Chapter 338: Why Are These People So Stupid

The kind of thing that you want to die to save face and suffer crimes, and you can't do it in your heart, but you can only sit there dryly and watch others make a fortune, the king will naturally not do it if he is not hungry.

Anyway, I'm also a time-traveling person, what haven't I seen before?

Moreover, the current Confucianism has not yet risen, or in other words, it is far from reaching the point of dominating the world.

The most important thing is that if the king is not hungry, he will not let them come to this point at all.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism.

It's just a few reasons, but in my own case, none of these reasons can be established.

First, he was disgusted with Huang Lao's technique, and even reached the point of disgust.

This reason is naturally because he was too strict with the Empress Dowager Dou when he was a child, and if he wanted to do something, he was either stopped by the Empress Dowager Dou or stopped by the ministers who admired Huang Lao's skills.

It's not so much that he is disgusted, but that it is Huang Lao's technique that is disgusted, but because of these people, Huang Lao's technique is also implicated.

Secondly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to fight back against the Xiongnu, and the world environment at that time had long since lost the passionate atmosphere at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As long as there is talk of going to war, there will be a large number of ministers who risk their lives to ask for peace.

Under these influences, the people's opinions on going to war are also very large.

Confucianism, especially the Ram faction, played such a role.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty monopolized Confucianism, soon there was a cry for war in the country, and the desire for war in the country also greatly supported the ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As for the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, this is not the only thing put forward by Confucianism.

In fact, it is impossible for any school of thought that has survived to the present day to advocate the erroneous idea of being disloyal to the monarch and unpatriotic.

So, now Wang Buxing said that he wanted to engage in business, and said that he would let the Ministry of Commerce do this.

Who in the world dares to shout, Your Majesty, that you are competing with the people for profit?

Who would dare to say that?

In the face of a founding emperor and a monarch killed on the battlefield, who has such courage?

And it was based on the fact that the Ministry of Commerce gave higher wages than others?

Even if the above is not mentioned, Wang Buxing also pointed out directly, who can compete with the Ministry of Commerce, what is the people?

They are just aristocratic and rich people in the skin of the people, as long as he dares to shout, the king will dare to kill if he is not hungry.

"Your Majesty, such a vigorous promotion of commerce may affect agricultural production!" Xiao He raised a most critical question.

This problem exists now, and the reality is that it only starts in the winter every year.

"Then find a way not to let it affect agricultural production, the introduction of new farm tools has effectively improved production efficiency, but now this work is far from being in place, the Ministry of Commerce can invest in farm tool workshops, you can invest in raising mules to earn only a small profit, and even sell them to the people without making money, with mules and more new farm tools, if you can have two mules per mile, two sets of new farm tools, not to mention more, it is no problem for each household to save a labor force, right?"

"How many households are there in the world? How many people are this? The king is not hungry, he said.

There is a kind of investment in the world, looking at the present, how he sees how he loses.

But looking to the future, how does he see how he earns?

Maybe the benefits are not in plain sight, but a smart person can see where his real benefits are.

That's infrastructure.

Engage in highways, even if it is a cement road or something, Wang is not hungry and lazy to think about it, and it is built for the horse to run?

It's not enough to delay things.

So he said: "It's really not possible, your Ministry of Commerce will invest in the construction of water canals!" ”

"Build a canal?" Xiao He was stunned, the canal can be built if it is said to be built?

How much manpower and material resources did Zheng Guoqu spend in the pre-Qin period?

Now the Ministry of Commerce, who doesn't know how much money he can have, dares to pat his chest and say that he will build a canal?

Of course, Xiao He did not object to this decision, no matter how high the price was, as long as it was within the range of what he could bear, he would agree, it was nothing more than a little faster and slower.

"yes, it's a very simple thing!" Wang Buxing smiled and nodded, making money is sure to make money, small profits are more than nothing.

After all, as a pioneer of technology and an investor in hardware, it's not too much to collect a little money, right?

"Jane...... Simple??? Xiao He's eyes widened.

The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched slightly, speaking of Zheng Guoqu, it was all tears.

At that time, it was his ancestor who suggested that the king of Han send Zheng Guo to Qin State to preside over the construction of the canal, in order to consume Qin's national strength and make him unable to go eastward.

In fact, it was done, and in those years when the Zhengguo Canal was built, the Qin State did rarely wage war.

Life in South Korea has also been better for a few years.

However, just when everyone shouted happily that the west was decided, the Qin army came over in a mighty way.

The influence of Zheng Guoqu was too great, and it also caused Qin's grain production to skyrocket.

South Korea regretted it, but it was too late.

You can't go, Zheng Guoqu is blocked, right?

There weren't any explosives or anything in those days......

"Is it hard?" Wang Buxing looked at Xiao He, and then said: "The kind of device in the forging machine workshop, erect it, make it bigger, install some bamboo tubes or something, let the water flow push it on its own, and then pour the water into a pool, and then build a canal with a width and depth of about half a meter, and if possible, get some stones to pave it, is it difficult?" At that time, which household should use the water from the canal to make a record, and collect a few catties of grain per mu of land every year? ”

"A vacant water is too small, why not build a few more and let them flow into a canal? If you really can't do it, you can learn from the forging machine workshop, build a reservoir every other section, store water in it if you have nothing to do on weekdays, and then lead it from the pool to all directions. ”

"And the advantage of this thing is that as long as it is living water, he can automatically lead the water from the lower places to the higher places, and he doesn't have to bother as before."

Sometimes Wang Bu is not hungry and wonders if his crossing is in a dream.

Why are these people so stupid?

The hydraulic forging machine has been made by itself, so they can't make the waterwheel out of it like a gourd?

How powerful is a waterwheel?

Is this still described by the king not being hungry?

And now there is a shortage of water?

It is true that there is a shortage of water during the great drought, but the ecological environment has not been destroyed in these years.

There are many rivers, no matter how big or small, there is a lot of water.

But because there are no water wheels, there is no way for the water to be diverted farther away.

Places close to the river can carry buckets to get water, but what about those places that are a few miles or ten miles away?

Running for half a day and carrying two buckets of water back?

What is enough for two buckets of water?

Now that the imperial court invests, if nothing else, it will repair the canal to your land, and when the time comes, you can directly draw water from the land for irrigation, and the yield per mu of land will not be increased again?

The increase in production means that the family eats more, and it originally took five people to farm to feed the family, but now four people are enough, and one more person can do something else to make money to subsidize the family?

Therefore, economic development is never just a matter of looking in one direction.

Lack of personnel, before the effect of the birth plan, how to optimize human resources, this is the most important.

The construction of such a simple canal is actually an investment in infrastructure.

And it's almost an investment, and in the future, just send a small number of people to repair it every year, which is basically a profitable thing.

"This can be had!" Xiao He slapped his head, he was really dizzy, why didn't he expect such a good thing?

"Well, the Ministry of Industry will try a few first, and use the farm slack to repair as much as you can, huh...... My suggestion is to let each family repair the canal at the head of each house, do what they are asked to do, and then connect it together, and after the repair, the water will be free for the first year. Wang Bu was hungry and dragged it down.

"Yes, but the minister thinks that it should be less than where it is close to the water source, and more where it is far away from the water source." Xiao He nodded.

"You go to negotiate for yourself, there must be an upper limit, you can't make the people feel too much, and the court doesn't need to rely on this to make money, the purpose of building canals is just to increase production and vacate people for other purposes." The king nodded unhurriedly.

Look, how simple things are, they can be solved in a few words.

The strong man really has to be busy, that is, when he ploughs the ground, sows and harvests, these jobs must be done by men, and they are all extremely laborious work.

And for the rest, weeding and watering, women and children can do it.

In the past, there was no water, and the water in the well was not allowed to be used, so everyone had to run to a distance to fetch water.

So more men and women fetch water, and old people work in the fields with their children.

So, Wang Bu looked at everyone as if he was looking down on all beings, and said, "Is there any more problem......
