Facing the angry glare of the Royal Advisor, Mo Zhongxing finally became nimble. He put the silk into his pocket, mounted his horse, and galloped into the city.
"Hmph, I can't be put in an important position."
Elder Wang snorted coldly.
Qin ruled the country with Legalism, and the Confucians and Mohism assisted it. Because the Ancestral Dragon did not like the Confucians 'enfeoffment, the Confucians were suppressed by the Mohism and had never been on good terms with them.
After Old Master Wang finished talking, he turned his attention to the cow and horse. Together with the officials and nobles, they tried to move the nose ring.
……
……
As a man of science and engineering, Mo Zhongxing was simple and honest, but he was extremely meticulous in his work. With Great Qin's unique craftsman work system, he was able to create a new set of farming tools in an instant.
In less than an hour, Mo Zhongxing had already driven the carriage back with the new farming tools.
As for the old man, he was still walking around with the nose rings of the cows and horses. Seeing that he had returned so quickly, he was a little resentful."Flatterer."
“……”
Mo Zhongxing was in the wrong and could not be bothered with this Confucian old man anymore. He took out a manual rice harvester from the carriage and walked in front of Emperor Fu Su."Your Majesty, please take a look. Is this item to your liking?”
"We'll know once we try."
Fu Su picked up a bundle of late rice harvested by the commoners and put all the ears of rice into the feed mouth.
Mo Zhongxing hurriedly shook the handle and heard a sizzling sound. When Fu Su pulled out the ear of rice again, there was only a bundle of rice stalks left.
As for the rice grains, they had already fallen through the discharge hole below.
In ancient times, this kind of husked rice could be used to pay land taxes. When it was eaten, it could be pounded with a pestle or ground with a stone mill. It would become white polished rice!
"Hiss ~!"
When Old Wang Guesthouse and the other officials saw this, they couldn't help but gasp.
"What…what kind of divine artifact is in this box?" Wang Shang asked in shock.”
Ever since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the process of harvesting rice had always been a laborious and tedious labor.
It would be better if they had animal power at home. They had to pull the stone roller and roll it several times to separate the rice from the straw.
Without animal power, they would have to use flails to beat the crops bit by bit, or use their hands to smash the stalks. One could imagine how difficult it would be…
However, the wooden box in front of him only needed two people to work together. One person turned the handle, and the other put the ear into it. In the blink of an eye, it was already completely peeled.
In everyone's eyes, this was no different from a divine artifact!
"Everyone, come and give it a try."
Fu Su smiled and made way for them, indicating for the officials to try it themselves.
Wang Shang and Old Man Wang did not stand on ceremony and took over Fu Su's position. Each of them picked up a bundle of rice and put the rice ear into the feed opening.
Mo Zhongxing had no choice but to continue turning the handle.
Swoosh--
Swoosh--
Swoosh--
The two kings were very happy to play.
A group of officials and dignitaries also joined in, giving it a try.
However, this was hard on Mo Zhongxing, who was turning the handle. When his hand got sore, he changed to the pedal. When the pedal got tired, he changed to the hand. The dignified person who ate thousands of stones had become a real coolie!
"Alright, stop playing."
When Mo Zhongxing saw that an entire mu of rice had been peeled, he decisively stopped everyone. Then, he opened the dome cover and checked the situation inside.
The officials and nobles were extremely curious, and they all stuck their heads out to take a look. Wang Shang and Old Wang even wanted to stuff their heads in to find out what was going on.
However, when they saw the internal structure clearly, they were all stunned."Just this…"
Inside the cover was a cylindrical drum covered with thick and short bamboo thorns, crisscrossed with canine teeth. At first glance, it looked rather simple and crude.
The principle was extremely simple, and it was obvious at a glance!
"If the bamboo thorns on the cylinder were replaced with iron nails, the effect of the weeding would be better and it would be more durable.”Elder Wang couldn't help but suggest.
Fu Su shook his head and said," I created this machine to promote it to the world so that the common people who are proficient in carpentry can make it themselves. Therefore, we should save as much as possible. Otherwise, the common people will not be able to afford it.”
The old man nodded in realization. Then, he straightened his crown and bowed solemnly. He praised,"Your Majesty is worried about the people.”
"We bow."
Wang Shang and the officials followed suit and bowed in praise.
Fu Su didn't expect to see a wave of horses. He had goosebumps and waved his hand speechlessly.""Alright, stop singing praises in the future…Mo Qing, bring down the other new farming tools and see how they work.”
"Here."
Mo Zhongxing accepted the order and returned to the carriage, taking out a few farming tools from the back of the carriage.
These farming tools were not much more complicated than the thrusters. The only thing worth noting was that they all had iron plows and were relatively expensive.
The plows were not the so-called curved shaft plows, but the more convenient and easy to use push-pull plows of later generations. The front was a single wooden wheel, and the back was a reverse-inclined plow share. They were connected by simple wooden frames. Two handrails extended backward, reaching the waist, making it easy to hold and exert strength. The depth of the cultivated land could be controlled at will. It could be pushed and pulled by humans or pulled by cattle and horses.
Moreover, this kind of plow had many benefits.
He only needed to change the plowshare to a horizontal long rake, and it would become a harrow plow again. It would shatter the soil after plowing, which was beneficial for later cultivation and crop growth.
If the plow head was replaced with a triangular shovel, it would be a divine weapon for ridging, cultivating, and weeding. Pushing it in the field would form a ridge and remove all the weeds, saving the pain of bending over and hoeing…In his previous life, Fusu followed his parents to do farm work in the countryside. He had operated this kind of hand-pushed plow many times. It was simply too time-saving and energy-saving!
……
Other than the push-pull plow, there were two simple light carts. They were divided into single-legged light carts operated by one person and three-legged light carts pulled by cattle and horses.
The single-legged hearse had a single wooden wheel at the front and two handrails at the back. It was no different from the common manual seeder in the future. It used leather instead of chains to drive the seeds.
The three-legged hearse was equipped with two wheels on the left and right, which were pulled by cattle and horses and driven by ratchets to plant seeds.
……
Mo Zhongxing had learned his lesson this time. He was no longer in a hurry to work as a coolie. Instead, he called over the people who were harvesting crops nearby and let them experiment on the harvested land.
Wang Shang, Wang Lao Guan, and the other officials naturally had no objections.
After all, when it came to managing the fields, the people had the most say. Whether the new farming tools were good or not, it was only effective if the farmers spoke!
The people who were called over trembled in fear. Under the watchful eyes of Fu Su and the officials, they were nervous and terrified. They even walked awkwardly.
However, when they put the bridles on the cows and horses and began to try out their farming tools, their nervousness and fear were immediately thrown out of the clouds. They were all so excited that they could not control themselves.
"I've been working on the fields for my entire life. Why did I think of installing wheels in front of the plow?”
"This wheelbarrow with wheels can probably grow acres in a day. It's more convenient than digging soil and planting!”
"Oh my god, why does the noble have such a long head? You can even create treasures?"
