Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

[In a few words, after deciding to let Xirong and Beidi pay tribute to the cattle farming, the crown prince Fusu's eyes fell on the cultivation just now. 】

[Thinking of the group of peasant children just now, one of them was holding a rake in front of him to open a ditch, and the other was following behind to sow seeds and sow seeds. 】

[Then Prince Fusu picked up the branch again and sketched left and right on the ground, and it didn't take long for everyone to see Prince Fusu sketching a strange instrument with one leg on the ground. 】.

[Then the prince Fusu looked up at Zhang Han beside him and ordered: "Go and find the Mo family disciples of the Ministry of Industry for Lone, let them bring tools, Lone needs them to develop a new tool.] "】

[Zhang Han immediately received the order, and then turned his head and asked a Chinese scholar behind him to pass on the edict. 】

[Seeing this, Xu Zi on the side couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what kind of instrument is this?"]

[Prince Fusu replied simply: "Let's name this thing a cocoon."] "】

["Just now, I saw that one of you is digging a ditch in front and one is sowing seeds in the back, which is inconvenient, so I am thinking about whether I can use one tool to complete the work of both at the same time. "】

[Then Prince Fusu pointed to the design sketches on the ground and explained one by one: "This is the cocoon frame, which is mainly responsible for supporting the ~ frame of the entire cocoon car. "】

["This is a cocoon, mainly used to hold seeds. "-】

["This is the cocoon leg, and the hollow leg communicates with the cocoon, mainly so that the seeds in the cocoon bucket go down the cocoon leg into the soil. "】

["This is a cocoon shovel, which is mainly to dig a ditch and sow seeds on the leveled land, and at the same time carry out mulching and suppression......"]

[In this case, as long as there is a person or an animal in front of the car, and someone behind is supporting the cart, the ditching and planting can be completed at the same time. "】

["Compared with the original ditching and sowing, it should save a lot of time and effort. "】

[Hearing the general explanation of the prince Fusu, the children of the peasant families present, including Xu Xing, were all dazzled. 】

[Again, they have been farming for almost a lifetime, although many things may be due to the authorities' obsession, they did not think that they could make such a thing to assist their own farming. 】

[But when Prince Fusu brought it up, with their years of practical experience in farming, they almost instantly realized that the matter of the car told by Prince Fusu was feasible. 】

[So the peasant children present were not ready to wait for the children of the Mo family, when they couldn't wait to start their own hands, ready to make one by themselves according to the style of the cocoon car that the prince Fusu said. 】

[However, it is a pity that the ability of the peasant children in the production of utensils is not as good as that of the professional Mo family children, and they do not have professional production tools at hand. 】

[So before the arrival of the Mo family's children, Xu Zi and other peasant children did not make a truly usable cocoon car. 】

[Wait until Xiang Liji, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, comes here with a group of Mo family children, and after listening to Prince Fusu's idea of a cocoon. 】

[Even when the children of the Mo family who showed everyone what it means to specialize in research and invent equipment, in less than a moment, the first car that seemed to be ready for use had been made!]

["In a hurry to come out, we didn't have a suitable piece of iron on our bodies, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it is best to use iron to make this point, and it can't be perfected for the time being. "】

["However, the part of the cocoon shovel has been deliberately sharpened, and if it is used in a short time, the efficiency should be not much different from that of the iron cocoon shovel. "】

["Now for the time being, you can use it to verify whether this cocoon is available, and if it is available, we will go back to the Ministry of Industry to specialize in the production of iron cocoon shovels that need to be used. "】

[Xiang Li Ji took a car that had just been made and introduced. 】

[Prince Fusu nodded, saying that he could try this practice first. 】

[So a group of peasant children who couldn't wait for a long time picked up the cocoon cart and loaded the cocoon with seeds. 】

[Then one person imitates the ploughing ox in front of the traction, and the other person is in the back to support the cocoon to dig the ditch and sow the seeds.] 】

[Although at the beginning of the use of the cocoon, due to the lack of skill, the ditch opened by the cocoon car was deep and shallow at once. 】

[But the children of the peasant family are worthy of being the children of the peasant family, and they also showed the children of the Mo family their experience and ability in professional research and cultivation for decades. 】

[In just a short period of time, the two peasant children in charge of the demonstration became proficient in the use of the cocoon car. 】

[After that, the onlookers saw that the two peasant children in charge of the demonstration were sowing seeds at an almost rapid speed, and soon finished sowing a large area. 】

[At the same time, another group of peasant children followed the back of the columb, turning out all the seeds sown by the columb, trying to see if the sowing was qualified. 】

[After half an hour had passed, the farmer's child who was in charge of demonstrating the use of the cocoon ran back with an excited face and replied: "The cocoon is no problem, it is very simple and light to use it to open ditches and plant seeds!"]

["With this cocoon cart, even if there is no livestock traction, relying on human traction alone, it is enough for two people to sow ten acres of fields a day!"]

["If there are cattle and other livestock to pull, I estimate that it is not a big problem for one person and one ox to sow twenty or thirty acres of fields a day!"]

[The farmer's child, who was in charge of checking whether the sowing was qualified, also ran back with an excited face and replied: "Except for the seeds that were sown at the beginning, the seeds sown are not qualified because they are not very skilled. "】

["The seeds sown after a while are basically qualified. "】

["And compared to our previous manual sowing, the seeds sown by the cocoon are more evenly spaced and reasonable. "】

["I strongly recommend that we plant this summer, and we will officially use the cocoon to sow seeds!"]

[Hearing the answers of the peasant children who used the cocoon and checked the sowing, even King Yingzheng of Qin, who had been listening, was stunned. 】

[Although he didn't know how many acres of fields ordinary people could sow in a day, he also knew it in the process of auditing just now. 】

[If it is according to the previous one person in front of the ditch with a rake, and one person follows behind to sow the seeds. 】

[Two people, at the end of the day, probably dig a ditch and sow two acres of fields to about three or four acres of fields. 】

[And the cocoon car invented by Prince Fusu just now directly increased the efficiency of ditching and sowing by three or four times!]

[If one of the manpower can be replaced by ploughing oxen, then the efficiency of ditching and sowing will be nearly ten times higher!]

[No, no, no, this also saves a manpower, if this manpower can also be used to dig ditches and sow seeds with ploughing oxen and columbian carts. 】

[Then the same two manpower, after using ploughing oxen and cocoon carts, the efficiency of ditching and sowing can be nearly increased to twenty times!]

[Twenty times more efficient, how much more cultivated land can be cultivated by the Qin State!]

[There is a trivia that the current Qin State, or the other six countries, is not actually short of land. 】

[After all, during the entire Warring States Period, the total population of the people of Qianshou was only about 30 million. 】

[Logically speaking, even if all these 30 million people were knighted and given land, it would be calculated based on the area of land occupied by the current Qin State and the other six countries. 】

[Even if a considerable part of the land is occupied by the nobles and ministers, there should still be a considerable amount of land that can be used to reward the soldiers. 】

[Why is there no land to reward soldiers who have made military achievements?]

[The fundamental reason is that many other lands are wasteland, and these wastelands can only be slowly turned into a field that can be used for cultivation after painstaking cultivation and care. 】

[Wasteland and cultivable fields are two different things. 】

[Otherwise, if it's just wasteland, why should the soldiers of the Qin State need to be rewarded by the Qin State, they can find a piece of wasteland by themselves and then go to reclaim it.] 】

[For the reclamation of wasteland, the Qin State is very encouraged. 】

As long as you reclaim a piece of wasteland, then this wasteland is yours. 】

[It's just that compared to spending two or three years of time and energy on your own, or even three or five years of time and energy, you can turn a wasteland into an arable field. 】

[What the soldiers of the Qin State want more are those cultivated fields, after all, it is enough to save several years of work. 】

[And now with the cocoon cart, if there is a large number of cultivated cattle, then the efficiency of the Qin State in reclaiming wasteland can be increased by nearly twenty times. 】

[In this way, for a long time in the future, the Qin State will not have to worry about having no land to distribute to those soldiers who have made military achievements. 】

[The disadvantages of the military merit system mentioned by Prince Fusu and Qin Wang Yingzheng before, Qin Wang Yingzheng also kept it in mind, and also privately thought about how to solve the future disadvantages of the military merit system. 】

[Although he has not come up with a sufficient solution to the military merit system for the time being, at least from the cocoon car invented by the prince Fusu and the promotion of ox farming, improving the cultivation efficiency of the common people of Qianshou. 】

[He saw a palliative solution, that is, as long as I cultivated enough land, then I could always have a reward for cultivating the land. 】

[In a blink of an eye, King Yingzheng of Qin has already decided to let the officials of Qin State vigorously promote the use of cocoon cars. 】

[As for the ploughing cattle, it is not too late to go back and wait for Xirong and Beidi to pay tribute to the ploughing cattle. 】

[Just when King Yingzheng of Qin was thinking so, Xiang Li Ji, who had been busy there with other Mo family disciples since the first cocoon car was made, also raised his head and said, "Sow ten acres of fields a day?"

["How can you do it with so little!"]

["Wouldn't it make people laugh at our Mo family's incompetence when it is passed on!"]

["Try these two cocoons, we have added a few new legs on the basis of the cocoon designed by His Royal Highness the Prince. "】

["For the time being, let's name it a two-legged cocoon, a three-legged cocoon, and a four-legged cocoon."] "】

0 ······· Asking for flowers0 ···

["The method of use is the same as before, but you can open two, three, and four furrows at the same time, and sow two, three, and four seeds at the same time. "】

["If there is no problem with these cocoons, at least the efficiency of ditching and sowing can be increased by about two, three, or four times. "】

[Looking at Xiang Liji, and the two-legged cocoon, three-legged cocoon, and four-legged cocoon in the hands of other Mo family children, whether it was Qin Wang Yingzheng or other peasant children, they were all slightly stunned. 】

[Then the next moment, a group of Mo family disciples, including Xu Zi, immediately pounced on and grabbed one of the cocoon cars, and then went to the test. 】

[And Xiang Liji and other Mo family children continue to make five-legged cocoons, six-legged cocoons, and even seven-legged cocoons, etc., wanting to increase the efficiency of the cocoons by ten times on the basis of the efficiency of the cocoons. 】

[Either their Mo family doesn't do it, or if they want to do it, they have to improve the efficiency as much as possible, this is their Mo family's style!]

[Another hour passed, Xu Zi and other peasant children tested the one-legged cocoon to the ten-legged cocoon made by Xiang Liji and other Mo family children. 】

[In the end, it was concluded that if it was human traction, then the two-legged cocoon was the most evenly sown, and the three-legged cocoon was relatively the most efficient.] 】

[However, if you go up to a three-legged cocoon or more, such as a four-legged cocoon car, then it will be more laborious to rely solely on manual traction.] 】

[At this time, unless you use ploughing cattle to pull it, it will not be practical.] 】

[And even if it is pulled by ploughing oxen, it is best to use a four-legged cocoon cart. 】

[If the four-legged cart is exceeded, although the ploughing ox in front can still be towed, the person who is responsible for supporting the cart in the back will be more troublesome to control, and it is also not very practical. 】

[So in the end, I came to a conclusion, that is, if it is pulled by manpower, it is most suitable to use a two-legged cocoon to a three-legged cocoon.] 】

[If it is a migration of livestock, then a four-legged cocoon is the most suitable. 】

[Although it was not as Xiang Liji and other Mo family children thought, on the basis of the original one-foot cocoon car, the efficiency was increased tenfold again. 】

[However, with the current three-legged carts, four-legged carts, and cattle and other livestock as traction, then the cultivation efficiency is even enough to reach the level of one hectare per day!]

[One hectare of land is planted every day, that is a hundred acres of land planted every day!]

[Compared with the current efficiency of planting two or three acres of fields a day, the sowing efficiency of using cocoon carts and ploughing cattle is simply terrifying!]

[Qin Wang Yingzheng looked at the two-legged cocoon, three-legged cocoon, and four-legged cocoon in front of him, and his eyes were full of disbelief. 】

[But Xu Zi and other peasant children patted their chests and assured that Qin Wang Yingzheng had to believe that the small cocoon in front of him, with the ploughing ox, really had such a terrifying sowing efficiency. 】

[Looking at the cocoon in front of him, King Yingzheng of Qin seemed to see a large number of fields that would be cultivated and sown in the future. 】

[To put it bluntly, if the person who invented the cocoon car is not the crown prince Fusu, then others are eligible to obtain a knighthood in the Qin State just by virtue of the cocoon in front of them!]

[The method of obtaining the title of Qin, in addition to the awarding of knighthoods for military merits, is also a way to obtain additional knighthoods through the invention of tools, but there are only a few people who can obtain them. 】

[In this regard, the Qin State also encouraged the research of instruments. 】

[But the person who invented the cocoon car was Prince Fusu, and it is clear that Prince Fusu does not need the so-called title reward. 】

[As for the children of the Mo family who helped transform the idea of the crown prince Fusu into real things, although they also have merit, this credit is not enough for them to be knighted because of this. 】

[But if you don't reward it, it also violates the principle that the Qin State must be rewarded for meritorious service and punished for mistakes.] 】

[So after thinking about it slightly, King Yingzheng of Qin also spoke: "The officials of the Ministry of Industry have made meritorious work in making cocoon cars, and each person will be rewarded with ten stones of rice and ten catties of meat, and I hope that the Ministry of Industry will continue to develop more convenient appliances for Daqin!"]

["The officials of the Ministry of Agriculture also have merit in practicing the cocoon, and each person will be rewarded with one stone of rice and one pound of meat, and the widow expects you to study more methods that will help increase the grain production of the people of Qianshou. "】

["But if you have something, the widow will not hesitate to reward the title!"

[The children of the Mo family of the Ministry of Industry and the children of the peasant family of the Ministry of Agriculture, who were rewarded by King Yingzheng of Qin, all bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you for your reward!"

[Then the children of the Mo family and the children of the peasant family who got up all had smiles on their faces. 】

[Although they don't care much about these rewards, it's one thing they don't care, and if the lord of Qin doesn't take the initiative to give them, that's another thing. 】

[If King Yingzheng of Qin takes the initiative to reward them, they will naturally feel very happy, after all, this feeling of being affirmed and rewarded is still very happy. 】

.........

PS1: After the invention of the cocoon car, one hectare was planted every day, that is, a hundred acres of land were sown.
