Chapter 361: Farming has changed, and foot artists have withdrawn from the stage of history!
Looking at Gua Fu’s almost collapsed appearance, Ying Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh.
Ying Chengxuan had been following him for a long time with the idea that the fortune teller had a stable personality, so he wanted to give the fortune teller a chance to show his face.
Unexpectedly, this face was too exposed!
The Gua Fu himself didn’t even dare to write this paragraph in his family tree!
Seeing Ying Chengxiu actually smiling, Guafu's eyes widened and he kept shouting:
Lord, save me! Help, help!
Ying Chengyu immediately stepped forward, half-kneeling on the ground and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, can this plow be used to plow the land?"
Ying Zheng knelt on the ground without the majesty of King Qin, excited. The voice was trembling: "Yes!"
"This plow is a big win!!!"
Ying Chengyu asked again: "Is this plow suitable for Brother Wang to hold it personally?"
As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng stood up immediately and laughed heartily: "This plow is not suitable for me to hold it myself."
“It is a blessing for me to be able to take charge of this plow!”
If Ying Zheng is just an ordinary king, this is indeed true.
For an ordinary king, this thing alone is enough for him to leave a few more marks in history!
The hexagram master breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped back and held his hands: "Your Majesty, please!"
Ying Zheng took the plow tip with his right hand, picked up the whip with his left hand, and lightly whipped the cattle.
The plow tried to swing from side to side, but it was tightly grasped by Ying Zheng's rough and strong hands, unable to deviate from the planned route.
Looking down at the ground under his feet being broken by plows, Ying Zheng felt more and more happy: "Color! Big color!"
"How lucky I, the Qin Dynasty, am to get this thing!"
Han Cang got down on the ground and crawled behind the plow like a strange seed. Hearing these words, he twisted his neck and raised his head, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chang'an, you are a great talent!"
"This plow is not only It can save a lot of wood, and it can also save the effort of one cow and one person. "If we get this thing, our farming in Da Qin will be prosperous!" Does it require the combined efforts of two men and one ox to cultivate this thing?”
Han Cang nodded: “That’s right!”
"Chang'an Jun is indeed a great talent. However, Chang'an Jun was born in a noble family and rarely manages farm work himself. It is common for him not to know the details of farming."
"Although this person is a great talent, it is still difficult for him to manage it alone. Do it.”
“We in Daqin mainly cultivate corn, but there are also people who cultivate other crops.”
“Different crops require different grains.” “The depth required for deep plowing and shallow plowing is also different.”
"It is obviously inappropriate to set a fixed share depth."
Han Cang looked at the plow greedily, racking his brains and said: "I thought that maybe the share of this plow could be disconnected from the whole, and the other Let one person hold it in his hand to control the depth."
Ying Chengqiu said with a smile: "I don't do much farming."
"Before developing this plow, I did. You have never farmed before!”
“Of course, I have never farmed, but all the craftsmen who help me have farmed. The plow is a big deal, and we will not ignore it.”< br>
"There is no need to be as troublesome as Han Shangqing said."
"Brother Wang, look here."
Ying Chengyu pointed at something next to the plow tip and introduced: "This The object is called a plow, with a plow arrow attached to the bottom and a plowshare attached to it. "
"If you want to adjust the depth, just move it up and down."
Ying Zheng immediately pulled it back. When the plow is started, the plow arrow will move upward, and the depth of the plowshare into the soil will become shallower.
Ying Zheng hurriedly pushed the plow forward again, and the depth of the plowshare immediately became deeper into the soil.
Looking at the color that kept getting darker and lighter with Ying Zheng’s movements, the heads of the ministers all moved up and down in unison.
Unconsciously pulling the plow, Ying Zheng murmured: "In the past, one had to sit on top of the plow to control the depth, but now it can be adjusted by just pulling it with hands?"
“The effort of one man can be saved by such a simple method!”
Even the improvement strategy proposed by Han Cang is to find someone to control the plowshare by hand.
This is also the common thinking of most people.
When you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, add another person and use manpower to make up for the shortcomings.
But Ying Chengyu only added a small mechanism, which saved another manpower for this farming method.
For a pair of plows, this saves one manpower, but there are more than hundreds of thousands of plows in Da Qin?
This one policy alone can liberate hundreds of thousands of young men for the Qin Dynasty!
The plowshare sliding up and down kept hitting Ying Zheng's worldview like a heavy hammer.
Manpower can make up for the shortcomings of craftsmanship.
Craftsmanship can also save a lot of manpower.
What is lacking most in Da Qin today?
It’s the population!
No wonder Brother Wang suddenly cared so much about craftsmanship, and even devoted himself wholeheartedly to the workshop.
For Da Qin, craftsmanship may be the perfect weapon for Da Qin to overtake other countries in the field of national power!
Han Cang knelt down excitedly, his whole body trembling: "Cai! Big color!!!"
"Your Majesty, it's more than that!"
"Chang'an Jun The plows and arrows set up are far more than just saving one man’s effort.”
"Nowadays, it is difficult for farmers to determine the depth of their land. They completely rely on the personal experience of the person who controls the land."
"If the person who controls the land is experienced and experienced, the grain yield will be abundant."
"If the person who controls the plow has little experience, the grain production will be reduced."
"But if the land is plowed with this method, the depth of the plow can be determined!"
Ying Zheng and the ministers are more concerned about This plow can replace the plows of the past, saving Da Qin a lot of oxen and manpower.
But what Han Cang values more is the significance of this set of institutions to the grain production itself. The body is not very flexible with its feet.
It takes a lot of experience to always control the plowshare in the right position with your feet.
Even experienced footworkers will have their feet sway when external factors such as bumps occur, causing the depth of the plowshare into the soil to change.
But the three-click mechanism of plowing, plowing arrow, and plowshare made Chang Shen controllable!
"The depth can be determined!" Han Cang, who was already excited, suddenly became a little more excited: "The depth can be determined, and there is a lot to be done!"
"The imperial court can also carve scales on the plow evaluation."
“Every year, the county magistrate organizes three local elders to determine the most suitable depth for various crops this year, and asks farmers to set their plows to the designated scale.”
“In this way, The fields cultivated by different farmers can all be plowed to the same, most suitable depth! "
"In this way, the grain production will flourish!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Han Cang with relief.
You are indeed my disciple!
Proposed standardized homework without any teacher!
Ying Zheng pointed directly at the crux of the problem: "What Han Shangqing means is that this plow, which only requires one person and one ox to operate, is better than the existing plows and can make our country Qin win. Higher grain yield?”
All the officials looked at Han Cang.
What has Great Qin been forced to do by food in recent years!
The situation was obviously good last year, but because of insufficient food, we had to withdraw our troops quickly.
This year, because of insufficient food, Chen Bing of Chu State did not even dare to attack.
Originally they only thought that this plow could solve the problem of insufficient manpower, but now listening to what Han Cang meant, could this plow also solve the problem of insufficient food?
Han Cang forced himself to calm down, stood up and thought deeply before saying in a deep voice: "Not bad!"
"This plow requires fewer oxen and less manpower, but the plows it plows are more conducive to farming than the current plow!"
"That's not all."
"This plow It is smaller and can turn more easily. Many plots that were previously unavailable for plowing can now be cultivated with this plow. "
"This plow does not require two oxen to run parallelly, so the distance between the fields is also small. It can be shortened, and more food can be cultivated on the same acre of land!"
Han Cang knew that he had to calm down at this time!
But he really can't calm down!
The ministers only knew that Da Qin was restricted by food, but only Han Cang knew best how bad Da Qin's food situation was.
At any time when food is needed, such as when the annual salary is paid, when the war is on the war, when food is distributed, Hancang's pressure is greater than the mountain!
Now, the emergence of such a sharp weapon has not only greatly eased the pressure on Da Qin, but also greatly reduced the pressure on Hancang!
Han Cang shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty!"
"My knowledge of this thing is limited, and I can only tell you some advantages."
"However, based on these advantages alone, even without adding more people, just replacing all the plows with this plow, Our Da Qin’s grain production will definitely increase.”
“If our Da Qin can build a large number of these plows, put all the young people into farming, and then plow the fertile fields for several years, our Da Qin’s grain production will double. Even three times is not an ambition!”
“Your Majesty!” Han Cang raised his hands and shouted excitedly: “The situation of farming will change from now on!”
“We, Da Qin, are no longer short of food! ! ! ”
Han Cang's cry echoed through the wilderness.
A ball of fire arose in the hearts of all the Qin court officials.
What is the biggest restriction that Da Qin faces now?
Talent, population and food!
But today!
Just today!
Ying Chengyu took out two craftsmanship items one after another.
Chang'an paper combined with the military academy will surely bring about an explosion of talent in Da Qin!
The plow greatly liberated the population of Great Qin and doubled its grain production!
The officials looked at Ying Chengyu with extremely fiery eyes.
Who is this great general of the world?
This is clearly the golden boy given to Da Qin by God!
Li Si and other courtiers raised their hands and shouted: "My lord, thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
"My congratulations to the great king!"
"My congratulations to the great Qin! ”
Further away, the guards were even more excited.
Unlike the courtiers, most of the guards are from common people.
They don’t understand so much truth.
They only know that this plow can allow them to harvest more food, so that they and their families can have enough to eat!
Their thoughts are very simple.
Ying Chengyu has developed a tool that can make them full of food, so Ying Chengyu is their great benefactor!
They didn’t know if they should shout, but the gratitude in their hearts drove them to kneel on the ground, shouting at the top of their lungs:
“I will thank Lord Chang’an!”
“We congratulate the great king!”
“Congratulate the great Qin!”
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and carefully felt the sincere cheers and thanks that soared into the sky.
Louder!
Let the whole world hear it!
This is the prince’s younger brother!
More than ten breaths later, Ying Zheng just opened his eyes and looked at Ying Chengyu, and said with emotion:
"How lucky I am to have the king's younger brother!"
