Compared with the straight shaft plow popular in the Han Dynasty, the curved shaft plow was first changed from straight to curved, and from long to short, and a rotatable plow plate was installed on the shaft head. This not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitated U-turns and turns.
, the operation is flexible and can save manpower and animal power to a great extent.
The Quyuan plow first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and until it entered modern society, it still played a huge role. From this, we can know its great value to agriculture.
Liu Jing grew up in a rural area in his previous life. Since his parents died when he was young, he grew up eating food from hundreds of families and wearing clothes from hundreds of families. He worked in the fields a lot during his youth, so he was very familiar with Quyuan plows. Making Quyuan plows was not a special task for him.
A difficult thing.
However, he was very hesitant about whether to build Quyuanli. Quyuanli could not help him fight against Liu Biao's army. The most important thing he should do now was to try to strengthen his own strength and increase his chances of winning, rather than divide the enemy.
What twists and turns are invented by the heart?
Finally, Liu Jing considered that the Quyu plow could greatly boost productivity, and the earlier it appeared, the earlier it would benefit, so he ordered Yefang to rush out a batch of Quyu plows before spring plowing.
But that's all. His smelting workshop has limited iron materials, which can be used to make weapons. Armor is not enough, so there is no excess to make a curved shaft plow.
However, Liu Jing is not worried about this. Compared with the straight-column plow, the curved-column plow has huge advantages. As long as the people realize the benefits of the curved-column plow, the people will spontaneously build the curved-column plow.
In the next few days, there were thousands more mouths under his command. Feeling the pressure, Liu Jing decisively attacked the grain transport ships from Lingling and Guiyang counties.
Since Liu Jing was using the banner of Zhang Xian and he himself had a very high reputation in Jingnan, the grain transport ships from the two counties did not doubt that he was there and they all handed over the grain obediently without many twists and turns.
In fact, they are not without doubts in their hearts, but when people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, who dares to come out and question it?
Liu Jing received a total of about 60,000 shi of rice this time, which was almost enough to feed the entire army for three to four months. Liu Jing finally relieved his urgent need, but this kind of thing would never happen again. He had to think about it in the future.
.
The first is Hengshan Township, which borders the northern part of Lingxian County. Both land and population here have already reached the county level. Moreover, it is located between the county towns of Linxiang and Lingxian County, making it a strategic hub. In addition, the Danrixi in Hengshan Mountain is
, Liu Jing regards it as his own, and will send a team of troops to occupy it soon.
Next is Huan Yi’s Leiyang. Leiyang is the most prosperous place in Jingnan. I believe that based on the relationship between the two, Huan Yi will definitely help. But compared to food, he cares more about Leiyang’s iron
Official, now the time is almost up, he must take over Iron Official as soon as possible.
He currently has more than 7,000 water infantry under his command, but only 7,800 pieces of armor, which is very shabby. Only by thoroughly mastering Leiyang Iron Officer can he truly straighten his back when facing Liu Biao's army. Leiyang
Tieguan Ling Huangqiao is a member of the Huang family in Linxiang. They are from the same hometown. He should make the right choice.
Next, Liu Jing turned his attention to the east. Although Ling County is located at the southernmost tip of Changsha County, there are four counties including Rongling, Youxian, Chaling and Ancheng in the east.
Before Liu Biao's army went south, Zhang Xian sent troops to harvest the people's rice in order to collect military supplies. The county town of Linxiang, as well as the nearby counties of Xiangnan and Liling, all suffered heavy losses, while the four counties of Rongling, Youxian, Chaling and Ancheng suffered heavy losses.
Because it is far away from Linxiang, the county seat, it was not affected like Lingxian County.
At this time, the four counties were quite rich even if they were not full of grain and warehouses. Liu Jing was naturally greedy. Unfortunately, the two parties were on equal terms and he could not openly rob them. There were not many means at his disposal, so he could only borrow.
If we want to truly solve the food problem, just a few counties can't solve the problem at all. In the end, we have to rely on Lingling and Guiyang counties.
When Liu Jing was worrying about the food problem, one fleet after another arrived at the port of Ling County. Most of the people on board were the family members of his soldiers. Liu Yu's family was also among them.
When the savior's family arrived, no matter how busy Liu Jing was, he still had to take time to receive them.
Liu Jing, wearing a high crown and official robe, saluted Liu Gao's mother in public.
Liu Gao's mother, who was in her forties, looked gentle and charming, and said in a warm voice: "Zhongda, you are now a Marquis of Baili, why don't you give this gift regardless of your status?"
After Liu Jingli finished, he stood up and said with a smile: "It is the duty of the younger generation to salute in front of the elders. How can we talk about Bailihou? Even if I become a county governor or a state shepherd in the future, I will still do this when I see my elders."
Standing tall and as beautiful as a woman, Liu Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Liu's mother glanced at her son and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhongda has outstanding talents and high ambitions. He will definitely become a county governor or a state pastor in the future. If my son could have half the spirit of you..."
Liu Yao rolled her eyes at Liu Jing again. The two of them were like two extremes. One had no ambitions and the other had great ambitions. What mother wouldn't want her son to be the latter? So every time Liu's mother saw Liu Jing, Liu Jing would
You are bound to be unlucky and often have no peace of mind for several days.
"'Kao Pan is in the stream, and a master is generous. I can't talk alone while I sleep, and I can never stop talking.'" Liu Jing recited "The Book of Songs·Wei Feng·Kao Pan", which is a poem praising the hermit. "It's more than just elegant and elegant."
, in fact, I am quite envious of such a carefree, quiet and natural life. It’s just that the world is in chaos and the people are crying, but I have to do something for the world in order to live up to what I have learned.”
Liu Yao's eyelids jumped when he heard this. Liu Jing was clearly agreeing, but he was actually sarcastic.
Mother Liu nodded and said: "Zhongda is so right. The ancients often had sages who had talents but could not develop them. When future generations look at history, they all sigh. Isn't it even more regrettable that they have talents but do not develop them? Wenlang has been special since he was a child.
I can't persuade him to go on his own, and I can't persuade him. I just hope that Ji'er can raise the voice of the Liu family in the future, so that when my soul returns to Jiuquan, I won't be able to see the ancestors of the Liu family."
The tone of Liu's mother's words was a bit serious. Maybe it was because of the two migrations to the south, or maybe it was because she saw Liu Jing become a Bailihou. In short, Liu's mother changed her usual behavior and showed great disappointment in Liu Qianli.
Feelings.
"Mother..." Brothers Liu Yan and Liu Ji changed their expressions at the same time and immediately knelt down on the ground.
Liu's mother said to Liu Jing without changing her expression: "Zhongda, Ji'er has turned eighteen this year and can barely hold a pen and inkstone. I wonder if you can recruit him as your disciple?"
"Mother, this..." Liu Ji couldn't help but be startled. He had never thought of becoming an official now. No matter how much he came from the Central Plains gentry, he was a small and medium-sized official in a district or county. He didn't like it at all. But since his mother had spoken, he naturally
It’s no longer easy to speak out against it.
Liu Jing said without hesitation: "This is also my wish."
