Shen Xiao listened to Sheng Ze's words and said directly to Shen Qingqian: "Sixth sister, can you give me the drawings?" Tomorrow I will go to the ordnance superintendent to ask how many masters are experts in making things. ”

Shen Qingqian didn't want to, so he handed over the drawings immediately, "Even if the eldest brother doesn't say it, I will give it to you, and the eldest brother don't say that I painted it, just say that you figured it out for your family." ”

Shen Xiao didn't answer, first looked at the drawings, and then pointed to the rake uncertainly and asked, "Is this a rake?" ”

Shen Qingqian's eyes lit up, "Big brother has seen it?" ”

"No," Shen Xiao shook his head, "but I've read in books, and it's said that the people in the south will use this to take care of the fields." ”

Shen Qingqian's eyes darkened, and he pointed to the improved mouldboard plough and asked, "What about this?" Does Big Brother know? ”

"I've never seen it before, and I've never heard of it." Shen Xiao shook his head again.

In fact, he was also very surprised in his heart, when did his sixth sister become so concerned about various tools? How can she draw what is needed? What did her grandfather teach her in the first place?

Listening to his words, Shen Qingqian understood, there should be a rake in this world, at least there are already people in the south who use it, and the plow is not sure whether it has it or not, or it may be too different from the appearance of the improved model she painted, so Shen Xiao and they didn't recognize it.

Shen Qingqian had a bottom in his heart, and thought about how to deal with it if someone asked, and then said: "In order not to show the stuffing, I will talk to my eldest brother about these two things tonight." ”

"If the sixth girl doesn't mind, I want to hear it too." Sheng Ze said seemingly unhurriedly, and after speaking, he glanced at Ling Yun beside him.

Ling Yun was excited, and immediately looked at Shen Qingqian with a smile, "Sixth girl, let me hear it too, this thing looks novel." ”

Shen Qingqian didn't have anything to hide, and nodded with a smile, "Actually, it's all very simple things, you will understand as soon as I say it." ”

Next, Shen Qingqian started from the needs of the crowd and began to explain the situation of the improved version of the rake and plough she had drawn.

"For the time being, I call it a three-tooth rake, which is used to plough the ground carefully, and it can also easily remove weeds and leaves in the field. Lighter than a hoe, the tips of the teeth are sharper, and the ground is easy to close. Because most of our people are women, and they don't have much strength, so the tooth spacing I draw is small, as long as the things made are hard enough, it should be very convenient to use, of course, it would be better to use lighter materials......"

After Shen Qingqian finished speaking, he pointed to the plow and said: "I haven't figured out what to call this thing, but this is used to plow the ground, which is different from the ploughing just now, this can turn out about a foot of soil underground...... Here, I made a push-pull rod that adjusts the depth of the plough...... And here......"

Although she drew it on the basis of a mouldboard plough, it was actually quite a whole new thing.

It was the first time Shen Xiao heard Shen Qingqian talk about this, and he was shocked in his heart, but he was inexplicably proud.

Such a wonderful person, it is his sister!

Ling Yun also looked at Shen Qingqian with admiration, and vaguely understood why his master was so special to the six girls in front of him.

Sheng Ze watched Shen Qingqian's gaze become deeper and deeper, and the light at the bottom of his eyes was amazingly bright.

“…… That's all, big brother, the main reason why you go to the Ordnance Supervisor tomorrow is to ask what is best for these two things, as for the money for the materials," Shen Qingqian paused, his delicate brows furrowed slightly, "I don't know if the imperial court is willing to give this silver." ”

"Yes, unless ......" Sheng Ze's words were not finished.
