In fact, I was on the boat last night when I fished this thing out of the river.
Cao Ang had already looked through the contents.
But now that he was placing the box in front of him again, he still felt a little excited.
Gein is really important.
Opening the lid, what lay inside the box was a drawing made of several thick paper pages folded.
He carefully took it out of the box with both hands and unfolded it on the table.
You can see that what is drawn on the drawing is a strange-looking instrument. It has a handle on the front side and a cone on the back side. The part connecting the front and back in the middle shows an upward curved shape.
Except for the main part.
It also includes up and down pressure rods, as well as some other attached devices, which looks a little complicated.
If you don't know much about this aspect, it might be difficult to tell what this is when you first see it.
But if you name this set of equipment.
Presumably many people have heard of it.
"Item name: Quyuanli blueprint
Function: Describe and record the overall structure of the Quyuan Plow in detail, as well as the construction methods of each part after splitting.
Note: Improved crops, fertile land, and extremely advanced agricultural equipment are the trinity. Now fasten your seat belts and get ready to take off! "
Recalling the words he saw on the stone tablet last night, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It's exactly what the note says.
This time it’s about to take off hard!
…
Farm tools are indispensable tools in the farming activities of this era.
Depending on the type, they also have different functions. The function of the plow is to turn over the soil. The soil should be turned over first, and then sowing can be carried out.
Ordinary poor people may not use such agricultural tools when farming. After all, they lack cattle to cooperate. Instead, they mostly use their own homemade grass made of wood and stones to turn over the soil.
But for large-scale collectivized labor, the plow is extremely powerful and plays a decisive role in the entire agricultural production process.
At present, the Cao family's father and son are vigorously promoting the military settlement system in the territory they control.
Under the establishment of the army, there are more than 100,000 farmers, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of large-scale collectivized labor.
Therefore, the plow is an indispensable and important agricultural tool for the Cao family!
On this basis, the more advanced the plows and other agricultural tools used, the higher efficiency they can bring to military villages, thus greatly increasing the benefits of grain production.
The curved shaft plow marked on this drawing is a more advanced agricultural instrument than the plows used in this era.
In this era, large households generally use straight-hook plows to turn over soil.
And this thing is extremely long.
The plow shaft part alone can be nine feet long, and the overall frame is very large and heavy.
When changing directions or cultivating soil, more force is required and it is extremely difficult to control.
It often takes two cows to pull the left and right at the same time, like lifting a bar, in order to be able to control it freely.
The Quyuan plow was innovated on this basis and eliminated many shortcomings.
…
The so-called curved shaft means that the plow shaft, as the main part, is bent upward.
The shaft part of the plow is only about six feet, while the frame is smaller and the weight is reduced.
When performing operations such as turning and turning soil, it is quite flexible compared to before.
And precisely because it is more flexible, it greatly saves animal power. It no longer requires two oxen to lift the bar, only one oxen is needed to pull it in front.
This is a milestone improvement across the ages for an era when farming cattle were scarce, even so few that corresponding laws and regulations were introduced to protect them.
And it is precisely because the frame of the Quyuan plow is small.
Therefore, it can still play a role in some irregular and small areas of cultivated land.
This means that more arable land can be discovered within a limited geographical area.
This is another far-reaching improvement!
In short, compared with the straight-column plow, the former simply completely destroyed the latter. This is an essential crushing, not an improvement in bits and pieces.
…
Cao Ang flipped through these drawings.
My heart couldn't help but be filled with sadness and emotion.
It is indeed a powerful product that has been used for more than a thousand years since its invention and has not been eliminated. It is really extraordinary.
Take a look at the split diagrams on the next few pages. This oval plow wall alone is another innovative improvement.
Nothing to say.
After he went to Dongjun, he immediately arranged people and organized manpower for large-scale production.
At the very least, the troops under his command should be equipped with a set of curved shaft plows every certain unit during production.
As long as the basic supporting facilities can be achieved.
That is enough to ensure that more land is cultivated and more food is produced while the number of people cultivating land and the means of production such as cattle remain unchanged.
If my brother Cao Shuo's work on improving grain varieties has achieved certain results and progress, and the yield per mu and ability to adapt to the environment have been improved.
With the cooperation of the two.
The agricultural machinery in Yanzhou will instantly increase its efficiency several times. Other forces organize the people to produce hard for three to five years, which may not be enough to produce their own food for one or two years.
This way.
How can other forces fight?
Unless they are destroyed by an explosion, they will have no choice but to die as long as they use up their energy!
And if the world is unified in the future.
In the process of developing the South, the Quyuan plow can also play a very positive role.
After all, the fields in the south are mostly fragmented and not as contiguous as in the north.
Qu Yuuli's small size is exactly what he needs to deal with this problem. If you think about it carefully, isn't it beautiful?
…
Considering that I am still in Dingtao County at the moment.
There was really no one around.
Therefore, Cao Ang could only put the drawings back into the box for the time being and wait until he returned to Dongjun to make plans.
And after waiting for countless days in Dingtao County.
Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xun You and others finally arrived in Dingtao County with thousands of soldiers and horses under Cao Ang.
Saw the arrival of the large army.
Cao Ang, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly assigned tasks to everyone.
Among them, Zhang Liao continued to lead his soldiers and horses to protect Xun's uncle and nephew, heading towards Puyang County of Dongjun. In the next period of time, he fully cooperated with Xun Yu and Xun You's various measures in Dongjun.
And traveling with the large army.
There are also younger brother Cao Shuo and younger sister Cao Rui, as well as other subordinate officials who need to follow to Dongjun, including Zaozhi who has been assigned to be in charge of farming.
As for Dian Wei himself.
Cao Ang allocated more than a hundred troops to him alone, and ordered him to stay in Dingtao County and take care of his family after Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others went to Puyang County.
After I go to Changyi County and back.
Then follow your own actions.
After all these arrangements were made, Cao Ang didn't waste much time and took more than a hundred personal guards to Changyi County.
But among the peers.
He also brought his mother, Mrs. Ding, and his father's concubines along with him. After all, Cao Cao might not return to Dingtao County for a long time.
…………
Because there are many more female dependents in the team.
So the travel speed is not very fast.
However, Cao Ang was not in a hurry. Anyway, he estimated that his father had not returned from Jinxiang County to Changyi County yet, so he would have plenty of time to make the journey.
Therefore, it is quite leisurely.
However, after entering the boundary of Shanyang County, less than five days away from Changyi County, Cao Ang accidentally bumped into someone.
Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu.
It was night, the sun had already set for a long time, and the sky had become dark.
The soldiers lit bonfires around the camp, and under the arrangement of the general, they were divided into groups of multiple people to conduct sentry patrols around the camp.
At this moment, Cao Ang was in the camp.
There are two people sitting opposite each other at the table.
One of them is Xu Jing, who took over Cao Ang's mission and disappeared for a long time.
Previously, Cao Ang sent him to find someone in Pingyuan County, Qingzhou. Now that he appeared in front of Cao Ang, he must have completed the task.
"Wenxiu, you've been traveling all the way and it's been a long journey. It's really hard on you!"
Looking at the dusty man in front of him, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes had an unconcealable sense of weariness, and his whole person looked full of embarrassment.
Cao Ang couldn't help but patted his shoulder.
He said soothingly with concern in his voice.
After Xu Jing heard Cao Ang's words.
First, he rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands and let out a long breath. Then he squeezed out a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said to Cao Ang.
"As long as I can complete the tasks entrusted to me by General, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it!"
…
After exchanging a few words.
Without waiting for Cao Ang to ask.
Xu Jing took the initiative to introduce the situation.
"General, fortunately, my subordinates successfully found the person you were looking for and successfully brought him back. He is now placed in his camp."
"If you want to see him, I can order someone to bring him over now. With a quick horse ride, you can see this person in less than half an hour!"
Listening to Xu Jing's report.
Cao Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Even though he had already made some guesses about Xu Jing's arrival, now he heard the concrete news.
Cao Ang still couldn't help but clenched his fist with his right hand, and hammered hard on the palm of his left hand.
"Snapped!"
"Wenxiu, good job!"
"I knew you were prudent in your affairs, but after this incident, I know that I was not wrong about the person!"
Listening to Cao Ang's unstinting praise.
Xu Jing felt somewhat excited.
It is a thing of the past to serve as the censor of officials in the court controlled by Dong Zhuo.
His current leader is Cao Ang.
General Cao's evaluation and views of him are indeed related to his future and future.
Therefore, a word of praise from the leader made Xu Jing feel that all the efforts he had made before were not in vain, but had received corresponding rewards.
In the midst of deep thoughts.
Cao Ang's inquiry suddenly came to Xu Jing's ears.
…
"Wenxiu, don't rush to call us here now. You can tell us roughly what happened along the way."
Xu Jing raised his hands when he heard this.
Then there was a detailed description: "After receiving the general's order, the subordinates took the troops and went all the way to Pingyuan County."
"When passing through Dongping Country, in order to avoid the Yellow Turban War, I couldn't help but make a big circle to the east, and walked north through Ningyang County to enter Jibei Country, and then successfully arrived at Pingyuan County. For this reason, it took a lot of time on the way. It took quite a while.”
"But it can be regarded as a blessing or a misfortune. After entering Pingyuan County, you had great luck. In Gaotang County in the south, you found the person you were looking for."
"It is precisely because of this that my subordinates can appear here now. Otherwise, if we really want to continue north to reach Ban County, I am afraid it will take a lot of time."
Listen to Xu Jing's narration.
Cao Ang nodded from time to time.
I am well aware of the hardships along the way.
But now is not the time to reward based on merit, so Cao Ang just asked.
"Then how did you bring him here? Did you convince him with words, or did you forcefully tie him up?"
…
Hear the question.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Xu Jing's face.
He shook his head helplessly.
"After my subordinates arrived in Gaotang County, they inquired about a lot of news from all sides and found out that this person is a proud person who relies on his talent. He has always been arrogant and does not take the world in his eyes."
"So after thinking about it for a while, I'm going to lower my position and be kind to you. After all, it's best if you don't force yourself in places where people and places are unfamiliar."
"It's just that after I send the assassin and pay a visit to his house, my subordinates will know how wrong the previous decision was!"
Hear this.
Before Xu Jing could tell what happened to him.
A joking smile appeared on Cao Ang's face, and he asked with a hint of ridicule.
"Did you go to visit me with nice words, but instead you were scolded by him in person? The scolding was so unpleasant that people didn't know how to reply?"
The words are spoken.
Xu Jing's eyes widened immediately.
He looked at Cao Ang blankly.
Then he nodded eagerly.
"It turns out that General, you know this man's temperament. My subordinates thought that you had only heard of his name but not his true face."
"Originally, I was thinking about such a person. General, if you invite him here, what effect will it have? I was probably deceived by his name."
"To be honest, if you hadn't ordered this person to be brought here, General, my subordinates would have hid as far away as possible. That guy really doesn't look like a serious scholar!"
…
Xu Jing's complaint made Cao Ang even more stunned.
I really can't control the smile on my face.
After forcibly controlling his facial expression, Cao Ang waved his hand to Xu Jing and then said meaningfully.
"Wenxiu, you don't understand. What I want is his foul mouth. The harder he curses, the greater the role he will play in my plans."
"If it's just for his reputation, you won't have to travel thousands of miles. It's really hard to find a replacement for his temperament!"
Xu Jing was stunned when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, having a dirty mouth and swearing harshly has become a talent.
It’s hard to understand!
