Chapter 6 Sharp Weapons

?ps. Come with today's update and get some votes for "Qidian" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

In Bahe City, Yuwen Wen was standing at the top of the city and looking north. The fertile fields outside the city were refreshing. This was the spoils after defeating the powerful Lu family. Yuwen Wen did not belong to him but distributed them all to the meritorious soldiers.

Owning his own land has been the dream goal of the people since ancient times. Yuwen Wen was not rich enough to not take these land seriously, but he knew which one was more important. He went to Bazhou to serve as the governor, and there were official fields and servants to help farm. Xiyang County is now his fief, so as long as Bazhou is in him, he would not have to worry about not having food.

To defend one's foundation, one must have soldiers. Those who want to join the army are willing to fight for themselves, one must have rewards. Field is the biggest reward of this era. If you kill enemies in the face of battle, you may not be willing to fight for your life, but if you do it for the field, it will be different.

"Mr. Zhou Langjun, if you want your army to guard Bahe City, otherwise I will be in a difficult position." Yuwen Wen said to the people around him. The man was Zhou Faming who led the troops to "assist the boxing" to take Bahe City.

From the time of defeating the Lu clan soldiers on New Year's Eve to taking Bahe City, Zhou Faming and his troops have been stationed in the city to prevent anyone from taking advantage of troubled waters. With them in Yuwen Wen, you can free up your troops to clean up the mess. Besides, the other party's existence can make Chen Jun on the other side of the Yangtze River "calm".

"Envoy Yuwen is polite. If you need to provide assistance in the future, you should help me." Zhou Faming said with a smile. Now that he has been the Lord of Bahe City for more than half a month, he is the unlocked monkey's free and happy life.

Without the second brother's control, without the nagging of his mother, he slept until he woke up naturally every day and practiced arrows or went to the Hulin Army barracks on the other side of the Bashui River to compete. This kind of life was so comfortable for Zhou Faming, just like a teenager without the parental control could do whatever he wanted.

The Lu clan members and their tenants were detained separately. He was the only one who was a life-and-death battle in the city. Of course, in order to set an example, he would not do such a licentious and cruel thing, but it felt really good to hold the power of life-and-death battle.

While the two were talking, Yuwen Shiwu walked up and said that the preparations were already completed. Yuwen Wen led Zhou Faming down the stairs to the outside of the city. There was a large group of people surrounded by a paddy field. They were soldiers of the Hulin Army, many of whom had already divided the fields outside Bahe City and were waiting to do a big fight. However, today's theme was a live demonstration. Yang Ji demonstrated the "weapon".

"Master Yang Zhuang is here!" someone shouted, and the crowd separated and gave way to both sides. Then a ox cart slowly drove over and Bazhou Sima Yang Ji followed the cart. Although Yang Ji was already a state official, many soldiers of the Hulin Army were still used to calling him "Master Yang Zhuang".

When the ox cart came to the edge of the field, people looked at the carriage. Today, Yuwen Tongjun said that he would show a few sharp weapons to let everyone open their eyes, so everyone wanted to find out the truth, but the carriage was covered with cloth and could not see what was placed inside. The answer was soon revealed: it was a plow for plowing fields, a plow that had never been seen before, and its shaft was curved.

"This plow is called a curved plow," said Yang Ji. He asked several soldiers to carry the plow off the car and hold it on the ground and explain the structure to the people around him.

"The structure of this plow is as follows. This is the plowshare, plow wall, plow bottom... Unlike the straight plows used in daily life, this plow is first of all the curved shafts, and then there are plow reviews and plow construction..."

Yang Ji was very clear and the soldiers watching were also fascinating. Most of them were poor families who came from all kinds of farm work, especially farming, so Yang Ji could understand the structure when explaining it. However, they used straight-rod plows to plow the fields, and they had never seen anyone use curved plows, and the curved plow in front of them seemed to be more complicated than the commonly used plows.

Of course, Yuwen Wen had seen Quyuan Plough, but it was more than a thousand years later. In history, Quyuan Plough appeared in the Tang Dynasty a hundred years later, so it is the only one now. Although he never went to the fields to plow the fields, he saw a lot on TV and was quite impressed by this powerful tool to promote agricultural development. He used this familiar and unfamiliar "high-tech" tool to create this familiar and unfamiliar "high-tech" tool.

Yang Ji had land in his family in the late Ming Dynasty, so he was familiar with farm work. This curved plow was built by him himself. Yu Wen Wen knew the structure, but it was a bit difficult for him to explain and demonstrate, so Yang Ji was still in charge.

Just talking but not practicing fake style. The soldiers could understand Yang Ji's introduction to the structure of the Quyuan Plough, but couldn't figure out why the Yuan Qu became a weapon. In order to be more convincing, Yang Ji went to the field to demonstrate.

The demonstration started with the skillful demonstration of putting the curved plow behind the cow. Yang Ji ploughed the fields so he started to operate. After walking around, the soldiers watching probably had a clue, but were still confused. Lai Hu'er, who was on the side, saw the clues.

The plowshare can be adjusted, so it can be plowed deeply or shallowly when plowing the land, which means it can keep the depth of the cultivated land the same, which is convenient for careful tillage. Although he did not personally support the plow, he could see that the plowing ox pulls the plow and pushes it when plowing the land. The plow is also very flexible and can be called a powerful tool.

Lai Hu'er died of both his parents since childhood. His aunt raised him. He often went to the field to do farm work in the clan, so he was just reading books, so he didn't see the difference like other soldiers, but he couldn't summarize it.

Yang Ji knew that he needed someone to try it himself to truly understand the essence of it. He asked the soldiers to take turns to try it. Everyone came from farming and naturally signed up enthusiastically. Those who went down to farming quickly felt the benefits of the curved plow, and the onlookers gradually saw the trick.

"Eunuch, this is really a powerful weapon." Zhou Faming said sincerely. He doesn't have to do farm work, but a smart person can see the beauty of this curved plow: it is easy to plow the fields better and shorter.

Each acre of land can save some time and effort, so that more fields can be plowed in a day. The more fields the more effective the curved plow will be. Not to mention that it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people if it is used for home use.

"This spring plowing in Libazhou has started to be promoted this year. The official has created several pairs to send to Huangzhou, Anzhou, and Xiangzhou. If Zhou Langjun doesn't dislike him, he will take one pair back to Brother Ling, so that Brother Ling can also promote it in Hengzhou."

"Thank you, the envoy!" Zhou Faming gave a sincere tribute, no matter whether it is enemy or north or south. The promotion of this curved plow is beneficial to the people of the world.

Seeing that everyone had a personal understanding of the beauty of the curved plow, Yuwen Wen clapped his hands to move to the next part. Of course, the demonstration was Yang Ji because he was really good at talking about farm work on paper or not showing his timidity.

Yang Ji asked the soldiers to take a basket from the car, which was covered with green weeds. He put the basket on the ground and began to explain: "Everyone has planted paddy fields. Now I am talking about transplanting rice. First, I must raise the seedlings in the seedlings in the seedlings until the seedlings are completed and then plant them in the paddy fields. This is transplanting rice..."

Rice transplanting is an agronomical method for farming in later generations, but it has not appeared in this era. At this time, farming is a live streaming method, which means directly sowing rice into the paddy fields, so the soldiers listened to Yang Ji's explanations like listening to the heavenly book.

Farming from their grandfathers means sowing seeds directly into the field. Now some people suddenly say that this effect is not good enough to increase their income by "planting rice seeds" and it is really incredible. It is like the feeling of the collapse of the world when his mother suddenly pointed at Uncle Wang next door earnestly and said, "He is your father."

After Yang Ji spoke it, no one took it and said that no one took it. Everyone stared at him. No one had read a book, but it did not mean that they were stupid. Many people just listened to the explanation and felt something was wrong:

I just need to sow the seedlings according to the original method, but if I plant the seedlings... I won’t talk about whether the harvest will increase if I just bent down, I’m afraid I can’t plant a few acres of land in a day. Could it be that Master Yang Zhuang wants to spend time with me?

You also have to raise the seedlings first, then pull them up and then put them in the field. You have to bend down and you don’t know if your waist will break after you’ve been inserted for a day. Could it be that you have different ways to train your waist? If you have to do this, you may not even plant your waist if you break it!

Zhou Faming looked at Yuwen Wen in surprise. He had never planted the field but it did not prevent his thinking from diverting: what Yang Sima said is the difference between planting rice seedlings and taking off his pants and farting. He just wanted to hear what Yuwen Wen said.

Yuwen Wen did not say anything but directly swiped the 'signature': "Don't have doubts, trust the government... I believe in Yang Sima, and I decided to promote this method in the official fields. I hope everyone can use it with confidence when farming!"

When the rice transplanting method appeared, it is not yet verified, but it was popularized in the late Tang Dynasty. The rice transplanting method is easier to weed and fertilize than the live streaming method, preventing lodging and promoting tillering to increase yield, and double-season harvests can be achieved through crop reseeding.

Yuwen Wen's signature is integrity and the soldiers of the Hulin Army believed it. Although they still felt that the rice transplanting method Yang Ji said was a bit inexplicable, they all nodded in the same way. The rice transplanting method was a foregone conclusion in the fields of the Hulin Army soldiers.

"Everyone's concerns have been considered, so what we will demonstrate next is a powerful tool to avoid the burying of the waist of transplanting rice, the rice horse!"

Yang Ji asked someone to move something from the car. The thing was made of wood and looked like a curved boat that only accommodates a single person. After the boat was carried off the field, Yang Ji took the basket of weeds that replaced the seedlings and straddled it.

He used his feet as oars to make the boat slide in the fields, and demonstrated the transplanting of rice while sliding. The soldiers could see clearly that Yang Ji did not have to bend his waist when he planted rice with this boat.

Yuwen Wen's timely guest explanation, so the narration rang: "The rooster crow in the morning has not ended yet, Sima Yang Ji has already started a day of work. He decided to plant rice seedlings and carry the seedlings to the field with the seedlings..."

"The rice transplanting method promoted by Xiyang City is a gift from God, and the rice transplanting horse is a powerful tool among agricultural tools..."

"The seedlings that have been cultivated for one month have been sprouted fully. The paddy fields plowed by the curved plow and carefully prepared fertilizers are used. This carefully cared for paddy fields combined with the technique of spanning thousands of years makes the seedlings stand straight in the fields and look even stronger..."

"Pick up a seedling plant from Wolf... from the basket, planted it carefully into the field, slide your feet and moved forward on the horse, took out the seedlings and planted it again. Such a simple and boring action has become more familiar after years of hard work."

Yuwen Wen's strange commentary combined with Yang Ji's skillful actions made the soldiers stunned. The previous questions disappeared without a trace, and everyone looked at the neat rows of "seedlings" in the fields and seemed to see the yellow rice ears during the autumn harvest.

It seemed that I was filling the barn with joy. In the evening, smoke rose from every household, pushed the door into the house, and bowls of fragrant rice were placed on the desk, and next to them were parents, family and children.

As soon as Yang Ji finished the demonstration, some soldiers couldn't wait to experience it. Yang Ji looked at the expectant faces and smiled with relief. Before, he asked to build a curved plow and proposed the transplanting method and the seedling horses to promote it in a small scale this year, but he didn't expect that the other party's support was very strong.

"I want my brother to draw people from the state to learn. I wonder if it is convenient?" Zhou Faming asked anxiously. He had already understood the beauty of rice transplanting. Now it is the first of all year. It is to promote the promotion and promotion in Hengzhou unless it is natural disasters. Then the harvest this year will definitely increase significantly.

"Welcome, but the implementation of rice transplanting methods must be cautious. After all, there are not many people who master this method. If the operation is not properly done, it will affect the harvest of that year. The official decided to conduct it in the official field first to cultivate skilled people, and to make demonstrations and to prevent improper operation, which will lead to large-scale failures in harvests."

Zhou Faming nodded when he heard this. He agreed with Yuwen Wen's cautious attitude. The Quyuan Plough must be promoted without a doubt. The rice transplanting method must be transitioned first. He decided to go back and persuade his brother to try the rice transplanting method in the official fields. When the autumn harvest comes, the people will naturally emulate it. Then there will be no great resistance to the promotion in the next year.

Seeing the soldiers experiencing the passionate experience of the curved plows and the seedlings planting of the seedlings, Yu Wenwen was extremely excited. The two things he would promote this spring are to eliminate snails to prevent schistosomiasis, and the other is to promote new agricultural tools and new agronomics.

The popularization and promotion of rice transplanting methods and curved plows were all used since the Tang Dynasty to later generations. The rice and horses were widely used in the Northern Song Dynasty. This is the unstoppable wheel of history. If anyone is dead, then the "little butterfly" Yuwen Wen came to finish the fight, so he was determined to promote it.

Relevant work has been carried out, batches of curved plows are being built, and the production of seedlings and horses is also in progress. The land development degree and population of Bazhou, together with the prefectures in Jiangbei, are not as good as those of the Central Plains and the Three Wu areas in Jiangnan, so they can only undergo "technical transformation" to increase production.

Without fertilizers and high-yield rice seeds, what Yuwen Wen could do is to build water conservancy and improve agricultural tools, increase agronomic production, and with more grain, you can raise more soldiers. With more soldiers, you can go out to grab grain, land, and women. With more land and grain, you will gather more people.

If the soldiers who were sent to his command could be divided into fields and slaves according to their merits, they would not hesitate to play with their lives. This is a virtuous cycle, but if they were not done well, it would become a vicious cycle, so they should prepare for the future.

Unlike the hidden dangers of the spread of artillery technology, Yu Wenwen doesn't mind the promotion of the crooked plow, the transplanting method, and the promotion of the seedling horses will spread to all places. Perhaps the grain harvest of various forces will increase greatly, but he doesn't care.

Looking around the paddy fields, he thought to himself: There are so many fields in the world, if there are more than three or five dou per acre of land, then fewer people will starve to death, right?
