Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

Page 36



A large frame is supported on both sides of the plow, two ropes are pulled in the middle of the frame, and the iron plow runs through it. Two pulleys are placed in front of it. One person holds the iron plow, and two people push the pulley to roll forward.

The two pulleys replaced the function of the oxen, and it was less labor-intensive than pulling the plow with pure human power.

Especially in front of the potter's wheel, there is also a lever similar to the Mohist mechanism. The longer the arm, the less effort a person needs to use.

In this way, manpower can be brought into full play, and the current situation of arable land highly dependent on cattle can be completely resolved.

The scarcity of farming cattle has always been the main problem that plagued Ming farming.

Because of the lack of cattle, two-thirds of the land in Ming Dynasty was deserted, so no matter how diligent the farmers were in farming, after a year, they would suffer from starvation and cold.

Now even with sweet potatoes and other fetishes, the yield per mu has been greatly increased, and they may not have to starve.

But the arable land has not increased, and Daming's farming has not made a qualitative leap.

It can only be said that they don't have to go hungry, but they are far from being rich.

With this plow now, the wasteland can be exploited to the maximum extent, and Da Ming's farming will undergo a qualitative leap.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so excited that he knelt on the ground, shouting in his heart that the Bodhisattva would appear and save the people.

Zhu Di frowned when he saw the crazy appearance of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

What's the fuss about this thing?

But since he saw Lu Lin's drawings last time with the same expression, he didn't say anything to reprimand him.

"Is this substitute farming frame another rare and good thing?"

To be honest, Zhu Di didn't have much hope.

Although he doesn't know much about farming, he still has basic common sense. How good is a plow that is so bulky that it can't even be put on an ox.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry stared at him with fiery eyes, and there were tears of excitement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, God bless me, Daming."

"There are few farming cattle in my Ming Dynasty. With this device, farming will no longer require cattle. Only manpower can be used to reclaim the land."

"Take a thousand-mu farm as an example. There are 300 people in the farm. Three people can cultivate six acres a day, and 300 people can cultivate six hundred acres a day. One thousand acres of farmland can be cultivated in less than two days."

"what?"

Zhu Di suddenly jumped up.

"A thousand acres of farmland can be plowed in two days?"

"Is this true?"

Zhu Di was even more excited than the Minister of Industry.

One thousand acres, if the current cultivation speed is used, it will not be able to be cultivated in half a year.

Can farming be done in two days with a substitute tillage frame?

Almost two-thirds of Daming is wasteland because farmers do not have the ability to cultivate.

Therefore, Daming's taxes have not been raised, the treasury is empty, and the economy is relatively backward.

If this device can really improve farmers' farming ability so much, then Daming's economy will be greatly improved in a short period of time.

Really make the country rich and the people strong.

Zhu Di was excited for a while, his blood rushed to the top, and he was a little dizzy for a while.

"His Majesty."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was frightened, and hurried up to help him.

But Zhu Di waved his hands happily.

"I'm fine, I'm just so happy."

It is more difficult to succeed than Jing, and I am even happier to be the emperor.

When Lu Lin gave it to him, he also said that it could make the land plow faster.

This is called faster?

It's almost a billion points!

He didn't believe it before, thinking it was bulky, and secretly ridiculed Lu Lin for not knowing how to farm.

This time it was a slap in the face.

But Zhu Di was still happy, with such a good thing, he would be happy even if his face was swollen.

"Your Majesty, this drawing was drawn by the genius who drew the firecracker before?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry took the opportunity to inquire.

This time Zhu Di wasn't hiding anything.

"Correct."

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed a few times.

"Your Majesty, with such a great talent, I hope that His Majesty will be recruited into the Ministry of Industry and entrusted with important tasks."

"With such a talent, do you think he should take up any position in the Ministry of Industry?" Zhu Di asked him with a half-smile.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was taken aback for a moment, and then said righteously: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also true."

The highest official position in the Ministry of Industry is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

With such a talent, he is willing to give up the post of Minister and learn from him.

"You, you, you just fiddled with the machine to be silly, hurry up and make the sub-farming frame, and promote it to the whole Ming Dynasty."

Although he is a nerd, Zhu Di is still very satisfied to be able to love talent so much.

"Your Majesty." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was still a little unwilling.

"I still have to entrust this person with a heavy responsibility, and the Ministry of Industry is not suitable for him." Zhu Di's words were very clear.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately understood that it was really a waste of talent for such a great talent to stay in the Ministry of Industry to fiddle with machines.

Can only leave resentfully.
