Daqin Engineers

Yang Duanhe is very satisfied with Shen Bing's invention...

This is nonsense. The ability to pound rice with water can save a lot of labor and transfer these labor to the farm to solve the food crisis. Anyone will be satisfied.

So this is not just a question of promotion in Shouchun, Yang Duanhe immediately promoted it to all newly occupied Chu lands, including large and small cities, and even the promotion methods are the same.

In fact, cities or villages outside of Shouchun do not need to worry about the problem of not being promoted.

Shouchun City is not independent. The people in the city usually have various contacts with surrounding villages and towns, such as marriages, walking with relatives, trade, and farmers outside the city to sell crops.

It's natural for such a communication to spread the news of Shouchun and the system of swapping rice for farming.

Therefore, Chu Min outside of Shouchun no longer has the process of "having doubts"...Shouchun City has become a successful guinea pig, and others only need to keep up.

The production of waterwheels is not difficult. The Huaihe River system in Chu area has abundant water energy. There are rivers everywhere, and waterwheels can be made and used for pounding rice.

It is enough for the peasants to have the designated pounding area uniformly set up by the Qin army, which is more troublesome at best.

The "trouble" mentioned here refers to the need to transport the grains for a certain distance, and then transport them back after queuing up and pounding them, and returning them after a period of time.

Some large families felt that this was not convenient enough, and they lived by the river at the same time, so they simply made a waterwheel pounding rice.

For a while, everyone in the Chu area was proud of having waterwheels, and the houses on the banks of the river were scrambled for looting.

On the other hand, Ying Zheng didn't know about Shouchun at this time, and he was still in Handan overwhelmed by the matter.

Ying Zheng even called Xu Ying to discuss big plans with him...

Yingzheng's meaning is that this is the time when the peasants in the Zhao area are free, can they transport the people in the Zhao area to the Chu area in large quantities to relieve their urgent needs?

There is some truth to Ying Zheng's idea.

One is because the cereal planted in Zhaodi is winter wheat, which was planted in September last year and harvested in April and May this year. It is not busy time at this time.

The second is because Zhaodi is relatively close to Chuhuai, and it is not difficult to migrate in large numbers southward by waterways.

But Xu Ying shook his head and denied the idea:

"Majesty, Zhao Guo is already very thin and labored."

"Not to mention that Zhaodi's grains need to be taken care of, and the five dishes have already reached the planting time."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but uttered an "Oh"... He had forgotten that the people had to grow vegetables during the slack.

How can people in high positions appreciate the hard work of the people? They only think about how many people can produce how much food.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng asked again:

"Then, can the farmer take someone to Chuhuai to assist in the farming?"

Xu Ying replied:

"My lord, it is feasible for Caomin to take people to Chuhuai to assist in the farming."

"But if Chuhuai lacks labor... the farmer is afraid there is nothing he can do."

Farmers are technology rather than labor, and they are scattered all over the Central Plains. Even if they are all together, there will be more than a thousand people, which is just a drop in the bucket.

Ying Zheng actually knew this too, but at this time he was a little ill and went to the doctor.

Just when everyone was at a loss, they saw Li Si snatching in excitedly with a letter:

"Great King, good news, great news!"

Ying Zheng has little interest in this.

What good news does he think at this time?Can not solve the Chuhuai food crisis, all good things will turn into bad things.

I don’t want Li Si to bring good news to solve the problem:

"Majesty, Chuhuai's difficulty in farming farmland has been resolved."

Ying Zheng's spirit came in an instant, but she still didn't believe it:

"The prime minister is serious about this?"

"I'm waiting for no one or no soldiers, but how did this dilemma of farming land be solved?"

Li Si smiled:

"It was Shen Bing who solved it with a waterwheel."

It was even more strange to everyone.

It's not surprising that it was Shen Bing who solved it, because everyone knew that Shen Bing was in Chuhuai, and that he could always solve all kinds of incurable diseases unexpectedly.If Chu Huai's problem can be solved, Shen Bing will be the only choice.

What everyone wonders is how can this waterwheel solve the problem of farming?

Xu Ying took a step forward and asked:

"The prime minister had a mistake. The waterwheel was used to divert water, but what Chu Huai lacked was labor..."

Li Si laughed and replied:

"Shen Bing naturally didn't use this waterwheel to dump the land, he used it to pound rice."

Everyone in the hall was strange again:

"Mixed rice? Waterwheel can pound rice?"

"What does the pounding rice have to do with Tuntian?"

...

It was that Ying Zheng couldn't help getting up and walking down, seeming to be afraid of missing a few words.

Li Si handed over the letter and explained:

"Lord, please see, this is a letter from General Yang."

"As mentioned above, Shen Bing used the power of a waterwheel to pound rice."

"Then the pounding rice will be exchanged with the people for farming farmland. The people are vying for the first time, and then the land of Chuhuai is already in full swing!"

Ying Zheng took the letter and took a serious look, then laughed loudly:

"Okay, you Shen Bing, this time we have solved a big problem for widows."

"If you have this one, you will win the Armies!"

Xu Ying said impatiently:

"My lord, if this waterwheel can pound rice, wouldn't it also be used elsewhere?"

"Caomin, please go to Chuhuai to find out. If it is really possible to pound rice with water power, Caomin can promote it to benefit people everywhere."

Ying Zheng replied without thinking:

"That's it!"

At this time, Ying Zheng is on the rise, and everything is accurate.

What's more, it's a good thing to ask for a request. If there is such a good thing, of course it must be promoted.

Xu Ying was also impatient. As soon as Ying Zheng allowed him to leave, he went straight to Qinhuai after a little preparation.

Ying Zheng walked back and forth in the palace a few times, and the more and more he felt that this waterwheel was not trivial...

Because, as Xu Ying said, if Chu Huai can pound rice with water, wouldn’t it be possible for other places?

How much labor can be saved if they are used all over the country?

But then thinking about it, Ying Zheng sighed slightly.

Because if Da Qin can save labor with this, the enemy can do the same.

Ying Zheng even considered the possibility of secrecy.

But after thinking about it, I thought it might be unrealistic to keep this thing secret.

Because it is popularized among the people, it is no longer a secret if anything is popularized among the people.

The enemy can easily learn it by simply sending a few craftsmen to disguise as common people.

Even without such a great deal of effort, the merchants would sell these milled waterwheels to other countries.

But thinking about Yingzheng, it doesn't matter.

We must know that Shouchun had already been captured by the king of Chu at this time. Although Chu had established a new king, it could not become a climate. Dai, Yan, and Qi were not worried.

It won't be long before the world will belong to Daqin, so is it necessary to keep it secret?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt very comfortable, and with his hands on his back, he looked down at the scenery below the window vigorously.
