Yanmen, Yinguan City.

"There are a lot of open spaces in the plains of Mayi, Yinguan, Shanwu, Zhongling, Wuzhou, Wangtao, and according to Yang, which are very suitable for large-scale tuntian. The general was in charge of Yanmen, and many displaced people from the Central Plains would come north to Yanmen. At that time, townships can be built in these places. ”

The original Yanmen Taishou Mansion has now been changed to the Hussar General's Mansion.

In the main hall, Cai Yong reported back to Liu Fan.

"Haoqiang controls the tenants, and there will still be tax evasion in Yanmen." Liu Fan took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Jun, the county leader: "This records the crimes of the powerful and powerful in the counties of Yanmen, and I have already asked people to look for the evidence.

This is a letter sent to him by Sima Wang Yue of the Jian Army.

In a month, Liu Fan's meticulous work has spread all over the county.

From the mouths of many villagers, we can inquire about the actions of families in various places.

As long as the nobles and families do not violate the law, Liu Fan will not care.

Haoqiang will be removed, as long as the evidence is complete, the counties will be destroyed one by one.

"No!" Zhang Jun gave up his hand.

"In addition to the national taxes to be paid, Yanmen County must have enough land to feed the people of the county. The most important thing is that Wuyanmen has more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry. It is necessary to fight with farming and animal husbandry. Tuntian should be carried out as soon as possible. Liu Fan said to Cai Yong again.

"I will send my adjutant as soon as possible to divide the available land. Let the landless and landless people carry out the tuntian. The cattle and sheep captured by the general from Tuoba Xianbei and ordered the officials to feed the livestock in many places. Cai Yong replied to Liu Fan.

"The general can implement the military cantonment, and order the troops of Xu Huang and Huang Zhong to be stationed in the military cantonment and be self-sufficient." At this time, Zhang Jun said to Liu Fan.

"Tuntian delays the training time of soldiers, internal and external troubles, it is necessary to have an elite soldier, and the tempering of soldiers must not be slack. We will have a big battle with Xianbei at any time. Liu Fan shook his head in denial.

Many monarchs used their soldiers' spare time to support themselves, training while cultivating their fields. to reduce the food burden.

It's a good idea indeed. However, Liu Fan currently has enough food to supply the soldiers, and the top priority is to make the new army under the command of Xu Huang and Huang Zhong have combat effectiveness to cope with the needs of the untimed.

"The land of the tuntian must be close to the flow of water, so that it is convenient to divert water for irrigation, and it cannot be left to fate, if it does not rain for many days, will there not be a year's harvest at all? I have found two kinds of farming tools, one is good for arriving land and the other is good for irrigation. Once these two types of farming tools are manufactured by Shentu Steel, the soil can be cleared for harder soil and minor droughts can be avoided. Liu Fanyu said.

"What a strange thing?" Zhang Jun, Cai Yong, Xun You, Jia Xu and others were all surprised.

"The plough was improved and the long straight wheel was changed to a short curved wheel to make it easier to break the soil and with less effort. Improve orange trees, overturns, and make keel waterwheels. In a few days, please join me to watch the effect of these two farm tools. "Liu Fan roughly introduced, some pretended to be mysterious.

The orange tree is the earliest tool for drawing water from the Chinese folk.

In "Zhuangzi, Outer Chapters, Heaven and Earth Chapters", it is recorded that Confucius's proud protégé Gongnan toured, and when he passed by Hanyin on the other way, he saw an old man holding an urn to draw water for irrigation, and he did half the work. It's very hard.

Zigong then told the old man a labor-saving appliance, called Zhizhi. Its production method is: chisel wood for the machine, heavy after the front light, if the water is pumped, the number is like fertile soup.

That is, a horizontal wooden frame is supported on a wooden frame, with a wooden barrel for drawing water at one end and a heavy object hanging at the other end, like a lever, which can save the power to draw water.

However, this method of irrigation is still tiring and the workload is limited.

The rollover was made by Liu Hongling Bi Lan.

Bi Lan is one of the ten permanent attendants, and he has no other feats other than making a rollover. But this overturned truck was not used for farming, but only to save the cost of sprinkling water for the people.

Liu Fan once went to Beijiao Road to watch the overturned car made by Bi Lan, and there was indeed a shadow of the overturned car in later generations.

Liu Fan wanted to improve the farm tools at that time, but unfortunately there was no chance.

Quyuan plough and waterwheel have a great influence on the Chinese people, and the countryside of later generations used Quyuan plow, and there are many places where there are waterwheels.

A large waterwheel can irrigate hundreds of acres of fields, and as long as there are no locust plagues, floods, and the kind of drought that depletes the water flow, it can be harvested every year.

Ten days later, Shentu Steel sent someone to send a zigzag plough and a batch of waterwheel parts to the water.

The next day, Liu Fan took Cai Yong, Zhang Jun and the officials of the Yin Pavilion to Yushui together. Many people in Yinguan County also went to watch.

"This is the improved plow, I call it the curved plow, who will plow the land, put on the ploughing ox, give it a try?"

Liu Fan pointed to a very "small" plow six feet long and said to everyone.

The long straight wheel was changed to a short curved wheel, and the original length of the plow in the Han Dynasty was generally about nine feet, and the front was up to the shoulder of the ox.

The plough of the Han Dynasty was a straight plough, with an increased plough wall, which was much stronger than the plough of the Qin period.

The length of the curved plough is about six feet, only to the back of the oxen. The plough frame becomes smaller and the weight is reduced, which is convenient for rotation, flexible operation, saving animal power, and changing from the two oxen lifting bar of the old plough to one ox traction.

And, due to its small footprint, this plough is particularly suitable for plowing in paddy fields in the south.

"I'll give it a try!" Zhang Jun pulled his sleeves and recommended himself.

Zhang Jun was born in a poor family and is very familiar with cultivated land.

Zhang Jun held the handle of the plow, and an assistant official went over to lead the ploughing ox.

Zhang Jun stepped the plough into the dirt with his feet and drove the ploughing oxen with wicker.

Among other things, this lightness was more convenient than the plow he had used before.

The ploughing ox walks around, slowly moving forward with the plow. Zhang Jun didn't need much strength to control, just grasped the direction. The soil that had been ploughed over was naturally turned aside.

Everyone's eyes were staring in disbelief.

"Quyuan plough is equipped with a plough evaluation, because the thickness of the plough evaluation is decreasing step by step, promote the plow evaluation, make the plow arrow downward, plow into the ground deep, pull back the plow evaluation, make the plow arrow upward, plow into the ground shallow, can adapt to the different needs of deep ploughing and shallow ploughing, improve the plow wall, the plow wall is circular, can be called the plough mirror, can push the turned up soil to the side, in order to reduce the forward resistance, and can overturn the soil block, in order to cut off the growth of grass roots." Liu Fan introduced everyone when they were shocked.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Quyuan plow has been used for more than 1,000 years and is the most advanced plough in the world.

Zhang Jun ploughed for a quarter of an hour in a row, and ploughed out a large area of land, and the ploughed land was completely different from the land ploughed by the straight plow.

The deeper the plough, the softer the soil.

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful, ploughing the fields with Quyuan, getting twice the result with half the effort."

Zhang Jun wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead and said excitedly.

"Join Zaigo to see what this keel waterwheel is for."

After a day's time, the keel waterwheel has been assembled by craftsmen.

A strange thing unfolded in front of everyone. This waterwheel has some origins with Bi Lan's invention of the rollover.

It is another familiar feeling for Liu Fan, Liu Fan thought in his heart: If the waterwheel turns, can it turn out the charm of the years......

At this moment, he thought of that hometown. When he was a child, he used to spin the waterwheel to play.
