After Emperor Zhou Ping received the last report of the great victory, he was even more proud, and specially explained that Gu Shao insisted and made Xiyun Kingdom pay the price. If Xiyun Guo is not convinced, he can continue to fight.

Anyway, there are still 80,000 prisoners of war, and even if Xiyun Kingdom does not spend money to redeem it, Da Zhou will have more than 80,000 strong laborers who do not spend money, which is also very cost-effective.

Gu Shao is full of confidence in the next negotiations. This confidence comes from the toughness of Emperor Zhou Ping, and also from Li Yuanqing's invincibility on the battlefield and the annihilation of a large number of enemies.

In short, it is very good, even if there are still strange voices in the court, they can no longer influence the overall situation.

Although Liu Paner was very worried about the affairs in the capital, she believed that Li Yuanqing had a way to protect herself.

Emperor Zhou Ping had ambitions and would inevitably take action.

Coupled with the sweet potatoes and potatoes with high-yield crops, gradually spread, enough food, can have a larger population, and the country will become more prosperous.

She was not good at those things on the battlefield, so Liu Paner focused on improving farm tools.

She found books on the transformation of farm implements in the space, and then found the best plough for the terraces.

The graphics above are very detailed, and the individual parts are drawn separately on the drawing.

The charcoal specially made by Liu Paner played a role at this time.

Fortunately, I have studied sketching before, and I was able to draw these figures as they are, convert them to their current size, and mark them on them.

Although there is still a Spring Festival Party on the 26th of the lunar month, with the experience of the first Spring Festival Party, Liu Paner does not need to spend too much thought.

When the county magistrate Liu learned that Liu Paner wanted to improve the farm tools, he immediately sent a carpenter and a blacksmith to assist Liu Paner.

Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou received the orders of Liu County's order, and hurriedly packed their luggage and tools and came to Jixiang Village.

In particular, the blacksmith of Zhou even pulled the furnace for forging with an ox cart.

Liu Pan'er saw people coming and placed them in the ear room in the front yard.

It was a small square courtyard, with three rooms in the main house, two on each side. It's not a lot of space, but it's enough.

It was used as a makeshift workshop for improving agricultural tools.

Liu Paner gave the drawings to Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou.

Not all parts of the iron plough are made of iron, and many parts are made of wood.

Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou received an explanation from Liu County's order and asked them to obey Liu Paner's orders.

Carpenter Wang smiled and said, "Lady Drey, don't worry, the little one will do all these parts according to your instructions." ”

Liu Paner also replied politely: "You can be reused by Lord Liu, which proves that your craftsmanship is very good." The previous iron plough was very difficult to turn, so I thought about improving it. If it doesn't work once, let's change it twice, and it's man-made, and we will definitely be able to solve this problem. ”

Blacksmith Zhou replied: "Madame is smart and blessed, we will definitely be able to make it smoothly this time." ”

Of course, Liu Paner is confident that the improved Quyuan plow is more in line with the needs. These drawings are the essence of thousands of years of testing.

From this day on, the two of them have been in the small courtyard behind closed doors, making related parts.

It only took two days for Carpenter Wang to make all the wooden parts.

Blacksmith Zhou created a sharper, lighter, more labor-saving, iron ploughshare according to Liu Paner's graphics and dimensions.

Liu Paner came over, followed by a small tail Li Xiaobao.

The boy was very interested in improving the iron plow, and every day after eating and writing his homework, he came to observe, and sometimes helped deliver tools.

The iron plough is going to be installed today, and Li Xiaobao is also very excited.

I was a little rusty when I assembled the first iron plow, but with experience, I was much faster when I assembled the remaining two iron plows.

Carpenter Wang smiled: "Mrs. Drey, it has been installed now, the materials are saved, and the plow is also sharp. It's just that it's winter, and it's frozen, otherwise you can test it now, can you turn briskly? Is it possible to save effort? ”

Blacksmith Zhou also smiled and said, "Yes, if such a plow is durable, it can indeed save one percent of the iron." One ploughshare saves so much, ten or twenty, or even more, then the savings of iron are considerable. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "There's no hurry." Now that three pairs of quyuan ploughs have been completed, after the New Year and the Lantern Festival, you can plow the land, and it is not too late to test it. ”

When Li Xiaobao heard this, his eyes lit up, "Mother, I have a way." ”

Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment and touched Li Xiaobao's head, "What can you do about this little guy?" Now the ground is frozen, and if it comes hard, it will hurt the ploughshare too much. ”

Li Xiaobao smiled and said: "Mother, I know that the frozen land is indeed not able to cultivate the land now, but we can go to the place where it is not frozen." ”

Liu Pan'er was puzzled, "Where is there no freezing place now?" ”

"Of course there is, when I go to a place with hot springs, when my father was hunting, he said that after crossing two mountains, there will be a large hot spring bubble. The temperature around it is quite high, and it does not freeze for many years. Li Xiaobao replied, "Isn't it good to go there for testing?" ”

Liu Pan'er was moved, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head, "No, you also said that you have to cross two mountains, and it is deep in the dense forest, there must be many fierce beasts." People are not safe in that environment. ”

While she also wants to get tested as soon as possible, safety is paramount.

Li Xiaobao nodded, "Mother, that's right, now let's have a good New Year." We'll talk about that later. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled and said to Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou: "It's the New Year soon, you should go back first." After the Lantern Festival, when it doesn't freeze, you come back again. I have asked you to prepare some New Year's gifts and wish you a happy New Year. ”

Carpenter Wang and Blacksmith Zhou hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, madam." ”

Eating and drinking, a basket full of backs, the two of them left happily.

After the Spring Festival Party in Jixiang Town, I used the reward money given by Liu Paner to buy some things and go home.

The two-day Spring Festival was particularly successful, and the surrounding villagers were quite fond of the things in the town.

Several villages that are relatively close to Jixiang Town feel that the things here are quite complete, so there is no need to go to Baisha Town to buy food, fabrics, and daily necessities.

This is the purpose of Liu Paner's Spring Festival party.

Starting from the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the people of the entire Jixiang Village began to prepare for the New Year.

The Liu family couldn't wait for a long time, this was their first New Year in the south, and of course they had to be well prepared and colorful.

Liu took his daughters and nieces to make rice cakes with the village chief Li next door, and learned from the locals to make rice cakes. However, the people of Jixiang Village still retain the previous customs and absorb the interesting customs of the south. The activities during the Chinese New Year are more abundant and interesting.

Liu Paner took inventory at home and made the final inventory.

How much money was earned, how much was spent, and how much was left in the end, are listed on the ledger one by one, and it is clear at a glance.

In the end, Liu Paner had to sigh that she earned more and spent more.

Next year, we will make persistent efforts and achieve better results.

At this time, Liu Paner heard someone knocking on the door.
