In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

Han Fei nodded: "How much food can this acre produce?"

"This... is hard to say, but it is definitely not low."

The farmer scratched his head and didn't know how much to say, so he could only speak vaguely.

Previously, the average grain output in Lantian County was one and a half dan per mu, and the higher yield was no more than 2 dan per mu.

According to the Qin system, one stone was equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms, but in fact it was only about sixty kilograms in later generations.

But now they can look at the rice grown in an acre of land without weighing it, and they know that the yield is definitely much more than one and a half stones.

Han Fei also knew that this kind of arithmetic problem was really difficult for these farmers, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After returning to his residence, Han Fei immediately wrote a letter and asked the Shadow Secret Guard to pass the letter back to Ying Zheng.

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng received a secret message from the Shadow Guard, and his face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

Ge Nie, who was standing behind Ying Zheng, was still a little confused.

He just came back from Gui Valley not long ago, and he didn't know much about what happened in Qin recently. He just heard some rumors.

Ying Zheng deliberately kept it secret and did not tell Gai Nie.

"Go, send someone to bring a message to Mr. Bai Yuan. I would like to invite him to Lantian County tomorrow to see the magnificent scenery."

"In addition, summon all civil and military officials to go together tomorrow."

With the secret letter sent by Han Fei, Ying Zheng felt a lot more proud, so he planned to open the eyes of these self-proclaimed heroes of the Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, Bai Mansion, Bai Yuan and the old guy Gong Shuqiu are debugging a new large-scale mechanism.

Although Gong Shuqiu was sent by Ying Zheng to help Zheng Guo build a canal, he had specially designed a new machine beast for this purpose, and arranged for people to produce it and train pilots who could control the machine beast, so in fact there Nothing happened to him.

So Bai Yuan had people call Gongshuqiu back more than a month ago, and then he pulled Gongshuqiu to design a new mechanism.

It has to be said that the public has two tools to lose its grudges.

Relying on Bai Yuan's dictation, it took Gongshu Qiu a few days to recreate it. Oh no, he invented the curved shaft plow, which once again added the wings of art to history.

The large-scale mechanism they are debugging now is a harvesting machine used to harvest mature crops.

This mechanism has the shape of a car and requires three people to control it at the same time. One person controls the direction and two people control the mechanism arms to harvest the crops and stack them neatly in the large box behind the vehicle.

After multiple versions of testing, this version is already the most efficient one Gongshuqiu has ever produced.

Even Bai Yuan sighed when he saw it: "The machine skills are awesome!"

Black technology is black technology and it makes no sense at all.

Bai Yuan felt that with these things, Da Qin was already far ahead in terms of agriculture.

After a few years of accumulation, even relying on basic national strength can overwhelm other countries.

"Although there is still room for improvement, it is sufficient at this stage."

Bai Yuan counted the time and gently patted the huge mechanism in front of him.

Gong Shuqiu also wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master Bai Yuan, don't you need to continue to improve?"

"No need, after all, this thing will come in handy soon."

Bai Yuan smiled mysteriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xi came over and told him that someone was coming from the palace.

Bai Yuan immediately asked Yun Xi to bring the people in.

As soon as the chamberlain came in and saw Bai Yuan, he bowed first and then told Ying Zheng's original words: "Mr. Bai Yuan, the king invites you to go to Lantian County tomorrow to see the spectacular scenery."

Bai Yuan nodded: "I understand, I will go there tomorrow."

After receiving the response, the chamberlain immediately went back to resume his duties.

Bai Yuan looked at the leaving figure of the chamberlain and smiled slightly.

He had expected this day.

Bai Yuan took out the seeds of [Weakened Spirit Valley], so he naturally knew its maturity date.

He has seen this kind of "grand scene" many times in Shenyun Space, and he has no expectations for it.

However, Bai Yuan has some expectations for the performance of Ying Zheng and others.

The plan he gave Ying Zheng only stated what to do and how it should be done, but he did not say how amazing the output of this spiritual valley was.

Ying Zheng is also very vague about this concept.

So tomorrow's scene will definitely be interesting, and maybe Bai Yuan will be able to see Ying Zheng's jaw dropped.

Gong Shuqiu looked at Bai Yuan standing there laughing, but he was confused.

"I've also heard that there seems to be a strange scene in Lantian County? Your Majesty, did you invite me to see the scene of fireflies in the middle of the night?"

"Of course not? Remember what I just told you, right? You have to take this big guy with me to Lantian County tomorrow. It's time for them to come in handy."

Bai Yuan pointed at the Warring States version of the harvester and warned Gong Shuqiu.

Gong Shuqiu was thoughtful, rubbed his hands and nodded.

"It seems that the King and the Master have done something big in Lantian County! I am also looking forward to it!"

Chapter 466: The Qin Bumpkin, it is not a problem to increase it tenfold

The next day, outside Lantian County.

Han Fei brought a group of elite Da Qin soldiers here in advance to wait for Ying Zheng's arrival.

They didn't wait long before they saw dust rising in the distance. A group of Da Qin armored cavalry opened the way, followed by a group of Da Qin black armored troops running forward, holding halberds.

Then came the carriages.

One of the carriages was particularly eye-catching, luxuriously decorated and unusual in appearance. Ying Zheng was sitting in this carriage.

The person driving the car was Gai Nie, who was responsible for guarding Ying Zheng.

Han Fei straightened his clothes, waited until the carriage stopped, stepped forward and saluted respectfully and waited.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng stepped out of the carriage and nodded.

"Get up!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng looked around again and frowned slightly.

"Mr. Baiyuan hasn't arrived yet?"

After hearing this, Han Fei shook his head slightly: "Uncle Bai Yuan may still be on the way."

"Then just wait!"

When the civil and military officials present heard what Ying Zheng said, many of them had shocked expressions on their faces.

Only the ministers are asked to wait for the king. How can a king stoop down and wait for his ministers?

What's more, Bai Yuan is not even a Qin Chen.

This kind of honor is truly unenviable.

But everyone present also knew that the affairs in Lantian County were inseparable from Bai Yuan, so Ying Zheng must wait for Bai Yuan to come over.

And as ministers, they can only stay here with them.

A group of people stood here for about half an hour. Most of them were sweating from the heat, and many people even began to complain in their hearts.

Even Ying Zheng was a little confused. Logically speaking, Bai Yuan should not have arrived at this time.

With Bai Yuan's strength, it doesn't take much time at all to get from Xianyang to Lantian County.

"Is there something that delayed you?"

After much thought, Ying Zheng could only think of this reason and continued to wait patiently.

At this moment, everyone felt a slight vibration coming from the ground. Ge Nie stood a few steps in front of Ying Zheng, looking into the distance and concentrating slightly.

"Your Majesty, be careful, something is approaching."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, squinted his eyes and saw that a strange machine-made creature was approaching quickly.

The commander of the black armored army didn't know what it was. For the safety of Ying Zheng and other ministers present, he immediately ordered the formation to be ready.

When the huge mechanism gradually approached, Ying Zheng and others breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly the people standing on the mechanism.

The huge mechanical creation slowly stopped in front of everyone. Bai Yuan jumped lightly, jumped down from it, and landed steadily in front of everyone.

"I kept you waiting for a long time!"

Bai Yuan slightly cupped his hands and glanced at the mechanical harvester next to him, feeling helpless.

If it weren't for ensuring that there would be no problems with this agency, they wouldn't have been delayed for so long on the road.

And Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he looked at the mechanical harvester.

"Although sir, he came late, but he also brought us a new surprise. It doesn't hurt to wait."

"Quickly introduce me to me, what is this?"

Bai Yuan smiled and nodded, leaving the job of introduction to Gong Shuqiu.

Gong Shuqiu rubbed his hands and walked forward, smiling as he introduced another of his proud creations.

"This is an automatic harvester. As the name suggests, it is used to harvest food crops. It only needs three people to operate it. Once you are proficient, it only takes about two-quarters of an hour to harvest an acre of land. The efficiency is amazing!"

These are the data obtained by Gongshu Qiu after many debugging and calculations. When he said this, the pride on his face could not be concealed at all.

Ying Zheng and others were also frightened by this data.

Although they have never been in the fields, they still have some understanding of how long it takes to harvest an acre of food.

An adult male labor force can harvest one to two acres of crops in one day. If the planting is not so intensive, it may be more, but the fluctuation will not be very large. One or two acres more will be enough. .

And this mechanical harvester can harvest one acre of land in just two-quarters of an hour. One hour is four acres of land. Calculated as working for four hours a day, that is sixteen acres!

In the past, it would have taken one person seven or eight days to harvest it.

This improvement effect is simply too scary!

The machine technology is really shocking!

Ying Zheng stepped forward and touched the ugly machine harvester, the smile in his eyes was beyond words.

"Okay! Okay! With this mechanism harvester, our Daqin will reach a higher level!"

Ying Zheng knew very well how useful this thing was to Da Qin.

As production efficiency increases, so many people will not be needed to cultivate the same land. What will be the extra work?

Those are all the troops of Great Qin!

Unification of the world will ultimately be achieved through force and war, and in this era, the outcome of the war has a great relationship with the number of soldiers.

The war to unify the world will definitely be huge. I don't know how many people will be sacrificed. Wanting to unify the world without enough troops and strong logistics is definitely a wishful thinking and a daydream.

Da Qin now has more than 400,000 regular combat troops. If they work hard and the people of the country tighten their belts, they may be able to pull out 600,000 troops to support their continued operations.

But now after seeing these agencies, Ying Zheng felt that they might be able to pull out an army of 800,000 or even one million without too much pressure.

Because they can immediately cultivate more land and feed more people with fewer people.

With improved logistics, we will be more confident in fighting.

Just by delaying, they can bring down other countries.

This still does not take into account the yield of [Weakened Spirit Valley], which is estimated based on the original yield per mu of Da Qin.

Not only Ying Zheng thought of this, but also many ministers present.

They didn't expect that if Bai Yuan didn't take action, a big one would come to them as soon as he did.

"Now that the new type of rice has matured, this mechanical harvester comes in handy. Why not let the head of the Gongshu family demonstrate it to everyone."

Bai Yuan also knew that these people should have arrived for a long time, so he got to the point directly.

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to hear it.

"So good!"
