Chapter nine hundred and sixty third great(1/2)

Half a month later, after half a month of driving training, the first batch of 200 tractors finally set off.

Sixty of them were carrying large quantities of glassware, animal skins and spices to Izumo.

Others went to the southeast and north respectively, and some went directly to the fields with rotary tillage accessories.

"Xiao Shitou, where have you been going these days? I don't care about the land? What is this? I can actually run away by myself?" These people all live in farms outside the city. They rarely hear about new things like tractors. They are surprised when they see a young man driving back this strange thing.

"Call me, don't call me Xiaoshitou. This is a tractor, have you never heard of it?"

"without!"

"It can be used to pull goods and plow the land, which was newly developed by Prince Zhao." Wanshi showed off.

"Can this thing plow the land? What do these round ones do?" Many people were amazed.

"That's a tire, don't stab it with a knife. I'll tell you, whoever stabs me and you are anxious." The man who was sitting steadily on the tractor and showing off according to the script suddenly jumped down in anger.

Everyone smiled and dispersed.

"How is it? Let's see who plows faster?"

"What's the point of working hard?"

"One tael of silver! If you win, I will give you one tael of silver. If you win, you will give me a day of work."

Ordinary people earn only one or two to one or two taels per month. When they heard this good thing, they suddenly said, "How can I compare with you?"

"We will compete with the six. The five of you plowed together faster than me and better than me. Even if you win, I will give you a tael of silver. If five of you can't compare to me, come and do a day of work for me."

"Bah, do you look down on us? Do you want to find a place to practice?" Several big men said angrily.

"Can you appreciate it or not? Let's talk about it first. Let's compare the plowing land this time, not the fists and feet." Wanshi smiled and said.

"Little Shitou, just wait and pay!" several big men said one after another.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, it will start at dawn!" Wanshi laughed and said, "Get out of the way, don't care if you hit me!"

As soon as I stepped on the accelerator, the tractor left with a smoky sound.

"Tsk tsk, this thing is really fresh. Prince Zhao is really amazing. He made so many things."

"Yes, although he is not strong, Lancheng's new things in recent years are related to him."

"Nonsense, your Majesty's vision is wrong? Otherwise, even our masters, Junyan, would not even look down on him, so why did he choose him as his husband? It would definitely be amazing. I heard that a few years ago, Prince Zhao competed with someone and made such a big pit outside the city. I went to the city to see it specially, which was hundreds of feet!"

"I've also gone to see it. I heard that it was a blow that made such a big pit!"

Everyone was talking about it. Over the years, the people around Lancheng had greatly improved Ren Baqian.

However, everyone still thinks that although Prince Zhao is powerful, it does not mean that he can farm.

They still don't believe such a thing can exceed five strong laborers and horned cows.

...

The next morning, before dawn, everyone arrived at the edge of the field.

Even if you don't participate in the competition, you are willing to watch the fun.

Most of the hundred people in a village have reached.

"Small stone hasn't come yet?"

"That guy is still sleeping, right?"

"Wait, why don't anyone call him!"

Just when everyone was impatient, they heard the loud and loud sound coming from afar.

"Here's here!"

"How can this thing go all the way?"

This remark immediately caused a burst of laughter.

However, everyone was still a little envious of the little stones riding the steel monsters, who came from a distance with smoke.

This thing... looks very touching!

But what everyone couldn't understand the most was where did Xiaoshitou get so much money?

Judging from the weight of this steel monster, the price is definitely not acceptable to ordinary people. It is not easy for a small stone to pay a few taels of silver. Where can I get the money to buy such a steel monster?

"Hehe, everyone is here early!"

"Little Shitou, should we compare? We are five of you? I'll give you a chance to change your words and save you from saying that we're bullying you!" Although these people are fierce, they are simple and kindly reminded.

"Don't just say I'll bully you at that time." Xiao Shitou waved his hand, full of confidence.

He had seen a demonstration of this thing a few days ago.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. It's just the new resting ground to be plowed. You start from that end, and the small stone starts from this end."

"Okay, that's it!" Xiao Shitou smiled and drove the tractor toward the other end of the field.

When we arrived at the edge of the field, the little stone first pressed down the raised rotary tillator, and the gears penetrated deeply into the soil.

Turning his head and looking into the distance, he has already started working there.

Xiao Shitou sat back on the tractor and touched it everywhere, unable to hide his love.

I didn't expect such a good thing to fall into my hands, thanks to my uncle Iron Knife.

After touching the brand new steel monster, Xiao Shitou smiled and stepped on the accelerator with one foot.

After installing a rotary tiller, the tractor was slower and he could feel the resistance from the land.

However, the steel monster under him was still firm and hesitantly heading forward.

The people who were observing not far away suddenly shouted softly.

I turned my head to look at the five people. At this time, each of them had almost plowed a quarter of the acre of land.

Moreover, they first use human plows and then horned cattle, which can save more animal energy and can plow two more acres a day.

Five people ploughed out forty acres a day.

Can this strange thing under the foot of the little stone be cultivated forty acres?

Time passed little by little, and when the sun was almost above, everyone's faces had changed.

The five people next to them had already rested, but Xiao Shitou's speed did not slow down at all. He kept plowing the ground without stopping, and had already caught up with the five people.

The five people plowed 25 acres in one morning, which was the fastest speed, and they could plow up to fifteen acres in the afternoon.

Xiao Shitou plowed thirty acres in one morning, and the steel monster under him was still not tired at all.

This made everyone feel a bad premonition.

Could this thing be comparable to five people and five horned cows?

In the afternoon, the speed of the five people next to him had slowed down, while the little stone was still plowing the ground at the same speed, and the thing behind him that was turning was still constantly turning over the soil.

It was not until the evening that Xiao Shitou blew out of the tractor with sweat, raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it? Are you convinced?"

Everyone's eyes did not focus on him, but on the steel monster under the little stone.

This thing plowed 60 acres of land all day, and it would not stop at all. It was simply terrible.

"Damn it." A sweaty man cursed. "This thing is so powerful."

Yes, the five of them had exhausted their strength and plowed forty-five acres of land, but the stability of this thing was simply hopeless.

"Hehe!" Xiao Shitou smiled quite complacently. "Would you like to accept the loss of the bet?"

"Bah, I'm the one who doesn't care? Believe it or not, I'll let you taste your fists?"

When night comes, the bustle in the farm has not passed.

A group of people surrounded the tractor and discussed the matter with Xiao Shitou, and asked Xiao Shitou about the situation and price of this thing.

When everyone was told that they wanted two hundred taels of silver, everyone was a little silent.

Things are good things, but unfortunately, I can't afford them!

"Don't think it's expensive. I tell you that this thing is worth ten laborers. Ten laborers can earn one hundred taels of silver a year, and two years can earn it back."

"How can you get that much money? Where did you get the money?" Someone said.

"I, don't worry about it. As for the money, this thing can be paid in installments, which was said by Prince Zhao. In order to improve the situation of us people, Your Majesty will first pay out his own pocket to pay the money, and then we will pay it back a few every year, which can be paid for it in up to five years.

You can calculate that you will pay it back in five years and pay forty taels of silver a year. This thing does ten people's work a year and earns one hundred taels, and the sixty taels are all yours. And if you pay off His Majesty's money in five years, this thing is also yours."

After Xiao Shitou finished speaking, everyone around began to count by fingers and toes. After calculating for a long time, they still couldn't figure out whether this was the case.

"What I said seems to make sense, I'd better think about it." Someone hesitated.

For ordinary people, two hundred taels are an astronomical number. Even if they put the number in front of them, it is difficult for them to decide how to do it, and they are more likely to wait and see.

In fact, this is the purpose of Ren Baqian. After all, the output of tractors is not enough now.

What he is doing now is just to make a tool like a tractor deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Two or three years later, as the lives of the first people who used tractors improved, it was the time for the tractor market to be fully launched.
