An old man knelt on the ground and didn't get up, with tears in his eyes: "Back then, the barbarians invaded on a large scale, and I joined the army for three years, and after completing my military service, I was given a few acres of land, and I was ...... Barely making ends meet! ”

A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he continued to speak: "My son was martyred in the battle of the southern border, my wife and children and I are old, and we can't manage the land, the harvest is not as good as a year, and the pension of the imperial court is divided up by those dog officials!" ”

The old man seemed to have suppressed a trace of anger in his chest: "At this time, Jinyiwei appeared, killed those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and arrested them!" ”

"The pension has been reissued!" The old man's face softened a little: "Later, before the harvest, plus the displaced people in the north, the price of grain here has skyrocketed!" ”

"The people starved to death, some were killed by thieves, who cares about our life and death in the Manchu Dynasty?"

The old man's emotions were very excited, "At this time, Yinwangfu came to send warmth, salt, rice, and wine!" ”

"Although the number is not much, it can last a few more days, at least there is a little hope!"

A trace of guilt flashed across Emperor Xia's face, and he said loudly: "Old man, this matter is my fault!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Su Xun's face was shocked: "This is the fault of the ministers!" ”

Suddenly, the whole audience knelt down together, and the old man burst into tears, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are the Ming Jun, hurry up these traitors, and the life of this common people is better than death!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yin is the only one who really does practical things for the people!" Suddenly, a diminutive peasant shouted!

"Yes, Lao Chen is right, only His Royal Highness King Yin cares about the life and death of our people, and now, he has also invented this quyuan plow!"

……

Emperor Xia looked at the true feelings revealed in the eyes of the people, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also suppressed, and King Yin's reputation among the people was already so high, and he didn't expect that Luo Chen would do so much in private.

"Zixuan, thank you folks for your love, rest assured, under the wise leadership of my father, our days will be better and better, everyone together, roll up your sleeves and work hard!"

Emperor Xia glanced at Luo Chen deeply, and laughed: "I didn't expect King Yin to do so many good things, I didn't know at all, don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely reward you well!" ”

Luo Chen smiled faintly: "Father, let's test the Quyuan plow first!" ”

Xia Huang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" ”

Luo Chen patted the Quyuan plow and said with a smile: "Which of you is willing to come up and try this Quyuan plow?" ”

The people immediately looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, let me come!" ”

"I'm coming!"

"Your Highness, my family's cow has great strength, so let me come!"

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Let me, come in person!" ”

As soon as the words were finished, the audience was silent, Your Majesty wants to go down in person?

What are you doing with these mud legs?

"Your Majesty, no! Thou art golden...... How can you ......" Su Xun suddenly persuaded softly.

You know, according to the custom of Great Xia, only when spring ploughing is carried out every year, the Son of Heaven will symbolically go down to help a plow, of course, it is just a ritual!

"Yes! Your Majesty, let's let the little ones try! A clever farmer stepped forward and said.

Xia Huang smiled and shook his head: "It's okay!" ”

As he spoke, he brought a cow from nearby, and Emperor Xia personally tied the ox rope to the plow, and the plow cart was put on the cow's back.

"Your Majesty, can a cow do it?" The old man couldn't help but interject: "Why don't you try it with two cows!" ”

Xia Huang smiled and glanced at Luo Chen: "It's okay!" ”

Su Xun's face suddenly changed slightly, he didn't expect Emperor Xia to trust Luo Chen so much, you know, now in front of the civil and military officials, if you put this plow here for a while, and don't move, wouldn't it damage Long Yan?

Emperor Xia was not flustered, and when they saw that Qu Yuan's plough moved, and he actually slid forward at great speed, his face was stunned.

"It's moving, it's really pulling!"

"It's just a cow! Why is it so fast? ”

"Look, the soil, the dirt has been turned over!"

An old farmer looked stunned, they had been farming for more than ten years, but it was the first time they had seen such an easy plough!

The ox didn't have to rush at all, it pulled the plow and ran forward quickly, without much effort!

"It's really a Zhenguo artifact! With this plow, my Daxia agriculture should be prosperous! Sinong Siqing sighed, his face extremely excited.

"His Royal Highness King Yin has such a miraculous work, which is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for all the people!" Lin Chao, the Ministry of Works, sighed.

Luo Chen chuckled and shook his head: "As long as there is a sense of innovation, everyone can become a master!" ”

"By the way, Lord Lin, how much has the Mo Dao been forged?" Luo Chen looked at Lin Chao and asked.

"There are already nearly a thousand handles, but three thousand handles are probably the limit of our forging, after all, the cost of the Mo knife is really high and terrifying!" Lin Chao sighed lightly, a little pity.

Luo Chen couldn't help but smile: "Three thousand handles, if they are used properly, they may not be able to reach ten!" ”

Lin Chao nodded in agreement, Emperor Xia walked to the ground and began to control the turn of the plow, and an old farmer suddenly exclaimed: "Look, Your Majesty can actually control the turn of the plow!" ”

"This ......"

Other people are also calm, the traditional straight plow, the operation is also more complicated, generally when turning a few big men need to help, it will be lifted and turned around, but this curved plow directly twisted, you can turn.

Luo Chen explained with a smile: "I installed a plow tray that can rotate freely at the head of the yuan, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn and turn, flexible operation, and saves manpower and animal power." ”

"Your Highness is talented, and you can't do it!"

Lin Chao looked at Luo Chen, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes!

From time to time, Emperor Xia came back with the plow, and several men hurriedly ran over and took the plow.

Emperor Xia wiped a handful of sweat and said with a smile: "King Yin, you did a good job!" ”

"Haha, with this plow, at least my people in Daxia will not starve to death in the coming year!" Emperor Xia laughed: "Lin Dynasty! ”

"The minister is here!"

Lin Chao hurriedly stepped forward, and Emperor Xia muttered: "The Ministry of Industry immediately started to make Quyuan plows in large quantities!" Build a million of them and ship them to the north! ”

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that it is better to directly take local materials in the north, so as not to avoid the trouble of transportation, and the cost is also greatly reduced!" ”

"Your Highness has a point!" Lin Chao's eyes flashed, and he agreed.

"Hmm!" Emperor Xia nodded and said, "In that case, the Ministry of Industry will send craftsmen to the north to temporarily build a manufacturing department!" ”

"No!"
