Therefore, although the development of agriculture cannot eliminate war, it will inevitably require agricultural development to become a prosperous era after the war.

After understanding this, Xu Ying was motivated again.

However, he still asked Chen Bing carefully:

"Deputy general, farmers are spread all over the Central Plains. After we record the rice pounding water truck and the feng shui truck... is it appropriate to pass it to Chu?"

The Chu land mentioned here refers to the Chu land in Huainan controlled by the Chu army.

Chen Bing thought about it and replied:

"It will not be passed on to Chu for the time being, especially the blowing shui truck."

Xu Ying nodded and responded.

The reason why Chen Bing said this is because compared to the rice pounding wheel, the blowing water wheel is still somewhat technical.

The rice pounding water wheel is too simple to see, and even if the Xu Ying doesn't spread it, you will learn it soon.

The feng shui wheel is relatively complicated and has a relatively closed production, so it will not be so fast if it is spread.

This time difference is enough to give Qin-controlled Huai River some technical advantages to the north of the Huai River and south of the Huai River, although this advantage is short-lived.

What Shen Bing had to do next was to hit King Chu Qi...

On the other side, King Qi Zheng and Xiang Yan were in Dongting with no worries.

During this period, they have spread spies to inquire everywhere, especially in the Shouchun area of ​​Chu.

This made King Qi of Chu and Xiang Yan know the situation in Huaibei well.

The first thing I knew was the rice pounding water wheel.

King Qi of Chu even made a rice pounding water wheel according to the pictures drawn by the spy.

Seeing that the rice was pounded up and down without human power, King Qi of Chu sighed:

"I also said that in some time Huaibei, there will be chaos due to food shortage."

"I didn't want to sink my troops but made this thing and exchanged rice for military farming."

"In this way, the food shortage in Huaibei can be solved."

Xiang Yan had nothing to say, and he thought to himself who the Shen Bing was, and he could know how to make this thing.

In this way, it is not just Huaibei. The Qin people in the entire Qin area can avoid the pain of pounding rice... You should know that everyone pounds rice every day.

The so-called pounding rice means that everyone has to eat, and all the food they eat must be pounded over the shell.

But there are many people who cannot pound rice, such as high-ranking officials, military, and elderly people and children...

These pounded rice will be concentrated on women and slavery.

For example, the army will have a large amount of slavery specifically used for pounding rice, and will pound it day after day.

This time, it accounts for a considerable part of the labor distribution.

But now... you just need to set up a few water trucks and use these water trucks to do it for you. It's fast, labor-saving, and good.

Among them, "good" deserves its true reputation.

Because as mentioned before, military rations supply can be divided into "saked rice" and "saked rice".

All of them are pounded by grains, but there is a difference because pounding rice by manpower takes time and effort. After pounding it several times, some shells can be removed and the mouth can be called "香港". This is for soldiers with low rank.

Continue to pound on the basis of "saked rice". When pounding until there is basically no shell, it is "saked rice", also known as refined rice, which is for soldiers with high titles and nobles.

What ordinary people usually eat is "rice".

The reason is that housework is already heavy and there is not much time to pound the rice, so I can only pound it roughly.

But now... if pounding rice can be done by a water truck, it will only take longer. Is it necessary to divide it into "stewed rice" or "stewed rice"?

The fact is indeed as Xiang Yan thought. In just one night, "fried rice" is basically no longer present in Huaibei, especially Shouchun, and everyone can eat delicious rice.

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yan comforted the King of Chu and said:

"Don't worry about this, my lord."

"This thing is not difficult to make. The Qin army can use it to pound rice, so why can't we use it?"

King Qi of Chu just sighed and said:

"We have a lot of food, so how could I worry about this rice pounding wheel?"

"But the Shen Bing will have some wonderful ideas and practicality every once in a while. If this continues..."

As he said that, King Qi of Chu sighed again.

King Qi of Chu made sense.

It would be fine if it was just a rice pounding truck, but it would be fine if it was copied in large quantities and invested in the public to save labor.

The problem is that this is the only thing created by Shen Bing?

Let’s come today and come tomorrow. It won’t take long to get a gap between the Qin land in Huaibei and the Chu land in Huainan.

There is a saying that goes, "No comparison, no harm."

If everyone was so hard and tiring in the past, then Huaibei and Huainan would have nothing to say.

But now...

If the Qin land in Huaibei can easily obtain more crops with smaller labor, while the bitter and tired dogs in Huainan can only harvest less food, how can this balance the people?

As the saying goes, "People go to high places and water flows to low places."

Once the people are psychologically unbalanced, Chu will soon face the problem of population loss... This is a bit like smuggling, unable to stop it, and it is like a surging river.

At that time, I am afraid that the Qin army will not be needed to destroy Chu, and the Chu State itself will perish due to a large loss of population.

Xiang Yan, who is good at using troops, would not consider these things. He still advised King Qi of Chu:

"The king, my subordinates have contacted several nobles, and they have agreed to rebel against Qin together."

"At this time, you and others are the first to face the Qin army's front, and their subordinates think they will fight to the death."

"I thought it was not easy for the Qin army to go south."

King Qi of Chu could only reply with a frown:

"I hope so!"

That's it, King Qi of Chu was not optimistic about the situation at all.

Sure enough, bad news comes one after another:

"King, it is said that Shen Bing has improved the quality of iron tools."

"The new iron is sharper and more durable than the old ones."

King Qi of Chu asked anxiously:

"Where is the method of making it?"

The answer I got was:

"Not found yet."

So King Qi of Chu realized that his worries had finally come.

Then another information came:

"King, the Qin spies went deep into our territory to send notices."

King Qi of Chu was shocked again:

"What is the notice?"

The personal guard handed over a notice sent by Fei Ge's letter.

King Qi of Chu was shocked to find that the notice was actually written on paper... He knew when he was in Qin State that this piece of paper could be worth ten cents, but he tripled the price in Chu State that it was worth thirty cents.

But the Qin army wrote a notice with it?

I looked at the content of the notice again... I was surprised again and it was written in a simple painting and with words.

It goes without saying why in this way: people who are not educated and illiterate can understand a rough idea even if they look at pictures.

But when he thought about it, King Qi of Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

Writing a notice on such valuable paper is definitely not many.

If there are not many notices, how can it affect it?

However, when he casually asked "how many such notices are there", the guard replied:

"It is said that there are thousands of pictures, and the streets and alleys are covered overnight."

King Chu Qi:...
