no. 222 Immortal Master, something big has happened.
Not to mention the dirty things in a cemetery in Taiyuan, Li Chunfeng looked around anxiously for Huang Junming in the Tianxian Palace.
"This year is considered late spring. Next year will be another year of disaster, so I hope you can try your best to research the plow that Pindao mentioned." A few days ago, Huang Junming thought about it and finally decided to improve farm tools. After all, Zhenguan II This year is a year of locust plague, and this first year of Zhenguan happens to be a leap month. The earth has just been civilized, and there is still more than half a month before the day of sowing. In order to prevent fewer people from starving to death when the locust plague comes next year, Huang Junming finally ignored Will Li Shimin doubt himself? Having made this decision,
But Huang Junming is a Taoist, and he is not an agricultural student or a history student. He only knows the name of Quyuanli, which shines brightly in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He generally knows that the straight and long shafts were first changed to Quyuanli. , short shaft, and a freely rotating plow disc installed on the shaft head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, flexible operation, and saves manpower and animal power. But this is also something found in high school history textbooks. Huang Junming was asked to explain how many parts a Quyuan plow has, what kind of graphics it looks like, and how to operate it. Huang Junming didn't know.
Fortunately, the Taoists of Tianxian Palace are proficient in various crafts, and most of these Taoist "craftsmen" gather in the Academy of Sciences of Tianxian Palace. Huang Junming just caught Taoist Zhuang Jing and asked, and there are really a few of them who are right. Agricultural tools are relatively well researched. There are also Taoists who are proficient in mechanisms. Huang Junming gathered these people together very simply and explained the cause of the matter. I made it clear to them and told them not to spread the word.
Fortunately, these Taoist priests are all knowledgeable people, and there is no need for Huang Junming to say more. They all pondered the ideas mentioned by Huang Junming one by one.
"Immortal chief, do you think this Quyuanli has been around for a long time?" Just as Huang Junming was waiting for the Taoists to come up with an idea, a Taoist in green frowned and said softly.
"Yes?" Huang Junming stared at the man in disbelief. In his memory, Quyuanli probably only began to appear in the late Tang Dynasty. How come it has become a thing in the eyes of the Taoist in front of him?
"I'm not sure about the trail. You have to know that the plows we use now have basically been shaped in the Han Dynasty. However, the plows in the Han Dynasty were long straight shaft plows. They were not flexible enough to turn back and turn when plowing, and it took a lot of effort to lift the soil. The efficiency was not very high; but Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Qi Min Yao Shu" mentioned the long curved shaft plow and the "Wei plow", which are similar to what the immortal said. The plow body can swing during operation, which is highly maneuverable, easy for deep plowing, and is light and flexible. It is conducive to maneuvering, but other than that, the description is incomplete. However, according to "Qi Min Yao Shu", this kind of plow is more common in paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River." The Qingyi Taoist obviously has a lot of research on this agriculture. Qimin Yaoshu, a complete book on agriculture, can be picked up at hand and explained in a few words.
"Oh? So you can find the real thing?" Huang Junming was obviously very surprised. More than seventy years have passed since the Northern Wei Dynasty. If there is such a thing, then why are farmers around Chang'an still using it? Is it a straight plow?
"It should be possible. The Northern Wei Dynasty has only passed less than a hundred years ago. This plow is a necessary item for farmers, and it should be kept precious by farmers. Perhaps it is because the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are so different from the dry fields in Guanzhong, and there is no It can be spread. Either it is war, you must know that wars were very frequent during the Northern Wei Dynasty. But even if most of them were destroyed by war, the old people must know." Taoist Qingyi said with certainty.
"Well, I know about it. I'll go find my apprentice Yuan Heng later. Let him contact His Majesty to go to Jiangnan to search. You guys should also study it. I'm afraid it will be necessary to go back and forth to Jiangnan. It will take more than half a month, if it is not consistent with the records, then it will be a big mistake." Huang Junming ordered the Qingyi Taoist. Then he ran out in a hurry.
The place where Huang Junming is now is not within Tianxian Palace, but in a small valley behind Tianxian Palace Mountain. The valley is surrounded by officers and soldiers, which is very tight. Most of the gunpowder used throughout the Tang Dynasty came from here. When Tianxian Palace was renovated, Huang Junming asked Zhou Pengfei to find a secret place to build several houses. After all, there are still some secrets in this Tianxian Palace that cannot be discovered by believers. Later, after the secrets were donated to Li Shimin, the valley was planned for gunpowder production. And Huang Junming brought these Taoists here to keep it a secret. The locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan should not be talked about randomly. Once it is revealed, it will probably cause panic again. You know, these ancient people were not afraid of war, but what they were most afraid of were plagues and locust plagues. Spread the word that there will be a locust plague next year, what will be the consequences? . .
You know, this valley is now owned by the government. No matter how rest assured, Li Shimin will always pay attention to it. Huang Junming brought these Taoists here to give Li Shimin a disguised message. I brought people here to study farm tools for The most important thing is to make plans for next year¡¯s locust plague. And?The emperor should also think about saving the world next year.
"Master Immortal, where did you go just now! The trail has been looking for you for a long time!" Huang Junming heard someone beside him complain anxiously before he found Li Yuanheng in Tianxian Palace. Isn't this Li Chunfeng who has been looking for Huang Junming for a long time? Who is this?
"Chunfeng, are you looking for a poor man?" Huang Junming stopped when he heard the sound and asked Li Chunfeng doubtfully.
"Master Immortal! You can make the trail easier to find! Something big is going to happen!" Li Chunfeng was obviously very anxious. He quickly grabbed Huang Junming's lapel and didn't know where to drag Huang Junming.
"Wait a minute, what's going on? Tell me clearly!" Huang Junming flicked his sleeve and knocked off Li Chunfeng's hand. "How frizzy and unbecoming!"
"Ah! Immortal Master! It's a big deal anyway! Just come with me!" Li Chunfeng seemed to be confused. Seeing Huang Junming asking, he couldn't say it out in such a large public place. He was suddenly walking around in a hurry. , and from time to time he would hit the ground with his feet.
Huang Junming was confused by Li Chunfeng's impatient look, but looking at Li Chunfeng's behavior, it shouldn't be a trivial matter, so he had to signal Li Chunfeng to find a deserted corner to explain to him.
"Chunfeng, can you tell me what happened now?" Li Chunfeng took Huang Junming to the foot of the wall. Seeing that no one was around, Huang Junming asked first.
"Master! There will be a solar eclipse next month!"
Starting from the dividing line, not counting the number of words:
The first year of Zhenguan: Leap month (leap month), Guichou Shuo, there will be an eclipse on the sun. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
