Chapter 84: The Quyuan Plow, an Artifact for Farming
"So when will it be needed over there?" Feng Quji asked.
He couldn't wait, because these agricultural tools and the Huns' strategies would affect the interests of the nobles.
He was afraid that if Li Si and the others stayed with Qin An for a while, the interests of the honorable nobles would be damaged even more.
Without the support of nobles and nobles, Feng Jiabi will decline.
Li Si shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision on this. You should ask His Majesty."
"It's turning, the cattle have turned, and the plow has followed suit." Wang Qi suddenly shouted loudly.
Not only him, but the surrounding people and all the officials exclaimed, how is this possible? Can't the plow have to move forward?
Every time after plowing a row, they had to waste time and effort to turn the plow around and plow the land again, but the scene that appeared now completely broke their common sense.
Next to Zhang Liang, the farmer's boy looked at the cattle not far away in shock. It turned around, the cattle turned around, and the plow also turned around.
Incredible, incredible, this plow can actually change direction.
"Why? Why let Ying Zheng get such a plow?" Zhang Liang was roaring in his heart.
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand why such a violent Qin was so favored by God.
The elder farmer next to him noticed something was wrong with Zhang Liang's expression and said, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you? Isn't it a great thing for the people to have such a plow?"
Zhang Liang came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it is indeed a blessing for the people to be able to plow the plow, but this has once again stabilized the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the people?"
The eldest brother of the farmer frowned slightly. He really didn't like Bao Qin very much. He only followed Legalism, leaving other schools weaker than Legalism.
But this plow has indeed brought great benefits to the people, so it is difficult for him to answer Zhang Liang's words.
He could only continue to look at the plow.
The people who were watching all started talking. They didn't believe what was happening in their eyes, but it was really happening in front of them. This land was a wasteland, there was only one person, there was only one plow, and there was only one ox. ox.
Just like this, one person, one ox and one plow, one row of land has been plowed, and now it is the second row.
The speed was far beyond their imagination.
"Quiet, please be quiet." Li Si shouted at this time, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
How could the people dare to speak out when the prime minister spoke? Da Qin's laws were very strict.
After the scene became quiet, Li Si said loudly: "Dear citizens of Qin, this plow is called a Quyuan plow. One person and one ox can plow the land. At least eight acres of land can be plowed in a day."
"What?"
"What did the Prime Minister say?"
"Eight acres of land, is this possible?"
"Is there something wrong with my ears, am I hearing hallucinations?"
"..."
There was an uproar. They were so shocked by Li Si's words that they completely forgot about silence and the laws of Qin.
Ying Zheng on the side looked at the reaction of the people and smiled slightly. What I want is your disbelief, but you have to believe it.
This feeling gave Ying Zheng a sense of control over everything. He was the First Emperor and originally controlled everything, but after his death, it was different from what he thought, making him lose that feeling of control.
Li Si understood the people's surprise very well, so he did not blame them, but waited for them to finish their discussion.
The discussion quickly quieted down, and the people quickly realized that Prime Minister Li Si was still talking.
With the first person's reminder, one after another people reminded the people around them to be quiet.
All of a sudden, the scene was quiet again.
Seeing this, Li Si smiled slightly. The people's consciousness was still very high. It was not like what Qin An said. The people wished that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed.
Li Si didn't know that the people's tranquility was precisely because they were afraid of the court's laws and Li Si. They were afraid that if they violated the laws, they would be sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall.
"Fellow people, I know you are surprised that eight acres of land are plowed in one day. This is something that has never been thought of before.
But now we can do it, thanks to our First Emperor, who is willing to pass on the curved shaft plow and those agricultural tools to everyone in the world.
Before long, the imperial court will spread the design drawings of Quyuan plow and other farm tools to every Junxian in Daqin, and then every village, so that everyone can make them themselves or find a place to buy them.
In addition, this curved shaft plow can also be pulled by human power, and can cultivate three acres of land in one day. "Li Si said slowly.
The people were already shocked by Li Si's words and were unable to react.
In order to verify his words, Li Si asked the soldiers in the field to stop plowing the fields, pull up the oxen, and then sent another soldier to pull the plow.
Soon the scene of oxen pulling the plow changed to the scene of people pulling the plow.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Two people could plow the land with one plow. Although the speed was not fast, it was two people plowing with one plow.
If I had known, it would take at least four or five people to cultivate the land now, and the speed is not much faster than this.
An artifact, this plow is an artifact, an artifact of the Qin Dynasty, and an artifact of the people.
"Brother, am I dazzled? Why do I see people pulling the plow now?" said the farmer.
For this reason, he rubbed his eyes, and all he saw was people pulling the plow.
The eldest farmer said: "Yes, it is indeed people pulling the plow. Brother, let's go back. We already know the reason why the imperial court asked the grain output to increase several times. There is no need to stay any longer."
"Okay." The farmer boy responded.
Then the two men from the farmer's family jumped down from the tree and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang immediately jumped down from the tree and quickly chased after him.
"Brothers, how about I invite you two to have a drink?"
"Not interested." The farmer boy said, "We are very busy."
"Don't be rude." The farmer's brother scolded him quickly, "How will people view the farmer if you are so rude?"
The farm boy snorted coldly, ignored his elder brother and ran away alone.
The eldest farmer brother said helplessly to Zhang Liang: "Brother Zhang, let's talk again when we have a chance."
Regardless of Zhang Liang's reaction, he chased after the farmer boy.
Zhang Liang and the others disappeared and said with a smile: "You two are really interesting brothers. I hope to see you again and join me in my great cause of anti-Qin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, an overwhelming sound came from all directions.
Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard this. He immediately turned back to the tree and saw the people and soldiers all kneeling down to thank Ying Zheng.
"What happened? What did you miss?" Zhang Liang asked in surprise.
He regretted that he had missed such an important thing by chasing after the two farm brothers.
