Eagle Byzantium

Now Anna knew that Gawain was beginning to threaten her with a counterattack, so she wrinkled her small nose and smiled proudly, "Just in time, you, the barbarian, are also full of dust. Go immediately to the farm of the Holy Land Real Estate under the city. Go and have a look. It’s time to rest and relax. You used to take me on the tour, but now I’ll take you there.”

The reason why Anna is so confident is of course her most valued "female ink officer" Agnes Plani.

In the "Model Farm" designated by Anna, Gawain rode a horse and guided the banners and carriages to the place, a farmland surrounded by well-maintained canals and ponds, with farmhouses arranged in a circle around it. , more refined and tidy than before Quite a few - the roofs are covered with neat thatch, farm tools and flower pots are placed on the wooden stands in front of the yard, and young seedlings or fruit trees have begun to be planted in the back (Gowen announced that farmers on the sacred land, breeding Poultry, cultivated trees are exempt).

On the edge of farms and hills, areas where the soil is not yet fully open are also fenced with wooden fences. Livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses are raised on the grass, and farmers pile up manure on them. Outside the livestock pens, There are also Some of the spare manpower came here to build scaffoldings, smashed down wooden stakes in rows, and spread the grape seedlings in a sloping manner. "This can increase the yield as soon as possible." Anna, who was sitting in the carriage, seemed to have a very expert tone. Said to Gawain.

In the main arable land where the smoke is rising, farmers have begun plowing the land and sowing autumn wheat. In the rest of the fallow areas, some people are carrying straw bales to prepare for fertile soil.

Under a tall poplar tree, Agnes stood there with dignity. In front of her, there were several "new" farm tools, an army baggage cart, and several tied horses. mules, horses and oxen.

"Hey, little sunfish..." Gawain greeted the female royal ink officer very affectionately. Then he turned over and dismounted. Muzafi'adin hurriedly came over and held the bridle, leading Sabina to that side to prevent her from being bitten by these rude animals.

"You rude fellow, who is the sunfish!" Agnes protested, but Gawain, who walked under the poplar tree, held his wrist back and forth. As if he didn't care about her mood at all, he said to himself, "Little Sunfish, it seems that you and Anna have planned a lot of novel and useful equipment during this time, right?"

"Humph, veteres Romanidixerunt male subactum, qui. satisfrugibus, occandussit!" Agnes muttered this sentence very arrogantly, her tongue was very dexterous, and then Anna smiled and nodded.

"Stop talking like a bird!" Gawain became angry because this little gray-haired girl didn't understand Latin, but Anna did, making him look very uneducated. Dim next to him was also scratching his head, looking confused.

"This is a farming proverb from the ancient Roman era." Agnes said clearly (I asked Sulla, but Sulla didn't understand), and after speaking, she waved to her servant. Soon the servant put the harness on the two cows, and then dragged a mechanical box with large wheels behind the two cows, connected to the cow's yoke with a rolling belt, and then the servant waved the whip, and the two cows The cows move forward in unison, and the delicate belt device transmits power to the box behind them. The wheels turn. Gawain saw that this force moved the iron teeth on the front of the box, making a clicking sound. Send a row of wheat in, and the ears will be automatically cut off by the iron teeth. It landed neatly in the box below.

After the demonstration, Agnes said proudly, "How about this? This is a mechanical skill lost in the ancient times, an automatic combing and picking machine!"

Under the poplar tree, Anna enthusiastically applauded her female imperial ink officer, and Gawain quickly hit Agnes’s head with his fist and said, “Idiot, a guy like you can’t stop thinking about problems. Just think about it from the perspective of miraculous skills - without any regard for the reality of work, as if inventing some weird things can change the world."

"This is recorded in the agricultural books of the ancient times... You are jealous. You are nakedly jealous that my skills are better than yours and my mind is smarter than yours." Agnes protected her head and protested angrily.

Gawain said to Dim, "You have done farm work before. Go and see what happens to the wheat straw after this machine cuts the wheat ears."

The giant Goliath-like guard ran to take a look and said, "All the wheat straw is wasted. It cannot be used to feed cattle or fertilize."

Agnes ran over and guarded the mechanical box nervously, "Nick-picking, this is just a machine for cutting wheat ears. What's the purpose of lifting wheat straws?"

"If you use this kind of machine, you have to use two cows. The use of cows is costly - now even the wheat straw is wasted. How to solve the problem of feed for the cows? If you use this broken machine to cultivate a hundred acres of land, the farmer will The loss of feed money far exceeds the profit," Gao Wen said unceremoniously, and then he said again. He walked over and twisted Agnes's braid, as if scolding his daughter, "Also, this kind of machine may not be more efficient than manual labor. If we all use this kind of automatic equipment, I ask you, let it be idle The more labor force there is, the more people will be unable to support their families without a job. Have you ever considered it?”

"Then what should I do?" Agnes's expression was unconvincing and fearful, which made Anna constantly mediate.

"Invent an improved sickle with comb teeth that can be controlled by one person to cut wheat ears and straw. It is convenient and cheap. Only then can you make the best use of everything!" Gawain pushed Agnes away. He clapped his hands and sentenced Agnes to death for being the first to create an invention. The reason was that it was "flashy", just like her mouthful of Latin, "What's the next appliance?"

Reluctantly, Agnes put out an inconspicuous object, "This is a hard yoke that can be put on the neck of the horse. With the new shaft pole, it can be used for horse-drawn plowing and horse-drawn carts." "The gray-haired girl squinted her eyes and did not look at Gawain. When introducing the hard yoke, her tone was obviously much lower and more flat than the previous "automatic combing and picking machine". It was obvious that she was not interested in this. A cool invention, but I don’t particularly like it.

But before Anna could react and applaud, Gawain clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up: This gray-haired girl who likes girls finally has a normal IQ. Last time he took these two to Mu When inspecting the Te River Valley, Agnes inspected I feel that when tenant farmers use horses to pull vehicles, the soft leather belts tied around their chests can easily slip to their necks and strangle them, causing the horses to feel pain like suffocation. The efficiency is very low when working, and The damage suffered was particularly great. So Agnes made a hard yoke and a collar instead of soft leather straps to put on the horse, so that when pulling heavy objects, the horse would not feel uncomfortable due to suffocation and be unable to move.

After Gawain finished applauding, Anna stared at her eyes and followed behind her twice. Then Gawain waved to Agnes and said kindly, "Little sunfish, come here." (To be continued. ~^~)
