Chapter 64: The Scythe

Autumn harvest?

Qin An remembered the time when he was a child, with his parents, grandparents, and a group of uncles cutting rice together.

I remember that at that time, you and your uncle had a tractor in the whole village to plough the land for the village, so there was no need to use oxen to plough the village.

For this, my uncle also made a lot of money, if it wasn't for his father being too real, his life would have been better.

"I remember, my husband said that there are better tools to speed up our harvest." Ying Zheng said.

Qin An bowed his head and said: "Yes, the best tool for harvesting is the sickle, I will draw it, Lao Meng, you let the blacksmith room build it." ”

"Okay." Meng Tian replied.

"Without further ado. I'm going to paint now, sit down for a while, and make a brazier to light it when it's dark. Qin An said.

"Don't worry. We'll arrange it. Ying Zheng said.

After Qin An completely entered the room, Meng Tian walked to Qin An's door to carefully inquire about the situation in the room, and after making sure that Qin An was drawing drawings, he returned to his seat.

At this time, the Black Dragon Guard, who was guarding the door, came in to help Yingzheng and them light the torches, because after the sun goes down, the sky will soon be completely dark.

Then there was the Black Dragon Guard who went to Qin An's house to hold his hand. As long as Qin An comes out, he will notify Yingzheng and them.

"Your Majesty." Meng Tian said, "Now that Mr.'s strategy of razing and destroying is very effective against the Xiongnu, Weichen wants to set off for the border pass as soon as possible, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "If you don't mention this matter, I will let you go, and now the Huns have not completely solved it, and I still have trouble sleeping."

So the Great Wall still can't be stopped, after you go to the border pass, you need to do three things, one, continue to build the Great Wall, two, train according to the training method given by Mr., and third, look for puppets.

There must be no mistake in these three things, otherwise it will be difficult for the Huns to get rid of them. ”

"No." Meng Tian replied.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian left after getting the method of military training, will he be too anxious, I'm afraid Qin An will be suspicious." Lees said.

Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said, "What Li Si said is extremely true, Meng Tian, you stay a few more days, just to build some scythes that Qin An said."

If it really works, I will promote it nationwide. ”

"No." Meng Tian replied.

Li Si said: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Fusu and Gongzi said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

It's just that they lowered their voices, except for a few of them who could hear it, they couldn't hear it from a distance, this was to prevent Qin An from hearing it, otherwise it would be exposed.

Ying Zheng enjoyed it very much in his heart.

"Li Si, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are very, and I can already imagine that the entire world of readers will become crazy because of these four things."

Li Si also said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise, but suddenly there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, how should we control it, whether it is controlled by the imperial court, or controlled by local governments, or controlled by the people."

Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, this matter is really hard to say, now that Great Qin has unified the six countries and used Qin seals, there are many readers in the other six countries who resist it.

Recently, he ordered the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, and killed more than 400 Confucian students in Xianyang City, which is definitely a big deal, so once the pen, ink, paper and inkstone appear.

The Confucian scholars of the Six Kingdoms would definitely copy all the books of each country on paper and then preserve them, which gave the Confucian scholars of the Six Kingdoms the opportunity to preserve the written languages of each country.

Li Si and the others saw that Yingzheng didn't speak, so they stopped talking, and could only wait slowly.

Fusu opened his mouth and said: "Father, the son thinks that this matter should be handed over to Confucianism to deal with, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are what the scholars need, so we should let the scholars manage it." ”

Ying Zheng nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "Although the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are about scholars, they can't be handed over to them to solve, and I already know who to deal with." ”

"Who?" Fusu asked.

"Merchant." Ying Zheng said.

"Why a merchant?" Fusu asked puzzled.

Li Si thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Fu Su frowned and said, "Prime Minister, you already know what your father means. ”

"Yes, yes." Li Si said, "The eldest prince, businessmen go south and north, they are everywhere, if you give them pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you will definitely be able to promote it to the entire Great Qin, because there is a profit in it, and it is a very big profit."

If you let the readers deal with it, I'm afraid that only the whole Xianyang has paper to use, even if it can be used throughout the country, it can only be used by readers, and others can't use it. ”

"Is there something wrong?" Fusu asked, "Since pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are things that scholars need, isn't it possible for scholars to use them?" ”

"Ridiculous." Ying Zheng scolded angrily, "Chun Yuyue is really teaching you more and more stupid, after I go back this time, I must destroy his nine clans." ”

"Father, you must not." Fusu immediately stopped, "What Mr. taught me is the words of a saint. Erchen is not stupid at all, father, Erchen is right. ”

"You ......" Yingzheng was furious.

He couldn't wait to beat Su up at this time.

At this moment, the guard who handled the gate of Qin An suddenly heard a voice, and Yingzheng was not completely angry.

Qin An took a piece of paper with a sickle drawn, came to Ying Zheng and the others in a hurry, and handed over the drawings to Meng Tian, not feeling the tense atmosphere at all.

"Lao Meng, this is the sickle, you take it. Let's build one tomorrow and take a look," Qin An said.

"No." Meng Tian replied.

He respectfully took the drawing, frowning slightly at the sight of the scythe's style.

"Sir, why does this sickle look so much like a Hun weapon?"

"Like?" Qin An said, "However, when you say this, the appearance is really similar, but it is not a weapon of the Huns."

The first is that the blade is no longer on the outside but on the inside, and secondly, the blade of the sickle is jagged, which is very convenient for cutting wheat stalks. ”

"Then I'll build one tomorrow, and if I can use it, I'll make more for the villagers." Meng Tian said.

Then Meng Tian handed over the drawings to Ying Zheng and said, "Village chief, please take a look." ”

Ying Zheng took a look at it and said: "Just looking at the surface, the shape is indeed very similar to the weapons of the Huns. However, as Mr. said, there are many differences.

Tomorrow there will be more fights, let the villagers take it and give it a try, ask for suggestions on the name of the village, and then produce a large number of them. ”

"No." Meng Tian replied.

"That's right, you should let the village name give it a try, whether it's easy to use or not, they have the most say. In addition, I still have a lot of drawings of farm tools that have not been drawn, give me a few days, and I will try to build these farm tools within a month. Qin An said.

"There are even farm tools, and I ask Mr. to draw all the farm tools." Ying Zheng said.

"No problem, as long as I know it, I will draw it, which can be regarded as taking care of the village chief and the villagers." Qin An said with a smile.
