Outside the camp tent, the slogans of soldiers' training flew over Qingzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Ming said to Niu Ben: "What Niu Dudu said is extremely true, the battle of Wei and the southern expeditionary army and the Dengzhou army to conquer the city are like exploring the bag, and now the king of Wei has been captured, Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jinling City are connected, and now you only need to continue to strengthen the armament, and you can find an opportunity to break the situation and hold the northern rivers and mountains in your hands." ”

The war may have been fought for the training and bravery of the armies of both sides at the beginning, but as the war progressed, it was about money, food and equipment.

Now Xiao Ming not only occupies the advantage of the army, but also does not lack money and food, after all, taking Wei Di is equivalent to having one more granary.

"The generals are responsible for fighting the war, and the officials are responsible for assisting His Highness in governing the feudal country, plus the benefits of the firearms of the feudal country, it is easy for His Highness to obtain the northern country."

Fiji is also very confident now, the King of Wei is strong among many vassal kings, and now that Xiao Ming has taken it so easily, he has to look at firearms differently.

Xiao Ming smiled when he heard this, Fiji said that he missed a sentence, he only needed to be responsible for climbing technology.

Now that Wei Di has been taken, he can also devote himself to climbing the science and technology tree with peace of mind, in recent years, Qingzhou has reserved a group of technical talents, laying the foundation for the outbreak of science and technology, now is the time for him to participate, after all, he has mastered the knowledge of science and technology, and the students' ability to understand is not what it used to be, he only needs to mention it a little.

The three of them talked for a while in the tent, and Xiao Ming and Fiji returned to Qingzhou City.

It's farming season soon, and he has something to deliver to the slave estate in Qingzhou, and he is ready to let the government promote it.

When they arrived in the city, Xiao Ming and Fiji did not go to the mansion, but went to the manor where Kui Wu was, where he saw Pang Yukun with an excited face.

Originally, Pang Yukun was going to go to the Qingzhou camp with them, but when Lin Wentao sent something over, he couldn't walk, so he had to take such a machine to the field for field testing.

"Your Highness, this animal power twelve-row seed drill is amazing, in just one morning, three people have sown seeds on twenty acres of land."

Seeing Xiao Ming and Fiji coming, Pang Yukun trotted over from the field.

Xiao Ming glanced not far away, at this time three slaves were sowing seeds in the field, one of them was leading three cows, and the two slaves behind were holding a long strip-shaped thing, which was the animal power twelve-line seed drill sent by Lin Wentao.

The first seeding machine in modern Europe was made in Greece in 1636, in 1830, the Russians added a seeding device to the animal-powered multi-ploughshare plough to make a plough seeder, and Britain, the United States and other countries began to mass-produce animal-powered grain seed drills after 1860.

The structure of this seeder is not very complicated, but even then it requires a certain industrial base to be able to mass production, and now Lin Wenyao can produce it not only because Qingzhou can produce the spare parts in it, but also because of the drawings provided by Xiao Ming.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have the idea of producing a seed drill on their own.

In fact, the principle of the seed planter is very simple, that is, the seed wheel is driven by the walking wheel to rotate, and the seeds are discharged into the seed pipe from the seed box above, and fall into the open trench through the furrower, and then the seeds are covered and compacted by the soil covering and pressing device.

To put it simply, in fact, it is a long plough-shaped tool below, which is loaded with a round-shaped seed, box, and at the same time there is a structure similar to a connecting rod on the walking wheel, and the lower mouth of the seed box will be opened every time it rotates, so that the seeds will fall into the ditch that has been ploughed, and at the back of the seed seeder is an arc-shaped iron plate, after the seeds have been sprinkled, this structure will flatten the soil.

"What! Three people planted twenty acres of land in one morning! "Fiji's jaw almost dropped.

"It's true, I don't believe you have to count it yourself." Pang Yukun pointed to the ridges of the field, and now in order to distinguish the size of each acre, a branch will be inserted at the head of each acre.

Fiji counted it, and it was really twenty acres.

Now Fiji was really shocked, he said: "Your Highness, if this planter is promoted, the people will be able to plant and more land, now there are fewer people in Youzhou and more land, and Ryukyu is also waiting to be developed, this thing is simply too timely." ”

Anyway, Fiji ran towards the slaves who were planting seeds, regardless of the image.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly, people living in Qingzhou are now used to new things appearing every once in a while.

But it's still a bit shocking to outsiders.

Seeing Fiji walking in the fields with a long robe, the two followed.

When they arrived at the grain seed planter, the three of them stopped, and at this time, a foul smell suddenly came to the surface, and Xiao Ming suddenly realized something, "This Lin Wentao, he also added the manure trough to it." ”

"That's true, Xia Guan was also a little surprised when he first came, this grain seed drill can plough the land, sow seeds, and fertilize together, and according to the people sent by Lin Wentao, everything on this seed drill can be disassembled." Pang Yukun said.

Fiji walked around the grain seeder, and after looking at it, he had a good idea in his mind, and he said, "Isn't this just a cocoon?" ”

"That's right, it's a cocoon, but it's an improved cocoon." Xiao Ming laughed.

Fiji nodded. "In the past, the people used wooden cocoons, which were very slow to sow seeds, but this thing was made of steel much faster, and this thing was like twelve columbs trapped together, so it was no wonder that 20 acres of land could be sown in one morning."

"That's natural, how can the cocoon car be compared with this kind of large-scale seed drill, Your Highness, let Lin Wentao mass produce it now, and let each production team buy one when the time comes." Pang Yukun looked excited.

Xiao Ming shook his head, "Well, not only should the production team be equipped, but also used in the slave manor and the merchant's big farm, so that the money sold to the merchant can be used to subsidize the production team." ”

Fiji and Pang Yukun smiled at each other, this is a wonderful idea, so that the people can use the seed drill cheaply.

Xiao Ming was also in a good mood today, he said: "In a few days, you will be happy, this grain seed drill is just the beginning, this king will work with Lin Wentao to make the animal harvester before harvesting." ”

"Harvester." The two of them were surprised again.

Xiao Ming nodded, in modern 1799, the first horse-drawn disc cutter harvester appeared in Britain, and the same as the seed drill, these machines are not difficult to manufacture at present, only the structure of the machinery is needed, after all, his lathe, steam engine, and steelmaking technology have reached this level.
