Chapter Ninety-One: The Pseudo-Qu Yuan Plow

When Wen Chou is no longer entangled, to what extent have those heroes who can dominate one side in the future have developed now. The mood suddenly brightened. Because it turned out that he found that even the most inconspicuous princes were now much more powerful than him as a half-percent captain. He still has a long way to go. Don't be complacent because of this small achievement.

Wen Chou shook his head, eliminated the distractions in his heart, and walked out of the hall. Out of the official temple, I walked straight to a family in the Xiangting. It is a well-known farm tool manufacturing family, and three or four percent of the farm tools used in Shahe Township are from this family. This is exactly the family that is responsible for transforming the plough according to the meaning of Wen Chou.

At the time when Wanmin is busy with farming, he is not easy to be idle. It was time to test the success of the transformation of the long straight plough into a short curved plough. He, the creative purveyor, couldn't help but be there. Maybe the transformation has not been completed, so I didn't see the blacksmith, so I ordered someone to come and deliver the message.

Wen Chou didn't notify the others, he was alone, wearing black civilian clothes, and walked quickly towards the house. Maybe it's because the villagers are busy farming in the middle of the field, and there are not many people on the streets of the township pavilion, which saves the time for Wen Chou to respond with a smile. After all, Wen Chou is still relatively popular in the township.

Not long after, Wen Chou came to the gate of the courtyard of this family, who made farm tools for a living. I saw that several people in the courtyard were busy. It was not the first time Wen Chou had come, and he had stayed for a short time, so he walked to the courtyard with ease. The busy craftsmen in the distance were shocked when they saw Wen Chou coming, and then they were relieved to see Wen Chou walking straight towards the depths of the courtyard.

The family's surname is Wang, and the head of the family is a rather bold middle-aged man.

Wen Chou went straight to a house, and just as he was about to step in, a middle-aged man dressed in black short brown walked out of the room. This house is the main workshop, with a gate and many rooms divided into it. This middle-aged man is the head of this family.

Wen Chou seemed to be stressed, took a step back, and unconsciously pressed the handle of the ring head knife on his waist. Seeing that it was this person, and with an excited look, he said: "Master Wang, why are you so excited? ”

"Wenjun, it's here again so soon? But for the plough? After the man surnamed Wang saw that it was ugly, he was first shocked, and then said with a smile.

"Exactly, I don't know, has the Wang family master ever completed the transformation? The result? Wen Chou smiled.

"It's a coincidence that Wen Jun came, isn't this just completed, and people are also preparing to send someone to invite Wen Jun?" The man surnamed Wang waved his hand and gave up a position, revealing the 'curved plow' in the corner of the house.

I saw that its form was strange, not only different from the long straight plow, but also not very like the short curved plow, and even more different from the plough of later generations! But it is a kind of plough created by the head of the family surnamed Wang according to the drawings and experience given by Wen Chou, combined with his own experience! To be precise, it should be a kind of plough between the long straight plough and the long curved plow!

Wen Chou looked at it for a moment, his brows furrowed more and more, and he said suspiciously: "Master Wang, this is the plough you transformed?" I thought, "Am I so poor at expression?" Or is this 'Quyuan plow' really a product of the times and cannot be understood by the people at this time? That's too far away! ”

"Exactly, any doubts? Wen Jun, you see, this is a curved yuan, this is a plough building, there are plow arrows, and there are plow plates, all of which are not available in the original plough! In order to combine them, I widened this part, replaced this part with ironwork, and changed this part to a semicircle, and "When the man surnamed Wang heard this, he immediately walked to the 'Quyuan plow', and said while pointing, so he was not excited.

"It's true that it's a 'curved plow', but it's still far from my ideal state. This 'curved plow' is more cumbersome and heavy than the long straight plow, right? Wen Chou said.

"Well, that's true." The man surnamed Wang scratched his head and said, but immediately said: "But it doesn't sink much, and it can be pulled by a cow, even if it uses manpower, it is much more labor-saving than the original." "The long straight plough in the Han Dynasty was mostly carried by two oxen and was more laborious.

"Well, this is indeed an improvement, but what the effect will be, after practice, can be asserted. You haven't practiced it yet, have you? Wen Chou touched his chin and said.

"Okay, let's ask someone to use it, so that we can find out the shortcomings and make up for the shortcomings." The big man surnamed Wang was also bold, and immediately said. Then he bowed deeply to Wen Chou, and said: "Please also ask Wen Jun to give me some advice!" ”

"Creativity is mentioned by contemptible people, and contemptible people will point it out to the end. However, after this creation, one-fifth of the share cannot be changed. Wen Chou said.

"That is, Wenjun's whimsical ideas, if they can become the plough that Wenjun said, they will be able to make the ploughing land more extensive and the people rich." The man surnamed Wang said.

Originally, he didn't have much hope for the plough that Wen Chouyan said could save a lot of energy, was light and fast, and the cost was not high, to be precise, he didn't believe that there were such utensils in the world! However, according to Wen Chou's words and drawings, after some research, he created this 'Quyuan plow', which can already save the strength of a cow! This took him by surprise! For what Wen Chou said, I also believed it. is also more respectful of Wen Chou. Although I don't know how Wen Chou could have such a whimsy.

"If you become the plough of despicable people's words, you should be the reincarnation of Luban, and be admired by all the people!" Wen Chou said arrogantly.

"Fortunately, thanks to Wenjun's guidance, I don't dare to forget it." The man surnamed Wang said.

In a short time, a few craftsmen came, lifted the 'curved plow' and walked out, found a chariot, and carried it on. Wen Chou and Wang's surname Hanzi, each riding an inferior horse, walked behind, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the plough and the room for improvement.

Out of the township pavilion, everyone walked a distance, and they saw that not far away, there were several families driving their cattle to plough the ground. Walk towards it now. These villagers were quite puzzled and curious when they saw a group of people driving chariots and horses, pulling an unknown object, walking towards them. When he saw that Wenjun was also among them, he couldn't help but get up and salute.

"You don't have to be courteous, when you are busy with farming, the contemptible people have something to ask for, I don't know if to talk about it?" Wen Chou turned over and dismounted, helped an old farmer at the front, and said.

"Wenjun, please tell me, as long as people can do it, they will spare no effort!" The old farmer said excitedly. After he got up, all the people also got up and stood behind him. At this time, a few villagers who were driving the cattle and the villagers who were resting in the field also discovered Wen Chou and his party, and they stopped their work one after another and came to pay their respects.

Seeing this, Wen Chou took a look at this group of people again, there were four young and strong people, nine women and children, and two old people, thinking that they were three or four families who were together. Among them were three ploughing oxen, two of which were being led by two women to plough the land, and the other was resting on an elm tree on a leash. There was also a long plough, resting in the middle of the field, from which four young men and a woman were approaching, apparently ploughing the land by hand.

"How much land have you three families cultivated, today?" Wen Chou asked kindly.

"Hui Wenjun, the three families have gathered to plough the cattle and plough the land, and since the beginning of the day, they have cultivated more than 50 acres!" Indeed, more than 50 acres have been ploughed in only half a day, this achievement is proud enough, if ordinary people can have 40 acres, it is a good result. Because they have a plough working all the time.

"Oh, more than fifty acres, but it's a lot." Wen Chou praised. Then he pointed to the 'curved plow' on the cart and said: "Now, I have a more time-saving and labor-saving plough, would you like to try it?" ”

"A more time-saving plow?" The old man said suspiciously.

"Yes, all you need is a plough pulled by an ox!" The man surnamed Wang added proudly. Then he bowed his hand to Wen Chou and said: "Of course, this is all Wen Jun's idea, and I can create a new kind of plough." ”

These farmers all knew that the man surnamed Wang was a master of agricultural tools, and most of the agricultural tools in their own homes were written by him. In addition, Youwen Chou nodded with a smile on the side, and couldn't help but believe a little bit about this new type of plough that can save time and effort.

"Since Wenjun has a word, the small people have nothing to do!" The old man, on behalf of the villagers, agreed.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start practicing!" Wen Chou Dingyin.

For a while, everyone took action, and two craftsmen lifted the 'curved plow' off the cart. A young man listened to the old farmer's instructions, drove the resting ploughing ox over, and the man surnamed Wang took out the 'cage cover' that matched the 'Quyuan plow', installed one end on the 'Quyuan plow', and placed the other end on the ploughing ox. Then a young man volunteered to hold his hand. Since then, everything is ready to go, just waiting for a try.

The man surnamed Wang circled around the whole set of devices twice, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he waved his hand and said, "Let's start." ”

When the young man who pulled the ploughing ox heard this, he pulled the reins, and the young man who was holding the plough behind him freed up a hand, raised the long whip in his hand, and struck a sound whip with a 'snap'. The ploughing ox was startled and walked forward. Everyone followed the plough closely and observed the plough, and for a while, it was quite strange that they did not speak.

It is tedious, but in fact, it is simple, but in a quarter of an hour, the advantage of the 'curved plow' is revealed, because there is no other situation compared to the long straight plow, except for the original two oxen and three people ploughing, to one ox and two ploughing! This is a more mature plough!

When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed. Seeing this, Wen Chou also nodded with satisfaction, and finally had some results, and it was not in vain for him to plan.

"Well, it's sure to save time, please experience it for yourself whether it saves effort or not!" The man surnamed Wang nodded with satisfaction at first, and then apologized to the four young men.
