The Curved-Shaft Plow's effectiveness was obvious. If it could be promoted throughout Mountain Forest Town, ensuring every village had several, or even more than a dozen plows, then whether reclaiming wasteland or turning over fallow fields for replanting, it would save far more manpower and resources than before.
Luo Ning could then put the saved labor into other productive activities.
Moreover, this deep-plowing method, combined with the Ridge Cultivation Method Luo Ning was about to introduce, would definitely raise Mountain Forest Town's crop yields by another level!
But clearly, to promote it on a large scale, they first had to solve the issue of production capacity.
Mountain Forest Town only had Callus and his son, who was still an apprentice, as blacksmiths. Without the ability to cast plowshares, Callus could only hammer away by himself, making the production of plowshares and moldboards rather slow.
As for the plow body, it was nowhere near as complicated as crafting weapons and armor from Black Iron Tree wood. Even Ram, that half-baked carpenter's apprentice, could make one. They only needed to find a few people to practice a few times, and it should not be a problem. Mountain Forest Town had plenty of birch wood anyway.
"Callus, I bought two thousand pounds of Wrought Iron on this trip. I need you to forge at least thirty Curved-Shaft Plows like this."
The reason for thirty was not that there was insufficient iron, but that Mountain Forest Town did not have that many cattle.
Mountain Forest Castle had only twenty-four Black Water Buffalo used for plowing. Including the few owned by individual Tenant Farmers in town, there were only around thirty in total.
"Oh heavens, thirty?"
Callus's eyes widened in shock. He had never received such a large order.
"Yes, and this is only the
