Chapter 715: New Farm Tools
Wine-making is a complex process, which requires low-temperature saccharification and fermentation, when the sugar reaches its peak, it is sealed with small koji rice wine and raised, and the clear liquid is shot out and then pressed. Even without the lengthy process of storage, it takes a certain amount of time for the sake to be brewed.
Therefore, before the sake came out, half a year passed in a flash, summer and autumn passed quietly, and the winter farming time began to arrive.
Originally, there were still some Li Zheng, squires and businessmen who were not convinced by Zhao Ruxi, and wanted to get a card when collecting grain, which made it difficult for her. But as soon as Chen Kang revealed Zhao Ruxi's details, these people were as obedient as quails, and handed over the grain as soon as possible. This made Cai Yaozong, who had to beg and invite people to dinner in previous years, sighed.
"Lord Zhao, what are you?"
On this day, the people in the yamen saw Zhao Ruxi's guards carrying some strange-shaped things into the courtyard and putting them all on the open space, and the people who came to the yamen surrounded them and asked curiously.
"Farming tools." Zhao Ruxi said.
"Reclamation?" As soon as he heard that it was a farming tool for reclamation, Shi Jingcheng of the workshop was extremely interested, and approached to take a closer look, "This farming tool villain has never seen it before, where did the adult get it?" ”
After getting along, everyone found that Zhao Ruxi actually has a cheerful and atmospheric personality, as long as she doesn't mess with her, she is usually very good at talking, and she is very good to her subordinates.
In particular, the household and the workshop, which are closely related to the affairs she is in charge of, are especially close to her. When it comes to talking, it's not as reserved as it used to be.
"I developed it, drew the drawings and asked someone to build it." Zhao Ruxi said, "Tomorrow we will start to repair water conservancy and reclamation, and everyone must have a tool in their hands." ”
"You developed it?" Shi Jingcheng was taken aback, his eyes were as big as copper bells, looking at the farm tools on the ground and then at Zhao Ruxi, there was no way to associate the farm tools of reclamation with the beautiful noble lady.
Did this noble lady dig the ground? The man-made farming tools that have not even been dug up in the ground are unreliable.
They were talking in the courtyard of the yamen, and Shi Jingcheng spoke loudly? And all those who were in the house heard it.
Liu Hongyu, Cai Yaozong and others heard that Zhao Ruxi had developed a new farm tool? I was also curious to come out of the house and watch.
"After you made it, did you ask someone to try it? Don't it work? You've made so much iron in vain. "Shi Jing admitted.
There were a hundred farm tools piled up in the yard. Although these irons can be taken back to the blacksmith shop and melted to do something else? But it takes a lot of effort to make these farm tools. If it's useless, the manual cost will be completely wasted.
Zhao Ruxi saw Liu Hongyu come out? smiled: "Lord Liu came out, just right?" The lower official is about to report this matter to you. ”
She pointed to the farm tools on the ground: "These farm tools I developed?" I have reported to the emperor. The emperor will send officials from the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to see the effect of using them to reclaim the famine. ”
Liu Hongyu: "......"
Although Zhao Ruxi is in charge of the farmland, the farm tools were developed by herself, and she has the right to report directly to the emperor. But this disagreement will be reported to the emperor, so that the emperor's eyes will always pay attention to the little Nanyang? His Liu Hongyu's little heart can't stand it.
How many times did countless words turn around on the lips? He picked out some euphemistic words and said: "Lord Zhao can develop agricultural tools, which is a great thing for the country and the people." It's just that I think, let's use it in Nanyang first, so that the old farmers feel good and then report to the emperor? Maybe it's safer. ”
"That's what Lord Liu said. I'll keep an eye out for it in the future. Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.
These farm tools were obtained by her spending a lot of points, so naturally they couldn't be given in vain. She just took it out? Maybe one day someone will take credit for it, saying that he invented it? Then she would have to vomit to death.
So she made the farm tools out and let people try them in the Zhaofu vegetable garden? I drew a picture and took the real thing? Write a letter describing it? Let someone send it to Master Jingzhong and ask him to bring it into the palace to show Xiao Qi.
As for whether Xiao Qi plans to directly announce the style of farm tools and let businessmen from all over the world make money, or whether she wants to open a farm tool production workshop with her to make a little money, it depends on the emperor's own choice.
However, based on a scientific and rigorous attitude, in order to have an actual data to show the high efficiency of this thing, before mass production and promotion of this new farm tool to the farmers of the entire Dajin Dynasty, Xiao Qi still decided to send people from the Ministry of Industry to Nanyang to take a look and count the reclamation situation after using the new farm tool.
That's why tomorrow the officials of the Ministry of Industry will come to see the farm tools.
She has a total of three types of farming tools here.
One is the nail hoe, which is more labor-saving than the strip hoe.
There is also a combination of a hoe and a shovel. She made two rows of nails with this kind of nail shovel, and there is a flat foot stepping force point at the upper end of the shovel, which can better use the strength of the foot to step into the soil, and then use the power of the lever to pry the soil up.
Both types of farming tools are used by one person, and it depends on which one is more comfortable for personal use. Because in modern times, this kind of farming tool is used on a large scale by people, it is relatively mature, and there is no problem, so the number of her production is relatively large, and there are fifty of each kind. It can be used by 100 people.
In addition, she also made a more complex turning tool, including a turning fork and a crushing fork. The fork contains a fork head, a fork head holder and a fork handle, and the fork contains a fixed frame and a longitudinal cutting strip.
This kind of tool is more complicated to make, and it is what the system sees on the network. But perhaps because of the modern mechanization of agriculture, this tool has not been popularized in modern times, and no one has ever used it. She was curious, so she drew a picture and made it.
I don't know if there is a problem with the designer's design itself, or the information stolen by the system is not comprehensive, after this tool is made, Zhao Ruxi asked people to try it in the vegetable field in the backyard of Zhao's house, although it can also be used, but it always feels a little awkward.
Therefore, she has not taken out this kind of tool now, and plans to ponder and improve it, so that it can really be promoted on a large scale after turning the ground efficiently.
The next day, Zhao Ruxi went directly to the place she chose to reclaim the wasteland.
When she arrived, Shi Jingcheng, the servant of the workshop, was already waiting there with new farm tools. In addition to them, Liu Hongyu, Cai Yaozong and Li Li also arrived.
"Lord Liu, Lord Cai, Master Li, why are you here?" Zhao Ruxi asked in surprise.
"Hahaha, isn't this curious about your new farming tools? So let's take a look. Liu Hongyu said.
