Chapter 423
With the burst of thought brought by the bobbin car, many outstanding representatives of ancient farming equipment flashed in Ma Chao's mind.After screening, Ma Chao believes that there are two tools that can be used in Yongzhou's farming business next year.

"Before entering Chang'an, in a certain farm, sowing crop seeds was actually the most primitive way of sowing by hand. Could it be that in this era, there is no columbine cart?"

In fact, the scope of Ma Shi's arsenal today is not just about weapon manufacturing.More practically speaking, this arsenal is already the scientific research center of the Ma family. Whether it is military, agricultural, or even political-related construction, it is all developed and manufactured by the arsenal.

Among Ma's industries such as Ma's farm, arsenal, ranch, and shops, Ma Chao always puts the arsenal first.Because he knows that science and technology will always be the first element to promote social production.

"A columbine cart?" Zheng Hun was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "But during Emperor Wu's time, Zhao Guo made a columbine cart, and gave the land method to increase the production of columbine carts in dry fields?"

"That's right, it's exactly the sharp tool that Cui Shi mentioned in Zhenglun, which can sow 660 hectares a day. Said: "Emperor Wu is now, but 200 years, this sharp weapon will not disappear, right?"

Zheng Hun was ashamed and speechless, but nodded silently.When Ma Chao saw Zheng Hun's expression, he also sighed deeply: he suddenly discovered a big problem, that is inheritance.The Chinese nation has never lacked wisdom, but how much of the brilliance of wisdom has been annihilated under the iron hooves of wars. Every time the Chinese society develops to the extreme, wars will strike.

Zhan Luan, the devil, wantonly ravaged the greatest nation on this planet with iron hooves, sabers, and blood.The Chinese nation is good at building mansions from ruins. This is its pride and its sorrow.Because a nation that is good at creating is not good at holding on, the Lord of God, at its most glorious time, let wars invade everything about it.The civilization and wisdom of the Chinese nation are like leeks being cut one by one. Every time it is cut, it has to start all over again. Every time it is cut, the wisdom and wealth of the ancestors are damaged.Precious books were used as fire starters, and ingenious farm tools were lost in the long river of history.

Without even thinking about it, Ma Chao knew that the loss of the columbine car was directly related to Wang Mang's usurpation of power.Because he knows too well the damage caused by the war to the Chinese nation.

"A columbine car only needs a curved frame, a few coulters, and a few seed legs for sowing. Such a simple and effective tool, why didn't the arsenal propose to restore it?" The principle of the columbine car is very simple, almost Saying it makes no sense at all.Just rely on the strength of the plowshare and the speed of manpower and animal power to cultivate the seeds.After hearing Zheng Hun's explanation, Ma Chao knew that he was wrong to blame Zheng Hun.

"My lord, it's not that someone didn't think of this, but it's easy to restore the car, but the promotion and application needs to be done by the lord. In those days, you were in Chang'an, so after submitting the report to the provincial government for review, you haven't done it yet. Order the Ministry of Public Affairs to come up with a concrete promotional decree..." Zheng Hun is somewhat enthusiastic about officialdom, but this is also his strength.And Ma Chao asked him to assist Han Feng in managing the technical aspects of the arsenal because he valued that he knew more about people and the world than those pure craftsmen.

And this answer is indeed in line with the thinking of ancient farmers.They are so industrious, they would rather sow the seeds with their own hands, and let the crops that germinate and grow into plants gather together to compete with each other for water, sunlight and nutrients, and they also have to endure the trouble of being unable to weed.But they are not willing to look for the wisdom of the sages.Because they think that this shows their sincerity and labor, and God will give them a good harvest.

Thinking of these, Ma Chao really felt that he could not fit into this era.Because there are indeed too many differences between him and the ancients, and these differences cannot be proved by reason and facts, but need a long time of subtle influence before they can be merged together.

Fortunately, the humble Chinese people still have a very inferior psychology, which is to obey power politics.Ma Chao is now the shepherd of Yongzhou, representing the most powerful power in Yongzhou. As long as Ma Chao uses his power to implement Yongzhou's agricultural reform, the people of Yongzhou will definitely practice it because of this undeniable reason.And this is a fact that cannot be expressed in words.

"Mr. Wen, it has already entered the deep winter season. With the new policy reforms promoted in all parts of Yongzhou, the barren land that needs to be reclaimed next year will increase a lot. My request for the arsenal is to vigorously develop farming in addition to ensuring the output quality of the Ma family's weapons. Equipment. At least, this columbine cart and drum cart must be developed by the end of this year!" Having said this, Ma Chao still didn't want Zheng Hun to be contaminated with too much officialdom, so he continued: "As for the promotion, you don't have to worry. I will order the Ministry of Education to issue a plan, which will be carried out by the Ministry of Finance." After regaining his mood,
"I obey!" For this request, Zheng Hun only felt his heart surging, and he agreed without any hesitation.After all, he is still a craftsman at heart, and his pursuit is to benefit the people and leave an eternal reputation.

But at this time, Ma Chao felt a little uncomfortable, because he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't had time to say his second tool.From this, he said insinuatingly: "Yongzhou's farming cattle, because of the relationship between the Han and Qiang trade offices, can basically be combined with one cattle per mile. It would be even better if one cattle could plow the farmland. "

In the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the administrative unit below the county level has three levels: township, pavilion, and li. Generally, one hundred households is one li, ten li is one pavilion, and ten pavilions is one township.The chiefs of the township are Zhi and the stingy husband, and you are in charge of security, the township assistant collects taxes, and the three elders are in charge of education; the chief of the pavilion is in charge of public security, and the chief of the village is Likui Lizheng), mainly self-governing governors elected by regions and clans.Officials in townships and pavilions are generally appointed and dismissed by higher-level organs such as county and county, except for Li Kui (Li Zheng), who are self-selected by the villagers.

During the busy time of farming, people like Lizheng organized the distribution of cattle and farm tools for orderly farming.The reason why Ma Chao proposed the idea of ​​farming with one ox is because at this time, the common people still used the "coupled plow" of two oxen and three people, that is, two oxen combined to pull one plow, one person pulled the ox, one pressed the shaft, and one It is said that the plow can cultivate five hectares of Han Han.

However, although Yongzhou is already a large state with cattle, it still does not meet the needs of timely farming during busy farming.Sometimes even the best sowing time is missed because of the barrier between the two sides.This situation was witnessed by Ma Chao when he went down to the ground occasionally.

"Master, if there is a columbine cart for sowing, one family can operate it. It's just that the plow plows the soil, but two oxen are needed to pull the plow at the same time. Although your idea is brilliant, it is difficult to realize." Zheng Hun waved his hand, Just as Ma Chao expected, he said these words.

And Ma Chao naturally smiled mysteriously: "What if I can also invent a coulter, so that one ox and one person can plow five hectares, and plow the land deeply, so as to achieve the purpose of intensive cultivation?"
