Chapter 217: The Study of the Qu Yuan Plow
On the second day, when Lu Ye came to the prison, Hu Zuo hurriedly sent someone to call Lu Ye over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the juvenile prison room, the look on Hu Zuo's face was a little hesitant, and finally asked, "Zihang...... I heard Jin Xin and them say, you gave them some guidance on the technical transformation of the plough rake in the 100 Gongjian yesterday? ”
Lu Ye nodded when he heard this: "Yes...... Some humble ...... were mentioned. ”
Hu Zuo's face was a little dark, he looked at Lu Ye, and finally let out a long sigh: "You are in the recording room now, can you do things smoothly?" ”
Lu Ye didn't know what Hu Zuo wanted to do, so he nodded: "It's good, a few colleagues are very helpful." ”
Hu Zuo nodded, and then said, "It's okay, I won't go around the bend with you." I called you here today because of what you said yesterday about transforming ......the plough and harrow. ”
"Huh? Don't you think it's okay for adults? ”
"Not really, I didn't call you here today, not to make you give up that idea. I just want to confirm with you, if you change as you say, how much convenience do you think it will bring us in the end? I've heard Jin Xin say it, but since you brought it up by Zihang, maybe it's better to ask you. Hu Zuo said to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye said: "That's just something ...... casually said." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by nonsense.
"Zihang, there are only you and me here now, I know that you have the ability, otherwise Xun Sikong would not have put you in our prison. Meng De's new paper proves your ability. Although papermaking and farming tools are not the same thing, but I think that since you said it, it will definitely not be untargeted. Hu Zuo said.
Lu Ye hurriedly said: "Zihang didn't mean ...... that. ”
Just kidding, annoying nonsense, even if his backstage is Xun Yu, there will be a lot of trouble.
"I just don't think the idea was very mature, that's why I said that."
Hu Zuo's eyes shone brightly: "Then Zihang, do you have any mature ideas?" ”
In fact, the reason why Hu Zuo let Lu Ye come here today was of course because he listened to what Jin Xin and the other craftsmen said before.
For the transformation of new things, in fact, Hu Zuo does not have much enthusiasm.
When they got to their position, they were thinking more about how to maintain the status quo safely, as long as nothing happened, when they got out of their qualifications, they would retire steadily from the position of Jiuqing.
It's just that in the heart of Hu Zuo, he also has a heart that wants to be promoted.
He may not know much about these affairs, but Jin Xin's convincing appearance yesterday really moved Hu Zuo's heart, and Hu Zuo knew that these old craftsmen would never be untargeted.
But the emergence of a new thing will always be controversial at the beginning, and Hu Zuo is worried that once the new plough is not favored by everyone, he will let himself sit on wax. So I thought about asking Lu Ye carefully.
To put it simply, you want to make a difference, but you don't want to take risks.
When the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was held, if the things that Lu Ye transformed did not play the role he should play, when the time came, he would be held accountable, and of course he would have to take the blame.
Lu Ye knew what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile at the moment: "This can only be explored slowly, I just have an idea in my head." But if it happens, it will be possible to change the current farming situation. ”
At the very least, the Quyuan plow can increase the efficiency of current farming by nearly one-third. This is a one-third increase in efficiency, which means that the time spent on three acres of land can now be cultivated on four acres. The entire Xudu, and even the entire Yanzhou, if there is a Quyuan plow, whether it is reclamation or other things, it will be of great help.
This is also the reason why Hu Zuo wants to confirm with Lu Ye.
If you can be sure that the return of this thing is high enough, Hu Zuo thinks it is okay to take a risk.
And Lu Ye's current answer obviously does not satisfy Hu Zuo.
"Just fumbling?" Hu Zuo asked with a frown. One-third of the efficiency, enough to make Hu Zuo's heart moved, if you can really make the Quyuan plow, and popularize, then it will be a good thing in the present and in the future.
Not to mention a young eunuch who will be a prisoner, even if a civilian makes such a thing, it will definitely go down in history at that time.
Lu Ye nodded, Lu Ye knew the principle of Quyuan Plow, but Lu Ye was not very sure in his heart whether this thing could be made, after all, it was impossible for Lu Ye to do it himself, and whether other people could realize their ideas, Lu Ye was not very sure in his heart.
Of course, there must be more to think about in order to do nonsense.
At this time, with a smile on his face, he said to Lu Ye: "Let it go, I will give you this right." ”
"Now you don't have to meddle in the affairs of the recording room, I'll let the others solve it. Your biggest task now is to make this plough with Jin Xin and put it into practice, you can tell me whatever help you need, and I will give you the help you deserve when the time comes. Hu Zuo said.
Lu Ye was a little stunned when he heard this: "I'll do it?" ”
"Yes, you put forward this idea, Jin Xin They still don't understand this thing, if you don't do it, who else can you let do it?" Nonsense.
"But ......."
"Nothing more, let it go, I believe you! You go directly to the Baigong Supervisor, which is also the idea put forward by Jin Xin and me. If you had passed, they would have developed it a little faster. "Nonsense.
Lu Ye could only smile bitterly and nodded,
After making this kind of thing, the benefits of the quyuan plow certainly outweigh the disadvantages. Lu Ye is also willing to try.
Hu Zuo nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave this matter to Zihang, don't let me down." ”
"The lower officials will do their best!"
"Okay, then you can go directly to the Hundred Workers' Supervisor."
In fact, Hu Zuo didn't promise Lu Ye anything at all, but Lu Ye didn't care. Once something like Qu Yuan plough is made, Hu Zuo can't eat it if he wants to, but he has Xun Yu's support behind him, even if Hu Zuo gets this credit, he may not be able to compare with Xun Yu. So it should be Lu Ye's credit, or Lu Ye's. Don't worry about that.
Lu Ye said goodbye to nonsense, and went straight to the Baigong Prison, Jin Xin's old craftsmen had been looking forward to it at this time, and there was a backlog of confusion in their hearts waiting for Lu Ye to solve.
