Destiny Only Han

Chapter 727 Liu Ying: In what age, are you still breaking corn in the traditional way?
"It's cold in the mountains, but there is heating?"

Lu Zhi pointed to the radiator under the window, a little reluctant to leave.

After all, the mountains are quiet enough. Seeing the green mountains, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers every day makes people feel cheerful. Moreover, she lived in the mountains last winter.

But Liu Bang didn't think so.

He originally thought that he could fall in love with this kind of life like Zhang Liang, but he didn't do much.

Compared with the hermit life of "sitting alone in the secluded grove, playing the piano and singing again", he still prefers the lively life of "smoky willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald curtains, and 10 homes".

So, he said nothing to live here!

Well, this is not only his own idea, but also got the unanimous consent of Lu Gong and Liu Taigong. He is going to move these two old men out if Lu Zhi firmly opposes it!
But at this moment, seeing Lu's pheasant's resolute attitude, Liu Bang retreated directly to break up with Lu's pheasant, and prepared to hand over the mess to Lu Gong.

After all, this is his daughter...

So Liu Bang turned his head, looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Where are you going to play around?"

Especially Liu Fei, who was full of anxiety.

After all, he is old, no matter how much he dresses deliberately, he can't steal the limelight from the young Liu Ying, which hurts Liu Bang, who used to call himself a handsome man...

....................................

For example, American McCormick, the inventor of the harvester, slightly improved the invention of the priest, used better materials than the poor priest, made a harvester with higher efficiency and lower failure rate, and then applied for a patent , making a lot of money...

Liu Ying understood in seconds, looked at Lu Zhi's expression and said, "It's not to play, but to participate in a trade fair. The agricultural machinery trading company has enclosed a piece of land in Liyang to display those machines that improve agricultural efficiency, and accept orders by the way..."

After all, he is Liu Bang's own son. Since he lives in Guanzhong, he naturally needs to make up his mind. Now that he was lazy and didn't come, he was caught by Liu Bang again, so when he bowed his head and saluted, his eyes were like knives. surplus.

Well, he forgot that Liu Fei was hanging out with him today...

Well, four-horse-drawn, widened harvesters for larger farms, and one-horse-drawn, smaller harvesters for rough terrain and family farms.

But although he said that there is no need to be too polite, Liu Fei and Liu Bi rushed forward and bowed to greet him.

Liu Bang is not a big-hearted person, especially for his own people. Therefore, for this little fat man who has no morning and evening resolutions, and being lazy and not losing weight, it is natural to settle accounts after autumn!
Amid Liu Fei's resentment, Liu Ying floated into the carriage and set off immediately.

Liu Bang came over and turned his back to Lu Zhi: "How do you talk to your mother? Even if you are right, you must pay attention to your tone..."

But Liu Bi looked at the corn harvester in front of him, and was going to see the effect after the Guanzhong autumn harvest before deciding whether to purchase in large quantities!
Well, Liu Bi's ability is actually not bad. After all, he once followed Liu Bang to conquer Yingbu in the historical line, and then sat in the southeast, so that Wu Guo could compete with the Hanting Central Committee in Guanzhong.

And unlike the model that only had one two-horse puller back then, there are also the Kunpeng version and the Canary version on display now...

His subtext is obvious.

After all, she was hoping that Liu Bang could stand by her side and suppress Liu Ying's arrogance...

"So the big customers I'm talking about are not how many agricultural machinery they can purchase. The main reason is that with their leading role, more people will accept new things, and the operation of agricultural machinery in their fields can also make those People who are suspicious should see for themselves... After all, seeing is believing!"

Liu Bi on the side moved closer to Liu Ying, and he was more interested in the harvester with other shapes.

Liyang County, east of the city.

Therefore, when Liu Bang, who came from a micro-service, arrived, the fair was already crowded with people. Basically, every employee was surrounded by a dozen or so customers asking questions.

At the gate of Bieyuan, Liu Xin, Liu Fei, and Liu Bi, who were waiting here, chatted one after another, but judging from their positions, their relationship at this time has made great progress compared to yesterday.

"Get out, get out!" Lu Zhi patted the table angrily: "There is no good thing named Liu..."

Liu Ying bowed to Lu Zhi, not forgetting to betray Liu Bang: "Mom, then I went out to play with my father..."

Although the grain output is not comparable to that of places with two or three crops a year, compared with the previous spring planting and autumn harvest of corn, the per capita grain output has made great progress.

Heaven and earth, if possible, I still think it would be better for her to become Empress Lu... Liu Ying stared at the sky silently, speechless.

Liu Bang smiled triumphantly: "You were muttering with Liu Xin and Liu Fei yesterday, thinking Nai Gong didn't see it? Don't talk nonsense, tell me, where are you going to play?"

But Liu Bang just sneered twice, and didn't explode immediately, but went straight past Liu Fei and Liu Bi, and boarded Liu Ying's simple-looking, luxuriously furnished four-wheeled carriage.

take me...

"All right, all right, what you said is right!" Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bang, showing a rare little girl's attitude: "You see, your son has grown up now, and his wings are stiff. If you say something to him, his The little mouth can babble ten words!"

As for Liu Bi's temptation, the main reason is that Daiguo is located in the north, and the annual snowfall is almost a month earlier than that in the Central Plains, so many places can only grow three crops in two years.

After a while, the main gate of the Bieyuan opened, and a young master Pian Pianjia in a goose-yellow robe and a purple gold crown came out. The wishful jade pendant swayed slightly with his steps, making the whole person look graceful and outstanding.

The reason is simple, it is a special machine for harvesting corn.

You don't want to bring me with you when you open an impparty, right... Liu Ying's eyes were full of contempt, and she immediately waved her hands: "Brother, don't be too polite..."

After all, there was no internal combustion engine at this time, and all agricultural machinery was powered by livestock. Many customers who bought agricultural machinery would stop by the cattle and horse market to get all the parts in one stop...

"Huh?" Liu Ying stepped back half a step: "How did you know that I was going down the mountain?"

Liu Fei, a fat man with a white face, and Liu Bi, a fat man with a dark face, curled their lips in disdain, showing their disdain for the fair face, while Liu Xin tidied up his clothes and went forward to salute: "I have seen the prince."

"Oh! Can't you be negligent?" Lu Zhi sneered, thinking that the one who is close to the ink is black, and his son must have been misled by a careless daughter-in-law!

After all, there are four irons in life, a concubine has no human rights, and the meat is rotten in the pot. She understands everything...

Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying who was stunned, winked, and said in a voice that only he and Liu Ying could hear: "If you don't leave now, when will you stay?"

..............................

"It's not about making money...Really. The so-called country is based on agriculture. The higher the efficiency of agricultural production, the higher the food output, the more stable the country will be, and the country will be full of vitality...As for the inexhaustible food, it can be used to make wine or It is to engage in breeding and benefit the people's livelihood!"

Liu Ying looked away with some guilt, and pretended to be okay, she folded her chest and breathed the fresh air blowing in front of her.

This was originally a cattle and horse market, but now half of it is occupied by agricultural machinery trading companies and used as a trade fair. At first, those cattle dealers were very dissatisfied, after all, their stalls were reduced, but as the fair progressed, they found that their business It was also very good, so I spontaneously bought a lot of fruit beer and sent it to the venue for the people of the agricultural machinery trading company and the customers participating in the fair to enjoy.

"Father, think about it. Liu Xin is in charge of the Nichinan Governor's Mansion. The elder brother is the King of Qi, and Liu Bi is the Crown Prince of the Dai Kingdom. These are all big customers, so you can't be neglected..."

The prototype of this agricultural machine was invented in 1826 by a priest named Patrick Bell, who refused to obtain a patent for humanitarian reasons in order not to pay people to use his harvester.

It's just that the priest is noble, but the capitalists will never let go of any opportunity to make money.

Liu Ying shook her head and argued:

The trade show is different from the press conference. All the agricultural machinery are displayed statically. At most, people can sit on it and feel it. After all, the summer harvest is over, and the harvesting efficiency of Saturn-[-] is obvious to all.

"Let's go, what do you look like as a big shopkeeper shrinking back?" Liu Bang stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Ying in front of him.

"That's right, they are all sons of the Liu family. There is no need to salute on this occasion." Liu Bang slowly walked out from behind the door, also full of disdain for the little boy.

In the first year of winter sowing wheat, after the wheat matures, other crops such as soybeans or cotton are planted, and then the winter is approaching, so that the subsequent sowing of wheat cannot survive the cold winter, so they can only choose winter fallow, and wait until the third year to sow corn in spring , sow wheat in winter, and repeat in turn.

Corn, in particular, is a crop that uses sunlight far more than wheat, corn, and rice, and thus has a high yield. It has become a staple food for many people.

"Okay." Liu Ying led the way unceremoniously.

"It's really not a thing!" Liu Bang cursed in a low voice, staggered, only felt that a small knife was poking him behind, so he accelerated and walked out.

Liu Ying approached Liu Bi and explained: "This corn harvester is the same as the wheat harvester. It cannot complete threshing, but it can cut off the corn stalks and gather them into bundles... As for the follow-up, manpower is still needed to break off the corn cobs one by one. "

"Hey, there are triangular knives installed under these two horizontal bars, and the upper horizontal bar is driven by two wheels through gears to reciprocate, which is equivalent to an automatic scissors. This wing plate sends corn to the scissors to complete the cutting. ..."

Although Liu Bi didn't quite understand it, he still nodded and said, "That's good too. Compared with the previous work where you had to bend down and cut corn stalks one at a time, you will save a lot of effort with a machine..."

Liu Ying echoed and said: "Yes, so I improved the harvester a little and lengthened the transmission device, so that when harvesting corn, another person can drive the loading carriage and the harvester side by side for combined harvesting. Upgrade again!"
