Chapter 91 Cattle and Fields

The technique of piercing the bull's nose is not very difficult. You can learn it by finding a few blacksmiths and workers with a simple training.

Su Ming asked the blacksmith and several workers to ask the blacksmith to create a nose ring and a tool for piercing the ring. The buffalo's nose was not understood, and another thin film blocked it. Su Ming specially asked the workers to create a solid frame and then led the buffalo in. The thick wooden frame fixed the buffalo, and the buffalo's movement ability was suddenly limited.

The buffalo felt very uncomfortable after being restricted from moving space. He was moving and wanted to break free from the constraints, but his body was tightly bound and there was no way. After binding the buffalo, a worker stepped forward with the already-built nose ring and piercing tool.

He reached out and grabbed the bison's nostril, lifted it up, and then quickly stabbed the membrane in the middle of the bison's nostril with an iron cone.

The sharp iron cone directly pierced the periosteum, and the pain came. The bison muscles were tightened, and then they shook their bodies to escape. The bison went crazy and had more than a thousand pounds of strength, but when they encountered the wooden frame made of iron oak, there was no way to do it. They were locked tightly and could not move, so they could only make a few wailing cry in vain.

After the bull's nostrils were connected, the worker immediately used the prepared bull's nose ring to pass through, and then used tools to bend and close it. The bull's nose ring was completed. Next, just tie a rope to the bull's nose ring to easily control the bison.

There are many nerves on the bull's nose. This is the biggest weakness of the bison. The originally unruly and difficult-to-do beast immediately becomes honest and well-behaved after being put on the nose ring, and does whatever it wants.

Unlocked the constraints and asked the workers to take the bison away directly, then lead another bison and repeat it according to the previous operation. In just one afternoon, hundreds of bisons were put on their nose rings and began to work honestly.

With these bisons as laborers, the construction of the territory is much easier. These bisons are strong and can easily pull thousands of pounds of heavy objects at one time.

The construction of a town requires the transportation of heavy objects, such as various building materials. At the same time, the stone mills used for road construction can also be pulled by bison, and there are also oxen to be used for reclaiming wasteland outside the city.

The farming technology in this era was still relatively backward, and even farm fertilizer was not used. The plow used for farming also required heavy plows, which required at least two cows to pull and use, and it was troublesome to turn and difficult to use.

Su Ming found out the drawings of the curved plow and then found two craftsmen to make it. The structure of the curved plow is not complicated and can even be called simple. After the drawings, two skilled craftsmen made the curved plow in just one morning.

In the afternoon, Su Ming took people to conduct an experiment.

In Milanheim, in the newly opened farmland, a group of people were watching around a strange plow.

"Can this plow work? You see, it is still bent!"

"Yes, I don't think so. You see, the plows we use are heavy and heavy, and how can this plow be so light?

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that this plow was made by our Lord!"

"Yes, I heard about it, too!"

"Since it was asked by Lord Lord, then there must be his intention!"

"Although Lord Lord is very strong, the farming work depends on us farmers. I don't like this Quyuan Plow!"

"Lord Lord is powerful, but he should have never planted it..."

Just as these people were chatting, Su Ming and his group walked towards the side.

"Sir, you're all ready!" a servant walked over and said.

Su Ming nodded and said, "Then let's start!"

With Su Ming's order, several workers came over with a bison with a nose ring. After leading the bison, the other two went forward to install plows for the bison. The bison obviously felt uncomfortable with installing these things on their bodies, and their bodies swayed slightly, but they could only bear it honestly with the nose ring.

Soon the two of them packed the bellows plow, one of them was holding the bison's nose ring in front, and the other was holding the bellows plows behind. The two of them entered the farmland together with the cows.

"start!"

With a command, the worker in front began to plow the land with the nose ring of the bison. Under the huge force of the bison, the curved plow deeply cut into the earth, and the black and brown land was quickly turned on. The bison kept speeding, dragging the curved plow forward quickly, and as the curved plow moved, the soil in the field was quickly turned on. In a short while, he walked more than ten meters away.

The farmers around saw that the curved plow was so fast that they subconsciously felt that it was impossible, so they hurried to the field that had just been plowed to check.

"This is impossible!"

"It's so deep!"

"Why is it so fast..."

Su Ming glanced at the surprised people and smiled slightly in his heart. The effect of the curved plow was more than this.

Soon the bison pulled the curved plow and walked to the end of the field. Just when others thought the curved plow needed to be carried out like the Zhong Plow, two workers directly led the cow to turn, and the curved plow also changed direction lightly, without any effort as heavy plows.

The farmers around were completely shocked and did not expect that this inconspicuous curved plow would be so useful. Soon, the buffalo came back with the curved plow. This time, the two workers still did not stop and turned lightly and continued to plow.

About half an hour later, a mu of land was plowed by the curved plow.

After experimenting with the curved plow, Su Ming also obtained relatively detailed data. The efficiency of the curved plow is twice that of the heavy plow, and the curved plow only requires one cow to cultivate, unlike the heavy plow that requires two cows.

The domesticated bison also satisfied Su Ming. The buffalo is stronger than the domestic cow, and it is effortless to drag the curved plow. After determining the effect of the curved plow, Su Ming asked the blacksmith to start mass production. With the ox and curved plow, even if the farmland in Milanheim increases tenfold next year, it can be easily cultivated.

If Milanheim hadn't had a short population now, Su Ming would have wanted to increase the efforts to reclaim wasteland. There are wasteland everywhere outside the town, and there is no city for dozens of kilometers around. It would be a waste not to cultivate so much land.
