Chapter 365 The role of the curved plough
Three days later, all five important officials of Zhao State were summoned to the palace of Zhao State.
What surprised the ministers was that this time the location was not in the Longtai main hall of Zhao State, but in the imperial garden of the palace city.
Seeing that Zhao Dan had not arrived yet, Lian Po couldn't help but poke Yu Xin beside him and said to Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, this time the king will not have to come out again with some 'Ace troops', right?"
Yu Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. After a while, he said, "General, how could Yu Xin guess the thoughts of this king be so clear? Just wait with peace of mind."
That's it, but Yu Xin was actually somewhat looking forward to it.
After all, not long ago, Yu Xin just learned that the stirrup, saddle, horseshoe, and other sets of horse harnesses that have been popular in the entire Chinese cavalry industry recently were made by Zhao Dan.
Then a while ago, Zhao Dan showed Yu Xin and others such a huge killing weapon, such as a heavy armored cavalry, so this time Yu Xin was quite looking forward to what Zhao Dan was about to take out.
Yu Xin thought that what Zhao Dan wanted to show this time was probably about something related to cavalry.
What exactly is it? Could it be some immediate ranged attack weapons?
Just as Yu Xin looked expectant, a spring breeze suddenly blew, and then a stinking smell floated into Yu Xin's nose.
Yu Xin widened his eyes in surprise, almost thinking that he had smelled the wrong one.
But when Yu Xin turned around, he found that several ministers of Zhao around him frowned, and it was obvious that they all smelled the smell.
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but speak, "Why does this palace garden have such a strong smell of feces?"
No one answered Zhao Sheng's question, because everyone else was confused.
Has this garden been turned into a public toilet?
It's impossible.
And even if it really turns into a public toilet, I should clean it up even though I know that a king is coming today?
Just when several important officials of Zhao State who were unknown were upset by the inconspicuous situation, Zhao Dan finally appeared.
Zhao Dan smiled and waved to several ministers: "You are here with me."
A moment later, several important officials of the Zhao State followed Zhao Dan to a land not far away.
There are four boundary monuments on this land, which read: "The land owner Zhao Wangdan, the land area is one acre."
The ministers of Zhao State were a little stunned at this moment.
Not only that, in this field, there is also a strong green cow, and a strange-looking utensil is placed on the cow.
After a while, Yu Xin was the first to come back to his senses and spoke to Zhao Dan: "Master, isn't you going to cultivate the land?"
"That's right!" Zhao Dan nodded, then smiled and said to the important officials of Zhao State in front of him: "I would like to ask the Qing family, have you ever experienced going to the land to plow the fields?"
Several important officials of Zhao State looked at me and I looked at you, and then shook their heads at the same time.
What a joke? Even Yu Xin and Lian Po, who are the lowest-born, are all members of the scholarly class. Hao Lai is also a noble person. How could he go to the field to do such a mud-legged job?
As for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, who were born as young masters and had a high status and extremely noble status, let alone.
Zhao Dan smiled when he heard this: "I know this is the answer, but it's okay. Today I have found several old peasants, all of whom are innocent from Zhao. Several Qing families are just watching and witnessing it."
A moment later, several old farmers came here under the leadership of the palace guards. The leader was the old man who had a conversation with Zhao Dan that day.
The old man didn't dare to recognize each other when he saw Zhao Dan. After knowing that Zhao Dan smiled and spoke, he was convinced that the one who was talking to him that day was the king of his own Zhao State. He was shocked on the spot. After a long time, he stood up tremblingly under Zhao Dan's consolation.
After everyone returned to normal, Zhao Dan coughed and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't keep you from keeping me. The reason why I summoned my family and my father here today is mainly to witness this Quyuan Plough presented to me by the descendants of the Gongshu clan."
"Curve Plow?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and then they turned their eyes to the things made up of the "weird" objects that were tied to the big green bull. They knew that the plow was not like a plow, which should be the so-called buckling plow.
But the next moment, there were many doubts in the eyes of everyone looking at Qu Yuanli.
Can this thing you've never seen before work?
Zhao Dan smiled, but without explaining, and said directly to the old farmers in front of him: "Brothers, please trouble you to operate this curved plow and demonstrate it to me and your family."
The old farmers naturally had no reason to refuse and soon came to the field.
With Zhao Dan's patient explanation, the old farmer who had talked to Zhao Dan held the plow and began to drive the big green ox to plow the land.
This big green cow took Zhao Dan back and forth to the other end of the plowing field during spring plowing. He was very docile and immediately pulled the plow into the field as soon as he heard the shouting.
When the big green cow walked up, several old farmers immediately made a shocking sound.
Under Zhao Dan's command, the old farmer who was holding the plowing arrows down, and the plowshare was deeply pierced into this land that had never been cultivated. Large pieces of soil were constantly turned up as the plow progressed, and then chopped by the plow wall and turned aside.
The important officials of Zhao State who were standing by and watching were nothing, but the old peasants were obviously completely shocked. They almost pounced on the ground, picked up the pieces of soil chopped by the curved plow, and carefully observed it as if they had found a treasure.
"This curved plow can actually turn the ground so thoroughly!"
"This Quaro plow can actually break the soil so much. My daily work is not as good as this Quaro plow for a moment!"
Just as these old farmers were amazed, the old farmer who was holding the plow also smiled and said, "You don't know that the sharp weapon that the plough of this curved plow costs is far less than the effort I usually spend on using a plow! In my opinion, if I had this plow, I could farm from sunrise to sunset in one breath!"
"What?" Several old farmers were even more shocked when they heard this, and rushed forward to operate.
Finally, they were all convinced.
In less than a quarter of an hour, this acre of land was completely plowed back and forth by the big green cow pulling the curved plow back and forth.
Zhao Dan smiled and asked the old farmers, "Brothers, what do you think of this curved plow?"
Several old farmers were already so excited that their faces flushed, and they said to Zhao Dan: "King, this thing must be a magical weapon given to the King by God Tai Yi!"
"King, if you have this curved plow in your hand, it will definitely be of great help to farmers to cultivate the land!"
"King, if there is such a curved plow, the time for plowing land will not only be greatly reduced, but I will be able to plow five hundred acres of land alone!"
Several old farmers praised the bellow plow to the sky with one word.
Zhao Dan turned his head and looked at the important officials of Zhao State beside him, and smiled and said, "What do you think of this curved plow?"
At this point, even the important officials of Zhao State should react even if they were fools.
That's right, these ministers have never been to the fields, and they don't even have the experience of watching others cultivate land, but the ministers don't understand, the old farmers understand.
As long as you look at the excited appearances of these old farmers, is this plow useful? Is it easy to use? Who hasn't figured out yet?
Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King. The bell plow created by Gongshu Ban is a powerful tool for our country's farming in Zhao!"
Li Bo also said: "King, from the perspective of the minister, this curved plow should be promoted nationwide so that the people of Zhao can use this item as soon as possible!"
Speaking of farming skills, these important ministers of Zhao State are not opponents of any old farmers, but in terms of vision, the old farmers are not as good as any minister of Zhao State present.
"Not bad!" Zhao Dan smiled with a spring breeze on his face, "This Quyuan Plow is indeed a magical artifact given to me by God, and it must be vigorously promoted! But what I want to tell you is that I have more than this good things I have obtained. My husbands, come with me."
