Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

After the joyful Spring Festival, the people of Daqin began to prepare for plowing as usual.

The so-called test plowing is after the beginning of spring, to remind the people to prepare for spring plowing and pray for a good harvest this year. The government will organize activities to put plows on the cattle, decorate them, and parade them to the Shennong Temple for sacrifices.

After the sacrifice is completed, the highest local official will personally lead the cattle and hold the plow in a circle in the field to symbolize the beginning of the year’s farming. It is a very important festival in the Qin Dynasty.

In particular, the plow test in Xianyang City has been personally presided over by the First Emperor in the past years, so it attracted people from many surrounding counties and counties to participate, which was very lively.

Early in the morning, the people who came to watch the ceremony gathered around the royal farm in Yueyang, the old capital of Great Qin, waiting for the plow test ceremony to begin.

And when the First Emperor and Fusu appeared in front of everyone, a group of people could not help but widen their eyes.

“This car looks weird, isn’t it too awkward?”

“If I read it correctly, what seems to be an iron plow being towed behind this weird-looking car?”

“That’s right, it was His Highness the Prince who invented the Qin Li. So, this weird car can be used to plow fields?”

“The power of steam vehicles is much greater than that of oxen and horses. If it could really plow the ground, wouldn’t it be much more efficient?”

“It’s hard for me to see, this dry land is fine, but even cattle and horses can’t walk in the paddy fields. This car is so heavy, I’m afraid it will sink right into it.”

“How could His Highness the Crown Prince not think of things that you can think of? I think there will be no problem.”

“Even if it is only available on dry land, it is still very good.”

“Yes, rice can be grown in paddy fields, and crops such as sugar cane and cotton can also be grown in dry land. The income may be even greater than growing food.”

“It’s just that the price of this car is too expensive. If it were cheap, we would pool our money and buy one.”

The people are talking about the new steam tractors.

As the production of steam vehicles gradually increases, the people in Xianyang City and surrounding areas are no longer surprised by the black smoke and powerful vehicles. On the contrary, I am very envious.

At this time, the craftsmen of the Engineering Academy have completed assembling and debugging the plow specially made for the steam tractor.

“Father, you can start going to the fields. Fusu smiled and said to the First Emperor beside him.

“Then let’s get started!”

The First Emperor nodded and immediately started the car.

“Boom!”

As a puff of black smoke erupted, the steam tractor accelerated into the farmland with a heavy rake.

“This thing can really plow the ground!”

“Not only can it plow, but it is also much more efficient than oxen and horses.”

“You know, it has just passed the beginning of spring, and the land has not completely thawed, but you can see that this car is not affected at all, and the plow is very deep.”

“The speed is also extremely fast, at least ten times that of oxen and horses. In less than half a stick of incense, this large field has been plowed!”

“I just went to ask about it. This new vehicle is called a steam tractor. It can not only plow, but also turn soil, sow seeds, water and fertilize. It can also harvest and thresh grain during the harvest season. It is really versatile.”

“As long as there is one such tractor, a family with several members can easily cultivate more than a hundred acres of land, and even continue to cultivate it.”

“Moreover, during slack times, this steam tractor can also be used to transport goods to increase income!”

“And you can drive through shallower pools, so paddy fields will definitely be no problem!”

The people who were watching suddenly became excited.

With the promotion of compulsory education and literacy training, today’s people in Daqin have improved their horizons a lot, and their ability to accept new things has become stronger and stronger.

Even farming has changed from the earliest days. What started as a simple model has turned into new planting methods such as scientific planting and precision planting under the guidance of agricultural scientists. The resulting increase in income and production has also made every common person smile. (Read Baoshuang novels, Just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although grain prices fluctuated for a period of time last year, they were quickly resolved, and farmers really benefited.

And due to the extremely high grain yield, only a small part of the field is needed This can ensure that the family’s rations are more than enough, and the remaining fields can be planted with various cash crops to increase income.

However, a person’s energy is limited after all. Even in Da Qin, where cattle and horses are now much more common, what can be obtained from farming The income is still much lower than that of working.

However, the number of farming places is limited after all, and most people still have to make a living from the land. If you want to significantly increase your income, you can only start with farming efficiency.[]

And this steam tractor has undoubtedly given all the people the hope of increasing their farming income.

The only thing that made them hesitate was the price of the steam tractor.

You know, the price of each of Daqin’s steam cars today is four or even five digits, which is more expensive than an ordinary house in Xianyang New City.

However, soon, everyone was excited.

Because after the plow test ceremony, His Majesty the First Emperor announced a super good news in front of everyone.

That is, the imperial court will provide special subsidies for steam tractors to ensure that the price of each steam tractor will not exceed one thousand yuan.

It will also become a farmer mutual aid organization. Farmers can raise funds to purchase in the name of the collective, and they can also enjoy interest-free installment payments.

“Long live your Majesty!”

“100His Royal Highness is kind!”

“It’s so good!”

The common people cheered one by one.

The price of 1,000 yuan, and the payment can be divided into three years. Although it is still a bit beyond the ability of ordinary farmers, it is not unacceptable.

Moreover, collective payment and common use are provided. The model has undoubtedly relaxed the conditions again.

With the ultra-high efficiency of the steam tractors we have just seen, even if ten households share one steam tractor, it is more than enough for pure agricultural use, and there is still room to continue to cultivate new land.

Many families Those with more resources are thinking about whether to bite the bullet and buy a steam tractor alone.

Only having such a machine can not only greatly increase agricultural income, but also increase income by helping people with farming or pulling goods. The cost of the car can be recouped very quickly.

After achieving profitability, you can buy more cars again to further increase your income.

If it works well, it will definitely be a bright road to make a fortune!

Think of the old days when you didn’t have enough to eat. The common people are even more touched by the days when they can barely cover their bodies.

Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince!

I couldn’t be happier to be born in today’s Great Qin!

This year in Great Qin must be more beautiful than any other year. A year of hope!.
