Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Old Man's Cart ......
Dou Yan had already seen his father sitting among those officials with a rank of two thousand stones, and when he heard this, his father couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes fell on his body and he bowed slightly, with a very strong momentum and style of a martial arts master, the meaning was very clear, he was a son, and his old man disdained to shoot at the juniors.
However, before Dou Yan could speak, the Empress Dowager Dou, who was originally full of doubts, frowned slightly in displeasure: "Come on, open the wooden box, take my nephew's birthday gift closer, and let the old man take a look." ”
Hearing this, a eunuch immediately opened the huge wooden box, and from the wooden box he laboriously carried out a wooden plow, as well as several kinds of farm tools. There was even a frame with a unique shape and a length similar to that of the curved plow, which was lifted to the bottom of the stairs under the surprised eyes of those present.
Emperor Han Jing saw the uniquely shaped curved plow, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then lowered his head and leaned into the ear of the old empress dowager Dou and whispered something. The old empress dowager Dou's brows raised slightly, and she said gently: "Yan'er, those objects you offered seem to be a little different from those used by the people today?" ”
"Exactly, these are all improved according to the agricultural tools used by the farmers of my Han Dynasty, for example, this curved plow, not only is much lighter than the straight plow, a single ox can be driven, a curved plow, only one person to support the plow, one ox to pull, said to be arable dry land, but also can adjust the depth of the soil, and can automatically push the upturned soil ......away," Dou Yan replied loudly.
Hearing this, the hundred officials and nobles in the hall couldn't help but gasp, all of them were shocked, most of these people have never touched the fields, but there are still many officials who have been in contact with farming, and they also need to have some understanding of farming, after all, even Huang Yanjing has to plow in person every year to indicate the beginning of spring ploughing.
The straight plough is not only heavy and clumsy, difficult to turn, and requires manpower and oxen power far beyond this kind of curved plough, but the Han ploughing ox has always been insufficient, so that many people can only go into battle with the whole family to pull the plough every time they plough the ox.
Originally, she thought that if Dou Yan did this, there should be some unexpected surprises, and Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but change her face. "Yan'er, is this true?"
"Nature is true, Yan can guarantee it." Dou Yan replied respectfully.
"Could it be that Gongzi Dou has personally gone to the field to test?" Ignoring the obstruction of the people next to him, Na Li Gao couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
"Fuck, Lao Tzu won't play you to death in public today, and Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Dou!" Dou Yan smiled coldly, rolled his eyes, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to reply. "Nope."
Hearing this simple but direct answer, Li Gao was overjoyed, came out of the crowd, and bowed down the steps: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please treat Dou Yan for the crime of bullying the king." This thing is used by the people, Dou Yan actually offered it as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, he does not understand agricultural affairs, and how can he improve agricultural tools, it is clear that he wants to grandstand, and there is a mistake of bullying the king. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Han Jingdi's face couldn't help but look a little unpleasant, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Dou Yan who was kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, his fingers tapping lightly on his knee, his eyes flashing.
And Princess Xinyang, who was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, clenched her pink fist a little nervously, and almost wanted to speak, but after seeing Xiao Liu Che beside her, she took a deep breath and resisted the impulse. And the eldest princess sitting on the other side of the Empress Dowager Dou still had a faint smile on her face, looking at Dou Yan with some confusion.
"Really?" The smile on the old empress dowager Dou's face gradually faded, and her voice was a little cold.
"Queen Mother, the minister has a word." At this time, Dou Shaojun, who couldn't hold it anymore, finally jumped out. Seeing that this Empress Dowager Dou's own brother would actually stand up, Li Gao, who had just flashed with smugness on his face, couldn't help but be a little stunned.
--------------------
"Shaojun, you wait first." After Empress Dowager Dou raised her hand to signal Dou Shaojun, her eyes fell on Dou Yan's body at the bottom of the stairs. "Yan'er, what's going on?"
"Although the nephew has never been in the field, there are farmers who have tried the farm tools improved by the nephew, and the reason why the nephew can improve it successfully is that he has to get the selfless pull of his uncle Zhang Wuhou, otherwise, how can the nephew be able to try it out in less than a month?"
"Oh? Shaojun, what Yan'er said, but the truth? Empress Dowager Dou turned her head to ask Dou Shaojun again.
"Exactly, but, when Yan'er improved the farm tools, the minister just said a few words casually, so there was no credit." Dou Shaojun grinned, and wanted to respond, but he felt a little embarrassed, but such a big credit was placed in front of him, and if he didn't take it, his heart was really itching, so he had to answer vaguely, but there was a little more relief in his eyes when he turned his face to look at Dou Yan.
"In addition, the younger brother in the Wangsun Mansion, I have indeed seen the peasants making these improved farm tools, it is indeed as Yan'er said, it is really much lighter and faster than today's, saving time and effort......" Dou Shaojun's eloquent voice echoed in the hall, and the more and more isolated Li Gao, who was kneeling not far behind.
Li Gao's face was bloodless at the moment, his mouth was trembling, and his eyes were dull looking at Dou Yan who was kneeling in front of the steps, as well as that Dou Shaojun, who never thought that Dou Yan was so insidious and vicious. It wasn't until the last moment that Dou Shaojun, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou, was used to uncover the mystery.
Emperor Han Jingdi, who originally looked unhappy, couldn't help but look surprised, and even walked down in person, standing in front of the farm tools placed at the bottom of the steps. Dou Shaojun naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and pointed to the improved farm tools to explain the purpose and superior surname.
Although those small farm tools also have their superior surnames, what makes Emperor Jing of Han care the most is the curved plow. Under the guarantee of Dou Shaojun's chest, Emperor Han Jing turned his attention to another big guy.
"By the way, Yan'er, what is this, when the old man arrived at the house a few days ago, there was no such thing." Dou Shaojun couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to Dou Yan and asked.
"Uncle Hui, the name of this thing is a wheelbarrow." Dou Yan replied: "When my nephew saw that those peasants were running goods in a rugged place, they could only carry them on their shoulders, no more than a hundred catties at a time, but although the cart was very heavy, it could not travel in such a place, so he thought why not reduce two wheels to one." In this way, not only is it easy to steer, but it also carries a load far beyond the shoulder lift. Dou Yan stood up, stood up the wheelbarrow, held the handle in both hands, and gestured to the old man's cart style one by one.
"Oh, I wonder how much cargo this thing can carry?" When Emperor Han Jing saw this scene, he couldn't help but be very interested, and asked with great interest.
Dou Yan replied after estimating: "Five or six hundred catties can be carried." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall once again resounded with the sound of inhalation. Even Emperor Han Jing couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the toy-like unicycle that Dou Yan was comparing in disbelief. "You said this thing can carry five or six hundred catties?"
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can try it on the spot." Dou Yan is a little stupid, this tool has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost considerations, and it is still used in remote areas in later generations, there are a lot of them in the village where Dou Yan is located, how many can be loaded, how can he not know?
"Someone, bring 500 catties of corn." Emperor Han Jing also seems to be a doer, said to try, immediately ordered someone to carry five hundred catties of millet to come, not long after, five bags of millet has been packed in the bag, was carried into the main hall.
After putting two bags on each side, and then setting up another bag in the middle, Dou Yan proudly first turned on the spot, and then began to push the wheelbarrow that had carried five hundred Han catties of millet in the main hall, and moved lightly under the stunned gaze of everyone......
--------------------
ps: The first more arrived, today it is sunny to visit the hospital due to illness, the doctor swept a glance and opened a few large inspection orders in seconds, at a glance, it is hundreds of yuan, and he is angry and responsible! Doctor Yun: Wouldn't it be a pity if the advanced technology and equipment were not used? The electricity cost of a switch is a few times, and the cost of the machine is naturally on the head of An'er and so on. As for the hundreds of yuan, what's so strange, wouldn't it be a shame to be sorry for the signboard of your own regular hospital if you don't charge you for a cold. This number is just a small initial measure, and there is a super money grabbing move that has not yet been issued, do you dare to accept it?
Under the shame and indignation, he abandoned the order and retreated, went to the roadside pharmacy to inquire, got two packs of medicine for dozens of yuan, and proudly returned to Qingfu with the medicine, and was trying it. I hope that all the students will bless the medicine and get rid of the disease......
I would also like to thank the students for their support and support.
