Cotton and soybeans were harvested.

But in such a harvest season, few people can be idle.

There are already a lot of people in the Qin family, but in such a busy farming season, people still seem to be a little insufficient.

Let's not talk about the cotton, they are all from Qinjia Village, but the beans have to be deseeded after they are recovered, which is also very much in need of people.

And in addition to these repossessed homes, those fields also need to be plowed.

Before planting wheat, it is not possible to plough the field, otherwise the wheat will not grow well, and the next year's harvest may not be good.

Qin Tian didn't think of this at first.

It was on this day that he saw his sister Qin Feiyan ask people to mobilize people to plow the land, and he discovered this problem.

"Sister, do you go to plough so early?" It's just a bumper harvest now, and in Qin Tian's opinion, it's okay to plow the land before planting wheat, right?

"It's not early, we have almost more than 2,000 acres of land, so much land, even if there are dozens of cattle, it will take a few days to be able to plow it again, and after the mango is planted, we will plant wheat, can we not hurry?"

Qin Feiyan is still very good at growing crops, and after Qin Tian listens to it, he understands it to some extent.

There are few people on the land, and the ploughing is slow, so we must start as soon as possible.

After Qin Tian nodded, he also followed Qin Feiyan to the ground.

The more than 2,000 acres of land of their Qin family are not in one place, one in the east and one in the west, which is particularly chaotic, so this also wastes a lot of time for them.

After arriving in the field, there were already people from the Qin family manor to transport the plough of the plough, it was a very heavy plow, after entering the ground, it will get deeper and deeper, if you want to turn it over, you have to carry it by several people.

U-turns are also particularly troublesome, and it also requires several people.

When those subordinates were plowing in the ground, Qin Tian stood on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was clumsy.

In his previous life, he had also seen the kind of old antiques that ploughed in the countryside, but what he saw seemed to be able to operate it by one person, why was the plough in the Tang Dynasty so heavy?

Qin Tian searched in his mind and quickly found out the reason.

It turned out that at this time, the plough of the Tang Dynasty was still a short plow, which was relatively more clumsy, and it was not flexible enough to control the depth when plowing.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the curved plough appeared, which relatively solved some shortcomings of the short plough or the straight plough, making the plough more efficient and efficient.

During the Song Dynasty, people reformed on the basis of the Quyuan plow, which finally became the kind of ploughing thing he saw in later generations.

If you plough the ground with a modified curved plow, the efficiency can be almost doubled.

After learning this, Qin Tian did not continue to take it in the field, and after returning to the house, he began to make an improved version of the Quyuan plow.

This thing is composed of eleven parts, which is relatively cumbersome, but it has a golden finger, and it is nothing to Qin Tian, so not long after returning to the mansion, he made a zigzag plow.

Then, he immediately sent people to gather a large number of craftsmen and let them start making crazy production according to their own words.

At the same time, he hurried to the Qin Palace.

There are some things that Qin Tian can use to make money, such as the hatching of chickens, playing cotton, etc., because these will not affect the survival of the people.

But ploughing is not going to work.

The ancients often said to rush to harvest and grab seeds, and the planting of wheat is actually to grab seeds, if you can't plow the ground before planting, then I am afraid that there will be no harvest next year.

If there is no harvest, what will the people eat?

Therefore, Qin Tian will not earn the ill-gotten gains, and now that Qu Yuan ploughs are benefiting the people, he still hopes to use the power of the imperial court to promote it on a large scale as soon as possible.

After coming to the palace of the king of Qin, Qin Tian told Li Shimin about the situation of the quyuan plow, and Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard that this kind of quyuan plow was small and flexible, and the efficiency was better.

As a prince with a heart for the throne, Li Shimin is actually very considerate of the people, if it is beneficial to the people, then he will do it.

Without hesitation, Li Shimin took Qin Tian into the palace, and then told Li Yuan about the situation.

"Father, the benefits of this kind of curved plough for farming are simply rare, and now the people are rushing to plant, and the imperial court must let the Ministry of Industry make a large number of them as soon as possible, and then promote them throughout the country."

Li Yuan looked at the Quyuan plow and asked, "Is this Quyuan plow really better than the previous plow?" ”

The straight plough has been handed down from the Han Dynasty and has been passed down to the present for hundreds of years, although there have been occasional changes, but the efficiency has not improved much.

Qin Tian's curved plough looks like it has a few more parts than the straight plow, does it really have such an effect?

As soon as Li Yuan opened his mouth to question, Li Shimin realized that he didn't seem to have seen it with his own eyes, and when he heard Qin Tian say yes, he came directly.

I still trust Qin Tian too much.

Therefore, he looked directly at Qin Tian, Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said: "Shengshang, this kind of curved plough is indeed very convenient, after the minister made it, he has already tried it in the house, if the Shengshang wants to see the effect, the minister will send someone to the house to get it." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and soon, someone brought the Quyuan plough made by Qin Tian from the Qin Mansion.

That thing is indeed much more underestimated than the ordinary people now, after the thing was brought, Li Yuan led people to the Imperial Garden, here, several eunuchs were pulling in front, and Qin Tian was plowing the land alone, looking very relaxed.

When you need to make a U-turn, you can just turn around a little.

When Qin Tian tried like this, Li Shimin and Li Yuan were amazed.

Because the Tang Dynasty encourages farming, every year when planting wheat, Li Shimin and Li Yuan will personally go to the field to make sacrifices, pray for good weather in the coming year, and then symbolically plough the land.

They knew that it was a difficult thing to master, and that it would take at least two people to be able to plow the ground steadily.

But now Qin Tian's improved Quyuan plough can be done by one person, which undoubtedly improves efficiency and saves manpower.

Li Yuan attaches great importance to agriculture, as long as it is beneficial to agriculture, he will definitely support it, so as soon as Qin Tian came over, Li Yuan said excitedly: "Okay, Qin Aiqing has done another good thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, it should be rewarded, it should be ......rewarded."

Li Yuan was about to reward, Qin Tian said: "Saint, this matter is for the people, the minister does not dare to ask for merit and reward, as long as he can make this kind of curved plough as soon as possible, and then put it into the field, the minister is already very satisfied." ”

"Gao Feng Liang Festival, Gao Feng Liang Festival, if my officials in Datang can be like you, why worry that my Datang is not rich and strong?" Li Yuan became more and more fond of Qin Tian, and then ordered: "Come here, inform the people of the Ministry of Works, let them work day and night, and they must make this kind of curved plough in large quantities, and then give it to those people to use." ”

"Whoa!" The palace people hurriedly went down to give orders, and after Qin Tian saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
