Chapter 52 This is a new plow designed by my father, a curved plow)
Chapter 52
"Judging from its structure alone, this thing consumes a lot less material than the straight-shaft plow. Judging from its shape, my father feels that it seems to be more flexible..."
"It's just that this is just a drawing. Without the actual object, it's really difficult to determine its effectiveness."
Yang Ning is worthy of being an official who has worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years. At least he has a good understanding of farming equipment. From the structural diagram alone, he can roughly deduce the advantages of this kind of curved shaft plow.
"Qian'er, how did you come up with the idea of changing this straight shaft into a curved shaft? This trick is really too subtle."
Yang Qian met the enthusiastic gaze of Yang Ning, a farming expert, touched his nose, and explained with the same reason as before.
"The child just feels that this straight-shaft plow seems too heavy and heavy, and it requires two oxen to pull it, so I wonder how to use only one plowing ox..."
"It seems that he is not as much a father as I am a son." Yang Ning patted Yang Qian's shoulder, and the smile on his face looked very pleased.
Early the next morning, Yang Ning called for the carpenter in the mansion and asked him to modify a straight-shaft plow in the mansion according to the structural diagram. After struggling all morning, he finally made a curved-shaft plow.
plow.
The next step was of course the test, and Yang Qian, the designer, took the initiative to go and have a look, even though Yang Qian was very convinced of the function of Quyuan Li.
But others were different. Whether it was Yang Ning or the housekeeper Song Shu, although they both had confidence in Yang Qian, they were still a little worried.
Hearing that the Yang Mansion was going to test a new plow, many people from Daze Village, old and young, gathered around to watch the fun.
He pointed at this curved shaft plow that looked much smaller than the straight shaft plow.
Arriving at a field that had been gnawed by locusts and leaving little green, a strong working ox was put on a curved yoke in the village's old style, accompanied by the crack of a whip.
The strong plowing ox slowly took a step forward, moving forward slowly and powerfully, driving the curved shaft plow forward, slowly plowing the ground, splitting the soil...
#####
At first, he was still cautious about the old style, but gradually he was surprised to find that he could control this curved shaft plow with one hand, and even though he only had one plowing ox.
However, as the oxen move forward, the speed of the curved-shaft plow cutting through the ground is no slower than that of a straight-shaft plow using two oxen...
At this time, everyone closed their mouths and widened their eyes, looking at the curved shaft plow that only needed an ox to plow.
"Stop!" At this time, Yang Ning, who was standing on the ridge of the field, suddenly shouted. "Uncle Song, go back to the house and get a straight-shaft plow, and bring two oxen over and let them have a good comparison."
"Mr. Yang Daguan, I have some at home, I'm going to get it right away!" A villager from Daze Village standing nearby greeted him loudly and walked away quickly.
These things did not need to be provided by Yang Mansion. The nearby villagers quickly brought in two oxen and a straight-shaft plow.
Under Yang Ning's instructions, these enthusiastic villagers harnessed the straight-shaft plow to two cattle.
Instead of continuing to farm in that field, they changed to two acres of fields. Following the order from the high-spirited housekeeper Uncle Song, the two experienced crop handlers began to shout to the cattle to pull in front.
Two plowing oxen require two people to operate them. One is holding the plow behind and the other is pulling the oxen in front. The speed is slightly faster than the curved shaft plow. However, when the plow reaches the end of the field and turns, the two people chatter for a long time, and then they pull the straight plow.
The plow slowly turned around.
But when the two of them turned the plow and had not had time to take a breath, they were shocked to discover that among people's whispers, the curved shaft plow was originally slightly slower than theirs.
He had completed the turn almost without stopping and was walking back...
Such efficiency made Yang Ning's eyes shine brightly. One acre of land was not big, but it still took nearly an hour to cultivate it. By the time the curved-column plow and the double-oxen straight-column plow in another field started working almost at the same time,
Farming is over.
"How is it, Lao Zhangtou, how do you feel about using this plow?" Uncle Song, the housekeeper, was as excited as a thirty-year-old middle-aged man at the moment. He was the first to rush to the place where the cow neck was being unloaded.
The old man of the yoke stood up and shouted loudly.
Lao Zhangtou wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered loudly with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's so easy, it's so easy! Mr. Yang, what kind of plow is this? An ox can use it.
Moreover, I can operate it by myself. Compared with the straight-shaft plow, it is so easy to turn around. Moreover, this plow can also control the depth of soil penetration. It can be used for deep plowing and shallow plowing..."
Hearing this, Yang Ning couldn't help but reveal a comforting smile, and raised her hand to pat Yang Qian, who was standing next to her. "This plow is an old man's dog..."
"That's right! This is a new plow designed by my father, called the Quyuan Plow."
Yang Ning couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes fell on Yang Qian.
"Please ask your father to take on this title. This kid can't afford it..." Yang Qian bowed to Yang Ning apologetically and said in a low voice. There were so many people here and he didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Ning stared blankly at Yang Qian, who had a serious face in front of him, and finally said nothing.
The stewards, Uncle Song and Zhili, were both aware of the inside story, but when they saw their young master yelling like this, they didn't say anything more even though their faces were full of shock.
At this time, many farmers came forward to try out the effectiveness of this new plow, trampling the newly plowed field into a mess.
#####
"Qian'er, this is obviously your fault, why do you blame it on your father?" Yang Ning, who had come back to his senses when he saw all the villagers squeezing past, lowered his voice and asked Yang Qian.
"Father, my child has been in too much limelight. If a tree is as beautiful as a tree, the wind will destroy it. My child has read this from a book..."
"My son actually read "Theory of Destiny"?" Yang Ning looked at his son in surprise. "I didn't expect that the copy of "Theory of Destiny" from the Wei and Jin Dynasties that your father hid in the study was also found.
.”
Yang Qian looked at his biological father and felt that his and Yang Ning's consciousness did not seem to be on a parallel line.
Fortunately, Yang Ning finally came to his senses at this time, stroking his temples and nodding slightly. "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the bank, the current will be turbulent; if you walk higher than others, the crowd will destroy them.
It’s not…”
"My son is young, but he already has such cautious thoughts. It is really beyond my father's expectation."
Yang Qian smiled lightly. It's not that I don't want to be cautious, but that this era is too dangerous.
Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has made great achievements in recent years. He has begun to wander. Now he has gathered a large number of envious people. In addition, the household dares to obey Yang Guang's imperial edict, which proves it.
question.
I am so young and tender, and if I jump out rashly, I will only become the target of public criticism. The best way is to continue to develop.
Yang Ning is his biological father and a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, who is proficient in farming equipment.
If he can use this thing to continue to be promoted to a higher position, then he can continue to grow under the protection of his own father's wings.
