Qin Shi Huang smiled dumbly.

Again, there is nothing wrong with planting some auspiciousness. After going back, let Shaofu arrange to reclaim a piece of land. Doing some farm work every day can also relax a little.

"According to the national teacher, how is Fusu?"

was fishing, Qin Shi Huang suddenly asked for no reason.

So, is he really fishing?

"Fusu is the eldest son, brave and resolute. It's just that it's too upright, and it's difficult to expand the country and strengthen the country. ”

Bai Ji gave his opinion. There is no doubt about the prestige of Fusu among the people, and it is said that when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they played the banner of Fusu. He's more pro-Confucian, which isn't much of a problem.

Today's Confucianism is not similar to that of later generations, a large number of outspoken Confucian scholars who draw their swords and use force at every turn. said that Bao Bailing was a Confucian official, but he dared to say that Qin Shi Huang was not, and even ridiculed Qin Shi Huang.

In Bai Ji's view, both Confucianism has its limitations. Adapt to the development of the times and make due changes.

Fusu has its flaws, he became the emperor, it may be difficult to open up the territory, but the head of Qianshou may be better. Of course, these are just Bai Ji's conjectures, after all, Fusu committed suicide in the end.

"Where's Hu Hai?"

"He's a good sharpener."

"Haha!"

Qin Shi Huang laughed heartily, the fishing rod shook, and the fish took the bait.

"If you look at it according to the national teacher, who is the right choice between the two?"

"You don't have to think about that now, you can live to be 100 years old. It's good to think about it when you really can't help it, or when you want to let go. ”

No one can answer this question, it's still early. Qin Shi Huang did the same, and made an edict before he died.

The rest of the ministers have gone satisfied, they are all big landowners. After getting Xiangrui, they all wanted to go back and plant it quickly. It's all good stuff, and we'll roll it out slowly after the harvest. Don't worry that they will hide their secrets and not give them to Qianshou, and when the potatoes are harvested, they will naturally spread out.

There is a fat man, and the assets in the hands of these nobles are all his. It's nothing for them to get some benefits, but when it comes to the foundation of the Qin State, the fat man is the first to refuse.

Originally, these courtiers were reluctant to leave, and in the end they were driven away by Bai Jisheng. Even if you rub a meal, you still want to rub this meal at night?

No way!

For example, Li Si and the others still stayed and patrolled everywhere. Qi Xuan sat on the ground weakly, beating his chest constantly, saying that he had encountered robbers. Although these ministers are black, they are not without money.

A piece of hemp paper, ten dollars.

Bai Ji can see that these nobles are all rich people. This business is simply a good deal, and he wants to open another branch to make money.

It's not that he's black-hearted, it's because of the price these nobles themselves make. Bai Ji didn't plan to collect the money, and this group of honors had to send the money, so he could only accept it reluctantly.

At that time, it was Li Si who came to negotiate the price, and he made a very generous offer.

"National teacher, this hemp paper is five dollars a piece, is it okay?"

"Five cents?!"

Note that Bai Ji is in a surprised tone.

Li Si frowned, "What ten dollars?" ”

"Okay, deal!"

After negotiating the price, Li Si was quite proud, and said that he had planned to bid for fifteen, but he didn't expect to buy it so cheaply. For this reason, Feng Quji and Meng Yi both praised Li Si's wit and was able to save five yuan from Bai Ji.

Indeed, Li Si is really good at trading. It's best to have a few more such business ghosts, and Chun Yuyue probably can't sleep.

The steelworks were not much better, such as horseshoe saddles and stirrups, which were already fully equipped. Horseshoes, in particular, are really not that difficult to make.

"What are the remaining auspicious things, what is the national teacher going to do?"

"Give some more here in Jingyang, and let Xijun hand over the rest to the rest of the neighboring counties."

The white millet is ready well in advance. Now Jingyang is busy to death, and there will be an autumn harvest next, and it will be even busier when the time comes. Can't just Jingyang's busy work, the rest of the counties have to be busy.

From ancient times to the present, farmers are not afraid of hardship, but people's energy is limited after all. Many people are now working in the workshop, and the working hours start at two hours a day, and if you count the rest, it's too late.

Potatoes and corn have been transformed by the white millet immortal method and need to be carefully served. Manure and watering will take up a lot of their time, and they will have no time to take care of anything else.

"Feasible."

Qin Shi Huang thought for a moment and then gave his opinion. Sooner or later, potatoes and corn will be launched, and it is also a good thing to let Linxian contact early.

"How is the national teacher preparing these days?"

"Twenty rocket crossbows a day, all of which have been secretly stored, rest assured."

"There is Lao Guoshi!"

Bai Ji calculated that when the main force of Xianyang went out of the city to crusade against the Huns, he had at least a thousand rocket crossbows in his hands. As long as you save a little, it is more than enough to deal with the Huns.

Chun Yuyue next to him twitched the corners of his mouth, secretly stored?

Oh, it's stacked in the backyard storeroom. No one was watching, and there were a lot of people coming in and out.

Chun Yuyue naturally won't understand, in fact, there is white grass, and it doesn't matter where you put it. Within the scope of his divine thoughts, as long as anyone touched the wooden box, he would perceive it.

After eating, Bai Ji took the fat man out for a walk.

As a big landlord in Jingyang, there must be left and right protectors. Fat tiger gray wolf, golden eagle yellow dog. The vast crowd even overshadowed the Xuanniao Guard.

The fat man finally chose to be at the ridge and asked Li Si to arrange for the craftsman to erect a monument and engrave the inscription, which can be regarded as the traditional art of the fat man. It is probably to record the time and yield of auspicious groundbreaking, and then thank the ancestors for their blessings, and there is also the affirmation of Bai Ji's merits.

Stroking the stone tablet and looking at the ears of corn and rice, the fat man did not leave for a long time.

A few people chatted as they walked.

"Every autumn, the Xiongnu would go south and plunder grain. Even in winter, the grass and trees wither. The loss of grain was difficult for the head of the Qian, so the Qin State had to mobilize grain and grass. ”

The Zhuxia tradition is to make all kinds of pickled vegetables and cured meat. After the radish is sun-dried, it becomes a dried radish, and the green vegetables become a pickle after pickling, as well as various bacon and bacon. It may be said that some nutrients are missing, but it is not enough to starve to death. When winter comes, you can't pay attention to it.

Winter is the hardest season.

On the day of the 39th month, the snow is falling and everything is withering. Bai Ji had seen the bedding used in Qianshou in winter, which was filled with flax fluff and was very thin. He wore a robe, made of coarse linen and cotton wool. Wealthy people will put a coat over their robes, and those who don't have money will just wear a robe. The warmth is there, but it's poor.

Bai Ji sighed softly. In this era of nothing, it is really not easy to survive. I am not afraid in summer, and when it is hot, I go down to the river to take a shower. But when winter comes, it is not uncommon for people to freeze to death.

"I can only endure this year."

"Every year."

"In fact, this problem can be solved after the Xiongnu are dealt with."

"Huh?" Qin Shi Huang suddenly became interested, "How to solve it?" ”

Bai Ji smiled mysteriously, "There is a saying that wool comes out of sheep, as long as you learn to gather wool, you will naturally be able to use wool coats after a few years." ”

"Pick...... Wool?! ”

Lees' voice trembled.

This word...... He can't even write?

Now there is no concept of sheep shearing in the Central Plains, including the Xiongnu. Of course, some people directly pluck the sheepskin wool and make it into a leather coat for heating. I heard that in distant lands, nomadic tribes have begun to use wool to make sweaters.

Most of the domestic sheep raised today are sheep, but the breed is somewhat different from that of later generations. The wool is not too exaggerated, it is thicker than that of a goat. There are also specialized people who trim wool, mostly padded mattress robes. However, it was not made into a sweater.

"Well, that's what it means to trim wool." "Trim once in spring and autumn, and use wool to make sweaters." Good value for money and enough for heating. ”

"Mao ...... Clothing? ”

"How do you make a sweater?"

Bai Ji was a little dizzy, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

He is a cultivator, not a wool gatherer. Bai Ji only knew a rough idea and knew that there was such a statement, but he didn't know exactly how to do it.

"We'll talk about that later." Bai Ji pretended to be profound, and waited until he took the Huns, but now he doesn't know how many cattle and sheep he can capture. Then, he said slowly: "Actually, this is also one of the means used by the Qin State to control Yan Zhao's surrender. ”

"What does the national teacher mean?"

Qin Shi Huang suddenly became interested and looked puzzled.

"The grasslands are not good at farming. Yan Zhao settled in the land of Henan and needed grain from Qin. In the future, as long as Yan Zhao surrendered to the Qin State and handed over the wool, horn and other materials to the Qin State, the Qin State could exchange goods and give them food. The two sides take what they need and communicate with each other. ”

Cheap wool can be exchanged for valuable food.

Even in the eyes of the Xiongnu, this deal was extremely cost-effective.

Of course, the human heart is always a wolf that cannot be fed. In the future, Yan Zhao may rebel, but he still has to weigh his ability, and the Heping Big Mushroom is not a vegetarian!

With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, this is the posture of a strong country.

Qin Shi Huang frowned and thought about it, and Li Si and the others were also thinking about this question. Let's not discuss the pawn for now, if Bai Ji can really support clothes with wool, then Qin Guo will be able to send it!

The noble is silk, and the cheap are hemp, this is the rule now. Listening to the meaning of white grass, clothes made of wool are extremely warm. Just one piece can make a great difference. Put on the robe again, and you will never freeze to death.

"You think, the grain of the Qin State is not enough now, but it is more than enough in the future. These hungry wolves can't be killed, batch after batch. The Qin State could completely use this means to control the grasslands. If they wanted to survive, they had to exchange wool for food. How to set the price, Qin State firmly grasped the initiative. ”

"Isn't the national teacher feeding the wolves, not afraid of biting back in the future?"

Li Si said coldly.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Bai Ji laughed confidently.

This smile, Li Si saw a little penetrating, and it made him speechless.

Others are arrogant when they say this, but there is really nothing wrong with Bai Ji saying this.

"If you are disobedient, you will be killed. It is very simple to support an obedient Shan Yu and slowly shepherd sheep for the Qin State. ”

……

In the vast grassland far away, a certain Shan Yu shuddered. Looking at the sheep grazing, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to eat two bites.
