After being reminded by Meng Tian, Ying Zheng also glanced at the farmers on the field and said,
His eyes were filled with doubt.
Although he was not a farmer, he had been governing the country for many years.
He naturally knew about the farming situation of the Great Qin Empire.
Now, when Great Qin's farmers were farming,
Basically, they used the method of two oxen bickering to plow the fields.
Because the curved shaft plow had not been invented yet.
At this time, they were using straight shaft plows, which required two oxen to pull.
In this era, when farmers plowed the fields, they had to drive two oxen.
There was a wooden plank on the necks of the two oxen, and the wooden plank was plowing and harrowing.
When plowing the fields, let a person sit on a horizontal log and control the plow.
One person was driving two oxen to steer the direction.
One of them had to hold the plow to prevent missing the target.
With this,
When Great Qin's residents plowed the fields, they needed at least three people and two oxen to do so.
However, the villagers in this village only needed one person and one cow.
With that, he would be able to farm with ease.
Moreover, looking at the scene, the farmers used this method to plow the fields.
The efficiency of plowing had also greatly increased.
"Chieftain He, I didn't expect your farmer to be able to plow the fields alone with just one person and one cow.
This is amazing!"
Immediately, a shocked expression appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he exclaimed loudly.
The sharp-eyed Ying Zheng noticed the difference between these harrows and the others, and asked in puzzlement,"
"Stronghold Chieftain He, the plows and harrows used by these farmers are so strange. What are they called?”
He Chao didn't expect that the curved plow he invented would shock the two of them again.
He immediately said proudly,
"Haha, that's the Curved Plow I invented.”
"Qu Yuanli?"
"He Chao invented it again?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's sharp eyes swept over the plow of a farmer not far away.
He instantly fell into deep thought.
The straight shaft plow used in this era, because of its straight shape,
When the plow moved forward, no matter how hard the person controlling the plow used,
If the plow encountered any obstacles in the soil, it would immediately bounce out.
The efficiency of farming was extremely low.
And after a short investigation, Ying Zheng had discovered the advantage of this curved shaft plow.
Because of the curved shape of the curved shaft plow,
Not only could it easily turn over the soil,
Moreover, the hook was like an iron hook that would not easily bounce out of the soil.
The efficiency was worlds apart from that of a straight beam plow.
In this way, using the curved shaft plow to plow the fields not only saved a lot of manpower,
Moreover, the efficiency and time of plowing had been greatly improved.
This was a huge advantage when it came to farming.
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
He looked at He Chao with a burning gaze and said,
"Stronghold Chieftain He, this Qu Yuanli of yours is truly amazing!”
"If it spreads throughout Great Qin, that would be a great merit!”
Meng Tian agreed with him and nodded at He Chao with admiration.
When Ying Shiman heard this, she was a little confused. She didn't understand this.
However, seeing her father praise He Chao again, she was also very happy.
Hearing Ying Zheng's praise, He Chao did not feel smug. He waved his hand and said,"
"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as you say.
This Qu Yuan Li is nothing compared to the sweet potatoes I mentioned.”
"Let's go. I'll take you to see the sweet potatoes and potatoes.”
After saying that, He Chao waved at Ying Zheng and the others, then continued walking forward.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and the others were excited again, and immediately followed behind.
Soon, they arrived at a huge field.
He Chao stood on the ridge and pointed at the green sweet potato field not far away.
"Old Qin, Old Meng, look, this is the sweet potato I told you about!”
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian immediately looked in the direction He Chao was pointing at.
The two of them looked at the endless, green sweet potato vines.
The sweet potato vines were growing very well.
However, the smooth vines swayed in the wind, but no fruit grew.
Meng Tian's naked sweet potato sprout looked shocked.
Then, he looked at He Chao with a puzzled expression and asked,
"Chieftain He, you said that the sweet potatoes are at least 60 dan per mu. Why can't I see a single sweet potato?”
"That's right, Chief He.
You just said that the sweet potatoes can produce at least 60 dan per mu. Are you kidding us?”
Ying Zheng had come in with excitement.
However, when he saw the smooth sweet potato seedlings, his heart instantly turned cold.
Hearing their doubts, He Chao sneered,"
"Hehe, you two don't understand, so don't talk nonsense.”
"The fruit of my sweet potato isn't on the vines at all. It grows underground.”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were speechless, and their faces were filled with embarrassment.
They did not expect the sweet potato to grow underground.
They even said that they couldn't see the fruit. It was really embarrassing.
Although Ying Zheng looked embarrassed, he said,
However, he still pretended to be in disbelief and asked,
"Really?"
"I've lived for decades, but I've never heard of a fruit with food growing underground!”
Meng Tian and Ying Shiman also agreed and nodded.
