Chapter 186 Bet The uniformity of seeds during sowing affects the harvest of crops. If this problem is not solved, even if you make a twelve-legged columbine, it will be a useless decoration and will be of no use.
"Is the seeding even? Have you tried it?" Ji Song must ask this clearly, otherwise it will affect his next steps and lead to overturning.
Hearing Ji Song's question, Lao Gao said with obvious pride: "Whether it can be used, whether it is easy to use, you will only know after trying it. Mr. Hou, do you think this is true?"
Seeing Lao Gao's pretentious attitude, Ji Song really had some confidence in this thing. He nodded and said: "I heard that you have a grandson who is smart and smart. If you can do it. No, as long as Generally speaking, there is no problem. Not only do you have a lot of rewards, but also your grandson, I have the decision to let him come to Ji's Academy to study."
Lao Gao was so excited that he pulled Ji Song's sleeve and said, "Do you really mean what you said? Are you lying to me?"
She calmly shook off his hand and said, "Don't be happy too early, if it were you."
"If I lie, or if I can't do it, how about taking my head?"
Before Ji Song finished speaking, Old Man Gao swore.
She took a deep look at him and shouted to Yao Chang in the distance: "Old Yao!"
After hearing this, Yao Chang did not dare to neglect, and trotted over. He saw that Old Man Gao was a little excited. Although he was surprised, he still asked Ji Song: "Master Marquis, are you looking for me?"
"Um"
Ji Song nodded and said to Old Man Gao: "It's still too late for you to regret now."
"No need, I still have some confidence in myself, don't worry about it!"
Ji Song didn't say anything more, but said to Yao Chang, "Go find a few people and take them to try this thing."
As he spoke, he pointed to the columbine driveway at his feet.
"This is this?" Yao Chang asked confused when he saw something strange.
Ji Song patted the columbine and said with some emotion: "An unparalleled treasure left to us by our ancestors, the columbine is a farm tool for sowing. It can greatly increase the speed of sowing!"
"Let's go now." When Yao Chang heard this, he couldn't stay any longer and took Old Man Gao directly to the field.
As a parent, how could I not know what a farm tool that greatly increases the speed of sowing means to the people? Within a short while, Yao Chang called over several people, all of whom were tall and strong men.
Old Man Gao asked them to carry out the columbine. After all, this thing was not light.
After a brief teaching, two of them tied the columbine to the cattle according to Old Man Gao's method.
When it was lifted and put into the ground, a sledge was set up behind the columbine. This was used to bury the seeds. Ji Song saw it in later generations.
The seeder sows the seeds in front, while a person stands on the sledge to weight the sledge and shake off the weeds on it without making it useless.
One person is holding the cow, and the other is standing on the sledge holding the rope. Everything is ready, waiting for the order.
An action on their side had already attracted everyone's attention, and the clerks and officials who were looking after them also came over to see what they were doing.
However, because Ji Song was there, no one dared to get too close. After all, this person was not easy to mess with! Ji Song didn't care and said to Lao Gao who was giving him a signal: "Let's start!"
Lao Gao picked up the braid and slapped the cow on the buttocks, shouting: "Start!"
"What are they doing?" Li Shimin asked a young-looking clerk while hiding in the crowd.
It turned out that they also saw something unusual here, especially that the plowing speed was too fast, more than three times higher than the normal speed. This made Li Shimin, who could not hold himself any longer, take him with him. Everyone came down to see what was going on.
But when I walked up to them, I saw Ji Song leading a few people as if they were testing something, so I asked this question.
"You are?"
I was a little unhappy when I saw that the young official at a key point was interrupted, so I wanted to reprimand when he saw that although the person who came was dressed simply, his temperament was inferior to that of the Marquis, he immediately became respectful.
There are only a few simple roles that can serve as minor officials. When dealing with the people at the bottom, you don't just have to be reasonable. Sometimes you still have to use some tricks.
"Oh, I'm a businessman passing by. I want to go to Chang'an for business. If I see anything unusual here, I'll come over and have a look!" Li Shimin said, pretending to be serious.
The young clerk rolled his eyes and said to himself: It would be weird to believe you!
But he still said: "It seems that our Lord Marquis is testing a kind of agricultural tool for sowing, saying that it can greatly increase the speed of sowing."
"what?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he could no longer maintain his calm expression.
The young official sneered and said: "Are you surprised? Didn't you see that we just used the plow that the Marquis prepared for us? That's fast. What used to take two people to complete can now be done by one person." , the one that follows is not needed.
But the Marquis said that he needed to make more preparations at the beginning, so he asked him to follow behind to see if there was anyone who needed help, and to help lift the plow. After all, that thing was not light! "
"How is this possible?" Li Shimin stood stunned on the spot. He never imagined that someone would make two farm tools at the same time, which can be called the country's sharp weapons.
He understood very well what a big change this would be. Why were the people still hungry despite having fields to farm, and some even a lot? It’s not just that the time for sowing and farming is limited each year. If there is extreme weather, there will be even less time for farming, so sometimes it is just a rush and there is no time for intensive farming.
In this way, you can imagine how much harvest you will get in the coming year.
"Look! How is this possible?" Changsun Wuji's eyes accidentally glanced at the slowly moving cattle, especially the strange six-legged instrument, and the seeds that continued to flow out from under the six legs at a constant speed. He could no longer calm down. .
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others looked around after hearing this. When they saw the reason clearly, they were completely numb.
I saw one person holding the cow in front to control the direction, and another person standing on the sledge pulling the rope, his feet shaking constantly, causing some large pieces of soil to be shaken to pieces.
The seeds on the six-legged instrument kept flowing out from it, and whenever it stopped, the seeds stopped flowing out.
They all know about farming. Wei Zheng even farmed the land himself when he was young. How could he not understand what he was doing?
Oh my God!How did Ji Song do it? If they and others hadn't seen these two powerful weapons of the country with their own eyes, if anyone mentioned it, they would definitely spit on each other's face, which is not what they would dream of doing.
Ordinary people may not quite understand the power of these two things, but they just know that it is easier for their families to plow the land, the sowing time is shortened, more land can be plowed, and there will be more food next year.
But as the rulers of this country, they understand that these two things will completely change the way people farm, save more time, and the country will be able to have more farmland.
