There is still a group of envoys, after a long journey, finally arrived in the sphere of influence of Chang'an City.

At this time, the group settled in a small tribe dozens of miles east of Chang'an City.

This small tribe is extremely afraid of the people from the east, whether it is Dongyi or Daqi, these small tribes cannot afford to provoke.

In the face of these uninvited guests, the small tribe can only be cautiously entertained, and dare not have the slightest disrespect.

Once the envoys had settled down, the leader of the envoys summoned the tribal patriarch to his side.

The patriarch of this small clan asked worriedly: "The noble man called the villain to come and I don't know what to ask." ”

The messenger said, "How far is this place from the Three Castles?" ”

"Three Cities? The noble man is talking about Chang'an City!"

"Chang'an City? What do you mean! ”

The messenger wondered.

"The leader of Daqi, after destroying Sanshu City, changed the city to Chang'an City."

The envoy sneered when he heard this: "It means something, it will take a few days to get from here to Chang'an City." ”

"It's a quick day walk."

The messenger nodded: "Tell me about the situation of destroying the tribe of Sanshu. ”

The patriarch was puzzled: "What do you want to ask, the villain doesn't know where to start for a while." ”

"Let's talk about the military strength and population of Daqi!"

The patriarch said with a bitter face: "Back to the nobles, how many soldiers there are in Daqi, the villain doesn't know, although the small clan is within the scope of Daqi, it's just that the villain has only been to Chang'an City once, and he doesn't know anything!" ”

The messenger's face turned cold, and he said, "Do you want to deceive so-and-so?" ”

Seeing this, the patriarch was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "The noble man is angry, but the villain doesn't dare!" ”

The messenger snorted coldly and said, "Tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes! Be! ”

The patriarch wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "After the destruction of the Great Qi Sanshu, he sent an army to make our small clan submit, the Great Qi is strong, our clan does not dare to disobey, the villain went to Chang'an City with the rest of the clan chiefs, Wu Meiou saw the leader of the Great Qi, the officials of the Great Qi said that in the future, our small clan must obey the orders of the Great Qi, and each tribe is divided into a village, and the small clan is now called Hedong Village on the side of the Great Qi." ”

"What's in it for them to be a village?"

The messenger frowned.

"The villain... The villain didn't know, but after being divided into a village, the tribes did not have to pay tribute, Daqi told us that there would be officials who collected taxes to come and collect taxes, and the villain felt that there was no difference in paying tribute before, but we didn't have to send it in person. ”

After the patriarch finished speaking, he glanced at the messenger apprehensively, and hurriedly lowered his head.

The envoy frowned, although he didn't know what Daqi's intentions were in this way, but it definitely wouldn't be the same as paying tribute.

"What else?"

"Back to the nobles, the rest of the villains really don't know."

The messenger nodded, waved his hand, and told him to stand down.

"Sifu (see note), this small tribe seems to me to be quite rich, so it is better for us to conquer it and incorporate it into our people."

Beside the messenger, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the young man.

"No, this time we are not here to seek war, this clan is a vassal group of the Great Qi, if we move him, it will affect Bo's plan."

The young man greedily glanced at the small tribe, licked his lips and said: "It's a pity, I don't know what kind of bird tribe it is, it's worth it to win them over, if you want me to see it, it is only right to destroy it directly and take people into slavery." ”

The messenger frowned, a little speechless at this guy who only had muscles but no brains.

"You must not make mistakes, and if you spoil the great plan of the uncle, not only you, but your people will also be affected by you."

The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, you know." ”

At this time, in Chang'an City, a major event occurred that shocked hundreds of officials.

The Ministry of Industry has made a sharp weapon that can turn over the soil, and today Yang Hao invited hundreds of officials and outside the city to watch.

Early in the morning, in a vacant lot outside the city that had already been cleared, dozens of officials discussed with each other, asking what the sharp weapon and status of the Ministry of Industry were.

Because the bronze weapons and tools produced by the Ministry of Industry performed very well in practice, over time, a fixed mode of thinking was formed in everyone's hearts, that is, everything produced by the Ministry of Industry must be a high-quality product.

This time, Yang Hao was able to gather so many people to watch, it must be a great thing.

Especially the people in the military are looking forward to this thing.

The new bronze weapons have already opened their eyes, and if they make more sharp weapons, the officers even feel that the Daqi tribe can pull Xia Qi down from the throne.

In anticipation of everyone, Yang Hao came by car, followed by an ox cart, and on top of the ox cart was a strange-looking thing.

"Meet the Chief!"

When everyone saw Yang Hao coming, they immediately bowed.

"Everyone, please get up!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

Yang Hao smiled: "I've kept you waiting, Wei!" Let's go! ”

Wei nodded and ordered the craftsman to unload the contents of the car.

In the curious eyes of everyone, I saw several craftsmen leading a cow to the clearing.

A few other craftsmen carried the strange thing and placed it behind the cow's buttocks, like a cart, and after a while of busyness fastened it to the cow's neck.

Novelty always attracts people's eyes, and only a crisp whip sounds, the scalper flicks his tail and walks forward slowly.

And a craftsman holds a whip in one hand and the odd thing in the other.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that as the cattle advanced, the soil rolled to the sides, forming a ravine.

Perhaps because of the unskilled skills of the craftsmen, this ravine was a little crooked, but this unbelievable sight still stunned everyone present.

"Miracles! What a miracle! ”

The crowd was amazed.

After walking about fifty meters, Wei asked the ploughing man to stop and hurriedly ran over to check the condition of the ploughshare.

"Leader Qiqi, the ploughshare is fine!"

Yang Hao nodded when he heard this, and said, "Plow again!" ”

The scalper turned around and walked slowly in the direction of the crowd.

This time, the ditch was much straighter than before, and the soft soil was rolled out like a fine work of art.

"What do you think?"

Yang Hao said in a deep voice.

"This thing is really an artifact, but my subordinates don't know what the use of this soil is."

Yin sighed and asked the puzzle in his heart.

Seeing that the rest of the people were also at a loss, Yang Hao said: "You are not competent as an official, Shaoyan, what is the use of turning the earth." ”

Shaoyan thought about it, raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly: "The leader means that this thing is for farming. ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Yes, this thing is a sharp tool for farming, with this thing, it can save dozens of people the pain of turning over the soil and sowing seeds, only a cow, a ploughshare, and a person, and dozens of acres of fertile land can be cultivated in one day."

Yin, although you are an official, you must not be ignorant of farming, and you must also understand that cultivation is the foundation of our people.

”

When they heard this, their hearts were horrified, and they looked at the strange-looking ploughshare, and their eyes almost lit up.
