Chapter 228: Ploughshare Plough (Subscription Requested)

And at this time, Huang Jin walked over, holding two drawings in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, when Yang Ming left the capital, he asked Li Qianhu to bring you two drawings, this is a matter of state affairs, and the old slave does not dare to delay..."

"Yang Ming asked Li Ji to forward the excerpt?" Yang Yanhe was a little suspicious, he was still clear about Yang Ming, and he counted the word good in his heart, but why did he have such an excerpt when he was leaving? Although this excerpt seemed to be a little unruly, it was just two drawings, but it immediately occurred to him that this guy probably had some kind of idea!

Ghost idea?

Jiajing doesn't think so. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Ming's so-called benefits to the country and the people can be counted, and since there are drawings, he is still ready to take a look.

The drawing is not large, that is, the size of a general official document, but the lines on it are outlined by charcoal, but it is such a simple line that actually draws a plowshare vividly.

It is necessary to know that the plough is a soil tillage machine with the main function of turning over the soil, and has the effect of loosening and breaking the soil. There are mainly types of mouldboard ploughs, disc ploughs, rotary ploughs and so on.

Tracing back to the roots, in fact, Egypt, China, Persia and other ancient agricultural countries had primitive wooden ploughs pulled by oxen three or four thousand years ago, and the mouldboard plough in Europe was founded in the 8th century.

It was not until 1847 that the disc plow was patented in the United States, and in 1896, the Hungarians created the rotary plow.

And the mouldboard plough is the world's most widely used tillage machinery, but the disc plough has a strong ability to cut off the grass roots, but the covering performance is not as good as the mouldboard plough, the soil ploughed with the mouldboard plough and the disc plough, its fineness, flatness generally does not meet the requirements of sowing, and follow-up operations such as harrowing and suppression must also be carried out. In addition, ploughing with mouldboard and disc ploughing requires a lot of traction, and the maximum traction generated by the tractor is limited by the tire adhesion performance, and its power is not fully utilized Since the end of the 19th century, many countries and regions have been exploring new ploughing tools and creating various driven soil tillage machinery. Such as rotary tiller, rotary hoe, etc. Their outstanding advantage is that they can obtain very loose and finely fragmented seed beds at a time, but they are less productive, consume more energy, and are not as functional as mouldboards, weeds and fertilizers.

"This is a plowshare?" Jiajing's mind couldn't turn around. The plough is the artifact of cultivation in the world, which he naturally knows, but the plow drawn by Yang Ming is different, it is a fully suspended ploughshare plough, which is composed of a thick blade at the end of a beam. It can be driven by both animal power and manpower, but although it looks like a plow, the appearance has changed dramatically, and Rao is Jiajing also looked at it and didn't dare to confirm it.

"Master Yang, can you take a look?"

Yang Yanhe heard Jiajing say that it was a plow, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, Jiajing was born as a vassal king, and naturally he didn't know about farming, you must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a unified standard for the actual son of the vassal king, whether it was the emperor or the imperial court, that is, to raise pigs!

The main purpose is to be afraid of the recurrence of Zhu Di's affair, after all, he has a criminal record, so he naturally hopes that other vassal kings will eat and sleep well, even if you are looking for fun every day. The more greedy they are for money and lustful, the more they like it, on the contrary, if the vassal king works hard, hehe, then I'm sorry, you want to rebel?

Therefore, it is natural that Jiajing, who was born as a vassal king, does not understand agricultural affairs, and it is not strange that Jiajing does not know Plough Yang Yanhe.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Yanhe still looked at the drawing.

The two sat very close, because only the two of them did not shy away from it, and the moment Yang Yanhe saw the drawings, his whole eyes were stunned.

What was on the drawing was nothing like the plow he knew.

"This ......."

He was speechless. This seems to be beyond Yang Yanhe's cognition, you must know that the plowshares handed down from the ancestors since ancient times do not look like this, but this drawing is not only drawn into a real thing, the most important thing is that it is densely marked with the size and related proportions with fly's head in small letters, and even the key processing is also written in detail.

Yang Yanhe dared to be sure. If you give this drawing to a craftsman, it will definitely be easy to make, but can this plough really plow 100 acres a day as stated in the drawing?

Cultivating 100 acres a day is not a small amount, you must know that the ancient output is not high, in fact, in addition to fertilizers, pesticides, cultivation is also a huge obstacle, because the plough is not deep enough to eat the soil, so the soil can not be evenly turned out, then the soil can not get the sun's anti-virus and fine crushing, so after sowing, whether it is out of the vitality of seed germination, as well as the coverage rate of the soil and the rooting of the roots will be more or less limited. Therefore, this production naturally cannot rise.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, the old way of farming, can use livestock to plow the land, in fact, there are a few people, these people are generally local gentry, even if it is like Yang Ming's family to buy cattle back then, it also requires the whole family to go through I don't know how many years of savings to buy one, Rao is so, if it wasn't for Yang Ming cured the old cow back then, maybe the Yang family would not be able to turn over the hurdle back then, and the debt would be high!

In a farmer's house, a cow is definitely worth more than human life, even if the whole family does not eat, they will buy some soybeans for the cow in winter to eat with this hay.

But even so, because of the backwardness of the cultivation methods and production tools, a cow and a laborer can only cultivate less than 20 acres of land in a day from the beginning of the morning to the end of the afternoon, and this is still under the condition that the soil is relatively flat and soft.

However, Yang Ming's drawing said a hundred acres, although it seems that there are indeed a few more coulters on it, but.... It still made the two monarchs and ministers a little incredulous.

If someone else says that a plow can plough a hundred acres a day, then no one will believe it, and they will even scold! But Yang Ming is different, Yang Ming has created enough miracles, as his current prestige, Yang Ming is impossible to grandstand, he said that the plow can plow a hundred acres, then it must be able to plow a hundred acres.

"Your Majesty! According to the old minister, look at this mouldboard plow.... Maybe it's true.. As Yang Ming said.... Plough in one day.... Hundred... Acres! Yang Yanhe was the first to wake up, but his mouth was a little trembling when he spoke!

One hundred acres! It can be done in one day!

So how many people are freed up for other things? This is no longer as simple as a small plow, and he even saw the entire Ming Dynasty become rich again because of this new ploughshare.

PS: The first update is sent, today I found someone to compose music, and I didn't feel good when I found a lot of friends, hey! The lyrics are the song "The Legend of the Orchid Pavilion" published in the work, do you have friends who can compose? (To be continued.) )
