The First Emperor looked at the curved plow raised by the Jinyiwei, and his face showed a look of confusion.

The method of cultivated land used in Daqin is the "two oxes and squads" also known as the "two oxes and three husbands" farming method.

When plowing, the two oxen are about seven or eight feet apart, and lift a "bar" horizontally in the middle, and then plow directly.

One person leads the ox in front; one person sits on the "bar", step on the plow, controls the depth of the plowshare into the soil; one person supports the plow handle behind.

This farming method is time-consuming and labor-intensive and extremely inefficient.

However, this is impossible, because the plow used by Daqin is still the Zhixuan plow.

The plowing land in Zhixuan is not deep, so there is a person who needs to sit on the bar and press it with the weight of his body so that the plowhead will not come out of the soil.

The things that Ying Yu brought up were quite similar to those of the straight plow, but they were somewhat different.

But no matter how different it is, it is a plow?

Because the First Emperor asked angrily: "This thing is what you call the important weapon of the country?"

Ying Yu nodded: "Father, don't you think there is a problem with my method of arable land in Daqin?"

"Please pay attention to your words. My method of arable land in Daqin has been passed down since ancient times, so how can there be any problem?"

Before the First Emperor could speak, Feng Quji stood up directly.

"Master, can I ask the Prime Minister, the method of cultivated land that I use now in Daqin is the method of two cattle and three husbands?"

Feng Quji nodded: "That's right!"

"Then the problem is? You need two cows to plow a lot of land. What if a family doesn't have two cows and three laborers at home?"

Feng Quji was stunned, but he didn't expect Ying Yu to ask this question.

He thought a little and said, "There is no two cows to borrow. As for what the young master said, there should not be such a situation."

"According to statistics, each family in Daqin has at least five to six people."

Ying Yu sneered: "Are Feng Xiang sure?"

"This...this..."

Feng Quji was speechless, he was really unsure.

Ten years ago, the Qin Dynasty fought for years and died in battle.

Although there is no major war now, he has to serve labor, so he is really not sure how many families can't get three strong laborers.

Seeing Feng Quji hesitating, Ying Yu said coldly:

"I, Daqin, can truly meet the conditions of two oxen and three people, and there are very few farmers."

"Now, many farmers in Daqin do not arable land at all, but directly plant farmers."

"Planting directly without arable land has led to low grain output and even no grain output at all. People have to pay taxes, work hard, and go hungry. In the long run, big problems will surely occur."

The officials looked at Ying Yu and were a little stunned. They had thought about these problems and knew them, but there was no way to solve them.

You can't just transfer three strong laborers to each household and then pair them with two cows?

This is simply not realistic.

"Father, this is what my sons call the important weapon of the country, the curved plow."

“The curved plow consists of eleven parts.

That is, plowshare, plow wall, plow bottom, plow pressure, plow arrow, plow shaft, plow tip, plow review, plow construction and plow plate."

"This plow is much smaller than the straight plow, and the straight plow has also been changed to the curved plow, and the long plow has been changed to the short plow.

Also, a freely rotating plow plate is installed on the shaft, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes it easier to turn and turn, operate with flexible operation, saving manpower and livestock."

When the First Emperor and the officials immediately showed curiosity when they heard this.

"This thing is so small, can it be used to cultivate land?" Feng Quji questioned.

"It can be used naturally, and the effect is excellent. I only need one person and one ox to plow the land with my curved shaft, and I can operate it." Ying Yu said calmly.

"What? Can one person and one cattle cultivate the land? Take this truth?"

Now Brother Zheng could no longer sit still, so he got up from the dragon throne and walked towards the curved plow.

If it is true that as Ying Yu said, only one person and one ox can plow the land, then the effect of this curved plow will be too great.

It is no exaggeration to call it a national important weapon.

"The father's curved plow is right in front of you. You can tell whether it is true or false."

Ying Yu knew that his father didn't believe it. Instead of slapping the word, it would be better to let him experiment on his own.

The First Emperor nodded, thinking that what Ying Yu said made sense.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. If this Quyuan Plough is really as you said, then I will remember your great achievements."

When Emperor Shi Huang was a mass of Zhao State, he also ploughed the land, and he knew the importance of plowing to farmers better than anyone else.

If this curved plow really only needs one person and one ox as Ying Yu said, then this would be too important for the Qin Dynasty.

This is a powerful tool that can consolidate the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, so the First Emperor attached great importance to the Quyuan Plough.

"Come here, carry this Quyuan Plow to the field outside Ganquan Palace. I want to try it myself!"

The guards in front of the hall immediately stepped forward and were about to lift the curved plow, but General Wang Ben stared back with a look.

The king flew to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, the country's important weapon will be carried by himself."

As he said that, he picked up the Quyuan Plough.

The Quyuan Plough is not too heavy, so there is no need to say much about Wang Ben's strength as a general.

The First Emperor nodded and was very satisfied with Wang Ben's performance.

Then he strode out of the Qilin Palace and walked towards the Ganquan Palace.

Wang Ben carried the curved plow and came to Ying Yu and whispered:

"I said, "Young Master, are you sure of this? If it really doesn't work, I broke the plow?"

Seeing this, Ying Yu shook his head quickly.

What a joke, I made it after working hard for a long time in the middle of the night. You actually want to break it?

"Don't worry, General Wang."

Seeing that Ying Yu was confident, Wang Ben didn't say much.

Soon everyone and the First Emperor came to a field in Ganquan Palace.

"Go and find me a plowing ox."

Under the order of the First Emperor, Zhang Han came over with a strong plowing ox in person.

Seeing this, Ying Yu hurried forward and put the curved plow on the body of the cow.

Under Ying Yu's guidance, the First Emperor held the plow handle and drove the plowing ox into the field.

The ox moves forward slowly, and soil is constantly turning out on both sides of the plowshare, and the food is very deep, so there will be no situation where the plowshare comes out of the soil.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng used straight plows and also plowed the land.

At this time, he could clearly feel the difference between the two using this curved shaft plow.

When plowing the land straight, he needs to press the plowing handle hard to prevent the plowing land from being too shallow.

But he almost didn't need any strength to use this curved plow, he just needed to hold the plow handle to control the direction.

Compared with the straight plow, this curved plow is simply too labor-saving and too easy.

The most important thing is that he completed the arable land alone.

At this moment, all officials were shocked at the First Emperor who was arable land.

Of course, they were shocked not because the First Emperor cultivated the land, but because everything Ying Yu said just now was true.

This is simply incredible. Everyone knows at this moment that Daqin is probably about to enter a new era.

The First Emperor handed the bent plow in his hand to the eunuch, and then came to Ying Yu and looked at him with a bright look:
Chapter completed!
