When people were in Qin Dynasty, they changed the world by swiping entries

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!"

Then, under the escort of Da Qin soldiers, Ying Zheng led the civil and military officials to the rice fields. On the way, he kept looking back at the machine harvester following them, sighing constantly.

In front of the rice fields, many farmers looked very nervous.

When he saw Ying Zheng and others, he immediately knelt down.

Ying Zheng waved his hand to let them stand down, and asked a few questions related to the rice fields with concern.

These farmers know everything they know and talk about it.

I even felt extremely honored to be able to answer Ying Zheng's questions and receive his attention.

After understanding the general situation, Ying Zheng also briefly talked with these people, and then directly asked people to take over the nearby rice fields.

"Master Gongshu, now it's your turn to perform for everyone." "As ordered!"

Gongshu Qiu responded with a smile, then stepped onto the mechanical harvester, and cooperated with the other two Gongshu disciples to control the mechanical harvester into the rice fields.

When the farmers standing aside saw this scene, their hearts tightened, fearing that the strange thing would accidentally damage the rice fields they had worked hard to take care of for more than two months.

But even if they were worried, they didn't dare to have any opinions.

Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. The mechanical harvester was specially built for harvesting crops.

Although it was the first time it was used, Gong Shuqiu spent a lot of effort on this thing.

Everyone only saw the mechanical harvester rolling a bunch of rice inside, and then heard a clicking sound. Soon the ears of rice and the straw were cut off together, and fell into a large carriage behind the harvester.

"It can actually be used to harvest crops!"

"This speed is really fast!"

Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but start talking, looking shocked.

Hearing is one thing, but seeing is another.

In addition to being concerned about the effect of the harvester, some people also noticed that the harvested rice seemed to be very different from the rice they had seen before, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Ying Zheng was also staring at this place intently, wishing he could go up and control the harvester himself.

But due to his identity, he could only wait patiently.

Two quarters of an hour is not a very long time, but to this group of Great Qin natives, it is like a year.

They watched with their own eyes as Gong Shuqiu drove a mechanical harvester to harvest the rice in the fields at an incredible speed.

Those farmers were immediately dumbfounded.

"Is it all over now? How could it be so fast!"

"If we also have this kind of strange mechanism, wouldn't we be able to do the same as them? How much effort this can save!"

The farmers' worries at the beginning have evolved into their eyes shining brightly when they see the harvester.

When Gong Shuqiu came down from the office, he shuddered and deliberately stayed away from the farmers, then looked at Ying Zheng with a smile.

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Gongshuqiu, you did a good job this time, it's really a great achievement!"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I don't dare to take credit for this. It was Master Bai Yuan who gave me guidance. During this period, Master also helped me a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to invent this mechanical harvester."

Gong Shuqiu was very honest and did not dare to take all the credit on himself. He pragmatically gave the main credit to Bai Yuan.

He knew that to Da Qin, being a public loser was nothing, but Bai Yuan was different.

Even if he gives up his current merits, as long as he continues to support Bai Yuan and be on good terms with Bai Yuan, is he afraid that he will not have the chance to make meritorious deeds?

I'm afraid those who get the credit will get a soft hand.

When Ying Zheng heard what Gong Shuqiu said, he was not too surprised and just smiled heartily.

"You all have merit and deserve rewards!"

"But now let's see what the output of this acre of land is!"

As soon as Ying Zheng gave the order, someone immediately came forward and weighed the grain output in an orderly manner.

And Ying Zheng also knew how much food could be produced from one acre of land here.

These data had appeared in memorials and other records, and Ying Zheng just read them once and wrote them down.

Seeing the soldiers busy, Ying Zheng asked Bai Yuan curiously.

"Sir, how much grain does this acre of land produce?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took out a folding fan from somewhere, flicked it, and opened the fan with a swish sound, looking like a handsome gentleman, which made everyone else look stunned.

"I have investigated before and found that the original yield of the land here was only about one and a half stones per mu, so increasing it tenfold should not be a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately started talking.

"Ten times! That's not fifteen stones!"

"How is this possible? That's fifteen stones! If he said it would be doubled, I would believe three or four stones. Fifteen stones, that would be too outrageous!"

"That's it!"

Bai Yuan was not angry after listening to these people's discussions.

One stone in Da Qin only weighed about sixty kilograms in later generations, and one and a half stones only weighed ninety kilograms. However, the yield per acre of [Weakened Spirit Valley] was more than a thousand kilograms, so it was easy to increase it tenfold.

Facts speak louder than words. When the weighing is over, these unbelievers will automatically shut up.

Just because these people don't believe it doesn't mean that Ying Zheng doesn't believe it.

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, he was so excited that he almost made a fool of himself.

The hands under the robe were squeezed tightly until the fingers turned white, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

After waiting for a while, a soldier and others next to him confirmed that the weighing results were correct before coming forward to report.

"Report to the king, the weighing results are out."

As he spoke, the soldier actually panted a little.

Ying Zheng looked a little impatient: "Don't hesitate when you speak. What's the result?"

"As a result, the output of this mu of land reached twenty stones!"

"How many?"

Even before Ying Zheng could react, other ministers could not sit still.

"Did you know that lying about the results is a serious crime!"

Ying Zheng also squinted his eyes, unable to believe the result for a moment.

"My subordinates don't dare! I have confirmed the results many times and there is absolutely no mistake!"

The soldier quickly explained himself.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Okay! Twenty stones! Okay! Great Qin is really lucky to have this magical rice!"

All the ministers also congratulated Ying Zheng, and at the same time, it could be seen that the expressions on their faces were actually very complicated.

They never expected that such an outrageous number reported by Bai Yuan was not even the limit.

If the grain yield of twenty stones per mu can be promoted throughout Da Qin, it can directly increase Da Qin's grain output by more than ten times.

It used to take five acres of land to feed one person, but now one acre of land can feed two to three people. The gap is huge.

In a few years, it will be possible to summon an army of millions at will without any pressure.

"I have sent an order to dispatch 10,000 people from the Lantian Camp to station in Lantian County, and take care of the immature rice fields day and night. These are the future of Great Qin, and there is no room for any mistakes!"

Ying Zheng immediately increased the importance of these rice fields and did not hesitate to mobilize an additional 10,000 troops to guard these rice fields.

What Ying Zheng is most worried about now is that there is no airtight wall in the world. If other countries knew that Qin had obtained such super-high-yielding rice, they would probably be jealous.

At that time, there will definitely be no shortage of overt and covert actions against Qin's conspiracies.

But Ying Zheng was also ready. No matter who dared to stretch out his hand, he would chop it into pieces. (End of chapter)
