Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

After Yingzheng finished explaining, he asked his servants to lead the cattle and showed them the farming efficiency of the large planter on the spot.

It only took two and a half trips back and forth for an acre of land and it was over.

"Your Majesty, this planter must be promoted as soon as possible, so that we will not need to spend much effort on spring plowing this year."

"That's right, I think so too. The manufacture of this planter has already been handed over to the Ministry of Industry. Da Sikong is in charge, and the public loser will manufacture it. Then I will open several shops in Xianyang to sell this planter and various new farm tools. Promote all of them, do you have any suggestions?"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, someone really stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have a question, what is the cost of the planter Quyuanli and various new farm tools? So many things, even if the individual prices are not expensive, the sum is not a small sum, my lord I'm worried that ordinary Qianshou may not be able to spend so much money at all."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng wished he could give a thumbs up to the person who asked the question, didn't this just hit his heart.

"Ahem, I can understand Aiqing's doubts, so I have already thought of a countermeasure. This problem is actually very easy to solve. Zhao Qing, come out and explain to all Aiqings."

Ying Zheng winked at Zhao Shu and said.

"My lords, Your Majesty has ordered me to make preparations for the question you just raised. I have already arranged this matter. After the Ministry of Commerce is established, the Ministry of Commerce will be responsible for the leasing of these agricultural tools."

"lease?"

"That's right, it's lease. Considering the cost of these farm tools and the quantity and wear and tear that need to be popularized, it is impossible for Daqin to popularize them all for free, so His Majesty proposed the method of renting instead of buying. These farm tools can be rented at a very low price. To go out, you only need a little money every day, and after the Guizhou leaders use it up, they can return it and we will rent it to other people.”

"It's a good idea, but it is estimated that few people would rent this large planter. After all, the arable land of a Qianshou family is only so small, and a small one is enough."

Just as Wang Wan finished speaking, she saw Zhao Shu smile.

"No one may rent a large planter, but I can guarantee that there are definitely many people who are willing to spend money to buy it directly."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Everyone looked sideways. Small planters are not affordable for ordinary Qianshou. Who is so rich and can afford a large planter?
"My lords must know what the advantages of a large planter are, labor-saving, efficient, and almost no manpower is required. You should also know that it is impossible for all Qianshou families to have labor, and some families may even have some lonely old people left , It is difficult for them to use even a small planter, and at this time, they need to spend money to hire someone to help them sow seeds."

"We designed the large planter from the beginning, not for a single household in Guishou. The main purpose is to let those who have a little ability buy it and then use this large planter to Help other Qianshou to sow seeds in order to get paid, and then all he needs to pay is the money to start buying the planter and the money to use the cattle.”

"It's impossible for a planter to last for only one year, so for those Guizhou leaders, buying a large planter is definitely a sure-fire deal."

"Is it still possible?"

After listening to Zhao Shu's narration, everyone was taken aback.

Thinking about it carefully, this method is indeed very perfect.

The cost of a large planter is relatively high, but the efficiency is also very high. As long as someone is willing to buy it, and then others spend money to hire him to help their own family cultivate, it is equivalent to sharing the cost.

This has two advantages. The first is that the cost is shared, and the cattle managed by the government can still receive a batch of usage fees.

The second is that the Guishou people are more efficient in planting seeds, and it also solves the difficulties of those families who really have no labor force.

"Gao, Your Majesty's hand is really high, I admire you!"

All the courtiers were amazed by Ying Zheng's method.

"Okay, you don't have to flatter me anymore, the promotion and manufacture of new farm tools will be handed over to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry for joint management."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and casually issued an order. The establishment of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce was formalized in this way, and the problem of promoting agricultural tools was also solved.

After all these were resolved, Ying Zheng announced the end of the court meeting.

As the representative of the public losers, Gongshuqiu has made so many contributions to Daqin, and finally won the position of Da Sikong.

The purpose of the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce flew out as quickly as if they had grown wings.

Gong Shuqiu became the top figure in Xianyang City overnight.

Of course, apart from the Ministry of Industry, there is another thing that makes everyone in Xianyang City more excited, which is the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce.

Therefore, after hearing the news, the most excited people are those big merchants in Xianyang City.

In just one day, Zhao Shu's threshold for governing Su Neishi was almost leveled. There was an endless stream of businessmen who came to visit, and the gifts alone piled up almost a street.

These people have only one purpose, and that is to seek a position in the Ministry of Commerce.

This position not only means that they have left their status as merchants at the bottom and stepped into the scholar class with half a foot, it is also a great opportunity for them.

Who doesn't know that Daqin has directly made a lot of money by relying on the three major industries of the Qianzhuang Salt Company and the Grain Bank. If they can get a little bit of benefit from it, it will be worth their hard work for most of their lives up.
