Chapter 31 Spring Ploughing and Spring Planting

Spring blossoms, not only the earth is green, but even nearly half of the mulberry branches that Yang Heng took cuttings a year ago have sent out green shoots, obviously, even if there is no germination, it will not be done, and the uncles also bought the remaining 200 acres of barren land.

At this time, the uncles were not in a hurry to open up the wasteland, but first helped Yang Heng to plant the mulberry seedlings that had been raised, and the mulberry seedlings were planted in the ten acres of fields on the bank of the river, and then the rice was planted.

"Sister-in-law, nephew, what kind of plow are you using, or let's try it." When the mulberry trees were planted in front, the fields were not ploughed, but the deep ploughing of the wasteland years ago was enough, but this was about to plant rice, as well as the cultivation of dry fields, all of which needed to plough the fields again, so Yang Heng's new plow showed its power, the old lady supported the plow in the back, and Yang Heng pulled in front.

But the old lady's movements are too uncoordinated, she can't help the plow, and Yang Heng only needs to walk in a straight line in front, the uncles found that the old lady helped the plow crookedly, but the field is very deep, and even the speed is quite fast, but after a while, the old lady is familiar with how to help the plow, this speed is even faster, the uncles wondered, this plow generally needs two oxen to pull in front, and even the person who supports the plow in the back has to carry the plow, it looks very tired, and the sister-in-law and nephew are using what kind of plow.

It was said that the uncles were not very good at plowing the land, but they could also see the quality of the plow, so they were naturally quite puzzled, so they also opened their mouths to plow the field to see.

"Uncle, I thought it would take you a while to see how good this plow is, or you should plow it around first, and then I will explain it to you."

"Third child, you pull it, I'll support you in the back." Among these uncles, the second uncle still knows more about the fields, who makes him the oldest and has the most contact with the fields, so he has to help the plow.

"It's good, second brother, don't let it go too deep, I may not be able to pull it, I don't have the strength of my eldest nephew." As he spoke, the third uncle put the rope on his shoulder. "Ahh The third uncle screamed and fell to the ground, this is because he used his strength too much, and he didn't pay attention, so he didn't keep up with the footsteps, so he naturally fell on the ground.

"Second brother, didn't you put the plow into the ground, you see I have used so much strength, what if you flash my waist." The third uncle complained.

"What, it's too much force you're using, this is a new plow, you can't slow down and try to exert yourself, I said the third child, you're always so rough and rough, can't you be more steady, okay, okay, you come to support the plow, I'll pull it." The second uncle was also unhappy.

As he spoke, the second uncle went to the front and took the rope from the third uncle's hand.

"Okay, second brother, I'll help you up, you can go." The second uncle is naturally not as rough as the third uncle, but he slowly exerted himself, "Second brother, are you very tired, or I will intervene more shallowly." "No, you can just help it." As he spoke, the second uncle mastered the strength and began to move forward, slowly, the second uncle's pace was faster, this field was turned over once a year ago, and naturally it was easier to plow now, but the old plow, even if it was turned over a few times, it would not be so easy, and the second uncle in front of him liked this job a little, pulling the plow and running, but the third uncle who was supporting the plow in the back was a little tired, and this plow was also a technical work, if it was not a good hand, naturally the plough would also be affected.

"Second brother, you slow down, slow down, I can't keep up." "Second brother, third brother, stop for a moment, let's try too." The fifth uncle and the uncle were also anxious on the side, especially the uncle, he seemed to have seen a new toy again, he was a carpenter, this has a new tool, how can he do it without trying it himself?

"This plow is indeed good, eldest nephew, what does this mean?" After trying the new plow, the uncle asked first. "This should be regarded as a Quyuan plow (Yang Heng is not too sure, because he doesn't know what a Quyuan plow is, that is, all parts of the plow don't know what the road should be called), you see uncle, this place, is a fixed direction, and this place, is a fixed depth, as long as you pull up here, or insert it down, this depth will change, and the most important thing above is this plowshare, and this place to turn the soil, are all made of good iron, and the plow is to break the soil below, Then this plough turned the soil aside, and naturally it was fast, and it was very easy, and I don't know what kind of plough you used before. "Although Yang Heng doesn't know what the old plough is like, he has also studied history before, the plow at this time is really not powerful, and the Quyuan plow should have appeared after Li Er became the emperor or later, or somewhere, the prototype of the Quyuan plow may have appeared, but even if there is a new plough, it is not as easy to use as Yang Heng made, this is a very good plow that has been transformed after thousands of years of history.

"Well, well, well, why didn't I think of it, just such a simple thing, just put it together, this ploughing speed is much faster, and even our family without cattle can easily cultivate the field." Uncle remorseful on the side.

Although this is simple, not everyone can develop it, even if Yang Heng has not seen this kind of plow, he can't make it out of thin air, and he really admires the person who developed the Quyuan plow in later generations.

With the new plow, naturally Yang Heng's farming work was carried out very smoothly, when the father came back, Yang Heng's fields had been planted, and even the fields of the four uncles' families were planted, not that Yang Heng was stingy, but Yang Heng also had his considerations, and did not let the people in the village know about the Quyuan plow, when the father came back, those woods had been cut out of a width of more than 100 meters by the old lady and Yang Heng, and the uncles were in the back to help carry the trees, pile up branches and weeds, Even in the preparation of the timber they need to build their own houses, the uncles are not in a hurry to build a house, now they still have a house to live in, naturally they are not in a hurry, when they bought this wasteland, the uncle also gave him five families to register as a guarantee, this guarantee is to supervise each other, that is, a method for the ancient court to control the farmers below, that is, during the Anti-Japanese War in Yang Heng's previous life, the little devils all adopted such a system.
