Dream back to Chang'an City 032 New plow
"What is this?" Li Jing helped lift two strange things out of the warehouse.
"Plow!"
"Plow?" Although Li Jing is now a senior general of the Tang Dynasty, he has seen what the plow looks like.
The plough is basically straight now, and it's not small.
But Tang Ping said that the plow looked like a plow, but it was curved and much smaller.
The most important thing is that it should be the position of the plowshare, which is a piece of steel with a cold glow.
In the eyes of a military general like him, the use of stainless steel to plough the ground is basically similar to the destruction of heavenly things.
"Let's go and try it in the fields!" Tang Ping only knew from the novel that the Quyuan plow was easier and less labor-saving than the straight plow, but he didn't know how it was.
Out of the courtyard door, Tang Ping frowned and asked Lu Yi beside him: "Didn't I say it, don't you rest today?" ”
He started thinking about going back today, and he didn't go out, but now when he came out, he realized that he had said that he would let everyone rest today, but everyone was still working.
Lu Yi bowed his head and said, "Everyone is grateful for the kindness of the son, and they took the initiative to come out to work." Besides, working for the proprietor, let them rest for three days a month, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”
"Rules?" Tang Ping frowned: "In Shanghe Village, my rules are rules!" ”
He knew that in the Tang Dynasty, the emphasis was on doing nine days off and one day off, that is, one day out of ten days out of every ten days was a rest day.
But this is for officials, and for tenants, how is it possible to enjoy the same treatment as officials?
This was the first time Tang Ping had spoken to the people around him so seriously, in fact, it was mainly because he had just returned from another time and space.
Originally, when the two sides were compared, I felt that the people here were really hard.
Now he was told that this was the rule, so he didn't know how, and a nameless fire suddenly rose.
In fact, this is a very normal psychological phenomenon: sympathy for the weak!
This is a kind of psychology that most people have, in the Tang Dynasty, it was natural for tenant farmers at the bottom of society to work for the master's family, but in Tang Ping's eyes, they were undoubtedly weak.
Lu Yi was frightened by Tang Ping's words, and immediately knelt beside Tang Ping: "Son, atonement!" ”
Tang Ping held his forehead, how many times did he say don't kneel, don't kneel!
"Alright, Luyi, get up! I'm not targeting you, you're going to tell everyone that the rest is to give them more strength to work for me! Tang Ping can only explain it this way:
"People's strength is limited, and doing nine days of work allows everyone to rest for a day to recover their strength, so that they can dare to work more in the next nine days. If you do the math, you will have to do more work every 10 days than you do for 30 days in a row. ”
"Yes, Childe!"
Li Jing also came out to change the topic: "Little Brother Tang, doesn't this plow use oxen?" ”
"We don't have cattle in Shanghe Village, but we should be able to pull them!" Tang Ping said to Lu Yi: "Tell everyone to come and learn how to use this plow." ”
So all the people in the field called over, and respectfully called out to the proprietor, and stood around, looking curiously.
Tang Ping inserted the plow into the ground from behind, and then asked Du Laosan to drag it from the front.
Du Laosan originally thought that it would be very difficult to pull it up, after all, it turned out to be a plow, but it needed two oxen to pull it together.
As a result, with a slight force, the plough behind him turned over the earth, leaving a deep trench.
"Wait!" Li Jing, who was standing on the side, shouted, then walked up to Du Laosan and said, "Let me come!" ”
Du Laosan turned out to be Li Jing's subordinate, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey, and obediently handed over the rope in front to Li Jing.
Li Jing stepped out in one step, looked back, and it was exactly the same as what he had just seen next to him.
The unbelieving man pulled the plough and ran two steps harder, leaving behind a very deep ditch.
"Someone!" Li Jing drank heavily, and the four guards who came with him stepped forward.
Li Jing said to Tang Ping: "Little Brother Tang, the stakes are very high, only if you are offended, now no one here can leave." ”
"General Li, why is this?"
Li Jing thought of Tang Ping's identity, leaned closer and whispered, "Little Brother Tang, how can you easily show such an artifact?" I will send this thing to the palace immediately, and I can only grieve the little brother Tang and everyone in Shanghe Village. ”
Okay, as soon as Tang Ping said this, he understood, this Li Jing is probably afraid that this plow-making technology will be spread, but this kind of thing actually doesn't have much technical content, and it can't be kept secret for too long.
After talking to Li Jing, he brought all the people from Shanghe Village back to his courtyard, and outside the courtyard were Li Jing's four tense guards.
"The owner will be fine, right?"
"Probably not, you also saw the plow just now, it's really an artifact!"
"But no, now the soil is still frozen, and there were Turkic cavalry trampling back and forth a month ago, I was thinking a few days ago that even if I borrowed two oxen, I don't know how long it would take to plow the ground in the village, but I saw that the general just now could drag it alone, no slower than two oxen dragging it!"
Wang Tieniu was also a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to Tang Ping's side.
"The owner!"
"What's wrong? Tie Niu, he taught you the baby's words a few days ago, can he recognize them all? If you don't understand, just ask me! ”
After listening to Tang Ping's words, Wang Tieniu was even more moved, and finally made up his mind to approach Tang Ping and said: "Why don't you run first, the four guards outside are guarding a few directions separately, and I will desperately help you entangle one." ”
Tang Ping didn't expect Wang Tieniu to say this, and patted his increasingly strong shoulder: "Don't worry, General Li just wants to keep it secret for the time being, and it won't be unfavorable to me!" ”
On the other hand, Li Jing came to the city gate with a plow, and immediately asked the defenders to get him a car, threw the plow and covered it with a cloth, and then hurried to the palace.
After the simultaneous interpretation, Li Jing was quickly brought in, but was stopped outside the Xiande Hall again.
"General Li, what is this?" The palace guards saw that Li Jing was carrying a big cloth bag, how could they let him go in to see Li Shimin like this.
Li Jing was about to speak, when Li Shimin's voice came from inside: "No need to stop, can General Li still harm me?" ”
So the palace guards got out of the way, and Li Jing put the plow on the ground with a bang after entering.
"General Li didn't go to me...... Did you send something? Why did you resist something and come back? Li Jiancheng asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, the two princes, this is from Little Brother Tang!" As he spoke, Li Jing pulled out the coarse cloth covering the plow.
"It's so steel!" Li Yuanji's eyes were filled with a cold steel plowshare.
"It looks like a plow." Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "This is a plow, right?" It's not the same as what you see on weekdays. ”
Although he was the emperor, he also traveled south and north for more than ten years in the early years of establishing the Tang Dynasty, how could he not have seen a plow.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the plow, but this plow can be pulled with only one ox, no, it can be pulled by one person, and the operation is extremely simple."
"Smack!" With a bang, it was Li Shimin who stood up and Taiji, the stool fell behind him, and there was a loud bang in the empty Xiande Hall.
