Chapter 142 Bandits are rampant
The plow is very familiar to Li Shimin, but the plow in front of him does not have a plow, a plow rudder, a plow shaft and other structures!
The structure is simple, and the plow tip can be seen. This is to control the direction by hand, but why is it directly connected to the plow shovel?

Shouldn't the plow shaft be placed on both sides of the ox's shoulders?Is this too short?

"Your Majesty, this is a new plow!"

Li Xiao explained slowly and unhurriedly that the current plow, even the Quyuan plow, has not yet appeared, and what Li Xiao made is directly the plow that can be seen everywhere in the countryside in the future. This progress and change is really great. So much so that Li Shimin couldn't believe that this guy would be a plow!

Now the common plow in the north is still a straight-shaft plow. The two shafts are directly connected to the shoulders of the ox like a carriage shaft. One can imagine how much the ox's flexibility will be reduced and how much its strength can be displayed!

"In the new plow, a curved yoke is placed on the shoulder of the ox, and the two sides of the yoke are connected to the plow pan with hemp rope, and then the ox can walk in the field!

If you want to control the depth of the plow, you only need to lift the tip of the plow lightly, or press down on the tip of the plow slightly, and you can perfectly control the depth of the plow! "

Li Shimin and Wang Gonggong, including Steward Zhou, all nodded their heads. It is convenient and concise, which means cheap. Isn't it possible for three or two families to buy one, which can greatly improve the farming efficiency.

Unlike before, a village uses a straight shaft plow, and some villages can't afford a plow at all!
"The plow and shovel can also be made of wood. Of course, hard wood must be used. More importantly, the condition of the soil needs to be considered. If it is used in the Guanzhong Plain, a wooden plow and shovel is sufficient.

If there are too many gravels in the ground, the wooden plow and shovel will not last long, and iron is better! "

Li Shimin's eyes became even brighter when he heard that it could be made entirely of wood. Iron plows and shovels can be bought by three or five households. A new plow?

There are not many things this year, but there is a lot of wood. Even if good wood is expensive, isn’t it good to use poor wood and change a plow and shovel every year?

What is this worth?Go to the mountains to cut wood by yourself, and give it to a carpenter for a few pennies at most to make it!

But then Li Shimin thought of a question, his excited brows furrowed instantly, and he said in a low voice, "Master Zan, your new plow is really good! I'm afraid it has surpassed this era for hundreds of years!"

Li Xiao complained silently, this is not a hundred years, it is a thousand years!Qu Yuanli has ruled the field farming for nearly a thousand years!
"But there is one more problem!" How excited Li Shimin was just now, how disappointed he is now!

Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin's frowning face, wondering what he was thinking, "Your Majesty, what's the problem?
"Looking at the plow in front of me, there is no problem. This plow and the plow in the south of the later generations cannot be said to be acquainted, they are exactly the same!
Li Shimin pointed to the hemp rope on the plow pan and said, "To plow the field now, at least two people are needed. One is pulling the front and the other is behind to adjust the depth of the plow. This is only done by cattle that have worked in the field for many years." At this point, if the cattle are not familiar with the work, at least three people are needed to go to the field!

This is still the case of the straight shaft, and the cow does not have much room to move. Now this new plow has only two hemp ropes. Does it still spin around dissatisfied?
What a pity!

"Hahaha!" Li Xiao understood. It turned out that he was worried that the cow would not be easy to control!
"Master Zan, what are you laughing at? Let go if you fart, don't look like a sneer!" Li Xiao hurriedly shut up and laughed at the emperor, but it's not good to laugh at the emperor, "Your Majesty, your worries are unnecessary I've figured out a way to control the cow!" Then Li Xiao explained the importance of the cow's nose ring again!
Seeing what Li Xiao said so miraculously, Li Shimin directly asked Steward Zhou to bring the calf with the cow's nose ring over.

Li Shimin went straight to him and pulled the rope. The calf was just mooing and venting its dissatisfaction, but Li Shimin wanted it to go to the left, but it didn't dare to go to the right!
"Sure enough! Hahahaha" Li Shimin was playing with the calf excitedly, Li Xiao quickly stopped it, "Your Majesty, the calf's nose ring wound has not healed yet, you, don't play for too long."" Okay, okay, I don’t need this cow, Lao Zhou hastened to find the most obedient old cow, I want to try this new plow now!” Steward Zhou turned over to lead the cow, Li Shimin blinked and asked with concern, "Master praise, this plow, does it have a name?" Seeing this imposing appearance, Li Xiao knew that some people were secretly planning something!

Li Xiao deliberately stretched for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, this plow appeared in the Zhenguan period. Let's call him Zhenguanli. What do you think?" "Zhenguanli." Li Shimin chewed these three words!Once this plow is popularized, it will be used by people all over the world, and this plow will not only be used for a few short years, it must be able to be used for hundreds of thousands of years.

In other words, once this plow is popularized, people of later generations will definitely know the word Zhenguan, and will definitely remember Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin!

In the past and present, how many names of emperors have disappeared in the long river of history?Now I have an opportunity to let my name be passed down forever, it is so beautiful to think about it!
Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled, "Niu Aiqing's suggestion is very pertinent, and I have adopted it!" Li Xiao watched Li Shimin finish his sentence, and then began to lust again. This old guy won't want to go whoring again? Damn it, I I won't agree!

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiao's eyes, and comforted him slowly, "Don't worry, don't worry, the benefits are indispensable to you, and I will reward you when Zheng's business is done, we are not stingy people!" Li Shimin was about to continue talking, looking When Steward Zhou moved an old ox, he couldn't wait to go forward and place the curved yoke. After it was tied firmly, he lightly waved the whip in his hand, and the old ox took steady steps.

Li Shimin tried to lightly lift the tip of the plow, and pressed it forward, increasing the depth of the plow.

After pressing the tip of the plow, the tip of the plow shovel goes up, and then controls the force, and the depth of the soil is reduced. It is really easy to use. It is just Li Xiao’s explanation, and he can operate it easily. The key is that one cow, one person, one plow , This is simply the gospel of the Tang people!
And after Li Shimin tried it, he found that another advantage was that the speed of plowing the land was significantly faster.

Under normal circumstances, such an old ox pulling a plow would have been exhausted and paralyzed long ago, but now he is still walking like flying.

The benefits and advantages are just too many!
In the time of two sticks of incense, Li Shimin had already plowed a one-acre piece of land. Looking at his masterpiece, Li Shimin clapped the soil on his hands with satisfaction.

"It's easy to use, it's so easy to use, Wang's servant, bring the plow back to Sinong Temple, and let them promote it nationwide immediately, and no one will stop you!" "Observe!" After receiving the order, the prince immediately ordered The guards took the things away first, and there should be no procrastination when doing errands in front of Li Shimin. The emperor's instructions must be done immediately!
