Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 380 Lin Xuan talks with Fusu! Fusu is shocked, and the curved plow appears!
When Lin Xuan heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face.

"I did guess that there would be a major battle on the border."

“The food sent to the border this time is corn and potatoes, which is different from the previous food.”

"In the past, the rice and corn that soldiers ate had to be cooked before they could be eaten. So when a large army was on the move, it would inevitably require a supply team to transport rice and corn to follow the army."

"Potatoes and corn are different. Corn and potatoes can be cooked before the army goes out to fight."

"This way the army can carry cooked corn and potatoes with them, and there is nothing to worry about even if the supply team can't keep up."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and explained the advantages of corn and potatoes again.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said. He agreed with his teacher's point of view.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and continued, "The current commander of the border is Han Xin."

"I know Han Xin quite well. He will not be satisfied with just defeating the Xiongnu once."

"Han Xin has strong military capabilities. He knows very well that the Xiongnu are only temporarily unable to attack the border of Qin."

"Once the Xiongnu recover, they will surely attack the cities on the Qin border again."

"Han Xin is not the kind of commander who will sit back and wait for death. He will definitely find a way to proactively attack and resolve the hidden danger of the Xiongnu."

"But if we take the initiative to attack, the army will face the problem of insufficient supply."

"Meng Fang went to the border with corn and potatoes, which just solved this problem for Han Xin."

"Han Xin had seen and understood the advantages of corn and potatoes in Xianyang City. The problem that troubled Han Xin has been solved."

"Han Xin will certainly send troops to attack the Xiongnu. With Wang Ben, a famous general with hundreds of battles under his command, he will lead the army to attack the Xiongnu's lair."

"The Huns will surely suffer heavy losses and be driven out of the plains."

"This way, there will be no more Hun attacks on the border."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

When corn and potatoes were about to be sent to the border, Lin Xuan did think of the main general Han Xin.

Han Xin, the military genius, would not sit idly by and watch the enemy recover their strength.

What Han Xin needs to do is to deliver a fatal blow when the enemy is weak.

Fusu suddenly realized what his teacher Lin Xuan said, and now he completely understood why.

The teacher would tell him in advance that big things would happen at the border so that he could be prepared in advance.

It turned out that his teacher had already thought of Han Xin's intention to launch a war, but the problem of food for the army could not be solved.

The emergence of corn and potatoes solved Han Xin's problem.

“After listening to the teacher’s explanation, the students finally understood the reason.”

"Teacher, it's a pity that you are not in the army."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of emotion on his face.

In Fusu's view, his teacher was also very capable as the commander of the army.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words, "My Lord, you are praising me too much. I only know a little about military affairs."

Fusu smiled when he heard his teacher's words. He was already used to his teacher's modesty.

"Father has issued an order to Li Si, asking him to arrange for people to post notices of a border battle in all cities within the Qin territory."

"Soon the people of Daqin will know about the two new grains, corn and potatoes."

"In this way, the people of Daqin will grow a lot of potatoes and corn."

"In this way, Daqin will no longer have to worry about food shortages."

Fusu looked at his teacher Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

Lin Xuan nodded after hearing Fusu's words, "Young Master is right."

"If it weren't for the great contribution of corn and potatoes in the border battle, the people of Daqin would have doubted their consciences."

"I would still choose to grow rice and corn rather than corn and potatoes."

“Now that the notice has been posted, people will choose to grow corn and potatoes.”

"This way, the variety of food in Daqin will be expanded, not just rice and corn, but also corn and potatoes."

Lin Xuan said this with a smile on his face.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, the more types of grain Daqin has, the better.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said. He had the same idea.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and continued, "Grow corn and potatoes."

"The land needs to be turned over in advance so that corn and potatoes can grow better."

"Don't forget this, young master."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what teacher Lin Xuan said, "Teacher, don't worry."

“Students know that before planting corn and potatoes, they need to turn the land over.”

"Father will also arrange for special officials to inform the people of Daqin of this situation."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and answered.

Hearing Fusu's words, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, "Since we want to turn the land over, we need tools."

"What kind of tools do the people of Daqin use to cultivate the land now?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and told him his problem.

Fusu pondered for a moment, looked up at Lin Xuan and said:
"The people of Daqin used a plow made of wood to cultivate the land."

"This plow can turn the soil over, but it is very heavy."

"It's very difficult to pull it with people, so we need to tie the plow to the oxen."

"Let the ox walk forward, which will drive the plow forward and turn the land over."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and told him the current method used by the people of Qin to cultivate the land.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words, "The wooden plow is so heavy."

“Even with the blessing of cattle, it must be difficult to plough the land.”

"Besides, not every family can own a cow."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and pointed out the disadvantages of this method.

Fusu nodded when he heard Lin Xuan's words, "The teacher is right."

“The wooden plow is indeed very heavy, and it is difficult to plow the land even with the help of an ox.”

"As for the cattle needed for farming, most people buy one cattle together with several families."

"This cow is used by these families together, which will cause a lot of trouble."

"These people all want to own their own land, so they use cattle to plow the land first."

"This led to many arguments and even fights."

“Every time we plow the land, this happens.”

Fusu said this with a hint of helplessness on his lips.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. He knew that Fusu was telling the truth.

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, it is not allowed to kill cattle at will.

You can only eat beef when the cow dies of old age.

The price of a cow was very expensive in Daqin, and few people could afford it.

Therefore, most of the farming people would pool their efforts together to buy a cow.

"Teacher just said that the notice should be posted behind the city walls of Daqin."

“There will be more people planting potatoes and corn.”

"This makes arable land a problem, and if this problem is not solved properly it will cause some trouble."

Fusu said, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

The emergence of corn and potatoes brought many benefits to Daqin, but also brought a trouble to Daqin, but this trouble made people helpless.

When Lin Xuan heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face:
"Sir, if I can find a way to make farming easier for the farmers."

"Can a shorter time solve this trouble?"

Fusu, feeling a little helpless, looked up at his teacher when he heard Lin Xuan's words.

"Teacher, are you saying that you have a way to solve this kind of trouble?"

Fusu said with excitement on his face.

"I thought of this problem when I provided you with corn and potatoes."

“Growing corn and potatoes requires more land.”

"In this case, we need to cultivate land, but the tools used to cultivate land in Daqin are very common now."

"I have been researching for some time and finally developed a tool that can plow the land faster."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

"New tools?"

When Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, there was a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly reacted.

"Teacher, what is this new tool you mentioned? Let the students see it!"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with excitement on his face.

His teacher actually developed a tool that could turn the soil faster. Fusu was very surprised to hear the news.

With a smile on his face, Lin Xuan took out a drawing from his sleeve and placed it in front of Fusu.

Fusu quickly picked up the drawing and looked at the pattern on it.

"The pattern on the blueprint you see is what I call a curved plow."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and said the name of the pattern on the drawing.

Some time ago, Lin Xuan received a reward from the system and wanted to tell Fusu about the curved plow.

However, Fusu had important matters to attend to, so Lin Xuan did not mention the Quyuanli to distract Fusu's attention.

Now the border is safe, and the Huns have been defeated and driven out of the plains by Han Xin and Wang Ben.

Daqin will plant corn and potatoes next, and now is the perfect time for him to take out the curved plow.

Fusu looked at the patterns on the blueprint carefully, although he did not understand the tools for farming.

But when looking at the content above, Fusu was still very surprised.

The pattern on this drawing is drawn very carefully.

"Teacher, can you tell the students about the curved plow on this drawing?"

Fusu gently placed the drawing on the stone table in front of him and looked at his teacher Lin Xuan with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu who seemed to be studying, with a smile on his face.

"The curved plow I mentioned is very different from an ordinary plow."

"Ordinary plows are very heavy and difficult to pull with human strength, so they can only be pulled by oxen."

"The curved plow is different. It reduces the weight of the plow."

“This way, even a human can easily pull the plow and plow the land.”

"If there were oxen, the speed would be much faster if they were pulling the curved plow."

"This will increase the speed of ploughing the land, and even those who don't have oxen can still pull the curved plow to plough the land by themselves."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and pointed out the advantages of the curved plow.

When Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, his face showed excitement.

When he was looking at the drawing of the curved plow just now, he found that there was a big difference in appearance between the curved plow and the ordinary plow.

Now he understood that the difference was so big because the curved plow was much lighter than an ordinary plow.

"Teacher, your curved plow is very important to the people who cultivate the land. This will prevent many quarrels and fights over farming."

Fusu said this with a smile on his face.

He also admired his teacher even more in his heart, because his teacher solved a difficult problem for him so easily.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu who was very excited and said with a smile: "The curved plow is not only much lighter than the ordinary plow."

"There is also a big difference in the plowshares. The plowshares of ordinary plows are made of wood."

"This way, when the plow hits the ground, it will encounter some resistance when turning the soil."

"The speed of plowing will also slow down, but the curved plow is different."

"The plowshare of a curved plow is made of iron. When the plowshare of a curved plow hits the ground, it will move."

“It will be very easy to turn the soil, which will make plowing faster and easier.”

"The iron plowshare needed to make a curved plow is also very simple and can be made in any blacksmith shop in Daqin."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and once again mentioned the advantages of the curved plow.

When Fusu heard Lin Xuan's words, he looked at the drawing in front of him. Sure enough, the color of the plowshare pattern was completely black.

When Fusu saw this scene just now, he still had some doubts, but now he completely understood it.

The plowshare of a curved plow is not made of wood, but of iron.

It is lighter than an ordinary plow and the plowshare is also made of iron.

In this way, even if the people did not have cattle, they could rely on people to use the curved plow to plow the land.

"Teacher, you have really opened my eyes today. This is the first time I have seen such an excellent curved plow."

Fusu said this with a look of emotion on his face, every time he thought he understood his teacher.

The teacher always gave him unexpected surprises, and this time the curved plow was one of them.

Although the curved plow may seem like just a tool for tilling the land, it is very important to the people.

With the curved plow, not only would the speed of plowing the land be accelerated, but it would also provide convenience for people who did not have cows.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's praise, "The curved plow has another advantage."

"This advantage is what I am most satisfied with, and it is something that ordinary plows do not have."

"Another advantage?"

When Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The two advantages the teacher just mentioned had already shocked him.

In Fusu's opinion, the curved plow mentioned by his teacher was already very good.

Unexpectedly, the curved plow had a third advantage, which shocked Fusu again.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu, who was surprised, and said, "When plowing the land."

“The plow needed to be turned and turned frequently, even with the oxen pulling.”

"It takes time and effort to turn and turn a conventional plow."

"The curved plow is different. The plowshare can be turned at any time."

"When plowing the land, you need to turn the plow and turn the direction. You can move the plowshare again to plow the land."

"This will save effort and time, which is also very important for the people."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and pointed out the third advantage of the curved plow.

Fusu was shocked again when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and it took him a while to react.

Looking at the drawing in front of him, he saw that the plowshare indeed could rotate.

Fusu could never have imagined that one day he would be able to see a plowshare turning.

This is the best farming tool for the people.

"Teacher, I have an idea!"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and his expression became serious!
