Chapter 386
Dongfang Ming did not expect that the old village chief classified him as a group of people who came to conquer young and strong people. Hearing the old village chief's skillful words and expressions of not being surprised at all, it was estimated that Xiaopo Village had been conscripted several times or inclined uprisings.
He glanced at the people who followed the old village chief to Gensheng's family. There were indeed only a few young and strong men, most of them were elderly people and women and children. It is estimated that the young people who stayed by Gensheng were also those who stayed by the old village chief who tried their best to keep them.
Dongfang Ming coughed lightly and explained to the old village chief: "Old man, you misunderstood. We are not here to recruit men, we are just here to see the situation."
The old village chief was a little confused. What else could these people come out with real objects, not to attract strong men?
Now there is basically not much food in their village except for people. It is good to have a meal before the weather has recovered. Most of the time, they just use water to gangsters’ stomachs. Now that the weather is getting warmer, everyone can go out to find some wild vegetable bark to fill their stomachs, but when the wild vegetable bark is eaten, they have no seeds for spring sowing.
And even if it is really sown, what will support the crop before it matures?
Before the old village chief guessed Dongfang Ming's purpose, Gensheng's wife had already cooked the noodle soup and came out to ask someone to help bring the food out.
When I heard that there was food and the strength to help, I immediately rushed in and followed the already narrow kitchen of the three families.
The old village chief had no time to take care of Dongfang Ming's intentions at this time. Although he did not rush to the kitchen like others, his eyes were already looking at the kitchen.
For those who have been hungry for a long time, how can conspiracy come with food? Filling your stomach is the top priority.
Seeing that the old village chief was a little absent-minded, Dongfang Ming didn't say anything more. It is more important to let these people fill their stomachs first. After all, matter determines consciousness, and you have to fill your stomach to have the strength to think about other things.
Seeing everyone rushing over, the child was pushed aside and staring at him with a belated look. Gensheng frowned and said loudly: "Let the child and pregnant women eat a little first. Everyone else wait a little."
Gensheng's wife also said: "There is still a pot being cooked, don't worry, it will be done soon."
Seeing this, Dongfang Ming nodded with satisfaction. This is a good person. In this case, he also knows to let the children and pregnant women first.
Ren Woxing stood aside and looked at the people holding bowls and eating. He looked at the new literature and science and then looked at Dongfang Ming and wanted to speak but stopped.
Dongfang Ming said helplessly: "Literature and science, give Xiao Ren some food."
Xin Wenli shook his head and reached out to take out a piece of cake from his bag and gave it to Ren Woxing. Ren Woxing smiled and immediately took it and gave it to him.
"Yuesheng, do you want to eat something too?" Gensheng walked towards Dongfang Ming with a bowl.
Dongfang Ming shook his head: "You eat."
Gensheng nodded gratefully and then handed the bowl in his hand to another man next to him. The man took the bowl and drank the soup in the bowl in a few seconds.
Dongfang Ming only brought them ten dough cakes. He really wanted to cook them into dough soup, but there were not many dough cakes in it. But Gensheng's wife was also a wonderful person. She not only put the dough cakes down and cooked them, but also put some wild vegetables and wheat bran.
Although wheat bran is slit, if you eat this bowl of noodle soup, at least children can eat enough, and adults can barely eat half full.
After the people from Xiaopo Village finished eating the two pots of noodle soup, the village chief stood up and walked towards Dongfang Ming and others.
He bowed to Dongfang Ming: "Mr. Yue, you give me a cake to save me. My great kindness and virtue are unforgettable to my family in Xiaopo Village!" The others in Xiaopo Village also bowed to Dongfang Ming as the village chief.
Dongfang Ming quickly helped the old village chief up and then said: "When today is in chaos, there is another famine, and hunger is everywhere, and good people follow the bandits. I, Yue, cannot bear to see this. I have such ability. People protect themselves in troubled times. If you have such ability, you will do your best to do your best. One person is one person."
"Young Master Yue..." The old village chief was shocked by Dongfang Ming's words, and water slowly shone on his turbid eyes.
The new literary and intellectuals standing aside were shocked when they heard Dongfang Ming's words. He looked at Dongfang Ming with even more admiration and respect. He also felt that following Dongfang Ming was the right choice. How could a person with such a mind treat him badly? How could he not do anything?
Although he could not understand why Dongfang Ming wanted to take out dry food for these poor peasants like refugees, Dongfang Ming must have his ideas.
Dongfang Ming took the old village chief's hand and said, "We don't say much about some false words from the old man. I heard that the plows in your village are placed here. I wonder if it's convenient to see them?"
The old village chief's expression when he heard this was the same as when Gensheng heard Dongfang Ming's expression before saying that he would look at the plow.
Is there something wrong with this person's mind? Why do we look at the plow in their village?
But because Dongfang Ming provided them with food, the old village chief did not ask any inappropriate questions. He did not immediately call someone to take the plow from the village to show Dongfang Ming.
After they moved the plow out, Dongfang Ming could be regarded as seeing the plow of this era. It was somewhat different from the modern curved plow in his impression.
Compared with straight plows and long plows, there is already a bit of curved plows. Straight plows and long plows have become curved plows, but the plow plate is fixed and there is no more plows and plow construction.
Dongfang Ming looked at the plow in front of him and touched his chin meaningfully.
He had thought that this time was already the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Quyuan Plough should have developed almost the same as the descendants. He did not expect that it had just a prototype, and it had not yet reached the full maturity of descendants.
That was the information he saw in the Basic Encyclopedia before. There was no obvious structural change in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Therefore, Dongfang Ming guessed that after the emergence of Quyuan Plough, it was basically a fixed development after the emergence of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was considered that something with a mature structure had appeared.
The complete curved shaft plow first changes the straight shaft and long shaft to curved shaft and short shaft, and installs a freely rotating plow plate on the shaft head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes it easier to turn and turn, and operate flexible, saving manpower and animal power.
The second is to add plow review and plow construction. If the plow review is promoted, the plow arrow can be pushed downwards, and the plowshare can be deep when it is penetrated into the soil. If the plow review is raised, the plow arrow will be moved upwards, and the plowshare can be shallow when it is penetrated into the soil. The different requirements of the bend plow plow, the plow arrow and the plow tillage can be standardized, and the plowing land can be adjusted to facilitate careful cultivation. The plow wall can not only crush the soil, but also push the plowing soil to one side, reducing the resistance to the plow's advance.
Dongfang Ming thought that, indeed, if you want to work hard, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to develop agriculture, you must first increase your productivity, such as making a curved plow!
