Li An plans to produce 3 arable land machines within three months. Naturally, this is to alleviate the pressure of spring plowing in the coming year, reduce the dependence of 1000 people on the arable land on the cattle, and improve the efficiency of the arable land.

However, to completely replace farming cattle is not realistic in the short term. After all, even if a farming machine farms ten hours a day, it can only farm 200 acres, and 1000 vehicles work at the same time, it can only solve 200,000 acres of farmland.

The Great Tang has 6 100000000 million acres of fields. These arable machines are working day and night, requiring 3000 days and nights of labor, which is more than 8 years. The little devils have run away.

However, the efficiency of arable land machinery is dozens of times that of arable cattle. At present, due to resource constraints, it is naturally impossible to replace arable cattle. However, with the passage of time, the pressure that can be alleviated will increase and eventually replace arable cattle. Become the main force of cultivated land.

Under the premise of large-scale improvement of efficiency, many large nobles with 10000 mu or even 100000 mu of land can hire very little manpower to cultivate the fields. In this way, there are bound to be many tenant farmers Dismissal, resulting in a large surplus of labor.

However, the output of food will not change. The material of Great Tang will not be reduced in any way. It is just that some tenant farmers cannot survive. These tenant farmers who cannot make a living, in order to make themselves alive, will inevitably flow into the city and join the Among the workers who produce machinery, the Great Tang Imperial Court has enough manpower to carry out larger-scale industrial production.

To make an empire strong, we must first liberate the agricultural population. With the power of science and technology, let a small number of people engage in agriculture to feed all people. In this way, the remaining people can join the industry and handicraft industry. Will have more and more wealth and become more and more powerful.

After talking about the cultivator assembly line and the popularization of the cultivator, Heaven and Earth turning upside down that might happen in the Great Tang, Li Longji was very excited and ordered Li An to start making cultivators immediately and speed up the pumping and harvesting. Research & Development progress.

In order to see the pumps and harvesters as early as possible, Li Longji transferred a large number of craftsmen from Luoyang City to join them in the production of cultivators, and let the research and development craftsmen freed up to continue Research & Development new machinery.

The production line of cultivators requires a lot of artisans. However, because Li An stipulates several common parts specifications, the core transmission components of cultivators are the same as those used in steam locomotives and steam ships. They are all mass-produced things. Only a few components are unique to the cultivator, and a separate production line needs to be developed.

Under the premise that there is still vacant land, the position of the arable land machine assembly line is placed in the Research & Development Center to facilitate management. If problems are encountered, it is better to immediately solve them.

“Minister Li, there are a lot of people outside who say they have plans to buy arable land machines. Let’s first ask the market.”

Li An’s steam engine production line has just started to work, and many noble housekeepers came to see the fun.

These people are all excellent. They all ran to the 20 acres of land tested by the cultivator machine and looked at the witnesses at that time. For this reason, they all knew the details of the cultivator machine and knew that the cultivator machine was reliable and The efficiency is dozens of times that of cattle, after reporting to the master, they let their master have the idea of ​​buying, and they came to ask the price.

Since the invention and production of the arable land machine is for spring farming services, and these nobles have a large number of acres of land, they are very suitable for the use of advanced machinery for efficient arable land operations, and the nobles are relatively rich and can buy These farmland machines.

Therefore, Li An’s original goal of popularizing arable land machinery was that these large nobles with more than 10000 acres of good land let them taste the sweetness first, and then popularize it step by step.

Small aristocrats with 1000 acres of land may be reluctant to spend money on arable land machines, but they can be leased from the large aristocracy, either in days or in acres.

At this moment, these nobles sent their stewards over to understand the market, and naturally Li An’s bosom, so that Li An does not have to worry about the sales of arable machines. Of course, the research and development and production of arable machines use the money of the State Treasury It was sold by the treasury to earn money. Li An could not get the slightest, but he was happy to see the treasury filling.

“Submit the order and let them line up to visit.”

Li An gave the order softly.

“Minister Li, Research & Development Center has a lot of secrets, can it be entered by casual people, etc.”

Subordinates persuaded.

“These housekeepers are all good people, but they are not proficient in machinery. They can’t steal anything. This Official license, just let them in.”

Li An said undoubtedly.

It is very common for future customers to inspect the factory in future generations. It can not only reflect their sincerity, but also allow customers to better understand the performance of the product. Through this behavior, customers can see the company’s strength.

Of course, the arable land processing workshop established by Li An is supported by the Great Tang Imperial Court. The company’s strength is the entire Great Tang Empire, and its natural strength is unquestionable.

“The villain meets Minister Li.”

The stewards of a large group of noble families all went to Li An saluted.

“Haha! You’re welcome, This Official heard that you mean to buy a cultivator, right?”

Li An asked with a smile.

“This … the little people just came to understand the market.”

“Right, right, first ask the price, whether you can buy it or not, I can’t wait for the villain!”

“Minister Li, I have all seen the power of the cultivator, just don’t know the price?”

The housekeeper answered.

Now that they know the details of the cultivator, they can naturally guess that the price of the cultivator will not be cheap. After all, such a big Tie Family can only be worth a lot of money just by iron. Of course, the actual price will be far higher. Because of the price of iron, they have no ability to predict how high the price will be.

“Haha! You don’t have to worry about the price, this official will sell at cost price, now the price is still under calculation, you go to see the production line first! Since you come in, you can’t be in vain!”

Li An said politely.

Of course, Li An will definitely not be sold at a cost price, these large households are rich, at least they should be sold at 2 3 times the cost price, in addition, the machine is not bad, especially those parts that are easy to wear It is easier to damage, and in the future, it will also make a lot of money in repairing parts.

These housekeepers have never entered the Research & Development Center. I heard that they can be visited on the arable land machine line. Naturally, they will not refuse to visit them all the way.

After visiting the artisans to make various complex parts, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and felt that such a complicated process, so labor-intensive, but can only produce an unremarkable part, so the price of the entire cultivator is certain very expensive.

Of course, the arable land machine is still dominated by manpower, and the price is certainly not cheap, but his efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of the cattle. Even if the price is higher, the price of dozens of cattle is not cheap, and it needs more More manpower to manipulate requires more manpower costs.

These nobles have an account in their hearts. As long as the price of arable land machinery is ultimately cheaper than the use of oxen, they will definitely choose to buy it. Of course, the reliability must also be within their acceptance range. If they are always broken, they There will also be no purchase ideas.

After these housekeepers visited, Li An gave a price, which was only twice the cost price, which was very polite, at least Li An thought it was not very expensive.

The housekeepers were hearing this, and some of them were very happy, and some of them showed distressed expressions, but the cultivation of farmland machinery is so complicated, it requires so much manpower and material resources, and the higher price is normal, they can understand it.

However, they are still a little bit reassured about the reliability of the arable land machinery. After all, if they have been broken, they will lose a lot after they buy it.

Seeing some of these housekeepers, some people still have doubts, Li An opened the mouth and said: “You do n’t have to worry, the cultivator produced at this time can be sold or rented out. The number of acres is money, and the rent is 80% of the price of one acre of land, which is very cost-effective! “

After Li An mentioned the leasing plan, the housekeepers all discussed it. They thought that this method was very good, at least in terms of risk, it was more insured than direct purchase, and because the rate of increase of farming cattle could not keep up with the speed of land acquisition, Some large households have to specially hire people to help cultivate the land and pay according to the number of acres when they come to spring farming. This phenomenon has continued for many years, and even some people who are interested have bought a lot of cattle. This is done specifically during spring farming. Business has become a method of making a living.

Now, the price given by Li An for arable land is only 80% of the market price of arable land. These housekeepers are naturally very happy, and after seeing the effect of arable land, they feel that the effect is better than that of arable land. Much better, renting a cultivator is more cost-effective.

Some indicated that the purchase was cost-effective, while others felt that renting was more insured, and the opinions of the housekeepers were not consistent. Of course, as stewards, they had no power to decide to buy at all. I told them the price, and when they went back, they were better off.

After sending away these customers, Li An issued an order for the samples of the cultivator that had been built to go to the farmland every day, so that more and more people can see the true ability of the steam engine with their own eyes, so as to make the correct Judgment.

These cultivated farmland are all the land of the old 100 people. They are very happy about this. After all, after cultivating the land, the harmful insects and insect eggs hidden in the soil will be turned to the surface and thus be The upcoming severe cold will be completely frozen to death, especially a large number of insect eggs, which will surely be frozen to death, thereby reducing the insect pests in the coming year.

The talents of the Research & Development Center, according to the orders of Li An, will rest one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon after cultivating 20 acres of land, and 40 acres of arable land a day. This is true for everyday all.

And there are more and more people running over to see the bustling. Not only the old 100 surnames in the neighborhood often come over, but the nobles in the capital will also ride to see the bustling. The slaves and housekeepers of the giants, let alone Every time the onlookers reach the level of the 3rd and 3rd floors, the scene is particularly lively.

In order to test the effect of cultivated land, many people will go to the ground personally, grab the cultivated soil by hand, and check the effect of cultivated land in the field. Because there are so many people, the people who have just cultivated the land for a few days are curious Flattened.

Of course, there are some people who often come to see the cultivated land and have learned to operate the cultivated land machine. With the encouragement of the Research & Development staff, many bold and loud people who like the limelight have also experienced one by one and told others It is very simple to operate the cultivator, just control the direction.

In this way, the reputation of the cultivator is even greater, and some large nobles want to get the cultivator’s mood, naturally become stronger.

After a half-month trial, the test cultivator didn’t have a failure. Such a strong reliability surprised many nobles, and decided to buy, even to buy many.

The orders flew into the Research & Development Center like snow flakes. In a few days, 1000 pre-sold cultivators were sold out by the wealthy lords, making Li An’s plan to rent out completely bankrupt. Many nobles who started late Can only wait for the next batch of pre-sales, and with the current production capacity of the Research & Development Center, the next batch of products came out after spring cultivation.

These nobles who have successfully ordered arable land machines are naturally very happy. Some of them have ordered up to ten, and they can cultivate up to 20000 acres a day. Within a few days, they can cultivate the land they own, and the rest of the time , They can help those who need arable land and collect commissions according to the number of acres, and they are not as kind as Li An, calculated at 80% of the price of cattle, under the premise that the effect of arable land is better than that of cattle, It’s not bad if they don’t increase the price, how can they hit 20% off.

Since it is an order, of course, it is necessary to prepay a part of the deposit. Therefore, the treasury’s money has once again increased a lot, which has allowed Li An to continue to research and develop advanced machinery without worrying about it. Research and Development of pumping machinery has also entered an accelerated stage.

One month after the success of the research and development of farmland machinery, the pumping machinery was successful and was first applied to the 500 acre vegetable greenhouse where Li An was located, thereby eliminating the two large waterwheels that originally stood here.

Li An has measured the efficiency of a pump by more than 500 times that of a large waterwheel by irrigating his 100 acre greenhouse, and the pumping efficiency crushes the large waterwheel.

The structure of the water pump is also relatively complicated, and the size is not small. In order to save costs and reduce the difficulty of Research & Development, the pumping and drainage pipes are made of thick bamboo with a middle diameter of 3 inches or even up to 4 5 inches.
