There were several pairs of eyes staring around the Chen Mansion, and as soon as Chen Ming left the Chen Mansion, someone followed him, and Chen Ming was in a hurry and didn't notice it.

At this time, Chen Ming had lost his sense of proportion, he was no longer calm as before, and his mustache was also split off, and he was no longer neat before.

After Ye Chen arranged the matter, he came to the craftsman's workshop, Quyuan plough was the most important thing, it was delayed because of the conspiracy of the Chen family before, but now that the matter is arranged, of course Ye Chen wants to take a look.

The carpenter's workshop and the blacksmith's workshop have jointly manufactured five pairs of finished products, Ye Chen looked at it, and it was almost the same as he imagined.

As long as the experiment is qualified, then it will be manufactured in large quantities, if a batch can be manufactured in a short time, maybe the spring ploughing can be completed.

Ye Chen is a doer, and early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, he took the tiger head to the field. To Ye Chen's surprise, Steward Wu was already waiting for Ye Chen at the door.

He also let him bring the five pairs of curved plows.

By the time they arrived in the fields, many of the tenant farmers had already begun to work, and today it seems that many people had access to hoes, and only a few had no tools and used primitive digging sticks.

However, today's tenant farmers do not have too much melancholy, thinking that they have received the Ye family's money and bought grain, which is enough to spend the days before the autumn harvest.

And the Ye family said that half of it was given for free, and the other half was borrowed, and it was lent to them without interest, and they were not in a hurry to repay it, they couldn't pay it back this year, and they would pay it back next year, and if anyone had difficulties, they could ask the Ye family for help.

These policies were all proposed by Ye Chen, and he wanted to do his best to retain the peasants, only they could provide Ye Chen with a steady stream of food.

Coming to the edge of the farmland and looking at the farmland with no end in sight gives rise to an impulse, an impulse that my world starts from the land under my feet.

Ye Chen opened his arms and breathed deeply, breathing in this breath full of hope, but the literati emotion was not suitable for Ye Chen, and he began to do things after relaxing his mood.

"Tiger head, go and call a few strong laborers to come over, and pull three more complete straight ploughs, and then pull three more ploughing oxen."

Because the land is relatively large, the people are relatively scattered, and it took more than half an hour for the tiger to find all the people.

Of the five pairs of curved ploughs, three pairs were unloaded, and they were all set on the ploughing oxen.

There are also three straight ploughs, one with two oxen.

In this way, the six plows are lined up, and the distance between them is more than ten meters. The curved plow is lighter and one ox is sufficient, while the straight plow is two oxen.

The people who drive the oxen and pull the plough are all experienced strong laborers, all of whom have more than ten years of experience in the field.

"Listen, everyone, this time is to test the newly invented plow, everyone does it with their hearts, and those present can get unexpected rewards as long as they participate in this test regardless of the result."

The people who were called at the expense of precious farming time were still dissatisfied, but because the fields were the Ye family's disobedience, otherwise if the Ye family took back the land, then their family would have no way to live.

Now I heard the young master of the Ye family say that as long as they participate, there will be rewards, everyone is a little better, and the Ye family is also good to them, at least this time they really paid for them to buy food, so that they can survive the current crisis.

Although most families still have surplus food, it is only enough to eat until the summer, and there are still two or three months before the grain harvest.

"Okay, now listen to my orders, all plows, plow".

The six plows drove side by side, and the fresh soil was turned up, and a fragrance wafted up.

The six men were all skilled ploughers, and the plough was under their control to plough through layers of dirt.

The movement here gradually attracted some farmers who were ploughing the fields.

At first, the straight plow took the upper hand, and the curved plow was thrown off at once.

Steward Wu frowned when he saw it, although it was only a cow, but the speed had slowed down, and the result was still the same.

And Ye Chen's expression was still the same, he had already found a problem, because Quyuan plow was a new thing, everyone was not familiar with it, and it was inevitable that he would not be used to it for the first time.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the speed of the quyuan plow to gradually increase, and as the people, oxen, and plough were finished, the speed became faster and faster.

The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and when the circle was almost at the end, the Quyuan plough caught up.

When turning, the plough turned lightly, with only a slight pause in the middle, and experienced people know that the plough does not change the turn, not to mention the plough itself, and the two oxen have no way to tacitly understand.

Now there is no suspense, the zigzag plow pulls faster and faster, and finally throws off the straight plough far away.

I don't know who cheered first, but by this time a large number of peasants had gathered, and they ran after the quyuan plow.

Someone took a handful of dirt on the ground, sniffed the smell of the dirt, and then began to cry.

There were also people who shouted and jumped after the curved plow.

Even Steward Wu couldn't help it, and followed Qu Yuan plough to take a closer look.

Experienced old farmers saw that the ground ploughed by the zigzag was significantly deeper than that of the straight plough, and that when the soil was ploughed, it automatically spread out to both sides and broke up automatically.

As a result, farmers no longer need to loosen the soil, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

At this point, the game is meaningless, because the result is already clear.

Qu Yuan Plough finally had to stop, because there were so many onlookers that they couldn't get out of the way.

The three men driving the zigzag plough were very excited, they had never ploughed the land with much ease.

Ye Chen walked over, and a group of people stood around the three curved ploughs.

"The six brothers are fortunate, I just said that I want to reward everyone, so what is the reward, it is the thing in front of you, this thing is called Quyuan plow."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, many people became excited, and the three men who drove the Quyuan plow actually cried in public, and they were crying loudly.

No one blamed them, including Ye Chen, although Ye Chen did not feel the suffering of the peasants, he also knew that they were the most difficult group of people in China for thousands of years.

"On behalf of the Ye family, I promise that the Ye family will make a batch of curved plows like this as soon as possible and provide them to everyone for free."

After that, the crowd erupted in cheers and cries.

The advantages of the curved plough are obvious, and just one cow alone is a huge advantage. You must know that cattle in this era are more expensive than people, and one person can feed a large family.

And the use of the quyuan plough undoubtedly liberated a cow, and one more cow saved one more family.

On that day, Ye Chen fully tested the Quyuan plow and then inspected the farmland again, and walked the entire farmland of the Ye family in a general circle.

The results are not optimistic, there are still about half of the fields that have not been ploughed, and there is not much time left before spring ploughing, Ye Chen can only order to work overtime to make farm tools and curved ploughs.

Ye Chen also asked Manager Wu to contact a group of horses to act as ploughing cattle.

It was not until it was almost dark that Ye Chen went back with the tiger head, and Manager Wu asked Ye Chen to send it back in advance to arrange the production of the Quyuan plow.

With the Quyuan plow, the land can be cultivated to the maximum, and there may be some farmland that cannot catch up with spring ploughing, but Ye Chen still has time, not this year, but next year he can multiply more farmland several times, provided that there is enough land.

However, will the Ye family lack land? As long as you want to, there is always a way, it's a big deal to reclaim wasteland, reclaiming wasteland is just that there was not much harvest in the first two years, and Ye Chen still has time.

Back at the Ye family, there was already a person who had already come back from the inquiry and was waiting in Ye Chen's courtyard.

After Ye Chen hurriedly ate, he took the tiger head to the study.

"Young family master, this is Liu Qi, he is in charge of the monitoring of the Chen Mansion, and this is Wang Tianhammer, who is responsible for the monitoring of the Chen family's shop."

Tiger Head briefly introduced the two people, and Ye Chen didn't talk much nonsense.

"Say, what did you find".

"Young master, we found that Chen Ming arrived at the county office in a hurry today, and found that the county order was not there, so he went directly to the county order's mansion and went in for more than an hour before coming out." Liu Qi has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and this little thing still can't be difficult for him.

"Well, Xiangping County Order!" Ye Chen had a cold light in his eyes, he knew that there must be officials involved, but he didn't think it was just a Xiangping county order, because Xiangping was the Liaodong Governor's Office, and the people guarding the city gate were people from the county.

"Young family master, we found out that today, the Chen family's store urgently transported a batch of grain from the county magistrate Huang Xin's wife's uncle's house and the county magistrate Shi Huangfei to the Chen family's grain store."

Ye Chen was taken aback, this county lieutenant was in charge of public security and theft, equivalent to the director of the county public security bureau, and he had a county's soldiers and horses in his hands, but this could only make some trouble for the Ye family at most.

The important thing is the history of the county magistrate, which has a county of soldiers and horses, and has military power in his hands, and the city gate is also defended by county soldiers and horses.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not yet happened, and the Han Dynasty had relatively strict control over the locality, although it was a county, there were not many soldiers and horses, but Ye Chen was still uneasy in his heart, after all, the other party was the long history of a county.

Through understanding, Ye Chen knew that Liaodong Taishou was an outsider, who was hollowed out by local officials, and his influence was limited, so that the county magistrate Shi had a lot of power.

Don't care so much about it for now, after all, it's not a real troubled time, and the officials of the Han Dynasty don't dare to be blatant.

Put this thing down first, the soldiers will come to block it, take care of the front and then talk about it, and the others will take one step at a time.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen went to check the manufacturing of the Quyuan plow.

As soon as the morning dawned, the workshop had already started, and Steward Wu arranged more than a dozen craftsmen to build the Quyuan plow, and also arranged many apprentices.

Ye Chen is quite satisfied with this arrangement, Quyuan Plough not only has to rush out a batch, but also has a large demand in the future.

After watching the manufacture of Quyuan plow, there was nothing to do for the time being, and Ye Chen called the tiger head to inspect the farmland again.
