Chapter 150 Improving Farm Tools
Jiang Wen was surprised, although the drawings were drawn by him, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, for the two brothers of the Lin family, this may be just a more convenient agricultural tool for them to reclaim wasteland, but he is a scholar, and from the bottom of his heart, he thinks that he wants to serve the court as an official.
They didn't know the power of this farming tool, but he knew that once the farming tool on this drawing was really successfully made, it would be a great invention for the entire Dahua Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Jiang Wen's rough finger bones unconsciously grasped the drawing, once this farm tool is successful, it will intensify the development of agriculture, if it can be popularized, then so many people will starve to death......
Jiang Yan looked at the excitement and shock in Jiang Wen's eyes, she knew what Jiang Wen thought of, Jiang Wen was a farmer, although his family was pampered and never participated in farming, but he was a rural person in the end, and his thoughts were more from the perspective of the people, so after understanding this drawing, he would be so eager.
Jiang Yan asked Jiang Wen to draw a few drawings of the plow, and under the communication of several people and Jiang Yan's deliberate guidance, it slowly became the Quyuan plow in her memory.
The development of the plough here is quite common, has reached the extent that the long straight plough has in every village, but this kind of plough is not flexible enough to turn back when ploughing the land, the soil is laborious, and the efficiency is not very high, and the curved plough is much lighter.
When Jiang Yan returned to the countryside before, she saw that many people used it again, and this short curved plough is also called Jiangdong plow, and compared with the previous plough, there are several major improvements.
First of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also is convenient to turn around and turn, the operation is flexible, and manpower and livestock are saved.
Now this is the most suitable for ploughing paddy fields, and one person can plow several acres of land in a day.
"Thanks to Xiaowen, it's good that you're good at drawing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to draw even if we wanted to." Jiang Yan didn't want to take credit, she deliberately took a few of them, so that when someone asked in the future, she could say that it was a few children who came up with it, and she was just a participant.
Jiang Wen shook his head secretly, others may not know, but he understands better than anyone else that the little aunt is so smart and smart, although this drawing is discussed by everyone together, but the little aunt almost plays a leading role, many key parts, if there is no her, who can draw it.
"The carpenters in our village don't know if they can do it." Jiang Yan muttered, she remembered that the lame uncle in the village was also a carpenter, and the dustpan steamer before was custom-made by him, and she didn't know if he could make these farm tools.
"Mother, Uncle Cripple can do it, I look at this drawing and feel that I can chisel it out, but it will take some time." Lin Dong put away the drawings and continued: "I'll go to Uncle Cripple in detail later, this cocoon is more cumbersome, and our family won't open up wasteland now, so let's get this plow first." ”
Lin Dong himself knows some carpentry work, and the farm tools at home are all chiseled by himself, and the baskets and dustpans are also woven by him one by one, so he has this certainty.
Jiang Yan nodded, and naturally trusted Lin Dong: "No problem, let's take a name for this thing, let's call it Quyuan Plow." ”
Lin Nan scratched his head and wondered: "Why is it called this, our family is making trouble, I think it is better to call it the Jiang family plow." ”
When Jiang Yan heard this, her mind moved, and she immediately said: "This is too casual, it is called Quyuan Plow, also known as Jiangdong Plow." ”
Jiang Wen immediately nodded, and the two names turned around twice in his mouth before he continued: "This name is good, just according to what the little aunt said." ”
He thought for a while and continued: "Little aunt, if this farm tool can be made, it will definitely be half the effort. ”
"Huh?" The brothers of the Lin family looked confused, what other loopholes could they exploit?
Seeing this, Jiang Wen said even more seriously: "The value of this drawing is immeasurable, you have to be careful not to let others know." ”
Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Wen's serious appearance, smacked her tongue in her heart, and said with some tears and laughter: "Xiaowen, I know what you mean, if the farm tools on this drawing can be made, there must be no way to hide them, besides, if it is really easy to use, our whole village, even the entire Yongan Town, all the people, can use it." ”
“!!” Jiang Wen looked shocked, and even a little overly excited: "Little aunt, you may not understand the importance of this drawing, it may be able to exchange for more money, and it may be more than you make in business!" ”
Jiang Yan didn't speak this time, but the corners of her mouth smiled, her eyes shimmered, and she said in a deep voice: "Xiaowen, you have to understand that money is important, it can make us eat well and wear warm clothes, but this is not the standard for measuring everything. ”
Jiang Wen was taken aback, his eyes fell on the drawings, he was narrow-minded.
"You have the heart of a gentleman, the courage of the world, the courage of the world, you read the books of sages hard, you have a scale in your heart, if this drawing is really sold to the powerful, the people may not be able to use it, we are not short of money now, why bother to go through this." Jiang Yan pondered the vocabulary for a moment and said to a few people.
"However, it is better for our family to find out first, and if it works, then tell the village, so that everyone will find it easy to use, and it will gradually become popular."
It is difficult for the boss to accept new things, just like planting late rice, if it were not for Li Zheng and the village chief's strong request, the village would not have planted all of them.
The cocoon car is different from the curved plow, which is related to the harvest results of the farmers throughout the year, especially the cocoon car, if the seeds are affected by the planting, the seedlings do not grow, then there is really no place to cry.
"Little aunt, I'm thinking too much." Jiang Wen lowered his head slightly, a little low.
Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder, she could also analyze Jiang Wen's thoughts clearly, young people want to grasp both ends, thinking about benefiting the people, and thinking about benefits and reputation, there are so many best of both worlds in this world.
"Xiaowen, if you become an official in the future, you must not lose your original intention, money is important, but a gentleman loves money in a good way, you are restless during this time, and it is difficult for me to be stable when you study, but what is the knot?"
Jiang Wen raised his eyes to meet the little aunt's gaze, and at that moment, it seemed as if he was going to be seen through the bottom of his heart.
He pursed his lips slightly, a little embarrassed to speak: "Since the last time I met my little aunt in the nameless bookstore, my heart is like a big stone stuffed, my mind is even more chaotic, my heart is full of barriers, I can't let go, and many things are stagnant. ”
