Chapter 426 Car

With the burst of ideas brought by the barrel car, many outstanding representatives of ancient farming utensils flashed in Ma Chao's mind. After screening, Ma Chao believes that there are two tools that can be used in the farming industry in Yongzhou next year.

Before entering Chang'an, in a farm, planting crop seeds was actually the most primitive hand-sowing. Isn't there a car in this era?"

In fact, Ma's arsenal is now more than just arsenal manufacturing. More actually, this arsenal is already the scientific research center of the Ma family. Whether it is military, agricultural, or even political construction, it is developed and manufactured by the arsenal.

Ma Chao has always put arsenals first among Ma's industries such as Ma's farms, arsenals, pastures and shops. Because he knows that technology is always the first factor driving social production.

"Car?" Zheng Hun was stunned at first, and then said, "But during the period of Emperor Wu, Zhao Guo did the method of surrogate the field to increase the production of dry fields?"

"Yes, it is also the sharp weapon mentioned in Cui Wei's "Correctence" that can sow 67 acres a day, called a car." Speaking of this, Ma Chao's face was a little heavy, and he stared at Zheng Hun and said slowly, "It's only two hundred years since Emperor Wu has disappeared, right?"

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

The demon of war, the greatest nation on the planet with iron hoofs, sabers and blood. The Chinese nation is good at building buildings from the ruins, which is its pride and its sadness. Because the nation that is good at creation is not good at sticking to it, the Lord of God let war invade everything at its most glorious time. The wisdom of Chinese civilization is like a leek 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 is hurt once. Precious books are regarded as ignitions, and clever farm tools are annihilated in the long river of history.

Ma Chao knew that the loss of the car was directly related to Wang Mang's usurpation of politics without even thinking. Because he knows too much about the harm of the war on the Chinese nation.

"All you need is a curved frame, a few plow knives, and a few legs for sowing. Why didn't the arsenal propose to restore such a simple and effective appliance? The principle of the car is very simple, and it can almost be said that it has no principle at all. It's just relying on the strength of the plough and the speed of human and animal power to cultivate the seeds. After listening to Zheng Hun's explanation, Ma Chao knew that he was a little wrong.

"Master, 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 master. At that time, you were in Chang'an again, so after submitting the report to the provincial for review, you have not ordered Zhongshu Province to come up with a practical promotion decree..." Zheng Hun is a little enthusiastic about officialdom, but this is also his advantage. Ma Chao asked him to assist Han Feng in managing the technical aspects of the arsenal, which valued him as more sophisticated than those pure craftsmen.

And this answer is indeed in line with the thoughts of ancient farmers. They are so hardworking that they would rather sow their own hands, let the crops that sprout and grow into plants gather together to compete for water, sunlight and nutrition, and endure the trouble of inability to weed. But he is unwilling to look for the wisdom of the sages. Because they think that this shows their sincerity and hard work, and God will give them a bumper harvest.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao really felt that he could not integrate into this era. Because he does have too many differences with the ancients, and these differences are not proved by reason and facts, but must take a long time to merge.

Fortunately, the humble Chinese people also have a very poor mentality, which is to obey the politics of power. Ma Chao is now a pastor of Yongzhou, representing the strongest power of Yongzhou. As long as Ma Chao uses his power to carry out the agricultural reform of Yongzhou, the people of Yongzhou will definitely continue to practice for this irresistible reason. And this is a fact that cannot be expressed in words.

"Wen Gong, now has entered the deep winter season. With the new policy reform promoted in all parts of Yongzhou, the wasteland that needs to be reclaimed will increase a lot next year. My requirement for the arsenal is to vigorously develop farming equipment in addition to ensuring the output quality of Ma's weapons. At least, this car and tube car must be developed by the end of this year!" After saying this, Ma Chao still didn't want Zheng Hun to be contaminated with too much official atmosphere, so he continued to say, "As for the promotion, you don't have to worry. I will order Zhongshu Province to issue a plan and implement it by Shangshu Province." After the mood recovers,

"I'm obedient!" Zheng Hun only felt surging about this request and agreed without any hesitation. After all, he is still a craftsman from the bone, and it is his pursuit to seek the welfare of the people and leave a reputation for thousands of years.

But at this time, Ma Chao felt a little uncomfortable, because he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had not had time to say his second tool. From this, he said insinually, "Because of the relationship between the Hanqiang Trade Institute, the farming cattle in Yongzhou can basically be combined to one ox. If an ox can plow the farmland, it will be even better.

In the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the administrative orders below the county are three levels: townships, pavilions and li. Generally, 100 households are one li, ten miles are one pavilion, and ten pavilions are one township. The magistrates of the township are ranks and stingy husbands, with the responsibilities of Youyi in charge of public security, collecting taxes in the townships, and in charge of education; the pavilion is set up a pavilion chief in charge of public security, which is in charge of Tinghou and Ting soldiers; the governor in Likui (Lizheng), which is mainly an autonomous chief elected according to the region and clan. Officials of townships and pavilions are generally appointed and removed by counties, counties and other superior organs, but Likui (Lizheng) is selected by the villagers themselves.

And during the busy farming hours, these people are allocating cattle farming tools for orderly farming. The reason why Ma Chao put forward the idea of farming a cow is that at this time, the people still use the 'coupled plough' of two cattle and three people, that is, two cows together, pulling one plough together, one cow, one person pressing the s, and one ploughing the plough. It is said that it can be five hectares of Hanmu.

Although Yongzhou is already a large state with cattle farming, it still does not meet the needs of busy farming in time. Sometimes even because of the gap between the two miles, the best sowing period is missed. This situation was seen with his own eyes when Ma Chao occasionally went to the ground.

"Master, if there is a car to sow, it can be operated by one family. It's just that the plow needs two cows to pull the plow at the same time. Your idea is wonderful, but it is difficult to realize. Zheng Hun waved his hand and said this as Ma Chao expected.

And the horse smiled supernaturally and mysteriously: "What if I can still invent a plow knife, so that a cow can turn five hectares of ploughs, and also deep over the land to achieve the purpose of intensive cultivation?"
