Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Chapter 203 Is This Also a Farm Tool?

"laugh!"

The weather has just warmed up, and the ground has not completely thawed. Even in Yingzheng's imperial garden, the ground under his feet is actually very hard.

Originally, Wang Wan thought that it would take a lot of strength to shovel it down, but to his surprise, the round-headed shovel seemed to be particularly labor-saving, and it pierced into the ground very easily.

"I understand. A shovel with a round head is like an arrow. The sharper the head, the easier it is to pierce!"

Wang Wan's eyes were also vicious, and she could see the principle of the round-headed shovel at a glance.

"Wang Xiang, since the sharper the tip of the shovel, the easier it is to pierce, why not design it to be sharp?"

At this time, an official on the side heard Wang Wan's analysis and couldn't help but asked with some doubts.

"The shovel is originally a farm tool, not a weapon for fighting. The pointed one is useless except that it can easily penetrate the ground, and it will only increase the danger. What's more, the pointed shovel can't shovel things at all. , so this round head is the most suitable."

"So that's it. Then what is this thing used for? There is a sharp thorn here. Could it be a farming tool?"

The official picked up the pickaxe on the ground and asked Ying Zheng a question.

"This object is called a pickaxe. One side looks like a hoe, and it is specially used to dig soft ground, while the other side has a sharp horn. This horn has two functions. One is that it can be used for prying, and the other is It can be used to smash hard objects that hinder digging!"

At this time, Ying Zheng also let go of the emperor's airs, clearly like an old farmer who is familiar with farm work, and took the trouble to explain the use of these farm tools to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is the Quyuanli you mentioned, right?"

At this time, someone finally mentioned the point.

"That's right, this thing is a curved shaft plow. Compared with our traditional plow rake, this kind of plow rake is easier to use. It doesn't even need to be pulled by an ox. It can plow the land purely by manpower."

Officials who have seen these miraculous farm tools with their own eyes have no doubts at this moment.

"My loves, get up, I don't blame you, you are also thinking about my Daqin Sheji!"

Ying Zheng dismissed the topic lightly, then turned around and began to give orders.

"From today, I will mass-produce these agricultural tools, but seeing that spring plowing is about to start, it is obviously not enough to apply it to the whole Daqin, so I plan to use all the counties around Xianyang as pilots to start experimenting with these tools. The new planting method, after the effect comes out, we can continue to promote it.”

"Secondly, for the workers who work in the factory, Zhisu Neishi needs to make statistics to see if they still have labor in their families. If not, they will all be forced to take a holiday for a period of time, and let them continue to work after the spring plowing is over!"

"Finally, and most importantly, the crops I want to plant in Daqin this year will have some changes. Not only the previous wheat and millet, but also economic crops such as potatoes, cotton, peppers, and peppers, and secondly, we will expand the planting. Scale, promote planting techniques such as vegetables!"

……

Ying Zheng issued several orders in one breath, and finally conveyed all the plans for this year, and then just waited for the officials below to implement them.

"I will live up to His Majesty's great trust!"

Having said all this, many courtiers would naturally not object, and quickly agreed with their hands.

"Go away!"

Now that the goal had been achieved, Ying Zheng didn't intend to waste any more time, so he turned around and announced the end of the court meeting, and let all the officials leave.

At that time, Meng Yi and Xia Wuju, who got up early and were sent away by Ying Zheng, finally rushed to Jingyang and met Li Si.

"Meet Li Gong!"

When Xia Wuqiu heard Ying Zheng's order to find Li Si, he knew that Li Si was demoted to Jingyang for another purpose.

It's no wonder that Ying Zheng spared no effort to save Li Si's life. How could he just drive him away?

"Li Si, I have already delivered him, and I have explained to him the precautions on the way. I will trouble you to take him to see the young master later, and I have to go back to Xianyang to return to my life!"

Meng Yi sent Xia Wuqie to Li Si, and said goodbye directly to Li Si. He didn't intend to go to see Zhao Che, so he turned around and got on the carriage back to Xianyang.

"Li Gong, who is the young master Shangqing mentioned just now?"

Meng Yi only gave Xia Wuqie some precautions, but he didn't reveal a single word about Zhao Che's identity.

"Young master is the mysterious expert that His Majesty wants you to meet. Since His Majesty has agreed to let you see Young Master, let me tell you about the identity of Young Master. He is His Majesty's youngest son, but he is the oldest. The excellent one, who lived outside since he was a child, didn't meet him until last year, and the young master is very good. All the changes that His Majesty has made from last year to this year are all because of the young master's reasons, including my coming here. Actually It is also to assist the young master, because His Majesty has privately designated the young master as the crown prince!"

"What? Only 16 years old? Your Majesty has already appointed the crown prince?"

Xia Wuqiu himself was only an imperial physician order, so he naturally didn't care much about the struggle for power, but it was still a very shocking thing that Ying Zheng secretly appointed the crown prince without telling so many people.

What is the most important thing?Zhao Che is only 16 years old, and he is actually the legendary mysterious expert.

In everyone's impression, such almighty, with such powerful ability, must be a hidden fairy character, at least seven or eighty years old, maybe even hundreds of years old old fairy.

It turned out that he was just a 16-year-old child. After such a comparison, it felt like these old guys had really lived purely for dogs these years.

"Remember, His Majesty has not revealed his identity to the young master, so you must not mention it. No matter what the young master asks you to do, you just need to obey unconditionally, and you don't need to ask a word!"

Li Si took Xia Wuqie out of the county government office, and on the way to Jingshui, he made another confession.
