If the efficiency could really be increased by five times, even if the tax revenue remained unchanged, he believed that the common people would be willing to farm.
"Lan 'er, it's okay. You sprained your ankle and just lie down. Can you show that blueprint to Imperial Father?”Ying Zheng said in a negotiating tone.
The Qi clan and the others were stunned. They never thought that the high and mighty Qin Shi Huang would have a coaxing side.
"Imperial Father, it's not that I don't want to give it to you.”Ying Lan revealed a difficult expression.
Tsk, if you haven't come to see my mother once in 800 years, you're not a qualified husband at all, let alone a qualified father. Why should you ask me to help you?
Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The more Ying Lan behaved like this, the more he was certain that the Wind-powered Waterwheel and the Curved Plow would be effective. Even if it was not five times more effective, it would still be a blessing for the people of Great Qin.
"Ahem, Consort Qi, look at this child. Sigh, I am usually busy every day and have no time to care about the feelings of you and your son. When I read the memorials, I am often busy until late at night. Even if I am not feeling well, I still have to endure it. If there is a chance, I hope to be like Lan 'er and lie down. However, when I think of the people of Great Qin and the lessons of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, how can I dare to stop?!”Ying Zheng let out a long sigh. The bearing of worrying about the country and the people was truly moving.
"Great Qin is blessed to have His Majesty.”These touching words made Madam Qi wipe her tears.
Damn it, is Chief Zheng controlling my temper? If he dares to use force, I will lead the Nether Army and the Dark Shadow Kill Organization to rebel. In any case, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed by the second generation. It will be a matter of time.
Ying Zheng's heart trembled.'No way, my Great Qin is gone in the second generation?' He directly ignored the contents in the middle.
Why did Ying Lan say it so confidently? Was he a prophet or was it a fantasy?
"Lan 'er, as the prince of Great Qin, you should consider the interests of the people. If you can really promote the development of agriculture, you will be a great hero. You will be promoted to a higher position and be recorded in history!”Ying Zheng guided her patiently.
"Alright, alright. I really can't stand you.”Ying Lan shrugged her shoulders and stood up. She swaggered to a cabinet and took out the blueprint.
Ying Zheng's face darkened slightly as he glared at Lady Qi. The latter felt a chill down her spine. Just now, when she saw Ying Lan lying still, she could only find an excuse. But now, Ying Lan was still alive and kicking. Wasn't that a slap to her face?
This silly son. He could have just asked her to get the blueprints, but he insisted on getting up himself. His tone was so impatient.
Once the blueprint was unreliable, the consequences for the mother and son would be unimaginable.
Ying Lan casually handed over the blueprints. Ying Zheng took a glance at them, and his interest was immediately piqued. He had some understanding of farming, and these two were new mechanical things. He could not understand them at first, but Ying Lan had marked out many details.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ying Zheng was all smiles, wishing he could get someone to make it immediately.
"Your Majesty, is it really useful?" Consort Qi heaved a sigh of relief. She did not expect her son, who had nothing to do all day, to be so talented.
"Yes, these two devices can greatly increase the efficiency of farming. When used together, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort! We estimate that the efficiency will increase by at least four to five times. Great Qin's people are in luck!”Ying Zheng was so excited that he was incoherent.
As long as the people had enough to eat and lived in peace and contentment, no one would want to rebel. On the contrary, if they could not even eat, why would they care about the country?
[I'm dying of laughter. Look at how useless Master Zheng is. If he knows that I still have two thousand catties of super wheat and more than one thousand catties of corn per mu, won't he kneel down and beg me?]
Gah.
Ying Zheng was stunned. If he had not seen the blueprint, he would have thought that Ying Lan's brain was damaged. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that Ying Lan's inner thoughts were not just an idiotic guess.
Two thousand catties of wheat and a thousand catties of corn. No, what was this corn?
"Lan 'er, I didn't expect you to be so talented. You don't usually step out of your house, but these two farming tools can benefit the people of Great Qin.”Ying Zheng did not hide his praise. Luckily, he did not act impulsively just now and almost dragged Ying Lan out to be flogged a hundred times.
Perhaps with his temper, he would not hand over the blueprint.
Compared to those spineless ministers, Ying Zheng saw a rare and precious courage in his son Ying Lan.
"Imperial Father is too kind. In the end, Imperial Father is still considerate of the people. After all, it is impossible for the royal family to starve. However, the people are different. Imperial Father treats the people so well. This is the performance of a wise ruler.”Ying Lan waved her hand and pushed the credit to Qin Shi Huang.
The Emperor was stunned when he heard the words " the monarch is like a boat, and the people are like water." He had been talking to Prime Minister Li Si many times and had been thinking about it. However, there was no definite explanation for the relationship between the monarch and the people.
Ying Lan's unintentional words had reminded him. However, it seemed like Ying Lan had intentionally left out the second half of the sentence,'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it'.
Ying Zheng did not like to hear the second half of the sentence. In his heart, there were some ideas that were deeply rooted in his mind. The common people were like ants and mayflies, unable to shake his position as emperor.
