Hanjiazhuang, farmland outside the village.

Lao Hu kept thanking the young master, but he was stupid, and he always said the same words. Li Zexuan was very embarrassed when he heard this, and Han Li interrupted him when he saw this, "Old Hu, you are here. After waiting for so long, haven't you waited for the cattle?"

Hearing this, Old Hu shook his head dejectedly, pointed at a middle-aged man who was plowing the land not far in front and said, "Lizheng, look, Lao Wang's house hasn't been used up yet. There is little rain this year, and it's hard to plow this field. This makes me sad."

"Uncle Han, can't we go to the county to borrow more cattle?"

Listening to Lao Hu's complaint, Li Zexuan was a little puzzled, so he asked.

Han Li was shaking his head in embarrassment: "Young master, you don't know, our Zhuangzi has a lot of people, and the county has already allocated more cattle than other Zhuangzi. At this time, spring ploughing is taking place in various places, and there must be no extra cattle in the county. assigned to us."

At this time, Lao Hu also sighed heavily: "Oh, Lizheng, according to the current speed of cultivation, I guess many farmers in Zhuangzi may miss the spring ploughing period. How can this be done?"

Li Zexuan was also surprised when he heard this. He was also a child in the countryside in his previous life. He knew how serious the consequences of missing the spring ploughing period would be. By then, it is estimated that many families would starve. Not to mention that if everyone missed the spring ploughing period, it would definitely affect their enthusiasm for raising chickens. This The problem must be solved.

He pondered for a while, looked at Lao Hu next to him, and asked, "Uncle Hu, how much land can a cow plough in a day now?"

Lao Hu scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Master, it is very difficult to plow the land this year. A single cow can plow up to four acres of land a day. In previous years, I could usually cultivate six or seven acres of land a day. Alas, it’s all because of the lack of rain this year.”

There are only four acres of land a day, which is too slow. Li Zexuan frowned, looked at Han Lizheng, and asked, "Uncle Han, how many cattle are there in Zhuangzi?"

"Master, this year Zhuangzi has rented 20 cattle, which is much more than other Zhuangzi."

Li Zexuan calculated silently in his heart. At this speed, wouldn't it take more than a month to complete the ploughing? This will not work. It's not that he didn't think about spending money to buy cattle in other places, but in this era, cattle have always been very nervous. He bought cattle in other places. What about the people in that place? If I were like other time-travel protagonists, I would just pass over and bring a system, and directly exchange it for a farming tractor to ensure that I can plow dozens of acres of land a day.

Alas, since there are no tractors and it is not easy to increase the number of cattle, it seems that now we have to think of other ways to improve the current efficiency of farming. This problem is easy to solve. He has countless advanced mechanical models in his mind, and he will definitely find many ploughs that are more useful than the current ones.

"Uncle Han, let me see what ploughs are used by the farmers."

Li Zexuan made an explanation and walked to the old Wang who was the old Hu Zhi. Han Lizheng and Lao Hu also quickly followed.

Li Zexuan came to the ridge next to Lao Wang, and his eyes began to focus on the plough used by Lao Wang. Pharaoh was plowing the land attentively, unaware that someone was watching him beside him.

Li Zexuan was highly short-sighted in his previous life, and I don't know if it was because of his magical powers in this life, but his eyesight was excellent, and he could see the structure of the plow clearly from a distance. He found that the structure of the plough was really strange. The shovel was straight, and the length was about nine feet long. With such a long plough, it would be difficult to turn around.

Li Zexuan quickly constructed the three-dimensional structure of the plough in front of him in his mind, and according to the knowledge of engineering mechanics he had learned before, he analyzed the force of each part of the plough, and found that the plough really needs a lot of pulling force to plow the ground. , this structure is obviously unreasonable.

Li Zexuan frowned, thinking about which better plow should be used to replace the current plow. The ploughs of various eras flashed in my mind one by one, and suddenly stopped on a plough that was not very different from the current plough.

"It's you!"

"This should be called a curved plough, and it should not have appeared yet. The structure of this curved plough should be improved from the structure of the plough in front of me. Although the changes are not too big, every change is very important. Compared with the plough used by Pharaoh in front of me, this curved plough is obviously more labor-saving, and you can easily see it by drawing a force analysis diagram."

At this time, Li Zexuan's mind not only had the three-dimensional model of the curved plough, but also its force analysis diagram. It can be clearly seen that the curved plough is more labor-saving, and it saves not a little bit. Crucially, this plow is not difficult to manufacture and is easy to manufacture in large quantities. When he goes back, he can find a craftsman to start manufacturing immediately, so as to ensure that the farmers in Hanjiazhuang will not miss the spring ploughing.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty currently uses the long straight plough passed down from the Han Dynasty. The curved plough conceived in Li Zexuan's mind only appeared in the Jiangdong area in the late Tang Dynasty, so it is also called Jiangdong plough. Compared with the long straight plough, the curved plough is indeed more flexible and labor-saving. When the soil is relatively wet, a young man with relatively strong strength can pull it.

"Uncle Han, let's plough like this first. I will find a way for you in the next two days, and I will never let the farmers miss spring ploughing." Li Zexuan had a solution in his mind, so he turned around and said to Han Lizheng.

Both Han Lizheng and Lao Hu Wenyan looked surprised. The land was the life of the farmers. If they missed the spring ploughing, the harvest would be greatly reduced, and it was not uncommon for people to starve to death. I didn't expect the young master to help them find a way, this is really a surprise.

"Thank you young master, all the farmers in our Han family village will remember the great kindness of the young master for the rest of their lives. I just don't know what method the young master plans to use?

Will Ann buy cattle again? "Han Li was bowing his thanks seriously, but he was also curious about how Li Zexuan would help them. If he bought cattle for their Zhuangzi, the price would be too high.

Li Zexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course I didn't buy the cattle. I bought the cattle. What do the farmers in other places use? Uncle Han, I will bring you a more labor-saving plough in two days. , then your plowing speed will be at least twice as fast!"

Both Han Lizheng and Lao Hu were taken aback when he heard that, is there such a plow in the world?

Old Hu exaggeratedly widened his bull's eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, "Young... young master, you... are you telling the truth? How can there be such a magic plow in this world?"

Li Zexuan nodded with certainty and said, "Uncle Hu, don't worry, seeing is believing, we will see the outcome in two days!"
