Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 187 Packaging
In the forest, there was the sound of sawing slogans, and the sound of big trees falling down one after another.

Lou Jing raised his eyes and looked at Fusu, with a look of grievance flashing on his face: "I first studied under Chen Mao, but failed to become an official, so I also studied under Guigu, and just wanted to make a difference, and the world became one... "

Well, Chen Mao is the descendant of that farmer, Chen Xiang, but after the fall of the Six Kingdoms, the strategy of the Zongheng family is really useless... The expression on Fusu's face did not change at all, and he thought in his heart:
It is a hobby for Tian Yun to study farming. If the Qi State is not destroyed, he can still occupy a high position even if he can't read big characters.

Shiqing Shilu was born in a position that many people would not be able to reach in eight lifetimes.

However, without the rules of this world, it is impossible for me to inherit the throne and become the co-lord of the world.

Well, at least in name...

From the corner of Fusu's eyes, he looked at Lou Jing. He was about 20 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with a thin body and thick hands and feet, with a faint gloomy look in his eyes.

Fortunately, I made a recruitment order... Fu Su secretly rejoiced and said, "You have done a good job in Tian Dian, are you interested in being a gentleman by my side?"

Wei Ben looked at Lou Jing enviously. Although it was a bit hard to be an official by the emperor's side, he had the opportunity to be a local official, which was an important way to become an official.

It's a pity that he is the second son in the family, and his elder brother took the place of Tuize as a Lang Guan, so he can only take the more difficult road of studying.

Lou Jing opened his eyes wide in an instant, took a few deep breaths and then bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tian En, it sounds a bit like what Lu Ru said...Fu Su twirled the beard on his lips and asked with a smile: "Do you know the whereabouts of Chen Mao? Well, besides you and Tian Yun, does Chen Mao have any other disciples?" ?”

Lou Jing was slightly stunned and said: "The family teacher lives in seclusion in Boyang County at the foot of Mount Tai. As for my juniors, they are scattered in various counties and counties all over the world. If Your Majesty wants to call them to Xianyang, I will write a letter immediately!"

Fu Su nodded and said, "In that case, let's do it immediately! I will give you a document later, allowing the farm students to take the government vehicles and go straight to Xianyang! I just don't know if Chen Mao has lived in seclusion for many years, is he willing to come out of the mountain?"

Lou Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if it is kidnapping, I will tie up my family teacher to Xianyang!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only Wei Ben, Li Shang and others who were messed up in the wind.

Fusu looked at his receding back, and thought leisurely in his heart:
Looking at it from the perspective of later generations, although most of the peasant students are performance artists, their simple agriculture-oriented thinking is still very commendable.

Although Fusu will not use their relatively naive political ideas to govern the country, there is one thing about them that Fusu values ​​very much.

That is, the farm students really know how to farm!
In this era when all the schools of thought pay attention to the rule of people by those who work hard, the scholar-bureaucrats will not work hard in the fields.

Even the plowing done by the monarch when offering sacrifices to Shennong every year is mostly to go down to the farmland, push the plowshare for two steps, experience life, and then continue the decadent life of putting on clothes, reaching out for food and opening mouth.

Knowing how to farm means knowing what the seeds of the crops look like!
Fusu planned to pack up the recruited peasant scholars and quickly catch up with the missions that had already set off, so that they would also join in the feat of hollowing out the Western Regions.

In this way, when they return, they can bring back a large number of plant seeds that Qin does not have.

Although it is impossible to have peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., the grapes, pomegranates, broad beans, and coriander brought back by Zhang Qian in later generations can appear in the current state of Qin many years in advance!

Well, although Fusu is a star who doesn't eat coriander, the huge state of Qin cannot live without coriander!
When he was thinking about the luminous glass of grape wine, after a clang, the sound of sawing wood stopped abruptly.

Fu Su frowned slightly and looked intently, only to find that the big saw in the hands of two Yue people had been cut in two. Fortunately, no one was injured.

There was a mistake in the cooperation between the two of them when they pulled the saw, so that the saw blades were not on the same level.

This caused the saw blade to deviate from the plane of sawing, which was clamped by the wood, which in turn caused the hacksaw to break.

The engineer in charge of commanding the logging reprimanded them and replaced them with a new big saw.

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, as long as such an act of damaging imperial ironware is not intentional, it will not be punished. You only need to write a report afterwards and hand over the damaged ironware to the county-level workshop for repair. .

And if it can't be repaired well, it needs to wear off the imprint on it, and then return it to the treasury for recasting.

"The big saw made by Your Majesty is really useful!" Gong Shugui leaned in front of Fusu and said, "According to my estimate, even a big tree with three people hugging it can be sawed down in one or two hours!"

"That's right, if we generalize this thing, we can get twice the result with half the effort when opening roads in the mountains!" Meng Tian also echoed.

Fusu also nodded secretly. Before the more powerful chainsaw appeared, the best tool for dealing with thick trees was undoubtedly this two-person big saw.

However, he did not plan to destroy the forests in the Guanzhong area too much. Even if he destroyed the forests, he would cut down the miscellaneous trees in this way and replace them with mulberry trees or fruit trees.

As for the terraced fields for sowing crops, it is not within his consideration.

The population pressure of the current Qin State is not great, and most of the land suitable for cultivation in the world is still in the hands of those tribal indigenous people who have not formed a country.

Such as the Red River Delta, such as the Sanjiang Plain, Songnen Plain and Liaohe Plain.

Another purpose of Fusu making this big saw is to prepare for these rich places.

Whether it is the Qin State or later generations, the cost performance of water transportation is higher than that of land transportation.

With a big saw, trees that have grown freely in the mountains for hundreds of thousands of years can quickly be turned into ships.

Before Fusu crossed over, because he was addicted to a stand-alone game that was very worn but still looked like an assassin, he had personally copied a reduced version of the Jackdaw.

So in future generations, he plans to reproduce the sailing warship that can cross the ocean when the time is right.

As for why it is not done now, it is mainly because in the era of inland waterway shipping, sailing ships are not as easy to use as galleys, and the main means of attack of sailing warships is artillery rather than bows and crossbows.

After watching the sawing for a while, Fusu felt that there was no room for improvement with this kind of big saw, so he went to see the surveying and mapping work of the road accompanied by Meng Tian and others.

After all, there is a saying in later generations that if you want to get rich, build roads first.

In this era, road construction can not only speed up the development of industry and commerce, and make the heads of Guizhou rich, but more importantly, it can speed up the exchanges between various places, so that the world can truly be united!
