Chapter 424 Qu Yuanli and Improved Chariot
A light and short curved shaft plow, also known as Jiangdong plow.However, it has nothing to do with Jiangdong in this era.It first appeared in the Dongjiang area in the late Tang Dynasty, and its appearance is a sign of the maturity of the Chinese nation's farming tools.

"We are using this kind of long straight shaft plow at this time." In the arsenal, let alone a coupling plow, Ma Chao would not be surprised at any time when he took out Guan Erye's Qinglongyanyue knife.After all, the arsenal is really all-encompassing these days.After speaking, Ma Chao squatted down, pointed to the coulter of the long straight shaft plow and continued: "These long straight coulters make it difficult to turn around and turn around when plowing the land, and it takes a lot of effort to raise the soil, so the efficiency is not very high."

"My lord, do you want to improve this coulter?" Zhou Maitian had no interest in the coulter and coulter, and was still immersed in the experiment of the coulter.The one who said this was Zheng Hun, who was more tolerant.

"That's right," Ma Chao pointed at Zhou Maitian's imitated river at this time and said, "I said just now that goodness is like water, and it is a famous river and mountain that is abundant but without front. Does Mr. Wen know the reason for this?"

Zheng Hun's face became serious. He stared carefully at Zhou Maitian who was pouring water from the broken basin over and over again. He frowned, but finally he replied dejectedly: "I'm a lowly person with little talent and little knowledge. If something happens, I still hope that the Lord will show you how to do it." .”

"The flow of water will infiltrate all things. The plowing of the soil is also the same principle. As long as we can imitate the long straight coulter into the shape of the water flow, the plow body can swing during operation, which is full of maneuverability. It is convenient for deep plowing, light and soft, and good for maneuvering..."

Hearing what Ma Chao said, Zheng Hun seemed to be enlightened. He got up and ran to Zhou Maitian, scooped up a bowl of water from the basin, poured it on the ground, and wanted to see what the water looked like.At this time, Ma Chao felt a little guilty: Although Qu Yuanli did have some relationship with Jiangdong's paddy fields, isn't it a bit too hateful for him to fool Zheng Hun like this?
Sure enough, after Zheng Hun sprinkled a few bowls of water, he came over with a sad face, and said in shame: "My lord, I really don't know the shape of this water..."

"Water flow is invisible, so how can someone imitate it. But as long as the long straight plow is changed to a curved short plow, the efficiency of soil plowing can be greatly increased. And..." Ma Chao squatted down again, pointing at the long straight plow. The bottom of the plow said: "Here, you can also add plows and plows. If you push the plow, you can make the arrow of the plow go down, and the plowshare will go deep into the soil. If you lift the plow, you can make the arrow of the plow go up, and the plowshare will go into the soil." It is shallow. The organic combination of the plow commentary, plow arrow and plow construction of the coupled plow can meet the different requirements of deep or shallow plowing, and can standardize the adjustment of the depth of the cultivated land, which is convenient for intensive cultivation. The plow wall can not only break the soil , and can push the plowed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plow to advance.”

Listening to this, Zheng Hun was already in admiration for Ma Chao: "My lord, could it be that he really descended from heaven? Why do you not only know the mysteries of Su iron, refined salt purification, and glass, but you also know so much about farming..."

Ma Chao's face was as thick as the city wall of Fufeng, and he didn't blush at all.Instead, with an expression of melancholy and hatred for iron and steel, he said with a bit of pain: "Wenshan, everything in the world has something to learn and improve. I am not descended from heaven, but I just have more observation eyes than you. And a brain that loves to think. And you, as a silver master in the arsenal, are only working behind closed doors in this ten-mile place, really..."

"My lord taught me a lesson very well, and I will keep my humble position in my heart. In the future, I will definitely watch and think more, and live up to my lord's expectations." Zheng Hun kowtowed and blamed himself, his expression was quite pious.

"Well, it's not just you, all craftsmen in the arsenal must have this idea of ​​innovation and improvement. The promotion and salary increase system in our arsenal is not written to make everyone hope... nothing." Yi Deser, Ma Chao almost said the idiom "Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst", but fortunately he realized that Boss Cao hadn't fooled his subordinates at this time, so he changed his words in time.

"The humble official understands." Although these words were extremely plain, Ma Chao believed that Zheng Hun had already remembered them deeply in his heart.And through the precepts and deeds of his chief technical supervisor and subtle influence, the innovative thinking of the entire arsenal must be gradually improved.From this, Ma Chao felt complacent again, and said, "Well, you must make these two things, the columbine cart and the Quyuan plow, before next year's spring plowing, so that they can be used by the people of Yongzhou. Feng is going to ask for it. As for the bobbin car, we will set up two pilot sites first, and I will naturally let the newly established Ministry of Industry take charge of this matter in the future."

After saying this, Ma Chao originally planned to withdraw his efforts and go back.But Zheng Hun suddenly thought of something again, he used his grasping hand no less than Zhou Maitian, grabbed Ma Chao's cuff and said: "My lord, the arsenal has thoroughly researched the chariot you sent a few days ago, and returned it to you." Made some small improvements, I don't know..."

"Oh?" Hearing the news, Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Lead the way ahead!"

As he said that, he glanced at Zhou Maitian who was still playing in the water, and Ma Chao smiled strangely again: This guy, it seems that he will have snacks in the future.However, should he get him to the Ministry of Industry as a technical supervisor, or to the Ministry of War as a coach?
Abandoning the immature thoughts in his mind, Ma Chao has already passed through the forging house and came to the warehouse. He opened the door and saw that what was displayed in front of him was the heavy-duty car led by Dong Cheng during the Battle of Gongwu!

However, after careful observation, Ma Chao found that this heavy-duty chariot was indeed improved. The big halberd in front of the body was replaced with three large lances, one long and two short, to ensure the continuous collision of the chariot. power.And the straight stabs on the shaft were also changed to Su Tie barbs, which not only had more power in breaking defenses, but also increased their lethality a lot.

What surprised Ma Chao even more was that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, the two cold-blooded butchers, actually added another seat beside the driver, with a simple version of a crossbow cart placed in front of it!It can be imagined that once these chariots attack, they only need to line up and launch a suicide attack. No matter what kind of elite troops they are, they will be frightened and frightened!
Of course, in terms of other defenses, Zheng Hun has also modified it so that the entire chariot is like an ancient tank, solid and impenetrable, such a violent visual impact, it made Ma Chao fantasize that these chariots were thrown into the battlefield The terrifying power!
It wasn't until after watching it over and over again that Ma Chao realized that Pu Yuan and Han Feng were also there.As a result, Ma Chao asked Han Feng, "How many chariots does the Ma family have now?"

Han Feng's face darkened for a while, and he was very speechless to Ma Chao's question: "My lord, this is the first improved chariot. If the improvements are made as soon as possible, after ten days, there should be about [-] chariots. I am afraid it will take some time to produce directly at home, after all, the manpower of the arsenal is already somewhat insufficient..."

"Fifty vehicles?" Ma Chao exclaimed, "Fifty vehicles can almost control a small battle... It seems that the Ma's Armory is about to usher in the second expansion."

Han Feng, Zheng Hun, and Pu Yuan couldn't help but smile when they heard the words, and they clasped their fists together and said at the same time: "My lord is wise!"
