Chapter 38 Autumn Grain Harvest
Song.

Zhao Zhen had the same idea as many civil servants. Although they thought this machine was useful, it was not of much use.

In their opinion, what the entire Song Dynasty lacks is not humans, and harvesting can be completed without machines.

Confucianism is the great road and the way to govern the country.

Moreover, the country's civilian power cannot be exhausted, so it is useless to study this kind of thing.

If you have time to study this, it is better to read more about the Four Books and Five Classics, so that you can pass the imperial examination and govern the people in the future.

Of course, some officials feel that the machines on the canopy are of great use. At least they can control the Yellow River when it floods, or help with other national projects.

Of course, they will not go against the mainstream consciousness of the country and say that they also like such machines.

Shen Kuo, who was writing "Notes on Mengxi" at the same time, was shocked when he saw the excavator appearing on the sky.

At this time, he is living in seclusion in Mengxi Garden, focusing all his energy on the book he is currently writing.

Compared with other literati in the Song Dynasty who liked drinking and writing poems, he liked the miscellaneous knowledge more and knew their usefulness better.

Moreover, these things were the wisdom of the ancients, but the previous dynasties did not pay much attention to them. He could only collect and organize them among the people, hoping to pass them on.

However, his behavior is often not understood and is incompatible with many literati.

Now that he saw the machine appearing on the sky, he felt that this behavior was worth it.

It turns out that such wisdom can not only change life, but also change the world.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the machine on the sky screen. The first thing he thought of was whether he could use this thing to dig up the land and cultivate more fertile farmland.

Based on his life experience, he clearly understands that food is the most important thing for the people.

No matter how useful the things on the canopy are, it will be of no use if the people are still hungry.

In the face of hunger, no matter how good the management system is, it is not as good as a full meal.

For example, if he had had a full meal before, he would not have rebelled against the imperial court.

If the Ming Dynasty really had such a machine and could reclaim land, then he believed that the land that had been barren since the Yuan Dynasty could be quickly reclaimed and planted with grains.

Even if it is raw land and the yield of what is grown is lower than that of mature soil, it can still feed many people.

Secondly, he thought of its military and engineering uses.

If he had possessed such a thing a long time ago, marching and fighting would not be so difficult. I am afraid that the Central Plains would have been pacified by him long ago.

Moreover, this machine can also assist in building the Great Wall to resist foreigners, so that the Han people will never become two-legged beasts again.

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingxing, who was taking the college entrance examination, saw the excavator on the sky and stared at it.

Compared with the literati at this time, he had been fond of Zhang Zai's Guanxue since he was a child. He was also very interested in astronomy, acoustics, agriculture and craftsmanship. He had also read Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".

However, these did not help him in the imperial examination and even wasted his time.

The video played on the screen this time made him forget that he was taking the exam, and he only watched it infatuatedly, and could only hand in the paper in a hurry when the exam was about to end.

He understood that he was afraid that he would miss the national examination in the future. After all, his family's money could no longer support him to obtain fame.

Moreover, he is getting older and it is time to give up the idea of ​​being named on the gold list.

But he was unwilling to give up what he was interested in. He planned to go back and edit all the miscellaneous books he had collected. He wanted to compile the wisdom of the ancients into a book.He believes that if this kind of wisdom is used properly, they can also make the machines on the canopy, and then they can also help humans work just like the canopy.

[Countdown to the corn harvest, Henan, the major corn province, starts harvesting #harvestseason#cornharvester]

In the picture, there are continuous golden dealers, and the end cannot be seen in the distance.

The camera zooms in, and the corn with full grains enters the lens.

Seeing this picture, many people were puzzled as to what kind of crop this was that could grow so huge.

At the same time, they could only sigh as they looked at the chestnuts, millet, millet, and bean sprouts in their fields.

The output of the two is so different that even if they don't know the specific output of the canopy, they can estimate the difference.

At this time, they were very eager to have such crops so that they could have enough to eat.

The extra harvested grain can be sold to buy snacks and headbands for your children.

If they work harder, they believe that even the academy on the front canopy will have enough money to pay for it by then.

It's just that they don't have such crops, and they can only hope that Tianmu can provide them with some seeds, even a little bit.

But Tianmu didn't react, even if they regarded Tianmu as God and knelt down to worship him.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang was surprised when he saw the crops suddenly appearing on the sky.

Although Tianmu has mentioned before, a crop called sweet potato will appear in the Ming Dynasty, which can feed [-] million people.

However, Qin Shihuang did not completely believe it. After all, in his understanding, the crops with the highest yield per mu could only yield more than 200 kilograms of grain at most, and no more could be produced.

Not to mention feeding a population of 1000 million, it was difficult to feed more than [-] million people in the entire Qin Dynasty.

But when he saw the corn on the sky today, he believed it.

Although he didn't know how big the territories called Ming and Qing were, just looking at the size of the crops on the sky screen, he believed what was said above.

Qin Shihuang sighed for a long time before coming back to his senses from the sky.

Seeing Qin Shihuang come to his senses, Zhao Gao, who had been beside him for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the yield of the crops on the canopy has been estimated, and it is as high as more than 1000 kilograms."

"How much?" Qin Shihuang asked in surprise.

Could he not be surprised?Although he knew that the yield would be amazing, he still didn't expect that it would be five times the current crop yield. With such a large yield, how many more people would be able to be fed.

If such crops appeared in his Qin Dynasty, would there be anything to fear from the Huns?

At the same time, I also want to know the yield of that sweet potato and where can I get such a crop.

Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at the plump corn cobs on the sky screen and had the same reaction as Qin Shihuang.

Such crops are simply auspicious. If there were such crops, how many people would be able to feed!In this way, he would not have so many worries when attacking the Huns.

But such crops have not been found in Dahan.

At this time, he thought of Zhang Qian.

This man who went on an envoy to the Western Regions not long after he took the throne is still alive after more than ten years have passed.

What can he bring when he comes back?
