Spring plowing is the most important thing in this era, almost one of the most important things.
The plan for a year begins in spring. Most of the food in this era matures relatively slowly. Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn are all the food harvests for the year.
If spring plowing does not go well, then this year's life may not be smooth.
Agriculture is the foundation of the people. If there is no agriculture and no food, how can we survive?
This time is no better than later generations.
In later generations, even if you don't grow food, you can still buy it outside. At this time, the commodity economy has not developed, and most of the food is grown by yourself.
How can every household survive without food?
Chen Ke put down the pen in his hand and looked at the dark land. At this time, in his eyes, he seemed to see patches of green.
He turned his head and sat at his desk, thinking silently.
After coming to Penglaizhou, the first thing he did was to do spring plowing, but the spring plowing after he came was different from the spring plowing in the past.
He had taken out a lot of farm tools before, such as the plow and the columbine.
These two are used for planting.
The Quyuan plow only appeared during the Tang Dynasty, while the columbine cart appeared during the Han Dynasty.
Although these farm tools are easy to use, they have a fatal flaw.
That is "iron".
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the columbine was not that popular, and it was only later that it gradually became popular.
It's because of the way "iron" is forged.
Without precise forging methods, "iron" is actually a very soft thing, which may surprise many people.
That's why the forged "iron" can not only be used in farm tools, but also in weapons.
Chen Ke pressed his forehead.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much."
"Let the officials here forge a batch of farm tools tomorrow. As for what happens next, I'll think about it later."
When he was in Xianyang City, he ordered the various states and counties to forge these agricultural tools, but later the matter fell through due to the Six Kingdoms.
At this time, Chen Ke came to Penglaizhou and watched it personally, and he wanted to restart the matter.
Now it is being piloted in Peng Laizhou and will be rolled out nationwide later.
This was originally planned and one of the original intentions of Penglaizhou.
Chen Ke dropped the pen in his hand, rubbed his forehead, rolled over on the bed, and then yawned.
He has always been like this.
I couldn't fall asleep when I was lying in bed, and when I was doing business, my head was always dizzy and I wanted to sleep.
"Let's leave this matter to Fusu tomorrow."
Chen Ke closed his eyes and stopped thinking about this matter.
Fusu came here just to solve these problems?
There is a ready-made tool, why not use it?
...........
In the blink of an eye, three or four days have passed since Chen Ke came to Penglaizhou.
The past three or four days have been calm.
Except for one time when Governor Chen said he wanted to entertain three county guards, so he asked the other two county guards to come, he did not issue any orders.
This is undoubtedly puzzling.
Wang Kande was the most confused among them, because he felt that things should not develop like this.
He frowned, with confusion in his voice: "What exactly is Fusu thinking?"
"Is it true that Chen Ke's power can suppress him with peace of mind? Doesn't he care?"
"You finally escaped from the First Emperor and were pinned down by another person?"
If it were Wang Kande, Wang Kande felt that he would be angry to death.
No one needs to provoke him, he can find a way to get rid of that person.
He pressed his forehead: "It seems that we need to think of another way."
...........
Governor's Palace
Chen Ke was sitting in the yard leaning on Pingji, not wanting to move at all.
Fusu beside him was handling government affairs.
No matter how much outsiders said Chen Ke had power, Fusu didn't care at all.
Because the so-called power has always been in his hands...
And he still found it annoying, but he couldn't ignore it.
"teacher."
Fusu said helplessly: "Can't you take a look at the government affairs? Isn't it a bit too much to leave all the government affairs to me alone?"
Chen Ke chuckled and slumped on the table.
"Oh, those who can do more work."
"Fusu, when you came to Penglaizhou, weren't you just worried that I wouldn't be able to handle government affairs? You're already here, how can you leave these things to me?"
He yawned: "But hurry up and get busy. After you're done, let's go out for a walk."
Chen Ke smiled and said: "Linzi County City is really too quiet. It's so quiet that I feel a little confused."
"Why is it that Wang Kande's rule is so pure?"
"The whole world is busy with spring plowing, and everything is prosperous, but only his Linzi County is so peaceful?"
Chen Ke sneered.
If he is really ignorant, forget about the high-ranking Jiu Qing who has been with him in Xianyang City all day long.
But he is not.
He is a person who has watched countless so-called "historical films" in later generations. He can see through Wang Kande's small tricks at a glance.
There are only two kinds.
One is those who are poor, distressed, and can't survive. They really can't survive.
One is that this "Mr. Wang" is kind-hearted and hates poor people, so he drives all the poor people somewhere and gathers them together.
Either way, neither is a good thing.
There was a little starlight in Fusu's eyes. He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Teacher, do we want to go out to play?"
"Just the two of us?"
Chen Ke looked at Fusu differently: "Of course it's not just the two of us."
Fusu looked a little disappointed.
At this time, Chen Ke said slowly: "After all, you are the eldest son, we still have to work with some people from Heibingtai secretly."
"How else can your safety be guaranteed?"
Fusu rolled his eyes. Since he gradually became familiar with Chen Ke a year ago, he has become more and more accustomed to doing this kind of unsightly behavior more and more.
"Teacher, you are teasing me again."
He sighed and looked at the government affairs in front of him: "These were originally the teacher's, but now I have to deal with them."
"It's simply unreasonable!"
Chen Ke laughed loudly. He pointed at Fusu and said, "Don't be emotional. It's better to deal with it quickly."
"In case it's too late, we won't be able to get out."
.........
On the extremely vast ocean.
A row of ships rode the wind and waves, crossed countless sea areas, and moved forward firmly in one direction.
The black dragon flag was hoisted on the ship, and the flag had a slightly cool color.
The giant black dragon bared its teeth and claws on the flag, as if it wanted to tear apart all the obstacles in front of it.
Xu Fu stood on one of the leading ships with a solemn expression.
At this time, there were dark clouds in the sky, and dense spots of light came out from behind the dark clouds. It was like an eye peeking out from behind the curtain in the sky.
It looked like an eye and a huge sun.
The wind and waves on the sea never stop for a moment, and the boundless waves are like a giant beast trying to swallow people whole.
The sea level in the distance is black and blue.
In the deep ocean, there are occasionally one or two fish swimming by, and there are even dangerous sharks, whales and other things among them.
Sailing on the sea, these strange things are no longer rare.
Xu Fu was tied with a long rope, not just him, but everyone else was tied with a rope to prevent them from being thrown off.
Even when sleeping at night, they would tie ropes around their bodies.
The ocean is a dangerous place.
Xu Fu looked at the crow-grey sky in the distance and the foggy yellow with a little hazy malt green lightning, and sighed quietly.
"How long has it been since we left Da Qin?"
The guard beside him immediately reported back: "I am reporting to Ambassador Xu that the ship left in February of the first year of the First Emperor's reign. It is now the end of March of the second year of the First Emperor's reign."
"It has been more than a year since we left Daqin."
One year.
Xu Fu silently counted the days in his heart.
Before leaving Da Qin, Chen Ke once talked to him and said that it would take about half a year to more than a year to get from Da Qin to the land where the Yin Shang remnants he mentioned.
But now it has been more than a year, and they have not yet found the Yin Shang remnants of the mainland.
Xu Fu looked at the simple Kanyu map in his hand, and then at the direction of sailing in the distance. After thinking silently for a moment, he pointed to one of the azimuth maps.
"Go in this direction for another ten days."
"If we can't see land in ten days, we will go back the same way and go to the island where we supplied supplies before."
The guard beside him nodded slightly.
Xu Fu turned around and returned to the cabin, but he felt a little unwilling...
Before leaving Da Qin, he, His Majesty and Chen Fengchang all swore that he would definitely find the Yin Shang Continent.
Now I have to return in vain...
How could he be willing to do so?
Not only that, if the Yin Shang Continent can be found, he will be a person who can leave his name in history and be recorded in the history books!
No matter how many years pass, as long as the world is not destroyed by the gods, everyone must remember his name.
As long as the Yin Shang Continent has not sunk and there are still remains, he will be remembered!
Xu Fu, a native of Qin, was the first person to discover the Yin and Shang Continent!
A flame rose in Xu Fu's eyes, and his heart was filled with passion. If he couldn't find it in ten days, he would replenish his resources and set off again!
Must find it!
...........
Linzi County County City
Mutar stood at the city gate, looking at a group of people crowded together, as if they were looking at something.
He walked forward and saw a notice posted at the city gate.
It said that with spring plowing approaching, the government would make a batch of new and useful farm tools, which were previously called "Shaofu plows" and "Shaofu carts."
Because these two items contain "iron", they cannot be purchased and made by ordinary families.
Therefore, the government will fund the forging, and each village can rent it with just some money.
Mutar looked at the notice and an idea came to his mind silently.
"Is it really as I thought?"
