Xianyang, the emperor's bedroom.
"What is Zhen Dao? So it is a plow?”
Looking at the Quyuan Li carried over by a few soldiers, Ying Zheng asked,""Isn't this plow sent by Old General Wang too small?”
Ying Zheng was not the kind of emperor who would not eat meat, so he naturally knew about the cultivation of farmland.
A plow used for farming required two oxen to pull it. In comparison, this curved shaft plow was much smaller.
"Your Majesty, this plow only needs one person and one ox to control it. Moreover, this plow eats as much soil as a straight plow!”
The soldier answered respectfully. Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Qu Yuanli.
"This is the new grain cultivated today. Zhao Ye changed it when he saw Zhiyuan. Marquis Che used it personally. It is indeed enough for one person and one cow, which can greatly save manpower.”
Another soldier reported.
At the mention of Zhao Ye's name, Brother Zheng's mind actually surfaced with Zhao Ye's tacky face.
"Zhao Ye again?"
This Zhao Ye came back and got a lot of things for him.
World map, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and potatoes were still being planted, and now they had the curved plow.
Moreover, according to the soldiers, Qu Yuanli and Wang Jian had personally verified that one man and one ox would do.
One had to know that the usual plows required two oxen to argue and three people to control.
This was also the origin of the term family of three.
In ancient times, most people had many sons and daughters. It was rare to see a family of three.
The reason why it was called a family of three was because when farming, it required a family of three to control it.
Because a straight shaft plow required three people to operate, if Great Qin's harvesting season was busy, a family of three could avoid being harvested.
In general, a small straight shaft plow had a great impact.
Only the three of them could control them. Therefore, a lonely family needed the help of the government or their fellow countrymen.
It also caused the busy farming season to not be able to recruit families with only three people.
It also resulted in the people's limited farming power and food production capacity. They rarely saved food. Once they encountered a famine, it would be a big problem for survival.
"In that case, this curved shaft plow can save twice the manpower.”
Brother Zheng calculated.
Since Qu Yuanli and Wang Jian had personally tried it, Brother Zheng naturally did not suspect him.
Towards Wang Jian, Brother Zheng's trust had long surpassed that of ordinary officials.
This was still due to Wang Jian's understanding of the times and his shrewd way of dealing with the world.
Why did Wang Jian repeatedly urge Qin Shihuang not to forget his wealth and beauties on the road to exterminating Chu?
Wang Jian was telling Ying Zheng that if he won the war, he should pay more money and give less official titles.
With Baiqi's death, even Wang Jian had to be careful.
Therefore, after destroying Chu, Wang Jian chose to hand over his military power and retreat.
The First Emperor had not let Wang Jian down, and Wang Jian had become the person with the highest rank in Great Qin.
Chehou!
Therefore, Ying Zheng trusted Wang Jian very much.
"Zhao Ye!"
Ying Zheng gently knocked on the table, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
"This kid has made me feel at ease. He has solved my big problem.”
Now, although the Great Qin had unified the six dynasties, it had to appease the survivors of the six dynasties and build the Great Wall, leaving the treasury empty. This Quyuanli could be said to be a dew after a long drought, which had greatly solved Ying Zheng's problem.
With the curved shaft plow, more people could be freed up, and the commoners could have more gains.
"If these potatoes and sweet potatoes can produce 700 catties per mu,"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said," Forget it, five hundred catties is an auspicious sign from the heavens!”
After saying that, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Although Ying Zheng had only met Zhao Ye a few times, he was still very fond of him, whether it was in terms of speech or flattery.
Moreover, it was on Zhao Ye. Ying Zheng felt a sense of familiarity, something that the other officials could not feel.
Therefore, Ying Zheng paid more attention to Zhao Ye.
A thousand catties per mu was, after all, food from overseas.
Ying Zheng had also heard of the story of Huainan becoming orange and Huaibei becoming trigonia.
It was not acceptable to produce 500 catties per mu. As long as it was 500 catties, it was an auspicious sign from the heavens.
"I just hope that you won't lie to me!"
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly turned sharp and sharp again.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly smiled.
"Zhen has already fallen for this kid's trick!”
Ying Zheng recalled the tragic scene of him swallowing a mouthful of chili that night, when his fate was in his hands.
However, chilies were not poisonous, and he could only blame himself for swallowing so many of them in one gulp. Moreover, Zhao Ye was planting sweet potatoes, so it was not convenient for Ying Zheng to punish this kid for the time being.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng also had the intention to go over and take a look.
However, after glancing at the pile of official documents on the table, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He put away his fat belly, picked up the brush, and continued to read.
After a long time, the Ancestral Dragon raised his head and called out to Zhao Gao, who was waiting beside him.
"Let's enter Old General Wang's residence to take a look. If Old General Wang is free, I'll invite Old General Wang into the palace.”
