Chapter 893: Diligence also requires strong tools
The sun rises, and when the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, Zhoujiazhuang wakes up from its silence. The peasants picked up their hoes and went to work in the fields, the women began to do their day's chores, and the children went in groups to the school in the middle of the village to find a pedant.
In the small courtyard, Zhou Ren knocked on Qin Feng's door.
In the squeak, Qin Feng's head with scattered hair was revealed in the crack of the door, his eyes were red, and he looked listless.
Zhou Ren came over and immediately quipped: "Brother, don't toss too long at night, you will have no energy during the day." ”
Qin Feng yawned, and said in his heart that if it was really a toss, the master would be willing to be without energy for a day. Who of you would have thought that there was a peerless beauty beside you, and it was unbearable to be unable to move? I went to the column and stiffened all night, more tired than tossing.
"Wash up, little old man take Mr. to see the fertile fields in the village."
Qin Fengxin said to hurry up and take a look, and then the whole army retreated, and went back to sleep.
After a while, Qin Feng walked out of the room listlessly, and Xin Xianying behind him also didn't have any energy, yawned hahaha, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, the two followed Zhou Renwang outside the village.
Qin Feng helped Zhou Zheng carry a hoe and hum a small song, still returning to the state of farming in his hometown when he was a child.
Emperor Hongwu actually carried a hoe and looked at the skillful style, which was really incredible. Xin Xianying took out a pen and paper to record, as for last night, there were only four words "a good night's sleep".
When Qin Feng came to the outside of the village, thousands of acres of fertile fields appeared in front of him, and he stood quietly at the edge of the field.
The autumn wind blew through the endless fields and blew the yellow grain. Golden ears of grain. Laughing and bending over in the golden autumn wind. The valley waves are rolling, here. There is only one color between heaven and earth, which converges into a golden ocean.
Farmer in the field. The swarthy and red-haired face was full of smiles, which were the sweetness of labor and the joy of harvest. No matter how hard it is, no matter how much sweat is shed, when the full ears of grain come into view, the farmer's heart is only joyful.
Being in it, there will only be one kind of affection in Qin Feng's heart, and that is the joy of a bumper harvest.
And Xin Xianying's big eyes flashed with joy, and the golden and brilliant fields showed a bumper harvest in the first year of Hongwu.
this period. There is no high-yield corn yet, and the autumn harvest in the north is millet, that is, millet, that is, millet. There is also an even more ancient name "Ji", in the distant past, "Ji" raised the tribal people of the Central Plains, and it is estimated that it has a lot to do with the origin of the word "Sheji".
"Mr. Heshan, you have come at the right time, starting today. Our Zhoujiazhuang is about to harvest autumn grain! ”
"Old village chief, old village chief, the sacrifice of the ancestral hall is ready, you can go quickly!"
Harvest Festival. Harvesting, tasting new, and entering the warehouse, the simple farmers will hold corresponding sacrificial ceremonies. The people prayed to the ancestral gods for a smooth harvest of crops. And I wish a bumper harvest and prosperity for people and animals in the coming year.
Qin Feng wielded a sickle and harvested the grain. When the sweat dripped into the soil, he had already forgotten his exhaustion. Side. Whether it is a farmer, or a woman or a child, it is the laughter of the harvest.
"Sir, good style!" The farmers praised Qin Feng's harvesting methods.
Qin Feng wiped his sweat, the soil stained his hair, and said, "I remember when I was a child, I cut wheat with my grandfather, and I cut it to ...... calf without paying attention." ”
"It turns out that Mr. is also from a peasant family!"
"Mr. has traveled all over the rivers and lakes, he will definitely learn something, and he will definitely be a person who can achieve great things in ......the future." The villagers did not hesitate to praise the unpretentious language.
A long, long time later, Xin Xianying has never forgotten what she saw today. She never thought that an emperor would cut grain. Wielding a sickle, curling his legs, covered in soil, and happily like a child, Emperor Hongwu harvested the grain of the harvest. Every swing is a handful. In Xin Xianying's view, what Emperor Hongwu harvested at the moment was not only food, but the hearts of the people and the ...... the world.
The next day, there were already villagers ploughing the fields with oxen ready to sow the seeds of next year's harvest.
In the Han Dynasty, there was already a straight plough with a plough wall, although there were double and single wheels, but basically two oxen carried type. That is, two cows walk side by side, with a pole in the middle. This ploughing method is suitable for use in plain areas, the pole can ensure that the field is ploughed straight, and the two oxen go hand in hand because the pole is not elastic to drag in the middle, and it is easier to control if it does not deviate, so the efficiency is also higher.
However, on the third day, Zhou Ren looked at the endless bare farmland and began to sigh.
Qin Feng didn't understand, "Not to mention tens of thousands of people in the warehouse, this season's grain is enough for Zhoujiazhuang to eat and drink for a year, why are you always worried?" Is there someone exploiting? ”
"No, no, no......." Zhou Ren hurriedly waved his hand, "The officials of the Hongwu Dynasty rule Qingming, the officials will not exploit us, and the scholars will not dare to break the law." ”
"Then what are you worried about?"
"Who would be disgusted with ......." Zhou Ren said: "There are only more than ten cows in the village, and now the fields have reached the limit, and they can no longer be cultivated. ”
Qin Feng suddenly realized that the peasants wanted to be richer, so they needed more land, but due to the lack of productivity, they could not expand out.
Therefore, Qin Feng also began to frown, as the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he really wanted to have more arable land in his heart. "Have more children and plant fewer trees!"
"That's all there is to it! When there are more strong men, they can also have more land. Zhou Ren said.
Qin Feng was thinking, no wonder there was no family planning in the early days of the later generations, and under the premise of no mechanization, there were still many people with great strength.
All day long, Qin Feng just frowned and thought.
After Xin Xianying saw it, Jiaohu was really happy and troubled.
"Quyuan plow!" Qin Feng finally stretched his brows in the afternoon of this day. It turned out that when he was in the later drama academy, he participated in costume dramas, and there was a quyuan plough among the props, although Qin Feng didn't know how to make the specific parts, but he remembered the appearance. There are many experienced farmers here, and you may be rewarded by comparing them. Therefore, Qin Feng immediately found Zhou Ren.
"Quyuan plow!" Zhou Ren was surprised.
Quyuan plough appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was a representative agricultural tool of intensive farming in ancient China. After the popularization of the quyuan plow, the labor productivity and the quality of cultivated land were further improved. The invention of the straight plow. It heralds the arrival of the agricultural era. The invention of the Quyuan plough has set off a new page in traditional agricultural tools. It marks the beginning of a mature period in the development of the plough. Since then, Quyuan ploughed in the course of a thousand years. It has become the mainstream plough type of plough.
Zhou Ren was overjoyed, and immediately found more than a dozen old men with half a century of farming experience, and showed Qin Feng the straight plow.
According to his memory, Qin Feng pointed out one by one in real objects, "Here the straight and long yuan are changed to curved and short yuan." What is it called? ”
"Yuantou!" When a few old men answered, they were shocked in their hearts, and said that you kid doesn't even know the name, what kind of zigzag plough you changed really has an effect?
"It was originally called Yuantou, so in this Yuantou. Installing a freely rotating plow pan is about this ....... Qin Feng gestured and said: "These changes can not only make the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn around and turn, flexible operation, and save manpower and animal power!" ”
"When the straight plough is ploughing, it is not flexible enough to turn around, which wastes a lot of time and labors to lift the soil. So it's not efficient....... ”
A few old men with a combined experience of three or four hundred years of farming experience, "It seems to make sense!" ”
Zhou Ren said: "It's not a lot of effort, find a few carpenters, and quickly modify and refit." You know if you use it! ”
So, the old men hurriedly found someone to start refitting.
In the afternoon of this day, the world's first curved plough was introduced.
The strong men in the village are still ploughing desperately. And the old men came to watch. When he went to the ground, Qin Feng shouted: "One cow is enough!" ”
"Huh. Save a cow! ”
Xin Xianying took out a handkerchief to wipe Qin Feng's sweat, "Master." In the end, it doesn't work. ”
"It will work!" Qin Feng directly picked up the jade hand and wiped it by himself.
Xin Xianying blushed, for the sake of the emperor's contribution to agriculture, she temporarily let Qin Feng hold her hand.
"Driving ......."
Qu Yuan ploughed down the ground, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, only to see that the plough pan was really flexible, and the soil was scattered when it was dripping and turning, and it was able to break up the clods of soil.
The eyes of the old men, who had centuries of experience in plowing, widened and their white beards trembled.
I saw that the soil was much lighter, and in the blink of an eye, I ploughed out more than a hundred steps.
If the center of gravity is low, it will naturally save effort, and you don't see you bending over to move things.
"It worked!" Qin Feng jumped up like a child, and went to hug Xianying again.
For the sake of the plough, ....... Xin Xian thought of it in a puffed up.
When Qin Feng went to hug him again, he suddenly hugged him, looked at Xianying who was hiding to the side, scratched his head in embarrassment, and turned around. I saw more than 100 old men in the village, kneeling on the ground.
Qin Feng was taken aback, "What is this for?" Hurry up, hurry up! Qin Feng went to support Zhou Ren.
Who knew that Zhou Ren broke free and said: "Shennong's family is above, Mr. Heshan, you have done a great thing for the people of the world!" Mr. Heshan is on top, please accept the little old man. ”
"Please bow down to us!" All the old men bowed together.
With this curved plough, more fertile land can be cultivated in a limited time. Fertile land is the lifeblood of the peasants, and those who give the peasants more fertile land are the people's food and clothing. In the hearts of these old men, Qin Feng had already caught up with the ancient Shennong clan Fuxi.
"No, no, no......." Qin Feng shook his hands modestly, and his heart was full of joy. When there is more land, the treasury of the Lord will be more abundant. You don't need to use knives and guns to fight, and eating food will kill the enemy.
However, the old people, who had hundreds of years of plowing experience, were very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's modesty, and in their opinion, those who could make such agricultural tools were already sages.
Zhou Ren said excitedly: "Shennong's made a straight plough, so that we can dig in the land and eat enough. Mr. Heshan made the zigzag plough, which was able to make us farmers rich from then on. Mr. Heshan is a sage and a ...... with great wisdom. ”
"Hurry up!" Qin Feng just said.
Xin Xianying also recorded with a historical pen on the side: In September of the first year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu incarnated in Heshan to make Quyuan plow, which changed the pattern of farming, and in the future, my Great Qin Dynasty will be able to reclaim more land and raise more people. This initiative alone can be compared with that of the sages. "What kind of man is Emperor Hongwu, how can he understand so many things that everyone doesn't understand?" Qin Feng, who has always created a new initiative, has a strong sense of mystery that deeply attracts Xin Xianying, which is also the fundamental reason why she accommodates Qin Feng's many "shortcomings". Qin Feng was like a magnet, deeply attracted her.
However, at this moment, there was a click.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that one of the parts of the Quyuan plow invented by Qin Feng was torn apart, and the Quyuan plow was suddenly paralyzed.
Holy! Qin Feng suddenly had his heart broken, and his heart said something! People have lifted the lord to a height of ten thousand zhang to become a sage, you give the lord this, the lord falls, won't he also fall apart!
The faces of the old men who have been plowing for three or four hundred years changed greatly, "Wow! This curved plough is a donkey dung egg surface light, and it is useless! ”
Xin Xianying immediately changed his pen: Faint Jun, Emperor Hongwu was self-righteous and made a broken plow....... (To be continued......)
