Chapter 164 [Quyuan Plough and Overturn]

Wei Yan held a meeting of high-level generals, and after that, the training in the army was all based on the Cao army as the imaginary enemy, with one Wei soldier defeating two Cao soldiers as one training goal, and one Wei army defeating two Cao troops as one training goal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If there are not enough opportunities for actual combat, then actual combat training will make up for it, and each combat unit will have 10 percent training losses, and Ganning's naval army will be as high as 20 percent of its training damage, and only such high-intensity training close to actual combat can train elite soldiers.

Wen Ping and Gan Ning are close to Huainan Yuan Shu, and they are in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, where bandits are rampant, so they have more opportunities to fight, and they are fighting almost every day, and the frequency of their battles in these months may be higher than the frequency of fighting in the lifetime of many armies under the command of the princes, and because of this, they can become elite soldiers in a short period of time.

And to maintain their ability to train and fight at such a high intensity, one depends on food, and the other is by joining the army at all levels.

In order to obtain sufficient food, in addition to the high-yield seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn provided by Wei Yan, the farmland cultivation technology has also been greatly improved under the promotion of Wei Yan.

In addition to training the army every day, Wei Yan also spends time cultivating qualified generals, joining the army, and officials, and in addition, he also spends time supervising the inventions of Ma Jun and Huang Yueying.

Wei Yan told Ma Jun and his male craftsmen, Huang Yueying and his female craftsmen all the knowledge he had learned before the passage to Ma Jun and his male craftsmen, Huang Yueying and his female craftsmen in a vocabulary that people could understand in this era.

The intelligence of Ma Jun, Huang Yueying and the craftsmen under their command is improving, and it turns out that their invention in that life appeared many years earlier than the original.

One day, Wei Yan spent two drawings and gave them to Ma Jun and Huang Yueying respectively, and asked them to try out them in their respective workshops.

Huang Yueying's workshop has begun to run, the director Huang Yueying, the deputy director Zhuge Meng, invited all strong women, even the guards are women, the venue is not far from the Pingnan General's Mansion, there is the general's wife personally as the field director, the salary is expensive, many women are attracted to join, in less than a month, there have been nearly a thousand people to join.

Ma Jun's workshop has even more staff, nearly 6,000 people.

Among them, 2,000 craftsmen came from Cao Cao, of course, he knew that craftsmen meant the war potential and technical strength of his side, but he was about to make a big move, and he had to gather more elite soldiers, so he pinched his nose and gathered 2,000 craftsmen in exchange for 4,000 captive soldiers to go back.

There are 1,000 craftsmen from Liu Biao, and Liu Biao exchanged 1,000 craftsmen for 2,000 prisoners, it's not that he doesn't want to exchange more prisoners to go back, but there are only so many craftsmen left, and most of the craftsmen are in various families, so he can't go out.

The collective strength is very powerful, even if Wei Yan's sketch is very vague, the trial products handed over by Ma Jun and Huang Yueying still make Wei Yan very amazing.

The trial products were given to the old farmers to try, and the old farmers praised: "This quyuan plow is really easy to use!" ”

The plough of the Han Dynasty has been basically shaped, but the plough of the Han Dynasty is a long straight plough, and the turning of the plough is not flexible enough when ploughing, and the soil is laborious, and the efficiency is not very high.

The plough body can swing when the curved plough is operated, full of mobility, convenient for deep ploughing, and light and flexible, conducive to maneuvering, followed by increased plow evaluation and plough construction, such as advancing the plough evaluation, can make the plow arrow downward, the ploughshare into the soil is deep, if the plow evaluation is lifted, the plow arrow is upward, the ploughshare into the soil is shallow, the plow evaluation of the curved plow, the plow arrow and the plough construction are organically combined, it can adapt to the different requirements of deep ploughing or shallow tillage, and can make the adjustment of the depth of cultivated land standardized, 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.

The structure of the quyuan plough is complete and mature, light and labor-saving, after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no obvious change in the structure of the plough, even if he crosses before, the Quyuan plough can still be seen in some rural areas.

After the evaluation of the farmers, the Quyuan plough of the Ma Jun Factory was more complete, so they improved it with the trial products of the Ma Jun Factory, and began to make the Quyuan plough on a large scale and promoted it to the entire Han Dynasty.

For this kind of invention that can improve the productivity of the entire Han nation, Wei Yan never hides himself.

Of course, he prefers that Ma Jun's factory and affiliated factories make these curved plows and sell them to other forces or families.

This curved plough directly improved the farming techniques of this era by four hundred years.

Wei Yan took another picture and handed it to Ma Jun and Huang Yueying.

This time, Ma Jun completed it ahead of schedule, because it was a rollover he had done in history.

Prior to this, in the third year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (186 AD), Bi Lan had made a dump car for taking river water to sprinkle the road, but the overturned car at that time was still relatively rough, and it should probably be said that it was the predecessor of the keel waterwheel used in the countryside in all dynasties.

In that life, after many years, Ma Jun was a petty official in Wei at that time, and often lived in the capital Luoyang, at that time in Luoyang City, there was a large piece of sloping land that was very suitable for growing vegetables, and the people wanted to open up this land into a vegetable garden, but unfortunately it was idle because it could not be diverted to irrigate the land. When Ma Jun saw this, he made up his mind to solve the problem of irrigation. So he used his brain again mechanically. After repeated research and experiments, he finally created a kind of overturned car, which led the water from the river up the soil slope, realizing the long-standing wish of the common people. Ma Jun Chuangshi's overturn, "a hundred times more clever than usual", is extremely lightweight, even children can turn. Not only does it lift water, but it also drains water during rains. It can be seen that there is a lot of progress and a high level of efficacy. This type of dumping was one of the most advanced production tools in the world at that time, and since then, it has been used by the countryside for generations, until the realization of electric machinery to lift water, it has played a huge role.

The structure of the overturned car is that the body is assembled into a rectangular long groove with three plates, and a sprocket is set at each end of the groove, and the keel blade plate is used as a chain to pass through the long groove; The body is obliquely placed at the water's edge, the lower sprocket and part of the long groove are immersed in the water, and the sprocket on the shore is the driving wheel; The shaft of the driving wheel is longer, and there are four crutches at each end; The person leans on the shelf, steps on the crutch, drives the upper chain, scrapes the water along the trough and rises, discharges the water to the end of the trough, and then returns to the water along the top of the long trough. In this cycle, water is continuously brought to shore.

Wei Yan's drawings are very poor, but he can't stand Ma Jun's [invention] stunt, and then gather the collective wisdom of the craftsmen under his command, within seven days, the overturn came into being, since then, every village has gradually overturned, agricultural production efficiency has been greatly improved, no longer just relying on the harvest of the sky.

The significance of the overturn is greater than that of the Quyuan plow, because this era, during the Xiaoice River period, there was a general drought and little rain, at this time, irrigation was more important, and the overturned car made the Han people like a treasure.

Huang Yueying lost both battles, but she was not discouraged, and finally, she won Ma Jun in a project that Ma Jun would have won steadily.
