A new thing obviously has different meanings in different times.
However, the promotion of the curved shaft plow is not inconsistent with the widespread promotion of cattle. After all, the short curved shaft plow can be used by humans and cattle.
The short curved shaft plow only requires one ox. Considering the family conditions of ordinary people, it is estimated that there is a high probability that they cannot afford two oxen. It is more likely that they will directly transform into cows and horses and act as oxen themselves. The short curved shaft plow is more suitable for the current situation of Da Qin.
As for the long curved shaft plow, it will be widely used in the private property of nobles.
There is no doubt that this is an improvement.
Da Qin's legal system strictly stipulates that inventions and creations are also rewarded.
Zhao Si not only invented the Quyuan plow, but also the vernier caliper and various small tools.
The most important thing is the method of drying salt. These contributions add up to a lot.
"Grade three..." The First Emperor frowned and came to the bookshelf.
At present, the Quyuan plow and sun-salted methods have not yet been implemented in the world. Their effectiveness is only estimated, so the rewards cannot be fully distributed at once.
Of course, the third level is not enough. Quyuanli and the salt-drying method are enough for Zhao Si to send him to the doctor.
Now it's a part of the advance, and the final settlement won't be made until the sun-salting method and Quyuanli are popularized, and the first-level title will be guaranteed.
As for the three new grains of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, as well as Zhao Si's return to the Qin Dynasty as ordered by the king, plus sea maps, etc... we have to wait until the new grains are unearthed, and we will calculate it separately after everything is settled.
"Zhao Si hasn't studied yet?" the First Emperor asked.
"I've never been able to understand the words in any book." Meng Yi nodded.
On the way to send Zhao Si and his party to Lantian Camp, Meng Yi and Zhao Si got along for a while, and Meng Yi also served as Zhao Si's first teacher for a period of time.
Hmm... Zhao Si doesn't know many words, let alone study. Meng Yi is overqualified to teach Zhao Si how to read. However, Meng Yi still approves of Zhao Si's behavior of not letting go of any opportunity to learn literacy. .
The First Emperor nodded, as expected.
The First Emperor could feel it when he was chatting with Zhao Si. He could basically tell if he was an educated person these days with just a few words.
Zhao Si's academic level is modern, and no one would recognize it in Da Qin's era. It sounds like he is more organized at best, and his expressions are richer, but his actual level is quite average, and he is no better than ordinary people.
In this way, it is easy to understand Zhao Si's low business ability.
The First Emperor pondered for a moment and pulled out a few bamboo slips from the bookshelf.
"Give me a letter to Zhao Si."
Meng Yi looked at the rolls of bamboo tubes given by the First Emperor and was secretly shocked.
"Xian Xue" "Five Beetles"
The First Emperor favored Han Feizi's ideas. After the unification, part of the Qin State's ideas for governing the country were based on Han Feizi's ideas.
"Xianxue" and "Five Worms" are one of the few articles that the First Emperor liked to read the most. They are also among the top ones in the Legalist classics. They are highly professional and involve the governance of the country, scholarship, politics, thought, laws, etc. All aspects.
Meng Yi knew Zhao Si's background. With Zhao Si's literary skills and quality, it would probably take ten days and a half to read these two volumes.
Not to mention understanding...unless Zhao Si is a genius.
Before Zhao Si started studying, the First Emperor gave him the books "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms", which were of profound significance.
These two books are not only part of the theoretical support for Qin's current governance, but also one of the favorite works of the First Emperor.
Obviously, it cannot be explained unless Jian is in the emperor's heart.
In fact, the First Emperor didn't have too many ideas.
He just liked Zhao Si and was more comfortable getting along with him. In addition, Zhao Si had not yet studied and was a blank sheet of paper. Giving "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms" to the First Emperor was more like giving Zhao Si a copy. Enlightenment reading.
But for someone like Meng Yi who was close to the king, the meaning was obviously not ordinary.
If Meng Yi is a treacherous person, he should shout loudly at this moment that Zhao Si is so terrifying and so close to the king. If he is in the heart of the emperor, he will become a serious problem for me in the future.
However, Meng Yi was not. On the contrary, he had a good impression of Zhao Si.
To be precise, any upright person would appreciate Zhao Si's loyalty to the emperor by living up to the king's orders and wandering back to Qin.
Not to mention that Zhao Si and Meng Yi have no conflict of interest, and they are influenced by the halo of jade. Meng Yi looks at Zhao Si more as a junior with good potential.
After talking to the First Emperor, Meng Yi stepped out of the palace gate, looked up in the direction of Lantian, and let out a sigh.
"Tsk!"
Suddenly thinking about it, Zhao Si, a young man, was not from a noble family. But don’t have too much halo around you.
Now that I am still living in Lantian, I feel like I am moving forward in an indomitable way.
The military merit title system of the Qin Dynasty itself was an anti-aristocratic hereditary system, but being born in the Qin State was equally useful and useful.
As long as it is a feudal society, it will never be avoided. Feudal society will always be a power game for the upper class.
Meng Yi himself is a beneficiary.
And Zhao Si... is starting from scratch in the true sense.
But he has a lot of aura, he lives up to the king's orders, he is loyal to the emperor, Jane is in the emperor's heart, he also has sea charts, three new grains, the method of drying salt... He has even formed political correctness.
These have barely smoothed out the gap in origin.
Obviously, if Zhao Si shows good talents after studying, his future will be bright.
Those are the "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms" given by His Majesty himself!
…
On the other side, the servants sent by Wang Jian have arrived in Lantian.
Wang Ben remained expressionless as he listened to the servant's story.
"Ji Si?"
"wait for a second."
Wang Ben went back to his room to search for a while and found a scroll of bamboo slips.
Zhao Si and the crew members who could not find their hometowns settled in Xianyang. It was Wang Ben's initiative and there were backups.
Wang Ben dug out the bamboo slips and matched them one by one.
There were not many people who brought them back to Lantian, so after a while Wang Bi had finished reading, and no one named Ji Si followed Zhao Si to Lantian.
"Since it was entrusted by the soldiers of the old tent, I can send a letter to Langya." Wang Ben said.
Langya uniformly issued a biography test for soldiers who clearly remembered their place of origin and allowed them to return home. It cannot be ruled out that some people misremembered or deliberately falsely reported their place of origin. There are backups there. When I checked, the name Ji Si was not found. Can.
After all, it was his old father Wang Jian's request, so Wang Ben still took it seriously.
"In addition, I would like to ask if there is Ji Si on Zhao Si's ship. However, there were nearly ten thousand people who went there in the past. Zhao Si took the ship and sailed only 800, and when he returned to Qin, more than half of them were killed or injured... Whether this person returned to Qin, I don't know yet. Easy to talk about." Wang Ben said.
"I know, I will go home and report to my master." He said and left.
Wang Ben put the official document back on the shelf and was stunned for a moment.
"Also called Si...age is early twenty-one years old..."
The age is right for Zhao Si, but when I think about it carefully, I burst out laughing again.
The three thousand boys and girls who went to sea back then were all of the same age, and those who had the same name and the same age were not isolated cases...
They are almost the same age and have the same name. This rare situation was common on ships going out to sea in those days.
