Chapter 34: Encyclopedia, Shame of the Traverser!
Qin Shi Huang frowned.
Holding the bamboo slip, he looked at Cao Xiu strangely.
This man is really weird!
He said that he wrote it, but he didn't admit it.
Now it's good, the title of the book is "Cao Xiushu".
"What kind of book is this?"
"Illiterate?"
Cao Xiu said angrily.
This book is his brainchild's work. He collected several huge books from ancient and modern times, including his many years of experience, and painstakingly copied them...... Integrated. This includes agriculture, medicine, industry, etc., as long as it is finished, it will be the first encyclopedia of the Qin State and even the world.
Of course, Cao Xiu didn't finish writing at all.
He wrote these two volumes.
As for the rest?
Ahem, it was suspended due to many force majeure factors.
There's no way, it's too tiring to do it behind closed doors. There is no reader to recommend a ticket or a monthly pass to support him, so he is happy. Without support, there is naturally little motivation.
Qin Shi Huang has a bad problem, that is, he reads while watching.
"Planting grass: planting grass has no period, because the place is timely. When the elm pods rain in March, the strong soil in the highlands can be planted with grass. Minoru He, eighty or ninety days after the summer solstice, often in the middle of the night, there is frost in the sky if the white dew falls, in order to be peaceful, so that the two people hold a long rope opposite, each holding one end, in order to summarize the grass, go to the frost and dew, and the sunrise is stopped. In this way, the grain will not be harmed......"
The more Qin Shi Huang looked at it, the more he liked it, and this article was written brilliantly, talking about how to grow corn. Planting methods was not uncommon, but there were some methods that he had never heard of.
Then he continued to flip through it.
"Plant millet: The millet is also in the summer, and the planter will wait for the summer. On the twentieth day of the summer solstice, there is rain at this time, and the strong soil can be planted. All kinds of millet are planted, covered with soil and hoeed, all are like the law; I want to neglect the grass. ”
"Seed potatoes: In addition to the hundred grains, there are also those who can be used as grains. Potatoes, potatoes also. The flowers are purple and the leaves are round, the roots are raw taro, the roots are as long as threads, and there are more than a dozen fruits. Slices can be stored for a long time, and grinding flour can also be used to make grain. Cure the famine, the reserve of the poor. The poor have a piece of land in a ravine, and dig potatoes often for dozens of stones, while the rich harvest hundreds of stones a year. ”
“???”
Xiu'er, are you really?!
Wang Jian stared, but he didn't expect that even the potatoes last time were described. What's more critical is the above record, dozens or hundreds of stones, this thing really has such a high yield per mu?
Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait to continue to read in the back.
It's a pity that the bamboo slips have come to an end.
"What about the back?"
"It's gone......
"Gone?!"
Qin Shi Huang gritted his teeth and glared at Cao Xiu, and the addiction suddenly came up. He was looking at it with great energy, and it turned out that he was gone?
That's it, but this one also came to an abrupt end at a critical moment. The key is that this book is obviously more valuable, saying that the documented cultivation methods are very useful. As for the seed potatoes, he still didn't believe it. The facts are not in front of him, even if Cao Xiu blows to the sky, he will not believe half a word.
"You wrote the book?"
"Well, half and half."
Cao Xiu opened his mouth with a slight weakness. Everything is written by someone else, and he is responsible for sorting out and transcribing it. He wants half of the credit, shouldn't it be too much?
"And half of it?"
"......No," Cao Xiu sighed, "What I wanted before was to record all the grains, animals, and vegetables, and at the same time attach my farming experience over the years." But then I found that this work was too laborious, so I always thought about writing it tomorrow. ”
"What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow after tomorrow!"
“……”
“……”
Qin Shi Huang and Wang Jian looked at each other.
Cao thief!
is obviously talented, but he is obsessed with money and money, wasting his ability. As far as Cao Xiu said, if his book can really be famous, everyone in the capital of Qianzhou in the world will have a copy, which will be comparable to the "Book of the Day".
"What do you two mean by these eyes, you can do it! Do you know how long it takes to write this thing? grass, millet, wheat, rice, barnyard weed, soybean, fir, hemp, gourd, mulberry...... All of these have to be investigated on the spot, and different places have different planting methods, and they have to be cultivated according to local conditions. ”
Cao Xiu is eloquent.
Then, he patted the two of them on the shoulder very seriously.
"Therefore, this good deed, which has been passed down through the ages, will be handed over to you. In the future, if I speak plainly, you will be responsible for polishing the records for me, no problem, right? ”
“……”
“……”
Cao Xiu is also a little weak now.
Although he is a traverser, he still has no protagonist halo, and he can only save some money by stealing and playing tricks. In fact, there were many agricultural books like this in ancient times. For example, "The Book of Victory", "The Art of Qi Min", and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration...... I've heard and seen all of these Cao Xiu, but I've forgotten a lot of them.
If he can have the ability to remember, he will not achieve nothing in his previous life. What he writes by himself is what he thinks of and what he writes, and with his own fieldwork experience, it is a bit like a collection of various agricultural books.
Shame on you!
Why can't he remember them all?
"Why did Xiu'er do this?"
"Before, I was idle and bored, so I should practice calligraphy."
"Your handwriting is really good."
"This is written by grass, and this is what I wrote."
“……”
Qin Shi Huang looked at the small seal twisted like an earthworm on the bamboo slip, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Just this word, are you embarrassed to laugh at his ugly words?!
Cao Xiu sighed and continued: "Originally, I thought that I would use it in the future, but since I want to be added to the ranks, I naturally have to show some real skills." ”
"Makes sense."
Qin Shi Huang was quite recognizant of this.
If Cao Xiu wants to enter Qin, he must come out with real skills. Otherwise, you won't even be able to get out of Surabaya County, let alone enter Xianyang as an official. Just like this, you can also take advantage of the situation to take out Cao Xiu's bottom, if Cao Xiu will be against Qin in the future, then it will be okay to kill him.
In public and private, Qin Shi Huang would not tolerate anti-thieves. Even if Cao Xiu saved his life and even had great talents, it wouldn't work. Plotting against him is already a great kindness to him.
"Is this what you're really capable of?"
Wang Jian held the half-roll bamboo slip and couldn't help complaining.
He did not deny that this book of agriculture was indeed valuable, but in fact there were similar laws in the Qin state. The Qin State was the most important in farming, so the cultivation method of farmland was recorded in the Canglu. Some Qianshou farmers are not good at farming, and there will be local Lingshi to teach them according to the canglaw, and even write how many seeds are used for an acre of land.
If Cao Xiu's agricultural book can be written, maybe it's okay.
But this is only half a volume, where is it qualified?
"Don't rush yet, let's take our time."
Cao Xiu took out the silk silk as he spoke, "For example, this curved plow is much lighter and more labor-saving than the existing plow." I've worked so hard to restore this thing, and I promise it works! ”
"Wait......" Qin Shi Huang couldn't help frowning, "Have you forgotten?" As the head of the local pavilion, you should govern the place with a three-foot wooden slab, instead of doing the craftsman's work on your behalf. As the saying goes, ministers are not allowed to overstep their official positions and have merit, and they are not allowed to make statements without being appropriate. If you exceed the official, you will die, and if you are not right, you will be guilty! ”
"Who overstepped the line?"
"You haven't yet?"
"I picked up this silk silk, and I didn't make it." Cao Xiu's face was full of seriousness, and he said indifferently: "I am going to dedicate this agricultural weapon to the country now!" ”
“???”
“……”
And this kind of operation?!
