The southern foot of the river is the Sijin Temple.

Master Yuantong, the abbot of the temple, heard that Xuanzang came from Chang'an and traveled thousands of miles to India to seek the Dharma, and immediately felt awe.

Despite Xuanzang's refusal, he still couldn't resist Master Yuantong's repeated invitations and was welcomed into the Jin Temple and warmly received.

Although it is just an ordinary vegetarian meal, Master Yuantong is good at speaking and listening to his introduction to the customs and culture of Longyou while eating, he also feels delicious.

After the meal, Xuanzang introduced Luo Taisui's idea of ​​the Quyuan Plough. Master Yuantong also showed interest in farming and immediately sent someone to arrange it.

One day later, all the materials were in place, and even the iron plowshare was crafted with a blacksmith.

Luo Taisui's choice to cooperate with Buddhism has his own profound meaning, but it has to be said that sometimes compared with the imperial court, Buddhism is more efficient.

The materials and components are in place, and it will be easier to do next.

Luo Taisui began to "build a car behind closed doors", using the Kirin arm to process and adjust the parts of the curved plow, and finally assemble them.

The Quyuan Plough, which only spent one stick of incense, had a profound impact on farming in later generations, appeared for the first time in Longyou of the Tang Dynasty.

A group of monks who did nothing could chant scriptures and chant Buddha's name, and they all gathered around to watch.

"I got this thing out after working hard all day?"

Yuanrun, the monk in charge of the farming department of the Hujin Temple, looked at the newly launched curved plow while touching his round bald head, and said, "Isn't it just a plow? This plow is indeed light, but it is only suitable for farming on small farmland."

After a pause, he said again: "The long straight plow we use now is quite solid and can save a lot of effort when arable land.

You are like this..."

He weighed the weight of the curved plow and laughed: "It's too light, I'm afraid I can't hold it back when plowing the land, it's hard to do it."

The plow that Yuanmeng refers to as a plow is actually a short shaft and a ox plow.

The short shaft is flexible in operation, and one person and one cattle can complete the farming.

But this kind of plow is only suitable for small farmland.

Today, the Tang Dynasty implemented the equal-field system. Any male person over the age of 18 gave one hectares of land, of which 80 mu were divided into estuary land and twenty mu were Yongye land.

This hectares of land are basically divided together to facilitate the people to cultivate in a concentrated manner.

In this way, the disadvantages of the plow are revealed.

Therefore, people generally use long shaft plows and straight shaft plows with two oxen squads.

Hearing the round words, Luo Taisui smiled: "This is not a wreath. The monk looked at the shaft body, with a streamlined design..."

He reached out and stroked the body of the throne, and praised: "How round this curve is."

Yuanrun's face suddenly became wrong after hearing this.

"This is called a curved plow. It can be plowed deeply, shallow plow, large-scale farming, or fine plowing." Luo Taisui really wanted to tell him the so-called principle of mechanics, but he also knew that this was playing the piano for cows. "With a curved plow plow, you don't need to rely on manpower to plow the land, but you just raise it up when necessary. Both people and cows save effort. Do you understand, monk?"

"How is that possible?" Yuanrun shouted, "Who who has planted the land knows that it is necessary to press down with plowing land?

You have to raise it up, isn’t it that you can’t even get dirt?

Little donor, your plow looks good, but I’m sorry, it’s a bit whimsical to use for farming.”

"Yes, the little donor has never been to the ground, right?"

"Although I haven't been placed in the ground, this thing is made into a decent shape."

"It's not considered a fabrication, it's just that the straight plow has changed its shape."

...

For a moment, all the monks pointed at Quyuanli and talked a lot.

Obviously they believe in their experience more.

Only Xuanzang and Master Yuantong stood aside and just watched.

Xuanzang thought about something, but when he was perfect, he smiled without saying anything.

Luo Taisui saw that these monks looked like they had never seen the world before, so she wanted to sweep them all away with one stick...

However, we have always won over others with virtue, so how can we not talk about martial ethics?

"If the monk really doesn't believe it...why should we compete?" he suggested.

"Just compete!"

A group of fat monks who were dissatisfied with each other were eager to try.

The Temple of Shijin originally had a large amount of land.

The abbot Master Yuantong immediately arranged to try to plow with straight-rod plows and curved plows to see if the so-called curved plow is really as powerful as Luo Taisui said.

In fact, everyone was skeptical before the trial.

Because this so-called curved plow is not a little lighter than a long straight plow, it is less than five kilograms.

Can you eat and live in the mud like this?

But half an hour later, all doubts were broken. The monks were so shocked that they could not speak when the first test of Quyuan Plough.

There is no harm without comparison.

Under the same farm conditions, the farming efficiency of the curved plow is more than three times that of the straight plow!

The straight plow is not only bulky, but also shallow in eating soil, not easy to bear force, and not flexible, making it very difficult to cultivate.

By adjusting the plow evaluation and plow construction, the curved plow can fully adapt to the different requirements of deep or shallow plowing, and the deepest can even reach one foot.

You should know that deep turning will make the soil softer, making the surface eggs and grass seeds turn deeper, reducing pests and diseases, and also helping the roots of the grains penetrate deep into the soil, which is conducive to the growth of crops and absorbing soil nutrients.

More importantly, the curved plow also saves manpower and cow power.

A straight-roof plow requires two cows, and a curved plow requires only one, even a fool can tell.

According to the old farmer who personally went down to the field to experiment, there is no need to put downward force during the plough plow, and it is not very difficult to put downward force.

And it is quite clever and light, making it easy to rotate.

After seeing the performance of Quyuanli, the monks realized that what Luo Taisui said was not false, and they were all amazed.

But the abbot Master Yuantong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt like he had obtained a treasure.

A group of local buns who have never seen the world.

Luo Taisui grinned.

What is this?

If it weren't for the limitations of the Tang Dynasty's iron smelting technology, he could have improved it better.

But even so, for a long time, the curved plow brought by Luo Taisui will determine the problem of people's food and clothing.

Next, Luo Taisui officially handed over the Quyuan Plough to the Sijin Temple.

The Sijin Temple is responsible for popularizing this kind of plow.

Master Yuantong, the abbot of the Hujin Temple, was relatively pragmatic. He took advantage of the opportunity of Xuanzang staying to communicate Buddhism and never tire of discussing the working principle of Quyuan Plough with Luo Taisui.

Even the general designs of Luo Taisui's not-so-mature agricultural tools, such as seedling horses and high-rotor trucks, were exhausted by him.

Two more days later, Luo Taisui urged Xuanzang to set off the road quickly.

If you stay any longer, he may have the identity of the time traveler taken away.

It's so scary!
