Graduates of the College of Agriculture must know about Quyuan plow, because the emergence of Quyuan plough is of great significance to farming. Since the late Tang Dynasty, after the appearance of the Quyuan plough in the Jiangdong area, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, there has been no great change. This can illustrate the practicality of the curved plow.

Li Sheng's agricultural skills are still very good, although some too advanced theories, the content and data of reference books, Li Sheng's brain can't remember. But Li Sheng can still remember Qu Yuanli's data.

The carpenter in the village is called Li Weiyuan, and his family has been a carpenter for generations. Li Weiyuan was also requisitioned to build the palace, and the work in his hands is needless to say. When Li Sheng first entered the door, when he saw Li Weiyuan, he thought he saw an old man in his sixties and seventies, but only later learned that he was only in his forties. This surprised Li Sheng. There is no way, the average life expectancy of the ancients was very low, and this is also a problem of genes and nutrition.

Li Sheng took a brush and a piece of paper and drew it. After a while, the pattern of a zigzag plough was printed on the paper, and the appearance of the various parts being separated.

After Li Sheng finished painting, he picked it up and looked at it. Li Sheng somehow was not very satisfied with his painting work, and Li Sheng felt that the painting was a little untidy. In fact, this is just Li Sheng's point of view in this life, if it is put to the present, it will take several years of hard work to become like this. Maybe the ancients had high requirements for themselves, Li Sheng sighed. It's another character. I can't help the memories of the two people, it's a bit messy.

Li Sheng looked at the Quyuan plough he had drawn, and he felt that he was not painting well. Just when I wanted to tear up and repaint, I heard Li Weiyuan, a carpenter on the side, shouting: "Xiao Langjun, slow down." How about the old man? ”

Only then did Li Sheng give up the idea of tearing up and repainting, handed it to the carpenter, and said, "Boy, I have neglected to practice recently, and I have made a fool of myself. ”

Li Weiyuan waved his hand and ignored Li Sheng. One hand holds a drawing drawn by Li Sheng, and the other hand gesturing on the paper, as if calculating data. After a while, he suddenly said loudly: "Wonderful! Great! ”

After Li Weiyuan finished speaking, regardless of the two people in the yard, he quickly ran to the house. After a while, he came out with tools and said to Li Sheng and Guan Laowu: "Why don't you go to the plow, what are you doing in my yard?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, they went out and disappeared. Li Sheng and Guan Lao Wu in the courtyard were stunned. Li Sheng sighed that the ancients were too upright. This is not even talking about wages, so I went to work quickly. It's too straightforward.

The blacksmith is not so easy to find, and there is no one in Lijia Village. Only Xianyang County has it. Because the blacksmith shop belongs to the government, it is also a good way to manage civilian weapons.

Guan Laowu and Li Sheng had no choice but to put on an ox cart and go to Xianyang County. Lijia Village is about 30 miles away from Xianyang County and only 20 miles away from Chang'an City. The reason why I don't go to Chang'an City is that there is no way, Lijia Village does not belong to Chang'an City Management. It takes several procedures to get there and make a plowshare. It's not as simple and convenient as going to Xianyang County.

Because going to Chang'an is going out of the country, you have to explain what you are going out for, and you will be guided. It's not so troublesome to go to Xianyang County, as long as you show your identity when you enter the city.

When it was almost noon, the two entered Xianyang County. Li Sheng looked at the architectural style of the county town in the Tang Dynasty, and sighed in his heart. Li Sheng felt that none of this was real.

Guan Lao Wu didn't care what Li Sheng thought, stopped the ox cart at the door of a blacksmith shop, tied the ox, and went in with Li Sheng to meet the jingling noise.

"Guest officer, what do you need to fight?" A young man asked when he saw the two of them come in.

Li Sheng looked at the little servant, and it looked like he was picking up guests. However, he still said politely: "Little brother, dare to ask if this thing can be built?" ”

The little guy took the paper handed by Li Sheng, glanced at it, and whispered: "It looks like it's a plowshare, what is this one?" ”

Li Sheng smiled and took back the paper, pointed to the two pictures on it, and said, "This is the plow shovel, and this one is the plow wall." When the two are combined, they are called plowshares. ”

The little guy nodded, as if he understood. He took the drawings in Li Sheng's hand and walked over to a strong man who was striking iron. said a few words to the strong man, which was quite a taste of pointing. This made Li Sheng very puzzled, how did the waiter instruct the boss.

In fact, Li Sheng didn't know that in ancient times, people were divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, and businessmen, scholars were scholars, not to mention farmers, they were farmers, workers were craftsmen, and merchants were the lowest level of merchants.

The reason why the little guy can instruct the craftsman is because he is the supervisor of the government, that is, the scholar has no money and comes to work for the government, and there is no official position, and he belongs to the lowest level of officials. It is equivalent to the administrator of the vegetable market in later generations. What exactly it is called, there is no historical research. But the readers who can pull down their faces to do this job are basically readers who are forced by life.

The little guy made some arrangements, walked up to Li Sheng and said, "Seventeen catties of iron, sixty-eight dollars." ”

I'm a good one, it's a bit expensive. Sixty-eight dollars can buy one stone and seven buckets of rice, which adds up to more than 300 yuan. However, Li Sheng understood as soon as he thought about it, there was a difference between iron ore mining in ancient times and later generations. Iron is excusable. Thinking about this, Li Sheng paid happily. This money was also left by Li Sheng's father to Li Sheng.

At noon, the two of them were hungry and thirsty, and Guan Lao Wu had already scooped water from the blacksmith shop twice. Li Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Fifth uncle, it will take time for this thing to be ready, you and I will go eat together first." ”

Guan Lao Wu still wanted to excuse himself, but was pulled up by Li Sheng and left. Li Sheng really couldn't stand eating two meals a day during the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it's not just two meals, this is the patent of the poor, the rich and noble still eat three meals, and the food is good. However, farmers like Guan Lao Wu only have the habit of eating two meals, and eating at noon is called wasting food.

Fortunately, not far from the blacksmith shop, there is a liquor store. Li Sheng said in every possible way, but still pulled Guan Lao Wu into the wine shop. Guan Lao Wu is so old, it is the first time to go to a wine shop to eat, and his expression is a little embarrassed. It's quite shy when a girl first leaves the boudoir.

Li Sheng is different, although he was a small clerk in his previous life, there are still all kinds of entertainment. So it's very casual. Li Sheng was not too extravagant, he asked for two bowls of mutton soup, four Hu cakes, and some wine. In fact, he wanted wine because he wanted to taste what the alcohol of the ancients was. It was also good to satisfy his curiosity, in Li Sheng's impression, the ancients were too good to drink. Drinking is a jar.

The mutton soup and wine came up, and Guan Lao Wuyi improved the embarrassment when he came, picked up the porcelain bowl like a basin, and ate it regardless of the image. This can't blame Guan Lao Wu for his ugly appearance, because it is not easy for him to eat meat once.

Li Sheng tasted the mutton soup and frowned. It's too fat, what the hell is going on. Except for the salt, nothing else was put in, and this is boiled mutton in white water.

Li Sheng gave up the mutton soup, poured a bowl of wine, and tasted it. Li Sheng felt that this wine could not be compared with the glutinous rice wine in his previous life, like drinking a sip of swill. Li Sheng shook his head. It seems that if you want to eat delicious food, you have to rely on yourself.

More than eighty percent of men who were married in their previous lives could cook. Li Sheng is also within eighty percent, although he is not a chef with a certificate, but the food he cooks is also full of color, flavor, and flavor.

After Guan Lao Wu ate half a bowl of mutton soup and two Hu cakes, he slowly put away his magical powers. glanced at the wine on the table, happily poured himself a bowl, and then drank it from the bottom. And then with the look of a race fairy, it makes people feel very enjoyable. Then he ignored Li Sheng next to him, drank several bowls in succession, and then looked at Li Sheng.

"Nephew of the Li family, why don't you eat it?"

Li Sheng took the food, and in Li Sheng's taste, this is pig food. However, he can't say it in front of Guan Lao Wu, and if he says it, he will be sprayed in the face.

"The little nephew was recovering from a serious illness, and when he saw the greasy food, he had no appetite for a while. It's better for the fifth uncle to help me take it. After Li Sheng finished speaking, he pushed his mutton soup to Guan Lao Wu.

Guan Lao Wu rubbed his hands and said unconsciously: "I have eaten everything, what are you eating?" ”

Li Sheng pointed to the Hu cake on the table and said, "I'll eat it." ”

After a meal, Guan Lao Wu patted his round belly, and walked out of the wine shop with Li Sheng with a red face. The broth and wine all entered Guan Lao Wu's stomach, Li Sheng sighed, the fifth uncle is really upright, he is all fucking eating and playing, not to mention after eating, the two porcelain bowls were added by him. It's so fucking straightforward.

"Meidi is very, Meidi is very."

After leaving the wine shop, Guan Lao Wu expressed his joy. Li Sheng is not good at making many evaluations, he is too earthy. In his previous life, the white eyeballs could kill him. Li Sheng also figured out that the times are different, and the pursuit is different. Uncle Guan Wu can eat enough, he is already very beautiful, and it may be the pursuit of the hard-working public in this era.

The plowshare was laid, and Li Sheng and Guan Lao Wu went out of the city gate. Along the way, Guan Lao Wu's mood was exceptionally good, Lao Qin's voice kept shouting, and Li Sheng felt quite persecuted.

The carpenter also lived up to expectations, and the timber parts of the curved plough were processed by him. When Li Sheng took out the plowshare, the carpenter couldn't wait to assemble it. It didn't take long for Qu Yuan to appear in front of Li Sheng.

Li Sheng kept looking around the assembled Quyuan plow, and couldn't help but admire the skills of the ancients. There are no screws and nails in the previous life, and the tenon and tenon technology can make the curved plow a whole. This made Li Sheng's sense of the ancients change.

"Xiao Langjun, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied, exactly like I thought."

Can Li Sheng not be satisfied, without the help of precise measurement tools, he can make such an accurate size, which has already made Li Sheng admire in his heart. Originally, he thought that it would take several experiments to succeed, but he never thought that he could do it in one time, do you say he can be dissatisfied?

"What's that still going on? Try to pull the field. "Guan Lao Wu can't wait.

When the people of Lijia Village heard that Li Sheng had made a new plow, they all came out to see the excitement. The front of Li Sheng's field was full of people, and people discussed it one after another, and there were all kinds of voices, some for support and some for doubt. After Li Sheng heard this, he smiled slightly and didn't care.

The ploughing ox had already been set, Guan Lao Wu raised his whip, and the ploughing ox moved. Li Sheng instructed Guan Lao Wu on the side, lifting the plow and turning the plough and all other actions. Guan Lao Wu is an old farmer, and after a move, he understands the benefits of the Quyuan plow, which not only saves oxen labor, but also breaks the soil well, and the plough is deep. The main thing is that the oxen don't have to exert too much strength, they can go fast, and the speed of plowing the field will come up.

After plowing the line and not returning to the ground, Guan Lao Wu shouted excitedly: "Cheng! The Li family is a baby! ”

After arriving at the ground, Guan Lao Wu was surrounded by a crowd, and people inquired about the benefits of the new plow. After Guan Lao Wu finished speaking, everyone showed a look of shock and joy.

After the crowd came to their senses, several old men in the village walked out of the crowd and came to Li Sheng, and the people were suddenly silent, as if they had some important decisions to announce.

"Shengwazi, the new plough you made is a meritorious thing for Ze to be born, I wonder if you can give it?" An old man in his sixties spoke. This person is the ancestor of the Li family, and he is also the elder of Li Sheng's family.

Li Sheng saw the old man speak, and hurriedly bowed. Said: "Ancestor, Sun made this thing to reduce the burden, and there is no intention of hiding it." Please rest assured that the ancestor is willing to offer the method of making. ”

After the crowd heard Li Sheng's words, they let out a burst of praise and cheers. Only then did people dare to walk to the Quyuan plow, and looked at the Quyuan plough very carefully, and after a long time, Guan Lao Wu introduced them to the method of use. After everyone understood, they all walked up to Li Sheng and bowed. Li Sheng hurriedly returned the salute, joking that most of these people were elders, and Li Sheng didn't dare to accept their courtesy.

At this time, the ancestor suggested that Li Sheng dedicate the Quyuan plough to the government, so that everyone in the world could benefit. Li Sheng sighed again, the ancients were too upright. However, Li Sheng refused, because there were still columbs that had not been made, and Li Sheng wanted to make them and dedicate them to the government together after making them.

This time it ignited the enthusiasm of the villagers, and the quyuan plough was already so magical that they believed that the cocoon would also bring them surprises. People persuaded Li Sheng to draw drawings quickly, but Li Sheng couldn't refuse, so he had to go home and paint. This made Li Sheng's yard suffer, and it was full.

The cocoon car was soon made, and the cocoon car designed by Li Sheng was a cocoon car with four warehouses, which was very similar to the seeding machine of later generations. The barn was also moved back, and a small mechanism was set up at the position of the barn door, which was a small door that could be controlled to adjust the speed of the next seed. Li Sheng chose an iron pipe, which can be well grounded and durable. Li Sheng installed two wheels on both sides of the cart, which could reduce the burden on the cattle and improve the efficiency of the cart. What's more important is that the columbone can move up and down, put it down when sowing, the cocoon tilt seed can flow out smoothly, lift it after sowing, the cocoon tilt to the other side, and the seed will no longer flow out. Such a design and the seeder of later generations is a principle.

Just such a seeding machine similar to the previous life went to the field, and the speed and quality of sowing are not to be said, it is much stronger than the old-fashioned triangular cocoon car. People praised Li Sheng for his cleverness and admired Li Sheng even more. Everyone was very respectful to Li Sheng.
