Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 425 Cao Ang's Shock

"It's actually able to dig so deep."

Cao Ang checked the ground, it was not easy to get so deep.

Zhang Ming threw away the dirt, and said, "What else?"

"The turned up soil is even finer. No need to do it twice."

Zhang Ming led them to Zhiyuanli's side.

"Look, this straight shaft plow still needs to break up the turned soil manually, and the turning is not deep enough, sometimes it needs to be turned twice or three times."

Sun Ce didn't know about Zhiyuanli, but Cao Ang knew it very well.

It is indeed as Zhang Ming said.

Looking at this alone, Qu Yuanli's efficiency is already several times higher than that.

However, there is still a problem, that is, this cow can pull multiple levels.

Don't use Quyuanli's oxen. If you pull them for a while, they will become tired and paralyzed.

People are walking in the field.

Quyuanli rode Juechen and was far ahead.

Go straight for a mile or so, change direction and come back.

Zhang Ming took them for a walk and compared them.

Where Quyuanli pulled it, it was always balanced.

Zhiyuanli just finished one trip, and Quyuanli has already completed two trips.

Moreover, Qu Yuanli has maintained his speed.

Cao Ang and Sun Ce were shocked.

Especially Cao Ang, he is an expert.

He even doubted that he would become an agronomist.

This Cao Ang has always been a doer. Cao Cao asked him to farm the fields. In order to do a good job, he went to the fields himself and did various things.

A group of people walked slowly, the contrast between the two sides was too obvious.

Cao Ang also has many Zhiyuanli under his command.

If the plow can be replaced with a curved shaft, that is to say, twice as many oxen can be used to pull the plow.

What is the reason for rejecting this technique?

No, there is no way to refuse.

An hour later, Quyuanli was still pulling, but Zhiyuanli's oxen were already a little out of order.

Zhang Ming said: "Facts have proved that Quyuanli is more efficient and saves more labor. The cattle of Zhiyuanli are also randomly selected, and there is no difference."

"It takes a lot of effort to straighten the plow, and the ox is naturally more tired."

Zhang Ming asked people to stop and gathered the cows and people together.

The farmers in Quyuanli have changed a lot.

There is no way not to change people, the cow walks too fast, and the people consume more energy.

However, because the cattle of Zhiyuanli are slow, farmers do not need to change them.

"Efficiency, high and low judgment."

"Remove the two sets of curved shaft plows, and bring the two sets of straight shaft plows."

Zhang Ming asked someone to dismantle it, and one of them was simply disassembled.

"Master Cao Ang, Marquis Wu, this Quyuanli is easy to turn and is very suitable for the paddy fields in the south."

The fields in the south are not like those in the north, they are large and very flat.

Some fields in the south are not a straight piece.

Cao Ang even wanted to try it himself.

If this thing is taken to the south, it will definitely improve efficiency greatly.

Cao Ang could even gather thousands of cattle, reclaim a large amount of farmland, and grow food for millions of people.

Can't refuse.

Cao Ang said, "Marquis Liao, we want to visit the place where the Quyuanli was made."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Zhang Ming and his party went to the place where Quyuanli was made again.

Cao Ang observed carefully, if it wasn't because this place was not his own, he would even try to make one himself.

It is not very difficult to watch the craftsmen make it. After they go back, they can summon the craftsmen and produce it on a large scale.

A day passed, and Zhang Ming took them to watch the whole process.

Sixteen million dollars has arrived.

This army capable of repairing roads spent about two months.

"You two, what do you think?"

On the way back, Zhang Ming asked again.

Cao Ang said: "The great talent of the Marquis of Liao, who can make such a thing, is really a blessing to the common people."

Sun Ce asked, "Marquis Liao, those plowshares are made of good iron. Marquis Liao is indeed extraordinary."

What is good iron? Zhang Ming used steel.

He used steel as a plowshare.

Now that Zhang Ming has been able to make a large amount of steel, it is natural to use the steel.

"I also sell this plowshare. You can go to the people below to discuss how much quantity and price you need, and I don't care about it."

For sale, the finished steel cannot be sold, they will go to forge weapons, and the finished plowshares can be sold.

If they have the ability, they will buy plowshares, melt them down and make them into weapons.

In that case, the cost will increase exponentially.

After returning, Sun Ce and Cao Ang declined Zhang Ming's banquet, but they went to Dongling Restaurant to eat by themselves.

After arriving at the private room and ordering food, Sun Ce asked, "Young Master Cao, what kind of existence is this Quyuanli? According to your calculations, how much can it be improved?"

Sun Ce has never been to the land, and most of the internal affairs are handled in other ways, which he does not understand.

Cao Ang said: "What Liaohou told us before was not an exaggeration. This thing can greatly improve efficiency. We can't do without it, and we need to manufacture it on a large scale."

"However, I have also observed carefully. It is difficult for us to manufacture the plowshares of Marquis Liao. If we make them ourselves, the efficiency may be lower, but it is also much faster than the Zhiyuan plow."

"What does Mr. Cao mean?"

"From Marquis Liao, if we buy another plowshare, we will manufacture it on a large scale when we go back. We can quickly open up a large amount of farmland. As long as we plant the last season's rice, we can earn back the money."

Sun Ce nodded, and after such a calculation, he really should buy it.

Sun Ce asked again: "Young Master Cao, how much should we buy?"

"Hey, let's buy [-] first. We still can't get so many cattle. The biggest constraint now is the cattle."

"I only have about [-] cattle, and I need to replace them with Quyuanli as soon as possible, so I plan to buy finished products and replace them all."

"I'll buy some later, and replace all the Zhiyuanli in the hands of the people. As long as the people have cattle, they will give Quyuanli."

Sun Ce nodded. He felt that Cao Ang's method was very good and could increase production as soon as possible.

Cao Ang has a better understanding of the situation under his rule, and he has been assisting Cao Cao in handling internal affairs.

But Sun Ce didn't know much about internal affairs, and it was all handled by his subordinate Zhang Zhao and others.

Sun Ce also plans to directly buy thousands of finished products back.

The two exchanged opinions, and Sun Ce understood Qu Yuanli's role better.

At the same time, he learned many ways of farming from Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's farming was very effective, and a large number of paddy fields were opened up in the south.

"Marquis Wu, before coming here, my father really hoped that our two families could reach a certain kind of tacit understanding. You know, the world is in great shape today."

Sun Ce shook his head lightly and said, "The Marquis of Liao has shown great kindness to my family, and it is absolutely impossible for me to stand with you at this time."

"Of course, but you must be friendly enough to us."

Sun Ce knew this, at least Sun Ce would not attack Cao Cao from behind, nor would he cooperate with Zhang Ming to attack them.

"I heard that Zhou Gongjin is here too, why haven't I seen him for so many days?"

"He took his little sister around to play."

Zhou Yu didn't go there for fun, but this time, he needed to stay for a long time, and Zhou Yu wanted to make a comprehensive inspection.

From Beiping City to the counties below.

This Sun Shangxiang had a wild temper and couldn't stay, so he followed.
