416. Use your feet instead of your hands to move
When Ji Chang was pondering things, the court officials who went to the countryside were also sparing no effort to invent and create.
Although Gao Lanying is a woman, as a contemporary woman, she naturally went to the countryside as a Korean official.
Even, she also mobilized the female doctors in the medical school to go to the countryside together, farming and ploughing hard, can women not bear the suffering?
The orange tree made by Xinjia has been spread in the village, after all, it is really simple to make, and it has a great effect.
"General Gao also wants to make oranges?"
A peasant woman asked, Gao Lanying is a strong first-class military general in the eyes of the people who eat melons in Chaoge, and she is more powerful than most officials in the DPRK and China.
"It's not. ”
Gao Lanying shook her head, she pinched a wooden pole, and said, "But it has something to do with the orange tree." ”
She placed the wooden pole in her hand on the wooden frame on the ground, which was somewhat peculiar, with a stone hammer attached to the top.
After getting it done, Gao Lanying kept stepping on the end of the wooden pole, and the stone hammer kept hammering on the ground, making a thumping sound.
The peasant woman was stunned: "This... This can also draw water?"
"No, you can't. ”
"But it can be used to make rice. ”
"Chungmi?"
"Is there a stone mortar?"
"Naturally. ”
Last year, the king of rice and wheat were promoted, so after the rice harvest, many farmers had stone mortars in their homes to hull the rice to obtain fragrant white rice.
The peasant woman brought a stone mortar, and Gao Lanying placed it under the stone hammer, and took some unhulled rice, and continued to step on the wooden pole with her foot, just like an orange tree drawing water, the wooden pole pulled the stone hammer up and down, and repeatedly smashed it into the stone mortar, and the rice was so well licked.
"It's... This...."
The peasant woman closed her mouth in surprise, she knew better than anyone what this meant.
Her husband worked in the fields, and she was in charge of hulling the harvested rice, which was no less arduous than ploughing in the fields, smashing the grain with a mallet, and occasionally breaking the skin of her hands.
And the advantages of what Gao Lanying has in his hands are obvious.
Using the feet instead of the hands to move is not only comfortable and labor-saving, but also may have some different kind of pleasure.
The peasant woman swallowed for a long time before she uttered a complete sentence: "With this thing, even a half-grown child, even a little girl, can also eat the grain!"
"This thing is called Tada. ”
Gao Lanying's not-so-good-looking face had a hint of a smile.
The slaves of the men are under sin, and the women are under the sins.
It's an old saying, to the effect that if a sin is committed, the man is sent to the prison to serve his sentence, and the woman is to be a prisoner.
For women, it can even be regarded as a punishment, which is enough to see how bitter it is.
And she made a step on the ground, and really changed the status of women with her own hands, with this kind of convenience, is it still hard? Will it still be regarded as a woman's punishment?
In the past, people did not know that after the forced promotion of rice, farmers have discovered that rice is the most productive crop.
There are two most troublesome aspects of growing rice, one is that it requires a lot of water, and the other is that it needs to be hulled after harvesting.
Ke Xinjia's orange tree and Ji Chang's keel waterwheel solved the problem of water source, and the problem of husking and grain was solved, and there was no obstacle to planting rice.
Farmers must have begun to grow rice in large quantities, and at the same time, half-grown children could do so with a treadmill, which in turn increased the productivity of women who were not good at hard work.
Kill more than one stone!
Gao Lanying felt a lot of emotion in her heart, thanks to Xin Jia's invention of the orange tree and the experience of the female doctors in the medical school.
Of course, the least is that the king of Zhou forced all the officials to go to the countryside to farm, if there was no king of the emperor to dispel public opinion, Gao Lanying felt that even if it was a few decades, she would not be able to make a step.
Looking at the orange tree and waterwheel, which were invented by other officials, it is enough to see the foresight of the king!
The peasant woman was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut: "Good things, good things... This thing is simple and easy to make, it only takes half a day to make, and it just so happens that there is still last year's rice at home that has not had time to husk...."
She couldn't wait to erect a monument to Gao Lanying, Gao Lanying came back to her senses and saw the excitement on the peasant woman's face, just waved her hand and said modestly: "This is nothing, it's just a trivial matter, thank you or thank Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid I wouldn't understand the intention of going deep into the field in my life." ”
The peasant woman nodded like a stone hammer in the front of the mill, and said in a loud voice: "What I am talking about is that Your Majesty is Shengming, Your Majesty is Shengming..."
............
Keel waterwheel, stepping mill, orange tree, these three kinds of farm tools are basically the most widely used farm tools in the countryside, but Ji Chang is not satisfied.
What he wants is not to be as famous as Xinjia and Gao Lanying, but to have a greater reputation.
So he took the tortoise shell, divined one or two, and opened the hexagram.
A few days later, Ji Chang led a cow to the ground.
"Could it be that Xibohou wants to use oxen to plough the land?"
Zhang San and Li Si, look at me, I look at you, because there is Jin Dasheng's cowhouse in the West Garden, and there is no shortage of beef on weekdays, but no one thinks that cattle can go down to the ground to cultivate.
Because cattle farming widely appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is still very early, in addition to meat or milking, it is just that generals like Huang Feihu rode a special heterogeneous ox five-colored sacred cow to fight.
More often, the main use of cattle is to be slaughtered as a sacrifice in Jongmyo Temple.
Zhang San looked at the old man in his hand and doubted his life.
This is the main cultivation tool at present, created by Shennong, the structure is simple, a pointed wooden stick plus a short beam, the pointed end is inserted into the soil when used, and then the wooden stick is deepened with the foot on the beam, and the soil is dug up one by one, and the cultivator needs to dig a piece of the piece, take a step back.
What does this farming method have to do with cattle?
Of course, Ji Chang understands how to use plowing and plowing, but he also understands that this backward and intermittent ploughing method has a lot of effort and poor effect, and it is completely unworthy of the soil power improved by manure, and it can even be said that it has lost a lot.
He chuckled and said, "Zhang San, you can call all the farmers around you, just watch from the sidelines and be a witness." ”
Zhang San didn't quite understand, but after seeing the keel waterwheel, he obeyed the words of these ministers and nobles, and it was awesome to have brains.
A moment later, several peasants gathered around Ji Chang, looking at the old cow in a daze.
Ji Chang coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said with a smile: "Okay, Ben Hou won't sell Guanzi anymore, the reason why I summoned you here today is mainly to promote the use of cattle to farm, and look." ”
As soon as he pointed to the old cow, everyone saw that the old cow still had strange components on his body.
Chonghou Hu on the side hugged his hands and watched quietly, Ji Chang really had goods in his stomach, and in just a few days, he made something new.
It's just that the farmers are still skeptical, can the cattle cooperate with the cultivation of this thing?
