The quyuan plough was placed in front of everyone, whether it was a mule or a horse, and it would be known if it was pulled out for a walk. Zhang Zheng no longer hesitated, and with a wave of his hand, he distributed these plows to the hands of the strong laborers.

Although it can't be done by one person, it is more than enough for three people. The people who carry the plough carry the plow, and the one who leads the cattle leads the big cattle.

On the endless plain, hundreds of people walked towards the fields by the Wei River. Zhang Zheng and An Guoshi walked side by side in the middle of the team, looking at this picture of everyone full of energy.

There is also a feeling of hope in my heart. Farming is a gene that has been hidden in the bones of Chinese people since ancient times.

When I see the land, I want to plant something. This people, even the bloody night carries the earthy smell, which is the most intoxicating taste in the world.

Zhuangzi is not far from the Wei River, and in less than a stick of incense, everyone came to the middle of a good field.

Zhang Zheng stretched out his hand, Liu Er nodded, and took the people in the house to measure out two acres of land at the fastest speed.

Seeing that the amount of land was good, Liu Er sent out two sturdy men. The two men each carried a plow, and the two plows were different.

One of them was holding a straight plough used by the farmers of the Tang Dynasty. And what the other man was holding was the Quyuan plough made by Zhang Zhengxin.

In terms of volume alone, the volume of the new curved plough is more than one-third smaller than that of the traditional straight plow. The two men carried the plow and saluted Zhang Zheng.

Seeing Zhang Zheng bowing his head slightly, the two men took the big ploughing ox and began to drive the plow. The straight plough needed to drive two large animals, and the man put the straight plough on two saddle drives, and then fixed the saddle drive of one end to the shoulders of the two ploughing oxen.

On the other hand, only one large animal is needed for the curved plow, and the saddle used is also different from that of the straight plow. Rather, it is two triangle-like things, each tied with a rope.

One of them was bolted to two protruding wooden cocoons protruding from the front end of the curved wheel, and the other was on the shoulder of the ploughing ox.

An Guoshi looked at this scene with some curiosity, and couldn't help but cast his puzzled eyes on Zhang Zheng, and asked curiously: "Uncle Zhang County, what is this?" Zhang Zheng explained with a smile: "Since it is a test, there must be a comparison, otherwise how can we know how much more efficient this new plow is." Ansinon, don't be impatient, what the result is, we will know later. Hearing this, An Guoshi nodded a little as if he didn't understand.

He stopped talking, but continued to watch the operation of the two farmers. After the two men drove the plow, three men came out of the crowd again.

Two of them went and took the rope of the two ploughing oxen driving the straight plough, and the other took the rope of the ox driving the plough on the curved plough.

Seeing this, Zhang Zheng smiled and said to An Guoshi: "Originally, the labor of morning glory could be saved, but today's time is tight, so I have to do it for the time being." An Guoshi was a little curious and wondered: "Oh, how to save?" ”

"It's as simple as putting a nose ring on the nose of the ploughing ox and putting two ropes on it. The two ropes are in the hands of the ploughman, and if the direction is crooked, the ploughman can adjust them at any time through the two ropes. Zhang Zheng explained simply, and An Guoshi couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "It seems feasible, is it too cruel for livestock to just perforate the nose cavity of the ploughing cow?" "An Guoshi is a generation of Confucianism after all, and after listening to Zhang Zheng's methods.

Although I knew in my heart that this would definitely be useful, I couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion in my heart.

"All things are born to feed people, and controlling the ploughing cattle can increase the scale of grain cultivation and increase grain production. Maybe the method is a little cruel, but it's much better than letting my Tang people freeze and starve to death. Zhang Zheng said with some noncommittality, compared to sympathizing with the cattle.

Zhang Zheng feels that it is more important to let the people of Datang eat their stomachs first. An Guoshi wanted to refute when he heard this, but looking at Zhang Zheng's young face, he still couldn't hold back what he wanted to say.

Zhang Zheng's age is the age when he pursues ideals and romanticism is popular. Anguoshi knows that there are some things that make no sense to argue.

In that case, let him be. An Guoshi cleaned up his mood and once again turned his gaze to the zigzag plough in the land.

Now the ploughing has begun, and there is still nearly a month before spring ploughing. But the moisture of the land can already be seen.

Thanks to last year's heavy snowfall, the heavy snowfall of the previous year was a disaster for the people. But for the land, it is a long drought and a rainy day.

The snow melts away and the water penetrates into the land, providing good conditions for cultivation in the coming year. It also provides a good environment for the growth of seeds in the coming year.

The moment the two plows were lowered into the ground, everyone noticed the difference. Especially An Guoshi, the excitement on his face is indescribable.

Because the depth of the curved plough into the soil is almost twice that of the straight plow. Twice as much, what a concept that is.

It means that this large piece of land that has been cultivated by our ancestors for thousands of years will usher in profound changes.

Moreover, all of this land is cooked land, so there is no need to worry about the unnutritious raw soil being turned out. With this depth into the earth, the Quyuan plough has left the straight plough far behind.

From today onwards, straight ploughs will be a thing of the past. What's more, the straight plow is still pulled by two large animals, while the curved plow has only one on this side.

Now the two plows have just entered the ground, and the speed is not yet visible, but the new plough can have this result, and An Guoshi is very satisfied.

Time passed quietly, and everyone's eyes followed the two plows in the land back and forth.

The two plows touched the hearts of more than 300 onlookers. As more and more dirt was turned up, the gap between the two plows became visible.

Using the man on the other side of the straight plough, he turned over a third of the acre of land. The man here who used the Quyuan plow has already turned over half an acre of land.

Straight plough and curved plough, the efficiency is higher or lower, in fact, it is already obvious. To say that the efficiency of the new curved plough is twice as fast as that of the straight plough, that is to lift the traditional straight plow.

But Zhang Zheng still did not order to stop, but asked them to finish plowing an acre of land under their feet. Finally, the last mud ditch was left on the measured land.

On the side of the direct plough, a third of the land has not yet been turned.

"This, this is a fetish, a fetish, hahahaha......" When the final result came out, An Guoshi could no longer hold back the joy in his heart, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

Squatting down and touching a zigzag plough affectionately, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be dripping water.

"This Quyuan plough deserves to be the first auspicious plough of the year!"
