Chapter 0074 first show

 It was still very hot at the end of August. Liu Chan stood on the ground, with a yellow cover on his head, and he still felt extremely uncomfortable. He was a little fat man, easily sweating, and his inner clothes were wet early, but he had to act as if nothing had happened on the surface. Because he was the emperor, he wanted to be a good emperor. He had to hold on to such things that increased appeal.

"Farming is a major event. Your Majesty attaches so much importance to it, it is really a blessing for all people." Someone around him was slapping his old flattery. Although the people who said it were disgusting, Liu Chan obviously liked to hear it, and a smile appeared on his fat face.

"Is that the Baniu Plow that Zhu Yejian made? Let's show it to me." The whole show was to be done as a powerful tool to win people's hearts. In fact, Liu Chan still attached great importance to the Baniu Plow.

Now a palace servant went down to pass on the emperor's oral order.

In the Han Dynasty, the word "I" as an emperor usually only appears in dynasties or edicts, and is also used in some more formal occasions. In daily life, they usually call themselves "I" and "I" are the same as ordinary people. In addition, the word "I" is not only used for the emperor, but also for the empress dowager and queen.

After Wang Xun and Zhao Guang who had already prepared a long time ago received the order, they raised the whip in their hands and shouted. The eight cows shook their tails, dragged the heavy plow, walked forward slowly, and turned the soil in the field deeply.

"Why is this plow so strange?" As a student of Prime Minister Zhuge, Ma Su naturally knew the origin of the eight ox plows. But what he didn't expect was that this physical object was not only strange, but also so big?

Ma Su could no longer suppress his curiosity, lifted up his robe, went down to the ground in person, bent down to look at the mud that was turned up, and thought to himself: This is much deeper than before.

The rules of the monarch and ministers during the Han and Tang dynasties were not as strict as those of the later Ming and Qing dynasties. As long as it was not a formal occasion, the monarch and ministers were still relatively casual. Even in the early Song Dynasty nearly a thousand years later, ministers were still sitting on chairs when discussing affairs in the court. Only when the imperial power reached the peak of the Ming and Qing dynasties could there be a saying that they would kneel down to discuss matters.

Ma Su turned around and found Feng Yong who was standing on the other side of the field from afar, and bowed: "Why are Feng Jianling safe?"

Feng Yong felt that this guy was here to mock him on the spot. There was no way. The kind of caring and mentally retarded look he saw when he looked at him a few months ago still remembers it fresh.

"Thank you for joining the army to care. Feng Zhuang left, long time no see."

"I really missed the truth that day." Ma Su smiled bitterly on his face and shook his head gently, "It was my fault that I almost made the court lose a good material. Feng Jianling once said that farming is the essence of deep cultivation and meticulous cultivation, and I have not yet understood it. A few days ago, I heard that the harvest on Feng Jianling's village was half a stone more than the other farming land. At this time, I think it must be inseparable from the four words "deep cultivation and meticulous cultivation". I hope Feng Jianling will not be relieved if he is rude."

In Fengzhuang, he regards talents as crazy talents, and Ma Su really thinks it is a little black spot that he can't erase in his life. However, after all, he is a student of Zhuge Lao Yao. He can tell the matter without blushing, and even apologizes to Feng Yong in public. This elegance is admirable.

"I dare not, I dare. The boy was indeed a little arrogant that day. He said nothing in front of Ma Zongjun. Anyone would think that it was absurd words. Speaking of this matter was unreasonable." Feng Yong quickly returned the favor.

If Ma Su hadn't known that he would lose Jieting in the future, just from this attitude alone, it would have made people feel good about it.

"The eight ox plows seem to be much deeper than the two oxes carrying the plow. It seems that this is the so-called deep cultivation, right?"

Feng Yong nodded: "Not bad. Deep cultivation can not only cut off the grass roots, but also turn the grass into the ground and become fertilizer for crops, killing two birds with one stone."

"Fertilizer?" Ma Su asked strangely, "What does this mean?"

"People want to eat food and cows want to eat grass. This is all taking away the essence of other things to nourish themselves. That is the food, so why should we seize the essence of the soil to grow? Cutting off the grass roots can prevent the weed from competing with the food for the essence of the earth and turning the grass into the ground. Over time, the weed will transform into the soil and become the essence of the earth and be used for food. This is to kill two birds with one stone."

I couldn't tell the ancients about the photosynthesis of trace elements of microbials, so I had to talk about it casually.

When Ma Su heard this, his eyes were bright and he held his hands, "Farmers and common people all knew that they wanted to remove grass from the fields. They asked them why, but they were confused and confused. Today, when they heard Feng Jianling's words, they suddenly realized. The Book of Changes says: The way of heaven and earth is used by the people every day without knowing it. The ancients really did not deceive me!"

Cultural people really hate it! You can tell anything to the scriptures!

Feng Tubi laughed dryly and didn't respond because he was illiterate like him and didn't know how to continue.

Fortunately, Ma Su did not notice Feng Tubi's embarrassing expression, and looked at the Baniu Li with a little emotion: "I heard about the food in Feng Jianlingzhuang a few days ago, and I had thought in private that if I could listen to Feng Langjun's words that day, I wonder how much more food could the Han Dynasty harvest this autumn? Alas, I am really ashamed!"

Damn, why do I feel that the ancients were always so morally responsible? It shouldn’t be the development of productivity that people’s awareness will continue to improve?

"Where is this simple?" Feng Yong said, "The eight cow plows alone are very difficult to make and are not affordable to ordinary people. Not to mention, eight cows are needed to pull them. How many families in the world can have eight cows? For example, there are only two cows in the government."

Ma Su said meaningfully: "Sometimes it is not easy, but the easiest is."

Feng Yong thought he didn't understand. He thought to himself that according to this, this time, Zhuge Lao Yao was most likely to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly deal with the local natives - if Feng Yong had changed, he would do this. How much grain can he produce if all the places in Hanzhong are cultivated? It is definitely more than enough to supply the Northern Expedition. At least it will be fine to supply it for a year or two. The grain is no longer subject to the aristocratic family. Zhuge Lao Yao would probably let himself go completely, and he was a little scared when he thought about it.

The biggest disadvantage of Baniu Plow is that it is not easy to turn around. It is only suitable for large-scale arable land. As for those small fields, it is naturally the most suitable for curved plows. But in this era, which family of aristocratic families did not have thousands of acres of fields connected together? This Baniu Plow is the most useful for them!

Of course, the nobles present today are poor compared to the Shu family, and most of them do not have that much land in their homes. This may have seemed like a sad story in the past, but now it seems that there is no need to be sad anymore, because there are wastelands in Hanzhong!

Because of the wars in Hanzhong in the early years, large areas of barren fields were abandoned there, which was so heartbreaking! We had to reclaim the land early, and everyone began to feel excited. The emperor is wise! I said earlier that I would reward everyone with the land in Hanzhong. There is no real news yet. I can't be a lie to us, right? No, I have to find a way to remind the emperor.

The ministers who knew that Baniuli had existed, all their hearts began to feel a little upset.
