Daqin Engineers

Chapter 283

There is no such big difference between modern fertilization and no fertilization. The yield of fertilized crops is usually increased by between 10% and 40%.

There was such a big difference in ancient times because there was basically no fertilization technology in this era, and there was only a little farm manure.

Under this circumstance, the fertility of crops will continue to decline year after year and day after day.

If it has any measures to maintain fertility, it is to leave the field.

However, the fertility that can be supplemented by closed fields is very limited, which ultimately leads to low crop yields.

At this time, applying fertilizer to the field is like feeding a tonic to the field. Coupled with the careful care of the farmers, it is normal to increase the yield by half.

And this is just a small head.

With the fertilization, all the fields distributed to Chu people do not need to be closed, and the invisibly arable land area has doubled... That is not a little bit more profit than the fields of Chu.

Shen Bing asked Xu Ying:

"Sir, can this refill method be used in Huaibei at this time?"

Xu Ying thought about it, nodded and replied:

"The old man thinks so."

"Although we don't know the results before the harvest, the crops after refining are strong and full of grains."

"So far it has been determined to be feasible."

So Shen Bing and Yang Duanhe set their sights on Fusu.

Although Fusu was only the Liangjun supervising the army, he still had the decision-making power as the son of Qin State.

But in fact, there is no need to ask for instructions at all. Who can refuse such good things?

Fusu nodded immediately and said:

"Just act according to what the deputy said."

"Besides, I must not disclose the fattening method to Chu State."

This time Fusu had reached the point.

Compared with the previous milling wheel or even the "water drain", this fertilizer seems to have no technical content but is much more important.

The reason is that it can directly increase crop yields without the need to close the fields.

This was an artifact in ancient times when agriculture was the foundation and food was the sky.

With this magical weapon, even if Chu State lowers taxes, it won't help.

It is not difficult to keep secrets, you just need to send someone you can trust to make fat.

For example, Yang Duanhe sent the army to make fertilizer, and after the fertilizer was made, the people would transport it... What the people got was just a bunch of black and whirring things, of course they didn't know how to make it.

As for the Qin army who is making fertilizer, they are restricted by the system of joint seats, so which one dares to speak out?!

Just when Shen Bing thought it was over, he didn't want to help Su and asked again:

"Vice-General, I wonder if I can go and see this fattening?"

Shen Bing was taken aback and replied:

"The son can watch it by himself, but although the method of making fat is good, it is extremely indecent, son..."

He didn't want to help Su but waved his hand:

"It's okay, this fat is related to the lifeline of the country, how can it be avoided in the name of indecent."

Speaking now, he got up and followed Yang Duanhe out.

Only Xu Ying and Shen Bing looked at each other in this scene.

However, Xu Ying admired Fusu's move very much, because what the farmer said was "the wise men and the people farm and eat together, and they govern by food."

That is to say, when a wise man governs a country, he should farm and eat together with the people, but no one who governs the country has ever been willing to do this.

Now Fusu took the initiative to ask to see this fattening... Although this was unintentional, it was in line with the morals of the peasant family, and Xu Ying was immediately excited, so he secretly sighed to Shen Bing:

"The son is really a sage, and he will be my benefactor in the future!"

Shen Bing just smiled.

This help Su Ren is benevolence. It is said that he has changed his pedantic nature and became resolute and courageous after some experience with Meng Tian in history, and is deeply loved by the people.

However, whether you can become a king is another matter.

The people who want to harm him are Zhao Gao and Li Si...Both are powerful figures.

Sometimes Shen Bing is thinking, can he change this history and successfully let Fusu take the lead?

What if the change will affect future generations?

Shen Bing didn't know the answer, he only knew that a new round of propaganda war was about to begin again.

This round of propaganda is of course the main fertilizer.

The method is still the same as before to draw simple pictures, then copy thousands of pictures and texts and then send them to Chu.

It's just that the difficulty of sending it to Chu is slightly increased, because after the previous propaganda war, the nobles of the Chu Kingdom were prepared.

However, this is hard to prevent, especially the use of bamboo utensils by southerners is very common, such as the bamboo rafts used by fishermen, which can't be found if they are cut off and hidden in flyers.

So the previous scene reappeared, and it was even worse than the previous shock.

When Chu Wangqi received the new flyer, he was shocked:

"The Qin people actually refilled fertilizer to increase production? Is this true or false?"

Xiang Yan answered after thinking about it:

"Majesty, based on the previous milling wheel and iron optimization, this matter is mostly true."

"Shen Bing can always come up with new things on a whim. It is not difficult for him to fatten up."

Chu Wangqi nodded in agreement.

He knew Shen Bing's ability, so he believed it from the moment he got the flyer. The reason why he asked was just hoping to get a negative answer.

Then Xiang Yan said:

"My lord, although I know it, the people don't know it."

"Why don't I wait to say that this fattening is just a trick by Qin Jun?"

Chu Wangqi was silent for a while and replied:

"It can only be so."

Although Chu Wangqi said so, he knew that it would not be of any use.

The main reason is that the name Shen Bing has been deeply rooted in Chu State...Shen Bing was the one who defeated Xiang Yan many times, and Xiang Yan was the general of Chu State.

In fact, defeating Xiang Yan is not surprising. Originally, Qin Jun was better than Chu Jun, and it was normal for Qin Sheng Chu to lose.

The problem is that Shen Bing wins more with less and more than once.

The beams flooded the Chu army and led the city in water battles, especially the Ruyin battle...Shen Bing led three thousand black armies to repel tens of thousands of Chu troops, which made the name of Shen Bing a household name in Chu. , Everyone knows.

Coupled with the matter of pounding rice and waterwheels, it is even more so that people regard Shen Bing as a godlike figure.

So like Chu Wangqi and Xiang Yan, the first reaction after seeing the flyer was to believe...Shen Bing, who has such a skill, is it a trivial matter to make fat?

Under this preconceived idea, the king of Chu and Xiang Yan again promoted that fattening was a trick by the Qin army...How many people would believe it?

I'm afraid they will doubt Chu Jun more than Qin Jun, and even think that Chu Jun is trying to cover up.

As expected, things were just like what Chu Wangqi thought, what the people said to Chu Jun was just a superficial answer...this was to survive.

Secretly, the fact that there are retting fertilizers in Huaibei that can increase production by half is crazy.

Although the people are illiterate and illiterate, calculating food and tax rates is related to survival, which is considered accurate.

The current total: The half-percent of the increased production of grain has a surplus after paying taxes, plus the fact that there is no need to close the land...The tax rate of Chu State is not as low as this.

So what else is there to think about?

Continue to escape to Huaibei...
