Daqin Engineers

Ying Zheng hurried back to Xianyang early the next morning.

He returned to Xianyang so eagerly for nothing else, but for Shen Bing's other suggestion: to encourage production.

This is not just a simple command, it requires a lot of complicated work...

To encourage production, it is necessary to manage and distribute land, people and farm tools.

For example, after Qin destroyed Zhao and included Zhao's land in the territory of Qin, the cultivated land naturally needed to be redistributed.

There are a few people in the family, a few major labors, what are the difficulties, etc.

This is especially the latter.

Although Yingzheng is brutal, the principle of mutual benefit and win-win is still understood.

Zhao Guo has suffered years of disasters, the people are not living, and the people are starving to death. How can there be surplus grain to plant?

So it is natural that the government would allocate a piece of land and a house to the people, and then borrow some rice seeds for planting, and even lend cattle.

Finally, we must borrow some food from the people as rations for the survival of the family.

Of course, these are "borrowing" rather than "giving", more precisely, "loaning".

That is to say, everything given to the people today must be recorded in the book, and it will be doubled when the harvest is next year.

In this way, the harvest of the people in the second year is actually Qin's harvest.

In order to survive, the people have to accept this system and "lending."

This is the fundamental reason why Qin won the victory or even unified the six countries...

The six countries used sub-feudalism, slavery, or small-scale feudalism that were more backward and unfavorable to the production of the people.

The Qin State adopted a centralized system of prefectures and counties and fully recognized the feudal system in law.

Therefore, Qin can always collect more food and recruit more soldiers to support a larger war.

Coupled with the fact that the talents of the Qin Kingdom have come out in large numbers, the Six Kingdoms is vulnerable to its offensive.

All of this needs to be managed.

Therefore, a series of issues such as the establishment of counties and counties, the appointment and removal of officials, registration, and household registration management must all be put on the agenda.

And everything must be completed within one month, otherwise the agricultural period will be missed.

Therefore, Yingzheng stayed up all night and set up the three counties of Handan, Julu, and Taiyuan in Zhao State and appointed and dismissed relevant officials.

Then he hurried back to Xianyang before it was clear.

There needs to be handled such as food allocation and policy making.

In fact, he was already busy driving on the carriage.

In this respect, Shen Bing's previous sentence, "Encourage energy for governance, practice the officials" is really right.

However, before leaving, Ying Zheng did not forget to confess to Shen Bing.

This is human nature. If someone's mouth is soft, you should always say it when you leave.

But in Zhao Gao's eyes, it is a big deal... When does Ying Zheng want to confess to others?

At that time, Shen Bing was practicing on the school ground.

In ancient times, training was more about rehearsing formations, which was to follow the drums and flags in various shapes.

Shen Bing was stunned by these things.

Fortunately, Cheng was very good at it. Under his command, the artillery had a degree of advancement and retreat, and there was a game on both sides.

Shen Bing only had to follow along, and there was no trouble after the whole exercise.

After returning, I saw a bamboo slip left by the merchant.

He said that he had to go ahead and see Yunyun by chance in the future, and finally said that he would leave a little polite and thank you.

Thin gift?

where?

Shen Bing turned to and fro but couldn't find it.

Then there was a sizzle outside...

I go, will it be the horse?

When they came in, Shen Bing and the craftsmen had already seen the horse, and they only told which cavalry was tied to it.

Yan still stopped in front of the horse for a long time, always admiring the "good horse, good horse" for a long time and reluctant to leave.

If you think about it, it might be true!

Isn’t the merchant selling horses?

What else can I give without a horse?

Shen Bing took the bamboo slips out of the house in a daze.

Yan seemed to realize something, and followed a few steps, asking with excited and expectant eyes:

"Master, this horse was not given to you by the horse merchant, right?"

Shen Bing looked around and nodded slowly when he saw no one came to take it:

"It should be."

When Yan Li, his eyes widened with envy:

"Master, you got a big deal this time."

"This horse has big eyes, wide nose, and well-developed muscles, which is rare in the Northern Cavalry."

"It's really something that you can't find. I don't want the horse businessman to be so generous. This is for you."

Then he smiled again:

"The horse merchant is also interesting, just tie it outside the door, if you let someone take it away..."

How could Xun think that the true identity of the "horse businessman" was Ying Zheng.

How can others dare to move the things that Yingzheng gave away?

Shen Bing didn't feel much.

Once he didn't understand horses, good and bad horses were almost the same in front of him.

Secondly, he doesn't know how to ride a horse. It feels like a waste to send such a horse.

If you really want to say something useful, it's throwing it to the horse to pull the cart.

But then again.

If this horse is used to pull a cart, I am afraid it would be a violent thing, right?

It's like loading and pulling goods with a sports car...It's a bit contrary to any thought.

More importantly, not being able to ride a horse in this era is a big problem.

If one day is chased and chopped by the enemy, there will be another horse in front of you.

Didn't you know how to ride a horse at that time?

So Shen Bing gritted his teeth and decided to learn how to ride a horse anyway.

But in this era, it is not easy to learn how to ride a horse, and more importantly, it is dangerous...

Without the stirrups, he can't jump up like other people.

That action can be practiced for a few months without saying!

And riding, falling down, or being kicked by a horse is not a joke.

Shen Bing looked at him with almost shoulder-high horseback in front of him.

Get the stirrups out?

Shen Bing hesitated.

Just like trebuchets, stirrups and saddles are actually not technologically content, but more creative.

If it is invented right now, it can temporarily take advantage of it.

But the enemy will learn it soon after seeing it.

The Qin Army is dominated by infantry, with a small number of cavalry and only supporting operations.

In other words, the invention of stirrups did not help the Qin army much, but was more beneficial to the enemy with more cavalry.

Fortunately, the state of Zhao, the strongest cavalry among the six nations, has fallen. There will be much less worry in this regard.

however……

There are also Huns in the north.

They have been playing on horseback since childhood.

If the stirrups and saddles are assembled and spread to the Xiongnu, will they still go to heaven?

And at this time Yingzheng has not connected the Great Wall into one piece. If the Xiongnu's iron cavalry would enter the Central Plains from the north...

Can Shen Bing bear this responsibility?

Will there be the Great Qin Empire at that time?

Can Shen Bing stop him?

But Shen Bing soon had an idea.

Iron stirrups cannot be used with cloth stirrups, right?

When the stirrup was first invented, it was hung under the belly of a horse in a loop with cloth.

This invention is almost coming out now.

Shen Bing was only invented a few years earlier than the Huns, and it should have little impact on history and the overall situation.
