Daqin Engineers

Out of cautious consideration, Shen Bing finally dared to kick the whole one side.

That is, a cloth loop is sewn on the left side to facilitate climbing on the horse.

But this is already incredible.

Seeing Shen Bing easily climbed up on the horse by relying on the cloth loop, he couldn't help but uttered:

"The engineer is brilliant."

"This method is practical."

"I have been riding my horse all my life but I don't know how to get on and off easily."

"Usually it is just that you have to practice hard for dozens of days when you get on the horse, and you don't want to just add a cloth loop to solve it."

...

Soon this invention was discovered by the cavalry in the camp, so a cloth circle was sewn on all the gourds.

Shen Bing sighed secretly in his heart, sometimes it is a living to suffer if you want to hide the method.

Just like now, Shen Bing knows the stirrups but dare not use them.

To ride a horse, you still have to hug the horse's neck tightly.

Even if Shen Bing only turned a small half circle, and Yan was still leading the horse to walk slowly, the inner thighs were worn out because of the tightly gripping the horse.

At this time, Shen Bing realized the hardships of cavalry in this era, and also understood why they walked with Neiba...This had to make a thick cocoon on the inner side again and again.

It is hard to imagine that they can still fight with guns, swords or even crossbows in this situation.

Therefore, the cavalry of this era is still precious.

However, if the stirrup and saddle were invented, cavalry training would not be so difficult.

And it may take shape in a short time, and the combat effectiveness may be stronger than the cavalry that has been training for several years now.

some day in the future……

However, Shen Bing dared to get out the saddle and the horse pedal at least after the Xiongnu had to be beaten on this day.

It's still going to be like this now, and it's good to practice riding skills as a kind of entertainment in leisure time.

But Shen Bing didn't know that their "leisure" soon became a past tense.

In the early morning of the third day, Shen Bing and his party were eating breakfast...

During this time, the artillery’s breakfast was replaced with noodles.

Although eating too much is greasy, it is better than millet.

In fact, it is not just the artillery, the noodle making method is spread throughout the barracks like a one-sided kick.

Fatty Tun started thinking about opening a noodle shop when he went back.

Shen Bing told him:

"Where is enough to open a house?"

"Each county has opened several branches and quickly occupied the national market."

"There are also scallion pancakes."

"The money will be like flowing water then..."

Fatty Tun listened for a while, then said excitedly with his eyes widened:

"Master, how will you cooperate with me then."

"I'll listen to you!"

"I feel relieved if I have a master, I will never lose money when I live."

Shen Bing promised, but he was a little helpless.

Fatty's idea is too simple.

As the saying goes, in troubled times, power requires money in prosperous times.

What can money count in this troubled world?

No matter how much you earn, you will be confiscated or robbed overnight. On the contrary, it is still a burden and may even cost your life.

Only when you have your own power and power to keep these assets can you make money.

But how can we have our own power?

Shen Bing thought to himself, it would be great if one day I could get acquainted with that guy Ying Zheng.

I don’t expect to be as powerful as Li Si, I just need to be an official and a half by his side...

Shen Bing was having sweet dreams while eating, and then listened to Chen Wei shouting outside:

"Today in the farm, the ministries went to the warehouse to pick up farm tools."

Shen Bing was stunned at the time:

Tuntian?

The army should also farm?

Later, Shen Bing realized that he was ignorant.

It's common for the army to farm land, and this is what the army is talking about when training is busy.

The cultivated land in Qin Dynasty was also divided into state and private ownership.

State-owned cultivated land has not been allocated or is ready to be allocated...

If someone does meritorious service, a piece of land will be allocated from the state-owned cultivated land.

If someone commits a crime and is punished, the farmland will be taken back to the state.

Of course, these state-owned arable land will not be left uncultivated. Most of them are taken care of by the army.

At this time, the State of Zhao had just been incorporated into the territory of the State of Qin, and large tracts of land in the hands of the nobles were confiscated as state-owned. Of course, soldiers like Shen Bing had to farm the land.

These trivial matters don't need Shen Bing to worry about, Zuo Gongshi responded and led people to make arrangements.

Farmers have hoes, plows, axes, pottery pots, and some things that can't be said.

It was later that Shen Bing learned that it was called a ditching shovel, which was slightly different from modern shovel in that the blade was flat.

Shen Bing guessed that it was difficult for the ancients to create a scoop-shaped shovel as sharp as the modern one, so it was so weird.

Hui divided the farming tools very ably, and asked everyone to fill his body with water, and then he asked Shen Bing for instructions.

The cultivated land is a few miles outside the city.

When Shen Bing arrived at the destination, he was dumbfounded on the spot...

This is so arable land, cracked and hard everywhere, like a tortoise shell.

After waiting for a while, I heard Chen Wei shouting with the bamboo slips:

"The artillery is set within the black flag."

"The defense divisions within the yellow flag..."

...

When Shen Bing looked around, he saw several black flags planted around a ground the size of two or three football fields.

Shen Bing didn't know how to proceed, and only looked at Shu by his side.

He should be professional in this regard.

Perhaps he saw Shen Bing’s doubts and replied:

"Reported to You Engineer, my subordinates thought I should dig a ditches first."

"Otherwise, this place will be opened, I am afraid that it will not be able to plant seeds."

Shen Bing nodded and said:

"This statement makes sense."

"But, if this was originally Zhao's farmland, how could there be no irrigation canals?"

Hui feels right.

Then I found that there was a ditch in it, but it was left unused for a long time without seeing its original appearance.

At this moment, Shu's face couldn't help changing, and he whispered:

"You Gongshi, things are not good."

"I'm afraid I will be assigned to Takata."

Shen Bing didn't know what Takata was at first.

After the explanation, he realized that the so-called Takada was in the field high above the water source.

Corresponding, of course, there is Takata.

Obviously, the low field is easier than the high field.

In other words, the artillery must first use clay pots to fetch water from a pot at the source of the water.

This difficulty...

Sure enough, when Shen Bing and Hui found the river two hundred steps away, they found that the water level was one step lower than the cultivated land.

His face turned pale with anger, and couldn't help complaining:

"I'm afraid it was the husband intentionally embarrassing me to wait."

"There are many Takatas, and I can't wait for more than a hundred people."

"How can it be completed before the agricultural period?"

As soon as he heard this, he cursed:

"This guy is hateful, I want him to judge!"

Just about to go, she was stopped by Shen Bing.

It won't be useful to judge with the husband without mentioning.

Shen Bing found obvious vegetation stratification along the river bank.

That is, the height of the river should not be so shallow before.

In other words, this is likely to have nothing to do with the husband.

It was the earthquake in Zhao State and the severe drought that lowered the water level, causing the original low fields to become high fields.

If so, it won't be like this here.

It is the general condition of other cultivated land.

It's no wonder that the people of Zhao State will be destroyed by Qin State because of the disaster... Such a field makes them helpless.
