"In the future, these harvesters will harvest all the winter wheat in Binh Duong Province, so I have to keep an eye on it today to see the efficiency of this harvester and the problems encountered in its use, etc."

The head of the Department of Agriculture said.

"Master Wang, you are really thoughtful!" Liu Wenqing complimented the head of the Agriculture Department with a smile on his face.

Although Liu Wenqing is now Zhou Laoliu's father-in-law, Liu Wenqing is also a very good person and never takes the initiative to offend anyone, even if this person is not as powerful as himself.

"Brother Liu, didn't you know when we will start harvesting your winter wheat?"

The head of the Agriculture Department looked at Liu Wenqing, and then pointed at the wheat fields in front of Liu Wenqing.

Liu Wenqing said: "Of course, the sooner the better, if possible now, I would like to start harvesting now."

The head of the Agriculture Department nodded and said: "This harvester has lights on it, so it can be harvested at night, but the speed is not as fast as during the day, but it is still possible."

When Liu Wenqing heard this, he immediately became excited, "Since we can harvest at night, we should harvest at night. Then we should harvest quickly. I have a lot of land at home. If you work overtime, you must finish it in the shortest possible time. Who knows?"

Will it rain these few days."

"With your words, I feel relieved. I'm going to make arrangements now. By the way, where are your landlords? Come with me."

As the director of the Agriculture Department said, he led Liu Wenqing to the side of the seven harvesters.

The director of the Agriculture Department gathered the drivers of the seven harvesters, and then, under the guidance of Liu Wenqing, arranged the harvesting range in detail.

In almost two-quarters of an hour, Liu Wenqing finally told these harvester drivers the location of his field and all other information.

Amidst the rumble of the harvesters, these harvesters headed towards Liu Wenqing's wheat field.

Liu Wenqing stood there and looked at the harvester in the distance, his face full of excitement, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I have lived for such a long time and never thought that such a good thing existed. I didn't dare to think about it before.

"

The director of the Department of Agriculture stood next to Liu Wenqing and said: "Don't say you don't dare to think about it, I don't even dare to think about it. Although I studied in university, it was only theoretical knowledge. I never dared to think about this world.

There will be something like this."

While the two were talking, a harvester stopped in the wheat field in front of Liu Wenqing.

The general appearance of the harvester is similar to that of later generations. This harvester kept adjusting its position in the wheat field. After adjusting the position, the front bucket in front of the harvester fell down, with a louder roar.

The harvester faces forward.

The rollers inside the front bucket continuously collect the wheat into the front bucket. Under the rotation of the sharp drum, the wheat ears are cut off by the sharp blade on the drum and then sent in.

After a series of crushing and impurity removal, the wheat grains fell off the ears and entered the storage area of ​​the harvester.

About two-quarters of an hour later, the harvester stopped beside the path.

The driver stepped down from the cockpit and came to the head of the Agriculture Department and Liu Wenqing.

The driver looked at the two men and pointed to the harvester behind them, and said to them: "The wheat in the harvester is full. Now we need to put them out quickly and then pull them back."

"Master Wang, what does this mean?"

Liu Wenqing had never come into contact with a harvester. Although he had seen it before in Xuanzhen, he did not understand the specific working method of the harvester.

Liu Wenqing looked at the head of the Agriculture Department and asked with confusion.

The head of the Agriculture Department explained it to Liu Wenqing with a smile.

Not long after, Liu Wenqing suddenly realized and said: "So it's like this, you mean that the harvested wheat has been stored in the harvester, and now you need to release the wheat stored in the harvester.

Is that what you mean?"

The head of the Agriculture Department nodded and said, "That's what I mean, but it's difficult for an ordinary cart to pull the wheat back into the harvester.

You must know that there is a lot of wheat stored in the harvester, and it is difficult for an ordinary cart to pull the wheat back into the harvester."

"Then how do I get this wheat back?" Liu Wenqing looked at the head of the Agriculture Department.

The director of the Department of Agriculture said: "You can use trucks to bring the wheat back."

When Liu Wenqing heard this, his expression changed, "Use a truck to pull this wheat back? Although my son-in-law is said to be a marquis, I am not. Where did I get the truck? The most I have is a tricycle, too.

Pedal, how can I have a truck? If I had a truck, would I still use you?"

"I know you don't have a truck, but our Agriculture Department has trucks. But you know these things are all tolled."

"As long as you can get my wheat back, I'll accept your charge. Where are your trucks now? Why didn't I see you bring them with them?"

"The truck is not at the Agriculture Department office now. It has been sent for maintenance. It will probably be back in another hour and a half."

"Then hurry up and don't delay the harvesting time."

"This cannot be delayed. Don't worry about this. I have already sent people to tell you that they will come to you as soon as the inspection is completed. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Liu Wenqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As he spoke, Liu Wenqing sat on the roadside and waited quietly. When the sun set over the western mountains, five or six trucks came from a distance.

Liu Wenqing looked at the truck coming this way and stood up hastily, "Oh, it's finally here. It almost made me wait for death. It almost made me anxious to death."

After the truck arrived, the harvesting machine, which was already full of wheat, placed the wheat inside the truck compartment. Finally, the truck pulled the wheat loaded into the compartment and headed towards Liu Wenqing's manor under the leadership of Liu Wenqing's housekeeper.

It took nearly two days of harvesting, and Liu Wenqing's wheat was finally harvested.

The weather has been relatively good these past few days, and it has not rained. Although it sometimes gets cloudy, it has not rained.

In the following time, the director of the Agriculture Department took these harvesters and trucks to harvest all the wheat fields around Pingyang Prefecture.

As for the counties under Pingyang Prefecture, they are also equipped with harvesters, so the directors of the agriculture departments in those counties under Pingyang Prefecture do not need to worry too much.

After the grain was harvested, the head of the Agriculture Department sent officials to weigh the wheat harvested by each household and then count the quantities.

The calculated quantities must be registered and sent to the Ministry of Agriculture for storage after the summer harvest.

At the same time, vigorous summer harvests began across the country, and Thomas finally returned to England at this time.

London at this time was far less prosperous than the London of later generations.

At this time, the port of London was also relatively small. It would take nearly a hundred years for the Port of London to truly grow. After industrialization began, the Port of London further prospered.

The Port of London is still relatively bleak now. Thomas stood on the deck of the merchant ship. He looked at the sea in front of him and the vaguely visible coastline, his face full of excitement.

He opened his arms and hugged in the direction of London, "I'm back, I'm finally back."

Thomas looked at the port ahead and kept shouting loudly.

On the merchant ship he was on, he took the Dresser rifles and matching bullets and grenades that Zhao Wen had given him.

Zhao Wen sold Thomas a total of one thousand Dresser rifles, and all of these rifles are now stored in the cabin.

On the deck of this merchant ship, the sailors of this merchant ship were also like Thomas. They stood on the deck and kept cheering towards the direction of the Port of London.

Almost a year has passed since they left. During this year, they have suffered a lot.

In addition to running around on the sea, they were imprisoned by Mao Chengzuo for such a long time, and now they can finally see home.

Thomas looked ahead at the vaguely visible coastline, thinking of the hardships he had endured along the way, and tears instantly flowed from his eyes.

"I'm back, I'm back, I'm finally back now."

Thomas wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and murmured.

Surrounding Thomas's fleet was the fleet sent by Mao Chengzuo according to Zhao Wen's instructions.

The fleet has a total of one treasure ship and five sailing battleships. These five sailing battleships are all first-class sailing battleships. They are very large in size and have a large displacement. Although they are not as big as the treasure ship, they are still very large.

Although the number of ships in this fleet is not large, it can be said to be invincible in the West, especially the weapons on the treasure ships, which can be said to be a mobile arsenal.

To put it bluntly, the firepower of this fleet alone can challenge the entire West alone. This is not a boast.

As the fleet continued to approach, people at the London port also discovered the fleet.

Walking at the front of the fleet was the huge treasure ship. The treasure ship was very large. People at the London Port were the first to discover the treasure ship.

There is a watchtower built above the Port of London, and there are soldiers wearing lobster suits on the watchtower.

They held monoculars in their hands and looked at the sea, "What is that? What do you think that is?"

A soldier on the lookout held up a monocular and looked at the sea with a panicked look on his face.

In the field of view of the monocular, a huge ship was coming towards this side.

Behind this ship, there are five large ships heading this way. This fleet is mighty and menacing.

As for the Thomas fleet behind the fleet, it was selectively ignored by this soldier.

A soldier stood next to him. He listened to the soldier's exclamation and hurriedly took the monocular telescope from the soldier's hand.

The soldier next to him placed the monocular on his right eye. He squinted his left eye and looked toward the sea ahead through his right eye.

Sure enough, a huge ship came towards him, towards the port.

The ship was very big, and a pressure rushed towards me. "What is this? Where did this ship come from? I have never seen such a big ship."

The soldier looked panicked. He hurriedly ran down from the watchtower and reported the incident.

In today's Western world, the Hundred Years War has just ended, so there are still so many watchtowers left in the port of London. These watchtowers were originally used to observe the enemy's situation. With the end of the Hundred Years War, they are now basically used

It's no longer of much use.

As the fleet got closer and closer to the port, it didn't take long for all the watchtowers above the port to spot the huge treasure ship and the five sailing battleships behind the treasure ship.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the port, and the merchant ships loading goods in the port hurriedly put away their anchors and fled around.
