Chapter 6 Building roads and running schools can make you rich
At this time, Zhao Gao suddenly stood up and said in a contrarian tone: "Your Majesty, go and ask Tang to explain the matter, I don't think Dasi Nong should be allowed to go." ”
Qin Zheng looked puzzled after hearing this, did Zhao Gao let him learn from Liu Bei Sangu Thatched House?
Qin Zheng asked: "Zhao Qing, do you want me to invite me personally?" ”
Zhao Gao shook his head: "How dare the minister, the minister heard that Chu Mo claimed to be righteous and if he was weak and asked, he would definitely help, and His Majesty was the strongest in the world, and he practiced the technique of fighting to nourish the war and stop the war, Chu Mo definitely didn't like it."
It's better to let the suffering people go first, so that Chu Mo knows what kind of person Liukou is, and His Majesty will come forward to ask again, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
And there will be my Qin Mo disciples, although the three factions are separated, but they are more or less in the same spirit, plus the recommendation of Dasi Nong, things should be possible. ”
After listening to this, Qin Zheng looked at Zi Lian again, and Zi Lian also bowed his head slightly and gave a positive answer.
Qin Zheng no longer hesitated: "Okay, just according to what Zhao Qing said, but I also want Tang Xie to understand that my Great Qin is not strong and strong, but I can't figure out the enemy's path, and my fists hit the air." ”
"Hey!" The crowd responded one after another.
After temporarily solving this matter, Qin Zheng's anger also disappeared a lot, and then he said from his seat:
"We continue to discuss the issue of restoring order in Great Qin, and I want to know what aspects cannot be restored to the original state now?"
As the prime minister, Yingyi was in charge, but fortunately, he was indeed prepared, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, whether it is the operation of the imperial court or the production and construction, there is no big problem.
The main shortage is manpower, but not the lack of young people. What the imperial court lacked were experienced officials, and agricultural production had to wait for spring, but it was not in a hurry. But there are some problems with the architecture......
Originally, according to my Daqin's plan, I wanted to build a straight road from Congjiuyuan to Xianyang, and I also wanted to expand the world's Chidao post station, but now there is no news in the north, and the Kanto region is also... Nope.
There is nowhere to make up for the loss of young and strong, and if you want to continue to levy and issue conscription, there will inevitably be people who will work for more than a year, so that spring sowing will definitely be delayed. ”
Forced labor of the common people was justified in the feudal dynasty. But Qin Zheng is a person in the future, so naturally he will not support this approach. Even if Qin's labor is actually in charge of food, some of them are paid, which can be regarded as a guarantee for many poor people in winter.
"I will not be conscripted for labor this winter, but according to the inventory, those who cannot survive the winter on their own can be organized, and I do not want them to cultivate the straight.
I also have a good livelihood for them, which is guaranteed to be easier than hard labor, and more rewarding. After the meeting, you go and register them all, take them to Shaofu, and then I will teach them. ”
"Hey!" Although Yingyi still had some doubts, she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only respond. However, Wang Li has some opinions.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to repair it if the Kanto region is gone, but the straight road to the north should still be started, and the situation of the nomadic group in the north has not been clarified yet, so we have to guard against it."
Qin Zheng also understands Wang Li's concerns, but now Daqin really can't stand the toss, if he overhauls Lishan like the second emperor back then, I'm afraid that he will die without others to fight him.
Qin Zheng was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Actually, the sages also came up with ideas for me to teach me a quick way to build a road, but I didn't listen carefully, I'm afraid I will have to experiment many times." ”
Qin Zheng said that it is naturally a cement road, don't look at the later generations of Huaxia cement production alone the world, now it is a real high-tech, plus the proportion of mortar modulation, etc., to mature the use of it is definitely not an overnight thing.
After his words were finished, everyone present did not dare to pack tickets, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while, but the honest man Zilian relieved Qin Zheng.
"Your Majesty, as long as you teach us the general method, the ministers and the disciples of the Mo family will definitely study it day and night, and they will definitely come up with a plan before spring. I just don't know how much the road construction time can be compressed if His Majesty's method is successful? ”
Qin Zheng saw that Zilian came out to support him, and he was also a little grateful in his heart, so he immediately pondered and gave a conservative number: "If you only go to the Great Wall, it can be shortened to about 50 days." ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard it, you must know that the original straight road planning period is one and a half years! Now that there is a shortage of manpower, Qin Zheng still dares to say that it will be 50 days, isn't it a miracle?
Even Zilian's bark-like old face turned red with excitement: "Your Majesty, if such a divine technique is successful, it will really be of great benefit to my Great Qin, and I can save a lot of time for farming training in the future!" ”
Everyone was also excited, and they all saw the value of the cement road.
Qin Zheng smiled slightly, and struck while the iron was hot: "In fact, the way to shorten the road construction time is to use lime-based mortar instead of stone.
Moreover, the mortar made by this method can also be used in housing, city walls, dam repairs, etc., which can almost be said to be omnipotent. ”
Everyone's eyes turned red when they heard this, what kind of treasure is this, what kind of thing is it? However, Zilian, who has some engineering experience, has more concerns.
"Your Majesty, if it is to smash stones to extract powder, wouldn't it be more laborious than using whole stones, how can the construction period be shortened?" Zilian asked puzzled.
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Da Sinong is right, if it is just manpower to deal with the stones, it will naturally not be fast, but we now have a better way."
One is the main ingredient of the thunder you've seen - gunpowder, which can be used to mine stone. I can even try to take gunpowder a step further and turn it into explosives, but I have to take my time.
Second, the sages also taught me a set of methods of using the water power of livestock, which can easily and powerfully process the blasted stones and grind them into powder.
In the end, you have all seen the utensils left by the previous dynasty (Ming orthodoxy), and in some respects I have to say that they are quite exquisite.
Therefore, if we can learn these techniques, it will definitely be helpful for us to further learn the divine arts. Therefore, I am going to let people go back to the ministry to collect relevant materials and transport them back to the generals and Shaofu to study. ”
Zilian didn't have any worries after hearing this, and then saluted and returned.
Qin Zheng said at this time: "Everyone, whether it is a worker, a farmer, or a businessman, you must resume work and production in the near future, at least to reach the level of previous winters.
If it's difficult, look for me, find Dasinon, and see what kind of magic help you need, as long as the sages have it, I can ask for it. A little research will definitely get you twice the result with half the effort! ”
"Hey!" Everyone said in unison.
Qin Zheng also nodded with satisfaction: "In addition, many things cannot be carried out in winter, so you can consider integrating the affairs of various schools first."
I decided that in the future, I would gradually increase the enrolment rate of children everywhere until everyone could read and write, and everyone could memorize the law. ”
Qin Zheng's words shocked everyone, but they were actually bigger than building a cement road. Now none of them know how to say anything.
In fact, local educational institutions have existed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and most of them are official, and Confucius pioneered private school education.
But in the final analysis, education at this time was essentially the right of the aristocracy, and even Confucius, who had no class, could only be popularized to the rich peasant class.
Ordinary people don't have access to these things at all. On the contrary, in order to preach the law and promote the test, Qin let the people understand some of the terms of the articles.
Yingyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if all children are allowed to come to study, the township school will not be able to accommodate it, and it will not be able to teach; Second, many people help their families to work when they are young, so there is one less laborer, and the people may not have enough money. ”
Qin Zheng frowned when he heard this, he grew up in an era when compulsory education was common, so he naturally couldn't understand the difficulty of going to school at this time.
However, if he cannot improve the quality of the people as a whole, no matter how many things he invents, it will be useless, and in the end he will only die and his development will stagnate.
However, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and Qin Zheng cannot disobey it, so he can only make rapid and gradual progress.
"Then expand the scale, try to enroll all those who can afford it, and if there is enough property to teach the children to have food and clothing, but do not go to the village school, the tax will be raised.
In addition, individuals are allowed to run schools, regardless of whether they charge or not, and the imperial court can also give certain support according to the number of students, but the materials of professors must be reviewed by the imperial court.
In addition, the subsidy comes from my Shaofu, but whether it is a village school or a private school, you have to accept the inspection of the imperial court, and you have to find someone to preside over this matter for me. ”
"Hey!" Then the crowd agreed.
Qin Zheng sighed and thought to himself, "Alas! I really don't know how the ancestors did it when New China was founded. If you want to be rich......"
