After solving the problem of fertilizer, Marin suddenly remembered another very important problem - the plowing problem...

Although the Wadden Islands have used more efficient volleys under the promotion of Marin. However, there are no other places. In the whole of Europe, the Wadden Islands and Hoffman Manor, use volleys and use nose rings to control oxen.

If the East Friesian region is allowed to use old light plows or Saxony heavy plows, the effect of arable land will be greatly reduced. Because the light plow is shallow, it is not conducive to the development of crop roots. Heavy plows are too wasteful of animal power, and only a few horses or cows can use one plow, which is too low. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the use of curved plows.

As for the confidentiality of the curved plow, Malin just wanted to do it, but he couldn't do it. Because the farming effect of the curved plow can be seen at a glance, and it is very simple to imitate it. Therefore, Malin simply took out the curved plow generously and promoted it nationwide. Then, he simply put some of the contributions to the fertilizer on the curved plow and fooled others...

Thinking of this, Ma Lin immediately signed the sheepskin document and ordered the blacksmiths and carpenters in the country of Bo to start building curved plows according to the official drawings to prepare for spring plowing.

There is naturally no problem with the 60,000 Yugram arable land added by Marin himself, so he directly ordered it to be used. As the land owner and the ruler of the country, how dare the serfs object? Anyway, the effect will be known when it is used. Once the effect is released, everyone will have to support it.

As for others, such as Marin's men, they had seen the benefits of the curved plow as early as the Waden Islands. So, it goes without saying.

Only the remaining serf owners have never seen the Qurooster Plow, and may still be confused. Although the effect will be immediately available after the Qurooster Plow is used. However, Marin was unwilling to wait until the problem came out and then change the Qurooster Plow for them. Because there is no time in time.

Although these serf owners did not have to pay taxes in the past three years, Marin hoped to increase his prestige and ability to coordinate and arrange the situation through the promotion of the serf plow, and to allow these little nobles to form the habit of obeying themselves. Therefore, Marin also sent them a public letter, demanding that the serf plow be forced to promote the serf plow.

Sure enough, at the beginning, many young nobles were very disgusted with Marin's interference in the question of what plow they used. Moreover, they did not believe what Marin said, the plow that can be pulled by a cow/horse is similar to that of Saxony's heavy plow.

Marin didn't talk nonsense. After the first batch of curved plows were built, before the spring plowing arrived, Marin gathered all the local little nobles together and showed the effects of curved plows, Saxony heavy plows and light plows on the spot on the experimental field...

After watching for a day, these little nobles finally convinced and agreed to use the chubby plow in their own manor. And Marin did not make any money, and they all provided them with the chubby plow at the cost price.

Then, Marin began to consider replacing half of the horses with plowing ox...

This method is mainly implemented on its own land. The reason for this is that Marin is mainly to save feeding costs. At the same time, he freed up half of the horses and used them all for transportation.

For example, Marin decided to promote the developed postal system nationwide. In this era, there are obviously no motorcycles that transport mail and goods. Therefore, they can only use horse-drawn carriages.

In his manor, there are at least five or six thousand horses in Yugram's land. Half of them are taken out, and there are two or three thousand horses.

Marin decided to eliminate the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, leaving only 2,000 horses. Afterwards, he took out 500 horses for the national postal system and station system to facilitate message transmission.

In addition, between towns and towns, Marin also plans to promote "bus carriages". Considering the income of residents, Marin decided to set the price of bus carriages at 0.2 Finny. Passengers can take out one Finny, go to the bus company to exchange for 5 bus tickets. Then, each time they take a horse carriage, use one. Of course, within the town or in the city, one ticket will be sent to the end. If you leave the town, one ticket will be added to each street sign (5 kilometers).

This price is quite expensive. Because later generations earn more than 100 yuan a day, but only one or two yuan on the bus is less than one-fifty-tenth of the income.

However, that was the situation in later generations. In addition to the significant increase in people's income and low transportation costs, it is also one of the important reasons. After all, the cost of using horse carriages for transportation is actually higher. First of all, the cost of raising horses is higher; and, the number of people carrying carriages is also limited, and the cost cannot be reduced.

You know, in the Victorian era, the price of a carriage taxi was as high as 1 shilling per mile, which was extremely expensive. However, considering that it was a bus, if it was a crowded, it could carry five or six people at a time. If it was a few more trips a day, the cost would definitely be recovered, and there would be a lot of surplus.

Not only that, considering that after using fertilizer, the food price in East Friesland will definitely drop. At that time, the cost of raising horses will be greatly reduced, so it is even more impossible to lose money. However, if you say you make money, you won’t make much money. The most important thing is to consider making money to facilitate the people.

Moreover, Marin also considered picking out some bad horses, crossing them with donkeys, and raising mules in large quantities. Mules eat less than horses, but their strength and endurance are better, making them more suitable for pulling carts.

In the future, Marin decided to replace buses with mule carts. Those bad horses were specially used for crossing with donkeys to cultivate mules. Then, the mules were put into the bus business or sold to the people for use.

Mules eat less, they are not prone to illness, and are much easier to serve than horses. It can be said that mules are the most cost-effective transportation force in the age of animal power. However, the success rate of mules cultivation is low, and even if the horse and donkey are matched together, they may not be able to be born. Therefore, Malin decided to set up a large-scale cultivation center to specialize in cultivating civilian mules.

According to Marin's plan, any horses that were eliminated and not suitable for matching breeds were used to breed donkeys, and many mules were born for civilian use.

Those excellent horses are used for war horses or specifically for breeding. In this way, the breed of horses has been improved. However, those eliminated horses have not lost their value. After all, they still have the responsibility to give birth to mules.

However, when Marlin was bribed with mules that were obviously not the same race, he felt guilty and always felt very disharmonious... They were just not excellent enough, but Marlin forced them to do that with the alien species, which felt too bad...

However, Marin planned to replace his own horse-drawn horse with a cow, and he also needed enough cows for him to buy. As for German locals, it was not a simple matter for Marin to buy two or three thousand bosses.

However, this problem is actually not a big problem. Because although large groups of cattle in Western Europe are difficult to buy, they can be bought in Eastern Europe...

Eastern Europe has vast grasslands and very developed animal husbandry. Countries like Poland and Lithuania have to pass through land every year from Silesia and export about 50,000 cattle to Germany and Italy (see the "Polish and Lithuanian Federation" in the encyclopedia for details).

Some of these cattle were bought as plowing oxen, and some were directly bought by the Germans and killed to eat beef...

Poland exports so many cattle every year, and Marin is obviously very jealous. Europeans do not know how to use nose rings, so some of them cannot control the often stubborn cattle, but Marin can deal with these stubborn cattle... As long as they are not crazy cows or particularly aggressive bulls, they can completely tame them with a nose ring.

Moreover, there are 5,000 cows. As long as Marin chooses in advance, she can choose the right ox.

In fact, when these cattle herds were first transported from Poland to Germany, they would be selected by people in Silesia to choose suitable ones for plowing oxes. However, the Europeans of this era, the standard for plowing oxes was not strong, but gentle. Cows with big tempers were not suitable for plowing oxes in Europe of this era, even if they were a little larger, because Europeans would not use nose rings.

For Marin, it is completely different. When he chooses oxen, he can choose according to the standards of strongness, rather than being gentle and tame. Because oxen with a slightly bigger temper can be controlled with a nose ring. Poles will not sell those oxen with too bad temper. Because oxen with too big temper is inconvenient to catch up, and there is no way to drive long distances from far away Poland. Poles usually slaughter the cows with too big temper and sell them in the form of beef. Cows that can be driven for thousands of miles can be subdued even if they have a little temper. Therefore, Marin can be confident and boldly selected the most robust cows as oxen.

However, this year, Marin did not have time to buy Polish cattle. Because Poles usually sell cattle after autumn harvest. At this time, after the feeding of fat grass in spring, summer and early autumn, the cattle are fat. Just so it is difficult to supply overwintering feed. Therefore, Poles generally choose to drive cattle to Germany and Italy in October.

At this time, it happened that the people in the agricultural area had just harvested food and had a lot of money in their hands. Just then, when they saw the big herd of cattle driven by the Poles came, they bought one. The civilians bought cattle to be plowing oxen, and the nobles bought cattle, and they killed them and ate beef directly...
