Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

"By the way, Mr. Wang, in addition to this curved plow, the court also has a blueprint for a waterwheel, which was also developed by the eldest son. I just can't understand it, why don't you go to the city gate and take a look?"

"Oh?"

"Waterwheel?"

"What is this for?"

Wang Quan immediately became curious when he heard this.

With the example of the curved plow, Wang Quan had already become interested in Fusu.

"The soldier doll said that this waterwheel can make the river water flow backwards and flow into the farmland..."

"what!"

Wang Quan, who had just regained his composure, was shocked again!

“Let the river water flow backwards and flow into the farmland?”

“Isn’t this the power of ghosts and gods?”

“Is there such a thing in the world?”

Wang Quan was shocked after hearing this!

If Wang Quan had just learned about the waterwheel before he had seen the curved plow, he would have sneered at it.

Let the rivers flow backwards?

Haha, are you kidding me?

The ghosts and gods in this world are all fooling people. How can such strange powers exist in the world?

But now......

After seeing the curved plow, Wang Quan's first choice was to be shocked rather than question.

He subconsciously chose to believe it, and was curious about what kind of magical thing this waterwheel was and how it was constructed...

"Come on, take me to the city gate to have a look. If this thing really exists, combined with the curved plow... this..."

"hiss!"

Wang Quan calculated secretly in his heart, and the more he calculated, the more frightened he became...

A curved plow alone is enough to increase farming efficiency by two or three times, if irrigation is omitted...

Four times!

Farming efficiency increased by at least four times!

The work that originally required four people to complete can now be done by one person!

And what about the three people who were freed? They are all labor force!

"Mr. Wang, do you think it is possible to increase our village's grain production by one or two times as much as the imperial court said?"

"We don't want to increase it that much, we'll be satisfied if we can increase it a little. This year we have enough food, but if we encounter a disaster next year..."

Feng Er was worried.

"Hahahahaha."

Wang Quan smiled when he heard this.

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing......?"

Feng Er looked at Wang Quan in confusion.

“One or two times? Hahahaha, Old Feng, you really underestimated these two magical objects!”

"Let's not talk about the waterwheel, just this curved plow is enough to double or triple our village's grain production. If the waterwheel is really as magical as the court says, then...next year's grain production will increase by at least four times!"

"what!"

Feng Er’s eyes widened suddenly.

"Four...four times?"

Wang Quan nodded: "This is a theoretical estimate. Of course, not every village can get enough curved plows and water wheels, but I think Fengjia Village will have no problem."

"Oh my goodness..."

Feng Er was stunned!

At this moment, there was only one word left in his mind - four times!

That’s four times!

Doesn’t this mean that one year is equivalent to four years of normal time?

And that’s not how you calculate it. The output is four times greater, but the consumption cost is the same!

It takes four years to farm the land, and people also have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate for four years, so the cost will naturally increase invisibly. Therefore, if the output is quadrupled, the actual surplus that can be obtained may be comparable to five years of savings!

"Come on, take me to the city gate to see what the waterwheel is. If it is really useful, I will get it out, and then the village can use it directly."

Wang Quan said confidently.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away..."

Feng Er understood Wang Quan's ability, so he immediately took Wang Quan on a bullock cart out of the village and headed to the gate of He County...

..........

The words are divided into two parts.

On the other side......

Xianyang.

In the palace.

Li Si, Wang Ben, Feng Quji and other ministers conducted a detailed discussion on the resettlement of 600,000 corvee laborers.

Fusu was mainly responsible for listening from the side and occasionally offering some constructive suggestions.

As for practical problems, these ministers who are the pillars of the Qin Dynasty are still capable of solving them.

Looking at Li Si and others who started the discussion and constantly checked for omissions and filled in the gaps, Fusu felt somewhat fortunate.
