Chapter 504 Alternative Redemption 26
Gu Yanzhi dismissed Wushuang's idea of ​​inciting the tenants to flee. The aristocratic family is not the government, and they only need evidence to convict people.

As long as the tenant came to Wushuang's place in the end, it would be Wushuang's crime, and he could do it directly.

Wushuang can only give up with regret, it's not that she doesn't know this truth, she just wants to worry about the lack of people, so she can casually say hello.

Since the population problem cannot be resolved, the only way to improve farm tools is to hire short-term laborers for farming.

Wushuang didn't use Qu Yuanli, which was worn out by Time Traveling. Although Qu Yuanli is good, it is still a backward agricultural tool used in ancient farming, and it is not as good as modern agricultural tools.

As early as in modern society, Wushuang systematically studied some small agricultural inventions to prepare for the construction of infrastructure in the ancient world.

Wushuang led a group of blacksmiths and worked for ten days, making [-] semi-automatic plowing machines, which were driven by gears without engines.

When using it, it will be heavy at first, but it will be very easy when the gears are turned.

A plow can be moved faster by a man than by an ox, and even faster by an ox.

It's just a bit of scrap iron. The imperial court strictly controls ironware. With the spare iron in Wushou's hands, only these twenty plow machines were made.

However, one machine can support the labor force of seven or eight cows, which greatly alleviates the problem of manpower shortage, and makes it easier for the common people who can't wait to soak in the fields day and night.

But in addition to the plow machine, Wushuang also wants to make a planter, but now she has no iron in her hand, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without iron, she can't make any good ideas.

It’s not that Wushuang has never thought of using wood as a substitute, but whether it is a plow machine or a planter, the most important parts inside are various large and small gears, which cannot be replaced by wood.

If you don't have iron, you can only ask someone who has iron, and the only one who has a lot of iron resources in your hands is Gu Beifang, the magistrate.

Just a lot of time has passed since the last delivery of glass products, and it can be said that the merchant ship that I went to sea has returned, bringing back a lot of glass products.

Thinking of doing it, Wushuang immediately took the newly made large glass screen to the state capital to give Gu Beifang a gift, and asked Gu Beifang to help her get the iron.

The glass screen that Wushuang brought was very large, with a total of eight panels, on which were painted eight mythical beauties in the world's legends. The pictures of beauties drawn by Wushuang himself were made by skilled craftsmen.

These eight stunning beauties are so lifelike, as if real people were sealed in glass, and even the tiny messy hair on the sideburns can be seen.

To be honest, because it is too real, Wushuang actually regrets it after it is done well. When the screen is opened, it seems that there are really eight silent beauties surrounding you, which is always a little scary.

Anyway, Wushuang didn't like the screen he made, so he stuffed it into Gu Yanzhi's room, and was thrown out by Gu Yanzhi's orders that day, obviously Gu Yanzhi didn't like it either.

However, Gu Beifang liked the screen that Wushuang and Gu Yanzhi didn't like very much, and admired it for a long time, with a full face of love.

He also praised Wushuang for the beautiful screen, it is a priceless treasure, and he is very satisfied.

As for the ironware that Wushuang wanted, Gu Beifang directly stated that it was just a trivial matter, and he didn't even ask why Wushuang wanted so many ironware.

He directly asked his confidants to take Wushuang to a warehouse. There were a lot of iron pieces in it, and Wushuang took them away.

This warehouse must be an official warehouse, but Gu Beifang didn't mention it, Wushuang didn't know it, and the two parties completed the transaction tacitly.

Gu Beifang felt that Wushuang sent such a precious gift, just a bit of iron, which he saw as useless, was definitely not enough to reciprocate.

Then he told Wushuang another internal news that something happened to a small family, and someone above wanted to punish this small family.

Once this small aristocratic family collapses, the government will confiscate a large amount of land, at least [-] to [-] mu of land. If Wushuang is willing, Gu Beifang can help her retain at least half of it.

However, these lands spanned four counties and were incoherent, so they were definitely not as convenient to manage as coherent ones.

The most important thing is that although Gu Beifang can give Wushuang a discount this time, some people on the top see that it is impossible to get as much discount as the land sold to Wushuang before, and Wushuang needs to prepare some money.

Although Wushuang is worried that there will be too much land and no one will grow it, but the population can find a way. If so much land is missed, it will not be able to buy it in a short time.

Wushuang immediately expressed his gratitude to Gu Beifang, and asked Gu Beifang to help her keep the land, and she will go to prepare money, and she will bring gold and silver to buy the land as soon as it is vacant.

As for this small family that is about to be unlucky, Wushuang knows that many of her tenants were embezzled by this small family and became tenants, which is not a good thing.

It should be said that there is no family in this era that does not exploit the people. The only difference is that a good family exploits less so that the people will not starve to death.

More aristocratic families are superior, do not treat the people as human beings, and do not care whether the people live or die, they will only peel off layer by layer until they die.

After receiving great news and getting back enough iron, Wushuang returned home with a full load.

With these irons, Wushuang simply made [-] planters this time. Wushuang tried it out, and the sowing speed of the planters was surprising.

With these [-] plow machines, [-] seeders, and the recruitment of short-term laborers for farming, the problem of manpower shortage for the handsless workers has been greatly alleviated.

Wushuang did not hide the plow and seeder, and even mentioned it to Gu Beifang.

Wushuang is not afraid that these two things will be discovered by the court, and then they will ask for drawings. If the court really wants the drawings of the planter and plow, Wushuang will be happy to send them.

As for the impact of the promotion of the plow and seeder on her future rebellion cause, Wushuang didn't care, nor was she afraid of the trouble it would cause.

In the final analysis, what Wushuang cares most is not rebellion, but whether the people can live a good life.

And it's not that Wushuang looked down on the imperial court. Even if the people all over the world used plow machines and seeders, they still couldn't stand the court's harsh exploitation, and the people all over the world would still rebel.

Not to mention that it is difficult to make a plow machine and a seeder machine, and it uses a lot of iron. Even if it is promoted, it is still unknown how many people can afford it.

Wushuang thought a lot about what kind of changes would be brought to the people after these two machines were sent to the imperial court.

But the reality is that Wushuang's thoughts are all in vain. No matter whether it is Gu Beifang or the county magistrates, no one cares about plowing machines and seeding machines.

These officials, one by one, put why not eat minced meat on their faces. It is absurd to think that the grain grows from the granary, as if the granary should always be full.
