Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

In the end, Tu Minghui couldn't resist his father and could only agree to let his father farm with him.

But then, new problems arise.

If his father is not regent, who will manage the government?

He was definitely not willing to let his brothers and princes handle the eight kings' political affairs, so Tu Minghui could only find civil and military officials and let them discuss whether to select a certain prince to supervise the country, or to select several princes together. Supervise the country, or take turns to supervise the country, and the ministers come to assist the government.

But anyway.

Anyway, those who oversee the country have to get through this year.

Don't ask for merit, just ask for no faults.

In addition, Tu Minghui has another more important thing that needs to be solved urgently, that is, he has ordered the Ministry of Industry to create a batch of the most excellent and labor-saving products that can use the power of livestock, so try to use the power of livestock. farm tools.

When he was cultivating the fields in previous years, Tu Minghui did not learn from his father, who symbolically shoveled a shovelful of soil and sprinkled some seeds, but actually cultivated a full three-thirds of the land. So how tiring is it to farm? At least he knew how tiring it would be to farm three-thirds of the land.

Because of this, he could actually imagine how troublesome and fatal it would be to plant three acres of land, thirty acres of land, or even three hundred acres of land.

But the field must be planted, let alone planted by others. Others will not have the same effect as him. For the sake of his own historical reputation and the stability of his country, he must plant it.

You have to plant as much as you can.

As long as you don't die from exhaustion, you will plant seeds until you die.

In this case, various farming tools that save time and labor are undoubtedly very important. It is also very important to use cattle and horses as much as possible and tools that reduce human labor.

From Tu Minghui's own understanding, it would definitely be ineffective for others to help him farm or farm for him, but he should have no problem driving cattle and horses and farming with tools. After all, some ordinary people also use cattle to farm, so he can't Not even as good as the common people.

The emperor gave a death order.

In addition, the farm tools made this time were all for the emperor himself. They were also closely related to how much cultivated land the emperor could eventually cultivate and how many high-yielding crop seeds he could obtain with the blessing of the Pomegranate Empress.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen really used what they had learned throughout their lives and racked their brains to think about how to improve farming tools and make them more energy-saving.

Or use animal power instead of human power as much as possible.

In addition, they have also issued a solicitation order to the outside world, hoping that everyone in the world will respond positively. Whether it is providing better farming tools or providing better ideas and designs of farming tools, it will be a great contribution. If it is finally determined to be useful, If it can be used by His Majesty.

You can also be granted a title or an official title.

In short, this should be regarded as the official collection order that places the greatest emphasis on farming tools and gives the greatest rewards in this dynasty, and even in all dynasties in the past.

Then of course the people responded one after another.

Countless good designs arrive like snowflakes.

It has to be said that there was really no shortage of smart people in ancient times. It was just that they lacked enough motivation to display their talents in the right places. Smart people all thought about becoming officials, and craftsmen probably didn’t know how to do it. If you don’t know a few, how can you develop?

Ordinary craftsmen mostly rely on years of experience accumulation or occasional accidents to obtain some knowledge of technical improvement, and then they may not be able to pass it on, and they may lose it after just a little bit.

Scientific and technological progress under this slow development.

The progress achieved by gathering together with smart people to work together in a certain direction and jointly researching is completely incomparable.

Qu Jie's operation, coupled with the new emperor's disciple Minghui and the propaganda cooperation of the Ministry of Industry, at least accelerated the development of farming tools by 200 years.

Many excellent farm implement designs have emerged.

The only pity is that although many tools are very easy to use, they consume a lot of animal power. It is estimated that only a few specific groups of people and those with big businesses can use them. Ordinary people simply cannot afford them or use them.

But no matter what, it is still progress.

And now that the number of cattle and horses is increasing, I think more and more people will be able to afford it in the future, or if a village joins forces to buy it and use it together, the effect will be the same.

We cannot expect to use oxen and horses to plow the fields one month, and then use steam engines and oil-fired engines the next month.

Without plug-ins, technological development would not have made such a leap.

The situation is already quite good now.

……

Tu Minghui's entire preparation process lasted about two months, from the end of the heaven sacrifice to the end of the New Year. Although the land was still a bit hard at this time and it was not time for normal spring plowing, in order to be able to cultivate more cultivated land.

He still took his biological father with him to plow the land, guarding the crowd and serving others, including historians and so on.

I have to say that this is also an eternal wonder.

The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor used small whips to whip cattle and horses, and drove farm tools to plow the land. They were surrounded by hundreds of Imperial Guards for protection. Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs were always ready with food boxes, cutlery, and drinks. In addition, there were also people carrying food and drinks. The imperial physician who provided various emergency medicines, the living doctor who recorded the emperor's words and deeds, and the historian who was responsible for official history.

This is not all, because in addition to these people, there are many agricultural officials around to guide them how to use farm tools correctly and plow the fields more easily and accurately.

and answer other agriculture-related doubts.

They will be needed for future breeding and breeding.

Facts have proved that these preparations are useful. Compared with Tu Minghui, who is still in his prime, the Supreme Emperor's disciple really has a little bit of success and failure.

In the first step, he was very slow to learn how to farm. His son had already plowed an acre of land, and he was still struggling to learn. The key was that the agricultural officer who taught him did not dare to say anything, and could only repeat it once. Repeat it over and over and teach it hands-on.

If you can't learn it, blame the agricultural officials for not being able to teach.

After he finally learned it and started to get started, there were more problems, such as the whip was too strong, the cows and horses were not obedient, or he was not very good at steering, or he was not strong enough to control the direction accurately. As a result, the land he plowed was twisted and twisted.

Then he cultivated two or three acres of land, and began to pant and ask the imperial doctor to check his pulse, drink water, eat, wipe sweat, oh, there was a lot of trouble.

Compared with this bad old man who doesn't want to work and wants to be famous, his son Tu Minghui is really good. Not only does he learn quickly, but he also does the work well. I was never tired from morning to night, and I plowed hundreds of acres of land in one day.

He might not be that outstanding originally, but with his dad as the control group, he is undoubtedly quite outstanding.

The most important thing is that although he was very tired and could hardly get up the next day, he still let the imperial doctor massage him for half an hour and continued to plow more land.

It doesn't matter whether he is cursing his mother in his heart or not.

But at least they performed quite well.

He is like a wise king and holy master.
