People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 130

With Li Yao's promise, everyone around felt that their lives were getting better, and their spirits were much better. The most intuitive manifestation was that there were obvious smiles on their faces.

No matter whether they really believe in their hearts or not, they are willing to try to believe, otherwise life will be too bitter.

Then Li Yao got busy again!

He found carpenters and blacksmiths, and discussed with them the feasibility of Quyuanli with blueprints. Li Yao only provided ideas, and it was up to them to actually do it.

These craftsmen also agreed to make a sample in half-belief. Although they had also made farm tools, they had never built Quyuanli, nor had they even seen or heard of this kind of farm tool.

At the same time, they are all full of praise for this blueprint, which is light, concise, and clear. With such a blueprint, samples can be produced soon.

After discussing the matter of Qu Yuanli, Li Yao began to fulfill his promise and select talented people.

Because Li Yao gave rich rewards, there are many volunteers. Although none of them can read and write, they have the experience passed down from their ancestors. Through various details, they can see what the soil in this place is suitable for. Even under the soil, are there copper mines, iron mines...and gold mines, silver mines...

There are about dozens of people, and they are quite confident, they can answer a few questions casually, and they can answer decently.

Li Yao is not afraid that they will deceive him, as long as he can find the corresponding resources, even if he is deceived or guessed, he will give him a reward.

Then I went to prepare things. First of all, I had to give horses. Of course, I couldn’t give them to war horses. War horses are strategic resources. A pack horse that can be used for transportation is enough.

Then there is food and clothing. After all, you have to live in the wild for ten days and a half months. Although it is not enough to eat and wear well, it must be able to guarantee survival.

Finally, in order to avoid escaping or even encountering wild animals or enemies, a group of local herdsmen were arranged as guides.

When everything was ready, Li Yao let everyone out. After all, this was his expectation.

If copper and iron can be found, then the soldiers under his command will be blessed. Those second-hand armor and second-hand weapons can be eliminated and replaced with brand-new armor and weapons.

As for the remaining peasants and servants, Li Yao kept his promise and divided the land for them so that they could farm.

The harvest is divided into [-]-[-]%, and they are still very excited. Whether they are tenants or tenants, at least they are not slaves. It is already very good to keep [-]% of the harvest.

For the next three days, Li Yao was busy with these things. Now is the time for spring plowing. Apart from distributing the land, farm tools and cattle should be arranged as much as possible.

Speaking of farm tools, those craftsmen spent three days finally making the curved shaft plow. Simply put, on the basis of the straight shaft plow, the overall modification is smaller, and the shaft wood is changed from straight to curved.

It's not just a sample, because they each have their own ideas, so they produced more than a dozen samples of Quyuanli, all of which have slightly different details, but the structure is similar.

After having a sample, it is natural to conduct experiments to find the most suitable structure.

Li Yao found more than a dozen farmers with similar heights and builds, and at the same time found more than a dozen cattle with similar heights and builds.

In the same plowing field, it depends on who can dig up more land. At that time, many farmers came to watch, pointing and talking about this new type of farm tool.

Li Yao presided over it himself, and at his command, eleven curved plows and one straight plow started turning the land at the same time.

The twelve agricultural tools were quickly divided into upper and lower parts. At least all the curved plows were more useful and labor-saving than the straight plows, and they dug out more land faster and more.

At a distance of about 100 meters, these farmers came back and forth, and finally there was a result.

If this still didn't mean anything, Li Yao asked these farmers to switch positions and arranged for them to use different farm tools to compete again.

Repeat this three times, and the winner of these three times is the same Qu Yuanli, then the result is obvious.

The farmers around were also excited. They had really seen the effect of the Quyuan plow. With new farm tools in the future, farming will be much easier and more fields can be reclaimed.

Cultivating land is a strenuous task, cultivating the existing land will exhaust all energy, so there is no energy left to reclaim new land.

Now that we have new farm tools, we can reclaim more land and grow more food...

Thinking of this, the eyes of these farmers have become very fiery!
Li Yao is also very happy. He wants to look higher and farther. If all the people in Jincheng, no matter the original people or the people who moved here, can have a Quyuanli, how much land can be reclaimed and how much food can be grown!

Although this was his idea, Li Yao did not hesitate to reward the craftsmen who made Quyuanli.

More than 20 sheep were brought in on the spot, and each craftsman was rewarded with one. Quyuanli's best craftsman was directly rewarded with ten sheep.

And Li Yao made a promise that whoever can make new farm tools that are more suitable for farming will get richer rewards.

These more than ten craftsmen have owned private property for the first time since they came to Jincheng. They all cherish it very much and begin to have a sense of belonging.

After all, people are like fallen leaves. Even if they are attached to the branches, the final result is where they fall and where they rot, nourishing the land and giving birth to new life.

Having a house, land, private property, a wife, a son, and a family is what they pursue in this life.

What happened to Qu Yuanli soon alarmed Li Wenhou and Zhao Yan. They all knew that Li Yao was arranging those peasant husbands and servants.

But they didn't know about Qu Yuanli until now. Li Wenhou was a warrior, but he also knew the importance of farm tools to farmers.

It was like armor, weapons, and war horses, which were equally important to soldiers, so when he knew Qu Yuanli's outstanding performance, it was a big compliment to Li Yao, the one on the left was a big one, the one on the right was a big one.

Then he ordered the craftsmen to urge them to make more Quyuanli as soon as possible, and at the same time sent people to bring the samples and the blueprint to Zhao Xian in Yunwu City.

All the counties in Jincheng need a large number of Quyuan plows, and every commoner needs to use new farm tools, and this must be completed before spring plowing.

Thinking that his sons are continuing to work hard, then he can no longer continue to enjoy himself, so he summoned all the private soldiers in the clan.

Although they had only been given a few days off, they cheered themselves up, and they also cheered up.

Li Wenhou thought in his heart:
I need a new army, a new army strong enough and loyal enough!
　The protagonist has to do something in order to have countless fertile fields and forests of iron armor. This pace should not be too slow. The three armies of Yi Cong will be established soon, but the army also needs food, armor, and weapons...
