I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

All eyes were on the plow body. At this time, the plow body had turned halfway, and they happened to see the remaining half of the plow body turning.

After the plow body is turned, the direction of the entire Northland plow is completely opposite to before, and at the same time the ox is led to this side.

After plowing the remaining part of the land smoothly, everyone found that the drawbars on the cattle had been taken off, and His Royal Highness the King of the North and the Prime Minister seemed to want to leave.

Someone said strangely: "The seeds haven't been planted yet, why is Your Highness leaving?"

Liu Tan's ears were sharp, and when he heard this sentence, he pointed to the plow in the north and smiled: "When I was plowing the field just now, the seeds had already been sown. Didn't you see that there was a square bucket on it? The grain seeds were put in it. "

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all stretched their necks to see if there were really seeds in the furrows. However, for the safety of the King of the North and other important officials, these people were kept far away.

No matter how good their eyes were, it was impossible to see the situation in the furrow clearly. On the contrary, the officials who followed them all ran to the field at this moment and bent over to observe carefully.

Lin Xiu had known about the existence of the Northern Plow before, but he didn't know what the Northern Plow looked like or how it worked.

At this time, after squatting on the ground and observing for a long time, he raised his head and said in surprise: "The sowing has really been completed. Your Highness is planting yellow rice."

In an instant, the voices from the common people were much louder than when Beijingli just appeared on the stage and even the mechanism that manipulated Beijingli.

For them, such a big plow is not needed, and the mechanism is just to see. Basically, everyone regards this time as a new plow performance.

Good-looking is good-looking, novelty is novelty, but they can only watch.

But if they can plow and sow seeds at the same time, it will have a great impact on them. How much effort will be saved!

Many of them used to work in the workshops and mines of His Royal Highness the King of the North, earning a lot of money every month, but now because of the spring plowing, many of them had to quit their jobs and return to farming.

It is easy to resign, but it is difficult to go back in the future, so many people are trying to find a way to balance it before farming.

If they can use this new plow, maybe they just need to ask for leave instead of quitting their jobs!

At this time, Huo Guang went to the North Border Plow to observe carefully, and then went to the field to look around. He didn't realize that the North Border Plow had even finished sowing the seeds when he was plowing the field just now.

It has to be said that Beijingli did bring him a big surprise.

At this time, Liu Tan could hear everyone talking about Xinli, so he couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, it's the easiest place to do publicity. After today, many people will know about Xinli's existence, and some people will be interested. Next, how to promote will be negotiated to come up with a charter.

Looking at his expression, Huo Guang knew that Liu Tan had just deliberately let everyone see the mechanism and various other arrangements on the plow body.

In fact, the trial plowing is not just about plowing the land, there is also the second half of the people's sacrifice, but this is what Lin Xiu will preside over. The performance of Liu Tan and Huo Guang has ended, and the two of them retreated happily .

Huo Guang rode on the side of Liu Tan's carriage, enduring his own doubts all the way, and asked when he got back to the palace, "Your Highness, why is there a mechanism on the Northern Border Plow?"

Liu Tan: Have you already agreed that the name of the new plow is Beijing plow?But it doesn't matter, if he insists on changing the name of the plow, he will have to explain it to these people, and it seems that the word plow hasn't appeared in this year?

He put aside the matter of the name and explained the meaning of Gongshucan. Huo Guang was silent for a moment and said: "If you are really poor enough to use stone, then it would be easier and more convenient for them to carry it without a mechanism. Save money?"

Liu Tan was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.

It seems... that's really the case.

The really poor must be as cheap as possible. Even if the cost is low, you will have to pay extra if you add institutions. How can you save money by not coming?

If you don't want it, at most you can move it by yourself, but it just consumes a little effort, so what is it to the farmer?

People who are engaged in scientific research are prone to complicate simple problems. If Huo Guang hadn't said it, his thinking would probably have been misled by Gong Shuchan.

Liu Tan smiled and said, "You're right, but someone will buy this thing."

Huo Guang looked at him and said, "Most of those who have the money to buy this kind of land don't need to plow the land themselves."

"But it's different if you have it or not. It's rumored that it's the same price for plowing land in the King's Manor in the Northern Realm. Do you think anyone bought it?"

Huo Guang closed his eyes: "Your Highness, please save some face for Your Majesty."

He has never seen such a mad prince and king just to make money!

He can even use himself as a gimmick!

Liu Tan coughed lightly, thinking that what Huo Guang wanted to say was probably to save some face for your old Liu family.

"Don't mention this, what do you think... how about the northern border plow?"

Huo Guang looked serious: "It's worth promoting, but the plow in the northern border is too big and requires cattle. I'm afraid not many people can use it."

Liu Tan immediately said: "Don't worry, the plow body can be flexibly added or subtracted, that is to say, if the poor can't afford so many plow bodies, they can buy one plow, and I plan to focus on one to four plows. For this kind of body, cattle are needed to pull it further up, and human power can also be used to pull it four ways.”

Huo Guang was startled: "Your Highness, are you serious?"

"What did I lie to you for?" Liu Tan said with a smug smile, "Since when did I not pay attention to practicality in making things? What's the use of just making an ornamental object?"

Huo Guang smiled slightly: "The things His Highness makes are good after all."

Liu Tan said: "I looked at the current statistics before, and felt that even if the Northland plow is sold, there are only a limited number of people who can afford it, so I once mentioned to Lin Xiu to start a leasing business, and not only the plow, but also other Farm implements, and cattle."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment: "Rent a cow? This...I'm afraid it won't work."

Liu Tan was a little curious: "Why?"

Huo Guang said: "The cow is different from other things. It is a living thing. A living thing has birth, old age, sickness and death. What if the cow gets sick and dies during the lease? You can't afford it if you ask the person who rented the cow to pay. He pays, I'm afraid after calculating the loss..."

Liu Tan said: "Two methods can be set up. One is that the petty officials from the cattle farm will accompany the cattle. The petty officials will handle the cattle throughout the whole process. Of course, this will cost extra money. The second is to only rent the cattle. The problem is, for example, if you are injured and die, you need to pay compensation according to the price. If you can’t afford it, you will be in debt. However, this needs to be carefully considered. Live animal leasing is indeed difficult. Let our people do it for them directly, of course the price will never be low."

Huo Guang's head hurts from hearing this: "His Royal Highness, let's put these first. Apart from these difficulties, there is another biggest problem...we don't have that many cattle."

Liu Tan smiled slightly: "When Lu Xuan left two days ago, I asked him to bring a letter to Danyang for me."

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback: "Princess Danyang?"

Liu Tan knocked on the desk and said: "I told her at the beginning that we should raise as many cattle and sheep as possible. After so long, I think it is enough."
