Early the next morning.

Lu Mu took a dozen people and rode about twenty horses to the southeast of the royal court early.

The water system over there is developed, and there is a lot of flat land, which is a farmland area under Zhang Qiding.

Quyuan plough they naturally carried, a dozen people, two.

The horses that are ridden out are used to pull the plow.

Horses plough the fields better than oxen plough the fields, and when the strength is about the same, the horses are more obedient to commands.

However, horses do not have as long a life span as cattle, and horses are often abandoned after a few years.

These are not a big deal for the grassland, now the population is small in the early days, there are not many horses that need to be cultivated, Zhang Qi can afford it, and the number of horses is small, can't he still go to the grassland to rob it.

Ran to the southeast for a while, Lu Mu didn't choose carefully, in Zhang Qi's words, now the land is vast and sparsely populated, and he can urinate as much as he wants.

The ground was not completely loosened and was hard.

Lu Mu stepped on the ground, and the force of the shock made his feet tingle.

"Let's start here, two horses and a plow, and try to break the ground first."

Lu Mu instructed the dozen or so herdsmen behind him, these people were all Zhang Qi's followers, so Lu Mu didn't even need to guard them with him.

A few herdsmen nodded respectfully, spat into their palms, and brandished crane-beak hoes made of fine steel to dig into the soil.

It's only been a month since the winter, and the daily temperature hasn't risen much for the northeastern plains.

In February, the highest temperature in the place where Zhang Qi is currently located is only 10 degrees Celsius, and at night, the temperature can reach below zero.

The weather is cold, the ground is hard, and in this case it is a nightmare.

However, since Lu Mu took the initiative to ask for battle, no matter how difficult it is, he has to complete it, I heard that there are still most of the Xianbei soldiers in the royal court, and it is really not possible, so he will get them.

The herdsmen dug the soil, Lu Mu carefully observed, and after a small hole appeared in the ground, he asked one person to set up a zigzag plow, and one person controlled two horses to exert force at the same time.

Click-click.

The plough of the curved plough was buried in the ground and pulled forward.

The ground cracked, the grass roots, the stones, were turned out, and a ravine appeared on the ground.

Seeing that it could be done, Lu Mu hurriedly arranged the next group, and the two curved plows began to operate, although the speed of turning the ground was slow, but it was slowly moving forward.

After plowing for more than ten meters, I heard a click, and the connection between the wooden plough frame and the ploughshare suddenly broke open.

Lu Mu was shocked, but he didn't panic, he came here today to test the Quyuan plow, and now he found that it can be used, but the frozen soil is too hard, and the wooden plow frame can't bear so much pulling force.

Letting people pack up the broken plow, Lu Mu turned over and got on his horse, leaving a group of people to continue using the intact one, and he returned to the royal court with the broken plow.

In the royal court.

Zhang Qi is at the racecourse with Ma San at the moment.

The few Imperial horses that had been handed over to him last time were really pregnant as he expected.

And according to Ma San's speculation, these horses have been pregnant for more than half a month.

When he was discussing things last night, he forgot to say it, and when he knew that he woke up in the morning and personally served Zhang Qi's horse as usual, he suddenly remembered it, and hurriedly reported it.

Knowing that the horse is pregnant, Zhang Qi is naturally extremely excited, although most of the horse's genes are inherited from the paternal line, but the mother's is not inherited, as long as the pregnant mare can give birth to a stallion, he can rely on the flow rate to complete the pregnancy of several generations or even dozens of generations.

Change the physical attributes of a hybrid horse.

caressing those imperial military horses in the horse farm, they are very spiritual after being supplemented, and they have a natural affinity for Zhang Qi, so when Zhang Qi strokes them, they are extremely well-behaved.

"It's all a little bit of a fight, if I can give that kid a sample in advance, it depends on whether the genes in your body can compete with that stallion."

Holding the carrots of the riding and cutting world, Zhang Qi fed these imperial military horses, and after a period of intimacy, he found a place and returned to the riding and cutting world with these six imperial military horses.

Let the cubs be carefully served, and as long as he waits in the outside world for about ten days, these imperial military horses will give birth to cubs.

And when these cubs reach the age of three, that is, thirty or forty days in the outside world, these young horses can mature and enter the breeding stage.

To put it mildly, Zhang Qi only needs a year to breed a super horse.

Combined with high endurance, high explosiveness, and high manipulation, as long as Zhang Qi needs it, the entire Eurasian continent will become his back garden.

After sending off the horse, Zhang Qi returned to the outside world, and now there are a lot of things to deal with, and it is not good for him to disappear for too long.

The Department of Justice has been formed, and now it is the initial stage of retraction, and Zhang Qi has not set a harsh law, which is nothing more than no rape and plunder, no fighting, no petty theft and other regulations that can improve stability.

The royal court has entered a state of military control, and there is no such thing as human rights, in short, everything has to obey Zhang Qi, and if you don't listen, you will lower your social status and become a complete tool.

There are pros and cons to military management, the advantage is that it is highly unified, and the strength can be used in one place, and the bad point is that if Zhang Qi is brutal, then this place will be incarnated into purgatory on earth.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi is still ambitious, promiscuous or something, and it is not good to be promiscuous when there are millions or even tens of millions of people under his rule.

There are more people, and it takes more money to play.

When the time comes, everything Di Lieba, Guli Nazha, Marzaha or something will come again.

Let people know what it is called, blow the wind proudly, and the king will not be early in the dynasty.

Returning to the yurt to review a few inquiries sent by Hui Ren, and was about to discuss the specific matters of the 'Advent Day' with Naqi, Lu Mu hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Lang Jun."

Lu Mu entered the yurt room and saluted Zhang Qi, and then took the water bag carefully handed by the female soldier and took a sip of it with some panting.

"Lang Jun, the plow you gave me is very useful, but now the frozen soil is too hard, and the wooden plow frame can't support it for a long time, so I thought, can you give me a batch of plows made of pure iron?"

Lu Mu said what he meant, and asked him to hand the broken plow frame to Zhang Qi to see.

Zhang Qi saw the wood, put down the charcoal in his hand, and picked up a piece.

Indeed, as Lu Mu said, the connection between the ploughshare and the plough frame is the most seriously damaged.

If you want to cultivate enough fields before the Tohoku Plain can be planted, it may be difficult to use this ordinary curved plough.

Zhang Qi frowned and thought for a moment.

Not to mention the pure iron, just by reinforcing the joints with steel and then wrapping them with iron, the amount of iron used in this set of curved ploughs will skyrocket.

And if it is reinforced with steel, it must be completed in the world of riding and chopping, and the price of a curved plow will not be lighter than that of a person.

Seeing Zhang Qi thinking, the people in the yurt closed their mouths.

After a long time, Zhang Qi slowly spoke: "I know, I'll figure out a way, and I'll hand you over ten bodies tomorrow." ”

In the end, Zhang Qi still chose to use a plow, dinar, and no matter how much he spends, it is not as important as the development of the outside world.
