Chapter 156: The Heavy Weapon of the Nation! (3rd Watch)
Luo Chen walked out of the imperial study and walked towards Fengluan Palace.
"Brother Yinhuang!"
Suddenly, a slightly elegant voice came, with a hint of surprise!
"Sister Shisha Emperor!"
Luo Chen turned his head and looked, it turned out to be the eldest princess Luo Shisha, her face was quite shocked, this sister was born to Concubine De, she has a gentle temperament, she has treated him very well since she was a child, and Luo Chen is also very good!
"You're here?" Luo Shisha asked in surprise, and Luo Chen smiled: "I'll go see the queen mother!" ”
"Oh!" Luo Shuisha's face suddenly turned pale, and he smiled: "Then you go quickly!" ”
Luo Chen nodded and walked away!
Luo Shisha looked at Luo Chen's departing back and smiled lightly: "That little kid back then seems to have become a generation of Tianjiao!" ”
……
"Queen Mother!"
Luo Chen strode into the inner hall and saw Su Jingyun kneeling in front of Putuan chanting, so he paused and waited quietly!
After about ten minutes, Su Jingyun slowly got up, looked at Luo Chen, and showed a smile: "You're here!" ”
"Hmm!"
Luo Chen asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”
Luo Chen remembered that the last time he came, Su Jingyun burned incense and prayed here, but he didn't expect to come here this time and recite Buddhist scriptures here!
"It's just boring, it's just a secret pastime!" Su Jingyun said casually.
Luo Chen suddenly felt that his queen mother seemed to be hiding some secrets, which was unpredictable.
"Oh!"
Luo Chen didn't think much about it, and nodded: "Didn't Shui Yi come to that girl?" ”
Su Jingyun smiled gently: "I don't know where I'm messing around again!" ”
Luo Chen nodded, and Su Jingyun spoke in vain: "Chen'er, after a while, the queen mother will go to the Kuwu Temple, you can go with the queen mother!" ”
Hearing Su Jingyun say this, Luo Chen suddenly thought that at this time of year, Su Jingyun would disappear for a few days, but he didn't expect to go to the temple!
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If the second minister is free, he will accompany the queen mother!" ”
"Hmm!"
Su Jingyun's eyes were in a trance, and she didn't know what she was thinking......
……
Leaving the palace, Luo Chen went back to the palace directly and called two carpenters.
"Look, can this plow be made?" Luo Chen handed over the drawings in his hand, and the carpenter looked at it fixedly, frowning slightly: "Your Highness, this plow is a little different from the traditional straight plow!" ”
Luo Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "This plow is called Quyuan Plow, which is smaller and lighter than the Straight Plow, and most importantly, it is more labor-saving than the Straight Plow!" ”
"Is it really that suspenseful?"
The carpenter suddenly asked with a shocked face, you know, this kind of straight plough has been passed down for hundreds of years, not to mention Great Xia, even the most developed agriculture in Daqin, this kind of plow is also used!
"Your Highness, is this your new invention?" A clever carpenter's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Exactly!"
Luo Chen smiled and nodded, not guilty, now, the war in the north has calmed down, and the disaster has been alleviated, but most of the land has been barren, and there is no one in ten ploughing cattle, starving to death, killed, and there are cow bones everywhere!
Under normal circumstances, if you want to resume production in the north, it will take at least more than a year, or even longer, and the people will have no ploughing cattle, so they will spend more energy, and the work efficiency will be greatly reduced!
Ploughing cattle are already extremely scarce, and if there is a farming period, even if all the ploughing cattle of the government are broadcast, it may not be enough, let alone the present after the disaster!
Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao heard that Luo Chen had returned home, and they began to tinker with something new, and they were curious, so they wanted to run over to take a look.
As soon as he walked in the door, he saw Luo Chen gesturing to a few craftsmen.
"This curved plough is made up of eleven parts. That is, ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, plough press, strategy, plough arrow, plough wheel, plough tip, plough evaluation, plough building and plough plate. ”
Luo Chen patiently introduced: "Compared with the previous plough, the Quyuan plow has several major improvements. The first is to change the straight and long wheels to curved and short ......"
Guo Jia listened carefully on the side, and after a while, he interjected and asked, "Your Highness, what is the benefit of changing it like this?" ”
Luo Chen smiled faintly: "This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn around and turn, flexible operation, and saves manpower and animal power." ”
"How efficient is it compared to a traditional straight plow?" Guo Jia's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It can probably improve the work efficiency by two to three times!" ”
"What!"
Everyone's faces changed: "Your Highness, are you sure that this curved plough can increase the efficiency of the peasants by more than two times?" ”
Luo Chen nodded with a smile: "Yes, moreover, this plow is basically made of wood, which is simple to manufacture and very low cost!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he was so excited that his body trembled: "It's really the important weapon of the country, the important weapon of the country!" ”
Zhang Zhao was also stunned: "Increase the ...... by two to three times"
Seeing the sudden big reaction of the two of them, Luo Chen's face was stunned, and he was a little confused: "Isn't it just a plow?" As for such an exaggeration? ”
Seeing Luo Chen's stunned look, Guo Jia wanted to go up and give him a kick, "Lord, if the effect of this plow is really as you said, it will be amazing, and it will even cause the whole country to shake!" ”
"Huh!"
Looking at Luo Chen's stunned face, Zhang Zhao shook his head with a wry smile: "Lord, I have more than four million people in Daxia, in fact, it is far greater than this number, if you count retail investors and black households, there are at least six or seven million, only a lot more!" ”
"However, due to the shortage of cattle and labor, it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for the farmers.
Zhang Zhao sighed lightly: "The traditional straight plough requires at least two oxen to pull at the same time, and if the land turns into frozen soil in winter, it needs three. ”
"yes!" Guo Jia nodded in agreement, as if he was deeply touched: "Moreover, the plough is extremely slow to cultivate the land, so the farmers are poor!" It's good enough to have a good harvest in the past year to feed the whole family! ”
When Luo Chen heard this, his heart was shocked, although his life in his previous life was not spacious, but he never worried about eating and drinking, so he didn't know much about farmers!
I didn't expect that the peasants of this era were so poor!
"Lord, imagine that a zigzag plough will increase the efficiency of cultivated land by three or two times, then the peasants will be able to grow two or three times the amount of land, and similarly, the harvest can be increased by two or three times.
Luo Chen nodded heavily, and sighed lightly: "In this way, it is not an exaggeration to call this Qu Yuan plough the important weapon of the country!" ”
Guo Jia nodded: "Your Highness, if it can really be done, you should inform Your Majesty of this matter first!" ”
