Chapter 15 The curved plow is definitely better than the straight plow

Zhao Si recalls the specific appearance of the Quyuan Plough in his memory.

Start trying to sketch on the ground.

The rest of the crew focused on dicing the potatoes and peeling the corn.

Wang Li stood curiously and looked at the grain that was said to have yielded 500 kilograms per mu.

It looks...a bit unremarkable.

The blocky sweet potatoes and potatoes and golden corn do not look particularly strange, nor will the Buling Buling shine golden.

Wang Li and the grain in their memory have been compared for a long time, but they can't see anything strange. However, Wang Li has never seen these three kinds of grains in Daqin.

"Can these grains really produce 500 kilograms per mu?" Wang Li, who had a relatively unrestrained personality, couldn't tell for a long time, so he finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Si, who was recalling the Quyuan Plough, looked up at the source of the sound, and saw the young general who led his group to reclaim the land, staring at the sweet potatoes and corn in the crew's hands with curiosity on the side.

"There shouldn't be that much corn, but the sweet potatoes should be only more or less." Zhao Si answered.

Wang Li nodded, but he didn't know which one was sweet potato, which one was potato, and which one was corn. He was hesitating whether to continue asking questions, but heard Zhao Si continue to speak.

"This is sweet potato, which is delicious when roasted. This is potato. You can eat it when stir-fry, cook, or fried. This is corn." Zhao Si introduced one by one.

However, Zhao Si had a thought in his heart. The general in front of him was young and did not seem to be mature and steady.

Zhao Si didn't know the other party's specific identity and surname, but what is certain is that the other party's identity and status are definitely not low.

After all, the young general in front of him revealed the style of a second generation.

Zhao Si was thinking about how to recreate the Quyuan Plough in this era. As a modern person, seeing that he can change things that are beneficial to the future, he doesn't make it feel like a cat scratching if he doesn't make it happen.

Things that have clearly experienced, possessed, and even abandoned are extremely precious in this era.

However, Zhao Si himself does not know how to do carpenters. He has been wandering at sea for so long, so he has not been too much at all hands-on ability, but it is only limited to rough work. If you really want to improve the farm tools, you have to have a professional carpenter.

Now that he is in Lantian Camp, he will not be able to get out for a while. Moreover, Zhao Si has no money on him now and can’t afford to hire a carpenter. If you want to find a professional, you have to cooperate with the young general in front of you.

When contact and communication are two, and there is no conflict of interest, Zhao Si is still very confident about his golden fingers.

In addition to people with weird personalities, Zhao Si can quickly become friends with someone as long as he wants.

"There are quite a few sweet potatoes and potatoes I brought back. Can the general try one or two?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

After Zhao Si said this, Wang Li was really moved. He was originally a teenager and was taken by his grandfather Wang Jian since he was a child. He had never experienced the beating of his father. Naturally, his personality was originally a teenager and he was very releasing.

But Wang Li was still clear about the importance of the matter, and after pondering for a moment, he waved his hand.

"The most urgent thing is to sow seeds." Wang Li smiled and refused, but he was obviously curious about the taste of sweet potatoes.

After all, it is a food I have never seen before. Young people always want to try something I have never seen before.

Zhao Si did not persuade him anymore. After laughing, he continued to compare the structure of the curved plow on the ground.

Don’t rush for a moment, even if you have gold fingers, you can’t become friends in one day. Anyway, there is a lot of time to farm, so there is time to communicate.

Zhao Si has good drawing skills. He learned sketching when he was a child. It would not be as good as the drawings, but it is still fine to draw specific appearances based on things in his memory.

After constant recollection and drawing, a specific model of the curved plow appeared in Zhao Si's mind not long after.

The curved plow in Zhao Si's childhood memory is an old object from the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, nearly a thousand years had passed since the birth of the curved plow, but mechanical tools had not yet been popularized at that time, and steel production was not high enough. Many areas were still in a state of farming with people and livestock.

Zhao Si started drawing with a broken wooden stick.

In some places, I feel that the proportion may not be correct, so I erase and repaint it, and then slowly compare it carefully with the memory.

After staying for a long time, the task was finally completed. Zhao Si looked at the simple picture of the curved plow on the ground with satisfaction. Wang Li was no longer standing behind Zhao Si quietly, looking at the strange patterns drawn by Zhao Si on the ground with curiosity.

"What is this?"

Zhao Si was still comparing with his memory to see if there was anything missing. Suddenly, he heard the sound from behind and was so scared that Zhao Si was so shocked. He squatted and turned his head to look at the young general who had just talked to him, leaning over and staring at the curved plow he drew on the ground.

"Quyuan Plough!" Zhao Si stood up and spoke.

"What is the Quyuan Plow?" Wang Li continued to ask.

When the curved plow is not born, the straight plow is called a plow. After the curved plow is born, the plow is divided into straight and straight.

"A plow is curved compared to the current plow." Zhao Si said.

"The current plow requires two oxes to carry it. When the plow reaches the ground, it also requires manpower to carry it out and re-insert it, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Compared with the current straight plow, the curved plow is smaller, flexible and labor-saving. It only takes one person to control it, turn and turn, and it is easy and easy." Zhao Si introduced.

When Wang Li heard this, he squatted down curiously and looked at the pictures on the ground.

"Is this the curved plow?"

It can be seen that the ground is indeed the shape of a plow.

Unfortunately, Wang Li looked at it for a long time but couldn't see what the advantages of the Quyuan Plough were.

"This thing is really as good as you said?" Wang left and asked.

Although Wang Li couldn't understand it, he still knew the benefits of improving farm tools.

In this era, craftsmen have not yet become lowly businesses, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are not in the order of status, but rather an explanation of the composition of a country's main body.

Although Qin State is a country with a farming and war system, its support for craftsmen is extraordinary.

If you can design a utensil that achieves twice the result with half the effort, you will often get a lot of rewards, which is a real reward for real money and titles.

Under such a system, Wang Li will not underestimate the birth of new tools, especially new agricultural tools.

After Wang Li took it seriously, Zhao Si was a little uncertain.

If you really say that the curved plow is better than the straight plow, it is said in the book, but what are the specific advantages? Zhao Si has never seen it, because he has never seen the straight plow at all, let alone the comparison between the straight plow and the curved plow at the same time.

The most important thing is that he is not sure whether the curved plow he drew was really accurate or whether it needs to be adjusted and tried.

He really dared not promise.

"It's hard to say, but when I went out to sea, I passed by a place where I used all the crooked plows, and the plows with straight plows had long been dug up." Zhao Si thought about it and changed his statement.

"That must be more useful than the straight one!" Wang Li said excitedly.

"Maybe it can be done?" Wang Li looked at Zhao Si in anger.

"I'm not good at carpenters." Zhao Si shook his head honestly.

"It's okay, there are craftsmen in the army!" Wang Li stood up, his voice full of vitality.
