"Hahaha, okay."

"Jingzhi, you have made a great contribution."

With this thing, Emperor Zhaowu has almost seen this year's bumper harvest.

In the 20 years since the founding of the Yu Dynasty, the most headache for him has been the population problem, and the reason why this problem has given him a headache is naturally the problem of cultivated land.

The population is insufficient, and a lot of land cannot be cultivated, although after 20 years, the population has recovered a lot, but there will still be a large number of wastelands every year, and there is no way to cultivate.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that the population is insufficient, after all, arable land needs manpower.

Now with this curved plow, it can greatly improve the efficiency and reduce the manpower, so doesn't it mean that you can cultivate a lot of land?

These are all real grains, even if there is more arable land to take care of them, but by autumn there will be more or less more harvests.

"Your Majesty, this credit is not for the minister."

"This drawing about the Quyuan plough was made by the little girl Zhaode, and the minister just borrowed the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make it."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu was stunned and stunned; "Zhaode made it again?"

Why do you say again? After all, this Zhaode County Lord has come up with a lot of new things that benefit the country and the people for more than a year.

Huo Jingzhi nodded with a faint smile, and then did not hide it, and directly told Huo Junyao about his plan to exchange this drawing for pig iron.

"The emperor also knows that the little girl has a lot of land, and this quyuan plough needs to use iron, and the family's inventory is insufficient, so it can only be so."

As his words fell, Emperor Zhaowu's originally happy mood sank slightly.

As an emperor, he can understand people's hearts the most, how can he not see the intention of Huo Junyao's move.

I am helpless and regretful, yes, I regret.

He really shouldn't have been ignoring the prince and breaking her heart again and again.

If he had been fair, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Nowadays, it is useless to say more, some relationships, once there is a problem, it will be very difficult to make up for it.

Especially this matter is still related to the prince, although he regrets that he was not just at the beginning, but he knows very well in his heart that even if he goes back in time, he may still be more or less partial to the prince in the case of a high probability.

After all, this is the prince, and there are too many things on the table, many things, even if he knows it's wrong, he has to do it.

"That's right, how much pig iron does she need?"

"Not much, five or six thousand catties is enough."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu nodded and said; "I agreed, and I will let Gao Fu mobilize it later."

"Emperor Xie, the minister has retired."

After Huo Jingzhi retreated, Emperor Zhaowu looked at the empty imperial study and was a little stunned.

"How did this happen?"

got pig iron, and Huo Jingzhi also sent a lot of blacksmiths and carpenters to Huo Junyao.

Huo Junyao was not polite, and arranged it on the same day.

She has 500 households, according to the calculation of one family, it will cost 500, and not only the small Huangzhuang under her own name needs, but also the name of the eldest princess of Ningyang and the Duke of Ji Guo, but there is also a lot of farmland.

You can't just make it yourself, can you? Why can't this good thing be lost to your own family, right?

So you need to get a lot, although not to say that every household has one, but you also have to get enough, right?

In the next period of time, Huo Junyao began to get busy again.

Similarly, the Ministry of Industry is also busy, and the advent of Quyuan plough is a major event for the farmers of the Yu Dynasty.

For this reason, Emperor Zhaowu also deliberately selected the date to publicly verify the Quyuan plough outside the capital.

The peasants who saw this thing, but they were overjoyed, this is not far from the spring ploughing, Emperor Zhaowu directly ordered the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsmen of the Yamen in various places began to make every effort to build the Quyuan plow, and strive to put it into use in this spring ploughing.

The efficiency of the state machine is quite terrible, although it is not said that it will be rolled out in an all-round way, as long as the first batch comes out, even if spring plowing begins, it can be followed one after another.

How can it be used in six or seven percent of the country?

In six or seven percent of the places, the efficiency of arable land will increase a lot, and there will be no less things that can be planted.

In a flash, it was the spring ploughing season, and Huo Junyao's side was ready.

Five hundred families acted together, and her little land was not easily completed.

According to her plan, after spring ploughing, brick kilns, workshops, etc. will be built, and the allocation of manpower has already been arranged.

As soon as the spring ploughing was over, the 500 households were in full swing again.

The enthusiasm is very high, after all, there is a salary every day, and it does not delay the work in the field, why not.

Just when the brick kiln came out and the stall had already begun to be fired, the big pit on the side of the paper workshop had also been prepared, and the next step was to prepare the soaking of bamboo, wood, bark, straw, etc.

She also allocated a brick kiln to burn lime, which is one of the more important steps in papermaking.

When everything is ready, all you need to do is soften the material in the big pit.

In the past few months, Xiaohuangzhuang has been busy almost every day.

The bricks that were fired first were all used in Xiaohuangzhuang, and the houses of five hundred households were all relatively leaky earthen houses, and Huo Junyao directly assigned the bricks to Xiaohuangzhuang first.

Although it is not said that every household has a brick yard, it is not a big problem to get a yard with bricks and adobe.

In addition to these, there are walls around Xiaohuangzhuang and other things, which are also brick and adobe structures.

Almost the entire Xiaohuangzhuang is encircled, and the growth of corn in Xiaohuangzhuang is also very gratifying, and the corn cobs the thickness of a child's arm are half a child's arm, but these farmers who planted corn for the first time are very curious.

At the beginning, they had all tasted this corn and knew that it was a good thing, but after all, they had never seen how it could be grown, and now that they saw it, they realized that Miss County Lord was not bragging, and the yield per mu of this thing was indeed very amazing.

Five hundred households can be regarded as completely trusting Huo Junyao, the young county lord nobleman.

Of course, as the corn grew, Huo Junyao also issued an order that this thing was not allowed to be said to the outside world without her permission, so she didn't scare these people.

And at the beginning, of the two hundred people, Huo Junyao also directly assigned a hundred people to come to Xiaohuangzhuang to be guards.

As much as possible, make sure that it does not leak out for the time being.

Because of this series of actions, even if Xiaohuangzhuang is not far from the capital, there are not many people who know that there are new crops here.

She didn't plan to keep it hidden, after all, she couldn't hide it.

But at least she wasn't going to leak it until she was fully mature, it was something she was going to use to build momentum.
