What was in front of Emperor Lu was not a gun, and Liangshan was not just making guns. This is a heavy plough, also known as a wheel plow. Because it has a pair of wheels, it is very different from the traditional Chinese curved plow.

The depth of the plough is controlled by wheels, the ploughshare is vertical, and the ploughshare turns the plot over. It can be said that this set of wheels is the mystery of this heavy plough.

If there were Europeans here, they would have exclaimed "Saxon wheel plow".

This is a kind of plough that has only just emerged in Europe, and it is called a heavy plough in order to distinguish it from the previous plough. It is a landmark product of the development of agriculture in Europe.

You know, the soil of the European plain is completely different from China. Soil conditions made it difficult for Western Europeans to cultivate the land intensively. In the southern Mediterranean, the soil is loose, and if so, the water is easy to evaporate, and in order to preserve moisture, deep ploughing cannot be carried out, and only a light plough is used to rake the land vertically and horizontally, so that the soil surface is loose. Because most of the soil in the crop growth layer is not turned, its root system cannot be fully extended, and the fertility of the land is not optimally utilized. Due to the lack of manufacturing technology, northern Europe, especially central and northern Europe, where the land is fertile, also used light ploughs at first, until the advent of heavy ploughs opened a new chapter in European agriculture.

"Your Majesty, please see that this plough not only covers the seeds, but also loosens the soil, so that the infiltrated water is concentrated in the roots of the crop for easy absorption. What's more, when this wheel plough is combined with a horse, its ploughing speed is several times faster than that of oxen ploughing. "An official of the Ministry of Industry turned over the dirt and told Emperor Lu to look at the deep plow marks." Jiaozhi cattle plough deeper and faster, which is the merit of benefiting the country. ”

The feelings of the Chinese are subtle, but at this time, in the presence of the landing emperor, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are no longer subtle. They stayed here and studied hard, in order to hold their heads high in front of the emperor and be rewarded by the emperor.

Liangshan Boli is not only making guns and cannons, but also some rare things will appear here. For example, the heavy plough in front of you, as well as some experimental looms, spinning machines, etc.

Lu Qian came to Liangshanbo this time for the former. Because of this invention, compared with the development of the Chinese people in the northeast, northwest, and even overseas in the future, it is a big killer.

"Good, good, good!" After seeing the effect, Lu Qian applauded repeatedly. He couldn't be upset. This invention is beneficial to the country and the people.

In the future, the impoverished population of the Central Plains will be greatly transferred to the vassal states, the population of the country will decrease, the land area will increase, the cultivated land area will increase, and the development of industry and commerce will disperse a lot of labor, and the per capita cultivated land of the people will also increase. At that time, it is not impossible for the Europeans to appear in the Central Plains.

Patting the ploughing horse's back with his hand, the smile on his face was not fake.

Although the Europeans invented the wheel plow at this time, it was limited to the tragic use of animal power by the Europeans, and the role of the wheel plow was a complete pearl in their hands. You know, China has long put the yoke on the horse's shoulder, which changed the situation of tying the yoke to the sternum and increased the tension of the horse. But they're still obsessed with the chest strap method.

For a long time, the use of livestock, especially horses, by Europeans was at the first stage of the development of horse yoke technology, that is, the neck and belly belt.

The horsepower use efficiency of this method is extremely low, because the force point is above the horse's neck, whether it is plowing the land, or pulling the cart, the neck of the horse is too heavy, and the pressure directly squeezes the trachea of the horse, if the horse exerts too much force, it is very easy to cause suffocation, and the horse's strength can only play 1/3.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the second phase of the horse yoke technology, which had been born in China for nearly a thousand years, was introduced westward to Europe. That is, the yoke is tied to the sternum, which increases the tension of the horse. In the West, for example, horses were also widely used to pull plows.

At that time, the development of China's horse yoke had already entered the third and final stage,—— even if the neck sleeve side pull method has been used to this day.

The horse's stress point is no longer confined to one sternum, but is evenly distributed. In this way, the horse can be used to its full strength.

The results of the experiment were encouraging. The surname of the first official is Shen, and the single name is Yi, which is said to be the nephew of Shen Kuo.

"I really don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the speed of horse ploughing is faster than that of oxen, less than two times, more than three or four times." Shen Yi has a family history, and he has been fiddling with those strange and obscene skills since he was a child. There has been little development in his career.

This life has passed like this, I don't want a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the towering son of the Zhao family was pushed off the altar, and Emperor Lu ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne.

Shen Yi surrendered to Lu Qian as early as when Xijing was broken, and because of his ancestor's fame, he was highly expected by Lu Qian.

This plough was the first task he received. It took two years and was finally done.

Of course, he knew the importance of this matter, but he was from the Shen family, so he heard a lot and "knew" a lot. Although he felt that this matter was beneficial to the country and the people, he did not think that this kind of credit could affect the heart of Emperor Laozi.

His uncle was even more capable at the beginning, erudite and good at writing, and wrote on astronomy, chronicles, calendars, music, medicine, and divination. Isn't it still depressed? Shen Kuo's astronomy and mathematics didn't help him in the end.

Shen Yi's original idea was to complete this round of ploughing. In the mouth of the emperor, a wheel plough that can be pulled by a horse, ploughed deep and fast, has only one name. This is no small task.

Once it is completed, it will be of great benefit to both the country and the people, and the emperor will inevitably reward him heavily. In this way, his Shen family will be able to continue.

Where did you think that the emperor Lao Tzu really came. At this moment, if he doesn't boast about his achievements, he Shen Yi will be the number one Mu Ne person in the world.

Of course, there is no shortage of real fools in this world. Or maybe it's a counterattack before death.

At the east gate of Guangzhou, the four of them stood under the city and looked at the grain trucks rolling into the city, and their faces were full of heartfelt smiles. On the side stood Xu Changyan, the brother of Xu Huiyan, who came to deliver grain.

It's rare. At this point, Xu Huiyan was still willing to obey the dispatch and send a large amount of grain and grass from eastern Guangdong to Guangzhou. It's rare, it's rare.

Only now can the bigwigs of the Western Army, such as Planter Dao and Yang Weizhong, feel the weight of five thousand stones of grain and grass. When Zhao Huan went west, he scraped off most of the money and grain in Guangzhou, and the grain left behind seemed to be a lot, but most of it was moldy and blackened old grain.

Obviously, no one in the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was optimistic about the cultivation of the master and the city of Guangzhou.

But God helped, and after Zhang Zhongxiong captured Yingzhou, he stopped his troops. But he was infected with dysentery and could no longer handle the army.

In this way, the group training in Guangzhou has passed the moonlit scene peacefully.

This is something that the master himself did not expect, and therefore, Guangzhou is short of food.

The farmer can naturally borrow grain from big households and merchants, and he holds tens of thousands of Lian Yong in his hands, and the latter does not dare to disobey. But after thinking about it repeatedly, he still wrote one and sent someone to hand it to Xu Huiyan. After receiving the letter, the latter did not shirk it, and immediately asked Xu Changyan to lead troops to escort 5,000 stone of grain and grass into Guangzhou.

Seeing 5,000 stone grains and grass entering the city, the planter Dao was very big in his heart. Save a little, these 5,000 stone of grain can be fed for at least a month's worth of food for his sergeants.

In this way, the seed master Dao naturally invited Xu Changyan into the house afterwards, and thanked him.

A few people sat down in the hall, and the smiles on their faces gradually converged. The current situation is really difficult, and if you really want to laugh, none of them can laugh.

"Old man, if you have more, you can keep it. Although our Fujian army is not as famous as the Western army, in this southern country, who mentions my brothers and doesn't give a thumbs up, and doesn't mention our Fujian army and don't say a good man? ”

"We are loyal to the imperial court, fighting in southern Zhejiang, fighting in Jianzhou, fighting in Nanjian, fighting in Quanzhou, and fighting in Zhangzhou. Which one is not doing your best? It was Li Xianggong who was killed, and only more than 1,000 remnants of tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated, and we had no complaints about the imperial court. "As we all know, the defeat of the Fujian army in Zhangzhou was the handiwork of Tang Ke.

"But what did the court do to us? No food, no food, no support. The gates of more than a dozen states and counties are closed, aren't we the soldiers and horses of the imperial court? Those bird officials said that we were flying high and domineering, and they were looting the treasury, and it was like a rebellion. Didn't those bird officials first look at us as thieves to guard against it? ”

Xu Changyan cried very sadly.

Seed Master Dao and Yang Weizhong are both old oilers, and they have a good grasp of the thoughts of local officials in eastern Guangdong, and they don't blame Xu Huiyan at all. This is the loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it?

The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy and sad, the Great Song Dynasty had fallen to the point where it was now, and there was really no hope.

The cultivator felt as if his heart was pressing on a big stone, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe.

"Old man, if you want me to say that this day will be less than two meals a day. I've waited for all the personnel, and then I'll listen to the destiny of heaven. ”

The seed master shook his head again and again, and tears were about to flow.

At this time, a shout suddenly sounded outside the house: "The holy decree has arrived, the holy decree has arrived." The sergeant came to report, and the emperor sent Chen Gongfu to announce the decree.

Several people looked at each other, Xu Changyan was a little presumptuous, and said with a smile: "This official family has not forgotten about us? "I even remember sending important ministers to announce the decree, it's rare.

Seed Master Dao and Yang Weizhong glanced at each other, but they couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.

"The emperor said: The thief Xu Huiyan is a great rebel, and he coerced his corporal to rebel, and the crime is not punishable. Specially appointed to breed Dao, Yang Weizhong, supervised the regimental training in Guangnan, and went east to quell the rebellion. Chin this. ”

Everyone present raised their heads in shock, and Chong Yanchong didn't feel that his mouth was wide open, and he let out a silent mockery.

Chen Youxian shouted angrily: "How can this really be true. The ministers of the court must have lost their minds and did such things that make their relatives and enemies happy. ”

No one can hear it so loudly. Seed Master Dao and Yang Weizhong went to see Chen Gongfu immediately, but saw that the other party's face did not change at all, as if they hadn't heard it.

The planter hurriedly said to him: "Please settle down and rest first." It's been hard all the way. In my heart, I am glad that this Chen Gongfu is an active person.

But looking back, this situation made him not know how to deal with Xu Changyan.

The latter played on his body, laughed for a while, making people feel desolate, "Since the court has spoken, someone Xu's good head is here, and the old minister can take it!" ”
