The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 36: Old Li Tou went to the ground in person

Going further, everyone saw many villagers working in the fields.

The villagers also looked over and waved hello when they saw Zhao Chen.

"Brother Zhao, have you had breakfast?"

"Brother Zhao, come to my house for dinner at noon. Your Aunt Wang specially slaughtered a chicken today."

"Brother Zhao, be careful on the field ridge under your feet. There is mud and it is slippery."

The simple shouts made Li Shimin and Queen Changsun filled with joy.

Zhao Chen is only a young man, but he can make these villagers do this.

As a parent, this is the joy.

"Mr. Zhao, what they are holding is a plow?" Li Ruoshuang asked curiously.

Then everyone looked over and saw a villager in front of them driving their cattle to plow the land.

The plow is of course used to cultivate the land.

But this plow seems to be a little different.

In the past, plows all had straight shafts and long shafts, but from the front, it doesn’t seem like this.

"That's a Quyuan plow, a new type of plow." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"What is Quyuanli?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

He had already seen the barrel cart and thought that if this technology could be promoted, the grain harvest of the Tang Dynasty would definitely improve.

This curved shaft plow is different from the traditional plow.

Does that also bring more benefits to farmers’ cultivated land?

If it can be promoted, then...

Li Shimin was filled with joy and looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.

The rest of the people didn't say anything, but just focused their eyes on Zhao Chen, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Compared with the previous plows, there are several major improvements." Zhao Chen said.

"The first step is to change the straight and long shafts to curved and short shafts, and install a freely rotating plow disc on the shaft head."

"This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, making the operation flexible and saving manpower and livestock." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Furthermore, plowing comments and plowing construction have been added, such as pushing

When plowing, you can make the plow arrow point downward, and the plowshare will penetrate deeply into the soil. If you lift the plow so that the plow arrow points upward, the plowshare will sink shallowly into the soil. "

"For the common people, this Quyuan plow can save them a lot of time and energy." Zhao Chen explained.

Li Shimin murmured a few times before slowly spitting it out and said, "I want to give it a try."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Uncle Chen." Zhao Chen nodded and walked towards the field ahead.

Li Shimin turned back to look at Empress Changsun and said, "Mr. Guanyin, this kid is really a genius."

"If it is true as he said, the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty will definitely enter a new era. If the barrel cart and the curved shaft plow are implemented, the Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper."

Li Shimin felt excited, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke to Queen Changsun.

He is now extremely looking forward to the three thousand kilograms of rice produced per acre that Zhao Chen mentioned.

He was very doubtful about Zhao Chen's words before, but now, he believes he has gained the upper hand.

"Zhao Chen is really an all-rounder. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he can't do." Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen's back, her eyes full of joy.

"Mother, Mr. Zhao is really very capable. He is even proficient in agricultural production." Li Ruoshuang said in a low voice.

"No matter how talented he is, he is still a hateful little bastard." Hongfu Nu curled her lips, then looked at Li Ruoshuang and said, "Yesterday you went to his room to deliver a meal, why did you spend so much time?"

"Girl, you can't fall in love with that little bastard..."

Li Ruoshuang "????"

Not long after, Zhao Chen came back and said to Li Shimin, "Uncle Chen agreed to let you try it, but you have to be careful not to fall."

Li Shimin walked forward happily, not bothering to listen to Zhao Chen's words.

Walking next to Uncle Chen, Li Shimin nodded towards him and looked at the Qu Yuanli.

From the shape point of view, the lower plow wall, plow bottom, and pressing trowel have larger volume and mass, and the center of gravity is lower, which means they have strong stability. This is actual stability;

From the perspective of visual balance, the plow frame is made of wood and the plowshare below is made of iron. Since the mass fraction of iron is greater than that of wood, it gives people the feeling that the center of gravity has moved downwards, giving a strong sense of visual stability.

Li Shimin shouted, and the cattle began to move.

The plowshare easily opens up the land, and the soil is automatically swept aside.

At the turning point, with a slight lift, the curved shaft plow will turn easily. .??.

After walking back and forth for several times, Li Shimin not only did not feel tired, but became more energetic.

"Thank you." Li Shimin finally put down the Quyuanli, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Uncle Chen.

"It doesn't matter, you are our brother Zhao's friend and our honored guest." Uncle Chen smiled honestly.

Li Shimin nodded and looked back at Zhao Chen sitting on the ridge of the field, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

I thought to myself that although this kid Zhao Chen is often so angry that he vomits blood, he never expected that he would be flattered because of Zhao Chen today.

As an emperor, I have heard more than ten million flattery words, but this time, it was because of Zhao Chen.

Li Shimin was a little proud.

When walking back, Li Shimin was still happy.

Thinking that when I return to the palace, I must tell the ministers about the barrel cart and the Quyu Plow at the court meeting.

Let them open their eyes too.

He also thought about how he could get Zhao Chen to teach him how to make these things.

There are so many things on my mind that my thoughts are naturally not at my feet.

Unexpectedly, he stepped on the air and almost fell face first into the ground.

This scared Queen Changsun who was talking to Zhao Chen.

Fortunately, Li Shimin got up, wiped his face, and walked over again.

"Husband, are you okay?" Queen Changsun asked softly.

road.

"It's okay, I sprained my foot just now." Li Shimin said with a smile.

I was wondering how I could let this kid Zhao Chen see that he was so carried away just now that he almost fell to the ground.

"I'm telling you, Lao Litou, don't think of anything bad, that's why you fell down hard." Zhao Chen said jokingly.

How could Li Shimin admit it and quibble, "I was just wondering if you were deceiving me when you said that the yield per mu was three thousand kilograms."

Even if Zhao Chen guessed it, Li Shimin was still stubborn.

"Brother Zhao, just walk a hundred meters and we'll be there." The village chief stood up from the field ridge and pointed to a lush rice field in front of him.

"Madam, please go ahead and talk to Zhao Chen on the way." Li Shimin turned around and said to Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun didn't even react, and she saw Li Shimin walking directly in the direction pointed by the village chief.

The speed was so fast that he didn't even care about the mud on the field ridge.

What did your Majesty see just now?

How excited?

Queen Changsun thought to herself.

"Zhao Chen, let's continue moving forward." Queen Changsun and Zhao Chen said with a smile.

In Chang'an City, Changsun Wuji had not seen the emperor for a whole day.

He came to the palace today to talk to Li Shimin about the salt and iron transfer envoy.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's personal eunuch Wu Jian said that the emperor and the queen had left the palace.

He was not in the palace at all.

Changsun Wuji immediately thought that maybe His Majesty the Emperor was greedy and went to the Wangyou Tavern in Pingkangfang again.

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt hungry when he thought of the delicious braised pork at Wangyou Tavern.

He hurried out of the palace without even returning home, and went straight to Wangyou Tavern.

Unexpectedly, the Wangyou Tavern was closed.

The shopkeeper in the tavern is not here either.
