Some people will think that if you have the strength to plow the land, what is the difficulty of farming...... Don't say it, it's just not easy!

Everyone knew that the Hetao Plain was a treasure land, and Lao Wen also ran away happily, but when he saw it, his nose was almost crooked.

Xixia also farmed here, but the problem is that their way of farming is completely slash-and-burn, make a flat land, sprinkle seeds, and then leave it alone, and when it is harvested, it is good to have dozens of catties of an acre of land, almost no more than one stone, you must know that the best water to irrigate the land, in the hands of the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty, can produce 3 stone of grain.

The difference is too great!

Lao Wen knew that he really had a specialization in the art industry, and he didn't give up, so he sent someone to supervise the work, supervise and supervise the ploughing, ploughing, sowing, weeding, and even irrigation and harvesting.

After tossing around, it did increase production somewhat, but the situation is still not optimistic.

Wen Yanbo sent people to the field to see it, and he was even more furious.

At the time of the autumn harvest, the slaves were given a sickle and told them to cut the ears of wheat, but they did not bend down, but cut off the upper part of the ears and threw them into the ground.

Caught up with the rain, they were all flooded by muddy water, and it is estimated that the yield per mu will be lost by at least 20%!

Lao Wen was completely speechless.

Good farmers are not cultivated in a day or two.

At least in the short term, it's out of the picture.

It's just that Wen Yanbo is a person who is eager for quick success, he is eager to show his performance, filling his purse is second, since Wang Ningan said it, he will only work for five years, and when Wang Ningan goes down, he will make a comeback!

When the time comes, why should you grab the prime minister, it depends on the political performance!

He can put the Western Xia in order, get rid of the big trouble for the Great Song Dynasty, open up the territory by the way, and squeeze huge wealth, and the emperor will not dare to use him at that time!

If these lazy people were allowed to sabotage his plan, Lao Wen would be able to cry to death.

There is no way, he can only fight the domestic idea.

Coincidentally, Wang Ning'an needed strong labor to build roads, so Wen Yanbo thought of this method, using the coolies of Western Xia in exchange for the old farmers of the Great Song Dynasty, the best of both worlds.

Although Zhao Shu likes Wen Yanbo's actions, he also knows that this old guy's heart is black, and if he gives him the farmer, will there be a problem?

Zhao Shu could only let Wen Yanbo wait for the time being, and after discussion, he would make a decision.

Lao Wen was very helpless, but he could only temporarily return to the pavilion to obey orders.

On the third day, Wang Ningan hurried over.

Originally, Wang Ningan was supposed to go to the suburbs to greet him, but the problem was that he went to survey the railway line, ran back and forth, just came back yesterday, went to see Zhao Shu in the morning, and came to find Wen Yanbo in the afternoon.

The two of them have long been so familiar that they don't need to be polite at all.

"I can say yes." Wang Ning'an said very simply, "But I must send personnel to supervise the situation of the farmers, you must settle the people, if the farmers are used as slaves and tired people to death, I will take care of your lives!" ”

"Humph!" Wen Yanbo slapped the table and said angrily: "The surname Wang, don't deceive people too much, if you do this, do you want to send someone to supervise the coolies, and you are not allowed to kill the coolies...... If someone dies, how about the old man impeaching you? ”

"Whatever!"

Wang Ningan spread his hands, "If you think it's useful, it doesn't matter!" ”

Wen Yanbo was really speechless.

"Okay, your surname is Wang, I can't afford to mess with you, I, I'll just invite a bunch of uncles back! Who am I doing this for? Wen Yanbo beat his chest, "Wang Ning'an, you must know, I am old, I have worked hard, wearing stars and moons, running like this in the north and south, and my life is going to be taken in, so you just nod and send me hundreds of thousands of farmers over, what can I do?" It's all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I swear to God, if I deliberately kill people, let God split me! ”

"That's it!"

Wang Ningan waved his hand impatiently, "Brother Kuanfu, if there is really God, can the two of us still live to this day?" Children's tricks, you don't feel ashamed, I still waste effort! ”

In a word, the old text was also blocked.

In these years, I really pay attention to one thing and one thing, Wen Yanbo has thousands of calculations and thousands of ideas, but here in Wang Ning'an, none of them work.

"Jingping...... If, as you asked, I change the farmers and take care of them, the harvest of the little grain I grow every year is too small to be worth it...... I, I'm not changing. ”

The old text thought that Wang Ning'an would be afraid, but how did he know that this old god was there, crossing Erlang's legs, as if he hadn't heard it!

"Wang Erlang, the old man is not changing!" Wen Yanbo raised his voice.

Wang Ningan finally reacted, he smiled, "Brother Kuanfu, such a good place, if you get a lot of farmers to go, you will regret it." ”

Wen Yanbo snorted, "Okay, it's the same with sheep anyway, the old man doesn't care!" ”

Wang Ningan waved his hand, "Brother Kuanfu, you didn't figure it out...... Well, I'll show you something! ”

Wen Yanbo didn't know why, Wang Ningan had already pulled his arm, couldn't help but say, got into the carriage, came out of the west gate, and walked until dusk, before stopping in front of a building.

Looking up, the surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is excellent, and there is a distance from the capital, away from the hustle and bustle, it looks like a good place for self-cultivation.

Wang Ningan enthusiastically introduced to Wen Yanbo that this was the first batch of technical schools he built.

The traditional academy was destroyed, and the science and engineering education that Wang Ning'an longed for finally blossomed everywhere, and among these students, there will be future great inventors, who are the force to change the world.

Today, Wang Ningan was not interested in telling Wen Yanbo about any new education, so he pulled Lao Wen all the way to the experimental area behind.

It is a wide open space, and near the corner, there is a field of about 20 acres. On the edge of the farmland, two huge things are parked.

Wen Yanbo took a closer look, only to find that this thing had four huge wheels, similar to a carriage, and there was also a carriage on it, but this carriage was very large, and there was a chimney, which was erected high.

What the hell is this?

Wen Yanbo was puzzled.

Wang Ningan enthusiastically introduced, "This is a tractor, our latest achievement...... Anyway, Brother Kuanfu, you know the train, this thing is a train that doesn't need rails. ”

Wen Yanbo looked at it carefully and hesitated: "It's similar to a carriage?" ”

"Well, it's much stronger than the carriage!"

"So what's the use of this thing? Sitting people? ”

"You can also plow the land!"

"Cultivated land?" Wen Yanbo was shocked, "Fresh, I have only heard of using cattle and horses to plow the fields, and some have used people to plow the fields, but I have never heard of using moulders...... Tractor's, will this work? Lao Wen was skeptical.

"Of course it works, come, show it to Xianggong Wen!"

Wang Ning'an gave an order, and students immediately ran over.

The train research was successful, and the tractor was actually only one step away, and there were no insurmountable technical difficulties.

The West is also in a short period of time, successively breaking through trains, tractors, ships, the Great Song Dynasty workers are even larger, and Wang Ning'an is leading the way, and the time for the advent of tractors is naturally much earlier.

It's just that this tractor is different from the one seen in later generations.

First of all, since it is driven by a steam engine, it needs a driver to drive in front and a coal-filled one behind it. At the back of the tractor is a pair of knives for ploughing the field, and on top of it there is a person standing to supervise the depth of the ploughing field, all in all, a very complex and backward thing.

But for now, it's an artifact!

The boiler burned, the steam was enough, and with the driver's operation, the tractor moved forward.

There is no need to describe the sound, it is earth-shattering, it is almost deafening, and the black smoke is billowing out, choking people to cough. If it weren't for Wang Ningan beside him, Wen Yanbo would have wanted to turn around and leave.

What a thing, stupid and coarse, it's worth a look at the old man!

After another while, Wen Yanbo finally changed color, and even changed from stunned to ecstatic.

He found that the tractor entered the farmland area, drove forward, and the knives behind it turned the dirt up, and the tractor rolled forward, about 8 to 10 ridges at a time, in other words, one tractor can top 8 bullocks!

And as long as three people are enough, you know, ploughing with oxen, it takes two people before and after, Wen Yanbo quickly calculated, a tractor, can top 8 cows, plus 15 laborers!

What is most lacking in the current Hetao Plain is not skilled farmers!

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wen Yanbo's eyes lit up.

Wang Ningan said with a smile on the side: "In addition to the work of filling coal, women can drive tractors, and they don't eat forage or rest, as long as they don't break, they can keep working...... Brother Kuanfu, don't you want to develop the Hetao and farm! Think about it, how many farmers can this tractor withstand! ”

"Don't say it, the old man wants it!"

Wen Yanbo shook his fist fiercely, "You make a price, didn't the old man give you an order last time!" It just so happens that there are also coal mines in Xixia, so let's get 1,000 cars for the old man first, and I want it immediately! ”

Wen Yanbo couldn't wait.

But Wang Ningan was embarrassed, "That...... Brother Kuanfu, let's talk slowly. ”

Wen Yanbo sank his old face, "Wang Erlang, do you still want to knock the old man on it?" I can tell you, you can't be too much, the old man is for the good of the Great Song Dynasty...... Otherwise, let's take the lawsuit to Your Majesty, and the day before yesterday, Your Majesty gave it to the old man...... Pillar of the Nation...... A pair of plaques, do you treat the important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty like this? ”

In a hurry, Wen Yanbo pulled Zhao Shu in, he really needed a tractor...... There is no shortage of cattle and sheep in Western Xia, but there is a lack of manpower!

This tractor is simply an artifact!

"Brother Kuanfu, you misunderstood, I didn't blackmail you, but, but this thing is not mature."

"What do you mean?" The old text is incomprehensible.

"It's just easy to get into an accident." As soon as Wang Ningan finished speaking, there was a click over there...... Immediately after that, a puff of black smoke rose into the air, and the tractor broke down......

Wen Yanbo's face also darkened, he silently calculated, from the beginning of ploughing the land to the location of the anchor, it was only 50 zhang, this distance was broken, and he was counting on the old man to pay for it, so dream about it!

Wen Yanbo turned around and left, not even willing to say a word!
