After witnessing the efficient harvesting of wheat by the crop harvesting machine, Ying Zheng and Li Si went up to have a look.
He realized that the entire process was very easy, except for the fact that it took a little effort to wind it up.
They only needed to turn the steering wheel properly and wind up the machine when it stopped. What should have been a day's work had been completed in less than four hours.
After personally testing it, no matter how shocking it was, they had no choice but to believe the facts in front of them.
After they were done, the two brothers sat on the ground in the sky without caring about their image at all. They stared blankly at the crop tractor that was parked there.
"How is it? Do you still doubt my words?"
Jian Heng walked in front of them with two jugs of water.
Ying Zheng and Li Si smiled bitterly as they took the water and began to gulp it down.
"I didn't believe that a tool could do this, but now.。。。”
"You don't have to be too surprised. Although this thing looks shocking, it's actually of little value. It's tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away.”
"How can such a shocking thing be of little value?”
Just now, Ying Zheng and Li Si had both tried out the machine. In their eyes, this machine could at least release tens of thousands of labor force.
Why did it become chicken ribs in Jian Heng's mouth?
"You only saw the convenience of this crop harvesting machine, but you didn't see anything else. In terms of cost, this crop harvesting machine can train 1,000 soldiers. Moreover, it took us a year to invent and manufacture it. If we were to build another one, it would take at least half a year.”
Hearing Jian Heng's words, Ying Zheng and Li Si immediately felt that this farming machine was no longer as good as before.
"Since it is so laborious, why does Village Chief still want it?。。。”
Li Si could not understand. He had spent so much time and paid such a huge price, yet in the end, he had only made something that could not be mass-produced.
If they could not mass produce it, it meant that they could not be popularized.
In other words, this thing could only be used as a mascot. It had no practical use.
" You scholars really value immediate benefits too much. You don't care about long-term considerations. This thing is indeed useless now, but it will be the same in the future without a watch. In my generation, I can try to improve it and find ways to reduce costs and manufacturing time. Even if it fails in my generation, it will leave valuable experience for the next generation, so that the next generation can take a lot of detours. Maybe the next generation would succeed?”
"However, it is also possible that it will take several generations to succeed.。。。。”
Li Si was Great Qin's Prime Minister, and he felt that it was better to think of ways to improve the people's lives than to spend too much energy on these things.
" So be it. If 100 years doesn't work, then 200 years. If 200 years doesn't work, then 300 years. One day, they will succeed. For example, you should know Great Qin's Left Prime Minister, Li Si.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately looked at Li Si with a smile.
Li Si was a little flustered by Ying Zheng's stare, and replied awkwardly,"
"As a citizen of Qin, I have naturally heard of it."
" Li Si has a senior brother, Han Fei, the Ninth Young Master of Han. Han Fei is very talented. Even Brother Zheng has invited Han Fei to work for him several times.”
Ying Zheng was already used to Jian Heng's ability to know everything in the world without going out. They were just wondering why Jian Heng suddenly mentioned Han Fei. Wasn't he talking about the crop grinder?
" Li Si, as the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, is undoubtedly more successful than Han Fei, but in terms of fame in Legalism, Han Fei is much more famous than Li Si. Have you ever wondered why?”
This sentence hit Li Si's heart. This was also the question he had been wondering about.
"Village Chief, please enlighten me!" Li Si's expression turned serious. This question had been bothering him for many years, and he desperately wanted to know why.
In terms of talent, he was not inferior to Li Si. In terms of achievements, he assisted Ying Zheng in unifying the six countries and establishing a country ruled by law. However, Han Country, where Han Fei was located, had become a thing of the past.
Then why was he still not as famous as Han Fei?
" It's actually very simple. Because Han Fei is the pioneer and Li Si is the successor.”
"Pioneers? Successor?"
Li Si was a little confused. Just the difference in status caused such a huge difference in their reputations?
" Han Fei's theory is based on the inheritance of the original Legalism, while Li Si's theory is based on the integration of the legalism of the past dynasties. This is the difference between the two. Mencius was also very famous, but was he as famous as Confucius? Whether it was skills or knowledge, it was not something that could be learned simply. It was something that had to be created on top of what was already there. The teacher imparted knowledge to the student not to make the student become a second teacher, but to make the student surpass him.”
This simple sentence made both Li Si and Ying Zheng freeze on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning.
