Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"This principle sounds quite simple, is it really so easy to use?"

Ying Zheng looked at the planter in front of him curiously. Even a layman in farming could easily understand the principle of the planter.

"Of course it is easy to use. You can also adjust the size of the cracks in the funnel to control the number and type of seeds. For example, seeds such as wheat are relatively small, and the planting density is not high. You can adjust it to be smaller, and then corn and the like. If the seeds are bigger, you can adjust it to be bigger!"

Zhao Che said while showing Ying Zheng how to adjust.

"Finally, a wooden rake can be placed behind the planter. After sowing, the wooden rake will level the land along the way."

"Okay, good stuff!"

Ying Zheng repeatedly praised it, and it was indeed Zhao Che's product, which must be a high-quality product.

"This small planter is so powerful, isn't the large one even more powerful?"

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to see the large planter.

"It's okay, there is actually not much difference between a large planter and a small one. The working principle of the two is the same, except that the large planter can sow more land at a time, and it cannot be pulled by relying solely on manpower." It is moving, so it needs to be pulled by oxen.”

"How much land can the large seeder plow at most in a day?"

"I haven't calculated it, but dozens of acres is still easy."

Zhao Che thought for a while and gave a relatively conservative figure.

"Dozens of acres?!"

Hearing this efficiency, Ying Zheng and the others were deeply shocked.

"One cattle can cultivate dozens of acres of land in one day. In other words, a Jingshui Pavilion only needs four or five cattle at most, and can complete the cultivation of the entire land in five or six days. With a small planter, the speed may be even faster!"

After a little calculation, Ying Zheng came up with such an astonishing statistic.

"Cher, this planter must be mass-produced!"

Ying Zheng made a decisive decision.

"Sir, I have a question!"

Before Zhao Che could answer, Li Si suddenly stood up.

"what is the problem?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Si.

"Sir, my lord, I don't know how much this planter costs to manufacture, but I think it won't be too cheap. Guizhou chiefs are poor, what if they can't afford this planter?"

After Li Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and the others also fell into deep thought.

Indeed, they only saw the power of the planter, but they did not expect that it would not be difficult to promote this planter. The main difficulty lies in whether the leaders of Guizhou can afford it.

"How about we give out a batch to the heads of Guizhou for free?"

Meng Yi tentatively gave an opinion.

"no!"

As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, Zhao Che resolutely vetoed it.

"Huh? Why is that?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Che in surprise.

"Although the cost of the planter is not very high, what we have to think about is that the benefits that the planter can bring to the heads of Guizhou definitely far exceed their initial efforts."

"Secondly, I have never advocated that the people should be rewarded for nothing. No matter who it is, we should cultivate the idea of ​​creating value through labor. We distributed seeders for free today, and farm tools for free tomorrow. They have a mentality of getting something for nothing, which is absolutely undesirable.”

"As for the Qianshou people who can't afford the seeder, what should we do? There are two ways. The first one is leasing. Our store can provide leasing services, and we only need to charge a little usage fee every day. Generally, the family in Qianshou may only charge a dozen or so. Acres of land can be finished in at most two days, so they can't afford such a small amount of money, right?"

……

Hearing Zhao Che's words completely overturned everyone's perception.

"Young master's words, not only did not lose the Confucian benevolence and love for the people, but also took into account the rules and justice of the Legalists. It can be seen that the young master has studied the thoughts of these two schools quite deeply."

Li Si, as the representative of Legalism, couldn't help sighing deeply, he couldn't find any loopholes in Zhao Che's words.

"Among the hundreds of schools of thought, each has its own essence, and none of them is perfect, and there are bound to be flaws, but they can be made up for and integrated with other schools of thought, not blindly advocating the ideas of a single school, blending with each other, learning from each other's strengths, and covering everything. , is the way to govern the country."

Ying Zheng kept nodding his head. Zhao Che's words touched his heart. As a person who highly admires Legalism, he naturally has a deep understanding of some of the advantages and disadvantages of Legalism.

But he really didn't think about it, it turned out that he could use the ideas of other schools to make up for these shortcomings, and Zhao Che had such a thorough and in-depth understanding at such a young age, he really deserved to be the heir apparent he chose.

"My son has such thoughts at a young age, and he can be regarded as creating his own unique genre."
