My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

In the field, one person was driving cattle and the other was holding the plow. They turned back to Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan on the field ridge and shouted: "General Qin, Mrs. Qin, let's start!"

Qin Junyi waved his hand, and the two officially started plowing.

After just a few steps, the onlookers' long-term workers all opened their eyes wide: "The digging is so deep! The speed is also very fast!"

The man holding the plow laughed and said, "That's not all. It's effortless for me to control this plow. It's not much easier than plowing the land by myself!"

Su Yunwan watched for nearly a quarter of an hour, and after confirming that the Quyuan plow was working well, he asked two long-term workers to open up the wasteland where the fire had been manually controlled and the weeds had been burned away.

On the wasteland, sharp steel plowshares cut through the wasteland, leaving neat ravines. Even if the speed of plowing the land has decreased, it is still much faster than manual work.

The long-term workers who were watching were very excited. With this curved shaft plow, they no longer have to rely on hoes to plow the fields, and their backs and backs are so tired!

Qin Junyi: "Immediately send a message to the county government, mobilize all carpenters in the county, and concentrate their efforts on building a curved shaft plow."

When Chu Yi heard the news, he came to Beiling Village in person and happened to see the long-term workers who were still plowing the fields.

Based on the calculation of the fields that have been plowed, ten acres of fields can be plowed per day!

If it can be vigorously promoted throughout Yanyun County, why worry about not having enough land for cultivation? !

But he faced a big problem: plowing with iron plows and oxen was inseparable from animal power. The dozen or so cows we currently own are not enough.

Qin Junyi waved his hand and used the three thousand idle army horses for emergency relief.

There is a lot of dry land in the north, and horse farming is more suitable than ox farming.

Relying on military horses and bent plows, the cultivated land in Yanyun County was in full swing.

The freed manpower is used to build water conservancy projects to ensure the water needs of crops.

Not long after, all the people under the rule divided the farmland that had been plowed by households according to each person's share of five acres of land.

Those who still have some money to spare can go to the official land and pay only 40% of the rent.

These tenant rents, which were at least 20% lower than those in other areas, attracted a large number of tenant farmers from outside the city.

Due to the large loss of tenant farmers, the wealthy gentry families reported Yanyun County to the government, but the government had no time to deal with them.

Yanyun County has always been a place of focus for the state government. As soon as the Quyuan plow came out, they quickly got the news and immediately realized that the plow was extraordinary.

To this end, Mr. Dongfang personally led a team to Beiling Village for inspection.

After seeing the effect of plowing, an official in the team immediately asked the Qin family to submit the design drawings.

Qin Junyi snorted coldly: "Are you still dreaming before you wake up?"

The official shouted: "Bold..."

"Shut up!" Before he could say any other threatening words, Mr. Dongfang scolded him, "You have nothing to do here. Go back to the government office immediately!"

"But......"

"There is no but." Mr. Dongfang's voice was calm, but there was no room for doubt.

The second-in-command in the state capital did not dare not listen to what he said, so he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Mr. Dongfang shook his feather fan and said in a gentle manner: "General Qin, this improvement in plowing technology is extraordinary. If it can be promoted, it will be a credit to the country. Of course, I also know that there is no good thing in the world that comes without hard work. Please open it." A condition."

Qin Junyi: "First of all, I would like to ask Mr. Dongfang, if you get Quyuanli, are you going to serve the wealthy gentry or the common people?"

Mr. Dongfang was stunned, "It's not about scarcity but about inequality. In the past, the yamen didn't have enough iron farm tools to distribute, so we had to rent them out to show fairness."

"But in this way, all good tools fall into the hands of rich and powerful people, and the conditions of the people still have not been improved."

"What does General Qin mean?"

"I can provide the drawings of the Quyuan plow for free, but your method of helping farmers needs to change. Set up a small profit rent and give it to ordinary people on credit without interest. The rent will be recovered when the autumn harvest and taxes are paid. As for those powerful and wealthy households , let them pay for it themselves.”

Mr. Dongfang pondered for a moment and agreed.

Qin Junyi: "Then you can bring the design drawings back later, or you can send carpenters over to learn. In fact, the design of the curved shaft plow is not complicated, but the parts are fine, especially the plowshare, which is best made of high-quality iron."

"Making high-quality iron is easier said than done." After Mr. Dongfang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly brightened and he looked straight at Qin Junyi, "May I ask General Qin, are you able to mass-produce high-quality iron?"

Only in this way can a large number of curved shaft plows be produced in such a short period of time.

"That's right, if the government government needs it, it can also cooperate with us."

"I will make a decision after I go back to my mansion to discuss with Mr. Zhou Mu." Mr. Dongfang paused and wanted to ask Jingtie about it. Thinking that there were still outsiders around, he swallowed the words.

He took the design drawings and hurried back to the government office. He was blocked by powerful and wealthy households who came to complain, "Sir Changshi, you have to make the decision for us! If Yanyun County continues like this, our fertile land will be destroyed." But it’s all in ruins.”

Mr. Dongfang said: "This is not simple. As long as you reduce the tenant rent to 40% of the same as in Yanyun County, those tenant farmers will definitely not abandon the nearby for the distant."

"This, this, this...how can this happen?!"

"Yanyun County can do it, why can't you?"

After saying that, Mr. Dongfang asked his subordinates to stop a few people and went straight to meet Zhou Mu.

At that time, Zhou Mu was sitting on the grand master's chair in the office, feeling very complicated.

No matter how many agencies he had, he never expected that tens of thousands of people would migrate from Jizhou City and all of them would fall into the hands of the Qin family. However, the refugees he planned to take in were tragically killed in the hands of tens of thousands of people due to rebellion and riots.

The Qin family not only absorbed so many real civilians, but also obtained thousands of military horses from unknown sources to form an unstoppable group of cavalry.

After that, many old troops from the northwest arrived in Beiling Village one after another. As far as he knew, there were tens of thousands of troops.

Throughout the winter, the Qin family's troops patrolled day and night and captured all foreign enemies who invaded Yanyun County. The entire Yanyun County became the safest place outside the city.

Moreover, the Qin family sells charcoal, quilts and other items to keep out the cold at low prices. Those who cannot afford it can also use work in exchange for money to help all the people in Yanyun County stay warm.

During the entire winter, no one in Yanyun County froze to death!

Since the beginning of spring, Yanyun County has made rapid changes and developed rapidly.

Nowadays, there is a powerful agricultural tool called the Quyuan plow, which makes reclaiming wasteland no longer a difficult task.

The Qin family has perfectly implemented the land reform, so that everyone under the rule has a house and everyone has land, making living and working in peace and contentment no longer a sweet dream.

After hearing the conditions relayed by Mr. Dongfang, he was silent for a long time.

After a while, Zhou Mu asked in his soul: "With so much investment in the Qin family, aren't they afraid that they won't be able to get back their money from the people?"
