Chapter 140 Is it like having a baby?
Biting his head, he turned to look at Guo Siben, Fang Jun coughed dryly, pointed to the curved plough in his hand, and said, "Excuse me, Guo Sinong, what is the difference between this plough and the commonly used plough in the past?"
Although I don't know why Fang Jun is so high-profile, Guo Siben is not a corpse vegetarian. He has a lot of skills, and he has no objection to Fang Jun. He said with a smile: "How about letting someone see it himself?"
Just a glance, Guo Siben could see several advantages of this new plow stick, but as Fang Jun said, it is really unclear how good it is, where it is good, and why it is so good.
Fang Jun handed him the plough stick.
Guo Siben took it over, stood the plough stick in front of him, and held the plough shaft in his hand, and his whole body was shocked.
The straight-axle ploughs used in the past had double poles, which were supported by two oxen to maintain balance, which required a long plough pole.But the curved plough in his hand is curved and short. Could it be that this plough is pulled by an ox?
Guo Siben felt that he was trembling. If it was true, it would be an epoch-making invention!
At the moment, he asked excitedly: "This plow is short, can it be pulled by a cow?"
In this era, one of the most important conditions restricting the development of productive forces is the serious shortage of cattle.You can imagine how slow it would be if there were no livestock to pull the plough, and only human ploughing.
Theoretically speaking, it is enough to turn the original two cows with a plow stick into one cow, which is equivalent to doubling the efficiency of farming.
Fang Jun laughed. He had also heard about this Lord Si Nongqing's reputation and admired it very much.In fact, he admires all those who can stick to their jobs and make contributions diligently in their jobs.
There was no embarrassment in his heart, and he explained patiently: "This plough has changed the long straight shaft to a short curved shaft. The length of the old-style plough is usually about nine feet, and the front reaches the shoulder of the ox; this curved plough is only about six feet long. Only after the ox. The plow frame becomes smaller and lighter in weight, easy to rotate, flexible in operation, and saves animal power. In this way, the old-style plough's two ox lift bars are replaced by one ox traction, which saves oxen and improves efficiency. Moreover, Due to its small footprint, this type of plow is especially suitable for farming in paddy fields in the south, and according to a certain point of view, it is more suitable for use in the Jiangdong area."
When he said this, Guo Siben immediately understood and became even more excited.
Guo Siben, who has traveled all over the country, is very clear that due to the limitations of production technology and human resources, there are too many wasteland in the mountains that have not been developed, or have never been cultivated!
If this new type of plough can be promoted, it will be possible to fully develop the wasteland, hilly areas and river valleys in the mountains, and it will almost increase the amount of cultivated land in Datang by [-]% out of thin air!
What is this concept?
Now the registered population of Datang has reached 300 million households and 500 million people, and almost no one died of starvation.If these 300% more land is added, it is equivalent to being able to feed another [-] million people!
What is Shengshi?How is Shengshi assessed?
How to maintain the mighty power of Huanghuang Tang for a long time, and how to take it to a higher level?
The ultimate answer - population!
Whether it is prosperous economy or foreign wars, in this era of cold weapons, population represents almost everything.
As long as there are people, you can be in a position of defeat!
This is the consensus of all, and this is the truth that cannot be broken!
This is the most direct manifestation of a country's comprehensive national strength. Guo Siben knows it, His Majesty Li Er knows it, the eldest grandson Wuji knows it, Fang Xuanling knows it, and all ministers know it.
Anyone can count this account!
So for a while, the hall fell into a strange silence.
Everyone was staring at the Quyuan plow in Guo Siben's hands, thinking: With just such a thing, can it really improve the efficiency of farming by [-], and feed several million more people?
The most excited is His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er's ambition is to be immortal and eternal, but who will accomplish his grand ambitions and hegemony?
Li Jing?
Li Ji?
Qin Qiong?
Cheng Yaojin?
Not at all!
No matter how undefeated the commander is, it is impossible for one person to win a war and destroy a country.
What they rely on are the countless Tang Dynasty soldiers who have given up their lives and forgot to die and are still fighting hard against the swords, spears, swords and halberds!
As long as the Datang Mansion's troops continue to go to the battlefield, then Datang can swept across the Eight Wastelands and reigns supreme!
And the premise of all this is food!
As long as there is enough food, the Tang Dynasty can quickly multiply, and the source of soldiers from generation to generation will be filled continuously.
His Majesty Li Er's handsome face was a little red, but he tried his best to suppress the fiery in his heart, and said lightly, "Is this really the case?"
Guo Siben said excitedly, "That's true, and definitely not only that, Fang Erlang, please ask for advice!"
Fang Jun didn't know why His Majesty Li Er was excited at this time, so he nodded and continued: "...Here is a plow comment. Please take a look at Guo Sinong, because the thickness of this plow comment is gradually decreasing. Pushing the plough bar can make the plough arrow down, so that the plough can penetrate deep into the ground; pulling the plough bar back, so that the plough arrow goes up and ploughs into the ground shallowly, in this way, it can adapt to the different needs of deep ploughing and shallow ploughing. Look at this moldboard. It is round, so it can also be called a plow mirror. It can push the upturned soil aside, which not only reduces the forward resistance, but also overturns the clods to cut off the growth of grass roots..."
All ministers are in a daze, darling!Does it seem to be a little smaller than the previous plow stick? It's just such a thing, and it's so much?
To say that the most exciting and incredible thing is actually Fang Xuanling.
No one knows the character and ability of this second son better than him, and he was worried about it...
Cowardly since childhood, do not think about studies, timid in trouble, never take responsibility!
Later, it got better, but I was no longer cowardly, and I took responsibility, but it went to the other extreme!
If you cause trouble, you are not afraid of big trouble, but if you cause trouble, you are afraid of small one. For any important official and prince, if you get into trouble, it will be a hammer!
Now that Fang Xuanling is still alive, both His Majesty and the ministers don't care about his face, but what about when he dies?
At that time, who still cares about this incense affection?
I am afraid that by that time, this shy jerk will not only be unable to protect himself, but will also affect the entire family!
But now, in front of His Majesty, this boy who speaks freely in front of the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, without any timidity, is really his son?
Thinking about how this son invented a method of making glass out of thin air, which greatly improved his family's economic situation, as well as the great reputation he gained for his act of accepting disaster victims outside Xinfeng City, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel great comfort. .
There is quite a feeling of "having a child is like a love of the house"...
His chest was agitated and full of emotion, and suddenly he heard His Majesty say loudly: "This plow, has it ever been named?"
Fang Xuanling was suddenly shocked, and the secret thought was not good!
