After being blind, I actually taught the first emperor to rebel against Qin?

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!~"

The return of spring.

The male cuckoo shakes off his gorgeous feathers, showing his majestic body and sonorous singing voice to the gray female bird.

Heralds the arrival of a new courtship season.

The land of Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, started a new year of spring plowing amidst cuckoo courtship calls.

"Hold the plow steady, rest assured and work hard."

Tao Zhengqing, carrying the hemp rope on his back, struggled to pull the plowshare to break open the manure-sprayed yellow land.

I have to carefully tell Widow Cui who is helping the plow to work harder, so that she doesn't get tired.

Fields cannot be fooled.

If you dare to fool it for a while, it dares to fool you for a year.

When you are so hungry that your chest sticks to your back, it will be too late to regret.

Widow Cui hummed weakly.

Holding the plowshare tightly with both hands, for fear of falling over.

After plowing for more than an hour, she has mastered the skill of holding the plow, and she is afraid that the man pulling the plow in front will be exhausted.

Shinri is just a good guy.

Not only did he not bully their orphans and widowed mothers, but he also saw that her mother and mother were pitiful, and they couldn't compete for the farm cattle and donkeys lent by the government, so he went down to pull the plow himself.

Poor families with few people could not afford to buy oxen and plowshares.

Can only borrow from the government.

But what about borrowing?

Orphans and widows can't use this kind of farm tools that can only be pulled by large animals.

I can only look enviously at the prosperous family, where the nephews pull the plow and the parents hold the plow.

The plowshare quickly broke through the loess, setting off waves of khaki to soften the ground.

The plowshare is really nice!

Two strong laborers pull and pull, and after a while, they can loosen the land that originally required five or six people to work all morning.

Much better than rakes and plows.

It is not impossible for a strong man to pull a plow.

Too much work.

No matter how strong a man is, he can't be a cattle messenger.

Widow Cui secretly pressed the handrail, tilting the plowshare slightly, so as not to penetrate too deep into the soil.

So that Mr. Li Zheng can relax.

When Xin Lizheng was exhausted, the government would send someone else to be Lizheng, and her life would be even more difficult.

"Oh!~"

The rope on the shoulders was loosened suddenly, and Tao Zhengqing instantly noticed Widow Cui's small movements.

Hastily stopped.

Wiping off his sweat, he turned around and reprimanded: "Don't fool the field, farmers who fool the field will be struck by lightning!"

"I'm afraid I'll tire you."

Widow Cui held the plow handle in embarrassment, and explained something mournfully.

He lowered his head again and bit his lip, not daring to look directly into Tao Zhengqing's cannibalistic eyes.

"Calculate, count."

Seeing her ghostly appearance, Tao Zhengqing no longer insisted, and shouted at the pavilion chief who was watching the farming with his hands behind his back: "Li Hu, have you finished your sneaking? Come and help me."

"This is the land of Brother Cui Xi's family."

"You have lent all the old cows to others, but what does it mean to leave Mrs. Cui?"

"Today I treat you like an animal!"

"..."

Amidst Tao Zhengqing's shouting and cursing, Li Hu, who was originally speaking in an official tone and posing as the pavilion chief, couldn't pretend not to hear.

Amidst the laughter of the nearby farmers, Pidianpidian ran over to greet Widow Cui.

Cui Xi was the corps leader when the two joined the army.

He takes good care of his subordinate soldiers, and all the brothers admire this big brother.

Just bad luck.

When General Wang Jian and the Chu army tried each other with a small group of troops, they were hit by arrows and died for the country, but they haven't won any titles yet.

With the help of a group of old brothers, they got a surname during the process of bestowing surnames by the King of Qin, and got a reward of five hundred coins.

It is barely an explanation.

Widow Cui couldn't borrow animals to plow the land because she didn't have a title.

The farm cattle reserved by the government are given priority to lend to poor families after meritorious service.

A plowshare would suffice.

Anyone who cannot afford a plowshare can go to the government to borrow it, and there is no need to pay for it if it is broken.

Mainly because I can't afford to pay.

On the market, the price of a plowshare is as high as two gold cakes and four copper coins.

Waiting for others to afford it.

In order to allow the poor to use the plowshares, the King of Qin deliberately suppressed the sale of plowshares and replaced them with government loans.

In this way, it is guaranteed that the old Qin people can use the plowshare this year.

When the county can also produce plowshares, the price will inevitably drop.

Poor people can afford it too.

The two brothers pulled the plowshare and chatted. Although they were not comparable to the cattle, they were similar to ordinary families with prosperous children.

It can be guaranteed that the grain of Widow Cui's family will be sown and harvested together with other families this year.

No lag.

"Oh, I heard that the general has joined the Chu army. I regret leaving the army early."

"I regret it! I have a life to earn, and I have to have a life to spend. I am content. The king is kind, bestowed a surname, appointed an official... Find another wife, have a baby, life is beautiful. It's a pity, why did it happen?" His surname is Tao."

"Hahahaha, on the day you were given your surname, you drank water from an earthen pot!"

"..."

Widow Cui listened to the retired pavilion chief in Junbuli chatting with Li Zheng, carefully holding the plow handle.

He still didn't forget to tell his son Cui Xishan not to be too busy spilling manure, but to bring a pot of water when he went home.

Give it to the two officials.

Even if it is an ox-horse plowshare, it is a master sent by the government.

They are more like people than those pickled things before, and they can do personnel affairs.

There is no shortage of food and clothing at home.

The head of the pavilion and Li Zheng were both old friends of the family member before his death.

She wondered if the autumn harvest would be over this year, and if she should buy a donkey to help with the work.

Take advantage of the fact that my son is still young and save more property.

In a few years, when the child is 12 years old, it is time to arrange a marriage...

People who are down and out like Widow Cui are only a few unlucky ones in Qin.

In general.

Most families of five do not have such a difficult life.

There are a lot of opportunities to earn money and food when building roads in winter.

Just used in spring plowing.

Those with prolific heirs can even buy oxen and plowshares.

Spring plowing and autumn harvest can be guaranteed without borrowing objects from the government.

The days began to look promising.

However, the lack of animal power such as cattle and donkeys cannot be resolved in a short while.

Xiangbang Lu Buwei received memorials from counties and counties asking for cattle and donkeys, so he could only send the errand to the Imperial Horse Supervisor with a sad face.

The Yu Ma Jian, who specializes in raising horses for the King of Qin, has just taken over a batch of donkeys. He wants to get them and send them to the people to solve the problem of insufficient animal power.

As a last resort, the head of the Yumajian had no choice but to come over and tell him that the wild donkey that had just been captured was unbearable.

Have to wait for them to give birth.

Then train the cubs to become donkeys for arable land, so that they can be considered as animal power.

If you don't have two or three years of work, don't count on the Yumajian.

It is better to dispatch more from newly occupied areas such as Chu, Wei, and Han.

You can buy it with money.

The professionals tell the truth.

For something like a wild donkey, you can blindfold it and let it spin in circles, pulling the stone mill around.

However, there is no way to directly use it to plow the land.

Put them on a plowshare, and they will definitely be able to pull and gallop.

No one can catch up.

Not to mention the plow.

Mo Zhe came up with a good solution to the problem that Yumajian couldn't solve.

—Hang a wooden stick under the belly of the wild donkey.

When the wild donkey is running, it will shake the wooden stick and beat its four legs.

Gently beat the donkey's legs without hurting them.

But it can effectively stop the wild donkey from galloping.

He could only walk slowly, the more steadily he walked, the less the wooden stick would interfere with the wild donkey's movements.

It was not the right time for his old man to enter Xuanqu Palace.

Just in time for Tangyu to start spring plowing.

A group of strong men, there is nothing they can do about the untamed wild donkeys.

It is not as efficient as pulling the plow manually.
