In the afternoon, the people stood outside the soybean fields, watching the big guys being assembled roaring there.

A platform was set up here, and Zhu Yuanzhang and other important people sat on the platform and waited.

Several people stood on the soybean combine, preparing bags and shovels.

With an order, the harvester began to move forward, and the soybean seedlings in front were all cut off by the roots, and the soybean seedlings entered it with the pods, and were crushed, cut and crushed again, the bean grains were separated, and the other straws fell to the conveying equipment below.

The people in the back began to put on the sacks, some of which were filled with crushed straw, some of which were used to harvest soybeans, and a sack was thrown to the side of a sack, and the sack for collecting straw was obviously several times larger than a normal sack.

Seeing the big guys walking all the way and the soybeans along the way were harvested, the people's eyes widened.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and someone shouted: "I have collected more than three acres, look at the location." ”

Huang Lichang was excited: "Your Majesty, although it is not worth two or three hundred people, it is also very fast. ”

"How many soybeans can one person harvest in a day?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan next to him replied at the same time: "Two acres." ”

Huang Lichang nodded, saying that there is no problem, it is indeed at this speed, the soybean seedlings below are not easy to cut, hard.

"Three acres in two quarters, twelve acres in one hour, one hundred and forty-four acres in twelve hours? Seventy-two people?

The soybeans have been threshed directly, and the pods and soybean seedlings have been chopped, so this has to be considered artificial, right?

Somebody has to put sacks there, can you get rid of those people? More manpower saving. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang calculated, almost a device top 100 people, less than 200, unless a big one is built.

Li Chang said: "Your Majesty, the more comprehensive the function, the higher the precision control requirements, with that resource, it is better to build a few more harvesters."

Now this belongs to the speed suppressed, it can be fast, now test the machine, let the equipment run in first, and wait a while, an hour can collect twenty-five or six acres.

Automatic bag feeding, bundling structural components, more expensive than manual, belongs to wearing parts, is a set, has to hang power, then the main equipment to add the corresponding parts. ”

The chief does not agree to be fully automatic, it has been calculated, and it is very troublesome to maintain it in the later stage, but there are design drawings that can be made at any time.

"Oh~~" Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head, gave up the plan of being fully automatic, and asked instead: "Can you make it bigger?" ”

"Yes, but it is not necessary, and at the same time the requirements for metal are increased, and after the platform in front is larger, the metal has its own weight and strength.

Like bamboo poles, the longer the pole is erected horizontally, the greater the distal end will sag, and the same is true for iron.

We make this thing to be strong, durable, easy to maintain, low cost, easy to produce, and simple to operate. ”

The chief still refuses to make a bigger one, and it is not convenient to transport the large dismantled parts, and the key parts that are integrated cannot be dismantled.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again, it made sense.

Zhu Wentian watched from the side, thinking about how to shrink the equipment, and he also wanted to use it on the interbreeding.

Strip compound planting of soybeans and sorghum, four to six rows of soybeans, and then four to five rows of sorghum, so that it is convenient for small equipment to go in and harvest separately.

As he spoke, the harvester began to pick up speed.

Many people looked at the big guy in the distance, clenched their fists, and seemed to cheer up again.

In their eyes, the big guy is magical, and it's amazing that one 'person' can do so many people's work.

"Build, make a lot, you need steel and copper or something, dig copper mines.

Large livestock were used in small fields and terraces, and in plain areas, steam engines were used to plough the land, sow seeds, and harvest.

Good guys, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, wherever there are plains, there must be. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his binoculars to look, excited and anxious, because it was too late this year, and he could only wait until next year's wheat harvest to start.

This delay was more than eight months, and I had to use this time to work hard to build the equipment.

Then Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other places with few people happen to be used in large quantities.

"Father, there are also plains in Xi'an, Weiping Plains, which belong to the alluvial plains, Guanzhong."

Zhu Fan finally couldn't help it, and he reminded his father that the plains of my fiefdom were large, and I used to grow wheat.

"Then you can find someone to arrange it yourself, as well as the third and fourth."

Zhu Yuanzhang said that it doesn't matter, and your fief does not pay taxes to the imperial court.

"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Fan was happy instead, if you let me, I will find Xiaqiu Village.

"I'll have it there, too." Zhu Li followed, and he looked at the chief.

As a result, Zhu Fan told him: "The basin you have there can be planted, and you will discuss it later." ”

"Yes! I have coal and iron there, and I can build more steam engines. I want craftsmen, and I have to find a way to train craftsmen. ”

Zhu Li found that there was a shortage of good manpower, and craftsmen were treasures, and of course the most precious thing was the technology of Xiaqiu Village.

"Your Majesty, do you want money for this thing?" Huang Lichang felt that his place was needed, and he felt that except for getting some fertilizer and medicine, no one needed to take care of the rest.

How much money do you make in a year when you use it for arable land, for harrowing, for sowing, for harvesting, and when people are freed up to breed and catch fish?

"It's free for two or three years, but you have to pay for the coal yourself, and you still need maintenance and engine oil, this belongs to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his hand and used it for free, mainly because he didn't know how much money to charge.

If you don't collect money as a subsidy, and the people's income increases, they won't always worry about making trouble.

Especially in Guangdong, it is too difficult to govern, and people with sects will rebel as long as they encounter natural disasters or something, and the people cannot eat.

Send the equipment over to help with the work, they are all full, who rebels?

"Yes, it's like borrowing a cow, you have to feed it well, and you can't be tired, otherwise people won't borrow it next time."

Huang Lichang has a strong ability to understand, and takes care of the harvester as a big animal, and does not charge rent, so he naturally has to take care of other aspects.

The harvester over there turned its head and came back, and then a second harvester came on, again slower and then faster.

"Yi Chang, remember to bring three devices? Let's get on the group! Just help at the place of the two lakes, don't see the rice harvest, it's too far. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the efficiency of soybean harvesting, and chose to believe in the technology and strength of Xiaqiu Village, and the rice did not need to be seen.

There is no place to look, Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are all interplanting, and the separate rice should be to the south, to Guangde Mansion, far; To the west, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are next to the Chizhou Mansion of Taiping Mansion, which is still far away.

After harvesting the local soybeans, go down the river and go to Yingtianfu to plant rice to help harvest it.

The people brought by his team went directly to Xiaqiu Village and used manual help to collect them.

"Yes!" The governor responded, and immediately asked the craftsman to assemble the third device, which could also be used this night, with a light to illuminate.

The third one will naturally be sent to the opposite side of the lake, waiting for the Shijiu Lake and Danyang Lake to be collected, and then see if Gucheng Lake is needed.

Then everyone started catching crabs, which was an extra income.

"It's a long time! Credit for this place......"

"It's all the gift of Your Majesty." As soon as the chief saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to throw credit at himself, he hurriedly let him go back.

"That's what we think!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at the chief.

Lieutenant: "......"
