Datang first village

After the seeds are planted, then some dry powder is also dropped in another set of boxes, and finally the combination plow turns the soil over to cover the seeds.

The 200 meters passed in four to five minutes, and then the man on the plow came down and put on the wheels.

The steam engine reversed, and the plow was quickly pulled back to a place 200 meters away.

The plow is moved across to the side that has not been plowed, that is, six meters and fifty centimeters.

"Why is there an empty one?" Cui Yingying didn't understand, so she asked in a low voice.

Immediately, a personal guard explained: "Leave one and use a wide wheel to compact it. Usually, people can walk on it. Whether it is watering or fertilizing, it is more convenient."

Neither Li Er nor Li Yuanxing opened their mouths. They did the same thing, that is, timed with their watches.

Li Yuanxing used a watch, and Li Er used a pocket watch.

After the plow has been moved, the preparers on both sides begin to load the seeds, dry powdered fertilizer, and then release the buckle to allow the plow to touch the ground again.

The steam engine is much heavier. There is a small gear set. After conversion, the power can be transferred to its own wheels. It moves six meters on the rail because the wheels are on, and the gear set just borrowed some cable coils. The power of the wheel, so the speed is not fast.

Six meters takes 1 minute.

But this 1 minute is just enough for the plow to move and load.

It's started again...

"Goro, you can work nine to twelve times in about one hour. Take the middle and count as ten times. It means 12 mu per hour, and you need three people for the steam engine, 23 people for the plow, and eight people for assistance, a total of 23 people. [-] Individuals, one bull for every four people, and one more person, can be divided into six groups!"

Li Erzai and Li Yuanxing were making calculations.

The emperor Li Er didn't grow up in the warm and fragrant nephrite since he was a child. He knew soldiers and farmers.

"A group of four, one acre a day is considered a hardworking people. If there are no oxen, half an acre a day is hard work if there are no oxen, and half an acre a day is hard work. From the depth of the plow, five oxen may not be able to plow such a deep field. Calculated at four hours a day, that is two hundred acres. Five hours a day, the four machines sent by Yaozhou, plus 100 people to work, can plow a thousand acres in a day."

Li Yuanxing was somewhat disapproving of Li Er's calculation.

There is only one thousand mu in one day, so how long does it take for 100 million mu? In other words, to finish the work within ten days, you need [-] machines like this, and there must be no machines that break down, or there are big rocks in the soil. , Only pure land can be used, if there are big rocks, the pulling force on both sides is unbalanced, and the machine will fall over.

Besides, something like a steam engine won't break if you use it every day.

If you put it on for ten days and half a month, maybe there will be a problem there.

Four hundred steam engines, let alone how much it costs to manufacture, then after farming, the utilization rate of these steam engines is just for the cultivation of these few days, which is of little significance.

"Wu Lang, you seem to be dissatisfied with this speed!" Li Er asked softly.

Li Yuanxing nodded.

"Goro, you think too much. You still know that you should do it step by step when it comes to the unity of the army and the people. As for the machine, you want it to be extremely practical immediately. Craftsmen who can do this are rewarded!"

"Brother Huang is talking about Zhong, but my younger brother is in a hurry. I think there will be millions of acres of fertile land in Huazhou, and there is not enough manpower to cultivate it. It is too wasteful. But my younger brother is also thinking, just for farming It is a huge waste to make hundreds of such machines, and then after they are left idle.”

Li Er nodded: "Goro is right, but the hard work of craftsmen should be rewarded!"

"Your Highness, this steam engine is prepared for the mill." Shui Siyuan whispered beside him.

Mill, this is too wasteful!

The steam engine with such power is only used for mills, so how much flour does it need to grind every day?

Li Yuanxing thought that it is better to save a few for the mill, and leave the rest for the marble workshop.

"Okay, I want a reward, I want a big reward!"

Li Ercai doesn't care what Li Yuanxing thinks, in Li Er's eyes, Li Yuanxing will never be satisfied with the development of machines.Now Li Er has seen the benefits of the machine, one thousand acres a day, this speed is really gratifying.

"Another [-] mu of corn will have enough rations for the military camps in Huazhou!" Li Er gave another order.

"Go back to Chang'an?" Li Yuanxing asked suddenly.

"No!" Li Er and Li Jing replied at the same time. There is still a lot to see here, and after finally starting to study Li Yuanxing's management methods for the land of a state, it is natural to have a thorough look.

Li Yuanxing took a long breath: "Then I'll go back to Chang'an!"

"No!" Li Er and Li Jing refused at the same time.

Li Yuanxing said in a low voice: "Mingyue has returned to Chang'an, and she didn't come here. Instead, she actually went to Qinwangzhuang. I was really scared. She has lived in Yaozhou for a long time recently, and she only knows how to dismantle things in my Qinwangzhuang, so I want Go back and watch."

"Mingyue worked hard in Yaozhou, so there's no reason to be nervous about taking away some of the goods." Li Er was talking about Li Yuanxing's mistake.

Li Yuanxing had no choice but to nod silently.

What is Li Yuanxing nervous about? He is not nervous about anything, but there are letters written by Li Lanshan to several princesses in his study. It is better not to let Wu Zhao see this thing, so as to save trouble.

Qin Qiong is back.

Li Jing went over to ask the sergeant what to do, but Qin Qiong said to Li Yuanxing: "Wulang, please return to Chang'an quickly!"

"Go back to Chang'an immediately!" Li Yuanxing was overjoyed.

But I heard Qin Qiong continue to say: "Something has happened. Someone from East Turkic secretly sent [-] catties of stainless steel to Goguryeo. The buyer is the Yuangai Suwen you mentioned in Wulang, and the delivery is from Tuli Khan." Subordinates. Whether Tuli Khan knows about this transaction is yet to be ascertained!"

"One stroke, or several strokes?" The smile that had just appeared on Li Yuanxing's face sank.

"I don't know!" Qin Qiong just got the urgent mail.

Li Yuanxing turned his attention to Li Er, and was about to speak, but saw Li Eryi waving his hand: "Don't worry about it, Big Tang has too many things to deal with. Right now, I need to take care of the lives of Datang's military subordinates. The moral character of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, such trivial matters as a little fine steel, Goro will handle it by himself!"

"Brother Huang, that minister should go to Chang'an immediately!"

Small matter, can this be a small matter?Li Yuanxing's face turned dark, and he and Qin Qiong flew towards Chang'an with almost two personal guards.

After Li Yuanxing left, Li Jing asked, "Your Majesty, do you really care? This is no small matter!"

"I know, but do you know, pharmacist, that the second plan of Wulang sheep eating people in the grassland was supposed to start in April, but it is already June, and it will be July soon, but it still hasn't moved?"

Li Er asked a seemingly unrelated question.

But Li Jing understood.

Li Er was complaining, not only Tianying Pavilion, but also Li Yuanxing.

Because of the amazing cooperation in the past six months on the grassland, everything went according to the Tang Dynasty, so Qin Wangfu and Tianying Pavilion both postponed the plan.There are two reasons. One is that there are still many internal problems in Datang. Tianying Pavilion believes that internal problems should be solved first.Another reason lies in Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing believes that since the East Turks have expressed their intention to submit, they should not drive the people on the grassland to a dead end.

Thirty thousand catties of steel would be forty tons in later generations. This quantity may not seem like much, but its quality is extremely bad.

Li Yuanxing's face really turned black, and he couldn't help cursing while riding on the horse: "A group of bastards, they have only been relaxed for a few days, and their courage is beyond bounds!"

Qin Qiong didn't speak, but felt secretly pleased.

Also secretly delighted is the great Tang Emperor Li Er, who made Li Yuanxing more murderous towards the Turkic people.The life of the Turkic people is not easy, and the life of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be easy.

"This is a trap!" Li Er whispered to Li Jing, stroking his beard.

Li Jing also nodded: "My sage is wise, some dogs who don't know how strong the whip is, still have the surname of wolf."

"Don't underestimate Wulang's whip!" Li Er smiled with satisfaction, and Li Jing also laughed along with him.

Li Yuanxing hurried back to Chang'an. Even if it was a straight-line distance from Huazhou to Chang'an, it was 10 miles, and it would take at least [-] miles to travel by road.The longest distance Li Yuanxing rode before was [-] miles, but now he rested for [-] minutes at [-] miles. It took him two hours to rush back to Chang'an City in one go.

Sitting in the main hall of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, Li Yuanxing felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Qin Qiong is fine, and the two personal guards are even more fine.

The first thing Qin Qiong did after entering the room was to ask someone to bring over the original and translated parts of the information.

However, Li Yuanxing didn't read the information, instead he ordered someone to find Wei Zheng in the Tiance Admiral's mansion, sat on the cushion beside him, asked the little official here to make him a cup of tea, and then asked for some Dim sum at a famous restaurant in Chang'an City, began to rest.

"Wulang, I received another piece of information. Eight days ago, it came from the inner city of Goguryeo, and the Wu brothers sent it. The city transported [-] catties of refined steel. Heavens, most of it was loaded on a ship and shipped away, and about two thousand catties were sold privately to the nobles in the city!"

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly: "Brother Shubao! Is the quantity of [-] catties reliable?"

Qin Qiong was also thinking, and replied after a while: "It should be reliable. One ingot and ten catties can be counted in quantity, and the security department has regulations for a spy under a certain subordinate to inquire about this kind of information. Quantity, then report a guessed data, but it must be declared as a guess!"

"Brother Shubao means that if the accurate quantity is reported, it will be found. Even if there is a difference, it will not be too much!" Li Yuanxing asked.

Qin Qiong nodded: "That's exactly the truth!"

"Wait for Wei Changshi to come over, there are many doubts about this matter." (To be continued.)
