Chapter 150 Improved Farm Tools

Jiang Wen was surprised. Although he had drawn the drawings, the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became. For the two brothers of the Lin family, this might just be an agricultural tool that made it easier for them to reclaim wasteland, but he was a scholar and thought that he had

He wanted to serve the imperial court as an official.

They didn't know how powerful this farm tool was, but he knew that once the farm tools on the drawings were successfully made, it would be a great invention for the entire Great China Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen's rough finger bones unconsciously grasped the blueprint. Once this agricultural tool is successful, it will accelerate the development of agriculture. If it can be popularized, so many people will starve to death...

Jiang Yan looked at the excitement and shock in Jiang Wen's eyes. She knew what Jiang Wen was thinking of. Jiang Wen was a farmer and a student. Although his family was pampered and he never participated in farming, he was still a rural person and his thoughts were more from the perspective of the common people.

For the Lord, that’s why I became so eager after I understood this drawing.

Jiang Yan asked Jiang Wen to draw a few more drawings of plows. With the communication of several people and Jiang Yan's deliberate guidance, the drawings gradually turned into the Quyuan plow in her memory.

The development of plows here is quite common, and has reached the point where every village has a long straight-shaft plow. However, this kind of plow is not flexible enough to turn around when plowing the land, it is laborious to lift the soil, and it is not very efficient, while the curved-shaft plow is much lighter.

When Jiang Yan returned to the countryside, she saw many people using this short-shaped curved shaft plow, also known as the Jiangdong plow. Compared with the previous plows, the curved shaft plow has several major improvements.

First, the straight and long shafts were changed to curved and short shafts, and a plow plate that could rotate freely was installed on the shaft head. This not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitated U-turns and turns, flexible operation, and saved manpower and livestock.

.

Nowadays, this method is most suitable for plowing paddy fields. One person can plow several acres of land in one day.

"Thanks to Xiaowen. Fortunately, you are good at drawing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to draw it even if we tried hard." Jiang Yan didn't want to take credit. She deliberately brought a few of them with her so that someone could tell them how many they were in the future.

The child came up with it, and she was just a participant.

Jiang Wen shook his head secretly. Others may not know it, but he knows better than anyone else how smart and astute his little aunt is. Although everyone discussed this drawing together, her little aunt almost played the role of guiding and taking the lead. Many key parts, if not

Who can draw her?

"I don't know if the carpenters in our village can make it." Jiang Yan murmured. She remembered that the cripple uncle in the village was also a carpenter. The dustpan and steamer were custom-made by him. She didn't know if he could make these farm tools.

"Mom, Uncle Cripple can do it. Looking at this drawing, I feel that I can cut it out myself, but it will take some time." Lin Dong put the drawing away and continued: "I will go to Uncle Cripple to elaborate on this later.

The columbine cart is rather complicated. We don’t open up wasteland now, so if we don’t worry, let’s get the plow first.”

Lin Dong himself knew some carpentry work, he cut all the farm tools at home, and made baskets and dustpans one by one, so he was sure of this.

Jiang Yan nodded and naturally trusted Lin Dong: "No problem, let's name this thing Qu Yuuli."

Lin Nan scratched his head and said in confusion: "Why is it called this? We are a family working on it. I think it sounds better to call it Jiang Jiali."

When Jiang Yan heard this, her thoughts changed and she immediately said: "This is too casual, so let's call it Quyuanli, also known as Jiangdongli."

Jiang Wen nodded immediately, and after turning the two names in his mouth twice, he continued: "These names are all good, just as my aunt said."

He thought for a while and continued: "Little aunt, if this farm tool can be made, it will be twice the result with half the effort. When you go to find a carpenter to build it, you must keep the drawings carefully to avoid any loopholes."

"Ah?" The Lin family brothers looked confused. Is there any loophole that can be exploited?

When Jiang Wen saw this, he said even more seriously: "The value of this blueprint is immeasurable. You must be careful not to let others know."

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Wen's serious face, clicked her tongue in her heart, and said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Xiao Wen, I know what you mean, if the farm tools on this drawing can be made, there must be no way to hide them.

, if it is really useful, all the people in our village, even the entire Yong'an Town, can use it."

"!!" Jiang Wen looked shocked, even a little overly excited: "Little aunt, you may not understand the importance of this blueprint. It may be able to earn more money than you make in business!

"

Jiang Yan didn't speak this time, she just smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes shimmered, and she said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wen, you have to understand that money is important, it can make us eat well and wear warm clothes, but it is not the measure of everything.

standard."

Jiang Wen was startled, his eyes fell on the drawing, he was narrow-minded.

"You have the heart of a gentleman, and you are brave enough to dare the world. You have studied the books of sages diligently, and you have a strong balance in your heart. If this blueprint is sold to a powerful person, the common people may not be able to use it. We are not short of money now, so why bother?

Let’s take this trip.” Jiang Yan considered her words and said to a few people.

"However, it is better for our family to come up with it first. If it is useful, we will tell the village. In this way, everyone will find it useful and it will gradually become popular."

It is difficult for the boss to accept new things, just like planting late rice. If Li Zheng and the village chief hadn't urged them, the village wouldn't have planted them all. Before seeing real results, everyone would only dare to try it.

, a small test of the skill.

Column carts are different from curved-column plows, which are related to farmers' harvest results throughout the year, especially columbine carts. If the planting is affected when planting seeds, and the seedlings do not emerge or grow, there is really no place to cry.

"Little aunt, I think too much." Jiang Wen lowered his head slightly, a little depressed.

Jiang Yan patted his shoulder. She could also analyze Jiang Wen's thoughts clearly. Young people want to catch both ends, thinking about benefiting the people and profit and reputation. There are so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds.

"Xiao Wen, if you become an official in the future, you must not lose your original intention. Money is important, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. During this period, you have been restless. I see that you have difficulty settling down when you are studying. But what's the matter?

Heart knot?"

Jiang Wen raised his eyes and met his little aunt's gaze. At that moment, it was as if his little aunt was about to see through his heart.

He pursed his lips slightly and said with some difficulty: "Since the last time I met my little aunt at Wuming Bookstore, my heart feels like a big stone has been stuffed into it, and my mind is even more messy. My heart is full of barriers and I can't help it.

Relief, many things have been stagnant."
