With the burst of ideas brought about by the barrel cart, many outstanding representatives of ancient farming equipment flashed in Ma Chao's mind.
After screening, Ma Chao believed that there were two tools that could be used in Yongzhou’s farming business next year.
"Before entering Chang'an, sowing crop seeds on a Guan farm was still the most primitive method of sowing by hand.
Could it be that in this era, there are no columbines yet?"
In fact, the scope of Ma's arsenal now extends beyond weapons manufacturing.
To be more practical, this arsenal is already the scientific research center of the Ma family.
Whether it is military, agricultural, or even political construction, all are developed and manufactured by the arsenal.
Among Ma's industries such as Ma's farms, arsenals, ranches, and shops, Ma Chao always puts the arsenal first.
Because he knows that technology will always be the first factor in promoting social production.
"Columbine cart" Zheng Hun was stunned at first, and then said: "But during the Emperor Wu period, Zhao Guo was making columbians and gave him the method of replacing the fields to increase the yield of dry land."
"Yes, it's exactly what Cui Shizhenglun mentioned above.
It's a sharp tool that can sow 667 acres a day.
It's called a columbine."
At this point, Ma Chao's face looked a little heavy and he stared at Zheng Hun and said slowly. : "It has only been two hundred years since Emperor Wu, so this sharp weapon will also disappear, right?"
Zheng Hun was ashamed and speechless, and just nodded silently.
When Ma Chao saw Zheng Hun's expression, he also sighed deeply: He suddenly discovered a big problem, that is inheritance.
The Chinese nation has never lacked wisdom, but how much of its wisdom has been annihilated by the iron heel of war.
Every time the Chinese society develops to the extreme, it will encounter war.
The demon Zhan Luan used iron hoofs, sabers and blood to ravage the greatest nation on the planet.
The Chinese nation is good at building mansions from ruins.
This is its pride and its sorrow.
Because a nation that is good at creating is not good at persevering, the Lord of God allowed war to rob it of everything when it was at its most glorious.
The civilization and wisdom of the Chinese nation are like leeks that are cut one after another.
Every time it is cut, it has to start all over again.
Every time it is cut, the wisdom and wealth of the ancestors are damaged.
Precious books were used as fire starters, and ingenious farm tools were lost in the long river of history.
Ma Chao didn't even need to think about it to know that the loss of the columbine was directly related to Wang Mang's usurpation of power.
Because he knows too well the harm that war has done to the Chinese nation.
"The columbine only needs a curved frame, a few coulters, and a few legs for sowing.
Why hasn't the arsenal proposed to restore such a simple and effective tool?"
The principle of the columbine is very simple, it can almost be said It makes no sense at all.
It just relies on the strength of the plowshare and the speed of human and animal power to cultivate seeds.
After listening to Zheng Hun's explanation, Ma Chao knew that he had wrongly blamed Zheng Hun.
"My lord, it's not that I didn't think of this, but it's easy to restore the columbine, but it requires my lord to promote its application.
During those days, you were in Chang'an, so after the report was submitted to the provincial government for review, you have not yet Order the Zhongshu Province to come up with practical promotion laws."
Zheng Hun is a bit enthusiastic about officialdom, but this is also his advantage.
Ma Chao asked him to assist Han Feng in managing the technical aspects of the arsenal because he valued his understanding of the world better than those pure craftsmen.
And this answer is indeed in line with the thinking of ancient farmers.
They are so industrious that they would rather sow seeds with their own hands and let the crops that sprout into plants gather together to compete with each other for water, sunlight and nutrients, and they also have to endure the trouble of being unable to weed.
But he is also unwilling to look for the light of wisdom of the sages.
Because they believe that this shows their sincerity and hard work, and God will give them a good harvest.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao really felt that he could not fit into this era.
Because there are indeed too many differences between him and the ancients, and these differences cannot be proven by reason and facts.
Instead, they must take a long time to be integrated into each other.
Fortunately, the humble Chinese nation still has a very despicable mentality, which is to obey power politics.

Ma Chao is now the shepherd of Yongzhou, and he represents the most powerful power in Yongzhou.
As long as Ma Chao uses force to implement Yongzhou's agricultural reforms, the people of Yongzhou will definitely implement it because of this irresistible reason.
And this is a fact that cannot be expressed in words.
"Meng Wen, it has now entered the deep winter season.
With the new policy reforms promoted in various parts of Yongzhou, the number of wasteland that needs to be reclaimed will definitely increase a lot next year.
And my request for the arsenal is to ensure the output quality of the Ma family's weapons and vigorously develop farming.
Equipment.
At least, this columbine and The barrel truck must be developed by the end of this year."
After saying this, Ma Chao still didn't want Zheng Hun to be tainted with too much officialdom, so he continued: "As for promotion, you don't have to worry, I will order the Ministry of Education to issue a plan. , promoted by Shangshu Province."
After his mood recovered, "I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Regarding this request, Zheng Hun felt his heart surging, and he agreed without any hesitation.
After all, he is still a craftsman at heart, and his pursuit is to benefit the people and leave an eternal reputation.
But at this time, Ma Chao felt a little uncomfortable, because he suddenly remembered that it seemed that his second tool had not been revealed yet.
From this, he insinuated: "Because of the relationship between the Han and Qiang trading houses, the number of cattle in Yongzhou can basically be divided into one ox per mile.
If only one ox can plow farmland, that would be even better." " In the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the administrative unit below the county level was divided into three levels: township, pavilion and li.
Generally speaking, one li was composed of one hundred households, one pavilion was represented by ten li, and one township was composed of ten pavilions.
The chief of the township is Zhi and Shifu, who has the responsibilities of Youyou in charge of public security, the township assistant in collecting taxes, and the three elders in charge of education; the chief of the pavilion is in charge of public security, and the chief of the pavilion is responsible for the public security, and the chief of the li is Likuili.
Yes, they are mainly autonomous chiefs elected by region and clan.
Officials in townships and pavilions are generally appointed and dismissed by superior authorities such as counties and counties, but Li Kui Li Zheng is elected by the villagers themselves.
During busy farming times, people like Li Zheng organized and distributed cattle and farm tools for orderly farming.
The reason why Ma Chao proposed the idea of farming with one ox was because at this time, people still used two oxen and three people to plow together, that is, two oxen and two oxen, pulling a plow in total, one person leads the oxen, one person presses the shaft, and one person holds the plow.
It is said that the cultivated land can be cultivated to five hectares.
But although Yongzhou is already a big state with cattle, it still cannot meet the needs of timely farming during the busy farming season.
Sometimes the best sowing period is missed because of the distance between the two areas.
This situation was witnessed by Ma Chao with his own eyes when he occasionally went to the fields.
"My Lord, if there is a columbine for sowing, one family can operate it.
However, the plow needs to be pulled by two oxen to turn over the soil at the same time.
Although your idea is wonderful, it is difficult to realize."
Zheng Hun waved his hand.
Just as Ma Chao expected, he said these words.
The horse smiled supernaturally and mysteriously: "What if I can also invent a plow that allows an ox and one person to plow five hectares, and can also plow the land deeply to achieve the purpose of intensive farming?"
s: You may get angry later in the morning, so let’s start the first update now.
This chapter talks about the columbine, which indicates that Comrade Mu Yuanfeng will work hard in the future.
Haha:
