This person was tall and burly. Although the speed of the spear in his hand was not as fast as Li Cunxiao's, it was full of strength.
The two of them fought for more than a hundred rounds, but there was no winner.
Seeing Ying Ziyu come over, the two of them stopped and ran over.
"My lord, you're back."
"Yang Zaixing greets my lord."
Ying Ziyu immediately looked excited. It was indeed him. Then, he couldn't wait to check Yang Zaixing's attributes.
Battle general, Yang Zaixing!
[Strength: 100]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Friendly reminder: The system has erased all of Yang Zaixing's memories, only his talent and personality are retained!] Implant an identity as the host's hanger-on!
This shocked Ying Ziyu. He didn't expect Yang Zaixing's martial strength to be only slightly lower than Li Cunxiao's.
After chatting with the two of them for a while, Ying Ziyu went to prepare the hotpot.
......
The next day! The sun had just risen in the morning, and the officials were already waiting in front of the Town Hall.
"All officials, enter the hall!"
Following the servant's sharp shout, all the officials entered the discussion hall.
"Hey, Lord Li, do you think that's the old general Wang Jian?”
"That's right, it's Old General Wang Jian. Why is this Old General in the mood to attend the morning court today?”
"Look, isn't that Young Master Ying Ziyu? Why is he here today?”
"Did something big happen?”
"Shh…Don't make wild guesses. Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire.”
In the imposing Town Hall, Ying Ziyu casually found a spot near a pillar and sat down.
Beside him stood an official. Ying Ziyu had taken his seat, and this was how the Great Qin Morning Court sat.
"Young Master, look, His Majesty is coming. Are you..."
"Your seat is comfortable against the pillar. Why don't we switch seats?”
The official almost peed his pants when he heard that. Was this a change that could be made just like that?
"Young Master, you…Don't joke with me. I don't dare to sit in your seat.”
Seeing the terrified expression on the official's face, Ying Ziyu could only stand up unsteadily.
Then, his eyes lit up as he came to Wang Jian's side."Junior Ying Ziyu greets Old General Wang!”
Ying Ziyu was very respectful to this famous old general.
This was a living War God. Great Qin had swept through the six countries, and this old general had taken down four of them.
Wang Jian shook his head and hurriedly said," Young Master, what are you doing? You're a young master. There's no need to greet this old man."”
Although he said that, his face was already blooming with smiles.
After all, they would be a family in a while. As elders, it was fine for them to receive Ying Ziyu's bow.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A loud shout silenced the entire Town Hall. Above the hall, the First Emperor, who was wearing a black dragon robe, slowly walked over. Unlike before, the First Emperor came with a sword.
This made the officials 'hearts jump. One had to know that Emperor Shi Huang had long since stopped using his sword in court.
Now that he suddenly came to court with a sword, could something really have happened?
The officials were puzzled.
The First Emperor held the Sword of the King of Qin by his waist with one hand and came to the front of the dragon chair. He slowly sat down and looked around at the officials in the hall. Just this alone gave people a sense of oppression like a mountain.
This was power! It was the Shi that belonged to the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Ten thousand years for Your Majesty and ten thousand years for Great Qin.”
On the dragon throne, the First Emperor nodded and waved his hand.""My dear ministers, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As the officials sat down, the First Emperor said,""Dear ministers, do you have anything to report?”
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son has something to report!”Ying Ziyu respectfully stood up and spoke.
In the Town Hall, it was as quiet as an empty valley. Everyone looked at Ying Ziyu.
"Yu 'er, what's the matter?"
Qin Shi Huang stared at Ying Ziyu and felt a little puzzled. He had just informed this kid yesterday that he was going to supervise the country, and he couldn't wait to be in the limelight today?
However, after thinking about it carefully, the First Emperor denied this conjecture.
"Imperial Father, your son developed an important weapon of the country yesterday. Today, I'm here to present it to Imperial Father for him to take a look.”
When the First Emperor heard this, his expression did not change as he said,""Nation's treasure? Show it to me!"
Ying Ziyu nodded and shouted,"Bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two Embroidered Uniform Guards carried the newly forged Quyuan Plow and walked in.?
The First Emperor looked at the Quyuan Li carried by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and revealed a puzzled expression.
The current farming method used by Great Qin was the "Two Oxen Raising a Barrel" or "Two Oxen Three Husbands" farming method. When farming, the two oxen were about seven to eight feet apart, and they would raise a "bar" horizontally in the middle, which would then be plowed.
One person led the morning glory in front, while the other sat on the "bar", stepping on the plow to control the depth of the plow into the soil. A man supported the plow handle behind him.
This method of farming was time-consuming and laborious, and it was incredibly inefficient. However, there was nothing that could be done about it, because Great Qin was still using plows.
The plow was not deep, so a person had to sit on the pole and use his body weight to keep the plow from coming out of the soil.
The thing that Ying Ziyu had people carry up was quite similar to the plow, but it was also somewhat different.
However, no matter how different, wasn't it still a plow?
The First Emperor asked in a bad mood,"Is this the important weapon of the country you mentioned?"”
"Father, don't you think there's something wrong with the Great Qin's farming method?" Ying Ziyu nodded.”
"Young Master, please mind your words. The Great Qin's cultivation method has been passed down since ancient times, so how can there be a problem?”
Without waiting for Qin Shi Huang to speak, Feng Quji stood up.
"May I ask, Prime Minister, is Great Qin's current method of farming two oxen and three men?”
"Yes!" Feng Quji nodded.
"So here's the problem? It took two cows and three people to plow the land. What if a family did not have two cows and three laborers?”
Feng Quji was stunned. He didn't expect Ying Ziyu to ask this question.
After pondering for a moment, he said," There aren't two oxen that I can borrow. As for the lack of people that Young Master mentioned, this situation shouldn't exist."”
"According to statistics, every household in Great Qin has at least five to six people.”
"Are you sure, Minister Feng?" Ying Ziyu sneered.”
"This... This…"
Feng Quji was speechless; he was not sure. Ten years ago, Great Qin had fought for many years, and countless people had died in battle. Even though there were no major battles now, they had to do hard labor, so he was not sure how many families could not gather three strong laborers.
Seeing Feng Quji hesitate, Ying Ziyu said coldly,""The number of farmers in Great Qin who can satisfy the conditions of two bulls and three people is pitifully few.”
"Right now, many farmers in Great Qin don't even farm; instead, they grow crops.”
"If we don't cultivate the land and plant it directly, the yield of food will be very low. There might even be no food production at all. The people have to pay taxes, do labor, and starve. In the long run, there will definitely be a big problem.”
The officials looked at Ying Ziyu in a daze. They had thought about these problems and knew about them, but there was no way to solve them.
He couldn't possibly transfer three strong laborers and two cows to each household. This was simply unrealistic.
"Imperial Father, this is the important weapon of the country that your son spoke of, Qu Yuan Li.”
"The curved shaft plow is made up of eleven parts. This plow is much smaller than the straight shaft plow. The straight shaft has been changed to a curved shaft, and the long shaft has been changed to a short shaft.
Moreover, the head of the shaft was equipped with a plow plate that could rotate freely. This not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also made it easy to turn around and turn. It was flexible to operate and saved manpower and livestock.”
The First Emperor and the officials immediately revealed curious expressions when they heard this.
"This thing is so small. Can it be used to cultivate the land?”Feng Quji questioned.
"Of course it can be used, and the effect is excellent. Using my curved shaft plow to plow the land only requires one person and one ox to operate.”Ying Ziyu said calmly.
"What is it? A man and a cow could plow the land? Is that true?"
This time, Brother Zheng could no longer sit still. He jumped up from the dragon throne and walked to Qu Yuanli with a majestic gait.
If it was really as Ying Ziyu said, that only one person and one cow were needed to plow the land, then the use of this Quyuan Plow would be too great. It would not be an exaggeration to call it the country's most important weapon.
"Imperial Father Qu Yuanli is right in front of us, we'll know if it's real or fake.”
Ying Ziyu knew that his cheap father didn't believe him. Instead of wasting his breath, he might as well let him test it out himself.
Qin Shi Huang nodded, feeling that what Ying Ziyu said made sense.
"Alright then, zhen will give it a try. If this Qu Yuanli is really as you said, zhen will remember your great merit.”
