In other words, two cows and three farmers were needed for each farming. This was undoubtedly a huge waste of manpower.
More importantly, it limited the efficiency of farming.
Not only that, when encountering a natural disaster, even humans could not live happily, let alone cows.
As a result, they entered a vicious cycle.
Wen Rongtai lovingly looked at Qu Yuanli in front of him, as if he was looking at a young girl, observing him inch by inch.
This observation made him even more shocked.
Compared to the straight shaft plow, this curved shaft plow had changed the straight shaft and long shaft into a curved shaft and short shaft, and a plow plate that could rotate freely was installed at the head of the shaft.
No wonder it could make the plow frame smaller and lighter. It was indeed more convenient to turn and turn, and it was more flexible to operate.
With this structure, when the plowshare was buried in the soil, the depth of the excavation could be freely adjusted.
This plow didn't only seem to be able to crush the soil, but it could also push the plowed soil to the side, reducing the amount of help needed to move forward.
"Milord, to put it bluntly, the structure of this curved shaft plow is too exquisite. It's light and effortless! Wonderful!"
Wen Rongtai couldn't help but hold the Quyuan Plow and lift it up without using all his strength.
Lin Nan nodded and smiled.
"Of course. Rong Tai, do you want to try this Qu Yuanli?”
"Of course,"
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and gather the soldiers. Then, inform Brother Chen Dao to gather the people in the city to go to the fields and try out this curved shaft plow.”
"Yes, sir!"
Wen Rongtai held the Quyuan Plow lovingly. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no land in the Inner Hall, he would have tried to use this item immediately.
At this moment, Lin Nan suggested and immediately agreed. He cupped his hands and bowed before turning around to leave.
Lin Nan looked at Wen Rongtai's back as he left. He took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and with a thought, a blueprint appeared in front of him.
Looking at the blueprint of the curved plow in his hand, the corners of Lin Nan's mouth curled up slightly.
In this chaotic world, what was the most important thing to dominate the world?
Naturally, it was to strengthen the army and provisions!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, natural disasters were frequent, plagues were common, and there were too many people. The warlords had the most ownerless fields.
At this time, what they lacked the most was people to plow the fields!
With this curved shaft plow, farmers could be freed from the state of two oxen and three husbands.
The same number of farmers could cultivate twice the amount of land, and the amount of food they obtained would be doubled!
In addition, the potatoes that Xu Shu was responsible for growing could produce more rations!
With food, he could naturally summon more refugees and soldiers. In this way, his merit points would rise slowly, and he could deduce anything he wanted.
As long as he could find a suitable lord and a suitable opportunity, the world would be in his hands.
Why think so much? Let nature take its course. Let's go and see how Wen Rongtai is doing.
After thinking about it, Lin Nan put away the Wordless Heavenly Book and Qu Yuanli's blueprints and walked towards the farmland.
In just a moment, he reached the farmland and saw that all the soldiers and commoners in the city had arrived.
When everyone saw Lin Nan, they bowed and looked curiously at Wen Rongtai and the Quyuan Plow in the field.
When Wen Rongtai saw that Lin Nan had arrived, he bowed to him. Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, he put a bow on the cow, tied the plow rope, and hooked it to the plow.
"Let's start with shallow ploughing!"
Wen Rongtai adjusted the plow arrow so that the plow share was shallow in the soil, and then shook the cow rope.
The water buffalo moved forward, and the plow was mixed into the soil. It moved forward quickly, and pieces of soil were shoveled up. When it met the inclined plow wall, it flipped to the side.
Everyone present could clearly see that the water buffalo was advancing very quickly!
They didn't even need to drive them. The cow easily pulled the plow and walked away, as if it was effortless!
The excitement in their eyes was almost overflowing!
"Another deep ploughing!"
After a round of plowing, Wen Rongtai adjusted his plowing and arrows again, and the plowing shovel immediately dug deep into the soil.
And with this change, the speed of the bull did not decrease at all.
Large pieces of soil were quickly plowed up and turned to both sides!
"This…"
"It's good! It's really useful!"
"If that's the case, go ahead. A flexible, effortless, and swift plow is truly a divine item!”
Wen Rongtai's entire body trembled, and all the pores on his body seemed to have opened up at this moment. He actually praised loudly on the spot, like a child eating candy.
He was so excited that he drove the cow and actually forgot about everything. He forgot about the people and things around him and happily worked in the fields.
Even without him saying anything, the civilians and soldiers who saw this scene with their own eyes widened their eyes.
"You can use this?"
At this moment, Wen Rongtai spoke slowly. The surrounding soldiers and civilians nodded.
"How about this, you can come to the county government three days later to collect it. Each family can rent one to you for a year.”
"Sow it on the farmlands reclaimed by the city guards. Leave 40% of the grain and give the rest to you.”
"How is it?"
"Oh right, this twenty percent includes taxes to the Imperial Court.”
