Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"What does your son mean, let us close the factory temporarily?"

"The factory doesn't need to be shut down. In fact, the only problem we have now is the lack of manpower for spring plowing. As long as we find a way to improve the efficiency of spring plowing, one or two people in a family can complete the previous work and always be free. out of idle labor."

Zhao Che smiled, and casually pointed to the wind-powered waterwheel beside him.

"Look, now that there are wind-powered water trucks, can irrigation save a lot of effort? What Guizhou chiefs have to do is to open the gate to release water when water is needed."

"Also, the Quyuanli, which we invented before, needs to be promoted on a large scale as much as possible. In this way, it will be much easier for the heads of Guizhou when they are plowing the land. In the past, the whole family worked hard for several days. Now one It only takes a person a day to do it.”

"Finally, I still have a lot of newly invented farm tools here, which can greatly improve the efficiency of farming. Each household can have a few people busy with spring plowing, and the young and strong labor force can still free up time to continue working in the factory. "

Hearing Zhao Che's words, Meng Yi's face immediately became excited.

"Qin Shihuang's lifespan is approaching the countdown, and there is not much time left for us now, so this year's spring plowing and factory benefits are very important to us, and these things must not be relaxed."

Zhao Che said to several people very solemnly.

"I understand. This wind-powered waterwheel must be produced and promoted as soon as possible. In the past, a lot of manpower would have been wasted just for irrigation."

Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"And this year's spring plowing must also be greatly changed from previous years. Not only in terms of crops, large-scale planting is required, but also those economic crops I mentioned before can almost be planted."

"Troubled times are approaching, and food is more important than gold. This year's autumn harvest is very important to us. It is best to expand the scale of planting as much as possible within our capabilities, and to increase food production."

"Dad, didn't I ask you to build public toilets in Xianyang before? How are you doing now? Whether our grain production can take off this year depends on these farm manures."

"Farmyard manure? What does that have to do with public toilets?"

Zhao Shu didn't quite understand the situation, so he was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Of course it does matter. Don't look at the filthy things in the public toilets. If they are really used properly, they may be worth as much as gold."

"What? This filthy thing can be compared to gold? Young master, are you joking?"

The corner of Zhao Shu's mouth twitched, he couldn't connect that thing with gold, except for the color, which was pretty similar.

"You don't understand this. As the saying goes, the fertilizer and water don't flow into other people's fields. These manures are natural fertilizers. As long as they are fermented and sprinkled on the ground, they can greatly increase the production of food."

"It's so amazing?"

Ying Zheng and the others had heard Zhao Che say it before, but after all, they had never seen it with their own eyes, so they must still be skeptical.

"It's not magical. You'll know when this autumn harvest is over. Anyway, these farm manures must not be wasted. They must be put to good use."

"Che'er is right. Is it amazing that after this autumn harvest, we will naturally see the results. I believe in Che'er."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you. I will tell you the method of fermenting the farmyard manure later. Now I will start processing it after I go back. When it is time for spring plowing, I will sprinkle the farmyard manure into the soil according to my method. It has greatly improved the fertility of the land!"

"Okay, just do as you say."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that there is no formula for rewarding chemical fertilizers. Although farmyard manure is easy to use, there is still a big gap compared with professional chemical fertilizers."

Zhao Che secretly sighed in his heart, the amount of farm manure is limited, but the amount of land they control now is not much, so it should be enough for the time being.

"By the way, Che'er, you just said that you have a newly invented farm tool? What does it look like, can you show it to us?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered what Zhao Che said just now, and asked curiously.

"Of course you can. Although these agricultural tools seem simple, they are much easier to use than those widely used in Daqin now."

As Zhao Che said, he took Ying Zheng and the others back to the field.

"Xiao Niu, bring a set of farm tools over here!"

Zhao Che casually greeted him, and Maverick walked over with a complete set of farm tools in his arms.

"Brother Che, it's all here."

The Maverick put his hand on the ground and said.

"How about Dad, how do these farm tools compare with the previous ones?"

Zhao Che picked up a shovel with a smile and said.

"It doesn't seem like there's much of a difference."

"It seems that there is no difference, but in fact there is a big difference, and these farm tools have their own unique functions, and you can only know whether they work well or not after you try them yourself."

"Oh? Then show me how to use these farm tools?"

After looking at it for a long time, Ying Zheng recognized the general appearance of a shovel and a hoe, but he really didn't know what the others were for.

"Okay, let's start with this shovel."

As Zhao Che said, he casually picked up two shovels.

"There are two types of shovels, round-headed and square-headed, and each serves a different purpose."

"This kind of round head has a sharper shovel head, which is more suitable for digging and other work."

"The shovel head with the square head is wider and has a larger usable area, so it is more suitable for transportation and other work."

"Is this shovel divided into such fine types?"

Yingzheng was a little surprised, looking at the two kinds of shovels in front of him, it was indeed as Zhao Che said, one with a square head and the other with a round head.

"Father, Uncle Meng, don't you know the difference between the two by yourself?"

"Okay, then I'll try the round head first."

Ying Zheng grabbed a round-headed shovel and poked it into the ground under his feet.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Che said, the round-headed shovel could easily be inserted into the ground, and with a little force, a pothole appeared in the ground.
