Chapter 122 The advent of Qu Yuuli (presented today, please vote!!!) "My lord, is this?"
After tossing and turning all night, Liu Han decided to take out the Quyuanli drawings.
"When I was still studying in Hejian, I saw farmers using straight-shaft plows, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. I wondered if I could design a new type of plow for farming so that they wouldn't have to work so hard. This is the design drawing, and the one next to it is plow.
This plow consists of eleven is, plow share, plow wall, plow bottom, pressing mortar, forehead, plow arrow, plow shaft, plow tip, plow comment, plow construction and plow plate. "
Liu Han pointed at each part of the plow while introducing, "Compared with the plow, this plow has several differences. First, the straight and long shafts are changed to curved and short shafts, and the shaft head is Install plow discs that rotate freely.
This design not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, making the operation flexible and saving manpower and livestock.
Secondly, the plow blade and plow construction are added. If the plow blade is pushed forward, the plow arrows will be downward, and the plowshare will be deeply inserted into the soil. If the plow blade is lifted, the plow arrows will be upward, and the plowshare will be shallowly inserted into the soil.
The plow wall not only breaks up the soil, but also pushes the plowed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plow. "
Everyone looked at the new plow and marveled at it. Without saying anything, they asked people to bring the plow outside the city.
It is late autumn, the sky and the earth have become higher and further away, and the world seems to be dyed with a light golden color.
The sun rises later and later, and the days get shorter.
The morning fog is getting thicker and the humidity in the air is temperature during the day began to gradually drop, and the chill began to gently invade every autumn wind also began to blow frequently, and the fallen leaves danced in the wind and fell to the ground, like a layer of yellow carpet. The wind sometimes became stronger and even biting, but it did not make people feel cold.
After leaving the city, they came to a farmland and hitched the new plow to the old scalper.
"Here is the plow arrow, here is the plow guide. As long as you press the shaft, and then use the plow guide to fix the plow arrow from the shaft, you can make the depth of the plow deeper, and vice versa, you can make the depth of the plow shallower. You can adjust it arbitrarily according to the situation of the field..."
Liu Han squatted on the ground and explained each component one by one, and from time to time he had to do some debugging himself. Every time he introduced it, he could draw admiration from the experienced farmers around him.
These old farmers never imagined that this rough plower could be made so exquisitely.
By the time Liu Han introduced all the general uses of the Quyuan plow, his hands and feet were already covered with mud.
Liu Han wiped the mud from his hands on his clothes, clapped his hands and said, "Old people, do you all understand? If you don't understand, can I explain it again?"
"I understand, I understand. Mr. Fu really has an exquisite heart with seven orifices. He can make such exquisite things. I really admire him, old guy."
After the old farmer said this, he bowed respectfully to Liu his lead, the other old farmers also followed suit.
"Get up, everyone, get up, farming is the foundation of the world, and I'm just doing my best. It's hard to be such a great gift, it's hard to be such a great gift."
Now that the functions of the new plow have been explained, it’s time for demonstration. With Liu Han’s explanation and decades of experience as an experienced farmer, it doesn’t take long to teach.
"Snapped!"
With the sound of the whip, the old scalper walked forward consciously, and the old farmer felt the curved shaft plow in his hand move forward, and rhythmically swung the second whip...
This is the gene of the farming nation engraved in the bones, and it will never disappear no matter when.
"Very good!" As the old farmer became more and more familiar with the new plow, one person, one ox and one plow kept moving forward, turning and turning around in the farmland.
Everyone looked at the old farmer who had walked far away, squatted down silently, and reached out to touch the newly dug soil. Their faces were calm, but their hearts were turbulent.
Compared with the original straight plow, this new type of plow allows a strong worker to plow several acres more land!
At this time, everyone who accompanied Liu Han was shocked. No one was a fool. If this kind of plow became popular among the Han people, it would be great news for the Han people who are currently under the grain productivity!With it, how many acres of farmland will the Han Dynasty have?How many more people can it feed?
"Is this the prodigy?"
Jushou couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When everyone was afraid of his power, everyone forgot that this was the proudest and smartest disciple of the great scholar Zheng Xuan. The "prodigy" was really not something he boasted about, but the real deal.
"When you have a son, you should be like the king of the river! No, if you have half of him, you will have no worries."
If his son is really as talented and knowledgeable as the King of Hejian, Jushou will have a headache even more, because such a monster-like existence will definitely arouse the jealousy of everyone. Without the identity and status of the King of Hejian, the genius who has not grown up will still be a genius. Considered a genius?
"My lord, if this plow is mass-produced this winter and can be used in the next spring, then..."
Jushu couldn't even imagine how hot the coming spring would be.
But the final decision rests with Liu Han.
Liu Han was still very confused, precisely because he knew how much change this thing would bring, and he was undecided.
Liu Han did not answer Jushou's question.
# "Han'er, why are you free to come to my residence today?"
For Liu Han, Zheng Xuan could be said to be both his teacher and his father, even though no one in the world dared to recognize him as his father.
Over the past few years, regardless of whether it was cold or hot, Zheng Xuan had taught him everything he could about Confucianism, miscellaneous studies, the best of hundreds of schools of thought, and even political strategy. It can be said that Zheng Xuan had no reservations.
He knew that Liu Han could not inherit his legacy, but he did not regret it, because the road this child had to take was more difficult than anyone else's, and his achievements in the future were more brilliant than anyone else's.
Since arriving in Bingzhou, except for the climate, Zheng Xuan's treatment has been the best. Zheng Xuan also said to Liu Han: "Confucian scholars should set an example and be poor and frugal. This should not be the case."
But Liu Han retorted: "You are a Confucian, but you have been poor all your life. In your later years, you have disciples to serve you. It's time to enjoy yourself. Besides, these are nothing. The most important thing for you now is to stay healthy and look after your disciples." Achieve great things.
Besides, if others knew that you lived in such poverty, they would think that I was unfilial and abused my mentor. After all, I am also a prince of Han Dynasty, and I also want to save face. "
Zheng Xuan was amused by Liu Han. Others didn't know it. As Liu Han's teacher, didn't he know it? This kid often doesn't care about face when he does things. He plots against people and things that he doesn't like. Sometimes he doesn't follow martial ethics and ends up personally because of his special status.
But to be honest, the child is not very kind to me.
Treat others with sincerity.
