Chen Yue was also anxious, but without the iron plow, he couldn't start. He didn't know how many acres of land he could plow every day. Even if it was faster than the old-fashioned plow, it wouldn't be faster at the beginning. No one would know how much of the land he could use, including Chen Yue, who had only seen it when he was a child in his previous life, but had never used it in the fields.
"There is no iron yet." Chen Yue was not Yinman, "waiting for Mr. Zhang to send someone to create the model."
Wei Xiang was secretly happy. He thought the Zhang family had already obtained the new iron model of the plow, but he had not yet obtained it. If he didn't take the iron model of the plow, he would be sorry for coming here specially.
You should know that the emperor of a county cannot just go to the homes of rulers or farmers, unless it is a powerful family. He will take away the salt, sugar and water. The current effect is not obvious, because it is already autumn and the results can only be tested next year.
But the new plow is different, and it will be effective immediately. Although it is impossible to know its effect at present, Wei Xiang also came to the prefectures and counties. He was a person who had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. After carefully looking at the new farm tools, he thought about it and knew that it was similar to what Chen Yue said.
This can save labor for a cattle, and the number of land plows in the Han Dynasty will inevitably increase by 50% or more per year. Farmers who can support a cattle used to take on two or three families to jointly bear the two cows. In the future, one family will raise one. When the soil is plowed, they will not change to farm. Similarly, five or six or seven or eight families will raise two or three families in the future.
I heard that there is a method of standing cows, which can easily raise a cow for a child. When he was in Datianzhuang, Wei Xiang saw that the Chen family had two or three children herding cattle, and there were so many four. He dared not imagine that he would take an adult to put a cow.
"Since the Zhang family doesn't like it, you will hand over this model to me in Chiyang County. In three or five days, I will send you a new iron. I want to watch you farm on the spot." Wei Xiang made the final decision.
"This requires steelmaking." Chen Yue was a little unwilling, after all, he agreed to the Zhang family before.
"Okay." Wei Xiang turned around and said to the clerk he brought, "Remember, the new iron needs to be made of steel." Then he asked Chen Yue, "I have to say anything else to ask."
Chen Yue said unbearably: "There is only one requirement. The iron must be hard and cannot be soft, otherwise it will deform after a while of farming and will not achieve the tillage effect."
"Okay, there's no problem with this."
Chen Yue also wanted to struggle: "County Master, who will make the iron first? I promised Mr. Peng Zulangjun of Mr. Zhang's family that this matter..."
After hearing this, Wei Xiang sneered and said, "This matter is settled like this. No need to say anything. When the Zhang family comes to find you, you ask them to come to me."
As long as Chi Yangling dares to recognize him, Chen Yue will not be afraid. What he is afraid of is those who both have benefits and are not responsible. He is now a little ant, and anyone can beat him up.
"By the way, from now on, as long as you pay all the taxes you should pay, I will not care what you plant in your land." Wei Xiang felt that the things you should do were almost done, so he prepared to get up and leave, "Okay, I'm going to go back to the county government."
"County Master, wait," Chen Yue said hurriedly, "May I ask, can there be all kinds of seeds brought back by Bo Wanghou from the Western Regions in Chiyang County?"
In ancient times, the county towns were not as commerce or industrial as they are now, but had large areas of farmland. For example, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the grassland people besieged Chongqing Diaoyu City for more than ten years and could not capture it. In addition to the desperate efforts of the defenders, they also had land in the city, so they could grow grain.
Wei Xiang stood up and looked at Chen Yue, then thought for a while and said, "There is no Chi Yang. But I heard that there are many in Shanglinyuan, especially in Du County. You can ask someone from the Zhang family to help you find a way."
Wei Xiang didn't know which grains Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions to plant, but he only knew that a lot of them were planted in Shanglinyuan.
Finally, before Wei Xiang left, Chen Yue knew the name of the magistrate of Chiyang County, and Wei Xiang also knew the meaning of the county magistrate, which is the supreme ruler of a county.
Wei Xiang left with satisfaction and agreed to the name of Datianzhuang.
It used to be named privately, but now it has been recognized by the government and has been recorded.
Two days after Wei Xiang left, Liu Bingyi finally came with the Zhang family.
When Chen Yue talked about the model of making iron and was taken away by the Chiyang County Magistrate, a servant from the Zhang family was preparing to recruit people to find out clearly with the Chiyang County Magistrate, but when they heard that the Chiyang County Magistrate was called Wei Xiang, they all stopped.
Chen Yue and Liu Bingyi thought there was a lot of fun to watch, so when they asked the Zhang family's servant why they didn't take people there, the Zhang family's servant gritted their teeth and didn't say a word.
Although Tiehua was taken first by Chiyang County Magistrate, Chen Yue still kept the cart, so it would be better to hand it over to the Zhang family.
When the Zhang family heard that carts could sow half a hectares of land in a day, they didn't believe it.
Chen Yue didn't care whether they believed it or not. He took out a knife and cut out the cart model. He asked Liu Bingyi to write the manufacturing method and handed it over to the Zhang family servants, asking him to send it back to the construction quickly.
The car looks simple, but under the current situation, if there is no explanation, it will definitely be unbearable to use.
The servants of the Zhang family left, and Liu Bingye stayed. He heard that the new iron would be delivered in two or three days at most, and insisted on judging the effectiveness of the cultivated land.
During the exchange, Chen Yue learned that after Liu Bingyi and the others returned, they went to Du County for a few days and fought two more chickens before they came back.
According to Liu Bingyi, Wang Fengguang scrutinized Chen Yue's method to practice cockfighting, the effect is very obvious, because the recent battles are all new cockfighting training that were trained before, and the winning rate has increased by 30% compared to before. After the subsequent new chicken training is better, the effect will definitely be better.
Of course, Wang Fengguang was very happy and asked Liu Bingyi to bring Chen Yue salt, sugar, meat and other daily necessities.
Since Liu Bingyi stayed, Chen Yue did not let him go. Of course, he just learned to write. Chen Yue was like a teapot containing dumplings, and he couldn't pour out the food in his stomach.
He can say anything, and Zhihu can also say a few words, and can understand what others say. Even if someone writes an article of hundreds of words in front of him, he can even explain it 70% without guessing it. But if he asks him to write it, he will be embarrassed. Now he can write about twenty words, 90% of them were taught by Liu Bingyi, and the other was learned in his previous life, because that one has not changed much after two thousand years, which is the traditional way of writing some characters in later generations.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It’s almost time to learn it at the beginning. In three days, Chen Yue learned to write more than 30 words. Just when he was about to break through the total of 100, Wei Xiang came.
"Are you writing on the ground?" When Wei Xiang came, he did not report it and went straight to the Chen family's yard. He found that Chen Yue and two were crawling on the ground to write. He shook his head and said, "Why don't you use bamboo slips to write? The difference between what is written in the soil and the bamboo slips is very different."
Another person who doesn’t eat meat minced meat, Chen Yue secretly commented on Wei Xiang in his heart. The bamboo slips seem simple, but they are time-consuming and laborious to make. He doesn’t have time to do this now. Writing on the soil is both simple and economical.
However, Chen Yue did not answer his words, but only introduced Liu Bingyi to him.
"But the emperor's great-grandson?" Wei Xiang was a little excited.
Chen Yue and the others nodded.
Wei Xiang quickly stepped forward, and his relatives took away the soil in front of Liu Bingyi.
Liu Bingyi widened his eyes and looked at Wei Xiang who was filming the soil for him. He wanted to get out of the way, but was caught very tightly. He looked back at Chen Yue, and the meaning in his eyes was why?
Chen Yue shook his head.
After slapping the soil, Wei Xiang took Liu Bingyi's hand and turned to Chen Yue and said, "Go and see if the new iron I brought is available. If it is available, just pack it up. Wait until my great-grandson and I come out before trying to cultivate."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Bingyi, who was confused, into Chen Yue's house, and drove Chen Miao and others who were playing in the main hall out.
Whether before or after time traveling, Chen Yue was not very optimistic about the manufacturing level of the ancients, especially after seeing the things made by Huo Wang and his son, this was even more impressive.
Wood and stone are of this level, not to mention iron tools and so on. But when he uncovered the linen on the ox cart brought by Wei Xiang, he changed his mind.
The four plow irons on the ox cart are not the same as the models he made, but are almost exactly the same. After picking up a stone and hitting it, the sound of the raw sound is light and powerful, which is good iron.
He called Zhang He, Zhang Ru and Li Tian. Under the witness of several people, Chen Yue installed the first curved plow and guided the three to install the other three.
The cow also brought one, and the shackles, hemp ropes, etc. were all ready. We just waited for Wei Xiang and Liu Bingyi to come out before going to test.
After a while, Liu Bingyi came out with Wei Xiang.
It was really a companion. Liu Bingyi was in front, and Wei Xiang was half a step behind his left.
Liu Bingyi's face was flushed, as if he had drunk alcohol.
Chen Yue was about to ask Liu Bingyi what was going on, but Wei Xiang took the initiative to stand up and said, "Did you have it installed? Once you have it installed, go to the ground for testing."
And they rushed Chen Yue away without any explanation, and separated Chen Yue and Liu Bingyi intentionally or unintentionally.
Because it was the first time to use a curved plow, the one who was tall in the field became Li Tian. Chen Yue was sure that the cow was not used to it as soon as it was ready, and would find a way to break free from the shackles, so Chen Miao could not let the cow go.
"This is a shackle, put it on the cow's neck." Chen Yue began to explain after he went to the ground, "The shackle cannot be made too big or too small. If it is big, it cannot be put on the cow. If it is too small, it will hurt it. There are also shackles, whether inside or outside, must be polished smoothly, otherwise it will hurt the cow. The new shackles will be dragged and turned over with the shackles."
Chen Yue’s real explanation is not just one person, that is Wei Xiang, so he needs to make it clear.
After the shackle was placed on the cow's neck, the cow kept twisting its body and neck, trying to throw it off. Chen Yue took the reins and "whipped" it for more than ten minutes before the cow calmed down and accepted the reality.
"This stick cannot be too long or too short, just be close to the body of the cow." Chen Yue pointed to a wooden stick between the plow and the cow and said, "Its function is to spread the two ropes. The principle is the same as before, so as to avoid the rope being tightened during tillage and injuring the cow."
