-----------------------

Looking at the Quyuan plough that had been wiped clean by the eighth uncle, Zhang Chao planned to make a big news in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The eighth uncle couldn't put down this new plow, like a baby, and kept muttering something like that. It is indeed very remarkable, this new plough is equivalent to saving one ox, which is equivalent to five more strong laborers.

In the agriculture-oriented Datang, especially in the early years of the Datang, this is amazing.

The war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although it was only about ten years, coupled with the previous conquest of Liao, natural disasters and military disasters, caused the world to lose too much population. In particular, the loss of strong men is greater, and the loss of livestock is also greater.

Datang was able to continue to equalize the field, but it was also due to too much population loss. The Guanzhong region was less pronounced and suffered less losses from the war, while in the Kanto region, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shandong and other places, the population was more than halved in many places. In the past, the densely populated Central Plains was full of bones, with few people and a large area of land still barren.

The imperial court had to resettle the displaced people everywhere and grant them land. However, many of the displaced people lack farming tools, even less cattle, and fewer strong men in their families.

They relied on oxen rented by the government, and even on treadling ploughs borrowed from the government, and women and old people went down to the fields together.

Now that there is this new type of curved plough, if the imperial court goes all out to popularize it, how much productivity can be increased, how much more cultivated land can be restored every year, and how much grain harvest can be increased.

It's as simple as putting an atomic bomb.

However, Zhang Chao is still thinking about it, this plow has been made, and he has tried it, and it is really easy to use.

But if you want to make money but it is not possible, the new plough is too simple, the eighth uncle only took half a day to make a one, if Zhang Chao opened a shop to sell the plow, I believe that the first plough was sold, and there would be a copycat immediately. With the craftsmanship of those carpenters, there is no problem with the cottage.

And Zhang Chao believes that as long as this plough comes out, the imperial court will definitely pay attention to it, and it will definitely be directly promoted at that time, and it is even more impossible to do exclusive trading.

Since you can't make money, you have to earn a name.

Zhang Chao changed his mind, no longer thinking about opening a shop to make money, and directly invited some craftsmen to make it for his tenants and nearby villagers.

He will take the plough and earn fame.

Changan.

Shangdang County Governor Sun Mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked around the plow for a long time, "This plow is really as powerful as you say?" ”

"It's true, it's been tried, you don't need two oxen to lift the bar, you can easily plow the land with only one ox, and you can plow it shallowly or deeply. The efficiency is no slower than that of two oxen plowing the land. After plowing the field with this plow, it is equipped with a knife rake to break the soil, and the bamboo rake is flattened, so it can be intensively cultivated and greatly increased the yield. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Zhang Chao with a smile, "Why did you think of sending this plow to me, why didn't you send it to Ningmin County?" ”

"Although this thing is small, it is beneficial to the world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an artifact of the country. I made this thing, I didn't dare to keep it privately, and the first thing I thought of was to present it to the imperial court. ”

"Then why did you send me here?" Eldest Sun Wuji still asked with a smile.

Zhang Chaoxin said, of course I hope to exchange some benefits for such an artifact, if it is given to the county, what if they are greedy for my merit. It's better to go directly to Tianting, but now that Qin Qiong and the others have sent troops to fight, Zhang Chao has no other relationship that can directly reach Tianting.

Finally, I thought of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the shareholder of his own soap shop.

"If this thing really has the effect you say, then you have indeed done a great job, what do you want?" The eldest grandson Wuji is a first-class smart person, now he is a little fox, and he will be an old coward in the future.

He could see at a glance the purpose of Zhang Chaolai.

It's a pleasure to talk to someone who understands, and you don't have to hide it.

Anyway, the eldest grandson Wuji can be regarded as his own person, and Zhang Chao will not hide it.

"I'm still a white cloth cloth now, and now I'm offering this thing to the imperial court, hoping to get a medal."

"Is it just a legion?"

Zhang Chao smiled and nodded, he knew his current identity, and it was useless for the lion to open his mouth, so it was better to wait for the above to react.

"It just so happens that the King of Qin is still in the capital, I will take this plow to see the King of Qin now, after the trial, it will really have the effect you said, and then the King of Qin will definitely present this thing to His Majesty and the court, and there will be no shortage of your reward at that time, okay, you go home and wait."

The eldest grandson Wuji did not stay with Zhang Chao, and Zhang Chao did not stay long.

After Zhang Chao left, the eldest grandson Wuji did not go to the Qin Palace.

"Prepare the car and go to Weihe Zhuangzi." He won't completely believe Zhang Chao just by his words, he will only go to see Li Shimin after he has tried it himself.

Otherwise, if the plow didn't work so well, he wouldn't have made a joke.

The eldest grandson Wuji personally went to his own village outside the city, and then asked a few old village leaders with rich agricultural experience to try it himself, and the results were very surprising to him.

He originally thought that this plow would be easier to use at best, but it must be an exaggeration to say that one plow can hold two plows and one less ox. But the old farmer who had tried the new plough told him with a look of excitement that the plough was really very useful.

It can definitely save a cow, or even better.

"Are you sure?"

"We have been tending to the land for half our lives, and we are all too familiar with the plow, which is much smaller and lighter than the original one, but much easier to use."

The other head of the village also said with excited lips, "Even if there is no ox in this plow, it can be ploughed directly on the back of a person." ”

"Yes, even a young woman can carry this plow."

In the past, the straight plough was very heavy, and the position of the rope was higher, which required more force, but the efficiency conversion was not high. Today's new plough has a much lower position at the front end of the curved wheel, so that the pull rope is very close to the plowshare, which greatly enhances the transformation of the pull force. Now this plow, with less force, can be carried back, which is very consistent with the laws of mechanics.

This is where using only one ox is more efficient than two oxen in the past, and in this case, even if there are no oxen, with this plow, even with human backs, the land can already be ploughed.

The eldest grandson Wuji will not believe Zhang Chao's words, but he believes in the words of the head of his Zhuangzi, these are the Zhuang households of the eldest grandson's family, they will not deceive themselves, and he himself did personally watch the operation of the new plough just now, which is really very useful.

"Is this a new plough made by the Ministry of Industry or Sinong Temple?"

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he directly asked the family to return to Beijing with the plow.

As soon as he returned to the capital, the eldest grandson Wuji went directly to the Qin Palace.

Li Shimin has not yet left Beijing, and it is the vanguard troops who have already gone to the army, and Li Shimin will leave later. He was sorting things out in the house, and when he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji was coming, he didn't care.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji directly carried the plow that was still stained with dirt and entered Li Shimin's study.

Li Shimin, who was putting away a map, couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Your Highness, Xiangrui, Zhenguo Artifact!"

Li Shimin was stunned, what auspicious rui is still an artifact to revitalize the country, it is the plow in front of him.

Well, there's something strange about this plow, how it's bent.

Although Li Shimin is said to be a prince, even the emperor will learn agricultural knowledge, and every year during spring ploughing, he will have a ceremony to personally find a piece of land to help him plow and plow a few rows of land.

Li Shimin had never seen such a plow.

"Your Highness, this is a new type of curved plow, which is nearly half lighter than the straight plough used now, but it is much better than the straight plow, only one ox is needed to pull the plow, but it is better than the straight plough that pulls the plough for two years, and even if there is no ox, a woman can pull this plow deeply."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was even more shocked.

There is such a good plow in the world, it is simply against the sky. Don't say anything auspicious, it can really be called a artifact of rejuvenating the country.

"Have you tried this plow?"

"I personally took it to Zhuangzi and tried it, and the head of the Zhuangzi praised it so much, and I have seen it myself, it is indeed very useful."

"Where did this come from, and which master made it?"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, "Your Highness may not believe it, this thing was sent to my house by Zhang San today, and it was invented by him." ”

"Ba Shang Zhang San, I haven't heard that there is such a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry or Sinong Temple, and the general will be the supervisor!"

"Well, Your Highness, this Ba Shang Zhang San is the one who made soap before, and last time His Highness went to his house with me and others to eat Tang monk meat."

"Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Sanlang of Tang monk meat. He actually invented this plow? ”

"Yes."

"It's unimaginable."

"Zhang San said that he would dedicate this plough to the imperial court, hoping to get a medal, and he is still white."

Li Shimin laughed, "Such an artifact, how can it be changed for a title." No matter how generous the imperial court is, it is not too much. If this plough is extended to the world, then our Datang will be able to reclaim more land and increase more grain. ”

Putting down the territory in his hand, Li Shimin directly pulled the eldest grandson Ji and said, "Go, go to be a prisoner." ”

The general eunuch is a department specially responsible for the construction of the imperial court, and Li Shimin directly sent the plow there, and asked the general eunuch to take his subordinates to study and demonstrate the plow.

Then he went to the palace.

Li Yuan, who was discussing major matters with Prime Minister Pei Lin and other ministers in the palace, was also shocked after hearing Li Shimin's report.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng, Shangshu Zuo Servant, Sikong, Wei Guogong Pei Lin and others were also shocked.

"Artifact!"

"Xiangrui!"

......

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor!"

"Hahaha." Li Yuan smiled very happily, "Erlang, who offered this plow, there is a lot of reward." ”

"Back to the father, this plough is made by Zhang Chao, a small person on the mountain, which was originally a novice who practiced with a monk in the mountains, this year his master Sanzang Master passed away, so he followed his last words down the mountain to return to the vulgar, and then met the government soldier Zhang Tiegun, was accepted as an heir, by the way, he is still the son of Shubao."

"Uncle Bao's righteous son?" Li Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he liked Qin Shubao very much.

"What is his father Zhang Tiegun's current position?" Li Yuan asked.

"It is the Bailu Mansion team in Ningmin County, under the banner army, and now it has been ordered to go to Hebei."

Li Yuan thought for a while, "Since this is the case, then Zhang Tiegun will be crowned as the founding man from Wupin Ningmin County, and Zhang Chao will be awarded the rank of Seventh Rank Xunyun Cavalry Captain." Give 100 taels of gold and 100 acres of land. ”
