Aristocrats and merchants are the same. Doing everything will calculate the cost first, thinking that you will make the most profit and get more wealth.

After owning a large amount of land, if they use machinery and a small number of slaves to cultivate these lands, they can make greater profits, they will definitely eliminate the previous tenant farming system and drive out the majority of tenant farmers under their subordinates, in order to get rid of the cost burden.

In this way, these dismissed tenant farmers can only join the ranks of craftsmen, so as to find a way for themselves.

This is the result that Li An is willing to see, and it is what the nobles must do. This is the progress of the times, and no force can be reversed.

After inquiring about the price, many noblemen’s servants hurriedly left the horse, and apparently went back to the newspaper to allow their master to make a purchase decision as soon as possible.

“Who owns these ten or eight acres of land?”

Li An asked loudly.

“Back to Minister Li, it’s Yongye Tian.”

A honest and timid farmer hurried over and kowtowed on his knees.

“Get up, get up.”

Li An is not used to let the old 100 surname kneel in front of him, paused, ordered: “All these wheat grains are transported to the 100 surname’s home, lead the way!”

For the whole 3 carriage of wheat grains, the initial estimate is about 4,000 jin, and they are all processed. So they were sent to the home of the old 100 surnames. This surprised many onlookers. They thought that at least they had to collect Some handling fees and so on, after all, Research & Development and manufacturing such a harvester must have spent a lot of money. At the same time, they also lamented the power of the harvester. The three harvesters took only one hour to harvest. Ten or eight acres of wheat, and the wheat kernels are also removed.

“You, the cultivation of wheat is the seed that Imperial Court allocated from the state treasury, but Imperial Court has made a commitment that the output of wheat is completely owned by the 100 surnames. The harvested grains will naturally be handed over to the 100 surnames. In addition, you I also saw that it is possible to grow wheat in the Guanzhong area in winter, so that you can plant 2 seasons of crops a year, so you do n’t have to worry about grain shortage anymore. In the future, all fields in Guanzhong will be planted with grain in winter. “

Li An loudly shouted, in fact, not only can Guanzhong grow wheat in winter, even in the cold northeast region, it can also grow wheat in winter, and the northeast plains of later generations are still the main winter wheat producing areas.

Of course, Li An does not need to encourage the cultivation of wheat. After seeing the harvest of wheat planted during the autumn harvest last year, the 100 old people in Guanzhong will definitely be actively planting, and this matter will definitely be rapid. Spread it out, so that more northern regions choose to plant wheat in winter to further improve land utilization.

After an explanation, Li An returned to the Research & Development Center and asked Research & Development personnel to operate three harvesters and continue to harvest wheat in the field until all 3 acres of wheat were harvested, and the harvested wheat grains were all sent to Field Owner’s home, and do not charge a penny handling fee.

After the harvester showed its talents, it caused a huge sensation around Luoyang City. Many large nobles with large land all made a decision to purchase, and immediately sent a housekeeper to order with a deposit in case of late. One step, was ordered by others.

Of course, at this time, spring tillage still has a few days to start, and there are still half a year before the autumn harvest. According to the efficiency of the current steam machine, it is certain that a considerable number of harvesters, cultivators and pumps can be built before the autumn harvest. Will not stop.

The order once again flew like a snow flake, which made Li An overjoyed and made the entire Research & Development center boil. Only if there is work, the treatment and remuneration of these artisans will increase, and many artisans get remuneration They are many times more than before, and life is more nourishing.

Processing and manufacturing all kinds of machinery are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Li An invests more time in the inspection. When it is okay, he takes a few guards to inspect the suburbs of Luoyang to see the water conservancy. What about the facilities? Are the large number of pumps already installed in place?

“Minister Li, there is a cultivator in front of it, it seems to be digging a trench.”

An escort Zema returned, reporting loudly.

“Go, look at the past.”

Li An feels a little curious. He invented the cultivator to cultivate the land, how was it used to dig trenches.

When Ze Ma ran to his eyes, Li An saw a deep ditch that was 5 miles long. The width of the ditch was the same as that of the cultivator, and the depth had reached 3 feet.

Near the gully, there are several hundred tenant farmers holding a shovel, getting the soft soil in the ditch out of the ditch.

“Oh! It turns out that the cultivator can also be used to dig trenches! These people are quite smart. They actually understand the potential of digging machines and let the cultivator take into account the function of trenching.”

Li An just glanced at it and understood everything. It turned out that these people used the cultivator to plan the land where the trench was to be dug, and used human power to plow the broken soil to the 2 sides. Then, they continued to use the cultivator to plan Crush the hard soil below, and then use the manpower to pluck the broken soil to the 2 sides. This reciprocating cycle, a deep gully, can be dug out quickly, and adopting this method is much less labor-intensive and quicker than direct excavation. a lot of.

Imagine that human digging hard soil with a shovel will eat up very much, and the speed will be slowed down, and the soil will be pulled directly, eliminating the process of digging hard, naturally saving physical strength and time, so that the ravine can be dug out faster .

“Who came up with this solution?”

Li An asked loudly.

“Minister Li, the villain came up with the idea. Since buying the pump, Master felt that this deserted highland could also be reclaimed into farmland. For irrigation convenience, Master let the villain in this location to reclaim a piece of water Ditch, and within 5 days, the villain was anxious and thought of this method. “

The steward who directed the people to work, answered with a smile.

“Yes, you are quite wise. You are a personal talent. Machines are always dead, but people are alive and able to realize the potential of machines. It is worth advocating.”

Li An never hesitated to praise himself, claiming praise.

“Minister Li, the villain has a suggestion, I don’t know if I should speak.”

The housekeeper was exaggerated, and his courage grew.

“You don’t have to be polite. If you have anything to say, speak up.”

Li An asked.

“Minister Li, since the cultivator can move forward step by step, why not make a machine for transporting goods? Although the transportation of the train is very difficult to deal with, but can only take a fixed route, the carriage is flexible, but Not strong enough. “

Li An hearing this, nodded and said: “Your proposal is very good. The machine that transports goods is much simpler to study than the arable land machine. However, it is far less cost-effective than the arable land machine and the harvester. At present, the researchers are nervous and can only It ’s important to pick up first, but you ’ll be relieved of the fact that the shipping machine will appear sooner or later. “

Li An has long considered the idea of ​​a steam truck, but at this time, the development of the carriage is very mature, and the transportation of goods by the carriage is relatively cheap, plus the road is not too good, and the practicality of the freight machine is not too good. The main problem is that the cost is expensive, but the traffic is not at all so exaggerated, and the availability is slightly lower.

The steam bus, Li An has long thought about it, which is even more inappropriate, because there is no rubber and tire processing technology, the resulting steam car will be more bumpy than the ordinary carriage, sitting inside will be very uncomfortable Comfort, of course, does not have the value of development.

When digging to a depth of 5 feet, the gully was completed, and the pump on one side began to work, pumping a large amount of clean water from the lower part into the upper part, and gradually filling the newly excavated gully.

Looking at the 1000 acres of wasteland in front of him turned into arable fields, Li An was very happy. These are his achievements, indicating that his scientific research results have begun to slowly change the development of the Great Tang Empire.

The time for spring cultivation is coming soon. All areas of the Great Tang Empire are busy with spring cultivation, the old 100 people are busy working in the fields, and the Imperial Court is busy organizing and coordinating so that the spring cultivation can be carried out in an orderly manner without interference. .

Different from the previous spring tillage, this time spring tillage has adopted a certain degree of mechanization. In the whole Guanzhong area, 3000 cultivators have been put into the arable land operation. Of course, most of the noble fields are using this cultivator. Still use cattle farming.

The efficiency of the cultivator is dozens of times that of the cattle, and the efficiency of the arable land has increased greatly. For this reason, many large households have reclaimed their fields from the tenants to save labor costs.

These farmers who have lost their tenant qualifications have also lost their survival. They have to go to the capital to seek a living, and joining the ranks of artisans is undoubtedly the best destination.

Many farmers only grow land and do n’t know much about craftsmen, but workers in later generations do n’t know everything as soon as they enter the factory. Learn slowly.

Skilled craftsmen have a higher salary, and unskilled farmers have a lower salary, but there is no problem in supporting themselves and the family.

At the time of spring cultivation, there were at least 10000 tenant farmers transformed into craftsmen, which greatly increased the manpower of the Research & Development Center, and provided the Research & Development Center with 60000 human resources, which greatly facilitated the process of Research & Development products and manufacturing machinery.

After the number of people increased, the 5000 acres of land in the Research & Development Center became a little crowded. Upon learning of this, the Imperial Court immediately expanded the Research & Development Center and expanded it by 4 times, with an area of ​​more than 20000 acres.

With more land and manpower, Li An’s Research & Development and manufacturing progress have become more and more smooth, and more products have been manufactured like mushrooms.

Many of the 100 surnames see being craftsmen, and they can earn more income than planting 30-50 acres of land. So, on the advice of the great nobility, they sold the land, leaving only 3 5 acres of vegetable land. The women and children in the family worked hard.

In this way, the number of artisans expanded further slowly, and human resources became larger.

The railway line leading to Yu Sect Guanhe and Zhongshou Jiangcheng has already been determined. After spring cultivation, Li Longji personally decided to levy all the idle labor in Guanzhong and began to lay the rails in 2 roads.

Of course, the 100 surnames along the railway are also levied together, and are responsible for building the roadbed of the railway along the way, so that these two strategic railways can be completed faster.

At this time, the labor force levied by Imperial Court exceeds 1000000, which is much larger than any previous levy. The loss of civilian power is bound to be great, but these two railways have extremely important strategic value. Even if they lose national power, It is also necessary to complete it as soon as possible, especially the railway to Yu Sect Pass is very important, which is related to the long-term stability of the Great Tang Empire. Moreover, after such a long period of development, the Great Tang Empire has such strength and engages in such a large project.

In addition to the huge manpower, a lot of machinery and explosives were put into the work of laying railways at this time.

When encountering a small hillhead that needs to be flattened, it is directly crushed with gunpowder to save manpower. In addition, bulldozers and freight steam cars are also easily developed and immediately mass-produced, and then put into use.

Since 1000000 labor does not have very high technology, for this reason, in addition to the majority of technical personnel invested by the Railway Bureau, the Research & Development Center has also transferred more than 10000 technical personnel to join the work of laying rails.

The roadbed work was started on the whole line together to save time to the greatest extent. The laying of sleepers and rails started from Chang’an City and several important places on the way, especially some road sections are flat, not at all. If you need to deal with the roadbed, you can lay it directly. Only the areas with complex terrain need to deal with the roadbed. It is also the most labor-intensive place in the entire laying process.

Due to the relevant talents of the railway bureau, they already have extensive experience in laying the railway to Luoyang City. For this reason, the laying of the two railways was completely left to them. Li An did not leave Beijing and Your Majesty did not go in person. Know the laying work.

Of course, if there are difficult problems to be solved during the laying process, the talents of the railway bureau can return to Beijing to consult Li An.

Li An stayed in Beijing, mainly because there were too many things that needed Research & Development. He wanted to fight for time. In the shortest time, Research & Development had the most products and sold them overseas, making Great Tang more and more prosperous.

At first, Li Longji will be excited for a long time every Research & Development succeeds, but with the type of machinery succeeded by Research & Development, there is a blowout situation, Li Longji gradually loses excitement The feeling, unless there is a special surprise machine, otherwise, he can not find excitement.

The laying of the two railways will take up to one year to complete. During this time, Li An does not care about the laying of the railways. Anyway, the technology in this regard has been handed over to the talents of the railway bureau to let these talents take full power. Responsible is enough. You are only responsible for solving difficult problems.

While Research & Development has more machinery, Li An starts to spend more time with Yan Ruyu. After all, at the moment, Yan Ruyu’s belly is getting bigger and bigger, the time from birth is getting closer and closer, and he is needed. More caring.
