Chapter 206 Qu Yuanli Must Be Completed
Chapter 270 Qu Yuanli Must Be Completed
In one month, in addition to businessmen, the number of people who came to Qianzhou reached 10.

Under the huge flow of people, it represents business opportunities.

This is the same as tourist attractions in later generations. A scenic spot can attract countless people and bring huge economic benefits.

This is the situation in Qianzhou at present, and the twelve Jinshi is the best publicity. Because of this, more and more talents come to Qianzhou.

As soon as there are more people, all aspects of configuration must keep up. No matter what taverns, restaurants, and shops, everything that the guests need must be available.

Although there are no scenic spots in Qianzhou, those novel buildings have caught the eyes of the people.

Then, as soon as it was passed on to ten or ten to a hundred, more and more people knew about it, and rushed to Qianzhou with curiosity.

This is actually just the beginning, because Qianzhou Road is too difficult to walk, so many people are still hesitating. If Tang Zhidao is repaired, more people will come to Qianzhou!

In addition, many businessmen who came to Qianzhou brought something that surprised Li Chengqian.

That's cotton seed!
In the past, Li Shimin bought cotton everywhere in order to make cotton clothes to keep out the cold, and even scraped all the cotton in the entire Gaochang country.

Since then, cotton, a pure ornamental plant that was not valued at first, has entered the eyes of the common people.

However, the common people don't know what is the use of cotton, but something that can be reused by the emperor must be a good thing.

So many powerful businessmen began to buy cotton seeds from Gaochang State, and then began to plant them.

The first batch of cotton had already been harvested, and it turned out that no one wanted it.

Why...Because so far, not many people know what the use of cotton is. Li Shimin has not announced the method of making cotton clothes to the public, so they don't know what to do with the cotton.

Some businessmen saw that so much cotton was piled up, so they simply brought the cotton to Qianzhou, so that there might be windfalls.

It has to be said that what they did was a mistake. After Li Chengqian saw the cotton, he immediately asked people to buy all the cotton!

The price was not high, and all the cotton was bought, and it cost only a dozen guan, but for those merchants, they were relieved.

Cotton is their most failed investment. Although the loss is not much, it has a dark history.

That's why they are eager to sell. It doesn't matter how much they sell, as long as they can be sold.

A warehouse in the Dudu Mansion is full of cotton.

Zhuge Liang and Li Chengqian stood at the door of the warehouse, watching so much cotton inside, and remained silent.

"Your Highness, what is the use of this cotton?" Zhuge Liang was very puzzled.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The cotton has many functions. Its biggest function is to keep out the cold. Wearing it as clothes will definitely keep you warm. There are also quilts, which are much more comfortable than those animal furs! "

"Really?" Zhuge Liang looked at the cotton, but still couldn't figure out what it was for.

"This amount of cotton is too little, we need to grow more!" Li Chengqian said.

Zhuge Liang said thoughtfully: "None of us know how to plant this thing, so Your Highness..."

"... "

Li Chengqian instantly understood what he meant, "You don't mean you want me to plant it?"

Zhuge nodded, "Your Highness, none of us would plant this thing. If it is really important to you, you must do it yourself."

Li Chengqian sighed, "If other people know about this, they will laugh for a whole year!"

"No way, you are the only one who can plant." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"All right, all right, clean it up today, call more people tomorrow, and I'll teach them how to grow it myself. Cotton and sweet potatoes are the same, and they need to be promoted on a large scale, so they can't be sloppy."

...

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian sent people to load cotton and head out of the city.

Now Qianzhou has reclaimed millions of acres of wasteland, which has greatly increased the grain harvest, especially the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which has left many fields empty.

When Li Chengqian and the others went to the field outside, they found many farmers standing in the field.

Yesterday Zhuge Liang ordered the people to wait in the field, saying that King Qian would teach them to plant new things.

So early in the morning, they went to the fields.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, several people stepped forward, "Your Highness, what are you asking us to come here to plant?"

"Today we are planting something called cotton. If you can grow cotton well, you will definitely make a fortune in the future!" Li Chengqian said.

"Get rich?"

Hearing that there is money to be made, the common people instantly cheered up.

"Yes, don't worry, this king will never lie to you!" Li Chengqian said, "Let's plow the fields first."

"it is good!"

When the people heard the words, they immediately prepared to do a big job.

But at this moment, Li Chengqian discovered with sharp eyes that the plows used by the common people for plowing the fields were not Quyuan plows, but Zhiyuan plows.

The straight shaft plow is laborious to cultivate the land, which is one of the reasons why the reclamation of wasteland is slow.

Li Chengqian didn't notice this before, but now that he thought about it, he realized that there was a big problem.

Zhiyuanli is not only laborious, but also inefficient... Who is the person who invented Quyuanli, and why hasn't he done it yet?
Since he didn't invent it, Li Chengqian could only do it himself.

Quyuanli, Li Chengqian has a little impression. He doesn't know how to make Quyuanli, but he vaguely remembers that he seems to have signed the blueprint.

…Anyway, it has to be there regardless of whether it is signed in or not, so the process is not important.

After searching in the warehouse for a while, I saw a blueprint in the corner, which was indeed Qu Yuanli's blueprint.

The curved shaft plow is actually similar to the straight shaft plow, except that the straight shaft is changed to a curved shaft, and a plow disc that can rotate freely is installed on the shaft head.

The function of the curved shaft plow is to make the plow frame smaller and lighter, easy to turn around and turn, flexible to operate, and save manpower and livestock.

Therefore, Quyuanli must be rectified.

Holding the blueprints, Li Chengqian went to the Military Weapons Department where he hadn't been for a long time.

After seeing the drawings, a group of tool people inside started to do what tool people should do without the slightest hesitation.

In just two hours, a Quyuanli was built.

Holding the Quyuan plow he made, Li Chengqian returned to the field again, and then asked someone to move a cow, tied it with a rope, and then waved the whip in his hand.

The cow was hit once and started to move.

The people nearby all looked at him blankly, not understanding the difference between this plow and the Zhiyuan plow.

Li Chengqian supported Qu Yuanli and walked forward slowly.

The plow shovel was firmly inserted into the soil, and the soil was turned up from the ground, and then driven by the plow wall, the soil was turned to the left and right.

After pulling the plow around and returning to the starting point, Li Chengqian stopped and said to the people: "This thing is called Quyuanli, which is similar to Zhiyuanli, but it is more convenient. The king just tried it, and it really works. .”

At this moment, the onlookers were already stunned, because Li Chengqian's speed was too fast, and the efficiency of using this Quyuanli was twice as fast as that of Zhiyuanli.

The most important thing is that after Qu Yuanli plowed, he could turn back!
