After the seeds have been planted, and then some dry powder also falls in another set of bins, the zuihou combination plow will turn over the soil and cover the seeds.

Two hundred meters and four or five minutes passed, and then the man on the plow came down and put the wheels on again.

The steam engine reversed, and the plow was quickly pulled back up to 200 meters away.

The plough was moved horizontally to the uncultivated side, that is, six meters and fifty centimeters.

"Why is there a spare one?" Cui Yingying didn't understand, so she asked in a whisper.

At that moment, a personal guard explained beside him: "Leave a piece that is just compacted with a wide wheel, and people can usually walk on it, whether it is watering or fertilizing, it is more convenient." ”

Li Er and Li Yuanxing didn't speak, and the two of them did the same thing, that is, they were holding the watch and timing it.

Li Yuanxing used a watch, and Li Er used a pocket watch.

After the plough has been shifted, the preparers on both sides begin to fill it with seeds, dry pulverized fertilizer, and then release the wheel buckle to allow the plow to touch the ground again.

The steam engine was much heavier, and there was a little gear set there, and after the conversion, the power could be transferred to its own wheels, and it was translated six meters on that rail, because the wheels, and that gear set was just borrowing the power of some cable reels, so it was not fast.

Six meters takes a minute.

But at this minute, it is just right for the plow to pan and load.

Once again......

"Gorou, you can work nine to twelve times in about an hour, and if you take it, count it as ten times. That is, fifty acres per hour, and three people are required for steam engines. Twelve plows and eight auxiliaries, for a total of twenty-three. Twenty-three people, one healthy cow for every four people, plus one person, can be divided into six groups! ”

Li Erzai and Li Yuanxing were calculating.

Li Er, the emperor, did not grow up in the warm fragrant nephrite since he was a child, he knew soldiers and farmers.

"A group of four, one acre a day is considered a hard-working people. If there are no oxen, the plough is pulled by manpower. Half an acre a day is hard work. Plough again from here to depth. I'm afraid that five cows can't plough such a deep ground, which is 200 acres based on four hours a day. Five hours a day, these four machines were sent by Yaozhou. plus a hundred men to do the work. A thousand acres can be ploughed in one day. ”

Li Er's calculations, Li Yuanxing was a little unimpressed.

It's only a thousand acres a day. So how long does it take to complete a million acres, or to finish the work in ten days, and 400 such machines are needed. And in the meantime, there can be no machine breakdown, or there are big stones in the soil, only pure land can be used, if there are big stones, the tension on both sides is unbalanced, and the machine will turn over.

Besides, things like steam engines don't break when you use them every day.

If you leave it for ten days and half a month, maybe there will be a problem there.

Four hundred steam engines, not to mention how much it costs to produce, then after farming, the utilization rate of these steam engines is there, just for the cultivation of these days, it is of little significance.

"Goro, you seem to be dissatisfied with this speed!" Li Er asked softly.

Li Yuanxing nodded.

"Gorou, you're thinking too much. You still know that the military and the people should come step by step. What about the machine, you want to be immediately extremely practical, and the craftsmen can do it this way, and be rewarded! ”

"What the royal brother said is in the middle, and the younger brother is in a hurry. I think that there will be millions of acres of fertile land in Huazhou, and there is not enough manpower to cultivate it, which is really a waste. But the younger brother was also thinking that just making hundreds of such machines for farming would be a huge waste after they were idle. ”

Li Er nodded: "Gorou is right, but the efforts of craftsmen should be rewarded!" ”

"Your Highness, this steam engine is for the mill." Shui Siyuan whispered next to him.

Mill, this is a waste!

Such a powered steam engine is only used by the mill, so how many surfaces do you have to grind every day?

Li Yuanxingxin said, it is better to leave a few for the mill, and the rest for the marble workshop.

"Okay, reward, reward!"

Li Ercai doesn't care what you Li Yuanxing thinks, in Li Er's eyes, Li Yuanxing will never be satisfied with the development of the machine. Now Li Er has seen the benefits of the machine, a thousand acres a day, this speed is really gratifying.

"Another 5,000 acres of corn, there will be enough rations for the military camps in Huazhou!" Li Er gave another order.

"Are you going back to Chang'an?" Li Yuanxing asked suddenly.

"No return!" Li Er and Li Jing replied at the same time, there is still a lot to see here, and it is not easy to start studying Li Yuanxing's management method of a state, so it is natural to look at it thoroughly.

Li Yuanxing exhaled a long breath: "Then I'll go back to Chang'an!" ”

"No way!" Li Er and Li Jing refused at the same time.

Li Yuanxing whispered: "Mingyue has returned to Chang'an, and she didn't come here." But I really went to Qinwangzhuang, and I was really scared, she has recently lived in Yaozhou, and she will dismantle things in my Qinwangzhuang, so I want to go back and watch. ”

"Mingyue is working hard in Yaozhou, why is there anything to be nervous about taking away some goods." Li Er, this can be regarded as saying that Li Yuanxing is wrong.

Li Yuanxing couldn't help it, just nodded silently.

What Li Yuanxing is nervous about, he is not nervous about anything, but there are letters written by Li Lanshan to several princesses in his study, this thing is better not to let Wu Cao see it, save trouble.

Qin Qiong is back.

Li Jing went over to ask the sergeant about the matter, but Qin Qiong said to Li Yuanxing: "Wulang, please return to Chang'an quickly!" ”

"Go back to Chang'an immediately!" Li Yuanxing was overjoyed.

But he heard Qin Qiong continue: "Something big happened, someone in the Eastern Turks secretly sent 30,000 catties of steel to Goguryeo. The one who bought the goods was the one you mentioned, and the one who shipped it was the subordinates of the Tuli Khan. At the moment whether the Turki Khan knew about this than the deal, has not yet been ascertained! ”

"One, or several?" The smile that had just appeared on Li Yuanxing's face sank.

"I don't know!" Qin Qiong had just gotten an urgent order.

Li Yuanxing's eyes turned to Li Er, and he was about to speak, but he saw Li Eryi waving his hand: "It doesn't matter for my brother, Datang has too many things to deal with for my brother." At present, as a brother, I have to care about the life of the Datang military family, the morality of the Datang soldiers, and the trivial matter of a little steel, Gorou will deal with it by himself! ”

"Brother Huang, that brother will go to Chang'an immediately!"

A small thing, can this be a small thing? Li Yuanxing's face darkened, and together with Qin Qiong, he took two personal guards and headed for Chang'an Pegasus.

After Li Yuanxing left, Li Jing asked, "Shengshang, do you really care?" This is no small matter! ”

"I know, but do you know that the second step of Gorou sheep eating people in the grassland was supposed to start in April, but now it's June, and it's about to be July, but it still hasn't moved?"

Li Er asked a seemingly unrelated question.

Li Jing understood.

Li Er is complaining, not only complaining about Tianyingge, but also complaining about Li Yuanxing.

Because of the surprising cooperation on the grassland in the past six months, everything has been in line with the Tang Dynasty, so Qin Wangfu and Tianying Pavilion have postponed Jihua. There are two reasons, one is that there are still many internal problems in Datang, and Tianyingge believes that the internal problems should be solved first. And another reason is on Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing believed that since the Eastern Turks had shown their intention to submit, they should not drive the people on the steppe to a dead end.

30,000 catties of steel, in the future is 40 tons, this amount seems to be not much, but the nature is extremely bad.

Li Yuanxing's face was really dark, and he couldn't help but scold when he rode on the horse: "A group of bastard things, it's only been a few days since they were relaxed, and their courage is boundless!" ”

Qin Qiong didn't speak, but had a feeling of secret joy.

Naturally, there is also the great Tang Emperor Li Er, who made Li Yuanxing more murderous towards the Turks. The life of the Turks is not good, and the life of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be better.

"It's a trap!" Li Er touched his beard and whispered to Li Jing.

Li Jing also nodded: "The saint is wise, some dogs who don't know the power of whips are still a little wolf-like." ”

"Don't underestimate Goro's whip!" Li Er smiled with satisfaction, and Li Jing also laughed with him.

Li Yuanxing hurried back to Chang'an, and the distance from Huazhou to Chang'an was eighty miles in a straight line, and it would take at least one hundred miles to walk by road. Li Yuanxing's longest distance on horseback before was thirty miles, but now he rested for ten minutes in twenty miles, and it took two hours to rush back to Chang'an City in one go.

Sitting in the main hall of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, Li Yuanxing felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Qin Qiong is fine, and the two guards are even more fine.

The first thing Qin Qiong did after entering the house was to ask someone to bring the original copy of the information and the translation of the haode part.

But Li Yuanxing didn't look at this information, but ordered someone to go to the Tiance General's Mansion to find Wei Zheng, sit on the soft cushion on the side, let the little officials here make a cup of tea for themselves, and then asked for a few snacks from a famous restaurant in Chang'an City, and began to rest.

"Gorou, I've received another piece of information. Eight days ago, it was sent from Goguryeo's Gonei City and the Wu brothers. This city was transported to 10,000 catties of steel, and the steel ingots had the logo of Qin Wangzhuang, which was placed in the city for three days, and then loaded onto ships and transported away, and about 2,000 catties were sold privately to the nobles in the city! ”

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly: "Brother Uncle Bao!" Is this 30,000 catties reliable? ”

Qin Qiong was also thinking about it, and replied after a while: "It should be reliable." Ten pounds of ingots, this can be counted in quantity, and a certain spy under the staff to inquire about this kind of news, the security department has a rule, if the number is not determined, then report a guess of the data, but must be declared a guess! ”

"What Brother Shubao means is that if the exact number is reported, it is really found, and even if there is a difference, it will not be too much!" Li Yuanxing asked.

Qin Qiong nodded: "That's exactly the reason!" ”

"Wait for Wei Changshi to come over, there are many doubts about this matter." (To be continued......)
