Before the trust institution's enthusiasm had dissipated, the sound of New Year's firecrackers resounded throughout every inch of Da Qin.
Ying Zheng took Lian Er from the villa early and returned to the palace.
The princes and princesses also entered the palace together with their families.
Let’s all get together and have a happy New Year!
Many of the princesses are already pregnant, and by next New Year, many more will be born!
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone watched the fireworks together.
The fireworks come up with new tricks every year and they never disappoint everyone!
At the end of the new year, everyone returns to work, factories start production, and ministers start their morning meetings to start the new year's life.
Even if you go to court early at this time, it is just a formality, and there is basically nothing to discuss!
After a leisurely day, the weather gradually became warmer, the ice and snow melted, and grass was already emerging from the ground!
Veterans also began to move back to Xianyang from the commercial city.
After all, Xianyang is closer to the palace, and it is more convenient to go to court in the morning.
Wang Ben was not in a hurry. He had retired anyway, and it would not be too late to return to Xianyang after the heating in the villa area was turned off.
The most important thing in the court now is spring plowing, and cooperatives everywhere are also busy.
As in previous years, Ying Feiyu will lead hundreds of officials to do the plowing to set an example for the people. The date for the plowing has been set!
The courtiers have been tortured a lot by Ying Feiyu in the past few years. When they think of spring plowing, their legs begin to wobble, wishing that life would go slower!
Zhang Han has retired in March, and Xiao He has taken over the position of Minister of Household Affairs. He will prepare the materials needed for spring farming this year!
When the day of spring plowing arrived, Baiguan arrived at the field and found that in addition to rotary tillers and tractors, there were also some unknown small machines.
An armrest with something like a wheel underneath.
"What's this?"
"I don't know!"
"Never seen...!"
The officials gathered around the small machines, stroking their chins and wondering for a long time but still couldn't figure out what they were used for.
"This is the seeder your Majesty has just developed! A total of one thousand units have been produced in the first batch and have been sent to various county cooperatives! All of our fifty units in Xianyang are here!"
Xiao He finished his work and came over with a smile to explain.
"Seeder? Is it possible that this thing can sow seeds?"
"How to sow seeds? The machine has no hands!"
"Even if it has hands, it won't work! It can't find the pit, let alone how many seeds to put in...!"
After the ministers learned of its effect, they shook their heads and even thought Xiao He was joking.
Even if plowing and cultivating the land can be replaced by machines, digging holes and sowing seeds will definitely not work!
"Haha! You will know later!"
Xiao He didn't explain much. Anyway, specialized craftsmen would teach them how to use it and demonstrate it!
After a while, the soldiers unloaded all the seeds from the vehicle and filled the tractor with diesel. After all the preparations were done, the craftsmen began to load the seeds into the seed box of the seeder!
All the officials gathered around and watched curiously!
After the seeds are installed, the craftsman places the seeder on the ridge platform, holds the handrails with both hands, and slowly pushes it forward.
There are seven or eight metal claws on the wheel-like device, which penetrate deep into the earth in a closed manner during the pushing process.
As you push forward, the claws will be slowly lifted up. In the process, two or three seeds will fall down, and then they will close again!
Seeing the work of the craftsmen, the ministers were all dumbfounded, "This... this thing can really sow seeds?"
“Are there really seeds in the ground?”
The minister couldn't believe it and immediately went to dig where the sower had walked.
Sure enough, the seeds were actually dug up.
The seeds are buried in the soil not deep nor shallow, just right.
"This is amazing. Even manual digging cannot ensure that the depth is consistent. The seeds dropped by this seeder are in almost the same position, and the number of seeds is two to three. It is really amazing!"
"In this case, does it mean that there is no need to manually dig the hole?"
The minister, who had been frightened for the past few years, immediately brightened up, as if he had been saved.
"Definitely! This thing goes directly deep into the ground to sow seeds during the pushing process. Not only does it not need to dig holes, but it also saves seeding and covering!"
A minister next to him gave an affirmative answer.
"Great, we can just push this thing all the way forward without getting tired anymore!"
"Now, no matter how much land your Majesty plows, we can easily finish it!"
"Yes! No matter how fast the tractor is, it can't be faster than us...!"
The ministers all grinned and were excited.
In previous years, Ying Feiyu had already plowed a large area, and they followed slowly behind him, straightening up from time to time and glancing desperately at the unfinished land!
Now, they are each given a small seeder, they just need to fill it with seeds and push it all the way!
Compared with previous years, this is not too easy.
In the past, two people worked in teams, but now one person can sow, and the efficiency can be at least doubled!
Kang Anping drove the rotary tiller in front, turning over the hard land.
Ying Feiyu drove the tractor behind, plowing the soft land into ravines!
The ministers were all in high spirits and planned to fight back.
In the past years, His Majesty always failed them a lot. This time, they have to stick to His Majesty’s backside and urge Him to plow the land faster!
The tractor went back and forth several times, plowing dozens of ridges, and then the ministers slowly came on stage.
"Yawn...! Oh! I'm tired from waiting!"
"No! With this seeder, we don't have to worry at all!"
"I guess we have finished planting all these, and His Majesty's side has not yet been plowed!"
"That's for sure, haha, I didn't expect that we would be here today...!"
Dozens of ministers set out together, pushing the seeder forward while talking and laughing.
For them, this thing was a piece of cake, it took no effort at all, and it didn't take long for them to push it to the end.
The land that Ying Feiyu had just cultivated was not enough for them to share, so they could only stand on the edge of the field and wait for the land to be cultivated!
"Thinking about spring plowing makes my calves spin. I didn't expect it to be so easy this year, haha!"
"Yes! It would be great if the seeder was produced earlier!"
"This thing is really easy to use. I won't have to worry about sowing in the future...!"
The ministers raised their heads and chatted leisurely. After a long while, the land cultivated was enough for them to share equally.
In a quarter of an hour, they finished planting again and stood at the edge of the field waiting.
This time during the spring plowing, Kang Anping and Ying Feiyu didn't stop for a moment, but it was still not enough for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to sow. It can be seen that the efficiency of the seeder has increased several times!
All this was photographed by reporters and recorded in detail in newspapers.
The newspaper published it the next day, and the people immediately became excited.
Who wouldn’t want a machine that can increase sowing efficiency?
Besides, the price of this thing is only a hundred yuan, which is a good welfare price!
Unfortunately, the current production is too small, and it will not be widely popularized until next year!
