Aristocrats relied on farmers to grow the crops that made them rich. the aristocrats owned the fields outside the village walls. In these fields, farmers in northern China grew wheat and a grain called millet. In the south where the climate was warmer and wetter, they were able to grow rice.

In steppe areas, there is enough rain for grasses to grow. This allows farmers to grow grain for their livestock. A Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and cool, rainy winters is found on Coastal plains.
They did not have enough land to grow grain. Only 1/4 of the land was usable for growing grain. They traded for grain in the region.
There are probably about a 1000 inventions that fall into this class- but I would nominate 2- the McCormich reaper, and the automobile. The reaper allowed mechanized harvesting of grain. Now one farmer could grow the grain that it had taken 20 farmers to grow- which meant that 19 farmers could do other things for a living, and that grain was cheaper to grow. The automobile- and the truck and tractor- increased travel, and the movement of goods from one place to another. Prior to that, unless you traveled by train or ship, you were limited to about 20 miles per day.
