I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 36 Potatoes are Ripe, Dig!
There are not many commonly used characters in Xiaozhuan.

Nothing more than a few thousand.

so many words.

Carving is not complicated at all, for the craftsmen of Daqin.

Even Temiao's terracotta warriors and horses have been made. These things are naturally very simple.

What Gongshu Shangzao said was nothing more than a few minor problems in the production.

At this moment, he said.

"This movable type must be made of copper, stone, or wood!"

"Can't you use steel?"

Ying Changsheng asked a rather uninitiated question.

Gongshu Shangzao shook his head repeatedly.

"Iron is easy to rust, so it's not easy to preserve!"

Well, iron does rust easily.

And copper is better.

Rusty unpleasant.

Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty seems to have used copper movable type.

"To make the first batch, you should try copper, stone, wood, three materials, and then choose the most suitable one from them, which is not easy to break, and the one with clear writing. Come and use it as movable type!"

Gongshu Shangzao said his opinion, Ying Changsheng was very satisfied, he nodded.

Immediately, he asked the latter again.

"The method has been said, when will the finished product be produced?"

"It will take three to five days. There are many skilled craftsmen in the palace. Just call them over to carve..."

Gongshu Shangzao thought for a while and then said.

Immediately, he said again.

"This technology is quite good. Your Highness, I want to report to the Patriarch of my family. Will I reveal your secrets to the Nineteenth Prince?"

"Haha, what the hell, just say whatever you want!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile, and then he thought for a moment, thinking of himself and the Quyuanli he had just obtained, and he said immediately.

"I still have something here that I want you to make. Moreover, this is not just one piece, but a large batch. In the future, Shaofu will need to make at least [-] pieces!"

"What do you want so much?"

Gongshu Shangzao rolled his eyes and exclaimed.

"Plough!"

Ying Changsheng said.

"We, Da Qin, are based on agriculture and farming and war. We must consider both war and farming!"

"For plows, it is natural to make them, but [-] pieces is too much, right? The common people can build them themselves, so the imperial court doesn't have to make so many plows. The cost of making so many plows is not a small amount... ..."

Gongshu Shangzao frowned slightly.

The people of Daqin have no shortage of farm tools.

Making so many plows for no reason is nothing more than consuming national power.

"Well, let's make a few copies first, is this the head office?"

Ying Changsheng saw that Gongshu Shangzao was a little reluctant, so he immediately changed his strategy.

Thinking about it carefully, there is some reason for Gongshu to block it.

After all, one hundred thousand plows is not a small amount.

The most important thing is that no one knows the usefulness of this thing, even Brother Zheng, will not agree with him easily!

You know, in this era of backward productivity, it takes much more work to build a plow than to build a weapon!
After handing over the blueprint to Gongshu Shangzao in front of him, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

It was Fusu who came in.

"Longevity!"

"Brother, come to me, what's the matter?"

Ying Changsheng glanced at Fusu, but Fusu turned his gaze on Zhang Liang, and immediately taught him a lesson.

"Zhang Liang, I, Da Qin, pardoned your life. You should cherish it. Don't do those stupid things again. Otherwise, no one in the world will be able to forgive your life even if someone intercedes again!"

"Zhang Liang understands!"

Zhang Liang answered quickly and respectfully.

This made Fusu a little bit more satisfied with him.

Immediately, I saw Fusu smiling, and said to Ying Changsheng.

"Changsheng, according to the day you said, the potatoes planted in the imperial garden should probably be ripe, right?"

"This one……"

Ying Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, then carefully calculated the time in his mind, and immediately slapped his thigh.

"Yeah, it's time to accept it!"

"Then, let's go and have a look!"

Fusu said.

He couldn't wait to see how the potatoes in the ground were growing.

After all, this thing is related to the future of the Great Qin's national destiny.

It is related to the future grain production of Daqin.

If this thing is really as high as the nineteenth brother said, the output is so high.

Then, the great Qin Dynasty will last for thousands of years, just around the corner!

"Your Highness, what is this potato? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhang Cang, on the other hand, approached Fusu respectfully and asked Ying Changsheng about it.

Well, in Daqin, not many people know about Tudou. At present, Zhang Cang is like this, and Zhang Liang, who is at the side, also looks confused.

He has traveled all over the world, and he is well-informed.

But I have never heard of potatoes.

"One kind of crop, food, can reach sixty or seventy shi per mu!"

Ying Changsheng explained to Zhang Liang and Zhang Cang.

With a hiss, there was a sound of sucking air in the air.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Cang stared at Ying Changsheng in disbelief.

Well, both of them refused to believe that one mu of land could produce sixty or seventy shi of grain.

Ying Changsheng had seen the expressions of the two of them a lot these days.

In Daqin, although Fusu, Wang Jian, and brother Zheng all seem to be very hopeful that a high-yield grain with an yield of tens of stones per mu will appear on their own land.

However, they refused to believe it.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can produce so much per mu.

This is a very contradictory mentality.

However, it is normal.

Because their thinking is solidified.

Moreover, in their impression, an acre of land is worth a few stones of grain. Ying Changsheng suddenly multiplied this number by more than ten times, and there was no real evidence. Therefore, it is no wonder that Fusu and the others were suspicious of this Toy production.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng was not in the mood to argue with Zhang Liang and Zhang Cang.

he said directly.

"Believe it or not, let's go to the imperial garden and find out!"

"Yes, let's go to the imperial garden to have a look!"

Fusu nodded, and the group went to the imperial garden just like that.

Even Gongshu Shangzao didn't go to the Shaofu to urge the craftsmen to make things according to Ying Changsheng's instructions, but followed the past and it seemed lively.

Royal Garden.

These days, here, there has been guarded by the imperial army, and no one has come in to do damage. Under the hard care of the eunuchs, the vines on the surface of the potatoes and sweet potatoes are growing gratifyingly, but it is not known whether the fruits underground are as good as the surface.

"Get some tools!"

After entering the imperial garden, Ying Changsheng gave the order to the eunuch.

The latter, not long after, found a large number of tools, all of which were the latest iron farm tools.

"This potato is buried in the ground. When we dig it, we must first find the location of its rhizome, and then dig deep along the surrounding sides. Do not dig directly along the roots, as this will cause damage to the underground potatoes..."
