After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that he has Meng Yi, Zhang Cang, Fu Su, Li Si and others, he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the Xu Palace official office at all.
In this way, he can safely transfer his energy to merchants, not only in the Central Plains, but also in the Western Regions.
After returning to his house, Zhao Shu fell into deep thought. He held the Hidden Palace in his hand and had a lot of power at his disposal, but none of these people belonged to him.
With King Qin's presence, Zhao Shu did not dare to completely control the Hidden Palace. It was not that he did not have the ability, but he knew that he could not do this.
As for the Twelve Shang, Zhao Shu did not have high hopes. The Twelve Shang were almost separated from him and only relied on the Twelve Shang Guild to grow.
Moreover, Yan Mo's ability is not an unprecedented talent.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Shu decided to release the twelve merchants. The twelve merchants could not grow up in Xianyang.
The hidden pulse of the hidden palace is just an explanation to Qin Wangzheng, and he must expose what he does to Qin Wangzheng's eyes.
However, in life, one must at least keep one or two backup plans, not to guard against Qin Wang's political affairs, but for the future.
Today, he can trust himself like never before, but the next King of Qin may not trust himself from the bottom of his heart.
For example, when Shang Jun Wei Yang and Qin Xiaogong defeated Quliang, they could be said to be mutual trust between king and minister. However, by the time of King Huiwen, Wei Yang was quartered by five horses.
Zhao Shu wanted to be Wei Yang and lay the foundation for the Qin Dynasty for all eternity, but he didn't want to end up like Wei Yang.
With this thought, Zhao Shu decided to meet Yan Mo. No matter when, he must give himself the power to fight back.
At least you have to have the confidence to escape.
"Sir, the development of the honeycomb has produced certain results. The curved shaft plow has been developed and has been tested with excellent results."
"If it is promoted, it will be enough to replace the coupling plow with the curved shaft plow."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu's eyes flashed with light, but he knew that these were epoch-making things.
The so-called coupled plow means that it is pulled by two oxen and driven by three people.
Later, plow walls appeared, allowing the iron plow to turn the soil in the same direction.
According to Zhao Shu's memory, he knew that the cattle farming method using coupled plows was not extended to the Pearl River Basin until the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At present, it is only popular in a small area in the Yellow River Basin and Huaihe River Basin.
Compared with the current plow, the curved shaft plow has several major improvements.
The first is to change the straight and long shafts to curved and short shafts, and install a plow disc that can rotate freely on the shaft head. This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates U-turns and turns, flexible operation, and saves manpower and time. livestock.
In the past, two oxen and three people could be used to plow one ox and one plow if they used a curved-column plow. And most importantly, once the curved-column plow was implemented, it would not only be cattle who plowed the land.
Such as donkeys and mules.
After thinking about this, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time, then turned towards Gongshu City and said, "Do you know any farmer who is good at breeding?"
"Young Master, people who are good at breeding are basically from the imperial court. The imperial court breeds war horses..." Gong Shucheng quickly reported to Zhao Shu and said.
"Regarding the plowing matter, we will keep it secret for the time being. As for the reward, let Yaoyao take some money and food from the treasury and distribute it to everyone."
Zhao Shu pondered for a while, then walked towards Gongshu City and said: "Especially those who create the plow, after plowing, they will have 10% of the wealth."
"If it's one person, it's one person's income. If it's a team, there's a team's income, and it's divided according to merit."
"You tell the craftsmen in the hive this news. This is called a patent to ensure your power."
"Since you have made achievements, you should be rich and wealthy. You shouldn't be unable to support your family!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Gongshu City bowed deeply towards Zhao Shu and said, "I would like to thank you for your great kindness!"
"Get down!"
"promise."
After seeing Gongshu City off, Zhao Shu turned to Tie Qi and said, "Tie Qi, prepare the car and go to the Imperial Servant's Office."
"promise."
Servant!
One of the three princes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty, he was responsible for the King of Qin's carriages, horses, horse administration, and the government's livestock affairs.
And now Zhao Gao is one of the Chefu Orders under the Imperial Servant.
The imperial servant of Da Qin was from the Ying clan, and his name was Ying Xiao. After all, Zhao Shu had to call him uncle.
He is a person of the same generation as Qin Wangzheng.
The servant was not only one of the Nine Qin Qings, but also an elder of the clan named Ying, so Zhao Shu had to go there in person.
"Yaoyao, send a greeting card to the servant. An hour later, I will personally visit you!"
"promise."
Watching Yaoyao leave, Zhao Shu knew clearly that the servant was in charge of the Qin Dynasty's horse administration. Such a person was destined to be powerful.
It is impossible for a country to escape from horse politics. Unless it completely enters the second industrial revolution, horse politics will be a major national event.
The Imperial Servant's Office.
"Your Majesty, Prince Shu has sent me a greeting card. He will visit you in an hour. Do you want to refuse?" The clerk walked in and said to the Imperial Servant Ying Xiao.
Hearing this, Ying Xiao opened his eyes, shook his head, and said: "I agree, I am also very interested in this rising star of the royal family."
"promise."
Ying Xiao had naturally heard of the name Zhao Shu, and he also knew that Zhao Shu was destined to become a giant in Great Qin.
If possible, he would naturally not want to antagonize Zhao Shu, not to mention that they both belonged to the Great Qin clan.
If possible, he would naturally want to turn against Zhao Shu. After all, Zhao Shu was young and he was already half-old, so he might not be able to use Zhao Shu in the future.
And since they are both members of the same clan, they naturally have to move around a lot.
With this thought in his mind, Ying Xiao was somewhat confused about Zhao Shu's visit. After all, he only controlled the affairs of the Qin Dynasty and had little to do with Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu needed war horses, so there was no need to look for him. He knew very well that Qin Wangzheng valued Zhao Shu very much, and Chang Shi Li Si was Zhao Shu's teacher.
And Zhao Shu has a good relationship with the clan...
"Prepare a small feast!"
"promise."
Time flew by, and Zhao Shu took advantage of the chariot to arrive at the door of the imperial servant's office. The civil servant who had been waiting at the door saluted Zhao Shu and said.
"I have met the young master. The servant is waiting at the official office. Young Master, please——!"
"Thank you!"
With a nod, Zhao Shu followed the clerk into the imperial servant's office, holding a jar of Yan wine in his hand, which was a gift he brought to the imperial servant.
After all, you can’t go empty-handed when visiting your home. Zhao Shu still understands these worldly things very well.
"I, Ying Xiao, have seen Young Master Shu!" At the same time, Ying Xiao came to greet him with an extremely friendly attitude.
Zhao Shu quickly helped Ying Xiao up, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I'm a servant, don't do this. You and I are both members of the clan, and Shu is the junior..."
