Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Nanjun?"

"Not bad!"

Zhao Che nodded, and then started popularizing science for Ying Zheng.

"South County has a flat terrain and hot and humid climate. If potatoes are planted here, the maturity rate and yield will be higher than previously expected."

"Secondly, South County has just suffered from floods. After a year of hard work, the heads of Guizhou have basically died of all the crops they planted. This leaves a large area of ​​wasteland."

"Finally, Dad, didn't you put in a lot of effort when Nanjun was flooded? Compared to now, Nanjun already has a good impression of us. If you take out potatoes at this time, you will definitely conquer Nanjun!"

"In the future, Nanjun will most likely become our biggest base against Qin!"

……

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhao Che to think so far.

From the climate, terrain, and even people's hearts are taken into account.

In this way, Nanjun is indeed the most suitable place to promote the cultivation of potatoes.

"Okay, then I will listen to you. After I go back, I will transport all the potatoes from your place to Nanjun to promote planting!"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Wait, I have a question."

At this moment, Meng Yi suddenly stood up.

"Oh? Uncle Meng, tell me!"

"How many acres of land can be planted with 20 shi of potatoes? Although the flood in South County has temporarily subsided, the follow-up reconstruction work will require a lot of manpower and cattle. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find so many people for a while?"

"No, planting potatoes is very simple. 20 stone potatoes can be planted in a few days."

"Impossible, even if you mobilize the entire South County's Qianshou, it must not be so fast. What's more, the previous land in South County has been flooded. If you want to plant, you have to reclaim the land. You can't get so many cattle!"

Meng Yi supported the forehead, and cattle have always been more expensive in ancient times.

Among the laws of the Qin Dynasty, there are many regulations on the protection of cattle. It can be said that cattle in this period are more precious than people.

There are only a few farming cattle in the whole South County now, and 20 shi of potatoes are needed to grow potatoes. Even Yingzheng will not be able to produce so many cattle for the arable land in a short while.

"Isn't it just that there are no farming cattle? I thought it was a big deal."

Zhao Che rolled his eyes and said.

"Isn't that a big deal? How can we reclaim wasteland without cattle? Do you know how much effort it takes to reclaim an acre of land?"

"One mu of land? How much effort will it take? I can cultivate it in less than an hour."

"I do not believe!"

Meng Yi shook his head without thinking.

Seeing this, Zhao Che didn't argue, and stood up to signal Ying Zheng and the others to follow him.

"Yinhu, come here!"

When the group came to the backyard, Zhao Che called out to Yinhu who was planting potatoes.

"Here comes the young master, I have met Mr.!"

Yinhu threw down the potato seeds in his hand, and ran over in a hurry, ignoring the dirt on his body.

"Come on, tell my dad how long it will take you to plow an acre of land?"

Hearing Zhao Che's question, Yinhu became agitated immediately, thought about it for a while, and replied.

"Mr. Hui, if I do it myself, I don't need to plow cattle, and it takes about half an hour to plow an acre of land."

"What? Half an hour? Still don't want to farm cattle?"

When Meng Yi heard this, he suddenly screamed.

"Yinhu, aren't you making fun of me? How can you not use cattle to plow the land? The speed is still so fast?"

"Hey, Mr. Meng, it's all thanks to the thing called Quyuanli invented by the young master."

"Quyuanli? What is this?"

Compared with Meng Yi, Ying Zheng was much calmer, because he knew that Zhao Che was not the kind of big talker.

Now it seems that the reason why Zhao Che is so confident is probably because of that Qu Yuanli.

"Okay, Yinhu, go get busy, I'll explain to Dad and the others."

Zhao Che waved his hand to signal Yinhu to leave, and then led a few people to the small shed on the top of the vegetable field.

Opening the door, there are all kinds of farm tools, many of which Ying Zheng and the others don't even know what they do.

Zhao Che went straight into the room, and after a while took out a Quyuanli with a strange shape.

"This is the Quyuanli you invented?"

"Not bad!"

"Can this thing really replace the cattle? Can it also speed up the speed of plowing the land?"

"Naturally, the Quyuan plow is much less labor-intensive than the old-fashioned plow used before Daqin. There is no need to plow an ox at all. It can be used by one person, and the speed is extremely fast, and the effect is very good!"

As Zhao Che said, holding the Quyuanli in his hand, he found a small piece of land to demonstrate to several people.

"God, with this god, Daqin will not have to worry about plowing the land in the future.

There are no more farming cattle. If it can be promoted, the efficiency of farming in the future will be greatly accelerated. This thing is related to the foundation of agriculture! "

Ying Zheng's face turned red from being too excited.

He knew that Zhao Che would never let him down, and that the Quyuanli he took out at random would allow Daqin's agriculture to develop by leaps and bounds.

"How about dad? With this Quyuanli, it should be much more convenient for you to plant potatoes on a large scale in Nanjun. The time before Qin Shihuang's death is not long. During this time, we will vigorously develop agriculture. Let’s work on the logistics!”

Zhao Che's last words were directly ignored by Ying Zheng.

"Father, I still want to remind you about something. Once this Quyuanli is taken out, it will definitely be noticed by Daqin, so you have to be careful when the time comes!"

"You mean, let me temporarily hide the news of Qu Yuanli? It is only used on a small scale in South County?"

Ying Zheng was displeased. Zhao Che's actions, in his opinion, were somewhat selfish.

"Of course not. What I mean is that you have to hide Qu Yuanli's origin and don't expose me. As for Qu Yuanli's casting blueprint, I wish I could offer it to Da Qin."

"Why is this? Don't you want to oppose Qin? Are you willing to dedicate this kind of fetish related to the foundation of agriculture to Da Qin?"

Now Ying Zheng couldn't understand what Zhao Che was thinking.

"What we want to oppose is Daqin. What does it have to do with the people of Guizhou in Daqin? What's more, this Quyuanli will be promoted sooner or later. While Daqin is still there, wouldn't it be good for them to help us promote it?"

"Also, father, you imagined Daqin to be too powerful. It seems that Daqin is calm now, but in fact it's all because Qin Shihuang is still alive. When he dies, this huge Daqin will be in Molu."

"What we are doing now is just to save the head of Qin and Guizhou from suffering from the chaos of war. As for the world, you don't need to worry, Qin Ershi will come up and send it himself."
