Let’s put aside the discussion about the useful tools for promoting agriculture.

Mainly because of Cao Xiu's operation, Qin Shihuang felt suffocated. He couldn't understand what was in Cao Xiu's head. How could he always think of things that others couldn't think of?

"Picked...picked up?"

"Azheng, you are just like your name. You are too upright and don't know how to be flexible." Cao Xiu sat on the wooden box, looked at Erlang's legs, and said seriously: "With a personality like yours, it's not easy to do anything."

You can’t even eat hot shit.”

"You're the one eating feces!"

"Look, your problem is here again. It is true that I drew this thing with my own hands, but as long as I insist that I picked it up, then I will not be considered as having surpassed my official position and achieved merit, and I can still get rewards."
p>

"You said you picked it up?"

Wang Jian laughed contemptuously.

Do you really think Qin officials are fools?

"You're really right."

"..."

Wang Jian suddenly realized.

Cao Xiu is a local snake in Pei County. He knows most of the county officials, and even the county magistrate wants to marry his daughter to him. Is it a matter of picking it up or painting it?

"That's right, you, the pavilion chief, have great power. I heard the servants in the house often say that even if I give you a county magistrate, you won't change it."

"You have a very low ideological consciousness."

"?"

Qin Shi Huang carefully raised a question mark.

"No matter how powerful you are, it all serves the country."

"..."

Others say this is okay, but it feels weird when it comes out of Cao Xiu's mouth.

"Will this plow work?"

"It is only about half the weight of the current plow, and the efficiency of plowing can be increased by about twice. If a medium-sized oxen is used to pull the plow, it should be possible to cultivate four or five acres of land a day. If the plowing cattle are risking their lives and plowing, ten acres of land can be plowed.

Either way."

"Hiss...are you serious about what you said?"

"You'll know if you try it?"

Cao Xiu smiled faintly.

He knows almost all the official craftsmen in Peixian County. Quyuanli is not complicated, and with the help of Wang Ling, it can be completed in two or three days by two master craftsmen.

"If this thing is really what you said, no... as long as it has half of the effect you said, it will definitely be promoted to an official position. However, aren't you just extending the life of the Qin State by doing this?"

"I have no idea about this." Cao Xiu spread his hands and said innocently: "I discussed this matter with Zhao Jun yesterday. I said Zhao Jun, it's okay for you to let me join the Qin Dynasty, but you have to give me some autonomy.

Right? I can't be inferior to the officials of Qin, right? You want me to join the Qin Dynasty, but you don't let me contribute to the Qin State and get promoted. This is called unreasonable."

"..."

Nothing seems wrong?

In fact, this can be regarded as Cao Xiu's back-up. When he entered Qin, he was also paving the way for his future. He could reproduce and restore many of the tools for promoting agriculture in later generations, which was enough to make him famous in history and rise above the Qin court step by step.

.

If he does this, it is likely to change the national destiny of Qin. If Qin really survives because of him, then he will immediately turn his gun and arrest Zhao Xie and others.

As for the rebellion?

Sorry, living is the most important thing.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. He didn't want to join the Qin Dynasty in the first place, but this group of people insisted on forcing him to join the Qin Dynasty. In this case, he no longer cared about the consequences.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what he does. He's not picky. Even if he can't be an emperor, he can still be a powerful minister. It would be best to give him an elixir, an iron ticket, a gold medal to avoid death, a Shangfang sword, or something, and then go to the palace.

Kill the faint king and kill the sycophantic minister.

Of course, these are just what he is thinking about now.

"Do you know my sworn brother Wang Ling?"

"I recognize it."

"Give him this silk and let him make it as soon as possible."

Before he was released, Qin Shihuang would definitely not do it. After all, it was at least a dozen miles from Cao's house to Wang's house. Cao Xiu's house had only one field ox for plowing the land, not even a short horse, and he had to rely on two legs to walk.

Legs.

However, Qin Shihuang is also interested now!

He really wants to know, is this Quyuanli really so powerful?

……

After walking out of Cao's house, Wang Jian couldn't put it down holding the silk.

He followed behind, keeping a suitable distance.

"Old Master, what Cao Xiu did today reminds me of Zheng Guo." Qin Shihuang smiled and said with great confidence: "At that time, the foolish King of Han sent Zheng Guo to Qin Dynasty, hoping to build canals to weaken Qin.

.It seems that it will extend the life of Han for several years, but in fact it will be the contribution of Qin to ushering in eternal life!"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Wang Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Today, Cao Xiu's role is even greater than that of Zheng Guo. Let's not mention the potatoes he mentioned, but the agricultural books he wrote are quite valuable. He is just a bit lazy. If he had completed it early, he would have been famous throughout the ages. Also

They obviously didn’t recognize the various agricultural tools they drew, but they thought they were awesome!

That time and that moment, exactly this moment.

This is true for Zheng Guo, and so is Cao Xiu.

After so many years, these rebels have not made any progress. Don’t you know that what Qin is best at is poaching? He previously sent Zheng Guo as an intermediary, but now he is the water chief of Qin, in charge of the world’s water conservancy!

Now it's good to send Cao Xiu to Qin Dynasty again.

Isn’t this a rush to send talents to Qin?

It would be a shame for them not to accept such a great gift.

There is also the identity of Cao Xiu. He is not a noble of the Six Kingdoms, so he is destined not to really be of the same mind as them. If someone can become a king after the Rebellion, what can Cao Xiu be? These days, no one has the guts to call Xiang Ning a prince or general.

, even if the rebellion is really successful, Cao Xiu can only be the prime minister of a country at best.

Qin Shihuang stood with his hands behind his back and walked in front.

Although the sun is scorching, my heart is indescribably happy.

He seems to have seen a better future for Qin.

He must firmly grasp a capable minister like Cao Xiu!

"Like Zheng, Cao Xiu should be like this."

"If this curved shaft plow is really useful, as long as it is presented step by step, his title and official position will surely be improved. If the potatoes he talks about can produce fifty, not... twenty, I will serve him as my wife.

Your Majesty!"

In fact, Cao Xiu confused the concept here. The yield per mu of potatoes is high, but 80% of it is water, and the starch content is not as high as rice and other grains. Just like eating a pound of potatoes and a pound of steamed buns, the steamed buns will definitely make you more hungry.

Even so, potatoes are still a high-yielding crop.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to believe what he says?"

"Having been with him for so long, the old master still doesn't understand?" Qin Shihuang smiled and said confidently: "Although Cao Xiu likes to laugh and talk nonsense, he will never talk about important things. Think about how he brewed wine and made salt.

There are many strange craftsmanship in the house, which one is not amazing?"

"..."

Wang Jian remained silent and did not answer. In fact, he hoped in his heart that these were true. But his experience over the years told him that the so-called fifty dan per mu was simply impossible, which made him quite conflicted.<

/p>

"I once heard that there was the spirit of the emperor in the southeast, so I traveled east to suppress it. If I had not met this Cao Xiu, maybe Cao Xiu would have achieved great things one day. Now I understand everything. The so-called spirit of the emperor is actually me.

myself, otherwise I wouldn’t have been exiled to Peixian County.”

Wang Jian nodded in agreement.

He is worthy of being an emperor!
Chapter completed!
