Just as Wang Jian thought, this Qu Yuan Li was really a good thing.
Compared to the previous farming method of two oxen and three men, the curved shaft plow only needed one person and one ox to operate.
It saved more than half of the manpower.
Brother Zheng could also tell.
Not only did it save manpower, but it also saved energy.
It also saved time.
That's right, compared to the straight shaft plow, the farming speed of the curved shaft plow was also greatly increased.
Zhao Che had also calculated before. With the same number of people and the same number of oxen, the speed of the curved shaft plow was basically three times that of the straight shaft plow.
And Brother Zheng could naturally tell.
"This is good stuff!" Brother Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.
If Qu Yuanli's farming method of one person and one cow could be spread across Great Qin, it would at least save twice the amount of manpower and resources.
Compared to the previous paper, it was obvious that Brother Zheng valued Qu Yuanli more.
After all, Great Qin was a small-scale farming society and relied on food.
Great Qin's emphasis on agriculture could be ranked among the highest in history.
If you did a good job in farming, you would be rewarded and even be conferred a title.
However, if you were lazy and caused the land to be abandoned, the land would be taken back at the very least, and you would be imprisoned at the very worst.
Compared to the other dynasties, the Qin Dynasty's system was very advanced.
For example, in terms of land.
During the Qin Dynasty, the land belonged to the state.
On the other hand, cultivators only had the right to cultivate and did not have the right to buy or sell land. This could prevent land annexation.
The replacement of the enfeoffment system by the prefecture system also meant that the rights of the aristocrats were greatly curbed.
After the Qin Dynasty, most of the systems were inherited from the Qin Dynasty.
There were only two places that he did not inherit.
One was the enfeoffment system, and the other was the land problem.
After the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty.
The aristocrats had completed their transformation through their foundation and capital, becoming aristocratic families. The land issue was obviously a compromise that Han Gaozu had made to the aristocrats in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty solved the problem of the aristocrats being too powerful through the Decree of Grace. However, the aristocrats signed up for a group for warmth and completed the transformation from aristocrats to aristocratic families. No one solved the problem of land annexation.
The Qin Dynasty placed the most importance on agriculture.
It could be said that Great Qin did not compromise on agriculture at all.
Killing cows was illegal in the Qin Dynasty.
In ancient times, it was illegal to kill cattle, but this law was basically useless to the nobles.
But in the Qin Dynasty, it was close to zero tolerance.
Every cow had a record. If you didn't take good care of the cow and it got sick, you would be fined. If your problem caused the cow to die in an accident, you would be locked up.
It could be said that the importance the Qin Dynasty placed on agriculture had almost reached a morbid level.
Obviously, Brother Zheng was the one who carried out all of this.
Therefore, towards Qu Yuanli, Brother Zheng rarely showed any admiration!
With the Quyuan Plow, they could save a lot of manpower, and the manpower they saved could be used to open up wasteland, increasing Great Qin's cultivable land!
"Who made this?"
Although Zhao Che had a disloyal heart, this curved shaft plow should be made by a craftsman.
In Brother Zheng's heart, the importance of the Quyuan Plow was self-evident. As long as the craftsman who invented the Quyuan Plow did not participate in the rebellion, Brother Zheng did not intend to be too harsh.
Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and smiled.""Merely untalented, it's me."
Brother Zheng was speechless.
Zhao Che didn't realize what Brother Zheng was thinking. Just as he was about to continue to show off, there was a sudden commotion in the farmland.
"Not good, the cattle have gone crazy!"
Zhao Che focused his gaze and saw a few cattle running wildly. A few farmers had already been knocked down to the ground. Not only that, but these cattle had also driven the surrounding cattle crazy.
"Quickly dodge!"
Zhao Che roared and rushed down.
One thing was true in ancient times. Cattle were the main labor force for farming.
Although Zhao Che was greedy, he wouldn't kill a cow for meat.
These cattle were precious assets!
If it wasn't necessary, Zhao Che naturally didn't want these cattle to die.
However, if they let these cows go crazy and trample on the fertile land, it would be fine. There were farmers around, and it was very likely that they would lose their lives!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Zhao Ye gritted his teeth and rushed toward the crazy cattle in the farmland.
"Manor Lord, be careful! Protect the Manor Lord!"
A few farmers saw this and panicked, wanting to stop Zhao Che.
What a joke, that was a cow!
People would die if they bumped into them!
Zhao Che pushed the farmer in front of him away and muttered.
"Motherf * cker, a cow is worth ten strings of coins, but it's worthless if it dies!”
After Zhao Che said that, he quickly grabbed the reins of an ox. After pausing for a moment, no matter how much strength the ox exerted, Zhao Che did not move at all.
" You pulled it???"
Wang Jian was naturally paying attention to this scene as well. He watched as Zhao Che pulled the crazy ox back.
Not only that, Zhao Che walked step by step, and the cattle were actually being pulled backwards.
"Ten strings!"
"Twenty strings!"
"Thirty strings!"
Zhao Che pulled a few more!
Step by step, other than grunting a few times, no matter how hard they tried, it was useless!
"One head, two heads, three heads, nine heads!"
Wang Jian looked at Zhao Che, who was in the farmland. Zhao Che was holding onto the reins in his hand. After the nine oxen struggled for a while, they regained their composure.
"Hiss! Nine Bulls!"
Wang Jian sucked in a breath of cold air!
"This kid is really a good seedling for the army!!”
(In ancient times, cattle were a scarce resource, so they couldn't be simply calculated by their price.) Moreover, ten strings of coins was not a small amount!）
