"So the village chief wants to support the business?”
"That's right. Think about it. If a farmer has two sons, he gives the land to the eldest son and then gives the second son a sum of money to go into business. This way, the land tax won't be reduced, and the imperial court can also get an additional business tax.”
They all understood this logic, but…。。
"Village Chief Jian Heng, have you ever thought that the time of sowing and harvesting every day is fixed? If there is only one person doing it, it may delay the good time. In the words of Peach Blossom Village, the workload is too big.”
Jian Heng subconsciously rolled his eyes and said,""If we encounter this problem, then solve it. Since we can't solve it with manpower, then we'll think of using tools.”
"Tools? Those things were just some strange skills.。。。。”
"What tricks? Old Li, I realized that you're here to be scolded today.。。。。”
Jian Heng rolled his eyes and said to Li Fa. It turned out that he had wasted his time studying at the Peach Blossom Village school.
Li Si's face was also flushed red. As the Left Prime Minister of Great Qin, when had he ever been pointed at and scolded like this except for Ying Zheng?
The most infuriating thing was that he didn't dare to retort when he was scolded. Didn't he see Brother Zheng's thoughtful look?
If he really talked back to Jian Heng, wouldn't he be provoking Ying Zheng?
"Let me tell you, tools are not the so-called exotic skills, but one of the important factors that truly promote social development. For example, if they did not have high-quality equipment and heavy crossbows that could kill enemies from 300 steps away, would Great Qin's army be able to beat the Xiongnu people to tears?”
Speaking of the war, Li Si and Ying Zheng turned to look at Meng Tian. This guy had been fighting with the Xiongnu all year round, so he had the most say.
Meng Tian seemed to have been assimilated by Jian Heng as well. After hearing Jian Heng's question, she started cursing.
"What can we do? Great Qin doesn't have many Cavalry to begin with, and without those high-quality weapons, we can only fight the Xiongnu 60 - 40. We have six, and they have four."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tian seemed to have realized who was sitting beside him. She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Ying Zheng and the other man apologetically.
"Look, this is because the old Qin people are strong in combat. If it were the armies of other countries, it would be good enough if they could fight with the Xiongnu at a 30 - 70 ratio. Of course, the cavalrymen of the Zhao Country were an exception.”
Looking at the three people who were deep in thought, Jian Heng felt that he had to strike while the iron was hot and explain the importance of this tool to them. Although it seemed that it wouldn't change anything to talk to these three people who had no status, it was still better to save as many lost sheep as he could.
" We are stronger than those wild beasts in that we can think independently and use tools. If we don't have enough manpower, we can make up for it with tools. For example, although we can't run like horses, we have made carriages. For example, in our village, I invented the curved shaft plow so that one person and one cow can easily plow the land. In terms of sowing, I invented the hearse a year ago. It can allow a person to work with a cow to sow an acre a day. Now you dare to say that the tools are useless?”
"One man and one cow plowing the land? Sowing a field a day? How is this possible?"
Although Peach Blossom Village was full of things that were beyond his common sense, he still didn't think that there was such a convenient thing in Peach Blossom Village.
"I've said so much but it's all empty talk. I'll bring you to take a look tomorrow.”
As soon as they talked about tomorrow, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of asking Meng Tian to go out, so he said to Jian Heng,""Village Chief Jian Heng, it has been more than a month since I fell into the canyon and came to Peach Blossom Village. In order to prevent my family from worrying, I want Meng Shi to leave the village to report to my family that I'm safe.”
"Oh, of course. This place is not a bandit den. You can come in but not out. Meng Shiming can just go back the way he came.”
While they were chatting, the kebab skewers were also done. Ying Zheng and the others also picked up the kebab skewers and began to eat.
"This barbecue is similar to our daily 'roasted meat', but why does it taste so different?”
After the kebabs were roasted, the curious Ying Zheng picked up a kebab and tasted it. His taste buds were immediately conquered by the spicy taste of the kebab.
"There's a hint of spiciness in the fragrance, and a hint of saltiness in the spiciness. Most importantly, this meat doesn't have the smell of mutton at all. It's really a delicacy.”
The five of them began to eat and drink with each other. Previously, there had always been four of them together. Today, there was an additional Zhao Yun. After all, she was moving tools and lighting fires. After working for such a long time, she had to be fed.
"Zilong, can we discuss something?”
Meng Tian, who was obviously drunk, said to Zhao Yun. Tonight could be said to be his last night in Peach Blossom Village. Although Ying Zheng only asked him to deliver a letter, he knew that he would go straight to the border after delivering the letter.
This was also the second important task that Ying Zheng had Meng Tian send out to deliver the letter. Even without Ying Zheng and Li Si in Xianyang, Fu Su and Wang Wan could still temporarily take over the political affairs. But without Meng Tian at the border, Meng Yi alone would not be able to hold the fort.
Therefore, he wanted to fulfill a wish before he left.
"Big Brother Meng, can you just say it?"
"I see that Brother Zilong is also a martial artist. I want to have a spar with Brother Zilong.”
