chapter 243. spring farming
"Don't you behave yourself, how dare you insult my king? Don't you want to live?"
Seeing Qu Yuan's tone of contempt and his eyes were pissed, Bai Qi was immediately furious and wanted to pull out the long sword from his waist and chop Qu Yuan's sword in half.
"Oh, it's okay, I just like to quarrel with Lord Zuo Tu."
Ying Si smiled. He knew Qu Yuan too much. He was not only stubborn, but also unreasonable, but this was Qu Yuan's biggest weakness.
Qu Yuan pursed his lips, took a sip of wine, and sneered: "The King of Qin is so bold that he dared to appear in my State of Chu."
"In order to make King Huai of Chu suspicious of Lord Zuo Tu, I have also made good efforts."
Qu Yuan coughed, his voice slightly hoarse, "Isn't the King of Qin afraid that Qu Yuan will tell the Chu army to arrest you?"
"Lord Zuo Tu can give it a try."
Qu Yuan sneered: "I won't try anymore. Now that I have been demoted, I will think that I am a desperate person and even regard Qu Yuan as a madman when I go to inform me."
"All birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. A wise person will leave a way out for himself. It may be a good choice for Zuotu to go to Yancheng."
Why didn’t Qu Yuan want to leave?
He had long wanted to leave Yingdu, which was a place of failure, but as a Chu citizen and a minister of Chu, Qu Yuan could not let go of the safety of the people of Yingdu and the Chu state.
"Lord Zuo Tu, Ying Si used this method to make Lord Zuo Tu return to the world and no longer be enemies with Qin."
"Dream in the daytime, when Qu Yuan returns to Yingdu, it will be the day when our Chu State sends troops to attack Qin."
"Lord Zuo Tu still refuses to make peace with Qin?"
Qu Yuan's face was as bright as earth, but his words were strong: "The determination to destroy Qin is unswerving."
Ying Si also smiled: "Then let's see if you left the disciple destroyed my Qin State, or if you are the one who destroyed your Chu State."
"Let's wait and see!"
The two laughed and drank happily.
After a few pots of wine, both of them were drunk and Ying Si said sincerely: "If you part today, take care of the gentleman."
"King Qin, be careful in the future!"
Qu Yuan smiled like nothing.
At this moment, he no longer had the same VIA as before. He looked down and out. He pursed his lips slightly and got in the car and left.
In fact, Qu Yuan is a bit conceited and looks down on anyone in Yingdu, otherwise he would not have given Ying Si an opportunity to take advantage of it.
After he left, Ying Si turned over and took Mei Changsu and Bai Qi back to Qin State.
But it was said that King Huai of Chu was alienated from Qu Yuan, and the Yan State was indeed trapped. The prince led Qi's army into Jicheng to quell the rebellion.
But as soon as the Qi army entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Jicheng was like a purgatory on earth for a while.
Even the Crown Prince Ji Ping was not spared and the Qi army was tragically killed! In this way, the Qi army was restrained and could not be alliance with Chu, so Qin would have another year to cultivate and rest.
Ying Si was in a good mood. When he returned to Xianyang, he looked at the tall city. He was shocked and finally returned home.
Walking into Xianyang City, during the days when Ying Si went out, Xianyang City was still in order.
A habit has already formed in Qin State. Whether Ying Si is there or not, people's livelihood needs to be paid attention to.
Because there is really no hope for a tyrant.
"Congratulations to me, Wang Kaixuan, on his return."
In the new palace and Lingyun Pavilion, Gao Changgong and Zhang Yi have already returned first, waiting for Ying Si and others.
Ying Si hurried forward, patted Gao Changgong on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Changgong, the crisis in Qin State is resolved this time, thanks to you."
"These are all things that the empress should do."
In just a few words, the great plan of Qi and Chu coalition forces to attack Qin was strangled into the cradle, and it was really a strange person.
"No need to be humble, I will still have a great reward for this matter in the future."
Ying Si sat on the throne, looked at the few people in the hall, and asked, "How is the Qin State's current situation during the period when I was not here?"
Zhang Yi stepped forward: "Everything is fine, but." "It's just what?"
Ying Si raised his hand slightly and asked.
Zhang Yi looked up and said, "It's just that the spring plowing season is coming soon, and farming is another headache."
Damn, right! I’m going to farm soon, so I have to do something on it and build a new countryside together.
Ying Si thought that potatoes and tomatoes are still very fresh in Qin State, and they can no longer give them new things for a while.
However, the importance of farming to Qin is self-evident. If you want to achieve great ambitions, you must have sufficient food and supplies.
But the current situation is that the Qin State's farming level is backward, the tools used are also very bulky and extremely inefficient.
Nowadays, it takes more time to plant one acre of land in Qin State than to plant ten acres of land in later generations.
I have to think of ways to prevent the people from working hard and planting the land.
"The farming matter needs to be solved urgently. Our Qin State should also focus on traditional crops and cooperate with the cultivation of potatoes and tomatoes, but do not regard tomatoes and potatoes as the main part."
Ying Si ordered.
"I understand."
Zhang Yi lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and did not move.
In addition to what to plant, if Qin wants to be prosperous and strong, there is another very difficult problem.
Qin State was vast, but there were too many wastelands and no one cultivated them, which also led to Qin State not having much food.
The land of Bashu is fertile, but most of the land in Qin State is barren.
After Shangjun's reform, this situation changed slightly. Some people were willing to take the initiative to reclaim wasteland and work hard.
For such people, Qin State has a reward policy.
The method of Shangjun not only greatly improved the production enthusiasm and efficiency of Qin, but also greatly enriched the tax revenue.
But what Ying Si wants to solve is the method problem.
At this time, the planting methods are mainly based on the cooperation between humans and animals. If the animals are disobedient, it will be even more difficult to carry out.
Ying Si suddenly thought of the hand-held seedling machine! If he directly made the hand-held tractor, it would be so scary. For a moment, Ying Si was afraid that the Qin people would not accept it.
Then, first use wood to make a hand-held seedling machine, which can greatly improve the farming situation.
"What are you thinking about, King?"
Seeing Ying Si dazed on the throne for a while, Zhang Yi asked in a low voice.
Ying Si looked up and saw a firm and handsome face: "I want to make new farming tools and hold the seeds with my hands."
“Handheld seeds?”
What the hell is that! Don’t say that I’ve seen it, I haven’t heard of it before. Why is this name so strange? Isn’t it enough to sow seeds with my hands?
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, what is that?"
"To put it simply, it is a planting tool. You only need one person to plant more than ten acres of land in one day."
"———" Such efficiency is amazing.
Gao Changgong and others couldn't understand it. They only knew how to lead troops to fight. Perhaps the king was an expert in farming and farming.
