Chapter Forty-Three: Father, It's Time for the Soldiers to Go Home

"In this way, the high price, how can Qin Min bear it. The emperor should reduce the price by half. "Emperor Qin already has the tone of command.

Ying Zicheng seems that the higher the price in the first three years, the better. Attract people to expand the production of various food crops, cash crops, poultry, etc. according to their own plans with high prices, and use high-priced agricultural tools to recover the money spilled. The two are a good cycle.

High-priced farm tools can also change the original production mode of one household, because the ability of one household cannot afford to buy all the farm tools needed, and it is difficult to even one, but it will become a trend for several rich households and poor villages to buy collectively, produce and distribute use. It can also solve the problem of lack of cattle, open up more wasteland, and produce more food.

To promote collective labor agriculture, there is no doubt that the backward productive forces of Daqin at this time, as long as these new agricultural tools are used, the surrounding barren land will soon become fertile land, not to mention not suitable for growing food crops, there are other cash crops, especially hemp, Yingzicheng's textile factory is short of a lot of hemp, and it has stopped working.

At this time, there is a more suitable way than the early collective agriculture of the Soviet Union. It is possible to rapidly increase social wealth and social supply in a faster and shorter time.

In order to let the 30 or 40 million people in the whole world be fed and clothed within three to five years. Therefore, insisting on high-priced farm tools, Ying Zicheng will not give up. As long as Qindi is promoted, it can casually feed three times the people of the world today, with a population of 30 or 40 million, and a modern province has 100 million. At this time, the Qin Dynasty covered most of the provinces with large populations in the previous life.

As long as he really does this, Ying Zicheng believes that it is not difficult, with a population of only 20 million, the land occupied in the previous life can carry more than one billion people. Ying Zicheng believes that in a few years, all the poor people in this land, the rich in the capital of Qian, can eat a bowl of rice, eat a bowl of rice, have meat at meals, and every family has new clothes, and the beautiful era will not be far away.

This is his reward for being born in this land and doing well for this era.

But at this moment, he needs to convince Emperor Qin's father to agree to his high price, and he also needs to do it in a way that people in this era can understand.

..................

"It's impossible to halve, what does my father think about exchanging the old for the new?" Ying Zicheng suddenly thought.

"How do you change the method?" Qin Huang asked suspiciously.

"Farmers who buy farm tools can exchange their old farm tools for a new and identical one after three years. Can this also meet the father's half-price requirement, what does the father think? "It's been just three years, and it's been a good time. In Ying Zicheng's view, the high price of agricultural tools can only get a buffer for one year, and the three years that the Qin Emperor thought were that according to the current output and land area of the land, Qin Min, who had obtained new agricultural tools and signed strict futures contracts, actively expanded production, and could complete the loan after one year.

In the second year, Ying Zicheng decided to use paper money, which of course cannot be called paper money, it is called Qian Yin. After that, there will be a very coquettish operation, which will be said in later chapters.

"Father, you are still worried about the reward of the soldiers of the Qin army after the unification. With these new farming tools, the wasteland that could not be cultivated can be taken out and rewarded, and the soldiers need to go home after ten years of fighting. Ying Zicheng persuaded. Erchen once heard a joke: When the young man left home and returned to the eldest child, the native accent did not change and the sideburns declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where do the guests come from?"

"Father, do you think it's ridiculous? ”

Emperor Qin's heart was shaken, and he said, "How much arable land can be added?"

"It is possible to increase the arable land by at least 5-10 times. ”

Emperor Qin said with a look of disbelief: "Emperor, do you think that your father is a king who doesn't know about farming, or do you think that your father is a fool, it's easy to deceive?" 5--10 times, that's not that the Qin region is all arable land, even the mountains are arable land, in the eyes of Emperor Qin, it is impossible, at present, the world is ten lands and nine wilderness, just ten pieces of land, nine pieces of land are not suitable for growing food crops with the agricultural experience and technology at that time.

"If the father doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate. The situation in Xianyang Village lies in the fact that after Erchen signed all the futures contracts for agricultural products, the new agricultural tools and technologies provided by Erchen in advance, they now have cultivated the area of wasteland in every household, and it can be said that even the mountains have been cultivated a large number of hemp, pepper, fruit trees and other cash crops. There is no useless land. ”

"I will send someone to investigate, if it is really as the emperor said, then I will allow it. In the past few days, the emperor will go to the Xianyang Palace Doctor's Mansion to live, study well with hundreds of scholars, find a teacher from them, and the emperor should also learn the right thing. The way of the merchant is the way of the small road, the way of the Mo family, not the royal road, both of which cannot be studied deeply. ”

"Father, Shengming. "Emperor Qin's father said so, and he can't talk back. Nowadays, people in this world think that merchants and Mohists are indeed like this, and it is useless to justify, otherwise there will be no most difficult thing in this world, stuffing their own ideas into other people's heads. Instead of facing meaningless justifications, it is better to slap them in the face with reality later.

"Take the Nine Emperor Princes and go to the Doctor's Mansion to rest. "Zhao Gao, inform the hundred officials to strike tomorrow, and I want to serve Xianyang. ”

After the Great Qin unified the six countries, a large number of soldiers received rich military exploits. The Daqin 20-level military merit title system is divided into 20 levels, namely: first-class public servant, two Shangzao, three hairpins, four no more, five doctors, six official doctors, seven public doctors, eight public passengers, ninety-five doctors, ten left chiefs, eleven right chiefs, twelve left guards, thirteen middle guards, fourteen right watches, fifteen young ones, sixteen levels of great Shangzao (Daliang Zao), seventeen chariot chiefs, eighteen grand chiefs, nineteen Guan Neihou, and twenty Che Hou.

After the Unification War, there were piles of doctors in the army, seven or eight of the ten doctors, and a few were the chiefs.

The first level of the Qin and Han dynasties. The Shang Dynasty changed the law to stipulate that as long as the soldiers of the Qin State captured a head of the enemy's "armor warriors" (armored warriors, generally elite strikers in the army), they could obtain the title of first-class knight (gongshi), Tian Yiqing, a house and a servant. The more heads you kill, the higher the titles you get. The Qin State's 20-level military merit title system played a huge role in encouraging the morale of the Qin army and improving the combat effectiveness of the army. But now that there is no war to fight, this is a big problem.

The smallest knighthood, one hectare of land, (100 acres). The amount of land received by the doctor is generally 7 hectares (700 acres), and the standard of homestead land is 7 houses (30 steps square of land is a "house").

A large number of military exploits cannot be cashed in, Qin has no land to be rewarded, there is originally so much arable land, and their large number of returns will cause Great Qin to have no land to seal, and the soldiers will not want to stay away from the land of the Six Kingdoms of their hometown relatives, which will lead to the collapse of Great Qin's well-executed farming and warfare system since Shang Jun.

The most direct consequence of not being able to fief the land is that the Qin Emperor will lose his trust in the Qin people, and the people will be resentful, and if the control is not good, chaos in the world may occur. Therefore, almost two years after the end of the Unification War, the millions of soldiers of Daqin have not returned home after ten years of fighting, and they are all adrift.
