When people were in Qin Dynasty, they changed the world by swiping entries

Chapter 495 Gongshuqiu: The Mo family is here, why not give me some advice?

After hearing what Bai Yuan said, the Six-fingered Black Man said with confidence:

"That's right, we plan to settle down near Xianyang temporarily, also to better observe the situation in Qin."

"But the Mo family's stronghold near Xianyang was raided by other forces some time ago and has been completely exposed and unusable, so we hope you can help us find a place to place the Moh family disciples."

Last night, everyone in the Mo family had to book several inns before they could barely stay.

As for staying in an inn every day, regardless of whether the inn in Xianyang is sufficient, the ongoing cost is not a small amount.

For long-term considerations, they definitely cannot stay in the inn forever.

After coming out of Guancheng, the expenses along the way are already quite high.

Since you have decided to come to Xianyang for a while, and maybe even settle down here instead of leaving, naturally it would be better to have a stronghold belonging to the Mo family.

Bai Yuan was still a little confused after hearing the Six-Fingered Black Man's words.

But after seeing the expressions on the faces of other people in the Mo family, Bai Yuan understood something.

In fact, Ying Zheng had already offered a very good deal to the Mo family yesterday. As long as the Six-fingered Black Man agreed to join the court as an official, not to mention finding a place to house the Mohist disciples, he would even grant them a piece of land to build a Mohist government city. That's not a bad idea.

Just like the Yin Yang family was originally based in the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital in Wushan, which was not within the territory of Da Qin. After they decided to support the Qin State, they also received Taibai Mountain as their new sect's headquarters.

It can be seen that Ying Zheng is still very generous to his allies.

But the Mo family obviously haven't thought about it yet, so they don't want to accept Ying Zheng's kindness in vain.

Bai Yuan was also in trouble for a while.

"There are many disciples of the Mo family, and we also know that this is indeed a problem. We don't want to settle everyone at once. As long as the old, young, women and children can settle down first, it will be enough. We will think about the rest later. Method."

The Six-Fingered Black Man also knew that his request would be difficult to handle.

The Mohist School is not like the Taoist School, which has a very high threshold for accepting disciples. Anyone who conforms to the Mohist philosophy can join the Mohist School.

Therefore, the number of Mohist disciples and knights was all over the world at its peak, making the princes extremely fearful.

Nowadays, even though the Mo family is not as powerful as before, it is still a large sect with a large population, and there are thousands of disciples brought out from the government city.

In addition, for the sake of safety, the Six-fingered Black Man also sent messages to the Mohist strongholds in various places to ask them to move. Therefore, more Mohist disciples will come to Qin in the future, and it will be more difficult to relocate them.

With this number of people, a large village could be built directly.

Bai Yuan thought for a while and sighed.

"Actually, it's best to let King Qin help you solve this matter. We know you may still be hesitant and worried. So, why don't I take you to a place to see it first, and then you can make a decision."

The six black knights and others looked at each other, and then nodded.

Bai Yuan said hello to the others, then took the Six-fingered Black Man and others out and rushed to Lantian County.

After Ying Zheng officially began to adopt and implement the plan proposed by Bai Yuan, Lantian County has become a benchmark for Great Qin.

Da Qin set up a workshop here for Gong Shuqiu to invent and manufacture mechanical equipment.

Whether it is an institution used to improve people's livelihood or an institution used to strengthen military strength, they all come out from here.

Because of this, many new mechanical devices will be tested and promoted here first, and if the results are good, production will be expanded.

In addition to the Lantian Camp stationed here to protect Xianyang, there is also a standing guard of 30,000 people. Their duty is not to protect Xianyang, but to simply protect Lantian County.

It is precisely because of this that the place is heavily guarded. Without Ying Zheng's order, even the prime minister cannot enter.

Fortunately, Bai Yuan is an exception.

He was the originator of the plan and was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, so no one dared to stop him from entering or exiting, but he would still receive the required notifications.

Ying Zheng will also know when Bai Yuan has been in and out of Lantian County.

Six-fingered Black Man and others followed Bai Yuan and went through many inspections before finally passing the guards here and arriving at Lantian County.

Because of this tight guard, Six-Fingered Black Man and others also became extremely curious about this place.

Sitting on the carriage, the two more active guys, Daozhi and Jing Ke, couldn't help but lift the curtains and look out.

"This...is this really Lantian County?"

What greeted them were quiet and peaceful scenes.

Originally they thought this place was some kind of military area, but it looked like a very ordinary village.

Bai Yuan smiled and briefly explained to them.

"Lantian County is the first test site for high-yield rice, but it is already winter, so the rice has been harvested long ago. If you had come a few months earlier, you might still be able to see the scene at that time."

"High-yielding rice? What do you mean? Does it mean the yield is very high?"

Jing Ke turned around, scratched the back of his head, and asked with some confusion.

Bai Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Of course, the yield of the land here was about one and a half shi per mu before, but after planting new high-yielding rice, the yield per mu has been more than 15 shi, with the highest reaching 23 shi."

As soon as Bai Yuan finished speaking, the carriage became silent for an instant, and the only sound that could be heard was the turning of the wheels outside.

After a while, Jing Ke opened his eyes wide and shouted?
"Did you just say seize the young master?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was very satisfied with Jing Ke's expression.

"It's only 15 stones."

"15 stones! Just pay it back?"

Robber Zhi couldn't help but complain.

He has never seen such exaggerated data!
Even the usually calm Six-Fingered Black Man was shocked when he heard this data.

"If this is true, then it is understandable that King Qin would set up such a strict guard in Lantian County."

An ordinary Lantian County is not worth what King Qin did.

But Lantian County, which has a rice yield of more than 15 shi per mu, is well worth it.

Even that may not be enough.

You must know that with such a high-yielding crop, if there is enough planting area, it will not be difficult to feed the people all over the world.

"Now Daqin has gradually promoted this kind of rice across the country and is preparing to plant it in all places suitable for planting. So in fact, the more important thing is not the rice, but that Lantian County will be used as an experimental field for new things in the future."

"New high-yielding crops, new machine technologies, and even new systems will be tested here first, and will be promoted nationwide only after the results meet expectations."

"This makes Lantian County a unique and irreplaceable existence."

Six-fingered Black Man, Master Ban and others were still a little confused after hearing Bai Yuan's description.
But they can also roughly guess that this "experimental field" must be of great significance to Da Qin.

Bai Yuan didn't explain that much to them. Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

Therefore, Bai Yuan took everyone from the Mo family directly to the most important machine workshop in Lantian County. On the way to the mechanism workshop, Six Finger Heixia and others saw various mechanism equipment manufactured by the Gongshu family as a matter of course.

These include mechanical facilities such as curved shaft plows and mechanical harvesters that can improve the efficiency of farming and harvesting.

These seemingly unfamiliar mechanical creations are full of temptations for Master Ban and the Six-Fingered Black Man.

"Are these devices manufactured by the Gongshu family?"

"Yes."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Although some mechanisms and equipment were inspired by him, they were basically manufactured by Gongshu himself, and Bai Yuan rarely participated in them.

The six-fingered black man couldn't help but look at Gong Shuqiu in his heart.

"Although I have heard about this for a long time, it still feels incredible to see these mechanical artifacts that are not used for war killings with my own eyes."

"This is completely contrary to the Gongshu family's concept of overbearing machine skills. It is difficult to imagine that it could be the masterpiece of the Gongshu family."

The same goes for the rest of the Mo family.

Bai Yuan actually smiled.

"Gongshu Qiu is actually not as you imagine. He is not a war madman."

"Besides, in my opinion, agencies are agencies. Whether they are used to improve people's livelihood or to attack cities and demolish strongholds, they all achieve the same goal in different ways. The quality of the agencies cannot be judged based on this. In the end, it still depends on who uses them. , what is it being used for.”

"After all, mechanism art is a technology that serves people."

The Six-fingered Black Man couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing Bai Yuan's opinions on the mechanism technique.

His thoughts are actually somewhat similar to those of Mohism.

The Mohists never criticized the Gongshu family's overbearing machine skills, but rather recognized and appreciated their skills.

What they criticize has always been the Gongshu family's use of machine beasts in wars to help careerists invade other countries.

The mechanism technique is dead, but the person who uses the mechanism technique is alive.

There is nothing right or wrong about the emergence of a technology.

But people do.

After seeing these machine creations, Six-Fingered Black Man suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.

Not long after, everyone came to the mechanism workshop.

Then they saw that there were actually guards guarding this place, and they seemed to be more elite.

But they didn't feel too surprised.

This is obviously the most important place in Lantian County.

They would only be surprised if no one was watching.

Gongshuqiu seemed to have received the news in advance, so he put down his work and came out to greet Bai Yuan.

However, when he saw the Six-fingered Black Man, Master Ban and others, the smile on Gong Shuqiu's face froze.

"Master Bai Yuan, why are they here too?"

Gongshu Chou did not hide his dislike for the Mohist family at all. Anyway, it was well known to the world that Gongshu Chou and the Mohist family would not deal with them.

If Bai Yuan hadn't been here, Gong Shuqiu would have even asked someone to drive them out.

Bai Yuan also knew that there would definitely be conflicts when the two parties met. He sighed slightly, and then said to Gong Shuqiu:
"I'll bring them here to see the results of Mr. Gongshu's work during this period."

Gong Shuqiu stared at Six-fingered Black Man and Master Ban for a long time, and finally nodded to make way for them.

He also knew that Ying Zheng planned to win over the Mo family. Although he was a little unhappy, Gong Shuqiu still saw his position clearly and would not stand in the way of this matter.

Six-fingered Black Man, Master Ben and others were actually a little embarrassed, so in order to reduce the conflict, they never spoke.

Entering the machine workshop, everyone can see many various machine creations.

What caught everyone's attention the most was a giant machine. It didn't look like a war machine, but a... plow?

In fact it is.

Gong Shuqiu introduced this machine creation to Bai Yuan.

"Before, I was inspired by the curved shaft plow and the mechanism harvester. I was thinking that since crops can be harvested so quickly using mechanism technology, whether we can also design a new mechanism during planting to greatly improve the planting efficiency. Effect."

"This mechanism is the result of my research during this period. I modified it on the basis of the Quyuan plow and created this mechanism seeder."

"It combines the functions of plowing and sowing into one. In my design, it can complete the two tasks of plowing and sowing at the same time, which greatly improves the planting speed of the people."

When Gong Shuqiu was talking about his masterpiece, he glanced at the Six-fingered Black Man and Master Ban, and there was a hint of showing off in his tone unconsciously.

But at this time, one of the disciples of the public loser really scratched his head in an honest manner.

"Master, didn't you just tell us that there are still some problems with this automatic seeder? Its plowing and sowing functions will be confused, and it may crush the rice seedlings that have just been sown. At this stage, this automatic seeder It’s totally useless.”

Gong Shuqiu's proud little expression suddenly froze, his neck turned a little stiffly, and he glared at his disciple fiercely.

The people in the Mo family were still surprised that Gong Shuqiu's mechanism skills had improved again, but when this happened suddenly, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Only the Six-fingered Black Man didn't laugh, but looking at his trembling shoulders, you could tell that he was enduring a lot of hardship.

Bai Yuan coughed twice and suppressed his smile.

"Your idea is very good, but you still have to take it step by step. I believe that if you are willing to work hard, you will be able to build this mechanical seeder sooner or later."

Gongshu Qiu also knew that his work still had flaws, so he nodded.

But he soon pointed the finger at the Mo family.

"Master Bai Yuan is absolutely right. I also know that I'm still not very good at some things. It just so happens that everyone from the Mo family is here today. Why don't you help me take a look and give me some pointers?"

When Bai Yuan saw what Gong Shuqiu said, he also looked at the Six-fingered Black Man and the others.

He did not speak out to stop Gong Shuqiu from provoking the Mohist family.

The six-fingered black man hesitated and looked at Master Ban.

Master Ben nodded to him.

"I don't dare to give you advice, but since it's all about mechanisms, we in the Mo family do have our own opinions."

Master Ben stepped forward, took out a convex crystal from somewhere, used it as a magnifying glass, and carefully inspected the mechanical seeder.

No one else bothered him, but Gong Shuqiu squinted his eyes and put his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking.

He didn't know if the Mohist family could put forward any effective suggestions. Although he didn't deal with the Mohist family, he also knew that the Mohist family's mechanism skills were not in vain.
