following day
Zhao Che woke up early and went to Old Wang and Old Zhao's place.
Old Wang and Old Zhao had just finished their breakfast when they saw Zhao Che walking over sneakily.
"Old Wang, Old Zhao." Zhao Che smiled awkwardly.
"Show you around?"
Before Brother Zheng could speak, Wang Jian's beard trembled as he said in a muffled voice,""Not allowed?"
He, the Great Qin Marquis Che, and the First Emperor of Great Qin, was actually imprisoned by an unknown kid. Do you dare to believe it?
Moreover, this kid wanted to pull the Emperor to rebel against Great Qin?
Zhao Che was a little embarrassed by Old Wang's words. He tilted his head to look at Brother Zheng, who casually picked up a book and spoke.
"What is this thing?"
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and smiled.""Paper!"
It was too troublesome to record things in a bamboo tube.
The cost of a bamboo tube was at least three coins, and it could only record two or three hundred words at most.
In ancient times, there was an idiom called the Five Carts of Learning, which referred to bamboo tubes.
Actually, it sounded exaggerated, but in fact, there were not many words in the five bamboo carts.
It was a question of whether it could have more words than the Xinhua dictionary.
In addition, Zhao Che was a modern person, so he was not used to writing on bamboo tubes. When he was researching salt production, he also researched paper.
Now, he had a chance to show off in front of Old Wang and Old Zhao.
In Zhao Che's opinion, Old Wang and Old Zhao were unwilling to rebel because they felt that he was not strong enough.
The only way Zhao Che could think of was to display his strength.
As a modern person without any background.
There was only one way for him to display his strength.
He used what he had that others did not have to make Old Wang and Old Zhao look askance.
It was commonly known as posturing!
"This thing costs about five yuan per book.”Zhao Che only mentioned the cost.
He believed that with Old Zhao and Old Wang's talent, they naturally knew what this meant.
Brother Zheng raised his eyebrows.
The book in his hand was the common Analects of Confucius. With the annotations and other miscellaneous things, it added up to more than 10,000 words.
If it was a bamboo tube, the cost of a book of the Analects of Confucius would be a few hundred yuan.
The book in his hand was more convenient to read. It was light and small, but it only cost five yuan.
"Interesting." Brother Zheng smiled and put the book back.
Brother Zheng had seen the paper books yesterday, but he didn't care.
It was just like how you treated an ancient person to roasted sweet potatoes.
Ancient people would only think that the taste was not bad.
However, if you told him that the sweet potato yield per mu was 2,000 catties, he would be like a Spartan on the spot.
The same principle applied to paper.
When he didn't know the cost, Brother Zheng thought that paper was a new writing tool.
Only by knowing the cost of the production could one see the meaning behind it.
In the past, the cost of making books with bamboo tubes was high.
It also meant that knowledge was expensive.
The appearance of paper books meant that knowledge was not so expensive.
Of course, the bumpkins still had no education.
However, those poor families at least had the opportunity to study.
"In that case, let's go out and take a walk!”Brother Zheng was right.
This kid really had something good to hide!
Zhao Che saw Old Zhao nod and looked at Old Wang. Old Wang didn't say anything and just nodded.
"There's no need to be so formal, brothers. It's like coming home. I'll show you around first.”
Zhao Che then led Old Wang and Old Zhao towards Dongbin's farmland.
Not long after, a large piece of fertile farmland appeared in front of Brother Zheng and Wang Jian.
There were still farmers working hard in the fields.
A man and a cow, the scene was exceptionally harmonious.
Brother Zheng looked at it and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why was it a man and a cow?
Although Brother Zheng was not a farmer, he knew what farming was like in this era.
The Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty used the method of two oxen bickering to cultivate the land.
When farming, the two oxen were about seven or eight feet apart, with a "bar" in the middle, which was connected to the shaft plow. One man led the morning glory in front, while the other sat on the "bar", stepping on the shaft plow to control the depth of the plow into the soil. A man supported the plow handle behind him.
This was due to the use of the straight shaft plow in this era.
Straight-shaft plows ate shallow soil and were not good at bearing force, making it especially difficult to cultivate.
Normally, it would require at least two oxen and three people to control it.
Therefore, they were also known as two bulls and three husbands!
And because of this, three people could have the ability to farm independently, so there was an idiom in ancient times called a family of three.
A family of three would have the ability to farm independently and be self-sufficient.
Brother Zheng was keenly aware that it was different. He saw a cow and a man. The ploughing looked especially easy.
The most important thing was that although no one was standing on the plow, it looked like they were digging very deep into the soil.
"This is…"
Zhao Che grinned!
"I call it the Quyuan Li!"
The plows of the Qin and Han Dynasties mainly used straight shafts. As the name implied, the plow hook, which was also the shaft, was straight.
It was stuck straight into the soil, so it was easy to bounce out when it encountered obstacles.
As the name suggested, the shaft of the curved shaft plow was bent, like a fish hook hooked to the ground. Therefore, unless it encountered something as hard as stone, it was very difficult to get out of the ground.
Wang Jian was a little dazed when he heard this. He didn't understand this stuff, so he didn't say much.
But looking at His Majesty's expression, Wang Jian also knew that this brat had good stuff again!
