One person, one cow, one cocoon, one day...... Can you sow thirty or fifty acres of wheat?

Yang Chuan said casually, Sang Hongyang and the other officials couldn't sit still, and they all looked sideways, and their eyes were naturally full of doubts.

The farmers of the Han Empire, one person can plant one or two acres of land a day, which is already considered to be the best of the best.

Thirty or fifty acres a day!

It's just, it's outrageous, isn't it?

"Less Shangzao, what you said can you really sow thirty or fifty acres a day?" Sang Hongyang couldn't help but ask.

"Almost," Yang Chuan drank a bowl of noodle soup slowly, and said casually: "Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang is unreliable during the day, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil, but he really has a little talent in breeding and the invention of farm tools."

Yesterday, he brought me a roll of patterns with many ridges for me to make, I have seen it, it should be very good;

Even if it is not as good as he said, one man and one ox can sow thirty or fifty acres of wheat, in my opinion, twenty or thirty acres should be fine. ”

Sang Hongyang and the others nodded slightly, smiling one by one, and seemed to believe it.

Moreover, the expression on his face seemed to have changed from shock at the beginning to 'sure enough', which was very soft and smooth, without a trace.

Yang Chuan watched coldly, and he couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.

Let's see, in the end, it is a court official, well-informed, just this method of covering up the true heart, it is very natural.

"Less to make, this kind of cocoon...... Can it be convenient to take a look, so that we can see it for a long time? After a period of silence, Sang Hongyang arched his hand and smiled:

"Last time, the rare things such as the Yuanshuo waterwheel, the Yuanshuo water mill, the Yuanshuo water mill and the Han plough that the Marquis of Pingyang presented to His Majesty were really amazing and shocking, which opened our eyes and feasted our eyes.

Now, the cocoon car has been invented...... Alas, look at us old men, who have lived to dogs for decades. ”

The officials of the big peasant orders shook their heads and sighed very cooperatively, smiling bitterly, and looked very depressed.

"There are patterns, but," Yang Chuan paused, and said with some hesitation: "But Pingyang Hou only took out a pattern, whether it works or not, I haven't tried it yet."

In addition, Pingyang Hou also said that recently, in order to cultivate nearly 200,000 acres of fertile land, several of us have been overwhelmed for a long time, and almost all the surplus grain at home has become seeds, so;

So Pingyang Hou said that he wanted to use this drawing in exchange for some grain, livestock, or something......"

Yang Chuan said it in one breath, and the person also looked a little decadent, and there was a sadness on his handsome little face: "It's only strange that a few of us are young and careless, and when the emperor rewarded him, he couldn't wait to add tens of thousands of acres of fertile land."

Grog!

This person still has to have a big appetite and eat as many meals, otherwise, it will be easy to break his stomach and make people regret it. ”

Under Yang Chuan's 'earnest and kind temptation', Sang Hongyang and other old foxes nodded their heads again and again, and they couldn't stop soothing 'Shao Shangzao', which looked very intimate.

Then, the officials looked at each other a few times, and it seemed that they had exchanged some information without a trace.

"Less to build, or, let everyone see the pattern of this cocoon first, and see it quickly," Sang Hongyang coughed lightly, twisted his beard and smiled: "If it is really as Pingyang Hou said, one person, one cow and one cocoon can sow thirty or fifty acres of wheat in one day, then it will be ......

Well, that's pretty valuable. ”

Yang Chuan quietly took out the roll of sheepskin, seemed to be a little reluctant to hand it to Sang Hongyang, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Da Nong Lingcheng, please take a look." ”

Sang Hongyang took the pattern of the columb, and then carefully observed it with the rest of the officials.

Gradually, the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Everyone's face showed a look of shock, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at each other and blinked, obviously, entering the crazy 'eye contact' mode.

Okay, that's right.

Yang Chuan was silent on his face, but he had already begun to calculate in his heart, this time, how much benefit he could give to the field camp pit, grain, ploughing cattle, war horses, cowhides, and cow tendons......

Thinking about it, the most important thing at the moment is still production materials, grain seeds, forage seeds and livestock, which must be given priority.

Time passed very slowly, very slowly, and with a burst of irrepressible heavy gasps gradually calmed down, the 'crazy eye encounter' of Sang Hongyang and the others was basically over, and it was almost dark.

The cattle and sheep returned to the pen, and the servants dragged their tired bodies, carrying Han plows, soft covers, etc., back to the Zhuangzi, and their bodies were covered with mud; In the smoke of the cooking, a group of sparrows fled in a hurry, limping to the depths of the Qinling Mountains;

Not far behind them, several silly eagles are lined up in a 'one' character for a while, a 'human' character for a while, and a 'Tai' character for a while......

"Less made, this cocoon car pattern, has it ever been circulated?"

Finally, Sang Hongyang couldn't help but speak, naturally his expression was indifferent, his voice was warm as usual, and he said with a smile: "If there are many people who have seen it, it will be like the Yuanshuo waterwheel, Yuanshuo watermill and Han plow, and it will almost not be exchanged for much grain;

Moreover, once the Marquis of Pingyang dedicates this picture to His Majesty, His Majesty will be happy and will reward you with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, so will he lift a stone to hit himself in the foot and find himself a big trouble, right? ”

Yang Chuan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Who said it wasn't." ”

"The reason why I haven't taken it out for a long time is because I am afraid that the emperor will reward tens of thousands of acres of land again, even if the Marquis of Pingyang and my Yang Chuan's family background is rich, it will be a little stretched."

Yang Chuan took a few sips of noodle soup and continued: "You are in the Great Agricultural Order, so you naturally know that the easiest thing in the world seems to be farming, but the most difficult thing is actually this farming matter.

Not to mention anything else, a single ploughing cattle, seeds, and labor, nearly 200,000 mu of land requires an astonishing number, not to mention finding ways to water and fertilize.

Therefore, Pingyang Hou hesitated again and again, and after discussing with me a few times with the pattern of the car, he decided and decided to find a way to exchange for some tangible benefits, and get through the current difficulties first......"

As he spoke, Yang Chuan took back the roll of sheepskin, and stuffed it into his sleeve in front of Sang Hongyang and other officials.

"Come, come, everyone, don't talk, eat, eat." Yang Chuan pinched a pair of chopsticks and gestured to invite.

Sang Hongyang and the others did not move their chopsticks, and there was a burst of 'eye contact' without missing a trace......

"Let's do it less," Sang Hongyang coughed lightly, "This cocoon pattern, a few of our big farmer colleagues will help you report it, and see if the big farmer Ling Zheng can think of a way to subsidize some cattle and money and grain for them at that time;

As for the amount of money and grain, it will take the success of the test before the specific amount can be determined......"

Yang Chuan shook his head lightly and said, "Since you are embarrassed, then forget it." ”

He took a chopstick of bitter herbs, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said indifferently: "A few days ago, a wealthy businessman once came to my village for three days, and he was very interested in farming;

The rich man had promised that if he could help him with a few gadgets that had been handed down in history, he would be willing to send him five hundred oxen, three thousand mules and horses, and two hundred carts of grain, money, silk, and other things;

By the way, the rich man also said that in order to express his gratitude, he was willing to sell my livestock for three or five thousand at a low price, so that he could make friends with a few of us......"

……

So, an hour later.

Sang Hongyang and the others left the Yang fiefdom and rushed back to Chang'an City overnight.

Standing at the gate of Zhuangzi, looking at the backs of those bullshit officials who were quick and happy, Yang Chuan grinned, and said to Cao Xiang, Huo Quai, and Liu Man, who were probing their brains behind him:

"Okay, happy tonight, do you want to have a supper?"

"Yes, yes!"

Huo Quzhi laughed, rubbed his hands and ran out, and there was an inexplicable hint of a bad smile in Danfeng's narrow eyes, which made Yang Chuan can't help but want to kick twice.

What a good young hero, Cao Xiang was ruined!

Cao Xiang was also happy, and said with a smile: "Sang Hongyang, the turtle son, Lao Tzu Ri, his ancestors' planks, can finally make these turtle grandsons bleed once, hahaha." ”

Yang Chuan turned around and walked towards the Zhuangzi, while scolding with a smile: "You two don't learn well, how can you learn Aunt Zhuo's Sichuan and Shu accents?" ”

"The Sichuan and Shu accents are good," Cao Xiang followed up very doggy, and said with a smile: "Yang Chuan, Ben Hou really convinced you this time, and a broken pattern was exchanged for eight hundred ploughing cattle, three thousand mules and horses, three thousand servants, and two or three hundred carts of money, grain, and materials from the Great Agricultural Order......

Yang Chuan stopped and said, "Do you think the car pattern is so worthless?" ”

"Think about it, a multi-ridge cocoon cart, one person and one ox, in one day, can sow thirty or fifty acres of crops, if it can be carried out, how much human and animal power can be saved?"

"This time, if you weren't in a hurry to raise logistics supplies for our No. A field battalion, a cocoon car would be enough to earn millions of gold!"

Cao Xiang and Huo Quzhi nodded.

Yang Chuan is right, if it wasn't for the last time he was cheated by the emperor, this new farm tool that would inevitably be named 'Han Columbia' by Liu Che would not be another piece of merit?

"Yang Chuan, you're right," Cao Xiang sighed, "Let's solve the current difficulties first." ”

Huo Quzhi finally enlightened himself this time, and grinned: "Haha, Yang Chuan, Cao Xiang, you two dogs are so good at brains, you can even think of exchanging the pattern of the columbladder for money and livestock?"

Oh, you two cowards, how did you come up with this bad idea of not paying for your life? Go back and teach me, I'll go to the pit guards and let them ......"

Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang shut up directly.

When encountering Huo Quai, this iron Hanhan, can choke people to death with one sentence, how can we talk about it?

"Let's go, eat meat!"

"Not only do you have to make lamb skewers, but you also have to drink chicken soup and eat roast duck!"

Huo Quzhi didn't notice the embarrassment of the atmosphere at all, and strode towards Cao Xiang's house, still shouting: "yes, I'm almost tired, Cao Xiang, I'll go to your house to fetch a few jars of good wine first."

By the way, Uncle Tangyi's father and uncle went over with a certain family.

Let's go to Cao Xiang's house to catch a few old hens, stew a pot of chicken soup to replenish our body, and call a few more people to come over and catch dozens of ducks for us, and let your little Langjun make roast duck for us......"

Eating roast duck in spring is in season, and if the reader has an electric oven at home, he can bake it himself.
