"Enjoy it?"

Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that Hei Weng's evaluation of the plow was so novel.

"Uuuuuu——"

Xizi and Mengzi were even more praised for their performance. They cried and laughed like two fools, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoyi!"

Even the big bull leading the reindeer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Great, with this plow, we don't have to work so hard anymore!"

Qing Yi could understand the teenagers' exaggerated performance, as these teenagers actually had the hardest time during spring ploughing every year.

Teenagers often eat more than adults and are almost as tall as adults. During spring ploughing, they are treated like adults and made to do the same heavy physical work all day long.

However, teenagers' muscles and bones are not strong enough, and their physical strength and endurance are insufficient. It is difficult for them to endure doing the same heavy physical work for many days in a row.

Now that we have plows, the most tiring process of digging the fields with a hoe has been greatly improved in efficiency, and people no longer have to work so hard.

The teenagers were happy, and the young and strong were equally excited. After all, they were the main force in digging the farmland, and everyone was happy to be able to greatly relieve their fatigue.

The villagers were simply happy. Tun Shigu's eyes rolled around, flashing with shrewdness, and it was obvious that he had a new idea.

He said excitedly but in a low voice: "My goodness, brother, this is incredible. This plow can increase the cultivated land in Xing State several times. It can be called a national treasure.

Especially in recent years, there have been constant droughts, floods and famines, and the country has to purchase grain from other vassal states every year. Last year, when Huo Yunyaqing led his troops north, the military rations were purchased at great cost.

With the plow, the State of Xing will no longer be short of food in the future and will no longer have to look at the faces of other countries. The Marquis of Xing should at least grant you the title of corporal or sergeant.

As for me, I don't ask for anything else. I will be satisfied if the king can reward me with a high-ranking commoner for helping you."

"Doctor Yuanmu Shang once said that as long as I can be promoted to a corporal and given a title before the age of twenty, I can apply to the monarch to enter the Imperial College."

Qing Yi's heart moved. Watching Yuanmu Qiujian carve the rune formation that day made him interested in runes. Recently, he studied "The Initial Explanation of Runes" and became more and more fascinated by it.

If he could be promoted to corporal earlier through plowing, he could apply to enter the Imperial College earlier and learn the runes he had longed for.

"Oh my goodness, Imperial College!" Master Tu Gu's eyes widened, "Although corporals can enter the Imperial College, not only can they not be over 20 years old, but their strength must also be at least at the eighth level of warrior.

You need to know the origin of the Imperial College. It was originally a place for the children of monarchs to study. Only the children of Shangqing, Yaqing and Shaoqing were qualified to study with the emperor.

Decades ago, only the children of doctors were eligible to enter the Imperial Academy. It was not until this generation of the monarch that the young scholars were admitted, and only a very small number of scholars with deep roots were able to enter and study there. "

"So that's it!"

Qing Yi looked thoughtful. He didn't expect that the Imperial College had such a complicated background. Even a corporal with a rank of Jinjue would still find it very difficult to enter.

After thinking it over carefully, Qing Yi said seriously: "Since the requirements for entering the Imperial College are so high, a plow alone is probably not enough to be considered as a merit for promotion.

We should be good people to the end. Since we have already made a plow, let's make a few more farm tools and make a spring plowing set. " "Spring plowing set?"

Tu Shigu was curious about this new term, and nodded repeatedly on his fat face, "Anyway, brother, you are very smart, I will listen to you no matter what you say."

"First of all, your bone plow processing speed is too slow. We have to find a way to improve efficiency!"

"My goodness, brother, you have to be honest. How many people in the entire Xing Kingdom have a processing speed faster than mine? It can't be any faster."

"Brother Shi Gu, don't be anxious. As the top armor and weapon master in Xing State, how can I let you spend all day processing? You have to use your intelligence and wisdom to develop the seed drill with me.

Try to mobilize the extra manpower in your family and let them be the main force in processing the bone plow. Chai Yong and others can help out."

"Hehe, brother, you have good vision. You may see a belly full of fat, but inside it is all intelligence and talent. It just so happens that the armor ordered by the Minister of the Imperial Household will be completed in the next few days, and they will be transferred over the day after tomorrow."

······
Five days later.

Tu Shigu stood on the east side of Huaiqiuli, looking up at the simple tall log building and three huge wooden windmill blades standing in front of him, and said confidently:
"Brother, you have an idea. Use the windmill to drive the bone plow. It can also grind flour and rice in the future. After the spring plowing is over, I will build a similar one at home. This way, the efficiency of processing weapons and armor will be higher."

"After all, this windmill was built in a hurry. It will only last for two months at most. Let's make as many plows as possible before the spring plowing!"

Qing Yi did not pay much attention to the windmill house. He just proposed a concept, which was built by the craftsmen from Tun Shigu's family and Chai Yong and others.

Only the braking system was optimized and adjusted by Tu Shigu to drive five grinders to grind the bone plows. Three shifts were carried out every day, and fifty bone plowshares could be processed.

In the next few days, Qing Yi provided creative ideas, and Tu Shigu, as the executor, made the plow seed drill, palladium soil machine, and weeding cart.

It was not enough to just make it, and repeated tests and modifications were carried out in the fields. It was not until mid-February that the form was finally finalized.

"Wow, with this spring plowing set, I can plow the land, level it, sow seeds, and weed. How can this be called farming? This is simply a blessing!"

Tu Shigu looked at the final version of the Spring Sowing Set in front of him, patted his chest confidently and said, "If the king doesn't give you the title of sergeant, I will eat all these tools!"

"The Marquis of Xing has always attached great importance to military merit. I will be satisfied if the monarch can give me the rank of a corporal, so what's the point of conferring a title of sergeant?" Qing Yi smiled and shook his head. Sometimes great merit does not necessarily lead to corresponding rewards.

Tu Shigu also thought of this. His eyes rolled around and he said with a smile, "Brother, I see you are not in a hurry to make it. Are you waiting for Old Man Shi to come and ask him to help present it?"

Qing Yi did not deny what Tun Shigu said, and smiled slightly, "Old Man Shi is an upright person. He even reported the merits of the sled car truthfully. Perhaps he presented it to the king so that it could be promoted as quickly as possible and attract the king's attention."

While waiting for Old Man Shi and Niu Niu, Qing Yi suddenly discovered a more important problem: the villagers in Huaiqiu had only a dozen cows in total, and there was a serious lack of animal power for spring plowing.

He ambushed the little fox in a river bend and used its special confusing ability to capture nearly a hundred northern wilderness buffaloes. The ox plowing and spring plowing suits were a perfect combination, winning everyone's cheers again.

Ever since that day when he tried the plow, the impatient Hei Weng has loved it so much that he can't stop. He led the villagers to use the plow to turn the soil and level the land, waiting to use the seeder to sow in early March.

Even though the number of plows in the house exceeded one thousand, and there were dozens of seed drills, soil hoes, and weeders, Old Man Shi and Niu Niu never came again.

Qing Yi pondered in his heart: "Tomorrow is the full moon of February. I will take the little fox, the civet cat, and the big rooster to the God's spiritual realm first. If Old Man Shi doesn't come, we must go to the capital."
