Chapter 71 Oath and Avalokitesvara Competing Performance (36)

In the end, Tu Minghui couldn't win his father over, so he could only agree to let his father farm with him.

But in this way, new problems emerged.

If his father is not a regent, who will manage the government?

He is definitely not willing to allow his brothers and princes to engage in eight kings' political affairs, so Tu Minghui can only find civil and military officials, and ask them to discuss whether to choose a certain prince to supervise the country, or to choose a few princes together To supervise the country, or take turns to supervise the country, and the ministers come to assist the government.

But anyway.

Anyway, the supervisor of the country has to survive this year.

Don't ask for meritorious service, but just ask for no faults.

In addition, Tu Minghui has one more important matter that needs to be resolved urgently, that is, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to produce a batch of the most excellent labor-saving products that can use the power of livestock at the same time, and try to use the power of livestock as much as possible. farm tools.

When plowing the fields in previous years, Tu Minghui did not follow his father's example, which symbolizes that a shovel of soil and sowing some seeds will end. Instead, he actually cultivated a whole third of the land, so how tiring farming is. At least he is quite aware of how tiring it is to plant three-point land.

Because of this, he can actually imagine how troublesome and terrible it will be when he turns back to plant three acres of land, thirty acres of land, or even three hundred acres of land.

But this field has to be planted, let alone planted by others. Others will not have the same effect as him. For his own historical reputation and the stability of the country, he must plant it.

You have to be able to plant as many species as possible.

As long as you don't die from exhaustion, plant in the dead.

In this case, various farming tools that save time and labor are undoubtedly very important, and tools that reduce human labor by using cattle and horses as much as possible are also very important.

From Tu Minghui's own understanding, it is definitely useless for others to farm for him or for him, but it should be no problem for him to drive cattle and horses and carry tools to farm. After all, some ordinary people also use cattle to plow the fields, so he can't Not even the common people.

The emperor issued a death order.

In addition, the agricultural tools manufactured this time are all for the emperor himself, and it is also closely related to how many fields the emperor can finally cultivate and how many high-yielding crop seeds blessed by the pomegranate empress.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and those craftsmen really took out what they had learned all their lives and racked their brains to think about how to improve farming tools to make them more labor-saving.

Or replace manpower with animal power as much as possible.

In addition, they also issued a solicitation order, hoping that people in the world will respond positively. Whether it is providing better farming tools or better ideas and designs of farming tools, it will be a great contribution. If it is finally determined to be useful, If it can be used by His Majesty.

It can even be knighted or made an official.

In short, this should be regarded as the official solicitation order for this dynasty, and even the past dynasties, to pay the most attention to farming tools and give the largest rewards.

Then, of course, the people responded one after another.

Countless good designs arrived like snowflakes.

I have to say that there was no shortage of smart people in ancient times, but they lacked enough motivation to go to the right place where they should use their intelligence and talents. If you don't know a few, how can you develop.

Ordinary craftsmen mostly rely on the accumulation of years of experience, or some occasional accidents, to obtain some knowledge of technological improvement, and then they may not be able to pass it on, maybe it will be gone after a while.

This kind of technological progress under the slow development.

Get together with smart people to work together in a certain direction, and the progress of joint research is completely incomparable.

Qu Jie's operation, together with the new emperor Tu Minghui and the Ministry of Industry's propaganda cooperation, at least made the development of farming tools in the current dynasty fast forward by 200 years.

Many excellent farm implement designs have emerged.

The only pity is that although many tools are very useful, they consume a lot of animal power. It is estimated that only a few specific groups of people can use them, and ordinary people can't afford them or use them.

But anyway, it's still progress.

And now that the number of cattle and horses is increasing, more and more people will be able to afford them in the future, or a village will work together to buy them and use them together, and the effect will be the same.

We can't expect to use oxen and horses to plow the land one month, and then use steam engines and oil engines in the next month.

Without plug-ins, how could the development of science and technology make such a leap.

It's pretty good now.

……

Tu Minghui's entire preparation process lasted about two months, from the end of the sacrifice to the end of the new year. Although the land was still a little hard at this time, it was not the time for normal spring plowing, but in order to be able to cultivate more acreage.

He still took his own father, guarding the crowd, serving people, including historians, etc., to plow the land together.

It has to be said that this is also a wonder through the ages.

The Taishanghuang and the emperor whipped the cows and horses with small whips, and drove the farm tools to plow the land. Hundreds of imperial guards surrounded them for protection. The imperial physician who provided various emergency medicines, the living doctor who recorded the emperor's words and deeds, and the official historian who was in charge of the official history.

That's not all, because in addition to these people, there are many agricultural officials around to guide them how to use farm tools correctly and plow the fields more easily and accurately.

And answer other questions related to agriculture.

After that, they will be needed for breeding and breeding.

Facts have proved that these preparations are useful. Compared with Tu Minghui, who is still in his prime, he really has a little bit of inadequacy in success, more than failure, and he can't do much.

In the first step, he was very slow in learning how to plow the land. His son has already plowed an acre of land, and he is still learning. The key is that the agricultural officer who taught him did not dare to say anything. Repeat it over and over again, and teach it firsthand.

If you can't learn it, it's strange that the agricultural officials can't teach it.

When he finally learns it and starts to use it, there will be more problems, such as throwing the whip too hard, the cows and horses are not obedient, and for example, he is not good at steering, or the strength is not enough to control the direction accurately. The land he plowed was crooked.

Then, after two or three mu of land was cultivated, he began to ask the imperial doctor to check his pulse, to drink water, to eat, to wipe his sweat, out of breath, alas, there were a lot of troubles.

Compared to him, a bad old man who doesn't want to work and wants to be famous, his son Tu Minghui is really good. He not only learns quickly, but also does a good job. I didn't get tired from morning to night, and I plowed a hundred acres of land in one day.

It might not be considered very good at first, but with his father as the control group, it is undoubtedly quite good.

The most important thing is that although he was very tired and could barely get up the next day, he still asked the imperial doctor to massage him for half an hour and continued to plow more land.

It doesn't matter if he scolded his mother or not.

But at least they performed quite well.

Reminiscing like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
