In the golden autumn of October, in those terraced fields around Trojan County, the grain is finally ripe.

All the people, the soldiers, began to participate in the harvest, and it was a scene in full swing.

Thanks to the irrigation stations, these terraces are extremely well irrigated, and even a lot of rice paddies have been created uphill!

Large sorghum, corn, sweet potatoes, and rice bent the branches heavily.

"Hurry up, work hard, finish harvesting the grain one day earlier, plant the wheat of the next year one day earlier, don't delay the season!"

The propagandists were shouting, everyone's face was covered with beads of sweat, and those beads of sweat were filled with the joy of harvest.

"Come on, come on, let me shake it!"

"Fuck off, get out of here, this is a threshing machine, do you know? Can you shake it? Hurry up and cut the rice! ”

A group of officers scrambled to shake the threshing machine with round arms, and with the rotation of the gears, the winch in it whined and roared, and the ears of rice sent into it were twisted by the iron teeth made of thin wire, and the yellow rice flowed into the barrel under it like a stream.

"Commander, this threshing machine you invented really works!"

Pan Haodi, who was observing from the sidelines, said with a look of admiration: "I think, if you weren't born in this era, you would definitely become a great inventor - how did you come up with this threshing machine?" ”

"This threshing machine is not high-tech, just think about it and come up with it!"

Lu Yuan said indifferently, but he was snickering in his heart, and said that he had seen this kind of hand-cranked threshing machine before, and if he really made an invention out of nothing, it would be difficult for himself.

This kind of hand-cranked threshing machine is purely to use a large gear to drive a small gear, so as to increase the speed of the winch made of wood chips and wire, so as to twist the rice from the rice ear, which is really not technological.

But if people who have never seen it want to invent it like this, it is not something that anyone can do, and it is because of this that Pan Haodi, the first intellectual in Trojan County, is so shocked.

Of course, all machinery must have the support of basic industry, take this simplest threshing machine as an example, it is because the quality of steel produced by the steel mill has been greatly improved, and there is no problem with casting some gears with molds, so it can be successfully produced, which is here, or the first threshing machine in China at present, and it is a simplified version!

The crank and the connection between it should be installed with a rolling bearing to reduce friction and achieve the purpose of saving effort, but unfortunately the bearing is too high for the current steel mill to be built, so it can only be omitted.

But these are small problems, just look at the officers who dominate the threshing machine and refuse to let go, for the appearance of such a new thing, this group of guys pouted and shook their ass, and they didn't care that they had a lot of brute strength.

"Zizi, head of the regiment, with you, we can save a lot of effort in this work!"

Zhang Zaixian smiled from ear to ear, and said in his heart that if he used to thresh rice, he had to cut all the ears of rice back, and only after drying them did he beat them down little by little, which was time-consuming and laborious, but now, as soon as he sent it to the threshing shed, the rice was rice, and the ears of rice were ears, and how much effort was saved—not to mention, the threshing machine could not only threh the grain, but also beat the sorghum!

The only thing that makes him feel a little distressed is that although the threshing machine is easy to use, it is not so finely beaten, and occasionally some rice becomes a fish that slips through the net.

But it doesn't matter, the straw has to be dried to raise livestock when it goes back, and when the straw is dry, some of the remaining rice will naturally fall.

"Village Chief Zhang, don't worry, with me, there will be more good things in the future!"

Although he is just a fake scientist, this will not hinder Lu Yuan's good mood now, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the county can finish their farm work as soon as possible, devote their energy to other construction as soon as possible, and prepare for future wars, he will not care at all that he has invisibly stolen the inventions of others.

I heard that Lu Yuan invented the threshing machine, and the eight roads immediately formed an observation group, Lei Ming Han Xiaolei and others came to observe, if the threshing machine is easy to use, it will be immediately promoted to the various liberated areas, after all, their territory is larger, and there are more places suitable for planting rice.

"I thought there was something great, you look at the rice ears that are left so much rice, what a waste - you have to fight again when you go back, it's really thankless!"

Lei Ming rolled his eyes and muttered, pointing to the occasional few grains of rice on the threshing straw and shouting loudly, vigorously belittling the role of the threshing machine, but this did not prevent him from immediately ordering three threshing machines from Pan Haodi, and asking for delivery in the shortest possible time.

Everyone has long been accustomed to Lei Ming's style, and they don't even bother to give one a look of contempt, after all, for this guy, despise him can be regarded as a compliment.

Lu Yuan knew why Lei Ming was so dissatisfied, because with the strong support of Political Commissar Deng, the Eighth Route Army had already agreed that once the Japanese army attacked Muma County, they had agreed to hand over all the command to Lu Yuan at that time, and he would be unified in dispatch, and Lei Ming would have to obey Lu Yuan's orders at that time, which was the most dissatisfied place for this guy.

Autumn harvest and autumn planting are in full swing.

The adults harvested, threshed, and carried to the county at home, and they were very busy, and the children were not idle, carrying baskets behind the adults, picking up the fish that had slipped through the net into the baskets, and refusing to let go at all.

In addition to these, the straw and corn stalks left over from the harvest are not wasted in the slightest, and they are all collected and bundled into bundles ready to feed the animals in the winter.

The leaves and vines of the sweet potatoes are also collected, dried, and prepared to be fed to pigs, and even in times of food shortage, people can use them to wrap their stomachs.

When it comes to food, these people who have been soaked in bitter water are extremely pious and will not waste a single penny.

Immediately after the harvest, people led the oxen and horses to plow the fields, preparing to plant the spring crops early.

A fiery sight.

In the county, in front of the small square, the people carrying food on their backs lined up in a long line, Su Yan was registering with the account book, he was really too busy alone, and even Lin Shiwen was pulled to help.

Some of this grain is the grain that the county residents gave back to the regiment, after all, the county residents of Trojan County have all migrated from other places, and they didn't even have land before, let alone have surplus food.

For most of the past six months, the grain they have eaten has been lent to them by the regiment, and now some interest is added to the regiment.

Another part is the county's collected grain, which the regiment buys at market prices and hoards it for emergencies.
