"It's great to use ox to plow the iron tools."

A few days ago, the farmer who was still ploughing in front of the fifth reunion, struggling with ropes and crawling in the ground like a snail, was very happy today.

The ox is much stronger than that of a human being. With the attitude of two oxes holding a quarrel, they can move forward with ease. The large iron plow behind them has penetrated deeply into the ground. The plow wall ruthlessly opens the dry and hard soil, making the soil soft and suitable for wheat seeds to grow.

No wonder, both the former Han and the New Dynasty, there are laws and regulations that strictly prohibit the slaughter of plowing oxen. The people also respect these people very much, and they are only regarded as sacred cows. However, they cannot do such things as drinking cow urine and washing cow dung baths.

Because it was to draw lots to decide on the order of borrowing, the people in the back had nothing to complain about. When using cows, the people were careful and did not dare to wield heavy whips, for fear of hurting the cows and losing weight.

It happened that the fifth domineering passed by. After seeing the light movements of everyone, he was extremely upset. He stopped and shouted: "Don't eat enough? Use some energy. Although my cow is strong, it will not plow the land!"

Everyone then let go a little. Occasionally, they accidentally touched the stone that broke the plow blade, so they held it nervously and returned it. Although they were glared at the fifth square of the farm tools, they did not let them pay.

Now people feel relieved, and they all sigh that the head of the family, who has never cared about their lives and death, has changed his sexuality this year. He also heard that this was the little husband's idea, so they all secretly rushed to the fifth reunion who was squatting by the field to settle the score.

The fifth relationship is counting. How much time can the plow save for the whole person? One person and two oxen can plow thirty small acres of land in a few hours. This rate is several times that of coupling farming and wood and stone tools. After the autumn plowing ends, before the social day comes, farmers can get seven or eight days of free time. When they are called to work, they should not resist.

While resting halfway, Di Wulun announced that he would use the slack farming and rebuilding the Lishe Club. The farmers were silent for a moment, and then they all acted very enthusiastically: "The Qiu Club has not done well for several years, which is indeed a big deal! Only by entertaining the gods can we make the weather and rain in the coming year."

"We will go and help immediately after a few days of sowing the seeds!"

"I'll go down the mountain to cut down trees."

"I'll dig the soil by the canal."

"I'll go to the kiln to burn tiles!"

Anyway, I am idle and idle. Although I don’t have any wages, the Fifth Family can take care of the food. Everyone is so busy with firewood. Now that I have been blessed with a large amount of money by borrowing a cow, whoever is lazy will be turned away.

Even a half-sized child with a dysentery yelled to help hand over bricks. In the children's memory, Qiushe is the most fun time of the year. He danced and cheered the gods and was happy. Isn't it good?

Now the fifth reunion was relieved. On the other side, the "new things" he made by the blacksmith Qiu Gaonu a few days ago also completed his first practice farming.

...

"Grandfather, what's the matter with me?"

The middle-aged man who was called was the fifth Pingdan who dropped the pear tree that day and sent someone to send him home with a horse.

The fifth one is wrong. This person’s generation is not his nephew, but his grandson. There is no way, he has at least a dozen grandchildren in the whole family, and even great-grandchildren who are older than him.

A man in his forties, but he was 17 years old, and he was a little embarrassed at first, but he got used to it.

"Have your feet done?"

Wu Lun looked at his injured foot and said that this person was lucky. The wound on his foot was not infected. Once the wound became cervical, the mortality rate was very high.

"Okay, thanks to the medicine sent by the clan grandfather, the grandson of this kindness is not known how to repay the kindness."

In order to prove it, the fifth Pingdan stomped his feet on the ground.

Wu Lun quickly stopped him: "Be gentler, go to the ground to work, remember to wear shoes, and stop barefoot anymore."

These words made the fifth Pingdan a little embarrassed. He was embarrassed to say it. He died two years ago. There was no one in the family to weave shoes, so he could only make do with straw sandals. His hands were stupid and loose, and they broke up in a few days. The only good shoes in the family were so that the two sons who went out had to take turns wearing them.

I heard that one of the best crops in the fifth day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the 5th day of the

Fifth Reunion These days, people found that the plows they used were very different from what they saw when they lived in the south in the future. Although the plow tips, plow beds, plow shafts, and plow arrows were all ready, the biggest difference is that the shaft is long and straight, which is not conducive to steering, so you have to use a two-ox ox to lift the bar to operate.

Later generations were curved plows, which were slightly shorter and could be pulled by a cow.

According to memory, the fifth reunion asked the blacksmith to make a fight. I don’t know if it was distorted. After the fifth Pingdan manipulated it and tried it, the feedback I received was pretty good.

"It is not only very small and lightweight, but also easy to turn and turn. It is suitable for small pieces of land."

Indeed, the bulky straight plow is more like a design for more than 50 hectares of flat land in the Fifth Family. Each household has less than 100 acres of land for self-cultivated farmers. Because of inheritance and division, it is divided into pieces in the east and west, which is difficult to make a large plow, but the curved plow is just right.

So Di Ren happily took Xin Plow to report his merits to his grandfather who was sitting on the ridge of the field to bask in the sun, hoping to make more than ten curved plows before spring plowing.

The fifth barbarian had long been accustomed to the endless new ideas of his grandson. He was trying the plow in the field. He kept looking at it, but he was not too surprised. He only looked up and down and said slowly: "It's a good thing, it can save manpower and is suitable for small farmers' farming, but..."

He asked his grandson a question.

"Lun'er, do you think it's manpower or iron?"

"Of course...it's expensive."

The fifth reunion was silent, knowing that he was in a hurry.

The two policies that the richest families hate the new dynasty most. One is the order of Wang Tian’s private dependents, which allows them to limit their appetites if they want to obtain more land.

The second is that the five equals and six equals are the ones that hurt not only the little self-cultivated farmers, but also the landlords and the good ones are also deeply affected. Not to mention salt, wine, and light iron, they monopolize the source of production tools.

From mining to casting to sales, the government is responsible for the iron. Of course, the pricing is determined by the officials, and it is expensive. This is like a handicraft scissor gap, an invisible heavy tax. The new dynasty achieved "no taxes but the country can use its feet without increasing taxes", which can support foreign wars, but Haoyou was so angry that he hated it.

No wonder during the Han Dynasty, the world's virtuous literature repeatedly requested the abolition of the salt and iron monopoly. This is indeed the common hope of landlords and civilians. Although for the lower class, this is just the difference between the government and the powerful leeks.

If it is spiritual, the Liu family and the Wang family can still scold the landlord class for greed and short-sightedness regardless of national interests, but as the stupid grandson of the landlord family...

Wu Lun touched his butt, patted his head, and smiled.

"That sentence is really right."

The powerful emperor in Kanto was far away and could still ignore the laws. The fifth family was in Guanzhong, but he did not dare to disobey him too much. He looked for mining and smelting himself? Not to mention that his family had no financial resources at all. He probably just built an iron furnace and was taken over by the government. The whole family became prisoners and went on the road to develop the frontier together.

Now that I want to build a new plow, I will definitely not be able to get the freshly baked iron blocks. I can only buy the finished iron tools from the county iron officials, and then melt them and recast them after I go home. After a while, the cost will naturally be higher.

This matter can only be given up temporarily. Fortunately, the fifth domineering is not stubborn and conservative. I just hope that my grandson will understand the difficulties of this world more and not think about it.

He agreed with the fifth reunion that he would let the craftsmen and servants use hardwood to make some curved shafts. If the straight plough at home is broken, it will not be repaired. Then melt the iron into a plow blade and wrap it on the curved shaft, and slowly update it. We should not think about eating it into a fat man in one bite.

The fifth reunion nodded, but there was another layer of worry.

"Since it's so difficult to deal with, what should I do if I want to make hoarding weapons in the future?"

...

By mid-August, the autumn plowing of the fifth mile is over, and the sowing process is coming.

As a southerner who grew up eating rice, the fifth reunion really doesn’t know much about wheat, and he doesn’t know much about noodles and scones.

In addition, the county is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong. It was baptized by Zhao Guo and Jin Shengzhi as early as the former Han Dynasty. The intensive farming technology has been very advanced. The field law area of ​​the field has also been used, and there are also compost and fertilization, and there are few places where the fifth relationship can be discussed.

He even saw the fifth tyrant wave his hand and asked someone to carry out the "seeder" in the warehouse and use it on his fifty hectares of land. This thing is called the "three-legged cart", which was invention by Zhao Guo, a farmer during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. It still has to be pulled by a cattle in front, and one person holds the cart in the back and sow wheat seeds into the pit. One hectares of land can be sown in a day, and it is sown very evenly, without causing waste.

The fifth reunion only recommends "mixed beans", a common sense that people who have studied junior high school biology have. This is one of the "open source" methods he thought of, and may be able to slightly increase the yield per mu in the coming year.

"It's too slow, it's too slow." The fifth reun knew that whether it's the bell plow or the bean-wheat intercropping, the growth of the harvest will not be immediate. It's better to simply and roughly thicken and harvest more than three or five hundred stones.

Moreover, crop growth has its own rules and will have to wait until the next year to harvest. How many years will he prepare for it?

Thinking of the fifth relationship, he was just so happy. He seemed to know how to raise grain and iron the fastest.

"A great way to make a fortune is written in the criminal law!"

Of course, I had to be a good citizen of law-abiding in my previous life, but in the new dynasty, these damn laws and regulations forced the fifth ethics to have the urge to violate the law and discipline.

It was not until the seeds were sown that the fifth reunion had a place to use it again.

The fifth mile is next to Chengguo Canal. The ditches lead water from the gate and then into various fields. He saw that most farmers use orange tills and wheels to get water, and the efficiency is very slow. Even the 50 hectares of fields in the Fifth Family family use equipment similar to keel water trucks, which has to be stepped on by manpower.

It's too late this year. Maybe before the spring plow next year, you can make water conservancy equipment such as tube trucks, but you have to go to the county town to hire a more powerful carpenter. Although the fifth idea is many, the ability to do it is poor.

On that day, when Di Wu Lun was taking people to find a suitable carriage location by the ditch, his companion came over panting when Di Wu Fu.

"Little Langjun, it's not good."

"What's the matter?"

"Fight...fight for water!"

The farmers who were drawing water were furious when they heard this, threw the wooden barrel, held the shoulder pole and asked, "Who dares to compete for water with the fifth mile! Let's see if we won't beat him to death!"

It was not them who boasted that under the leadership of the veteran Fifth Domineer, no one in the hometown is the opponent of the Fifth Clan.

"no."

Wu Fu waved his hand quickly and pointed to the west and said, "It's the Sixth Family and the Seventh Family competing for water, and the fight started!"

...

"I've said it earlier. What does it have to do with others fighting for water? I don't share the same channel with them."

When the farmers on the fifth mile heard this, they carried the shoulder pole back on their shoulders and left with a giggle.

However, the fifth reunion thoughtfully and called a few disciples to echo the tribe and followed him to the west to take a look.

Chengguoqu was built during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. If Zhengguoqu and Baiqu nourished Shiwei County east of Jingshui, then Chengguoqu would benefit the three counties of Fuwei, Jingwei and Liwei.

The government also attached great importance to ditches and set up a special Dushui official to manage them, and divided the canal sections for each county and county. It is not allowed to build dams upstream to store water, so that there is no water available in the downstream, which will cause death.

However, the smaller branch canals below the county and townships do not have that much energy to manage. Other places don’t know that in Linqu Township, Changping County, a small canal is opened in every two miles, and then a water use ratio that is satisfactory to both parties according to the population and the amount of cultivated land.

However, this year the upstream was drought, and the water flow in Chengguo Canal was a little small, so the water resources immediately became tense.

After walking a few miles, I saw sparse wild trees in the fields, and there were streams and small plateaus in the distance, living nearby. Groups of villagers gathered from each other, holding manure forks, sticks, hoes and even sickles, and rushed towards the ditches with great momentum.

The fifth reunion asked someone to ask, and the people from the Sixth Li insisted: "The Seventh family destroyed the Old Testament and wanted to divide more water into his land! It was their first move!"

When they approached the branch canal again, they heard a loud noise. The sixth farmer who arrived here in advance were forced to retreat step by step by step by step by group of people wearing strong clothes and holding swords.

The Sixth Family, who has been burying his land, is obviously not the Seventh Family, who is famous for its light heroes. When they meet this group of brave and fierce evil boys, they are still real guys in their hands. How can they resist the mere farm tools? Soon the sickle was broken, the feces were cut off, and they retreated in a hurry.

Looking at this scene, Di Wulun held the ring knife around his waist and was a little hesitant.
