Chapter 904

Some people may think that if you have the strength to farm, what is the difficulty of farming... It’s really not easy!

Everyone knew that the Hetao Plain was a treasure land, so Lao Wen ran away happily, but when he saw that his nose almost became crooked.

Xixia also farmed here, but the problem is that their way of farming is to slash and fire, make a flat land, sow seeds, and then ignore it. By the time of harvest, it would be good to have dozens of kilograms of land per acre, and almost no more than one stone. You should know that the best water irrigated land can produce 3 stones of grain in the hands of farmers in the Song Dynasty.

The difference is too big!

Lao Wen knew that he had a specialty in his profession. He still didn't give up and sent people to supervise the turning of the land, cultivate the land, sowing, weeding, and even irrigation and harvesting.

After a while, the production has indeed increased a little, but the situation is still not optimistic.

Wen Yanbo sent someone to the field to see it, and he was even more angry.

During the autumn harvest, the slaves were given a sickle and asked them to cut the wheat ears. As a result, the group of people did not bend down, but just cut off the wheat ears on it and threw them into the ground.

As it rained, it was flooded with mud. It was estimated that the yield per mu would be lost at least 20%!

Lao Wen was completely speechless.

Good farmers are not cultivated in a day or two.

At least there will be no chance in the short term.

But Wen Yanbo is another person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He is eager to show off his achievements and fill his wallet. Secondly, since Wang Ning'an said that he will only work for five years. When Wang Ning'an goes down, his husband Wen will make a comeback!

Why do you want to rob the prime minister at that time? It depends on political achievements!

He can settle the Western Xia, get rid of the great troubles of the Song Dynasty, and then expand his territory and extract huge wealth. Then the emperor dares not ignore him!

If these lazy men were allowed to destroy his plans, Lao Wen would cry to death.

There is no way, he can only make a decision in China.

Coincidentally, Wang Ning'an needed to build a road and strengthen his labor. Wen Yanbo thought of this method, using the coolies from the Western Xia to exchange for the old peasants of the Song Dynasty, the best of both worlds.

Although Zhao Shu likes Wen Yanbo's actions very much, he also knows that this old guy is so mean. Will there be any problems with giving him the farmers?

Zhao Shu could only ask Wen Yanbo to wait for a while, and then make a decision after discussing.

Lao Wen was helpless, but he had to go back to the inn to obey the orders temporarily.

It was not until the third day that Wang Ning'an hurried over.

Originally, Wang Ning'an should have gone to the suburbs to welcome him, but the problem was that he went to survey the railway routes and ran back and forth. He had just returned yesterday. He went to see Zhao Shu in the morning and came to find Wen Yanbo in the afternoon.

The two of them have long been so familiar that they can't get along anymore, so they don't need to be polite.

"I can agree." Wang Ning'an said it very simply, "But I must send personnel to supervise the situation of farmers. You must settle people. If you treat farmers as slaves and exhaust people, I will participate in your life!"

"Hmph!" Wen Yanbo slapped the table and said angrily: "If you are surnamed Wang, don't deceive others too much. If you do this, do you want to send someone to supervise the coolie, and you are not allowed to kill the coolie... If someone dies, how about I impeach you?"

"casual!"

Wang Ning'an spread his hands, "If you think it's useful, it doesn't matter!"

Wen Yanbo was speechless.

"Okay, you are the one named Wang. I can't afford to offend you. I will treat you as a bunch of old men back! Who am I doing this for!" Wen Yanbo stamped his feet and beat his chest, "Wang Ning'an, you have to know that I am old, working hard, running around the stars and the moon, and running like this, my life is about to be taken in. Just nod and allocate hundreds of thousands of farmers to me. What can I do? It's all for the Song Dynasty. I swear to the heaven that if I intentionally kill someone, God will chop me!"

"Okay!"

Wang Ning'an waved his hand impatiently, "Brother Kuanfu, if there is really God, we can live to this day? You don't think it's embarrassing to be a child's trick, but I think it's a waste of effort!"

In one sentence, Lao Wen was blocked.

These days, we really pay attention to one thing to defeat another. Wen Yanbo made all kinds of plans and all kinds of ideas, but only Wang Ning'an is useless.

"Jingping... If I change farmers according to your requirements, I have to take care of them. The little food I grow every year will have too little harvest, which is not cost-effective... I won't change it."

Lao Wenben thought Wang Ning'an would be scared, but he didn't know that the old god was there, crossing his legs, as if he didn't hear it!

"Wang Erlang, I won't change it anymore!" Wen Yanbo raised his voice.

Wang Ning'an finally responded, and he smiled, "Brother Kuanfu, such a good place, if you get a lot of farmers, you will regret it."

Wen Yanbo snorted, "Okay, it's the same with raising sheep anyway. I don't care!"

Wang Ning'an waved his hand, "Brother Kuanfu, you didn't understand... This way, I'll let you see something!"

Wen Yanbo was unclear, so Wang Ning'an had already pulled his arm, and without saying a word, got on the carriage, came out of the west gate, and walked until dusk, before stopping in front of a building.

Looking up, the surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is excellent, and it is a distance from the capital. It is far away from the hustle and bustle, and it looks like a good place to cultivate one's own character.

Wang Ning'an enthusiastically introduced to Wen Yanbo that this was the first batch of technical schools he built.

The traditional academies were destroyed, and the science and engineering education that Wang Ning'an longed for finally blossomed everywhere. Among these students, there will be great inventors of the future, who are the power to change the world.

Today, Wang Ning'an was not interested in telling Wen Yanbo what new education he had. He pulled Lao Wen and went to the experimental area behind.

This is a wide open space, near the corner, there is about 20 acres of farmland. On the edge of the farmland, two huge things are parked.

Wen Yanbo walked closer and found that this thing had four huge wheels, similar to a carriage, and there was also a carriage on it, but the carriage was very large and there was a chimney, which was erected high.

What a bad thing is this?

Wen Yanbo was puzzled.

Wang Ning'an warmly introduced, "This is a tractor, our latest achievement... How to say it, Brother Kuanfu, you know the train, this thing is just a train that does not require rails."

Wen Yanbo looked carefully and hesitated: "It's similar to a carriage?"

"Well, but it's much more powerful than a carriage!"

"Then what's the use of this thing? Are you sitting there?"

"You can also cultivate land!"

"Planting land?" Wen Yanbo was shocked, "It's fresh. I just heard of using cattle and horses to plow the fields, some people to plow the fields, but I haven't heard of using tows... tractors. Can this work?" Lao Wen expressed doubts.

"Of course it can be done, come and demonstrate it to Xianggong Wen!"

With Wang Ning'an's order, a student immediately ran over.

The train research was successful, but it was actually only one step away from the tractor, and there were no insurmountable technical problems.

The West also broke through trains, tractors, ships, and the Song Dynasty's workers were even larger. Wang Ning'an also led the way. The time for the tractor to be released was naturally very advanced.

It’s just that this tractor is different from what I saw in later generations.

First of all, since it is driven by a steam engine, a driver needs to drive in the front and a coal-filled one after another. Behind the tractor is a pair of knives for plowing fields, and there is also a person standing on it to supervise the depth of plowing fields. In short, this is a very complicated and backward thing.

But at present, it's a magical tool!

When the boiler is burning, the steam is enough. As the driver operates, the tractor starts forward.

The sound was no longer described, it was earth-shaking, and my ears were deaf, and the black smoke was rolling, making people cough. If Wang Ning'an hadn't been beside him, Wen Yanbo would have wanted to turn around and leave.

What a broken thing, it’s stupid, big, black and thick, and it’s worth a look at me!

After a while, Wen Yanbo finally changed color, and even went from being stunned to ecstasy.

He found that the tractor entered the farmland area and started moving forward. The knives behind turned the soil. The tractor rolled forward and could turn about 8 to 10 ridges at a time. In other words, one tractor could support 8 bulls!

And only three people are enough. You must know that using ox plows requires two people in front and behind. Wen Yanbo quickly calculated that a tractor can support 8 oxen, plus 15 labor!

What is the most lacking in the Hetao Plain at present? Isn’t it just a skilled farmer?

"Miscellaneous, it's really wonderful!" Wen Yanbo's eyes lit up.

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Apart from the coal filling work, women can drive tractors, and they don't eat grass, and don't rest. As long as they are not broken, they can keep working... Brother Kuanfu, aren't you going to develop Hetao and farm? Think about it, this tractor can match many farmers!"

"Stop talking, I want it!"

Wen Yanbo waved his fist hard, "You open a price. Didn't I give you an order last time? Just so happens that there are coal mines in Xixia, so let's do it. Get 1,000 vehicles first and you'll need them immediately!"

Wen Yanbo couldn't wait.

But Wang Ning'an was embarrassed, "That... Brother Kuanfu, let's talk slowly."

Wen Yanbo sank his old face, "Wang Erlang, do you still want to make a mistake? I tell you, you should not be too much. I am for the good of the Song Dynasty... Otherwise, we will attack the lawsuit to Your Majesty. The day before yesterday, Your Majesty also gave me... a pillar stone of the country... a plaque. Do you treat the important ministers of the Song Dynasty like this?"

In desperation, Wen Yanbo pulled Zhao Shu in. He really needed a tractor... Xixia is not short of cattle and sheep, but manpower is lacking!

This tractor is simply a magical tool!

"Brother Kuanfu, you misunderstood. I am not extorting you, but rather, this thing is not yet mature."

"What does it mean?" Lao Wen was puzzled.

"It's just that accidents are very easy." As soon as Wang Ning'an finished speaking, a crack sound came from over there... Then a stream of black smoke flew into the air and the tractor broke down...

Wen Yanbo's face turned black, and he calculated silently. From the beginning of the farmland to the position where he broke down, it was only 50 meters away. This distance was broken. I still hoped that I would pay for it and dream!

Wen Yanbo turned around and left, not even willing to say a word!
Chapter completed!
