Chapter 206: Get the artifact, seeding machine
After the county order left, Li Er sighed helplessly.
Although he was pitted, and he was so pitted.
Maybe it's just that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the luckiest thing for me was to go to Zhaojiazhuang and meet the virtuous brother.
It can be said that it is to add a touch of joy to its own pain.
"Someone, call the officials of the Ministry of Industry to come and see me!"
"Your Majesty."
The officials of the Ministry of Works arrived at the palace and met the Holy One.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
"I ask you, how has the matter of the new plough stick been handled?"
"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty arranged the new ploughstick, we have arranged for craftsmen to build a lot.
It has been sent to the surrounding state capitals and counties, and presumably the officials of the state capitals and counties have also been ordered to build it.
At the beginning of spring this year, the people can use it. ”
This new type of plough stick is very convenient to plough the land, and if the people use it this year, they can plough more land, and this autumn will definitely be a good harvest year.
"Well, I'll leave the matter of the plough stick to you.
I must make sure that the people around Chang'an City can use it this year. ”
"Your Majesty."
The officials of the Ministry of Industry left the Taiji Palace, Li Er looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji and waved his hand, asking him to go back first, if he had something to do, he would send someone to call him.
"Your Majesty's ministers have retired."
A few days passed quietly.
In the next period of time, Chang'an City is exceptionally calm inside and outside, and spring feels closer and closer, and it won't be long before a new round of cultivation begins.
Jingle bell, ding bell bell.
Zhaojiazhuang blacksmith shop.
This winter, the list of blacksmiths has skyrocketed, and the people in the blacksmith shop have never been idle, and they have been working there all the time.
However, everyone's hard work was also rewarded, and everyone was rewarded by Zhao Mu.
Spring plowing and sowing will begin soon, and this planter must not be delayed.
......
"Experiment."
He brought the oxen over and placed the planter behind the oxen, and put wheat in the box of the planter.
With the flicking of the leather whip, the ploughing ox slowly advanced, and as the ploughing ox advanced, the seeder began to move forward.
Four iron wheels began to turn, pushing the gears inside, and the wheat seeds in the box fell to the ground and were buried directly by the earth.
After walking two large circles, the people took a look at the land where they had been sown, and the seeds of wheat were hidden inside.
Both the depth and the number of seeds are 10 points in place.
And the depth of burial, the number of wheat seeds can also be controlled, everyone cheers, success, success.
reported the news to his young master as soon as possible.
Den.
"Young master, young master, good news, the seeder you let us build has been successful.
We have just experimented with ourselves, and it is exactly the same in terms of the depth of sowing, the speed of sowing, and the seeds sown. ”
"Succeeded? Okay, take me to see it. ”
"Ah, Brother Xian,
What's wrong, what's going on? What seeder? What succeeded again?
Alas, alas, I said virtuous brother, virtuous brother, wait for me, wait for me! ”
In a clearing, Li Er saw a strange-shaped iron lump pulled behind the ploughing ox.
The four iron wheels are not yet round like the horse-drawn wheels, and one of the wheels has iron bars that can go deep into the ground.
A farmer poured wheat into a box, and Li Er stepped forward to take a look.
"Come on, let's go!"
When the cultivation starts, the four wheels turn, and there is nothing strange about it.
Zhao Mu stepped forward, bent down and rummaged through it carefully, and saw the seeds that fell into the ground.
I took another step forward and continued walking, about 10 meters away, with a smile on my face.
Yes, they did succeed.
Datang's first seeder was finally developed by itself.
As for the seeding machine, I wanted to develop it long ago, but because the scale of my Zhuangzi was not particularly large at that time, and the population was not as large as it is now, I did not invent it.
Now more than 1,000 acres of land have been reclaimed, and it is still a bit time-consuming and laborious to rely on this little manual cultivation.
Therefore, the development of science and technology has become the first element.
Wait until this year to arrange a few thousand acres of land, and you will be a proper big landlord.
"Young master, with the more than 1,000 acres of land newly reclaimed by this seeder, our sowing speed is at least 5 times that of manual sowing."
The housekeeper sighed secretly on the side.
"Well, 5 times is still available, but this seeder also has its own shortcomings.
Usually, only one person is needed to sow seeds, and he must have a ploughing ox, and someone needs to lead him in front of him to prevent the ploughing ox from going astray.
Although the cost of this input is also high, compared with manual sowing, the efficiency has reached a flying high. ”
During the conversation between Zhao Mu and the housekeeper, the group of people who went to sow seeds arrived at Zhao Mu's side again.
"Young Master!"
"Yes, yes, I'm very satisfied with this seeder.
Passing on my commands, and in the creation of many people, you must remember that according to what I say, you must be open-minded.
For example, if you put three of the same seeders in a row, there are two ploughing oxen in front of you.
Is this a round trip, three times that of a seeder? ”
Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this.
Remembering what happened before, wasn't the new type of plough stick they had developed long ago just three together?
In this way, the efficiency of ploughing can be tripled or more than one plough stick at a time.
If they use this way, connect the three seeders together, and operate it like this, it is too strong.
When Li Er heard Zhao Mu's idea, he also fantasized in his heart.
If there is such a seeding machine, which is operated in the entire Datang, how fast is the sowing speed of this 10,000 acres of fertile land?
This is simply another artifact, and I came here today just to come to his Zhaojiazhuang to take a look, stroll around, and relax.
Who knew that I came here today and found such a good thing.
As he spoke, he smiled and stepped forward to look at Zhao Mu.
"Brother Xian, listen to what you say, actually, I have an immature idea in my heart."
"Well, what thoughts?"
Zhao Mu raised his head, looked at Li Er, who was looking at the seeder intently, and asked.
"Brother Xian, I'm thinking, since you said that these three machines can be put together, if it is 5, can it also be put together?
Will that be twice as efficient as three machines?
What if 50 machines? If you connect it together, wouldn't it be faster than three machines?
What if 500 units are connected together? ”
Speaking of five hundred machines, Li Er began to fantasize in his heart.
If 500 machines are connected together, hundreds of ploughing cattle in front of them will be carried out simultaneously.
How much land do you have to sow back and forth?
