What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Chapter 226 Xiang Yu joins forces to promote farm tools 【One update, please subscribe】

The craftsman looked at the people beside him and smiled, with what seemed to be a mischievous look on his face.

"I always want to see what's in your head."

As soon as these words came out, the craftsman's mind quickly started to spin. The person who followed Chen Shaofu was His Majesty the Emperor!
His Majesty the First Emperor!
Immediately, when the two figures walked into the courtyard, the craftsman knelt down on the ground instantly.

"Min see your majesty, your majesty for ten thousand years—"

"Great Qin Wannian—"

And the other craftsmen who were making things at the side also reacted instantly, and knelt down on the ground with him.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years—"

"Great Qin Wannian—"

Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at the craftsmen kneeling on the ground, and waved his hands: "Get up."

He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, without me, let's take a look at these tools of yours?"

Chen Ke supported his forehead, but there was nothing he could do at this time.

The thing about farm tools is indeed very important. Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin people have two things they are best at.

One is good at farming, and the other is good at bravery.

In this agriculture-oriented world, farm tools control the development of productive forces and the changes of social systems.

More than 300 years ago, the appearance of iron farm tools and cattle plowing led to a leap in productivity, and several countries in the Warring States Period began reforms one after another.

Shang Yang's reform was also carried out against this background.

But now, new farm tools are about to appear, how can Ying Zheng not be excited?

He felt that this might be the second "Shang Yang Reform",

The first Shang Yang reform laid the foundation for the unification of Qin, so what about this time?

What kind of changes will it bring to Daqin?

He looked at the agricultural tools in front of Chen Ke with a little curiosity in his eyes. These three things were very strange.

Ying Zheng casually picked up the samarium sickle that was put aside, and after gesticulating twice, he found that it would indeed be much more comfortable to use it to reclaim wasteland.

At least twice as fast as the original.

And that's enough.

After the people registered their household registration, they have already begun to have the idea of ​​reclaiming wasteland. They want more land, but they just suffer from not having so much strength.

The effort saved by this thing can allow them to cultivate more fields.

And these fields can bring more food to Daqin and themselves, so that they can live better.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The function of this thing is really good."

"It's just that this thing is made of "iron", can the common people have the money to make this thing? "

He was a little worried: "If the people can't afford it, what's the use of making these things?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Chen Ke, who was thinking, said subconsciously: "Why do the common people make and buy?"

"Can't they rent it?"

lease?

The corners of Ying Zheng's eyes were curious: "You mean, let the government pay for the manufacture of these things, and let the common people pay for the lease?"

Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng with seriousness on his face.

Farm tools are important, but ordinary people don't often use them
At least two of the three things he made were like this.

Regardless of whether it is a columbine cart or a curved plow, although it is not very difficult to manufacture, it is not something ordinary people can afford because of the need for "iron".

If they are ordered to make it, it will only bring more suffering to the people.

It violated Chen Ke's original intention.

But Chen Ke felt that leasing this thing was really useful.

Especially in this social premise.

If you change to a later life, you lease something and it breaks, although others can make you pay for it, but if you are really a scoundrel, who doesn’t care even if you have a credit report, what else can he do to you?
But now it's different.

Dare to damage the government's farm tools without losing money?

Do you want to die, or do you want to die with the whole family, or do you want to die with the nine clans?

There are so many ways to die in Qin Law, there is always one you like, right? (bushi)

Therefore, Chen Ke is not worried about losing money.

Because this is a worthless thing.

After he expressed his thoughts, Ying Zheng was also rubbing his chin and contemplating.

This is indeed a way.
"Your Majesty, Xu Fu brought back not only silver mines, but also iron mines, have you forgotten?"

A smile appeared on Chen Ke's face: "Using these iron ores is enough to make a batch of new agricultural tools."

"And it doesn't mean that the whole of Daqin will use this farm tool immediately."

"We can take our time."

"The first is Xianyang City and the counties near Xianyang City. Let the local county magistrate count how many villages and towns there are in each county, and let the county magistrate count a specific number."

"After that, let the local county guards dispatch craftsmen to build it."

"According to the number of one or two in each village, there are probably only ten or twenty in a county."

"Then it will be placed in the county government office. For those who need to use farm tools, the villagers and village elders will come to apply for it, and how long each village can use it."

"How much do you need to pay?"

"In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for the village, and on the other hand, it creates some extra money for the imperial court."

"Although there are not many, it is like a trickle, constantly flowing in."

Ying Zheng listened to Chen Ke's plan and found it really interesting.
However, he had a new question.

"I don't need to say much about the importance of farm tools."

"Why not just let the common people use this thing for free?"

"Isn't the imperial court unable to afford the money?"

When Chen Ke heard Ying Zheng's words, he just shook his head silently: "Your Majesty, Sheng Mien, Dou Michou."

"If the people are used to relying on the imperial court and relying on His Majesty, will they still be able to be as open-minded as His Majesty when they are replaced by His Majesty's descendants after a hundred or a thousand years?"

"That's why, instead of making the people complain about the court at that time."

"It's better to cut off this idea in advance now, and it can also make the people self-reliant."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng was slightly silent.

I don't know whether it is the phrase "children of future generations" or the phrase "make the people self-reliant".

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is mid-September.

Xiang Yu was still wearing plain clothes, and there was still a little sadness on his face.

In front of him stood the disciples who were taken away from Chu, only a few hundred of them.

Of course, this is not to say that Xiang Yu only has hundreds of soldiers, but that there are only a few hundred in this place now.

Xiang Yu looked at the vast distance with a heavy expression.

"Even if the soldiers, big and small, add up, it's only about eight hundred armors."

He sighed: "How can this be an uprising?"
