Escape from the desert

Chapter 150 Improving Farm Tools
Jiang Wen was surprised. Although he drew the drawings, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. For the two brothers of the Lin family, this might just be an agricultural tool that would be more convenient for them to reclaim wasteland. It is to serve as an official to serve the court.

They didn't know the power of this farm tool, but he knew that once the farm tool on the blueprint was successfully made, it would be a remarkable invention for the entire Great China Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen's rough phalanx unconsciously grasped the drawing. Once this farm tool succeeds, it will accelerate the development of agriculture. If it can be popularized, so many people will starve to death...

Jiang Yan looked at the excitement and shock in Jiang Wen's eyes. She knew what Jiang Wen had in mind. Jiang Wen was a child of farming and reading. Although he was spoiled by his family and never participated in farming, he was a rural person and thought more from the perspective of the common people. Mainly, so after reading this drawing, I will be so eager.

Jiang Yan asked Jiang Wen to draw a few drawings of the plow, and under the communication of several people and the deliberate guidance of Jiang Yan, it gradually became the curved plow in her memory.

The development of ploughs here is quite common, to the extent that long straight ploughs are available in every village, but such ploughs are not flexible enough to turn around when ploughing the land, and they are laborious and inefficient, while curved ploughs are much lighter.

When Jiang Yan returned to the countryside, he saw that many people used it again. This short curved plough is also called Jiangdong plough. Compared with the previous plough, the curved plough has several major improvements.

First, the straight yoke and long yoke are changed to curved yoke and short yoke, and a freely rotating plow disc is installed on the yoke head, which not only makes the plough frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates turning and turning, with flexible operation, saving manpower and livestock. .

Now, this is the most suitable for turning paddy fields. One person can plow several acres of land a day.

"Thanks to Xiaowen, fortunately you're good at drawing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to draw even if we broke our heads." Jiang Yan didn't want to take credit, so she deliberately brought a few of them, so that when someone asked later, they could say how many. What the child came up with, she was just a participant.

Jiang Wen shook his head secretly. Others might not know it, but he knew better than anyone that the little aunt was so smart and clever. Although this drawing was discussed by everyone, the little aunt almost played the role of guiding and taking the lead. Many key parts, if not Who can draw her.

"The carpenter in our village doesn't know if he can do it." Jiang Yan murmured, she remembered that the cripple uncle in the village was also a carpenter, and the dustpan and steamer before were custom-made by him. I don't know if he can make these farm tools.

"Mother, Uncle Cripple can do it. I look at this drawing and feel like I can chisel it out myself, but it will take some time." Lin Dong put away the drawing and continued, "I'll go to Uncle Cripple to elaborate on this later. Aquilegia is more complicated, and our family doesn't open up wasteland now, so if we're not in a hurry, we'll get this plow first."

Lin Dong knows some carpentry work himself. He chiseled all the farm tools at home, and he also made the baskets and dustpans one by one, so he had this confidence.

Jiang Yan nodded, naturally trusting Lin Dong: "No problem, let's name this thing Quyuanli."

Lin Nan scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Why is it called this? Our family is messing around. I think it's better to be called Jiang Jiali."

Jiang Yan heard the words, her mind moved, and she immediately said: "This is too casual, so it's called Quyuan Li, alias Jiang Dongli."

Jiang Wen nodded immediately, and the two names turned in his mouth twice before he continued: "These names are all good, just as the little aunt said."

He thought about it for a while and continued: "Little aunt, if this farm tool can be made, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. When you go to the carpenter to build it, you have to keep the blueprints carefully, so as to save the people who are interested in it."

"Ah?" The brothers of the Lin family looked bewildered, what else could they exploit?

Seeing this, Jiang Wen said more seriously: "The value of this drawing is immeasurable, you have to be careful and don't let others know."

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Wen's serious face, smacked her tongue in her heart, and said with a bit of laughter: "Xiaowen, I know what you mean, if the farm implements on this blueprint can be made, there must be no way to hide them, and let's talk about it. , if it is really easy to use, our entire village, even the entire Yongan Town, all the people can use it."

"!!" Jiang Wen was shocked, and even a little overly excited: "Little aunt, you may not understand the importance of this blueprint, it may be able to exchange for more money, maybe more than what you earn in business! "

Jiang Yan didn't speak this time, just smiled at the corners of her mouth, her eyes glittered, and said solemnly: "Xiaowen, you have to understand that money is important, it can make us eat enough and wear warm clothes, but it's not the measure of everything. standard."

Jiang Wen was startled, his eyes fixed on the drawing, because he was narrow-minded.

"You have the heart of a gentleman, you are brave in the world, and you dare to be in the world. You study the book of sages and sages, and you have a steel scale in your heart. If this blueprint is really sold to a powerful person, the people may not be able to use it. We are not short of money now, why bother Let's go." Jiang Yan considered the vocabulary and said to several people.

"However, we still have to make it ourselves first, and if it is easy to use, we will tell the village, so that everyone finds it easy to use, and it will gradually become popular."

It is difficult for the boss to accept new things. It's like planting late rice. If it wasn't for Lizheng and the village chief's strong request, the village would not have planted all of them. Before seeing the real results, everyone would only dare to taste it. ,Small scale chopper.

The Aquilegia car is different from the curved plough. It is related to the harvest of the farmers throughout the year, especially the Aquilegia car. If the planting is affected when the seeds are laid, and the seedlings do not grow, there is really no place to cry.

"Little aunt, I think too much." Jiang Wen bowed his head slightly, a little low.

Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder. She can also analyze Jiang Wen's thoughts clearly. Young people think about grabbing both ends, not only thinking about benefiting the people, but also thinking about benefit and reputation. There are so many in this world that have the best of both worlds.

"Xiaowen, if you are an official in the future, you must not lose your original intention. Money is important, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. During this period of time, you are in a restless mood, and I think it is difficult for you to be stable when you study, but what's the matter? Knot?"

Jiang Wen raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the little aunt, and at that moment it seemed as if the little aunt would see through her heart.

He pursed his lips slightly, and said with difficulty: "Since the last time I met with my little aunt at Wumingshusi, my heart is like a big stone, and my mind is even more cluttered, my heart is full of barriers, unable to Relief, many things are stagnant."
