Chapter 108 The magical artifact iron plow reveals its sharpness!

As a lord on one side, Yao Yun only cares about two things most, one is soldiers and the other is food and grass.

Food and grass are the foundation of survival, and soldiers are the reliance on survival. Both are indispensable.

The Sui Army was trained by Cangman, and it would not take long to transform from an ordinary army into a powerful army that could force Qi training.

Yao Yun could finally breathe a sigh of relief for the soldiers and horses.

At present, Yao Yun’s next focus is on food.

In this primitive era of material scarcity, food was in short supply, and anything related to food was a huge matter.

Now that autumn is approaching, spring plowing is about to begin, everyone is focused on farming.

The weather is warming up, and the frozen soil in winter becomes soft, and it is time to overturn the soil.

Every time this time, farmers will turn over the soil with plows.

A plow is similar to a shovel. When used, it is to insert the tip into the soil, then step on the beam with your feet to make it penetrate deeper, and then turn it out. This process is to turn the soil, which can make the land soft and facilitate grain growth.

It is said that the invention of the plow was made by Emperor Yan who saw the wild boar digging soil and imitated the wild boar digging soil and loosening the ground.

The invention of the plow is of great significance, which has raised the farming technology of Zhuxia to another level, and is a great start to intensive cultivation and fine planting.

However, plowing and turning over soil is a very tiring job.

The farmers go out early and come back late, and they can’t find much land even if they work hard for a day.

But for the sake of good harvest, the farmers have no choice. No matter how hard they work, they can only work hard.

The same is true for the people of Xidu this year. Seeing that the snow completely melted, the farmers couldn't wait to carry farm tools such as plows and hoes to go down the field to turn over the soil.

"Don't go over the soil for now. The king is going to test the new agricultural tools. Let's go and have a look!"

On the ridge of the fields, a dark man ran around and told him.

"Black Dog, what farm tools should the king test?"

"I heard it's called an iron plow, which is used to turn the ground. Don't ask so much, hurry up and take a look. I heard that this thing has turned the ground so well. With it in the future, we can cultivate more land!"

“Where is it?”

"At the foot of Turtle Mountain!"

As everyone ran around and told me, the news that the king was going to test the new farm tools spread throughout Xidu.

In winter, it was circulating in Xidu City that the king ordered craftsmen to create new farm tools, which could make turning the ground easy and everyone can cultivate more land in the future.

Before, most people used it as a rumor, listening to it, and not taking it seriously.

But the farmers were surprised and looked forward to the fact that they suddenly heard that the king had really created such a magical artifact.

Not long after, Turtle Mountain not far from Xidu was filled with people.

The so-called Turtle Mountain is actually not considered a mountain, it can only be called a small earth bun. One side of the mountain is only ten feet from the other side, and you will run around Turtle Mountain after urinating.

Turtle Mountain is very small, and hundreds or thousands of people are coming in one after another, and it seems a little crowded. The farmers stand on the uphill one by one, waiting quietly for the king to bring it.

Not long after, the palace guards opened the way, and Yao Yun and his group arrived at the scene.

In this world, farming is the foundation of a country and the top priority. Therefore, Wu Tong and Bald Dragon were not absent and came with Yao Yun.

The two old men were also looking forward to the iron plow mentioned by the king (the prince) and allowed the people to cultivate more land. If there was such a treasure, Xi would not worry about being underdeveloped!

"Meet the king!"

The farmers all bowed to the ground.

"No gift!"

Yao Yun walked on the tiger's steps and came to the ridge of the fields.

The farmers stretched their necks one by one, looking forward to the king's next move.

Yao Yun did not take out the iron plow, but walked towards an old farmer carrying a plow and said with a smile:

"Old man, can you ask your son to demonstrate how the plows plow up the land and turn over the soil for the orphan?"

Yao Yun didn't learn much good things in his previous life, but he always remembered the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young. Even in this world, Yao Yun respected the elderly very much.

The old farmer was obviously a little flattered and said in panic: "It's the king, son, hurry up, why are you standing stupidly!"

The young man next to the old farmer immediately jumped off the ridge with a plow and showed how to use a plow to turn over the soil.

The other farmers who were watching the fun looked at each other, their eyes full of strange colors. You must have seen the plows and hoes turning over the soil!

The bald dragon covers his face and feels embarrassing.

No one expressed his thoughts and watched the old farmer's son turn over the soil one by one.

The process is very simple. The lever section of the plow is pierced into the soil, step on the blade, and wait until the sharp blade enters the soil and provokes it outward, and the soil can rise up, and a piece of soil will rise up. The old farmer's son will take a step back and repeat the previous actions.

The technique of turning over soil with a plow is not very difficult, but it is very labor-intensive and time-consuming. Not to mention the fact that the soil is not overturned deeply, you can imagine the workload of turning over a small piece of soil, a small piece of soil, and a mu of land.

The old farmer's son flipped it quickly, much faster than usual, and soon he flipped a long strip, but at this moment the old farmer's son's forehead was already covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Yao Yun said, "Okay, stop, you're doing well."

The old farmer's son ran over and kept wiping his hands and giggling.

The old farmer glared at his son, "Idiot, the king asked you to demonstrate, you really worked hard. If the king's iron plow is not as fast as you, wouldn't it be a loss to the king's face?"

The old farmer said in panic: "My king, my son is a little stupid. We usually turn over soil much slower than this one, otherwise we will spend all our strength long ago and the land behind us will not be able to be plowed."

Yao Yun smiled slightly: "Gu understands, but even if your son uses all his strength, Gu is not satisfied with the plow and hoe turning over the soil. It is too slow and laborious. It is so time-consuming and labor-intensive that he can cultivate several acres of land in a year!"

The old farmer was timid and quickly said yes.

When the king said this, the people felt deeply that it was really tiring to plow and plow the soil on the plow and plow the soil. After working one day, I was basically exhausted by night, and my back was sore.

Such heavy work has long left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

But they have no choice. If they don’t work, they will have no food to eat and they will starve to death!

Seeing that the farmers looked sad and knew that it was almost done, Yao Yun ordered the soldiers beside him to give orders.

Soon, the soldiers brought a black cow with a ring on the nose and a rein on the hands of the soldiers. There was also a soldier carrying an iron plow behind them.

The people of Xidu stretched their necks one by one, rushing to observe the black cow and the iron plow.

"Is this the iron plow made by the craftsman of the king's will? It's so special. This is made of the best iron. I wonder if there is a plow or hoe that is easy to use!"

"The king ordered people to create it, it will definitely be easy to use."

"But look at the iron plow, it seems to be quite heavy. I think it's hard to hold it, will it be more laborious?"

"Why are you still leading a cow? Is it related to the iron plow?"

...

The people pointed at the iron plow and the black cow, whispered and talked a lot.

Everyone was extremely expecting what happened next, as did Wu Tong and Bald Dragon. They had heard a lot from the king (the prince) before and knew a little about it.

But no matter how much you hear, it is better to see it with your own eyes!
