The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 61 The Female Matchmaker Chooses Farming (10)
The Zhuangzi of the Wangfu was originally a mature small village. After the whole was bought by the Wangfu, the villagers became tenant farmers of the Wangfu, but they were not enslaved, which was equivalent to a binding employment relationship.

When Xu Yin and his party arrived, the tenant farmers were all working in the fields, plowing the fields and transplanting rice seedlings.

Uncle Wang, who was in charge of Zhuangzi, was the original village head and was very proficient in farming.

Xu Yin didn't waste any time. As soon as she arrived, she ordered the guards to take Qu Yuanli off the carriage, and explained the operation method to Wang Boyi.

Uncle Wang understood: it turned out to be a plow!It's just that the style is different from what they usually use.Since you want to try it, let's try it.

He beckoned to a young man: "Take the plow and plow a section of the field for the nobleman to see."

People in the nearby fields straightened up and looked over.

Someone joked: "Uncle Wang, why are you calling Liu Sheng to pull the plow? It's strange that he can pull the plow with his small body! How about me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man named Liu Sheng, pushing Qu Yuanli away with ease.It's really like walking in the fields, it seems that there is no effort at all.

Everyone was astonished.

Immediately one by one scrambled to try.

It was hard to believe that Liu Sheng was so thin and thin, but he was able to push the plow. It usually took a lot of effort to pull it.

Looking at the place where the Quyuan plow passed, not only the soil clods are dark in color and the particles are small, it can be seen that the plowing is deep and broken, but also pushed to the sides, like a ship, splitting the wind and waves to move forward.

This is incredible!
For farmers, what interest is better than the improvement of farm tools and the increase of mu yield?

Right now, the most labor-intensive but indispensable farm tool appeared in front of them. Who would not be surprised and cheered?

All the peasants in the vicinity gathered around and tried it, and they all thought the plow worked well.

Not to mention light and labor-saving, the key is that the plowed land is deeper than that of oxen.

Seeing that the effect was good, Xu Yin nodded in satisfaction and said to Uncle Wang:
"I'll leave this one for your use. I'll send another batch over tomorrow. In addition, I need a few acres of land for a test field. It's better to be closer to the main road at Zhuangzikou."

She has to walk a long way.

It would be great if there was rubber. Let’s see if we can make tires. With tires, we can build bicycles.

On the way, she asked the nanny and the maid, but unfortunately neither of them had heard of or seen anything like rubber.

But she remembered that rubber is indeed a tropical crop. Could it be that it hasn't been introduced to this continent yet?

When they returned to the palace, the sky had already darkened.

The dinner in the mansion was sent to the side courtyard after her like a pinch.

When Xu Yin came out of the shower and saw the rich dishes on the table, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: so rich?

Qiu Shuang replied: "The butler asked the girl if she was not satisfied with the food in the house, and she didn't send it to the big kitchen at noon, so she asked the big kitchen to prepare a table in the evening. I hope the girl will be satisfied."

Xu Yin: "..."

Can she say that the big kitchen didn't deliver it at noon because the breakfast was too rich to eat, and she couldn't eat at noon?
What a shame to say something so embarrassing.

"Sit down and eat, everyone has worked hard today."

Mother Feng refused a few times, so she added a table in the corner, shared some of the dishes, and ate with the girl.

In that room, Yan Kejin was also eating, and while listening to Yan Qi's report on the movements of his unmarried concubine today, when he heard Qu Yuanli, his hand holding the chopsticks paused.

"You said she asked a carpenter to make a different plow than before, which is light and labor-saving to pull?"

"Yes, after listening to the report from the dark guard, I personally went to Zhuangzi to verify that it is not only light and labor-saving, but also the depth of the soil, and the width of the soil can be arbitrary. Walking along, but it is far less labor-intensive than pushing a mill, and there is no hindrance to turning around. Uncle Wang said that with this plow, you can plow five or six acres more than before."

What is this concept?
It usually takes five days to plow the land, but now it can be done in one day, the key is not as tiring as before.

Yan Kejin put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands, and sent out a series of instructions:
"Nineteen is still in Linhai County? Fei Ge asked him to summon a group of craftsmen."

"Is Thirteen in the house? Let him be responsible for purchasing the materials needed for the new plow."

"As for the drawings, you go and talk to her... Forget it, I will go in person."

So, after a full meal, Xu Yin, who was holding a sweet and sour tea, was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch to teach Dongxue how to play backgammon leisurely. By the way, she wondered whether she should come out with a whole set of mahjong or playing cards to enrich her nighttime entertainment life. Children's shoes, with a confused face, met the surprised gaze of the male master of the palace.

"Playing chess?"

Yan Kejin walked in casually.

"..."

Xu Yin exchanged glances with Nanny Feng who was behind the prince:

Why is he here?

Nanny Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

The prince took time out of his busy schedule to see the girl, but the girl was too lazy to get up on the couch.

Xu Yin remembered the etiquette here after receiving the cue from Mammy's crazy eyes.

"..."

This damn...

Tucao belongs to Tucao, but I still have to keep my life safe.

She got up quickly, but she didn't have time to salute, and was supported by Yan Kejin.

"Exemption."

Yan Kejin didn't go around in circles, she just sat down and expressed her intentions.

Xu Yin was stunned: "Qu Yuan... oh, just the plow I took to the Zhuangzi this afternoon? Are you interested?"

Listening to you and me in her words, Yan Kejin twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, but didn't bother with her. She rubbed her finger on the teacup presented by her mother, lowered her eyes and said:

"You don't know, the reason why Yanhua regards Nanman as a dispensable and barren land is that one is miasma and heat, and the other is barren. The soil here is not as fertile as the north, and it is not suitable for growing wheat. Not only is there no yield here, even if it is planted, the quality is not good enough.

In contrast, only rice and millet are more productive, but that requires deep cultivation.The plow you took to Zhuangzi in the afternoon is not only light and labor-saving, but also has a much better plowing depth and width than the previous plow. If it can be popularized, it will be the best. "

Xu Yin would not agree to something that could benefit the common people.

What's more, she already had the idea of ​​promoting Qu Yuanli.

It's just that the iron sheets she can buy are limited, and she can't mass-produce Quyuanli to the whole Nanman.

Now that King Jinnan is willing to take the initiative to take over this matter, it is equivalent to reducing the burden on her, and it is too late to be happy, so who would mind!
The drawings are here, thank you for taking them away!
By the way, I will present an improved retting method for later generations.

In addition, she has long wanted to say:
"Actually, the climate here is suitable for growing winter wheat. What kind of spring wheat can be grown? Spring wheat is drought-resistant and not heat-resistant, but here, it is humid and hot, and there are frequent showers. No matter how careful it is, it will not be able to grow the yield in the north. It's all in vain!"

This is the same as "Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges".
