camel machine in vain, but also sent the driver, with vulnerable parts, once there is a problem, it can be solved on the spot, as long as it can be used smoothly in the home of the two princes in an autumn ploughing season, by the way to train a group of drivers, maintenance personnel, there is no other landlord to buy, to the winter leisure time, and then sell out a batch on credit, train a large number of driving, maintenance personnel, to next year's spring ploughing will form a rush to buy the pot camel machine situation.

Zhu Youxiao's sales means belong to modern guided consumption, by showing people the powerful ability of the camel machine, arousing some people's desire to buy, coupled with good after-sales service, this is not worried that this kind of camel machine can not be sold, and then triggering an industrial revolution. Twenty people were transferred from the pot camel machine factory, and some vulnerable parts were equipped, and King Fu and King Shu took them back to their respective fiefdoms.

King Fu's fief is relatively close, it took less than ten days to rush to the fief, and now it is just the harvest of the autumn crops, according to the original plan to prepare the land for a season, to the spring and then cultivate, as for the winter wheat, King Fu generally does not plant much, because he has too much land, even if he employs a large number of long-term laborers, he can not cultivate all the land. Now, the use of the pot camel machine with a special plough, as soon as you enter the scene, those long-term workers are startled, I have never seen these things, and then look at this pot camel machine will also plough the land, and this pot camel machine ploughing is much faster than using the old ox to plough the land.

Generally speaking, two to three acres of land can be cultivated a day with an old ox, and twenty acres a day can be cultivated with a horse, but even King Fu cannot raise a large number of mules and horses to cultivate the land. Because there were originally fewer mules and horses in the Central Plains, not to mention that the country needed cavalry, and the common people were not allowed to raise more mules and horses by themselves. For the princes in various places, the Ming Dynasty has been very strict since the Yan King seized the heir, that is, he has enough ability, and he does not dare to raise horses, but if he raises more horses, he will give you a rebellion, and it will be completely finished. So in this day and age, there were very few places where horses were really used to plow the land.

Now King Fu led the pot camel machine into the field, and the drivers passed Zhu Youxiao's advice before coming, driving at a moderate speed, don't use the pot camel machine on the first day, but just like that, it also surprised the long-term workers, and the average one pot camel machine actually cultivated forty acres of land in one day, which was twice as fast as using mules and horses, and ten pot camel machines ploughed 400 acres of land a day.

King Fu calculated, as long as it takes ten days to plough his own land down to 4,000 acres, this is all extra, how much should be harvested when this is planted into wheat? Originally, King Fu had more land, but he learned like King Shu, half of his 20,000 hectares of land was sold, and the money was invested in Tenglong Bank, and he couldn't help it, but he was the nearest descendant of the prince, and he had to be an example if he was distressed! The next day, King Fu found that the pot camel machine had cultivated 5,000 acres, and it turned out that these drivers were proficient in driving, and the efficiency naturally improved a lot.

In short, after a cultivation season, nearly one-third of the land of King Fu and King Shu was planted with wheat, and the rest of the land was arranged by Zhu Youxiao, and all of them were ploughed in winter, and the land was sun-dried, preparing to plant half of castor beans and half of soybeans in the spring of the next year. The reason for planting castor beans is naturally the need for castor oil, think about it, if there are endless pots and camel machines running all over the ground in the future, there will be no lubricating oil and a fart! This is called advanced consciousness, of course, King Fu doesn't understand, and he can't stop Zhu Youxiao from knowing. Planting soybeans is better understood, the loess that has been cultivated for thousands of years has long been a little barren, and the rhizobia of soybeans can adsorb nitrogen in the air, so that the loess can be slowly fertilized, not to mention that soybeans themselves are very good food, but the yield is not too high.

After the problem of the pot camel machine was solved, Zhu Youxiao also considered other uses of the steam engine, such as the silk reeling machine, the loom, the semi-mechanized machine of carpentry for making furniture, etc., all need to be slowly developed and promoted.

Zhu Youxiao's plan is to promote the pot camel machine on the territory of Fuwang in Henan Province on an experimental basis this year, and develop it in the vast area of Shandong next year. After all, Shandong is the place where they experiment with the new deal, especially the construction and education problems at the county level in Shandong are more sufficient, low-level officials have experience in dealing with the people, coupled with a relatively high literacy rate, this kind of pot camel machine is relatively simple agricultural machinery should not have too many problems, even if there are some problems, he is relatively close to Beijing, the problem will be reflected quickly, and it is very beneficial to improve the performance of the pot camel machine. For this reason, Zhu Youxiao also plans to implement another way of using it in Shandong, that is, to organize a pot camel machine ploughing team, mainly to help landlords with a lot of land to cultivate land, and by the way, let the students of Daming Technical School personally go to the field to understand some of the actual situation in Shandong, and reflect that they are making certain plans after returning.

As for the reason for this, Zhu Youxiao thinks about it this way, the most basic need of people is the problem of food and clothing. In fact, the most critical reason why there is a world of colonization in Europe may be that there is not enough to eat, and we must find the most food that can be produced to meet the growing population of the country. Before the advent of chemical fertilizers, there were not many countries in the world that could meet food needs, and the yield of grain per mu was pitiful. According to the data, in the Qing Dynasty, the main rice producing areas in the south were planted in the south, and the total annual output of one mu of land was between 350 and 420 catties, and the crops in the northern dryland were not more than 106 catties, which means that if you want to be fed and clothed, the main rice producing areas in the south should have at least one mu of water per person, and the northern dryland needs five acres, and the more barren places need to plant more land. For Europe at this time, it is estimated that the situation is similar, especially in the colder parts of northern Europe, where the situation may be better.

Zhu Youxiao's goal is to let the people of the Ming Dynasty eat three meals a day, each meal can be full, and every other day they have to eat some meat food, which must have enough land to feed these people, to do this, someone has to open up the territory, Europeans can do this, why can't we do this in the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Youxiao wanted to help the landlords plough the land in the countryside and idle the peasants, in addition to organizing domestic immigration, but also to organize colonization abroad to expand the living space of the Chinese nation. The reason why the United States is strong is that it has a lot of room for survival and a lot of resources under its control.
