After lunch, the three little guys surrounded Wu Yuanqing to play poker. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Well, as for why it's always after lunch, it's obvious that Wu Yuanqing always spends his morning in sleep, and if something happens to him in the morning, it can only depend on luck and mood.

As soon as he sat next to Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang began to complain that the class was boring, saying that Mr. would only shake his head, and the lecture was boring, he couldn't listen to it, and he was dizzy.

Wu Yuanqing glanced at him and said lightly: "Why, it's only been a few days since you were stable, and you're going to make trouble again, right?"

Wu Yuanshuang retorted unhappily: "Big brother, I'm not doing trouble, I just can't figure it out, why do I have to study, as far as our family's situation is concerned, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, is it necessary to study?" Is it necessary? ”

"Do you know Xie Xuan" Wu Yuanqing didn't answer this question, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"You know, the military strategist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An's nephew, the one who won the Battle of Weishui. Big brother, it's too underestimated for you to ask this question," Wu Yuanshuang said.

"Then do you know what Zhilan Yushu means," Wu Yuanqing then asked.

"Well, this.... I don't know" Wu Yuanshuang was dumbfounded.

Wu Yuanqing smiled and said: "This is an allusion idiom, a metaphor for a child who has both ability and political integrity. Most of the courtiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were members of the Wang and Xie families. The Wang and Xie families are not only nobles, but also very famous nobles. Xie An of the Xie family was the prime minister in charge of the Jin Dynasty at that time, and he paid great attention to cultivating future generations. This allusion is a conversation between Xie An and his nephew Xie Xuan. The original words were that Mrs. Xie asked his sons and nephews: "How can the children also make personnel and want to make them better?" "No one has a word. The rider replied, "For example, the Zhilan Yushu wants to be born in the courtyard steps." Speaking of this, Wu Yuanqing listened to it, and saw that the three little guys were listening carefully, so he continued.

Translated into the vernacular, one day, Mrs. Xie An Xie asked his children and nephews: "Our family is so powerful now, why do you need to ask about political affairs, why do you always want to train you to become excellent children?" Everyone didn't speak, only the cavalry general Xie Xuan replied: "This is like the Zhilan jade tree, I always want them to grow in my own yard!" ”。

After speaking, Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Yuanshuang meaningfully and asked, "Now you understand why I let you study." ”

"I understand, even if our family doesn't need me to do anything, I should study hard and be a person with both ability and political integrity, just like Zhilan Yushu, good things should stay in my own home, right, big brother" Wu Yuanshuang said excitedly, and looked at the eldest brother expectantly after speaking, waiting for praise.

Wu Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and then slapped his younger brother on the head: "That's right, I especially mean that you don't read more so that you won't be so ignorant, so that you won't know what it means after I asked Zhilan Yushu, so that you won't be able to figure out what I'm talking about when I want to talk nonsense with you, you stupid, idiot, illiterate." ”

The more Wu Yuanqing spoke, the more angry he became, so he simply kicked it directly, kicking Wu Yuanshuang with his head and running away.

The eldest girl and the second girl, I originally saw the eldest brother asking the second brother a serious question, and he was talking about the second brother's study, and I felt that such a big brother was so strict. Who knows, the style of painting changed too quickly, and the two little girls didn't turn the corner for a while. The first time I came back to my senses, I hugged my stomach and laughed uncontrollably.

Seeing that the two younger sisters were laughing and almost out of breath, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly stopped and helped them pat their backs, and did not forget to scold hatefully, "It's terrible to be uneducated."

After laughing, Wu Yuanshuang lowered his eyebrows and carefully sat beside Wu Yuanqing, and the two little girls sat opposite, looking at the second brother from time to time, and then covering their mouths and snickering.

"Now you know the importance of reading," Wu Yuanqing asked with a cold face.

Wu Yuanshuang lowered his head and whispered: "I know, big brother, I will definitely study hard in the future."

"I don't know if I don't go, I'm waiting to be beaten."

Wu Yuanshuang ran away.

Looking at the scared younger brother, Wu Yuanqing shook his head with a smile, and then said to the two younger sisters who pursed their lips and snickered: "What I said to your second brother just now, although there is an element of joke, it is also the words of the eldest brother. Big brother wants you to remember. Although it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but the young lady of a large family you see is illiterate. Which is not read and literate from an early age. Closer to home, read more books so that you can have a common language with others. In the long run, when you get married, you will not be deceived by the people below when you are in charge, and the evil slave will not bully the master. ”

"I know that big brother, we will study hard, we will go to study now." The eldest girl said, and the second girl also nodded beside her, and was about to get up and go back to the room after speaking.

Wu Yuanqing hurriedly stopped the two, "Don't be in a hurry about reading, children must learn to combine work and rest." Your task now is to play cards with your eldest brother, otherwise, how will you spend the afternoon."

"Ah.....h

"Ahh

Wu Yuanqing, who was pulling his two younger sisters to play cards, ignored the disdainful eyes of the two little guys.

The words that I had just spoken earnestly were like farts, drifting away in the wind.

======================================

As soon as the two little guys played cards, they forgot what they had promised their eldest brother that they would study hard. An hour later, Wu Yuanqing didn't want to play anymore, and the two little guys were still entangled, and finally they were driven away by Wu Yuanqingsheng.

I don't know if this is a ready-made example of self-inflicted iniquity.

In the following time, Wu Yuanqing ran to the blacksmith shop again, although Lao Li Tou followed Ah Fu to Chang'an, but there were still other blacksmiths.

It's been ten days since I got the corn and potatoes, and it's time for spring ploughing. But when Wu Yuanqing asked people to prepare farming tools, they found that they were still using a straight plough at this time. In later generations, their family used a curved plow for farming, which should not have been invented at this time.

At this time, the straight plough is very cumbersome, difficult to turn, and laborious to plough the land.

Compared with it, there are several major improvements. First of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also is convenient to turn around and turn, the operation is flexible, and the manpower and livestock are saved.

Among them, the increase of plough evaluation and plough construction, such as advancing the plough evaluation, can make the plough arrow downward, and the ploughshare into the soil is deep. If the plough is raised, the plough arrow is upward, and the ploughshare is shallow when it enters the soil. The organic combination of plough evaluation, plough arrow and plough construction can adapt to the different requirements of deep ploughing or shallow tillage, and can standardize the adjustment of cultivated land depth, which is convenient for intensive cultivation. The plough wall not only breaks the soil, but also pushes the ploughed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plough forward.

At this time, the main animal power used in cultivated land is to plough cattle, of course, poor people can't afford cattle, so they can only pull it by hand, so they can be tired to death when planting some land, and they can't plough deeply. It is precisely because of the importance of ploughing cattle that the situation of the law stipulates that the slaughter of ploughing cattle is not allowed, and violators are punished with heavy penalties and imprisonment. Even the princes and ministers did not dare to blatantly kill the cow, and if they wanted to eat beef, they had to think of some reason for dying, falling to death, breaking their legs, etc., just like that, they still had to be fined.

Because of its lightness and flexible operation, the curved plough can not only plough cattle, but also mules and donkeys. And without these livestock, manpower can be pulled more easily.

Therefore, with the Quyuan plow, it can be said that it can greatly improve the level of farming, and has extremely far-reaching historical and social significance.

Wu Yuanqing came to the blacksmith shop with the drawings he had drawn, and asked the blacksmiths in the workshop to make a zigyuan plough for himself. The rest of the blacksmiths were all apprentices taught by Lao Li Tou, and their skills were good, and when Wu Yuanqing asked a carpenter to finish the wooden frame of the plow, they had all finished the parts.

It was installed in a hurry, and a horse was brought in, and the rope was put on the horse, and the plough was attached. Wu Yuanqing started the experiment in the backyard of the blacksmith shop. Back and forth a few times, adjusted the plow evaluation and plow construction, and looked at the depth of the plow. I tried the activity of the plow pan again, and saw that it was convenient to turn around and turn, and the operation was flexible.

Yes, well done, Wu Yuanqing praised a few words, and then the blacksmiths each rewarded one or two pieces of silver.

This is not stingy, one or two pieces of silver is a lot, which is already a huge amount of money. At this time, a bucket of rice is about three or four cents, one or two pieces of silver is a thousand wen, and it is more than two hundred buckets when converted into rice, if it is calculated by catties, it is nearly two thousand catties, which is almost a ton of rice, so much rice is enough for an ordinary family of 10 to eat for a year.

Being able to buy so much rice shows how amazing the purchase strength of these two pieces of silver is. If you calculate according to the current price of rice, buying rice, it is generally three yuan and five pounds, and it will cost more than 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. In the Tang Dynasty, what was eaten was not rice, it was generally millet, and in modern times, it was at least five or six yuan a pound to buy millet, and SX Qinzhou yellow millet was even more expensive. That's one tael of silver, which is equivalent to more than 10,000 yuan now.

When the blacksmiths saw that the eldest young master was so generous, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly thanked them.

Wu Yuanqing waved his hand and said with a smile If you want to say thank you, then hurry up and do more, and you will be in urgent need of spring ploughing.

The blacksmiths were eager to make a military order, and said that they would make enough plows when the eldest young master used it.

Seeing that the blacksmiths were full of energy, Wu Yuanqing was satisfied and left with Qu Yuan plow.

returned to the carpenter non-stop, and the carpenter had already done the rake that Wu Yuanqing wanted. The rake can be used not only to rake the ground, but also to be used as a weapon, and there is a place for it in the eighteen weapons. At this time, the rake was the same as the nine-tooth nail rake used by Zhu Bajie. However, this one that Wu Yuanqing asked the carpenter to do is different from this rake.

The rake he made was made of pure wood. It is made of elastic branches. It's like a basket, but it's a rectangular board. Then one end is used to tie the rope, and the other end is the branches upturned up and down. It is used to crush clods of soil and level the ground.

Harrowing with this kind of harrow is a kind of topsoil tillage, which is usually carried out after ploughing, before sowing or when preserving moisture in early spring, and has the effects of loosening the soil, retaining water, and improving soil temperature.

With these two things, Wu Yuanqing's spring ploughing plan can start smoothly.
