Chapter 269: Improvement (Ten Changes)
"It's still not enough fertilizer." Ye Sanniang squinted her eyes slightly and said, "There is too little farm fat. ”
"That's mainly because there are few people." Ye Yanxing was stunned when he heard this, and said casually, "But there can't be too many people." ”
"Why?" Ye Sanniang raised her eyes slightly to look at him and said with interest.
"This person is born to eat, and there are too many people to eat." Ye Yanxing thought about it seriously and said.
"Can't you grow crops that can fertilize the land?" Ye Sanniang's clear and transparent eyes looked at the land road that was forced to rest.
"It doesn't seem to work! This winter, there is only winter wheat, and if it is planted at other times, will it delay the planting of grain. Gao Mancang said lightly waving the horsewhip in his hand.
"I see that so much land is still desolate! Can't you farm? Ye Sanniang said in surprise.
"No one cultivates." Gao Mancang said regretfully, and said sadly, "The north has been in war for many years, the population is withering, and the land can only be barren. Only the fields next to the city were restored to cultivation. ”
"I just think that there is no one, and the emperor will not order that the widow will be allowed to remarry." Ye Luoxing lifted the corner of the curtain of the car and looked out.
"There's a pit ahead! You're caught. Gao Mancang reminded.
Rao is Gao Mancang reminded that when the mule cart passed the pit, Ye Sanniang and their heads were turned upside down and almost hit the roof of the car.
"This road can't be compared to our village." Ye Luoxing couldn't help but complain.
"Tell the truth." Ye Sanniang looked at him funny and said, "This road also has to be repaired, just like there is no one in this land, so it can only be abandoned." ”
I really want to start a tractor, gallop on the wasteland, and plow them in an instant.
"Alas...... Manpower is limited. Ye Sanniang sighed heavily and said, "I still have to make tools." ”
"Tools?" Ye Luoxing looked at her with a puzzled face and said.
"Lightweight, convenient and efficient tools for agricultural production." Ye Sanniang said with a dreamy expression in her eyes.
"What tools." Ye Yanxing said excitedly.
"You need to make it." Ye Sanniang came back to her senses and looked at them and said.
"To say that is to say nothing." Ye Luoxing looked at her with a slumped face and said, "No matter what kind of tool it is, it can't do without people." ”
"To the point." Ye Sanniang put down the curtain in her hand and said, closed the window, and plugged it in.
"Is this tool easy to make?" Ye Yanxing looked at her expectantly and asked.
"Can it be made? Out of thin air? Ye Luoxing looked up at the roof of the car, and finally shook his head and said, "No." ”
"How can you dream out of thin air! It is an improvement on the basis of the original, such as what was it like when this plow head was in the Qin Dynasty? What is it like to get to the Three Kingdoms? It has slowly improved to what it is now. Ye Sanniang's warm eyes looked at them and said.
"If you look at the history books, you will know that the most famous Quyuan plow." Ye Yanxing suddenly remembered and said.
"This plow is either ploughed by oxen or manpower, and it is good to find a way to improve it without people or oxen." Ye Sanniang looked at them with sparkling eyes and said.
"What's that for? With horses, with mules. Ye Luoxing said casually when he heard this.
"What's the difference between that and using oxen?" Ye Sanniang bent her finger and flicked a violent word on his rabbit skin hat.
"What's that for?" Ye Yanxing's innocent eyes were full of curiosity, looking at her and asking.
"Use ......" Ye Sanniang braked suddenly, swallowed the word mechanical, and thought about it seriously, "Use?" Zhuge Liang, the wooden cow and flowing horse back then. ”
"That one is gone." Ye Yanxing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about it. ”
"What my mother said is that the one who can carry more than 400 catties, and the daily itinerary is dozens of miles for special travelers, and 30 miles in groups, transporting food for the 100,000 army of Shu Han. Wooden Ox Flowing Horse! Ye Luoxing remembered when he heard this, "It's effortless." ”
"Let the old slave say, it's a rickshaw or a wheelbarrow, how can there be effortless." Gao Mancang chuckled and shook his head, and then said, "Of course, you have to have a good road, otherwise it will be difficult to push." ”
Ye Sanniang shook her head and smiled when she heard this, "Maybe!" ”
Machinery is delusional to her, salt and iron are all government-run and controlled, where can you get them casually.
What is the quality of iron smelting now? Even if it's good, but what about this yield! Without production, everything is empty talk.
"After walking for so long, why haven't you seen any people?" Ye Luoxing opened the window, looked out the window and muttered.
"We haven't been out for a long time, and we've been walking all morning!" Ye Sanniang looked at them with a smile on the corner of her mouth and said, "Why are you tired of seeing this scenery?" ”
"There's something nice about it, endless withered grass, and the occasional bird. Not even a figure. Ye Luoxing muttered.
"It's not like a rooster crows for thousands of miles." Ye Yanxing lifted the curtain on the other side and said, "I've never come out, I thought it was as prosperous as Fucheng outside!" Suddenly, he said with emotion, "It's so desolate! ”
"When will we see the village?" Ye Sanniang asked Gao Mancang through the curtain.
"It's evening." Gao Mancang thought about it and said seriously.
"Are you hungry or not, if you are not hungry, let's hold on, it's too cold outside, it's not worth lighting a fire to cook." Ye Sanniang's warm gaze turned to the two of them, "It's really not okay to have dry food, Ruyi they spread pancakes." The index finger crossed the eyebrow and said, "It's a little cold, and it's harder." ”
"I can hold on, and I'm well fed in the morning." Ye Yanxing pursed his lips and said, his bumpy chest churning, he didn't dare to eat anymore.
"Close the window! Even though the sun was shining outside, the wind was as cold as a knife, and it hurt to blow. Ye Sanniang pointed at their hands with her index finger.
"It's okay, let's cover it tightly." Ye Luoxing, who only showed his eyes, smiled when he heard this.
"Whatever you want." Ye Sanniang looked at him with warm eyes and said.
Ye Yanxing obediently closed the window and lowered the curtain.
"If only there were clear crystals." Ye Sanniang couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, she wanted to talk about glass more, but unfortunately the cost is expensive now, not to mention, the quality is not up to par.
Ye Yanxing looked at her with bright eyes when she heard this, and then looked at the car window, "How expensive is that!" This prince and nobleman may not be able to use it. ”
"So! I'm just talking. Ye Sanniang's amber eyes like cat's eyes looked at them and said helplessly.
It was bumpy all the way until mid-afternoon, Ye Luoxing opened the car window and looked outside, "Haven't you seen a shadow yet?" ”
"Nope." Gao Mancang looked up and said, "It's almost there." ”
"You know." Ye Yanxing poked her head out curiously and looked at him and asked.
"The dead grass on both sides has been cut." Ye Sanniang pointed to the dry grass roads on both sides of the dirt road.
"Yes!" Ye Yanxing looked at her with surprise in his eyes and said.
