Chapter 367: Diesel Engine

For Datang, farming is definitely the foundation of people's livelihood and the cornerstone of the country.

It's just that although Li Er has always encouraged Nongsang, the result is very bad. The reason why I say this is because of natural disasters for many years, and on the other hand, because of the backwardness of farming methods.

If it is said that digging a pit in the ground by hand and then throwing a few seeds in it is even cultivation, then Qin Ze simply thinks that any farmer in the future can also mix with a big farmer when he comes here.

So when Qin Ze saw the best field that Lu Xianling had divided for himself, he didn't feel a chill in his heart.

Not to mention the soil compaction, the color of the land is also gray-yellow, and it can be directly raised into sand by rubbing it with your hands.

After thousands of years of farming, the land here has become extremely barren. Especially in this situation without fertilizer support, it becomes even more unbearable.

In this way, the grasslands of the Turkic steppes are better. As for the soil here, Qin Ze didn't know how the people survived.

At first, when he heard that only one stone of one acre of land can be harvested, Qin Ze still didn't believe it, but now that he looked at this field, he suddenly realized that it was also God's favor to have one stone.

Qin Ze frowned and looked at the field carefully. The snow has melted above, and the deep soil is still well hydrated, which is a good sign for a good harvest next year. However, there was still a thick layer of dead grass growing on it, and he looked at Qin Ze helplessly for a while. You don't have to think about it to know that if you wait until next spring, eighty percent of the grass here is deeper than the crops.

Qin Ze stood up, and the servants who followed behind him also stepped forward without saying a word, and quickly lit them on the ground with torches.

Seeing this, Lu Xianling, on the other side, also hurriedly stopped: "Master Hou can't do it, can't do it." When the fire burns, not only does the ground become harder, but the grass grows deeper and deeper. ”

He was right, if the field was not turned over, it would only make the shallow-rooted weeds more and more vigorous.

Or where did the phrase "wildfires burn inexhaustibly, but spring breezes blow and regenerate" come from?

Qin Ze waved his hand, signaling that the Lu County Order did not need to stop it, but frowned and asked, "How many cows are there in our county?" ”

The thick withered grass burned unscrupulously with the help of the wind and fire, and suddenly half of the sky was red.

Those who were still working in the fields also rushed over. I thought there was a fire or something here, and they shouted loudly one by one.

The second tiger and the reckless cow were in high spirits and were shuttling through the fire. Because of this fire, hares and pheasants, who had been sleeping soundly, also began to flee for their lives.

At this moment, they caught dozens of them, and the children who were originally standing on the side to watch the excitement were also impatient. Just follow the two of them, and pounce on the rabbit whenever it sees it.

The second tiger and the mangniu are also happy to be surrounded by people, as long as they catch the hare, they will throw it directly behind them. Immediately, a group of children surrounded and robbed, which made it so lively.

Seeing this, Lu Xian Ling could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and first calmed the people who surrounded him, so that they didn't have to worry. Then he frowned and replied to Qin Zedao: "The land in Jingyang County was originally relatively barren, coupled with the relocation of personnel. Therefore, there are only about 300 cows in the county now. ”

"So little?" Qin Ze was also stunned, such a big Jingyang County, what can these three hundred cows do.

Let's not talk about how many acres of land there are in Jingyang County, let's just say that with the current plough, you need at least two cows to plow one acre of land. Moreover, it is extremely complicated to operate, and even the cultivated land is extremely shallow, which does not have much impact on weeds at all.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh, if he wants to make achievements in farming, then this plough must be improved, otherwise, even if he has the ability, there is no way to face such a land.

When Qin Ze remembered the Tang Dynasty, there was a Quyuan plow, but when he asked Lu County, the other party shook his head.

This thought is also understood, it is still the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and that thing must have to wait for several decades. There was no way for Qin Ze to ask for help from the system, but Qin Ze himself only knew the name of this thing, but he didn't know anything about the structure.

"How much does the system cost to redeem a design drawing for a curved plow?"

"According to the system's evaluation of the Quyuan plow, the host needs to pay two wish points."

The system doesn't give in at all in terms of wish value. Although the wish value that you need to pay after the upgrade is greatly reduced, the ordinary one is only a little wish value. But for these things, it is still relatively expensive.

"Two is two." Qin Ze sighed and agreed directly.

At the moment when he agreed, another blood-red number appeared in front of Qin Ze. Eighty-two is Qin Ze's entire net worth now, but after making this decision, eighty-two began to collapse, and finally scattered a part of it and integrated into Qin Ze's head. And the rest becomes eighty.

Soon Qin Ze's design drawings of Quyuan Plough appeared in his mind, a total of eleven parts. What kind of ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, pressing the plough and the like, Qin Ze also has a big head.

At the moment, I also felt that these two wishes were worth it, but after thinking about it, I still asked the system: "What is the mechanism of the evaluation of wish points?" ”

This is what Qin Ze wants to know the most, although Qin Ze also has some guesses in his heart, he still wants to get an accurate answer.

Last time in Lingzhou City, Qin Ze wanted to exchange Xue Rengui's peerless archery technique, but the system directly asked for ten points, but if it was only exchanged for the use of three arrows, it only needed a little wish value.

In other words, the system not only evaluates the importance of the exchanged item, but also the permanent one is more expensive than the one-time one.

The system's answer also confirmed Qin Ze's thoughts, but hearing him say this, Qin Ze's heart was also moved, and then asked, "What if I want to exchange for a diesel engine?" ”

"One hundred wishes."

Qin Ze pursed his lips, not surprised at all. If the system is really so generous, Qin Ze still uses it to waste his brain for a small Qu Yuan plow?

The craftsmen found by Lu Xianling are also highly skilled people, although Qin Ze was a mechanical major before, if he really wants him to explain in the way of this era, it is difficult to go to the sky.

I had no choice but to draw a simple diagram and three views. The result was not bad, at least the other party nodded in response.

After solving the problem of plows, Qin Ze still had to solve the problem of barren land. In this era, the source of fertilizer is extremely scarce, and there is no need to think about animal manure, unless Qin Ze can ask for the manure of the entire Chang'an.

It's just that it's better to kill him than this, even if he is beaten to death, he doesn't want to do this.

Since he couldn't get feces, Qin Ze had no choice but to set his sights on the Jing River that passed through the county. The silt in this river is arguably the best fertilizer for nature, especially if no one has ever dug it up.

Just do it, the biggest advantage of being a Hou Ye is that you can do whatever you want in the fiefdom. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still free, Qin Ze directly mobilized the people of the entire Jingyang County to dig the Jing River.

Of course, Qin Ze is not the kind of person who will let the people work in vain, and one end of this Jing River is connected to the Furong Canal in Chang'an City. And because of the extremely abundant rain last year, the Jing River also burst its banks several times.

The Ministry of Industry has also played several times to recruit farmers to clean up the mud. But at that time, Datang was busy dealing with the Turks, so naturally he didn't have the energy to do this.

Since the Cui family had already pretended to be a victim, Qin Ze naturally wanted to be disgusted again.

So a letter was written to Li Er, and the matter of cleaning up the river silt was continued. Qin Ze's thankless approach also made the entire court feel comfortable. It is said that this Jingyang Hou finally retreated from the difficulties and chose to compromise with the family.

But Qin Ze ignored it, received the documents from the Ministry of Industry, and with a thousand yuan of money, he excitedly mobilized the people of the entire fiefdom.

A thousand yuan is really a pitiful amount, even if it is used to buy food, it is not enough. But Qin Ze was still complacent, because this time he got the silt of the Jing River and the Furong Canal for three years.

What does this mean?

This means that within three years, Qin Ze will no longer have to worry about the fertilizer of the land, and it may even double the output of the entire Jingyang County.

Qin Ze never explained much, what he liked to watch the most was those who were self-righteous slapping their faces.

It's just that I didn't expect those people to come, but they waited for Tang Jian. This time, he didn't take the salted fish again, but the expression on his face was a little weird.

Without alarming Qin Ze, Tang Jian took his old slave and stood far away on the edge of the Jing River.

This time, Qin Ze's approach did surprise His Majesty a little, and even everyone thought that Qin Ze was admitting defeat.

Everyone thinks that Qin Ze can dig for ten days and a half at most, but he has been digging for a month.

This made His Majesty a little unable to sit still, you must know that a thousand yuan can't support it at all, and it is also for fear that Qin Ze is deducting the people of the fiefdom, so Tang Jian also came.

Standing on the edge of the river, Tang Jian looked at the mighty crowd in front of him, but he was suddenly stunned.

The men were pushing the carts, talking and laughing all the way, and they didn't see any crying at all.

The peasant women were not to be left behind, and they were also two people pushing carts and walking happily on the road. Especially the half-grown children who are still around them are also carrying backpacks.

Tang Jian was shocked and stretched out his hand to stop a child. I deliberately pulled out the back basket and stretched out my head to look, but I was relieved to find that there was only a shallow layer inside.

He was afraid that Qin Ze would pour his anger on these people, but now it seems to be a happy scene.

When the child saw that he was being stopped, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly pushed Tang Jian and shouted: "Why don't you have long eyes, don't you see that I am picking up river mud for Hou Ye?" ”

Tang Jian was not annoyed when he was scolded, but let go of his hand with a smile and asked, "Which family's Hou Ye is so domineering that he actually asked this kid to pick up river mud for him?" ”

When the kid heard Tang Jian say this, he was also anxious. Pointing at Tang Jian angrily, he said, "Our Hou Ye manages us three meals a day, why can't we pick them?" But you, a wicked man with a long beard, slandered my lord in plain terms. Hum! ”

The child slammed on Tang Jian's feet, and then ran away in a huff.
