After the Spring Festival, the beginning of spring was. In Chang'an, the ice and snow had completely melted, and green began to appear on the earth. In the large fields outside Chang'an City, farmers had already started to farm. Manure was promoted in Guanzhong area for the first time this year, and many people had the idea of ​​exclusion.

After all, it is not clear whether the thing can be grown into. Even if it is planted, it is still unknown whether it can be eaten. Ye Zhao did not force the people to use manure. He used it if he was willing, and did not want to use it, so he used the previous farming method.

However, a lot of farm tools rented out in the government were rented out, but they were limited to some light farm tools such as hoes, rakes, sickles, and sowing machines and crooked plows developed in Shuzhong were basically ignored. Such things had happened in Hanzhong and Shuzhong. At that time, even officials opposed it, so the officials under Ye Zhao were very skilled in dealing with this kind of thing and promoted it without rushing or impatiently.

An official land outside Chang'an City belongs to the Ye family. It is not large in area, only about ten acres, but it does not hire tenants, but the Ye family members will come to the heavier side themselves.

"Lord, this heavy plow is afraid that it will take four cows to pull it?" In the private fields of the Ye family outside the city, Qiu Chi, Huang Shao and other officials in charge of agriculture surrounded the new plow sent by Shenji Camp and looked up and down.

This new plough is very large and looks like a carriage, but it does not have wheels. Instead, there are many bearings and gears inside the plough. It looks quite strange, but the weight is probably not light, especially the conical plough below is made of iron.

Ye Zhao didn't say anything and asked someone to put two cows on it. Now the ice and snow have not been freezing for a while, and the ground is very strong. Generally, if you come to farm manually, you may have to waste a lot of effort.

"Let's start." Ye Zhao waved to Ye Zheng who was manipulating the plow.

"Here!" Ye Zheng agreed, waved his whip, and drove the two cows to move forward. In the surprised eyes of the crowd, the plow was easily pulled by the two cows and began to plow the fields quickly. Moreover, the two cows were marching like flying, and they didn't seem to be laborious.

"This..." Huang Shao felt incredible. After he finished plowing, he stepped forward and pushed the plow, wanting to see if the plow had any mystery. He just let him use all his strength, but he couldn't shake the plow at all. He couldn't help but look at Ye Zhao in surprise.

"The newly made bearings of Shengong Camp were originally intended to be used as chariots, but they were not suitable, so they were used on this plough. The effect was good." Ye Zhao looked at the plough and shook his head and smiled: "But the cost is too expensive. There are hundreds of gears used in it, but they are very easy to damage and require regular maintenance. Most people really can't afford it. If you want, this heavy plough can be used by you and others."

Nowadays, Guanzhong is basically managed by official land. Because of the contribution of Xiliang generals to attack each other, Ye Zhao has vacated a large amount of private land. Ye Zhao has unified the land to officials. Officials at all levels have clear standards for renting land. They cannot rent more. The tax will be less than that of ordinary people, but the minimum is not lower than that of ordinary people.

In addition, some craftsmen with outstanding contributions will also receive this discount. Now as their territory grows bigger and bigger, they are becoming more and more cautious about rewards and punishments. Ye Zhao needs the enthusiasm of his subordinates, but he does not want to cause a big loss in the future. Especially now Ye Zhao has occupied Guanzhong and is already a major force. There is no need to make promises for quick success and instant benefits. Whether it is fulfilled in the end or not, there will be no good results.

However, in addition to these, Ye Zhao would often reward some wealth to his subordinates, which is also a kind of benefit.

"Okay, the trial has been completed. You can take the plow away later." Ye Zhao asked someone to remove the plow and said to everyone.

"Thank you!" The officials were overjoyed. With this thing, they could cultivate Wancheng in one or two days after half a month's work.

This is the Ye family’s field. After getting the heavy plow, everyone did not disturb Ye Zhao anymore. Everyone knows that this land was planted by Ye Zhao and his two sons.

A few craftsmen left behind were discussing the number of new plows with Ye Zhao.

"Don't do too much. After all, this kind of thing is too expensive and easy to be damaged. It is not affordable for ordinary people. Just have one in each county. Don't focus on these finished products," Ye Zhao looked at the plow being pulled and said, "After all, this is just a by-product. If the development of the chariot is not failed, it will not be used to plow the fields."

"What the lord said is very much." Several craftsmen bowed.

"Lord, although the chariot has not been developed, I have recently simplified the chariot and made a new car without a horse pull! It is a car that can be driven by the pulleys mentioned by the lord and constantly dispersing the power." The captain of the Shengong Camp said to Ye Zhao with a smile.

"Operate?" Ye Zhao looked at the other party in surprise and shook his head, "Do you know, what is the crime of falsely reporting achievements?"

Permanent motion machines have proven to not exist. Not to mention that now, the future generations of developed technology have not yet made real permanent motion machines. Now Isn’t this a joke to tell myself that I can use pulleys to make my own cars?

"I dare not." The captain of the Shengong Camp said quickly.

"Okay, let me see what this car that can walk automatically is?" Ye Zhao frowned.

"I'll send someone to deliver it." The captain of the Shengong Camp bowed and hurriedly sent someone to pick up the things.

Soon, under Ye Zheng and Cai Yi's curious eyes, a wooden car that could automatically walk without a horse was manipulated.

Seeing this so-called automatic car, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing. The vehicle was about five meters long and two meters wide. There were several pulley sets on it, which were connected to the bearings by animal tendons. On the other end, there was a cage connected. There was a large group of mice running wildly inside the cage, causing the specially made cage to rotate wildly, causing the animal tendons to pull the pulley set behind it, and then went down one step at a time, and finally the car was dragged around. The speed was not fast, but for this era, it was indeed an automatic car.

"It only takes thirty or fifty mice to pull the vehicle around, and it can carry 3500 kilograms." The captain of the Shengong Camp smiled and said, "Now it is just a test. I will think about whether the load can be increased if I work more units to work together. However, the body of the vehicle will be increased because of this. It is not suitable for being a chariot, but it can be used to transport goods and save a lot of war horses!"

"The mouse pulls the cart!" Ye Zhao nodded with a smile: "This idea is not something that people with rigid thinking like you can come up with."

"Lord's wise eyes!" Several masters looked at each other and bowed and said, "It's true that this thing was made by the Ma family."

"Ma Family's son?" Ye Zhao looked at one of them curiously and smiled: "Son of Master Ma?"

"That's right." Master Ma nodded with a wry smile.

"Since there are such talents, why not recommend them to the Shengong Camp?" Ye Zhao said in confusion.

"Back to the lord, the dog son and Ma Jun, who is only seven years old this year, this... is not in accordance with the rules." Master Ma smiled bitterly and said, "This thing was also a sudden whim of my dog ​​son."

"Interesting!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I have a lot of ideas, have you ever entered school?"

"I haven't been prepared to stabilize this year and enter the county school." Master Ma bowed and said.

"It's a good seedling. Let him go directly to the Chang'an Academy of Mathematics and Technology Academy to study. This is a special recruitment of Chang'an Academy." Ye Zhao nodded and said. Whether it was the Chengdu Academy of the past or the Chang'an Academy today, some talented young people will directly go through various assessments to initiate invitations. Of course, entering Chang'an Academy does not mean that you can rest assured. If you don't learn and do not learn, you will be expelled.

"Thank you lord!" Master Ma was overjoyed when he heard this. This was joy that came from the sky.

"As for this thing... I had a good idea before, so I can increase it and use it as a transport vehicle." Ye Zhao looked at the two rat carts and said with a smile: "Since it is being pulled by rat power, I will call it a rat cart in the future! This thing is much easier to find than a war horse."

"Here!" Several masters bowed and saw that Ye Zhao had no other instructions and walked back with the rat cart. Next, it was time to study this aspect.

Looking at Ye Zheng and Cai Yi who looked reluctant, Ye Zhao broke down on their foreheads and said, "What are you looking at? You've cultivated the fields."

"Oh~" The two little guys shrank their heads and each picked up the farm tools to go to the ground.

Xiao Caiyi looked at the ten acres of land that were endless to him and said with a bitter face: "Father, my Ye family is already rich in two states, and the family wealth is as rich as a country. Why do you still suffer from this labor?"

"What? Do you look down on the farmer after you have a good birth?" Ye Zhao knocked on the head of Cai Yi.

"The boy dares not." Cai Yi said bitterly with his head in his arms.

"This kind of land is also a science. You have to know the weather, how to plant the earth, how to plant it, and how to fertilize it to plant the crops. Our culture is all born between the ridges of the fields. Even the land cannot be planted well. What big things do you want to do in the future?" Ye Zhao looked at the two and said.

"What my father taught me is." Ye Zheng saw Ye Zhao looking over, and hurriedly bowed.

"This is also a test of your patience. The food you grow by yourself will feel different from the day you get it!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You don't need to understand the truth now, but you need to do it now!"

"Here!"

"I heard that the Taiwei's tutor is cautious and strict. Now it seems that he knows what he says is true!" A loud laugh came from a distance, but Chen Qun and Xi Zhicai walked side by side.

When Ye Zhao saw the two, he smiled and shook his head, "This kind mother is so loving. If you have time, your son still has to teach him! Changwen has lived in Chang'an these few days, but is it still accustomed to it?"

"Very good!" Chen Qun bowed and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the Grand Marshal."

"You and I are old friends, why are you polite?" Ye Zhao came out of the ground and smiled at Chen Qun: "Now Chang'an is in chaos, which makes Changwen laugh."

"Why did the Taiwei say this?" Chen Qun shook his head and said, "The Taiwei has only been in Chang'an for half a year, but it has already made Chang'an gradually regain its vitality. Such skills are hard to find in the world!"

"Don't say anything complimented. If you are tired of hearing it, are there anyone who is lucky enough to be reborn?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Yes!" Chen Qun has lived in the Taiwei Mansion these days, and he also knew Ye Zhao's attitude towards things in private. He smiled and said, "In the next time I come to Chang'an, in addition to congratulations, there is another thing. My Lord wants to form an alliance with the Taiwei and fight against Yuan Shao together. I wonder what the Taiwei wants?"

"If you tell me about this kind of thing in this way, long article tells me in such a place?" Ye Zhao said with a funny look.

"To be honest, when my Lord came to Luoyang in the group, he had already said that as long as the group spoke, the Taiwei would agree, so I'm here to tell him when he was about to leave." Chen Qun bowed.

"The one who knows me is Meng De!" Ye Zhao smiled and looked at Chen Qun and said, "Anyway, will Changwen leave now?"

"There are still some official duties to be handled. I have been staying in Chang'an for several days and dare not delay any more." Chen Qun bowed and said.

"Okay, then go back and tell Meng De that before Yuan Shao's destruction, I would be in peace with him, and I could help him restrain Lu Bu in Nanyang, so that he could feel at ease to deal with the second Yuan!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"I will definitely report this time to my master!" Chen Qun was stunned and then smiled bitterly. It seemed that his intention had been seen through by others. Fortunately, he was still pretending to be advanced here for several days, and immediately bowed and said, "Then I will say goodbye."

"Zhicai sent me a long article on my behalf, and prepared some specialties from Shu for Meng De and asked me to take them back. Are you a gift? In addition, there is a letter from me to Meng De in the mansion. I will go back later and ask Uncle Zhao Liang to take it to Meng De." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Chen Qun's lips twitched when he heard this. What Cao Cao brought to Ye Zhao was all precious. Not to mention that it was priceless, it was absolutely unreal. Even if Ye Zhao didn't give a gift, he wouldn't have to deal with it. He wouldn't have to take some local specialties to deal with it, right?
