Chapter 71: Oath and Guanyin to Compete for Achievements (36)

In the end, Tu Minghui couldn't beat his father, so he could only agree to let his father farm with him.

But then new problems arise.

If his father is not a regent, who will manage the government?

He was definitely unwilling to let his brothers and princes engage in the discussion of the eight kings, so Tu Minghui could only find hundreds of civil and military officials and ask them to discuss whether to choose a certain prince to supervise the country, or to choose several princes to supervise the country together, or take turns to supervise the country, and the ministers to assist the government.

Anyway, though.

Anyway, the prisoners have to get through this year.

Don't seek merit, but just seek no fault.

In addition, Tu Minghui had a more important matter to be solved, that is, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a batch of agricultural tools that were the best and most labor-saving, and at the same time could use the power of livestock.

In previous years, when he was cultivating the fields, Tu Minghui did not learn from his father, the symbolic meaning was to shovel a shovel of soil and sprinkle some seeds, but really cultivated a full third of the land, so how tired it is to farm, at least how tired it is to plant three points, he still knows it quite well.

Because of this, he can actually imagine how laborious and fatal it will be when he goes back to plant three acres, thirty acres, or even three hundred acres of land.

But he can't afford not to plant it, and he can't plant it for others, because other people can't plant it for him, and he has to plant it for the sake of his own historical reputation and the stability of the country.

You have to plant as many seeds as you can.

As long as you are tired and don't die, you will plant it to death.

In this case, it is undoubtedly important to save time and effort on various farming tools, and it is also important to use cattle and horses as much as possible to reduce human labor.

In Tu Minghui's own understanding, it is definitely ineffective for others to help him farm, or for him, but it should be no problem for him to drive cattle and horses and farm with tools, after all, some ordinary people also use cattle to plow the fields, and he can't even be inferior to the people.

The Emperor gave a death order.

In addition, the agricultural tools made this time were all for the emperor himself, and at the same time, they were closely related to how many fields the emperor could eventually cultivate and how many high-yield crop seeds he obtained that were blessed by the pomegranate lady.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen really took out what they had learned all their lives, racking their brains to think about how to improve the farming tools and make them more labor-saving.

Or replace human power with animal power as much as possible.

In addition, they also issued a solicitation order, hoping that people all over the world can respond positively, whether it is to provide better farming tools, or to provide better farming tools for the design of ideas, they have great achievements, and if they are finally determined to be useful, they can be used by His Majesty.

It can also be knighted or official.

In short, this should be regarded as the official solicitation order that this dynasty, and even all past dynasties, attaches the most importance to farming tools and gives the greatest reward.

And then, of course, the people responded.

Countless good designs flew like snowflakes.

I have to say that in ancient times, there was really no shortage of smart people, but they lacked enough motivation to go to the right place, where they should give full play to their ingenuity.

Most of the ordinary craftsmen rely on the accumulation of perennial experience, or some occasional accidents, to obtain some knowledge of technical improvement, and then they may not be able to pass it on, maybe they will be left behind after a little while.

This kind of scientific and technological progress under slow development.

The progress of joint research with smart people is completely incomparable.

Qu Jie's operation, together with the propaganda cooperation of the new emperor Minghui and the Ministry of Industry, made the development of agricultural tools in the current dynasty fast forward by at least two hundred years.

Many excellent farm tool designs have emerged.

The only pity is that although many tools are very easy to use, they consume a lot of animal power, and it is estimated that only a few specific groups of people can use them, and ordinary people can't afford them at all.

But in any case, it is also progress.

And now that the number of cattle and horses is increasing, more and more people will think that they can afford to use it in the future, or a village will buy it together and use it together, and the effect will be the same.

You can't expect to plough the land with oxen and horses one month and steam and oil engines the next.

Without plug-ins, how can the development of science and technology make such a leap.

Now the situation is quite good.

……

The whole preparation process of Tu Minghui lasted about two months, from the end of the sacrifice to the end of the New Year, although the land was still a little hard, and it was not the time for normal spring ploughing, but in order to be able to cultivate more land.

He still took his father, guarded the crowd, served people, etc., including historians, and so on, to plow the land together.

I have to say that this is also a wonder of the ages.

The emperor and the emperor were two people, using small whips to whip cattle and horses, driving farm tools to plough the land, surrounded by hundreds of large internal forbidden army protection, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs carrying food boxes, tableware and wine ready at all times, in addition to the imperial doctor with various first-aid medicines, as well as the living man who recorded the emperor's words and deeds, and the historian in charge of the official history.

And that's not all, because in addition to these people, there are also many agricultural officials on the side, guiding them on how to use farm tools correctly and plough the fields more easily and accurately.

and answering other questions related to agriculture.

After that, they are needed for breeding and breeding.

Facts have proved that these preparations are useful, compared to Tu Minghui, who is still in his prime of life, the emperor's apprentices are really a little lacking in success, more than failure, and not much can be done, and the light will drag his feet.

The first step is to learn to plow the land very slowly, his son has already ploughed an acre of land, and he is still stumbling to learn, the key is that the agricultural officer who taught him does not dare to say anything, he can only repeat it over and over again, and teach it by hand.

I can't learn it, and it's strange that other agricultural officials can't teach.

When he finally learned and began to get started, there were more problems, such as throwing the whip too hard, the cows and horses were not very obedient, or they were not very good at manipulating the direction, or the strength was not enough to accurately control the direction, which caused the land he ploughed out to be twisted and crooked.

Then he cultivated two or three acres of land, and began to pant and asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse, drink water, eat, wipe his sweat, oops, a lot of troubles.

Compared with him, a bad old man who didn't want to work and wanted fame, his son Tu Minghui was really good, not only did he learn quickly, but he also did a good job, and when there were countless cattle and horses to drive, not only did he not get tired from morning to night, but he also ploughed a hundred acres of land in one day.

It may not be very good, but with his father as the control group, it is undoubtedly quite good.

The most important thing is that although he was very tired and couldn't get up the next day, he still continued to cultivate more land after asking the imperial doctor to massage him for half an hour.

Regardless of whether he scolded his mother in his heart or not.

But at least they're doing pretty well.

It's like a holy lord.
