After so many years of experience, Zhao Kuo has also gone from being a novice who was not engaged in farming and sericulture and had no knowledge of agricultural knowledge to an old farmer. He knows a lot of farming methods and can identify different grain species at a glance. Although it is not enough to be developed, Zhao Kuo has a lot of forward-looking vision, such as selecting seed breeding, establishing seed fields, implementing breeding of good varieties, single species and single harvesting, careful management, and preventing confusion.

This technology first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was truly developed in the Western Jin Dynasty. Zhao Kuo made this technology hundreds of years ahead of the times, and Zhao Kuo’s greatest achievements in agriculture were not just selection and breeding. Zhao Kuo’s greatest contribution in the agricultural field should be to promote winter wheat and complete the current unformed crop rotation and reseeding technology... Sitting with Zhan, the two talked about it from the most basic agricultural knowledge.

The earliest agricultural technology book in the world is probably the "Book of Fansheng" compiled by Fanshengzhi of the Western Han Dynasty. Before him, no relevant agricultural technology books appeared. Fanshengzhi was in the late Western Han Dynasty and was still very far away from it. If Zhan could write a agricultural book, he would definitely be able to surpass the status of "Book of Fansheng". Unfortunately, Zhan was the stupidest, and he could do it, but he was not very good at speaking.

Zhao Kuo happened to be the opposite of him, but he could say it but not as good as he could do it. The two complement each other.

Starting from plowing, from how to change the soil quality to how to break the soil, the tillage system of tillage, rake, grinding, pressing and hoe was fully explained. The two people often gathered peasant disciples and wrote different versions according to different places, because in different arable land environments, the farming techniques were different. Zhao Kuo and Zhan were busy with this work for more than half a year.

The two were still constantly revising and improving their farm books. At the same time, Zhao Kuo also put forward many of his own ideas. Among them, when talking about the huge role of ploughing, there was some controversy between Zhao Kuo and Zhan. The two were quarreling red. Of course, this was purely a technical dispute. Zhao Kuo believed that the function of ploughing is to turn over soil, destroy stubble, and press grass, while Zhan believed that ploughing was just used to break the soil and loosen the soil, while the rest were to use different farm tools.

The two of them came to the farmland in person, checked the plough, and carried out the plough according to the two people's words. Pure ploughs to complete multiple tasks and separate tools. In the end, Zhao Kuo was defeated. Zhan said that the ploughs could not replace the rest of the farm tools to complete multiple tasks. Even if they could be completed, the effect was not outstanding. This was a bit different from what Zhao Kuo thought. He frowned and walked into the Mohist workshop without knowing what he was thinking.

In the next few days, Zhao Kuo lived in the Mo family's workshop and refused to come out to see Zhan. Zhan was a little confused. Logically speaking, Zhao Kuo was not such a stingy person. How could he have such a reaction? After waiting for a few days, Zhan finally couldn't help but walk into the workshop. Just as he was about to talk to Zhao Kuo, he saw Zhao Kuo, who was naked and soaked by sweat. Zhao Kuo was already old, but his tendon flesh still looked so thick and awe-inspiring.

Zhao Kuo was lowering his head and fiddling with something. Many Mo family disciples surrounded him and talked loudly. Zhan had a lot of effort before he squeezed in. Zhao Kuo was fiddling with the plow in front of him. He seemed to have cast some iron tools and made a new plow. After scrapping it a few times, Zhao Kuo got what he wanted. Zhao Kuo made a little improvement to the plow. When Zhao Kuo saw Zhan, he excitedly came to him.

Zhan looked at the plough in front of him seriously, wanting to see what was different. After seeing this, he really discovered the difference. First of all, the straight shaft was made into a curved shaft, and in addition, a wall was added under the plough. Zhao Kuo called this plow wall. The improved plough could reach the level that Zhao Kuo said. Since Zhao Kuo said that, Zhan was not vague, and the two sides competed again.

Good guy, just two small changes made the plowing plough both labor-saving and convenient... The efficiency was far beyond the past. Zhan couldn't help but widen his eyes. Zhao Kuo wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was not the experience Zhao Kuo brought from later generations. Zhao Kuo had no idea about farm tools in his previous life. It was just because of long-term farming that he felt that the plow could be further improved, so he took the first step.

This was done completely by him, a technology that should have appeared a hundred years later.

Times are always developing, and the people that can be raised on this land are gradually increasing, from tens of millions today to more than one billion later... The new plough produced by Zhao Kuo was very effective. The Mohist family, who did nothing, received a huge reward just because they helped Zhao Kuo. Because after the promotion of this technology, it could save a lot of manpower for the Qin State. The Mohist family seemed to be a little stimulated, and several Mohist disciples were almost climbing to the advanced title, which made them decide to temporarily put their research direction on farm tools.

At the same time, what is still going on is the school matter. Zhao Kuo completely handed over this matter to Cheng Cang and Zhang Cang. As the Lord of Chang'an and the Marquis of Guannei of Qin, Cheng Cang certainly has enough prestige. Whether it is recruiting teachers or doing other things, it has been much more convenient. Although Zhang Cang does not have much reputation, he is very capable. Since Zhao Kuo arrested him for a strong man and asked him to help, he has even lost weight.

Zhang Cang had no way to study anymore, which made Zhang Cang very depressed. However, in order to continue studying and to finish the Zhao Kuo family's collection, he could only be forced to sell himself to help Zhao Kuo accomplish these things. Cheng Cang called more than 100 teachers with cultural knowledge to provide them with the Qin State. Like medical officials, they became the first batch of academic officials in the Qin Dynasty. The officials in the school were not counted as vocational academic officials. They worked part-time by local officials on weekdays.

After getting enough teachers, Zhang Cang gave a course schedule and asked Xianyang for help, calling on people from all over the world to send their children here to study. Xianyang is too big, and some children from remote areas still need to stay here. These are all worrying about Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang has read many books, has rich theoretical experience, and can do things. He is known as "Little Han Li", but even so, his practical ability is still far from Li Si.

When Zhang Cang saw that Zhao Kuo was busy editing agricultural books, he couldn't find him anymore, so he found his senior brother directly.

Li Si still attaches great importance to school affairs, not because of how much benefit this matter can bring, but because this matter is the matter of Wu Chenghou. If you want to spend time in the Daqin temple, you have to take pictures of Zhao Kuo. It is useless to photograph others.

When Zhang Cang came to find him and told him about the current difficulties, Li Si waved his hand and immediately opened up a school field and set up a student dormitory. Students who are too far away can live in the school, but they cannot live in vain. They have to work hard on the school field and be self-sufficient... Li Si gave good advice on most issues including tuition fees. He will definitely be able to do whatever Li Si wants to do.

With the help of Li Si, the first primary school in Daqin was finally established. When the people heard the government asked the children to study, they didn't know why, but they didn't resist, because they were all old Qin people. Old Qin people were rigorous and obeyed orders. They lived like fighting on weekdays. How dare they not obey the orders of the "general"? Although the children were afraid and cried, they could not change their situation.

At the same time, Li Si suggested that all children who graduate successfully can get first-class titles... For the old Qin people, what is better than the title? Of course, they sent their children to study with a smile, and told them that if they cannot get first-class titles, how can I beat you to death! Zhao Kuo and Li Si once talked about the military merit system. They believed that on the basis of reducing rewards, more rewards should be given to lower-level titles.

The lower-level titles became worthless, and the abnormal society created by the military merit system was of course collapsed. Unexpectedly, the intelligent Li Si applied his ideas here. It has to be said that the kings and prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty were all great people.

On this day, Zhao Kuo asked for leave from Zhan and came to congratulate him. He met all the teachers in charge of enlightenment and gave him some life and school supplies. He even listened to several classes. Zhao Kuo almost moved the education system of later generations, from the length of class to the rest time in between, it was almost the same. Zhao Kuo felt that what he had summarized in later generations must be better than what he had thought about.

The primary school was established like this, but it did not cause much change. Xianyang had too many populations and too many children needed to receive education. These children could only be the first batch of children, but there were more than 2,000 people. The teachers were a little insufficient and the school could not accommodate them. In desperation, Zhang Cang had to buy the surrounding villas, regardless of whether they wanted to sell them or not. Anyway, Li Si could pay them better.

The atmosphere in the school is still good. Students from all over the world sit here, listening to the teacher's lectures, making friends in private, and so many children gather together, and this place suddenly becomes a gathering place for joy and crying... If the model here can be successful, it can be promoted to the surrounding counties and counties, and finally to the whole world. An important question is whether Daqin can have so many teachers and whether Daqin can support so many teachers.

After nine months, the agricultural books exhibited were completed, and there was almost no content to add. He even wrote about the types of pests and even weeds. From the beginning of this agricultural book, it was the most advanced agricultural technology book of this era. After the book was completed, the books were sent to the King of Qin to read. The King of Qin could see the Zhao Kuo style in it at a glance. Zhao Kuo had written a lot in the years.

The things he wrote were all in his own style. Zhao Kuo's style was a very simple question and answer, but it was different from the question and answer style of Confucius' Analects of Confucius. Zhao Kuo's question and answer style was more detailed than the Analects of Confucius. It often answered all the words in a long paragraph. For example, the initial question method, and now the farmer's style... One person asked how to farm, and one person answered him.

The reason why Zhao Kuo wrote like this is probably because he was used to it.

During these nine months, a lot of things happened in the world. When Zhao Kuo finished his agricultural book and raised his head, he finally learned about these things. First of all, the matter of Chu State. After the demise of Chu State, there were rebellions again and again. In the nine months, there were seventeen rebellions in total, including many Chu nobles who surrendered to Qin State and local people's uprisings.

Zhao Kuo could understand the aristocratic rebellion of Chu State, but the local people were the same, so he was a little confused. Logically speaking, the lower-level people should not have that strong sense of identity with Chu State. What is the situation? Zhao Kuo found the report sent by local officials, and after checking it, he realized in his heart that after all, it was a matter of living habits. The people of Chu, who were casual by nature, could not stand the system of Qin State's desire to manage everything.

The people gathered together during the festival and sang songs. As soon as they walked out, they were caught by the officials of Qin. They said that they gathered illegally. After meeting, the two good friends hugged each other and played with the corners as usual. They wanted to throw each other down, so the officials came and said that they fought illegally. The land of Chu was too big, and the living habits in different places were different, and there was huge difference. Not to mention the differences between them and Qin.

For example, there is a custom in the southwest of Chu State that those who commit crimes will be stoned by fellow villagers. This is of course unbearable to the Qin officials. Where is the turn of the criminals dealing with them? For example, there is a custom in the southeast of Chu State that men and women have to write on their faces with unmarried affair. Such lynchings are not allowed by Qin State, not to mention that there are also naked bodies, cohabitations, and some unethical customs that are difficult to say.

If the officials of Qin State want to change these things drastically, they will naturally encounter resistance.

After thinking about it over and over again, Zhao Kuo decided to continue the current governance method of Qin. Local customs are worthy of respect, but such uncivilized and even illegal customs must be forbidden. Even if it causes civil unrest, it must be forbidden. The law is fundamental and cannot be tolerated by anyone or anything. Among these people, the best one is Zhao Kang. After Zhao Kang arrived at the local area, he quickly changed from Qin Man to Chu Man.

He got along with the local people, even participated in some of their festival activities, and brought these villagers to kill thieves and maintain local public order. In other aspects, he was relatively relaxed, which made Kuaiji County the most stable and there was no rebellion. Zhao Kang also led the local people to practice, treating them completely as their own people, and was not very careful. He took them away from Kuaiji County from time to time to attack the thieves.
