Chapter 122 Incubation
"Uncle Zhao, you two master craftsmen, thank you for your hard work!"

Although the garden was turned into ditches by plows, Gongsun Yan was still very happy to see the curved plow on the ground.

The early appearance of this plow will be the first step in changing the contemporary farming environment.

The main grain-producing areas in this time and space are concentrated in the five states of Xu, Qing, Yan, Henan, and Hebei. As long as these five states have good harvests, the whole state of the Han Dynasty can survive.

However, once these states encounter large-scale wars and are destroyed, the entire Han Dynasty will be starved.

Youzhou, especially Youbei, western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning have always been bitter and cold frontier places far away from the Central Plains.

If there were plowshares, sweet potatoes, and corn that had appeared in advance, as well as the cotton that Gongsun Yan was about to try to plant, this bitter cold place might not be able to become a big granary.

What's more, whether it's high-yielding crops or plowshares, Gongsun Yan has no intention of imposing a blockade.

Her purpose has always been to execute the main thread of the system. While protecting herself and the people she cares about in this troubled world, she should flap her wings as much as possible to end this troubled world so that more people can survive.

The two craftsmen had never been thanked so face-to-face by their master. They bowed their heads in fear and humility, but couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Uncle Zhao, remember to keep this first plowshare well." Gongsun Yan pointed to the plowshare on the ground with a smile.

If these things are preserved, they will become first-hand information on the development of the plow shaft. Keep them well. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can build an exhibition hall and put them in it.

"No." Zhao Xi would not object to such a move, so he smiled and nodded.

Gongsun Yan asked Zhao Xi to reward each of the two craftsmen with a piece of brocade.

At this time, Guzhu Manor, including Beidi, still used cloth, silk, gold and millet as currency.

Each person has one end of brocade, whether it is used as currency, or is kept as a gift for one's children or as a wedding gift, it is a generous gift.

The two craftsmen declined as usual and happily accepted.

Arranging for them to continue working and preparing for the next production of farm tools, Gongsun Yan looked at Zhou Xing who was following him: "Manager Zhou, how are you doing?"

Zhou Xing has been in charge of farming in the village for many years. At first he didn't see any difference, but after pushing the curved plow with his own hands, he could immediately notice the difference and the huge changes it would bring.

Because Gongsun Yan was talking to Zhao Xi, he did not speak and his face turned red from holding back.

The young lady once told them that she would promote extremely high-yielding crops and develop new agricultural tools in the village.

At the time, no one believed it could really be done.

This is how the manor has been operating for hundreds of years, with spring plowing and autumn harvest, and they never imagined that there would be any earth-shaking changes.

At least no one believed that such a change would be brought about by a helpless girl who had lost her family for the first time.

But it has only been a few days, and the plow that can really bring about earth-shaking changes has appeared.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but think of the new crop with a yield of 4000 kilograms per mu that Gongsun Yan once said.

Even if Zhou Xing fantasizes, he doesn't dare to imagine that he can have an output of 4000 kilograms.

Even if one acre can produce 1000 kilograms?

Zhou Xing felt that he couldn't bear such joy just thinking about it.

Until then, Gongsun Yan asked him, and then he stammered: "Little lady, can that kind of crop called sweet potato really be so high-yielding?"

Seeing Gongsun Yan nodding, Zhou Xing felt very regretful. If he had known that he could really make new farm tools, if he had known that there could be such high-yielding crops, why would he be unable to sleep at night and worry about his gray hair.

Seeing the regret on his face, Gongsun Yan was a little amused. He asked him to see the new farm tools because he wanted Zhao Yun to take up his post with peace of mind and no longer have to worry about things in the village. He was not asked to regret. "Okay! Manager Zhou, there is a surprise coming next, do you want to see it?"

Zhou Xing nodded repeatedly and followed Gongsun Yan to another courtyard not far away.

Zhao Xi also twirled a blade of grass off the hem of his clothes, patted the dirt at the corner of his robe and followed.

Compared to the front yard, this place is obviously much more lively.

Before I even stepped through the door, I heard the chirping sounds of energetic girls and children.

"Young lady, Manager Zhou, Mr. Zhao." Wang Wu, who was standing at the door with a knife in his hand, saluted everyone with a solemn expression and cupped his fists.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gongsun Yan responded with a smile and stepped into the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Xing was sensitive to the difference in this courtyard. There was an extra brick chimney in the main room next to the wall.

When Zhou Xing went to Lingzhi Nafeng in previous years, he saw such a fire wall and chimney at Lord Gongsun's house.

Could this wall of fire be the surprise that the little lady mentioned?
This kind of fire wall and temperature-controlled room may not be familiar to Li Shu, but it is nothing new to wealthy families.

When Zhou Xingzheng was confused, he heard some different voices.

The two playful voices among them were very familiar to Zhou Xing.

The older girl's voice should be that of the young lady's original maid, Ah Qing. Later, the young lady assigned Ah Qing to the young master's side.

The voice of the other child was naturally that of the young master Gongsun Cheng.

The impression the young master left on Zhou Xing was that he was a shy, clingy, well-behaved and quiet child who rarely laughed so excitedly.

In addition to the voices of Ah Qing and Gongsun Cheng, there were also some people talking in the room.

But these are not important. As he gets closer, Zhou Xing can hear a lot of chirping sounds mixed in with people's voices.

Zhou Xing glanced at Gongsun Yan with an incomprehensible expression. Did Lady Gongsun change this courtyard into a temperature-controlled room to raise chickens for the young master to have fun?

But based on his understanding of the young lady in the past few days, even though the young lady dotes on the young master, she is not a person who is accustomed to extravagance and waste.

Zhou Xing was full of questions, but when he entered the house, he was all washed away by the chirping, yellow and furry chickens in the house.

Lifting the thick curtain of the main room, the surrounding temperature immediately rose a lot.

On the east side, against the wall, a wide and large platform was built with bricks and stones, which radiated heat.

More importantly, Zhou Xing saw that the table was full of eggshells and intact eggs.

Ah Qing and several women were picking up chicks with newly dried mucus on their fluff from corners and corners into bamboo baskets lined with cloth.

Seeing Gongsun Yan come in, Gongsun Cheng ran over happily holding a fluffy chick in his hands.

"Sister, look!" He raised his white little hands high and carefully, and the newborn chick chirped in his palm.

"I helped hatch the chicks." Gongsun Cheng's face was red and full of excitement. Being able to welcome so many little lives with his own hands brought him more than just joy.

This is why Gongsun Yan asked A Qing to bring him here.

"A Cheng is great!" Gongsun Yan rubbed his head hard, and then took the chicken in his hand to prevent him from accidentally squeezing this new-born little life to death.
