Two thousand nine are added to the change, brothers, the monthly pass is 278, and there are twenty-two, and there are additions Twenty soldiers from Zhangjiagou went to war, and more than 30 men were also recruited by the government to serve as civil transporters.
There were more than 50 strong men in the village all of a sudden, and there was a lot less excitement.
Now Zhang Chao has an exclusive cave.
Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang's two fathers' guards also went to fight, and the retinue of the two guys didn't need to go to the battlefield, but they were transferred to other military attachés as retinues, and their two-month service period this year has not yet ended.
It turned out that six people slept in one room, and Zhang Chao always thought about when he would be able to live alone, but when everyone was gone, he felt a little nostalgic for the original.
In the evening, after dinner, after dark, you can also call two landlords on the kang table and chat for a while.
Zhang Chao, who was lonely and bored, took out his notebook, and after charging it with a solar charger last time, he still has some electricity.
But the computer is not connected, and it is just as sad.
I was very bored, bolted the door, put on headphones, watched a movie, and became even more empty and bored after watching. couldn't sleep again, Zhang Chao had to take the computer and look through some information.
After reading the New Tang Dynasty Book and the Old Tang Book, Zhang Chao felt a little bored, which simply recorded some major events of the year, and it was really a little far away from Zhang Chao.
In the end, he looked for some papers written by experts on ancient agriculture and other materials.
The water wheels such as overturned, well-car, and barrel-car are now available, and Zhang Chao's bathroom is building a well car and a rollover.
However, after looking through the information, Zhang Chao did find a very advanced farm tool that is not available at the moment.
Quyuan plow, also known as Dongjiang plow.
According to the data, it was first invented in the Dongjiang area of the late Tang Dynasty, and the current plough is a straight and long plow, and the plough is very heavy, and two oxen are often needed to plough the field at the same time.
And this new curved plow, there are several major improvements, first of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is installed at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn around and turn, the operation is flexible, saving manpower and animal power, and the new plough only needs a cow on the line.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but pat his legs, why didn't he notice this before.
The Zhang family now has more than 1,000 acres of land, and if this new plough is built, it will not only greatly help their tenant farmers, but even if it is sold as a commodity, it will definitely make money by asking some carpenters to open a farm tool shop to sell plows.
It's not even good, if you can enter the official mansion, well, maybe you can get a reward.
Zhang Chao found a detailed record of the Quyuan plow, which is composed of a total of 11 parts, namely the ploughshare, the plough wall, the plough bottom, the pressure of the plough, the forehead, the plough arrow, the plough wheel, the plough tip, the plough evaluation, the plough building and the plough plate.
There are also detailed drawings on the materials, as well as restoration drawings and production methods.
Now the plough used by the Tang people is a long straight plough, this kind of plough is not flexible enough to turn back when ploughing the land, and the soil is laborious and inefficient.
The plough body can swing during the operation of the short curved plough, full of maneuverability, can be deep ploughing, and light and flexible, conducive to rotation, quite suitable for the characteristics of water in the paddy field in the south of the Yangtze River, so the short curved plough first appeared in Jiangdong in history.
However, the short curved plow is just as good in Guanzhong.
The short curved plough increases the plough and the plough arrow, and the plough is promoted, so that the plow arrow can be downward, and the ploughshare can penetrate deeper into the soil, which is suitable for deep ploughing.
If the plough is raised, the plough arrow is upward, and the ploughshare into the soil is shallow, and shallow tillage is applicable.
This effortless adjustment is conducive to intensive farming.
Moreover, the plough wall can not only break the soil, but also push the ploughed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plough forward.
Historically, once the Quyuan plough came out, it was quickly promoted, and until the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no obvious change in the general structure.
The curved plough of the Song Dynasty only made the plough shorter and more curved, reducing the number of parts, pressing the plough and other parts, and making the plow body structure more light.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the development of iron smelting, iron wheels began to be made.
Zhang Chao felt that he could directly take out the short plough that was very mature in the Song Dynasty.
A mature short curved plough is not complicated, after reducing and optimizing the structure, even only twenty or thirty catties, one hand can carry it away.
The whole plough is made of wood except for the plough blade, which is made of iron, and the cost is not high.
In fact, if you want to be lighter, you can also use steel for both the plough and the plough wall, which are lighter.
Nowadays, however, the price of iron is extremely high, so except for the plough blade, which uses an iron spout, the rest is replaced by wood, including the inclined plough wall.
Even the plough blade is only the tip of the front is made of iron and sleeved on the wood, so as to minimize the use of iron and reduce costs.
The more excited Zhang Chaoyue is, this can make a big news.
Taking out a pen and paper, Zhang Chao copied the mature Quyuan plough of the Song Dynasty from the computer, patterns, accessories, production methods, etc.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Chao got up.
He didn't practice his gun for the first time, so he went to find Keshan's carpenter uncle.
Carpenter Ke is now building a waterwheel for Zhang Chao's bathroom with his apprentices and grandchildren.
A well cart that pulls water from a well, and the well cart brings the water up from the well and into a canal.
The water flows into a dug tank, and then a water tower is built next to the tank, and a cylinder truck is erected in the tank to bring the water to the water tower.
The water tower is connected by a bamboo tube that can carry water to all parts of the bathroom.

Uncle Ke is an old carpenter, and he can make well cars and tube cars.
However, Zhang Chao felt that these carpenters' skills were really good, and they didn't even use a nail or glue to make well cars and tube cars, all of which were mortise and tenon structures, which were quite firm.
Even with just an axe, they can cut a log into a square piece of wood, an axe and a planer, a saw and a chisel, they can create all kinds of things.
It's just that time is a bit slow.
With a well car and a cylinder car, Uncle Ke had to take a few of his apprentices and grandchildren to work for a month.
"Eighth uncle, please help me get something."
Zhang Chao showed the drawings he had drawn to Ke Baye.
"This is a plow" Ke Baye took the drawing and looked at it, and immediately saw it.
"This plough is a little strange, why is it bent, and it is so short, and many places are different from what we use now."
Zhang Chao smiled, "What does the eighth uncle think of this plow?"
"It's hard to say, where have you seen such a plow, is it easy to use" Ke Ba didn't make up his mind right away.
"Eighth uncle, this is called the Quyuan plow, which is lighter than the straight plow, and more convenient and easy to use, plowing the same depth of the ground, the Quyuan plow only needs an ox to pull easily."
"It's really so easy to use" Ke Baye was surprised, if it was really like what Zhang Chao said, it would be to save a cow.
A cow can top five strong laborers, in the past, when we had no oxen, we could only have a treadmill, the treadmill is similar to the shovel, you have to step on the shovel one foot at a time, five laborers with a treadmill shovel for a day, it is only equivalent to a day with an ox plow.
"What are these things like?"
Ke Ba is worthy of being an old carpenter, and he immediately saw the three parts of the plow construction, the plow evaluation, and the plow arrow.
Zhang Chao told him that these three were the parts that adjusted the depth of the plough shovel.
Through these three components, you can easily achieve the effect of thinking deeply, thinking deeply, and shallowly.
Ke Baye has been listening more and more seriously, and his eyes are shining.
The old man didn't say a word and put down the original thing in his hand, just took the drawings and compared them for a long time, then ran to pick two good pieces of wood and came back, picked up the axe and began to sharpen it.
"Do you want to find a bent wood for this curved wheel?"
asked Zhang Chao standing on the side.
"No, just cut one out."
Ke Baye couldn't wait.
Ke Baye called all his apprentices and grandchildren over, asked them to stop the work of the waterwheel at hand, and all of them came to make new plows, and he divided the tasks and everyone did the same.
Zhang Chao just sat there and watched, discussing the specific details with Ke Baye from time to time.
It only took more than half a day of effort, and Ke Baye and the others had already figured out all the parts of the Quyuan plow.
Looking at the parts that were placed on the ground and still exuded the fragrance of fresh wood, Zhang Chao was also very excited and finally came out.
The final assembly was operated by Ke Baye himself, the axe bell bell, and after a while, a curved plough had been formed.
An all-wooden short-curved plough is completed by placing a plow blade on the tip of the plough bed.
Ke Baye folded a plough directly from his own plow, and then put it on a new plow.
"It's finished" Ke Baye circled the plow a few times, picked up the plow and tried it in his hand, and finally held the tip of the plow to try the feel.
"Do you want to lead the cow to try" No matter how beautiful the plow is, if you haven't tried it, you can't know if it's good or not.
"Then try."
Ke Baye personally carried the plow, and Zhang Chao and others followed.
He led the cattle from Keba's house, and then came to a vacant lot outside the village, which was a field of rotation, and after a few years of cultivation, in order to accumulate fertility, he had to fallow for a season.
Put a bend on the ox and tie it with a plough rope and hook it with the plough.
"Let's start with a shallow plow."
Ke Ba said excitedly, and then adjusted the plow.
"Hi" Ke Baye shook the ox rope, the buffalo began to move with the plow on his back, the plow shovel shoveled into the ground, the ox pulled the plow forward, the soil shoveled up, encountered the inclined plow wall, and the soil turned to the side.
There is no need to rush, and the oxen can easily carry the plough on their backs.
Although Ke Baye is a carpenter, he usually farms, and he immediately felt that it was very easy to hold this plow, and it was not very laborious, which was impossible with the previous straight plow.
The original long straight plough was at least twice as heavy as this plow, and it was difficult to plow to master.
After plowing, Ke Baye immediately adjusted the plow to evaluate the plow.
He's going to try deep ploughing now, and if deep ploughing works just as well, then the plow is really perfect.

"Hi" Again, this time the plough was much deeper, but the buffalo barely slowed down, and the large chunks of earth quickly ploughed up and turned to both sides.
"It's easy to use, it's really easy to use."
The eighth master had just ploughed halfway before he shouted.
Only after using it did he know that this plow was really so easy to use.
"Is it really easy to use?"
asked Zhang Chao.
"It's better than the original plow, with this plow, only one ox pulls the plow faster than the original two oxen, and the plow is not tired, easy" Zhang Chao smiled, laughing very happily, last night was not in vain. t1706231537:
