Chapter 6 Sharp Weapons

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Bahe City, Yuwen Wen is standing at the head of the city and looking north, the fertile fields outside the city can be described as refreshing, this is the spoils after defeating the Haoqiang Lu clan, Yuwen Wen did not belong to himself but distributed it to the meritorious soldiers.

Owning his own land is the goal that the people have dreamed of since ancient times, Yuwenwen is not rich enough not to put these fields in his eyes, but he knows which is more important, he went to Bazhou to take up the post of assassin Shi has official land, and there are official servants on it to help cultivate, Xiyang County is now his food, so as long as Bazhou is in him, he will not worry about no food to eat.

If you want to keep the foundation, you have to have soldiers, and if you want to be a soldier, you have to have a reward if you are willing to work hard for yourself, and the field is the biggest reward in this era.

"Zhou Langjun, there is Lao Guijun to guard Bahe City, otherwise this official will really be overstretched." Yuwen Wen said to the people around him, that person was Zhou Faming who led the troops to 'help the fist' to take Bahe City.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve defeated the Lu clan soldiers and took Bahe City, Zhou Faming and his subordinates have been stationed in the city to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters, and with them in Yuwen Wen, they can free up their hands to transfer troops to clean up the mess, and the presence of the other party can make Chen Jun on the other side of the Yangtze River 'calm down'.

"Yuwen is polite, if you need to serve in the future, you will definitely help you." Zhou Faming said with a smile, now that he has been the lord of Bahe City for more than half a month, he can be regarded as an unlocked monkey who is happy and happy.

There is no second brother to control, no mother to nag, every day I sleep until I wake up naturally and then practice archery or go to the Hulin Army barracks on the other side of Bashui to compete. This kind of day is really comfortable for Zhou Faming, just like a teenager without parental control can toss to his heart's content.

The Lu clan and their tenant farmers were imprisoned separately. He can be said to be life and death in the city. Of course, in order to set an example, he will not do such absurd and cruel things, but it feels really good to hold the power of life and death.

While the two were talking, Yuwen Fifteen walked up and said that the next was ready, Yuwen Wen led Zhou Faming down the stairs and came to the outside of the city, a paddy field was already surrounded by a large group of people, they were the soldiers of the Hulin Army, many of whom had already divided the fields outside Bahe City, and were waiting to do a big job, but today's theme was a live demonstration, and Yang Ji demonstrated the "sharp weapon".

"Lord Yang is here!" Someone shouted, the crowd parted to make way for both sides, and then an ox cart slowly drove up, and Sima Yang Ji of Bazhou followed the car, although Yang Ji was already a state official, but for many soldiers of the Hulin Army, it was still customary to call him 'Lord Yang Bao'.

The ox cart came to the edge of the field. People looked at the carriage one after another, and today Yuwen Tongjun said that he would show a few sharp weapons to open everyone's eyes, so everyone wanted to find out at this time, but the carriage was covered with cloth and could not see what was placed inside. The mystery was soon revealed: it was a plough ploughing the field, a plough that had never been seen before, and its wheels were crooked.

"This plough is called a curved plow." Yang Ji said he asked several soldiers to carry the plough off the cart and hold it on the ground, and then explained the structure to the people watching around.

"The structure of this plough is as follows, this is the ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom is different from the straight plough used in weekdays, this plough is first curved, and then there are more plough reviews and plough construction"

Yang Ji said the truth, and the onlookers were also fascinated, most of them were from poor families, and they did all kinds of farm work, especially farming, which was very familiar, but Yang Ji explained the structure and understood it. However, they used a straight plough to plow the fields, and they had never seen anyone use a curved plow, and the curved plough in front of them seemed to be more complicated than the commonly used plow.

Of course, Yu Wenwen had seen Qu Yuan plow, but that was more than a thousand years later. Historically, Quyuan plough appeared in the Tang Dynasty a hundred years later, so now it is the only one, although he has never been in the field to plough the field, but he has seen a lot on TV, and he is also quite impressed by this weapon to promote agricultural development, and this familiar and unfamiliar 'high-tech' tool is made by Yang Ji.

Yang Ji had a field in the late Ming Dynasty, so he was no stranger to farm work, this Quyuan plough was built by him himself, Yuwenwen knew the structure, but it was a little difficult for him to explain and demonstrate, so Yang Ji was still in charge.

Just talking about not practicing the fake style, the soldiers could understand Yang Ji's introduction to the structure of the qu yuan plow, but they couldn't figure out why it became a sharp weapon when it was curled, so in order to be more convincing, Yang Ji personally went to the field to demonstrate.

Skillfully put the Quyuan plough behind the ox to demonstrate the beginning, Yang Ji ploughed the field, so the operation was smooth, and after walking around, the onlookers had a clue but were still ignorant, and the guards on the side saw their eyebrows.

The ploughshare can be adjusted, so when plowing the land, it can be deep or shallow ploughing, that is, it can keep the depth of the cultivated land the same, so that it is convenient for intensive cultivation, although he did not personally support the plow, but he can see that when plowing, the plough pulls the plough to advance, it seems that it is not so wasteful, and the plough is also very flexible, and it is indeed a sharp weapon.

Laihu's parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his aunt, and he often went to the field to do farm work in the clan, so he only read the field for farming, so he didn't see the difference like other soldiers, but he couldn't summarize it.

Yang Ji knew that people had to try it in person to understand the subtlety, so he asked the soldiers to take turns to try farming, everyone was from the cultivation of the field, naturally they were enthusiastic to sign up, and the people who went to the field to try the plough soon felt the benefits of the Quyuan plow, and the onlookers gradually saw the way.

"Envoy, this is really a sharp weapon." Zhou Faming said sincerely on the side, he doesn't have to do farm work, but a smart person can see the beauty of this curved plow: it is easy to plow the field better and in a shorter time.

Each acre of land can save some time and effort, so a day can plow more fields, the more fields, the more effective the plough appears, not to say that for home use, it is popularized, but also a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

"This plough Bazhou began to promote spring ploughing this year, and the official has built a few pairs to send to Huangzhou, Anzhou, and Xiangzhou, if Zhou Langjun does not dislike it, he will bring a pair back to Brother Ling, so that Brother Ling will also promote the use in Hengzhou."

"Thank you!" Zhou Faming sincerely saluted, no matter whether it is the enemy or me, whether it is north or south, the promotion of this Quyuan plough is a thing that is beneficial to the people of the world.

Seeing that everyone has a personal experience of the wonders of Quyuan plow. Yu Wenwen clapped his hands and motioned to enter the next link. Of course, the demonstrator is still Yang Ji, because he is really talking about farm work on paper, so don't show timidity.

Yang Ji asked the soldier to take a basket from the car. Inside are green weeds, he put the basket on the ground and began to explain: "Everyone has planted paddy fields, now I am talking about transplanting seedlings, first of all, we must raise seedlings in the seedling field and wait until the seedlings are ready, and then pull the seedlings and then plant them in the paddy field, this is transplanting."

Rice transplanting is an agronomy of farming in later generations, but it has not yet appeared in this era, and at this time, farming is a live broadcast method, that is, directly sowing rice into the paddy field, so the soldiers listened to Yang Ji's explanation as if listening to a book from heaven.

Since their grandfather's grandfather, farming has been sown directly into the field, and now some people suddenly say that the effect is not good, so that they can 'plant rice' to increase income, which is really incredible. It's like the feeling of the collapse of the world when my mother suddenly pointed to Uncle Wang next door and said, "He is your father".

After Yang Ji spoke again, there was silence all around, no one took the conversation, everyone was staring at each other, everyone had never read the book, but it didn't mean that they were stupid, many people felt that something was wrong just by listening to the explanation:

According to the original method of farming, I just need to sow seeds, but if I don't talk about planting seedlings, whether the harvest will increase, just bending over, I'm afraid I can't plant a few acres of land in a day, right, is the owner of Yang Mansion want to entertain me?

You have to raise seedlings first, and then pull them up and then take them to the field to insert them, and you have to bend over and don't know if your waist will break after a day of insertion. It's hard to toss like this, and the waist is broken, and the field is not planted!

Zhou Faming looked at Yu Wenwen in disbelief, he had never planted a field but it did not hinder the divergence of thinking: What is the difference between what Yang Sima said about planting rice or something and taking off his pants and farting. He just wanted to hear what Yu Wenwen said.

Yu Wenwen didn't say anything, but directly brushed the 'signboard': "Don't have doubts, you have to believe that the government believes in Yang Sima and believes in this official, and this law is decided to be promoted in Guantian." We hope that you can use it with confidence when farming! ”

It is not possible to know when the rice transplanting method appeared, but it was popularized in the late Tang Dynasty, and the rice transplanting method was more convenient than the direct seeding method, which was more convenient for weeding, fertilization, lodging, lodging, tillering, and increased yield. And double crops can be harvested by multiple crops.

Yuwenwen's signboard is integrity, and the soldiers of the Hulin Army are convinced of this, although they still feel that the rice transplanting method that Yang Ji said is a little inexplicable, but they all nodded in unison, and the promotion of the rice planting method in the fields of the soldiers of the Hulin Army is a foregone conclusion.

"Everyone's concerns Yang Sima has already taken into account, so the next demonstration is a sharp weapon to avoid the tiredness of planting seedlings - the seedling horse!"

Yang Ji had an object made of wood that looked like a crooked boat for a single person, and after the boat was carried down the field, Yang Ji took the basket of weeds that replaced the seedlings and straddled it.

He used his feet as oars to let the boat glide in the field, and demonstrated rice planting while sliding, and the soldiers could see that with this small boat, Yang Ji's waist did not have to bend so much when planting rice.

Yu Wenwen's timely cameo explanation then sounded the narrator: "The morning rooster crow has not ended, Sima Yangji has already started a day's work, he decided to plant seedlings, and carried the seedlings to the field on his horse"

"The rice transplanting method promoted by Xiyang City is a gift from God, and the special rice horse for rice transplanting is a sharp tool in agricultural tools"

"The seedlings that have been cultivated for a month have been fully budded, and the paddy fields that have been ploughed with curved plows and carefully prepared fertilizers have made the carefully cared for paddy fields with the techniques that span thousands of years, so that the seedlings stand straight in the field and appear more vigorous."

"Picking up a seedling from the basket that had been cultivated in Wolf's seedling field, carefully inserting it into the field, sliding his feet and sliding his feet, he rode forward on the seedling horse and took out the seedling and planted it again.

Yu Wenwen's strange commentary combined with Yang Ji's skillful movements made the soldiers stunned, and the previous questions disappeared without a trace, and everyone looked at the neat rows of 'seedlings' in the field as if they saw the yellow and clear ears of rice during the autumn harvest.

It seemed that he was filling the barn with joy, and in the twilight smoke rose from every house, and pushed the door into the house, where bowls of fragrant rice were placed on the desk, and parents, Hun families, and children were sitting around.

Yang Ji just finished the demonstration, there are soldiers who can't wait to experience it, Yang Ji looked at the face full of anticipation and smiled with satisfaction, before he saw that he proposed to build a Quyuan plow, he also proposed the rice planting method and the seedling horse, hoping to promote it on a small scale this year, but I didn't expect the other party's support to be very strong.

"Envoy, I also want my brother to transfer people from the state to learn, I don't know if it's convenient?" Zhou Faming asked eagerly, he already understood the beauty of the rice planting method, now is the first thing of the year, it can be promoted in Hengzhou, unless natural disasters and man-made disasters are not enough, then this year's harvest will definitely increase greatly.

"Welcome, welcome, but the implementation of the rice planting method must be cautious, after all, there are not more than 10,000 people who master this law, and improper operation will affect the harvest of the year, the official decided to carry out it in the official field first, one is to train skilled people, the second is to demonstrate, and the third is to prevent improper operation leading to a large area of failure."

Zhou Faming nodded when he heard this, Yu Wenwen's cautious attitude, he agreed, Quyuan plough is undoubtedly must be promoted, and the rice transplanting method must be transitioned first, he decided to go back and persuade his brother to try the rice transplanting method in the official field, and when the autumn harvest comes, the people will naturally follow suit, and there will not be much resistance to promotion in the coming year.

Seeing the soldiers in full swing to experience the Quyuan plough and rice seedlings, Yu Wenwen was very excited, and the two things he wanted to implement in the spring of this year were to eliminate snails and prevent schistosomiasis, and the other was to promote new agricultural tools and new agronomy.

The popularization and promotion of rice transplanting method and Quyuan plough have been used since the Tang Dynasty to later generations, and the seedling horse is widely used in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the wheel of history is unstoppable, who when who dies, if not to die, then the 'little butterfly' Yuwen Wen to make up the knife, so it is iron-hearted to promote.

The relevant work has been carried out, batches of Quyuan ploughs are being built, and the production of seedling horses is also in progress, Bazhou and Jiangbei states land development and population are not as good as the Central Plains and Jiangnan Sanwu region, so to increase production can only carry out 'technological transformation'.

There is no chemical fertilizer, no high-yield rice seeds, what Yuwenwen can do is to build water conservancy, improve agricultural tools, increase agronomic production, and with more food, he can raise more soldiers, with more soldiers, he can go out to grab food, grab land, grab women, and with more land and food, then more people will gather.

The soldiers are under his command, and they can be divided into fields and slaves according to merit, so they will not hesitate to play with their lives, this is a virtuous circle, but if they don't do it well, it will become a vicious circle, so they must take precautions.

Unlike the hidden dangers of the diffusion of artillery technology, Yu Wenwen didn't mind that the promotion of the Quyuan plow, the rice transplanting method, and the seedling horse would spread to all places, and maybe the grain harvest of all forces would increase greatly, but he didn't care.

Looking around at the paddy fields, he thought to himself: There are so many fields in the world, if each acre of land can be harvested by three or five buckets, then there will be fewer people starving to death, right?

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
