Chapter 335: Improving the Iron Plow

The sunrise and sunset are undoubtedly a true portrayal of the peasants in the feudal era. Since ancient times, poems of pity for the hard work of peasants have also emerged one after another. The hard work of farming, Lu Bu did not have much experience in his previous life, at that time he had already entered a modern society, even in a troubled country, there was still a food crisis more or less, but in terms of local areas. But compared to this era, the people of that era were so happy. People who have not lived in this era do not know the industriousness of farming and the preciousness of food. It is also difficult to understand why there is a bipolar world where Zhumen wine and meat stink and there are frozen bones on the road. The luxurious life of the people in the upper class and the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the people in the lower class have created the characteristics of the feudal era.

Some people are naturally noble, their bodies are not diligent, and they do not distinguish between grains, but they can still eat big fish and meat. But some people work hard for the four seasons from morning to night, but it is very likely that they will only get some chaff.

At this time, Lu Bu stood on the bank of this field, watching Lu Lingqi in the field holding the iron plough gritting his teeth and walking hard.

It was getting late, and many of the people who watched from the shore walked away. Jia Xu looked up at the sky, and then at Lu Lingqi, who was weak in the field, a little unbearable, and advised Lu Bu, "The lord is getting late this day, let's let the young lady go back." Miss's small body, what if she is tired? ”

This is a matter of farming, but this is manual work. So this is why men are the pillars of a family, and only men have the physical strength to do this kind of physical work! And women are delicate, and if they cultivate such physical work, it will be very difficult. In Jia Xu's eyes, Lu Lingqi, as Lu Bu's daughter, is a golden baby, how can she be able to do such rough work? Even in ordinary families, it is not the turn of women to farm.

Jia Xu's advice made Lu Bu also nod lightly, Lu Lingqi's struggling appearance, how could he, a father, not feel distressed? It's still his daughter after all! It's just that Lu Bu thought that it would be beneficial for Lu Lingqi to know more about the suffering of the people.

"Lingqi!"

Lu Bu called out to Lu Lingqi!

Lu Lingqi glanced sideways at her father, but she hadn't put down the iron plow in her hand. Even if it is sweating like rain, Lu Lingqi also has a kind of persistence! That's to fight for a breath! What everyone thinks she can't do, she just wants to do it for everyone......

The iron plough cultivated in the Han Dynasty is a tongue-shaped ploughshare, the ploughshare is tongue-shaped trapezoidal, more than 30 centimeters long, about 30 centimeters wide, its weight is generally seven or eight kilograms, and there are larger giant large ploughshares, the lightest is about nine kilograms, and the heaviest can reach fifteen kilograms. Lu Lingqi was holding the iron plow, and its weight was about eight or nine kilograms. These weights are not too heavy for Lu Lingqi, and her strength is not small, and she can also wield dozens of catties of weapons. However, ploughing is not only about physical strength, but also about skill.

It's like holding the iron plow, you have to hold it steady, and you have to drive the old ox in front of you to renovate the soil below, and the iron plow is stuck in the soil, which is not simple. Lu Lingqi's movements, compared to Lu Bulai, are still a little clumsy, under the gaze of many people, Lu Lingqi drove the old cow forward, after walking a straight line, it turned around, but at this time Lu Lingqi's feet did not stand firm, plus the iron plough was difficult, quite difficult, the whole body leaned forward, and he was about to fall into the mud.

"Lingqi!"

Lu Bu's footsteps unconsciously took half a step forward, and his face was a little worried! Under his gaze, I saw that Lu Lingqi, who was about to fall, did not fall, and barely stabilized his figure!

"Daddy, I'm fine!"

Lu Lingqi, who almost fell, breathed a sigh of relief, continued to hold the iron plow, and waved his arm to Lu Bu on the shore, revealing a smile.

"This little girl ......"

Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lu Lingqi, who was still walking awkwardly, and smiled lightly, and then turned his eyes to the iron plough that Lu Lingqi was holding. The iron plough of the Han Dynasty was a long straight plough, which was quite difficult to lift the soil, and it was not flexible and convenient at all. When Lu Bu was plowing, he felt it. It's just that Lu Bu's strength is bigger, so he didn't care. Now that Lu Lingqi has such a scene again, Lu Bu can't help but think a little. Looked sideways at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, do you think this iron plough can be improved by a craftsman?" This iron plough is heavy and inflexible, and it is extremely difficult to lift the soil and turn the direction, and if it is in a mountainous and hilly area, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn around, but it is not easy......"

Lu Bu, who has experienced modernization, deeply understands the importance of science and technology! But most of the time, Lu Bu felt a little powerless! He is not an all-powerful God, and not everything can be improved and made. It's like this agricultural thing! He understood that China's agriculture was extremely developed in the history of the world, and people in this era knew how to pull one ox and two oxen carry the bar. And China's ploughshare technology also seems to be the most advanced in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that before the advent of the mechanization era, China's farming methods were only improved step by step on the basis of the inventions and creations of their predecessors. Until 2,000 years later, in modern society, there are still some places where machinery has not yet reached, and this traditional farming method is still continued.

But it's one thing to know, it's another to be able to do it. As a modern person in the 21st century, you know all the products of modernization, and if you go to ancient times, you can transcend the times and invent those things? Have one's head in the clouds! The products of modernization also need to be improved and developed from generation to generation by our ancestors, and they are not created out of thin air. Let you go to the era of slash-and-burn, I'm afraid you don't even know what to do and how to survive...... Today's Lu Bu is facing such a problem, he must understand that this ploughshare is not the best, it is extremely inconvenient to operate, and the efficiency is not very high, if it can be improved, then it will undoubtedly be able to make people plow, more simple and convenient. But this improvement is not something you can change if you say it, you also need talents!

Lu Bu's words entered Jia Xu's ears, and Jia Xu also nodded slightly, "What the lord said is very true, if this iron plough can be improved, then it will greatly speed up the cultivation of the people, and it will save a lot of energy. This kind of subtle matter is still carefully observed by the lord! ”

Jia Xu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Don't look at the things that Lu Bu proposed, if you can really improve this iron plow, then you don't know how much of a role it will have for the people! This kind of subtle matter, Jia Xu never thought that it would be discovered by his lord, Lu Bu, who was born in a martial artist. And these literati who have read the scriptures have never thought of it, and they are really ashamed.

"Huh!"

Lu Bu smiled and affirmed Jia Xu's words, "Wen and you are right, this improvement of the iron plough seems to be insignificant, but the benefits to the people are great!" You can tell it to go on, and if anyone can improve the structure of this iron plow, he will be rewarded with a hundred gold! ”
