Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Fusu finally didn't have to endure this kind of bumpy ride anymore. If he had known how bumpy this thing was, he might as well have asked Zhongchou to drive him over in the Qinhuang.

"The old farmer pays his respects to His Majesty, the champion, and all your lords!"

As soon as Fusu and Zhao Che got out of the car, a hale and hearty old man hurried over with someone and hurriedly saluted Fusu, Zhao Che and others.

"Free gift!"

Fusu waved his hand, signaling the old farmer to get up.

"Your Majesty, the little old man is Li Zhengyi Xinghuai from the village!"

Li Zheng took the initiative to introduce his name and identity.

He was still a little panicked at the moment, well, His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor and Champion Hou appeared together in such a small village, and there were even many high officials that he would never see.

Even though this village is very close to Xianyang City, it doesn't mean that the Qianshou in this village are all people who have seen big scenes.

"Champion Marquis, why are you here? Go and explain to them. I'll go and rest for a while!"

Fu Su waved his hand, handed over the right to speak to Zhao Che, and then ran to the car to rest.

When he got off the car just now, he felt a pain in his stomach, and he almost lost his composure in front of so many people.

After Fusu went back, the first thing he did was to send someone to inform Zhongqiu, and asked him to drive over to pick him up in the Qin Huang.

It would be really unbearable if he was still riding a tractor when he went back.

And Zhao Che didn't care about Fusu's state, turned his head to look at Lizheng and asked.

"Old man, how is the spring plowing in your village going?"

"Reporting to Champion, it rained in the village yesterday, and today the people in the village are plowing the ground. After the rain, the land will be well plowed. I guess it will take a few days for all the seeds to be sown!"

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Zhao Che nodded, and then continued to ask.

"Then did you encounter any difficulties in farming in your village?"

"Is it difficult? Yes, it is!"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, in front of Zhao Che, he didn't need to tell lies.

What's more, he is an old man with half a foot in the coffin, so there is no need to say anything nice.

"Thanks to the Quyuan plow invented by the former Champion Hou, the plowing speed is much faster now, but the young people in the village have all gone to work in Xianyang City, so there are fewer people in the village!"

"And then, there are only a few farm cattle in the village. There are so many people that are definitely not enough. The cattle have to rest, which will definitely delay a little time!"

"The rest is fine!"

……

What Li Zheng said is actually not a big problem, it should be said that it is very common.

After all, the lack of rural labor force in Daqin is an obvious problem. Officials at all levels will not force the young and middle-aged labor force to stay in their hometown in order to show their achievements.

Although Quyuanli is easy to use, it requires two people to cooperate with each other, and it still needs to rely on manpower, which is quite difficult for the old people in the village.

After a day of farming, the efficiency may not be very high, so some spring plowing progress will definitely be delayed.

Fortunately, Daqin's breeding industry is now well developed, such as farming cattle are not so scarce now.

But no matter how many cattle there are, it doesn't mean that every household can afford to raise cattle, it's just that there are many more cattle than before.

In the past, there might only be a dozen or twenty cattle in a county, which is considered too much.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to apply for farming cattle. They can only wait for the county magistrate to allocate them to a certain booth, and then everyone will take turns to use them.

Now there may be more than a dozen cattle in a village, but no matter how few people there are in a village, there are hundreds of households, and it takes two or three days to take turns to use them.

In addition, cattle also need to rest, and it is impossible to work all the time, so the agricultural efficiency of Daqin has been greatly improved compared with before, but compared with what Zhao Che expected, there is still a big gap .

"Old man, in fact, we came here today to help you plow in the spring!"

Zhao Che directly stated the purpose of his trip, and when there Zheng heard it, he immediately looked surprised, and then waved his hands again and again!

"Champion, what a noble status you are, how can you do the same work as us old farmers in the fields?"

"Also, although there are not many young people in the village now, it is much better than before. We used to have people who were exhausted every spring plowing every year. Unlike now, we can plow the land in just a few days!"
"The main reason is that the imperial court has been encouraging the reclamation of wasteland these years. The farmland reclaimed by each household is much more than before, so it will only delay a few days, but don't worry, the old man, I will guarantee it with my life, within three days The farmland in the village will definitely be completed!"

……

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Zhao Che couldn't laugh or cry.

It is estimated that he thought that he disliked their plowing speed too slowly, and wanted to urge them, or came here for a show or something.

But Zhao Che didn't blame Li Zheng, but pointed at Gou Chen and Bai Ze beside him and said.

"Old man, have you seen these two machines, one is called Gouchen and the other is called Baize!"

"Gouchen is a machine to help you plow the land. It doesn't need manpower at all, and it doesn't need oxen. The speed is faster than that of oxen. You need to plow the land for a few days. Gouchen only needs a stick of incense. It will be done!"

"The other one is called Bai Ze, which is used for sowing seeds. Like Gou Chen, it doesn't need to rely on manpower and cattle. The work it can do in a day is dozens or hundreds of times that of yours!"

……

Hearing Zhao Che's words, and seeing Gou Chen and Bai Ze's mighty and gigantic figures, Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in disbelief.

"Champion Marquis, what you said is true? Are Gou Chen and Bai Ze really that powerful? Could they be divine beasts?"

Zhao Che smiled.

"This is not some divine beast. This is the latest agricultural machinery developed by our Daqin Military Machine Department. Besides Gou Chen and Bai Ze, there are others!"

"This time we are here, first to help you plow and sow seeds, and second to test the practicality of Gouchen and Baize. After they are all tested, Daqin can mass produce them!"

"Moreover, there will be more machines like Gochen Baize coming out in the future. When the time comes, we will be farming in Guizhou, from plowing and fertilizing to the final harvest, and we will not need to rely on manpower. We will all rely on these machines to work!"
