Chapter 62: The Inventor of Farm Tools

Hearing what Lu Kagawa said, Liu Zhi and He Cai nodded frequently, Lin Yi's arrival is a force, their current strength is weak, it must be a good thing for someone to join in, how could the two of them not welcome it?

Although in terms of background, Lin Yi is a thief, but the two of them are no better, Liu Zhi is a homeless, why is it? It was originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban, who was nobler than whom?

Seeing that they did not have prejudices against each other, Ritsu Kagawa said: "There were hundreds of people in Huoying Ridge, and I promised Lin Su'er that if she could let her brother vote, I would return all his men and horses to him." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that Lin Yizhen is here, then I have to fulfill my original promise, can you two promise me? ”

Those people in Huoying Ridge, after they were confiscated at that time, were scattered and incorporated into Liu Zhi He Cai's team, and now if Liu Zhi He Cai wants to spit people out again, of course Ritsu Kagawa has to discuss with them.

In fact, Ritsu Kagawa had already told Liu Zhi and He Cai about this at that time, so the two of them couldn't say anything now. Moreover, Liu Zhihe saw that Lin Yi was also a talent, and he had a good impression in his heart. They will not object to Ritsu Kagawa's statement.

What's more, although Lu Xiangchuan deliberately made a raw attitude towards Lin Su'er everywhere, as if there was nothing between the two of them, no one with a discerning eye could see that Lin Su'er was likely to become the general's wife in the future.

With this level of relationship, Lin Yi will be Ritsu Kagawa's eldest brother in the future. Now Ritsu Kagawa is asking them for someone for his eldest brother, can they still give it?

With these reasons, after listening to Ritsu Kagawa's words, Liu Zhihe said: "Everything depends on the adults."

Look at them all so happy. Ritsukagawa was also very happy, and he said to the three of them, "Since you all agree, then it's decided!" Hurry up and get these things done by yourself, the reclamation matter is still chasing us! ”

As soon as he spoke, he waved his hand and let them go down. They can do it themselves, and Ritsukagawa doesn't have to be involved.

Watching Liu Zhihe leave with Lin Yi, Ritsu Xiangchuan suddenly felt that his head didn't seem to hurt as much as yesterday, and when he touched the back of his head with his hand, the big bag from yesterday was gone. It seems that his body is recovering quickly, and some minor injuries are not a problem for him at all.

When his health was better, Lin Yi came to vote again, which made Ritsu Kagawa very happy. After breakfast, Ritsukagawa went to the system to replace a few chickens. But this time, he didn't replace the Missouri big yellow chicken, but a very ordinary native chicken, which was not so big.

After the replacement, he didn't bother to take care of these chickens, but went out to find Liu Zhihe. Yesterday he asked them to collect all kinds of farm tools, and he knew that there were some, but he still had to see them himself to make sure he knew what to do.

When they arrived at Liu Zhi's side, He Cai, Lin and Liu Zhi were all there, and they had probably already paid for the manpower, and they were sitting together and chatting at the moment. Seeing Ritsu Kagawa coming, the three of them saluted respectfully. Ritsukagawa waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, I'm here to check the preparation of your farm tools, and they will be used soon, where are they?" Let me see, see what the bottom is rotting about? ”

He heard Liu Zhi talk about it yesterday, so he came to check it out. These preparations are not done carefully. Yanagi Nao heard Ritsu Kagawa say this, so he said, "The farm tools are all here, just come and see it."

As he spoke, he led Ritsukagawa to a corner of the courtyard, and dozens of farm tools were placed on the ground. Ritsukagawa walked over and saw that they were all hoes, sickles, ploughshares, and other farm tools. All of them are rusty, and there are few of them intact.

Not only are the iron parts rusty, but the wooden handles are also decayed and loose. If you take it out and use it like this, how is the labor efficiency, do you need to talk about it?

"Why don't you replace the rotten wooden handle with a new one?" Ritsu Kagawa asked. The main weapon is ironwork, which is difficult to renovate for a while, and the wooden handle is easy to reinstall, so why not replace it? This made Ritsukagawa a little angry, so he said.

Liu Zhi replied: "Preparations are underway, and there are many of them that have been replaced with new handles, and these are not all."

Ritsukagawa nodded, this is about the same. However, looking at these farm tools, the flat hoe is the most, and there are also four or five tooth nail rakes, but there are no two-tooth heavy rakes. Ritsu Kagawa asked, "Why didn't you see a heavy rake?" The two-tooth heavy rake reclamation is the most competent, only the hoe, the waste of energy! ”

The hoe is not a tool for reclamation, it is only suitable for cultivating cooked soil. When Liu Zhi and the others heard him ask, their eyes widened and they didn't know what he was talking about?

"Why didn't you ever know there was a two-toothed harrow?" Seeing their appearance, Ritsukagawa thought of this possibility. The development of agricultural tools by the ancients, many later generations thought that they were very ordinary agricultural tools, and this era did not exist!

Sure enough, after listening to Ritsu Kagawa's question, Liu Zhithey shook their heads blankly, looking puzzled.

Ritsu Kagawa could only feel helpless. He must make the second tooth of the era appear, because they are now facing a major test of reclamation. It's a long and huge project, and the tools you need to do can save a lot of energy. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, which is an eternal truth.

Ritsu Kagawa simply drew a pattern of a two-toothed heavy harrow on the ground, and said to Liu Zhi and others: "Melt down some old farm tools and create a batch of such heavy rakes, which requires more iron, and the weight is twice that of an ordinary hoe." That's the graphics, it's easy to make. ”

Liu Zhi and the others saw the heavy rake with only two long fangs he drew in the open space, and asked, "My lord, is this a heavy rake?" But is this farm tool any good? ”

Yes, with only two tusk-like teeth, is such a farm tool really useful?

Ritsukagawa smiled, "Is it really easy to use?" Don't believe me, whoever uses it knows. ”

In fact, the heavy harrow is useless in the cultivation of the whole agriculture, and its appearance is only for reclamation, if it is other work to repair and hoe the grass, the heavy harrow will not be of much use.

Liu Zhi and the others listened to Ritsu Kagawa's words, and they were skeptical, because they had never used this kind of farm tool, so of course they would not believe it much in their hearts. But this was said by Ritsu Kagawa, and his words were orders. Liu Zhi still ordered someone to take some iron tools that really couldn't be used and go to the blacksmith in the army.

In addition to the hoe and sickle and other farm tools, Ritsukagawa went to look for a rake, but he didn't see it. The plough harrow does not play a role in clearing the land. Many people think that the plough is a public tool for turning the soil, and they think that the plough can be used to reclaim the wasteland, but this idea is very wrong.

It is a modern agricultural machine, when it encounters a wasteland full of grass, it can only look at the ocean and sigh, and after removing these weeds, agricultural machinery can show its strength on the wasteland. Not to mention the primitive ox plough.

If you really want to forcibly use a plow to open up the land, the iron plough doesn't know how much to scrap, and most of them are still wood ape plows at this time in ancient times. It's only going to get worse.

However, after the pioneering, the plough rake was indispensable for farming, so there was no trace of the plow rake, and Ritsukagawa asked again: "Why don't you see a few plow rakes?"

Liu Zhi said: "Plough rake, there is! Isn't that what it is? ”

As he spoke, he brought him a wooden frame with an elegant form, and Ritsu Kagawa looked left and right, only to realize that it was a plow.

This is a straight plough that Liu Zhi carried, and it was a wooden plow. Most of what Ritsukagawa later generations saw was a curved plough or an iron plow. He was quite unfamiliar with the straight plow, just looking at its shape, slowly restoring it from his mind, he was able to piece together a plow that Liu Zhi brought him.

Of course, the straight plow is not as flexible and efficient as the curved plow. Ritsu Kagawa sighed in his heart, thinking that he would have to invent the Quyuan plough again in this era.

And what about the horizontal rake? Ritsukagawa found that this era was not at all. After saying it several times, Liu Zhidu brought him some tooth rakes. What a five-tooth rake and a nine-tooth harrow, that is, there is no horizontal harrow.

Why were the working people of ancient times so stupid? Ritsu Kagawa couldn't help but complain.

Something that seems to him to be easy to invent, why did it take tens of hundreds of years in ancient times to improve? However, the book also says that the ancient ancestors were a group of hardworking, brave and intelligent people, which is simply a shame.

Of course, this kind of thought, after his irritability passed, he knew that he was unreasonable.
