    Taking advantage of the opportunity of his family to feed Lu Yuanpeng, Lu Wenqing asked: "Peng'er, I heard from Shi'er that you have surrounded the land with thousands of people, but is this a problem?" Lu Yuanpeng nodded while eating his meal: "It is indeed the case.  Something happened." A trace of worry flashed in Lu Wen's eyes.  "Peng'er, reclaiming thousands of hectares of wasteland is absolutely impossible without thousands of people and a few months. This requires oxen and plows to keep up." Lu Wen sighed secretly, and then said: "Although there are many tenants needed,  In fact, it is not difficult. It takes some time to go to Pengcheng, Xiang County, or even Xue County and Qi County to find some refugees. The key is to farm cattle. " "Although there will be a break in farming soon, we can find thousands.  A large number of cattle cannot be harvested in this fertile land. " At this time, all countries have strict restrictions on the slaughter of cattle, but the illegal slaughter of cattle is still prohibited. In addition, the war has just ended, and the loss of cattle is even more serious.  Except for the Guanzhong area where Qin is located, which is better, in the Six Kingdoms, for ordinary large families, it is considered good to have a few cattle.  Most farming still relies on manpower. If you want to find thousands of cattle in a small land, not to mention the price will be frighteningly high, you simply won't find so many.  Moreover, those who own cattle are wealthy families with land, and they will not sell their cattle.  Lu Yuanpeng knew that what Lu Wen valued most was the land. Although the wasteland he reclaimed was not considered property of the Lu family, according to the agreement between him and Xu Kan, there would still be a lot of food left every year. Lu Wen had already calculated that.  understand.  What Lu Wen is worried about now is that he may not be able to cultivate these lands for a while.  Moreover, it costs a lot, and Lu Wen will definitely not be able to afford this large amount of money now.  In addition, Lu Wen is also worried that after spending a huge amount of money to cultivate the land, the land will be taken back by the government before the capital is recovered.  Lu Yuanpeng swallowed the last mouthful of rice, wiped his mouth, and was about to explain to Lu Wen, when he saw the engineer Xi was sweating, holding an iron object in his hands, and hurriedly walked into the yard happily.  The excited engineer Xi didn't even pay attention to Lu Yuanpeng's greeting. He gently placed the iron tool in his hand in front of Lu Yuanpeng, straightened up and said happily to Lu Yuanpeng: "Sir, the plow you want has been made."  The head has appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and was used more than 2,300 years earlier than Europeans.  Many archaeological discoveries have proven that iron plows were already commonly used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.  Even if the engineer didn't like it, Lu Wen could tell that it was a plow, but the style of this plow was very different from his own.  Looking at this iron tool that was obviously different from his own plowshare, Lu Wen asked with some confusion.  "This is a plow?" "Yes. Lu Gong, this is exactly the pattern the master gave me. The plow is made with a curved shaft that matches it. The master calls this new plow a curved shaft plow." "New."  Plowshare? Quyuanli?" A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Wen's eyes.  Lu Yuanpeng squatted in front of the new plowshare and was carefully examining the plowshare.  This new plow not only has a sharper plowshare, but also has an adjustable mold wall that is different from the old plow. It is black and exudes a metallic luster.  Yes, this is the new plow he wants.  Lu Yuanpeng carefully studied the iron plow at home and found that the current straight-shaft plow, that is, the two-oxen plow, not only requires two oxen to pull the plow, but the depth of the soil is not enough, and the depth of the soil cannot be adjusted.  Although there is also a plow, the effect of breaking the soil is not good, and someone still needs to break a few larger soil clods.  In other words, this straight-shaft plow not only has poor plowing effect, but also requires two oxen to pull it. One person operates the plow and the other breaks the soil, which is very inefficient.  The curved shaft plow only requires one person and one ox, and can adjust the soil plowing depth, break the soil better, and cultivate the land faster.  With this curved shaft plow, he can reclaim wasteland several times faster than usual.  Lu Yuanpeng only came up with the idea of ??Quyuan Plow when Xu Kan promised to give him wasteland.  He didn't expect that Gong Shixi could make it so quickly.  As for Naquyuan, I think Lai Gongshixi, an expert, will never do a bad job.  After Lu Yuanpeng looked at the plowshare, he began to explain to Lu Wen the benefits of the new plow.  "Have you ever tried it?" Lu Wen looked surprised and still didn't believe it.  When the engineer heard that Lu Yuanpeng asked him if he had tried it, his face flushed with excitement.  "I've tried it, I've tried it." "Young master, this curved shaft plow is really easy to use. I've made some rough calculations. It only takes one person, one ox, and one plow to plow an entire field in one day." "What? Plow an entire field."  !" Lu Wen was startled by Gong Shixi's words.  This speed is several times faster than using an old-fashioned copper plowshare, and even faster than a wooden plow.  Lu Yuanpeng stood up, patted the soil on his hands, and said happily to the engineer: "This curved shaft plow must be made quickly, the more the better"   In the afternoon, Lu Yuanpeng never returned to the military camp.  It's not that he doesn't care about the two Tunjun soldiers, but that he really can't get away.  Lu Yuanpeng followed the engineer to his blacksmith workshop in Xiguan to check out the new plow. He also went to the field to test plowing in person to confirm that the new plow was usable.  Afterwards, he ran back to the Lu family¡¯s new house and discussed with Lu Wen the expansion of the blacksmith workshop and the purchase of iron materials.     money!  Now the Lu family is short of money.  Although there are a lot of ways to make money, these are not yet officially operational.  It was absolutely impossible for Lu Wen to borrow money. It would be more unbearable than killing him.  After some discussion between the father and son, Lu Wen finally reluctantly agreed to allow brothers Lu Ye and Lu Yuan to invest in the company. The shares would be given to them depending on how much they paid, but they could not exceed half of the shares at most.  Lu Wen sent someone to invite brothers Lu Ye and Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuanpeng ran to see Gong to ask for his blessings.  At this meeting, Gong took Lu Yuanpeng and exchanged greetings for a while. It took more than half an hour before Lu Yuanpeng "escaped" from Gong's room. He didn't dare to eat in the new house, so he took Lu Ta and went home directly.  It was already midnight when he got home, and it was already dark. Lu Yuanpeng did not go back to his room, but went to the stable first.  It is said to be a stable, but it is actually the courtyard where the horses were originally housed.  The original stable could not accommodate more than 100 horses. Now, not only the stable is full of horses, but also the yard is full of horses.  If Xue Ou, Wang Sui, and Chen Bi hadn't taken one each, and Lu Yuanpeng had given ten horses to Li Bi, Luo Jia, and their two troops, the yard would have been overcrowded with horses.  These horses must be moved to the military camp as soon as possible. They are all nestled in this small space, so there must be no mistakes.  Fortunately, several family members were very diligent and cleaned the yard very clean. The horses were quiet whether they were lying down or standing, so Lu Yuanpeng felt relieved.  Lu Yuanpeng called Lu Ta and asked Lu Ta to leave the city immediately. He also asked Li Bi and Luo Jia to bring his two troops into the city early tomorrow morning and bring all the horses to the military camp.  Before Lu Ta took the horse out, Lu Yuanpeng told Lu Ta again to go to the iron workshop when he came back and call the engineer Xi Ye back.  After a brief wash and a quick dinner, Lu Yuanpeng took the time to take out the bamboo slips and began to write official script.  Xiao He had urged him several times to write Lu Shu as soon as possible.  Xiao He is now very enthusiastic about Lu Shu.  Please recommend and collect!
