A light, short curved shaft plow, also known as the Jiangdong plow.
However, it has nothing to do with Kodong of this era.
It first appeared in the Dongjiang area in the late Tang Dynasty, and its appearance was a sign of the maturity of the Chinese nation's farming tools.
"We are using this long straight shaft plow at this time."
In the arsenal, Ma Chao would not be surprised at all when he would take out Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, let alone a coupling plow.
After all, the arsenal is really all-encompassing now.
With that said, Ma Chao squatted down, pointed to the long straight shaft plow's coulter and continued: "Such a long straight coulter makes it difficult to turn back and turn when plowing, and it takes a lot of effort to lift the soil, so the efficiency is not very high."
"My lord wants to improve this plow."
Zhou Maitian had no interest in the columbine and the plow, and was still immersed in the experiment of the barrel car.
The person who said this was Zheng Hun, who was more tolerant in thinking.
"That's right," Ma Chao pointed at the river simulated by Zhou Maitian and said, "I just said that the best is like water, which is smooth and has no front but can spread to the mountains and rivers.
Does Wen Gong know why this is?"
Zheng Hun's face began to look serious.
He watched Zhou Maitian carefully as he poured water from the broken basin over and over again.
His brows furrowed, but he finally replied dejectedly: "You are in a humble position and have little talent and little knowledge.
If anything happens, I hope you will make it clear." ” "If the water flow does not compete, it will infiltrate everything.
The same principle applies to plowing the soil.
As long as we can imitate the long straight plow into the shape of the water flow, the plow body can swing during operation, making it highly maneuverable.
It is convenient for deep plowing and is light and flexible, making it easy to maneuver.”
Hearing what Ma Chao said, Zheng Hun seemed to have some insights.
He got up and ran to Zhou Maitian, scooped up a bowl of water from the basin and poured it on the ground to see what the water looked like.
But Ma Chao felt a little guilty at this moment: Although Qu Yuuli did have some relationship with the paddy fields in Jiangdong, wasn't it too abominable for him to deceive Zheng Hun like this?
Sure enough, after Zheng Hun spilled several bowls of water, he still came over with a sad face and said shamefully: "My Lord, I really don't know the shape of this water."
"The water flow is invisible, so how can someone simulate it.
But as long as the long straight plow is changed to a curved short plow, the soil turning efficiency can be greatly increased.
Moreover," Ma Chao squatted down again and pointed at the long straight shaft plow.
The bottom said: "Here, you can also add plowing and plowing.
If you advance the plowing, you can make the plow arrow downward, and the plowshare will penetrate deeper into the soil.
If you lift it When the plow is pressed, the plow arrow points upward, and the plow share is inserted shallowly into the soil.
The organic combination of the plow blade, plow arrow and plow construction of the coupling plow can adapt to the different requirements of deep or shallow plowing, and can adjust the depth of the cultivated land.
Standardized, it facilitates intensive farming.
The plow wall can not only break up the soil, but also push the plowed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plow. " As he listened, Zheng Hun was already filled with admiration for Ma Chao: "My lord, could it be that he is really a descendant of heaven?
Why do you not only know the mysteries of iron, refined salt purification, and glass, but you also know so much about the art of farming?"
Ma Chao's face was as thick as Fufeng's city wall, and he didn't blush at all.
Instead, with an expression of melancholy and hatred, he said with a hint of sadness: "Wenshan, everything in the world can be learned and improved.
I am not a descendant of heaven, I just have more observation eyes than you.
It’s just a brain that loves to think.
But you, as a master silver craftsman in the arsenal, are only working behind closed doors in this ten-mile place, really.”
"My lord taught me a very good lesson, and I will keep my humble position in my heart.
In the future, I will definitely read more and think more, and live up to my lord's expectations."
Zheng Hun kowtowed and blamed himself, with a very pious look on his face.
"Well, it's not just you, all the craftsmen in the arsenal must have this idea of innovation and improvement.
Our arsenal's promotion and salary increase system is not written to make everyone hope for nothing."
Ma Chao almost missed the chance.
He even said this idiom.

Fortunately, he remembered in time that Boss Cao had not deceived his subordinates at this time, so he changed his words in time.
"I understand."
Although these words were extremely plain, Ma Chao believed that Zheng Hun had already remembered them deeply in his heart.
And through his words and deeds and subtle influence as a technical director, the innovative thinking of the entire arsenal will gradually improve.
From this, Ma Chao felt proud again and said: "Well, you must make these two things before spring plowing next year, so that they can be used by the people of Yongzhou.
There is a shortage of craftsmen, so you can find Han.
Feng goes to ask for it.
As for the barrel truck, we will establish two pilot projects first, and I will naturally let the newly established Ministry of Industry take charge of this matter."
After saying this, Ma Chao originally planned to take it back.
But Zheng Hun suddenly remembered something, and used a grappling hand no less powerful than Zhou Maitian's, grabbed Ma Chao's sleeves and said: "My lord, the arsenal has thoroughly studied the chariot you sent a few days ago, and returned it to us."
Some minor improvements have been made, I don’t know.”
"Oh."
After hearing the news, Ma Chao's eyes lit up and he said cheerfully: "Lead the way."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Maitian who was still playing in the water.
Ma Chao smiled strangely again: This guy, it seems that he will have some snacks in the future.
However, should we get him to the Ministry of Industry as a technical director, or should we get him to the Ministry of War as a coach?
Giving up the immature thoughts in his mind, Ma Chao had already passed through the forging house and arrived at the warehouse.
When he opened the door, what appeared in front of him was the heavy assault vehicle led by Dong Cheng during the Battle of Qiaowu.
However, after careful observation, Ma Chao discovered that this heavy ramming vehicle had indeed been improved.
The large halberd in front of the vehicle was replaced by three large halberds, one long and two short, to ensure the continuous collision of the chariot. power.
The straight thorns on the shafts were also changed to iron barbs, which not only made them more powerful in breaking defenses, but also increased their lethality.
What surprised Ma Chao even more was that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, two cold-blooded butchers, actually added another seat to the side of the driver, with a simple version of a crossbow chariot placed in front of it.
It is conceivable that once such a chariot goes out, , as long as they form a forward formation and launch a suicide attack, no matter what kind of elite troops they are, they will be frightened and their souls will be scattered.
Of course, in terms of other defenses, Zheng Hun also made modifications to make the entire tank look like an ancient version of a tank, solid and impregnable.
Such a violent visual impact immediately made Ma Chao imagine that these tanks would be put into the battlefield.
The terrifying power of It wasn't until after watching it over and over again that Ma Chao discovered that Pu Yuan and Han Feng were also present.
From this, Ma Chao asked Han Feng: "How many chariots does the Ma family have now?"
Han Feng's face turned dark for a moment, and he was speechless at Ma Chao's question: "My lord, this is the first improved chariot.
If we improve it as soon as possible, there should be about fifty of them in ten days.
And if it is made by Ma Chao, I'm afraid it will take some time for direct production at home.
After all, the manpower in the arsenal is already somewhat insufficient."
"Fifty vehicles."
Ma Chao sighed: "Fifty vehicles can almost control a small battle.
It seems that Ma's Arsenal is about to undergo its second expansion."
When Han Feng, Zheng Hun, and Pu Yuan heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy.
They clasped their fists and said at the same time: "My lord is wise."
s: Today’s guarantee has ended.
In the afternoon, it’s time to update Mu Yuanfeng.
There are no plowed fields, only exhausted cows.
Come on, am I a little too evil?
