Time passed quickly.
The five thousand curved beam plows requested by Brother Zheng had already been distributed for several months.
Today was the day when the last ten curved plow beams would be distributed to Yi 'an Village.
The villagers had long heard that the current Emperor, the Great Qin Ancestral Dragon, had improved the plows and could increase the efficiency of plowing by more than ten times.
Some time ago, Tonghe Village, which was near Yi 'an Village, had received the Quyuan Plow from the Imperial Court.
There were a lot of people around him during the trial, and the impression of Brother Zheng finally began to change for the better.
"Tie Zhu, what the hell are you doing? He was dawdling! Hurry up, your family will have a share of Qu Yuanli today. If you are late, don't blame me for snatching it for you!”
Tie Zhu was a well-known expert in farming in Yi 'an Village, and his family had the most harvest every year.
"How dare you? That was given to me by His Majesty. If you dare to snatch it, I'll break your legs!”
After hearing the sound outside the door, Tie Zhu hurriedly grabbed two mouthfuls of rice, then quickly rushed to the village entrance to get the Quyuan Li.
Then Tie Zhu could not wait to smash the broken plow at home and replace it with a curved shaft plow.
He didn't care that he didn't need to plow the land in this season, so he pulled the cow and drove it to his own land.
Tie Zhu had been very envious when he saw someone plowing the land with a curved shaft plow in Tonghe Village.
After pulling the cattle to the field, Tie Zhu found that there were many villagers watching.
Tie Zhu was very proud of himself and began to try it out.
The smooth feeling of the plow blade when it was buried in the soil made it easy for the cattle to dig the soil thoroughly without much effort.
Tie Zhu plowed the land as he shouted in his heart,"Long live the First Emperor!"
The eyes of the other commoners on the ground were also burning, and they were thanking the current Emperor in their hearts.
...
On the other side, Brother Zheng had been in Xianyang City for three to four months. The Six Dynasties nobles in the city were all silent and did not dare to cross the line.
What these nobles were most afraid of now was that the royal family would not sell them white wine.
Brother Zheng had really made the white wine into three, six, and nine grades. He had personally set an example and took the lead in selling all kinds of white wine in Xianyang City.
As soon as those spirits were introduced, they received a strong pursuit from the nobles.
If they went out to visit now, they would be ridiculed by the other nobles if they did not bring out a bottle of high-grade white wine.
Of course, the main reason why Xianyang City could have such an effect was that Brother Zheng had used many small tricks.
There was a group of people in Xianyang City who were responsible for publicizing which noble had bought which wine.
If the quality of the wine they bought was high, they would feel that it was more prestigious after it was publicized. If the wine they bought was not good enough, then the imperial court would consider whether your family's quality was not high enough and not sell it to you next time.
In order to maximize this effect, Brother Zheng even gave up his status and personally praised the Chu noble who bought the most expensive wine.
Those nobles were already afraid of the Ancestral Dragon to the bone. Now, as long as they bought wine, they could make the Ancestral Dragon happy. All of them were like crazy.
The people of the Shao Mansion were making wine day and night, but the supply was in short supply. They could only openly recruit people who knew how to make wine.
It also promoted the employment rate in Xianyang City. Brother Zheng had heard this word when he was chatting with Su Yang.
Only a few months had passed. With Brother Zheng's help, the method of emptying the nobles 'pockets with wine that Su Yang had mentioned the other day had begun to take effect.
The speed at which he amassed money made Brother Zheng smile from ear to ear every day.
In addition, the cotton had been growing well recently. A small portion of the cotton planted around Xianyang was growing very well. In a few days, they would start harvesting.
In the palace, Brother Zheng held a slightly exaggerated bottle of wine with the symbol of the Nine-Five Supreme in his hand. He was drinking and discussing with a group of trusted ministers.
Li Si had been on cloud nine recently, and Brother Zheng basically praised him every day.
This was because Li Si was in charge of the crucial job of selling alcohol.
Li Si would report to Brother Zheng how much he earned every day.
Brother Zheng sat on the dragon throne. After taking a sip of wine, he said,"Everyone, the cotton that withstands the cold wave can be picked in a few days, but the planting area is very large. I'm afraid the picking speed can't be increased.”
"Everyone, feel free to speak your mind.”
When the ministers below heard the Emperor's words, they began to express their opinions.
Zhang Han was the first to speak." Your Majesty, this humble subject thinks that we can mobilize the commoners who have already finished harvesting to help harvest.”
"At the same time, make a record. When the time comes, give priority to the people who help. Or if they don't want the cotton-padded jacket, give them some hard work compensation!”
Brother Zheng nodded after hearing this. He felt that this method was feasible.
Now that many commoners had finished harvesting their crops, they were idle at home and could earn money by picking cotton. It was easy to mobilize a large number of commoners.
Wang Jian was not to be outdone either. He cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, I think that we have to train soldiers for a thousand days to use them for a moment. Picking cotton is like fighting a war. We can let a portion of the soldiers participate in picking cotton.”
"The person who picks the most will be rewarded."
After Li Si heard Wang Jian's words, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
Therefore, he said directly," Your Majesty, I think that the recruited citizens and soldiers who participate in the harvest can be divided into small teams, squadrons, and large teams. The individual who plucked the most will be rewarded, and the teams who plucked the most will also be rewarded.”
"This will stimulate their passion for picking cotton to the greatest extent.”
When Brother Zheng heard this, he was very excited.
"Alright, let's do as Li Si says. We'll pick the cotton in three days!”
