In early October, Ma Jun and Yu Hao, the masters of the Hundred Workshops, created several agricultural tools [Quyuan Plow], [Plough Rake], and [Keel Waterwheel] to be built by His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan.

And Lin Yuyan was on a wasteland in the Lin clan's land, carrying out Lin Yuyan's "persuasion" of Lu Lian, and there were Fu Cheng Lu Lian, the director of the Baigong Workshop, and the big farmer Xu Jia.

Of course, Lu Lian was also instructed by Lin Yuyan, and it was also exchanged for some cattle, these cattle were used to pull carts, used to plough the land, to be honest, Lu Lian was absolutely not optimistic in his heart, if it wasn't for persuading His Royal Highness to give up using iron tools to build farm tools, Lu Lian would not have used these cattle?

The bone blade of the ploughing rake and the plough blade of the curved plough are all installed by the craftsmen of the hundred workshops in the position of the ploughing rake and the curved plough, and the size is just right.

Compared with the idea of the tricky, the craftsmen Ma Jun and Yu Hao, who created these farm tools, are all in a completely different mood.

It's hard to imagine that something so ingeniously conceived could be used for farming. And it's still in the hands of a royal son!

Many important officials of the Lin clan, such as Lu Lian, Foil Xi and others, also came to the scene, and this time they were very concerned about whether His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan withdrew his "nonsense behavior".

Ma Jun and Yu Hao saw that on the land of the Lin clan, there were several cows grazing with their heads down, cattle, although this is common in Southern Qin, but it is basically used as a vehicle to transport things, these craftsmen also understand that His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan directly planned to use cattle as a power source at the beginning of designing these things.

[Cow is a valuable thing......]

Ma Jun thought in his heart that most of Daqin's cattle were used for military transportation, or simply to serve the wealthy families and used for agricultural production, which Ma Jun had never heard of.

For these farm tools, Lin Yuyan only has a general impression, the specific operation, to be honest, I am afraid that Ma Jun and Yu Hao and other craftsmen who have not yet built these farm tools are familiar with it, so Lin Yuyan said: "Please also ask a few masters to put farm tools on these cows." ”

Ma Jun, Yu Hao and other craftsmen responded when they heard this, and Ma Jun led people to the side of several cows, led them to the side of the farm tools, and began to put some of the tools belonging to the cow's body on the cow's body.

At the same time, the keel waterwheel, which was several feet long, began to be slowly lowered into the canal by those craftsmen Yu Hao, ready to lift water.

Ma Jun personally picked up the Quyuan plow, put the position of the plow shovel into the soil, and looked at Lin Yuyan and asked if he wanted to start.

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Let's start, Master Ma is using these things for the first time, and he is not yet proficient, so he still has to be careful......"

Ma Jun nodded, but in order to make sure that the work of the cattle was given to the original owner of the cows, who was also a coachman who accompanied the cart.

"It's okay to pull!" As soon as the horse said, the coachman who was leading the ox in front of him struck the ox on the buttocks with a whip, and quickly ran to the front of the ox and took the reins.

The hooves of the cow move slowly......

Ma Jun's heart beat faster, and he stared at the plough shovel without moving, and sure enough, he saw that with the straightening of the hemp rope, the plough shovel began to move slowly, because the downward design was directly inserted in the soil.

The ox walks very slowly, but steadily.

In a few breaths, the ox took a few steps, and the zigzag plough moved more than a kilometer......

"This ......"

Ma Jun and the people watching next to him widened their eyes, and they saw the land passed by the plough of the curved plow, and the soil that was originally buried a foot deep in the ground was turned over, and the slightly moist soil seemed to have earthworms drilled out of it.

However, in just a few breaths, it is able to turn over the soil more than one zhang, and the horse horse with the handle is also very stunned, after all, if such land is dug up by manpower, it will take at least a hundred waves to be able to reclaim such a small piece of land.

This thing actually works!

Naturally, he was also concerned about this movement, and when he saw the appearance in front of him, he also looked at His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, and when he wanted to say something, he found that the latter's brows were tightened, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with the performance of this Qu Yuan plow, Wen Lu had to ask: "Your Highness, it seems that you are not satisfied with the performance of this Qu Yuan Plow......

Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "It should be that this land is too dry, so the ox ploughing is so slow, so you can let the keel waterwheel first pick up some water from the canal water to make this piece of land wet......"

Lu Lian naturally agreed, so he found a few strong forces and walked to Yu Hao's keel waterwheel and began to lift water.

Everyone was about ten feet away from the place where the waterwheel was, and their focus was on this Quyuan plow, so they did not go to the keel waterwheel.

Because of the performance of the Quyuan plow, the farmer Xu Jia is also very much looking forward to this keel waterwheel, according to His Royal Highness, to be able to continuously lift water, without the need for manpower to transport a bucket and a pass, which is undoubtedly a standard cultivation artifact for farmers!

Yu Hao, who created this keel waterwheel, also said in a tone full of expectation: "Let's start......

A few strong men squatting at the position of the dragon head of the keel waterwheel held a few horizontal plates at the dragon's head and began to rotate.

Lu Lian, Foil Tin and the others looked down and saw that the keel leaf row on that side was rolled upward, and there was still a splash of canal water on it.

"Can you really ......" I haven't seen the water come up, Yu Hao at the front is determined, and sure enough, when his muttering fell, he could see a steady stream of water from the canal to the fields, and then along the shore of the land, slowly flowing to the surrounding areas......

This movement also made Xu Jia, a farmer who has been paying attention, full of excitement, but he didn't know if this excitement was directly because of this keel waterwheel.

Yu Hao looked at Lin Yuyan who was not far away, and also signaled the meaning of bringing water, but the latter was interested, looked at Lu Lian and said: "Luqing, this rake needs to wait for the water to fill the field before it can be used, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while......

Didn't pay attention to what kind of face the water was, looking at the bubbling water, Lin Yuyan's original frowning brows were slightly lowered, and those young people also dredged the small ditch is to bring up the water is ground is wet.

Although the officials of the Lin clan such as Lu Lian did not personally engage in agricultural production, they still understood the basic farming, and the director of the Baigongfang said with a wry smile: "Lu Cheng, the things cast by His Highness with iron are really ......."

Looking at the zigzag plow, he didn't expect that this thing would have such a big effect, it could make it easy to reclaim the land, a hundred acres of land, in the past, it was necessary for a family to catch up with it day and night for several months, and it was not necessarily possible to reclaim a hundred acres of land, but now there is this ziyuan plow, keel waterwheel and the rake that has not played a role for the time being, two people reclaim a hundred acres of land a day, there is nothing impossible!

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then looked at His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan who was not far away, and said to Fang Xi beside him: "Your Highness is really amazing...... It's hard to imagine that such a noble figure as His Highness could design such a farm tool! ”

Foil Tin also nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuyan watched the water gradually flood the land, and also said: "After the land is wet, first use the curved plow to turn over the ground, and then use the rake to level the ground. ”

Coincidentally, the big farmer Xu Jia had already walked over from the direction of the keel waterwheel, and when he heard Lin Yuyan say this, he was also quite surprised.

[I really didn't expect His Highness to be...... A good farmer! 】

I saw that the horse horse responded, that is, he continued to pick up the plough handle, and began to plough the ox with the coachman, without taking a few steps, only to hear the horse horse said with some annoyance: "I regret that I did not make the original size according to the design of His Royal Highness, and now I have to try it out and find that this ziyuan plow is really a little small......"

Hearing this, the trickle on the side also turned around and smiled at Gongziyan.

Lin Yuyan looked at Wen Xiangheng and said, "Is Lu Qing persuaded by me now?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Lian's face was embarrassed and smiled, and he naturally knew what His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan meant, it was nothing more than that he felt that the object that He wanted to come up with was not feasible before, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to do so, and now it seems that it is not so difficult to accept, and Lu Yan is not afraid to admit his mistake: "Your Highness, this time it is Lu Yan's mistake......"

Hearing that his assistant confessed his mistake, Lin Yuyan finally raised the corners of his mouth, but the words that came out immediately did have some regret: "It's a pity...... These farm tools are not yet perfect ......"

Lu Lian nodded, and now he felt that it was understandable that these farm tools were made of iron.

However, Xu Jia, a big farmer on the side, still couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, looked at His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, and asked, "Could it be that His Royal Highness accepted the 'Mo family' or 'farmer' in the palace school?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan pondered for a while, and felt that it was inappropriate to deny it, so he nodded and said: "I have read some of the works of the hundred schools of thought, these things came on a whim, I didn't expect it to be so useful." ”

Xu Jia smiled, he naturally knew how much Lin Yuyan's words were true, but since His Royal Highness Gongziyan was so disguised, Xu Jia was not a wood after all, so he didn't ask anymore because he was quite self-aware.

Compared with the shock that these farm tools brought to Fu Cheng and the Department of Foil and Tin, in fact, Xu Jia, as a big farmer, saw a little more far-reaching.

"These farm tools are also very suitable for reclamation......

Listening to Xu Jia's sigh, he reminded Lu Jian and Fang Xi, looking at these farmers who were busy working on the fields, the two of them invariably came up with a ridiculous idea.

If these farmers are all holding a farm tool that His Highness wants to build...... So what?! 〗
