Lin Chuan then said to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei:

"The teacher saw that the spring ploughing was going very well, the crops were growing well, and the people were very satisfied."

"However, what came to my mind was that although Hanzhong had recuperated for nearly three years, there was still land that had been abandoned due to the previous war."

"It's not that the people don't want to reclaim the abandoned land, but they don't have enough energy!"

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were both listening carefully to Lin Chuan's teachings.

"You should still have some impressions of the details of spring ploughing, now think about how many families plough the land with cattle? And how many households have iron farm tools? ”

Facing Lin Chuan's question, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei began to think back in their hearts.

Lin Chuan didn't wait for them to answer himself, and continued:

"Now not only in Hanzhong, but also in all parts of the world, there is basically no war."

"We are not like those nomads, weapons and armor are used to protect the food we grow, in addition to occupying more arable land!"

"So for the people now, better agricultural tools are more important to them than weapons and armor!"

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei finally understood the meaning of Lin Chuan's words, and the two lowered their heads while being a little ashamed.

Seeing that the two students had already understood, Lin Chuan continued earnestly:

"Therefore, the purpose of building this mine for the division is to build more iron farming tools for the people, so that more land in Hanzhong can be cultivated, and the people can also have more ease when farming."

"Do you remember what the teacher once said about the most important thing in social development?"

"Unleash the productive forces!"

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei replied in unison.

"Not bad!"

Lin Chuan knew that Deng Ai and Jiang Wei had completely understood why they had to spend so much effort to mine and smelt iron to build farm tools.

"Thank you for the teacher's teachings, Wei will definitely remember it!"

"Scholars, scholars, and scholars have thanked the teacher for his teachings!"

After Jiang Wei and Deng Ai understood Lin Chuan's intentions, they even understood why Lin Chuan was so popular in Hanzhong County, because everything Lin Chuan did was for the people!

After thanking Lin Chuan, the two went to the mine again and asked the craftsmen to start preparing to make iron farming tools.

The reason why Lin Chuan talked so much with Deng Ai and Jiang Wei was because he knew that the two of them would be reused in the hands of Cao Cao in the future, so the conceptual foundation of the two of them governing people's livelihood must be laid!

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, who returned to the warehouse of the mine, looked at the neatly stacked rows of iron ingots in the warehouse, and what appeared in their eyes was no longer sharp swords and sturdy armor, but a brand new farm tool.

Chen Yuan, who was still improving the blast furnace in the mine, saw Deng Ai in the warehouse, so he came to Deng Ai's side and asked:

"Shizai, what did Lord Hanzhong Hou say?"

Chen Yuan only learned that the quality of the iron ingot was average after receiving a report from his craftsmen, so after finding Deng Ai to explain the situation, he stayed in the mine to study how to continue to improve the blast furnace.

Seeing that Deng Ai and Jiang Wei had only appeared in the warehouse at this time, Chen Yuan knew that Deng Ai had already informed Lord Hanzhong of the situation, so he came over to ask Deng Ai what Lord Hanzhonghou's attitude was.

"Master Chen, Chen, Master Chen don't have to worry, the teacher said that these iron ingots are not for the purpose of making weapons and armor."

Deng Ai replied with a smile when he heard Chen Yuan's inquiry.

"What? These ingots aren't used to craft weapons and armor?! ”

Chen Yuan was also stunned when he heard Deng Ai's words.

"Yes, yes, yes, the teacher said that these iron ingots are to be used to make farm tools."

Deng Ai then said to Chen Yuan.

"I see!"

When Chen Yuan heard Deng Ai talk about farm tools, he already understood the good intentions of Lord Hou of Hanzhong.

"Shizai, I think you might as well tell the people of the mine what Lord Hanzhong Hou meant."

Then Chen Yuan suggested to Deng Ai.

"Okay, much, much, thank you Master Chen for reminding me."

Deng Ai knew that Chen Yuan was reminding himself of his reputation in the hearts of the people in order to regain his prestige.

So Deng Ai told all the people who came to mine when everyone was having dinner together in the evening that the Marquis of Hanzhong was going to use the iron ingots produced by the mine to make farm tools.

When the people heard the news, they cheered and the birds in the forest flew into the air in shock.

"Lord Hanzhong actually used such a precious iron ingot to make farming tools for us!"

"Starting tomorrow, everyone will have to work harder!"

"For iron farming tools!"

"For the sake of Lord Hanzhong who loves the people like a son!"

"As long as you don't die, you will die!"

The people who came to open the mine were immediately full of enthusiasm at the thought of being able to use iron farming tools immediately.

With every extra effort, you can get a brand-new iron farming tool one day earlier, and a small number of people who plan to eat are motivated!

In the study room of the Hou Mansion, Lin Chuan was flipping through the lottery records of the system.

Because he had only focused on extracting the mineral distribution map, he didn't look closely at the other items or drawings he had drawn.

Now Lin Chuan is looking for drawings of tools that can promote agricultural development.

Just as Lin Chuan was constantly flipping through the lottery records of the system, a series of reputation increase prompts suddenly sounded in the system.

"What's the situation?!"

Lin Chuan was a little confused, this iron farm tool had not yet been made and sold to the people, why did the prestige suddenly rise slightly?

"Could it be that Deng Ai told the people of the mine about making iron farming tools?"

After thinking about it, Lin Chuan felt that there was only one possibility.

The next day, when Deng Ai came to the Houfu study to report the output of the mine to Lin Chuan, he confirmed Lin Chuan's guess last night.

"Old, old, teacher, after the students told everyone about your decision, they obviously felt that everyone's enthusiasm for work was higher!"

"That's nature, and their labor will be rewarded for themselves."

Lin Chuan felt that Deng Ai's approach was good, and nothing could be more exciting than this kind of news to stimulate work motivation.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wei, who remained at the mine, was looking at this morning's production report.

"The ore output has increased by 20% compared to yesterday!"

"The efficiency of ore smelting has also increased by 10%!"

After comparing this morning's production data with yesterday morning's production data, Jiang Wei found that in just one morning, the miners, who were inspired to work, increased their output explosively!

In the study, after Deng Ai left, Lin Chuan continued to look at the lottery records of the system.

Finally, Lin Chuan found the drawing he wanted:

Curved ploughs and carts!

With enough iron farming tools, coupled with curved ploughs and cylinder carts, it can greatly make up for the lack of ploughing cattle in Hanzhong.

"The agricultural development of Hanzhong is about to enter the fast lane, and the promotion of basic industry can also be prepared!"

The excited Lin Chuan didn't finally fall asleep until the bright moon hung high.
