After the county magistrate left, Li Er sighed helplessly.
Although I was cheated, and I was cheated so badly.
Maybe it's the blessings and misfortunes that go hand in hand. The luckiest thing for me was that I went to Zhaojiazhuang and met the wise brother Xiandi.
It can be said that it is to add a touch of joy to one's own pain.
"Come here, call the officials from the Ministry of Industry to come see me!"
"It's Your Majesty."
Officials from the Ministry of Works arrived at the palace and met with His Majesty.
"I have met His Majesty!"
"Let me ask you, how is the issue of the new plow stick handled?"
"Your Majesty, since your Majesty arranged for the new plow sticks to come over, we have arranged for craftsmen to make many of them.
It has been sent to surrounding states and counties, and officials in each state and county must have received orders to build it.
This spring, everyone can use it."
This new type of plow is very convenient for plowing. If people use it this year, they can plow more land. This autumn will definitely be a good harvest year.
"Well, I will leave it to you to handle the matter of the plow stick.
We must allow the people around Chang'an City to use it this year."
"It's Your Majesty."
The official from the Ministry of Industry left the Tai Chi Hall. Li Er looked up at Changsun Wuji and waved, telling him to go back first. If he had anything to do, he would send someone to call him.
"Your Majesty, I will retire."
A few days passed quietly.
During the next period of time, it was extremely peaceful inside and outside Chang'an City. Spring felt like it was getting closer and closer, and it wouldn't be long before a new round of farming would begin.
Jingle, jingle, jingle.
Zhaojiazhuang Blacksmith Shop.
This winter, the list of blacksmith shops has skyrocketed, and everyone in the blacksmith shop has never been idle, working non-stop all the time.
However, everyone's hard work was rewarded, and everyone received a reward from Zhao Mu.
Spring plowing and sowing will begin soon, and this seeder must not be delayed.
...
"experiment."
The cattle were brought over, the seeder was placed behind the cattle, and wheat was placed in the box of the seeder.
As the whip was raised, the cattle moved forward slowly. As the cattle moved forward, they pulled the seeder and began to move forward.
The four iron wheels began to rotate, pushing the gears inside. The wheat seeds in the box fell to the ground and were directly buried by the soil.
After walking in two large circles, everyone took a look at the land where they had been sown, and saw that the wheat seeds were hidden in it.
Both the depth and the number of seeds are 10 points in place.
Moreover, the depth of burial and the number of wheat seeds can be controlled. Everyone cheered, it was a success, it was a success.
He immediately reported the news to his young master.
study.
"Master, master, good news, good news, the seeder you asked us to build has been successful.
We have just conducted experiments ourselves, and the depth of sowing, the speed of sowing, and the seeds sown are all exactly the same."
"Succeeded? OK, take me to see it."
"Ah, dear brother,
What's wrong, what happened? What planter? What succeeded again?
Alas alas, I say, dear brother, dear brother, wait for me, wait for me!"
In an open space, Li Er saw a strange-shaped iron lump being pulled behind the cattle.
The four iron wheels are not round like carriage wheels. There are iron bars in one circle of the wheels, which can go deep into the ground.
A farmer poured wheat into a box, and Li Er stepped forward to take a look.
"Come on, let's go!"
When we started farming, the four wheels turned, which didn’t look like anything strange.
Zhao Mu stepped forward, bent down and rummaged inside carefully, and saw the seeds that had fallen on the ground.
He took another step forward and continued walking, checking about a distance of more than 10 meters, with a smile on his face.
Yes, they did succeed.
Datang's first seeder was finally developed by itself.
As for the seeder, I had wanted to develop it a long time ago, but because my village was not particularly large at that time and the population was not as large as it is now, I did not invent it.
Now more than 1,000 acres of land have been reclaimed. Farming with just this few manpower is still a bit time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, developing science and technology has become the first element.
Wait until this year to arrange several thousand acres of land, and I will be a proper big landowner.
"Master, with the more than 1,000 acres of land newly reclaimed by this seeder, our sowing speed is at least five times that of manual sowing."
The housekeeper sighed secretly from the side.
"Well, 5 times is still possible, but this seeder also has its own shortcomings.
Normally, only one person is needed to sow seeds, but he must have a plowing ox, and someone needs to be held in front of him to prevent the ox from going astray.
Although the investment cost is also high, compared with manual seeding, the efficiency has been greatly improved."
While Zhao Mu was talking to the housekeeper, the group of people who went to sow the seeds arrived at Zhao Mu's side again and again.
"Master!"
"Not bad, not bad, I am very satisfied with this seeder.
Pass my order, and when you order people to build it, you must remember that according to what I said, you must have an open mind.
For example, if three of the same planters are arranged in a row, with two cattle in front.
Doesn't this mean that one round trip is three times that of a seeder?"
Everyone nodded secretly after hearing this.
Thinking of what happened before, didn't the new plow stick they developed earlier have three pieces in one?
Through this operation, the plowing efficiency is increased to three times or more than that of one plow stick at a time.
If they use this method to connect three seeders together and operate them like this, it will be too powerful.
When Li Er heard Zhao Mu's idea, he also fantasized in his mind.
If there were such a seeder operating throughout Datang, how fast would it be possible to sow the millions of acres of fertile land?
This is simply another artifact. I came here today just to meet him in Zhaojiazhuang, take a stroll, and relax.
Who would have known that I was really right when I came today and discovered such a good thing.
As he said that, he smiled and stepped forward to look at Zhao Mu.
"Brother Xian, after hearing what you say, I actually have an immature idea in my heart."
"Well, what do you think?"
Zhao Mu raised his head, looked at Li Er who was looking at the seeder attentively, and asked.
"Brother Xian, I'm thinking, since you said these three machines can be put together, if there are 5 machines, can they also be put together?
Will the efficiency be twice that of three machines?
What if there are 50 machines? If they are connected together, will the speed be faster than three machines?
What if 500 units are connected together?”
Speaking of five hundred machines, Li Er began to fantasize in his mind.
If 500 machines are connected together, the front hundreds of cattle will work simultaneously.
How much land does it take to sow in one round trip?
