Wei Shuo was very happy to lobby the Guo family, and the Yangqu Guo family was much more influential than the declining Wang family.

When he received Wang Zhongde's report, he immediately recruited Guo Yi as his secretary and accompanied him to assist him in handling official business.

As the territory of Hexi is getting bigger and bigger, the responsibility of the secretary and supervisor is becoming more and more important, and it is really a little powerless to rely on Fuqu Mengxun alone.

After Guo Yi came, he just helped Frustrated Meng Xun to reduce his burden.

Originally, Guo Yi had planned to participate in the Hexi scientific expedition, but after receiving the call, he immediately went to the secretary to report for duty.

Guo Yi can see very clearly that although the secretary Lang has a humble position, he can always be with the servants to protect him, and he has more opportunities to appear.

After receiving Wang Zhongde's guarantee, and successfully marrying the Wang family, even his nephew had a way out, Guo Qing had no doubts at the moment, and officially announced that he would accept Hexi's conditions.

A few days later, the Dadu Guardian Shuo, the Governor of Bingzhou, Wang Zhongde, Guo Qing, and other family heads came to the Guo family's manor on the outskirts of Jinyang.

The other children of the family who were waiting here early looked at the high-spirited Dadu Hu with mixed feelings.

Since Guo Qing, the head of the Guo family, decided to cooperate with Hexi, the other families have been uneasy, for fear of being swallowed by Hexi's meat and bones.

Wei Shuo looked around and found that there were many serfs and tenants who depended on the Guo family for survival.

They watched with blank faces as a large crowd of people entered the manor, and from their ragged attire it was evident that the serfs and tenants were living in difficulty.

Guo's manor adopts a small-scale peasant economic model, and in order to maintain intensive farming, a large number of shade households are stored in the manor.

"Greetings to the capital."

"Excuse me."

"Shuo knows that there have been a lot of rumors recently, saying that Hexi has launched some big farm plan, just to deceive the family into handing over the population."

"What exactly is going on, or let the facts speak."

"Today, I will let you see the power of science and technology, and it also proves that Bendu has not deceived everyone."

"Zhongju, let the wheeled heavy plough be lifted up."

Early this morning, Guo Yi took some guards to transport the things he had prepared to the suburbs.

After hearing Daduhu's command, he quickly led the wheeled heavy plough and some horses to the field.

Others look at the heavy plough as completely different from the traditional plough with different thoughts, some with anticipation, others with disdain.

Wei Shuo looked far away and estimated a little that the Guo family's Zhuangzi probably had thousands of acres of land to be cultivated.

"Ahem, everyone, please see, this is the new type of plough, let's see the efficiency of the heavy plow."

The three-horse-drawn wheeled heavy plough was used for the test, which looked very sturdy and stout on the outside.

After finding that there were no mistakes, Wei Shuo gave the order to begin.

The craftsmen immediately stepped forward to install it after receiving the order, and it was evident that they had been trained beforehand.

There is no need for help at all during installation, and the action of loading parts is very skillful.

Guo Qing also watched with relish on the side, although he didn't know how effective the wheeled heavy plow was, but seeing Wei Shuo attaching so much importance to it, he couldn't help but have a little more expectations in his heart.

After the craftsman finished it, he raised his head, glanced at Wei Shuo and said, "Dadu Protection, it's installed!" ”

At this time, one of the guards took the initiative to step forward, stood on top of the plow, and pressed the plough about a foot long and about two feet wide with his weight.

Holding the reins of the horses in both hands, they were ready to plow.

"Most of the protectors, the lowly post will go."

After saying that, the guard flicked the reins, and the three tall horses began to move their muscles and stride after receiving the order.

The guards stood on top of the plow, trying to keep their balance.

At first he did not pull the reins too tightly, and saw the three large horses stride forward calmly, gradually increasing their speed.

The children of the families who had been staring at the horses and plows on the ridges of the ground were quickly stunned by its speed, and they all looked incredulous.

In their opinion, the horse ploughs at least ten times faster than normal oxen, if not more than twenty times.

In the blink of an eye, the guards and horses gradually turned into a dot, and the mouths of everyone present were surprised that they never closed.

What kind of arable land is this! It's just a sight to hear!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone present would not have dared to believe that there would be such a fast speed of plowing land in this world.

Guo Qing came to Wei Shuo's side, his mouth trembling.

"Big ...... Dadu protect, this ...... This horse...... The horse-drawn plough is simply ...... Too...... It's so fast! ”

"It's fleeting, it's not just a hundred acres a day, it's a thousand acres a day!"

"With this weapon, even if the population is sparse, it is not a big deal, and it is completely possible to reclaim all the barren land in the state."

"It won't be long before Bingzhou will become a world-famous granary, and there will never be a shortage of food again."

"What the head of the Guo family said is very true, Sanjin is flat and vast, sparsely populated, and it is very suitable for promoting large farms."

While the crowd was whispering, the guards had already run far away in the plough.

When he turned around and saw that he could no longer see the figure, he hurriedly manipulated the reins in his hand, adjusted his speed, and made a turn.

When I turned the corner, there was a little accident.

Because both men and horses were in battle for the first time, their movements were a little rusty, so there was a collision and almost knocked people down.

Fortunately, the guard was born in cavalry and was good at controlling war horses, but I saw him constantly shaking the reins and signaling the horses to be obedient.

After a while, I managed to turn around, and then I picked up speed and rushed back.

As soon as the guards arrived, before the horses could stop, a large number of people surrounded them.

As if worshipping the treasure of the fairy family, everyone carefully looked at the wheeled heavy plow.

"Heads of the family, most of them didn't deceive everyone, did they?"

"This is what you have seen with your own eyes, with this speed of ploughing, one person is enough to withstand a hundred and ten people in the past."

Wang Zhongde and Wei Shuo glanced at each other and continued: "I might as well tell you, in fact, this is nothing. ”

"There is also a set of five-horse heavy ploughs in the Hexi Ink Engineering School, so it's called a fast!"

"And there are threshing machines, harvesters, etc., all of which can be propelled by cattle and horse hydropower, and the efficiency is much stronger than that of manual labor."

After everyone recovered from the shock, Wei Shuo stood up and said: "This wheeled heavy plough can be mass-produced and can definitely meet everyone's needs." ”

"Do you still have any questions about the big farm plan proposed by Hexi?"

"Dadu Hu, I heard that Hexi has set a rule, only some remote states and counties such as Liaodong and Bingzhou are allowed to occupy fields?"

"Yes, the Central Plains and Hebei have a large population and limited land resources, and I will never allow anyone to enclose land in these places, and once discovered, the whole clan will be wiped out."

"Don't think that remote states and counties are barren land, in fact, some places are not as fertile as the Central Plains, but there is a lack of people to run them."

"Shuo hopes that you and the family can act as a pioneer and provide a good example for the transformation of the family in the future."

"I know that the family has money, but I don't want you to use all your wealth to occupy land and keep slaves."

"As the elite of this era, you should have more pursuits."

"Pursuit? What pursuit? ”

"Do you know what's the most popular in Hexi right now?"

Wei Shuo didn't answer the rhetorical question, and then without waiting for everyone to answer, he asked himself and replied: "It's knowledge!" Especially the craftsmanship! ”

"Craftsmanship? It's just a trick and a trick, and there's something worth pursuing. The famous man of the first family said disdainfully.

"Tricks?"

"You can know that it is precisely by relying on strange skills and ingenuity that the Hexi Army has come to this day step by step."

"Huanghuang Dajin has always despised strange tricks, but what is the result? The country was destroyed by Hulu! ”

"Bendu Hu reminded you here, if anyone in Hexi dares to preach and despise the idea of Baigong, I will definitely punish him for the Nine Clans."

There was a bang, and the scene was in an uproar.

All the children of the family didn't expect that they were just habitually despising Baigong, and they were strongly backlashed by Dadu Hu.

The guy who ridiculed the skills of a hundred craftsmen just now was so frightened that he was paralyzed to the ground, trembling all over.

"The conditions for Hexi have been laid out, and the Guo family and the Wang family have also agreed to accept the reorganization, as for the rest of the families, ......"

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo glanced at everyone with his gaze, and his tone suddenly became stern.

"Three days, I'll only wait for three days, and after three days, you will either join Hexi or get out!"

With the support of the Guo and Wang families, Wei Shuo has long lost patience with the small and medium-sized families in front of him.

Most of the others looked impatient when they saw it, knowing that the other party was angry.

At present, the people no longer dare to object, and they have expressed their willingness to hand over the population and agree to implement the big farm plan.
