Chapter 3 Ask the government to know that Wei is Cao
Yingyi didn't know if she had nothing to say or if she really found the way, so she preemptively suggested:
"Your Majesty, if you want to ask about changes, the prices on the market should be the most intuitive. In this regard, the minister felt that he should ask the great Si Nong. ”
Qin Zheng nodded, and when he glanced at Zilian, Zilian immediately stood up, and it seemed that he had already prepared.
"Your Majesty, in fact, when the prime minister counted the population and materials, the minister also counted the prices and compared them with the previous years.
Facts have proved that the current grain price in Guanzhong is on the high side: the ration for young and strong men serving in the military is three stones and three buckets in January, while the home rotation is two stones and three buckets.
It is said that the population is now nearly 300,000 young and strong, the state labor has also stopped, and the consumption of grain is much less, but the price is half higher than in previous years......" Zilian said with a frown.
Qin Zheng understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, it was clear that the people were not optimistic about the form of estimation, which caused price fluctuations.
Before Qin Zheng could open his mouth to express his opinion, Yingyi picked up first: "It must be those businessmen who are hoarding Juqi." Your Majesty, the minister proposes to suppress the hoarding merchants and impose heavy taxes! ”
Qin Zheng listened to Yingyi's vicious analysis, and his face changed. He knows that the essence of price fluctuations is mainly that the people have no confidence in the market.
Now if we crack down on merchants, logistics will be even more difficult, and merchants who have been heavily taxed and cannot increase their prices can only go bankrupt, while the people will only continue to increase their grain stockpiles, and prices will definitely not be reduced, and there will even be looting!
Qin Zheng categorically wouldn't do this, only to see his eyes roll and order: "Dasi Nong, I will give you a few days to take out the grain from the warehouse." ”
Dasi Nong Zilian actually knows that most of the people are not short of food, but it is absolutely very important to stabilize food prices.
Zilian asked, "Is Your Majesty going to release grain?" ”
Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "The people of Guanzhong have food and money, why do they want to release grain?" To put it is also to leave it until spring as seeds.
I just asked you to take it out and go to the square on a sunny day to dry it, but I can't let the grain worms become moldy. ”
"Huh?"
The honest Zilian was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood what Qin Zheng meant, and saluted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Everyone present was also the elite of the empire, and they all figured it out after a little thought. Qin Zheng showed the grain to the people and reassured the people.
At the same time, it is also a warning to businessmen that the imperial court has a way to make them lose their money, don't want to speculate.
In fact, Qin Zheng used the strategy of piling up gold in the banks of the Great Depression in later generations, and pursued a stable expectation.
Qin Zheng nodded: "That's it, do the others have any problems?" ”
"Your Majesty, when it comes to drying grain, there are also some problems, we enjoyed a large number of exotic fruits and vegetables at this banquet, many of which are unique and delicious, I don't know where to contribute, how can it be so rich in winter?"
Dasi Nong Zilian is worthy of dealing with land and grain for many years, and he found the key at once.
As soon as these fruits and vegetables were not available before, they could only be the products of the Gentiles. Second, if you can eat fruits and vegetables even though it is winter, it proves that these crops can be cultivated in winter.
Qin Zheng was a little pleased when he heard this, what he lacked now was this kind of subordinate who was good at pursuing new things. It seems that in the future agricultural reform and promotion, Zilianlai's leadership could not be better.
Qin Zheng patiently explained: "Da Sinong is right, these are indeed foreign... Some of the tributes were stored in the ice room of the palace, and some were the product of the greenhouse of the pond. ”
This is not only Zilian, but also several other important ministers. In fact, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, nobles from various countries began to collect natural ice cubes for storage, and at the same time, the grottoes iced various fruits and vegetables.
As for the off-season vegetables in Ditang, they were also cultivated in the Warring States period, and the famous winter storage Chinese cabbage in later generations was cultivated from the Qin and Han dynasties.
In ancient times, the ancients never gave up experimenting with the techniques of digging vegetables in the cellar next to the vegetable field and using stove fire bedding to keep warm, and they were really unscrupulous in order to eat.
Qin Zheng took this opportunity to say: "The cultivation and planting of these fruits and vegetables, the people who return to the department will probably also know, and let them send someone to teach them together in a few days."
In fact, I also learned a lot of wonderful methods from the sages, which can be used in all walks of life, but the results obtained in my dreams are somewhat fragmentary, and I have not practiced them. Therefore, I plan to write it down first, and then let the Great Sinong and the various departments experiment with it. ”
"Hey!" This kind of good thing of lightening work and enriching food is naturally quickly responded to by everyone.
Qin Zheng saw that his idea was so easily accepted by everyone, so he continued: "What questions do the other secretaries have? ”
As the atmosphere became more and more active, Wang Li also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also has some ideas. Lord Zhao mentioned that there was a big battle with the Korean army that day, and there were still many chariots in the Korean military camp.
But not only did the Wei army not have chariots, but even the style of weapons and armor was far from our Qin Han... The minister wondered if he could let the Wei army captives teach some of their weapon-making techniques? ”
Originally, Wang Li thought that Qin Zheng would definitely support this idea, but Qin Zheng's reaction was beyond the expectations of all of them.
I saw Qin Zheng get up violently, press his hands on the table, and ask in surprise, "What did you say?" There are no tanks, and armor weapons are not the same? ”
Wang Li looked at Qin Zheng's appearance, and could only recall truthfully: "It's true, their swords are longer, and almost all of them are made of iron. The armor pieces are smaller and denser, and there are retractable hems on the shoulders and waist. ”
After listening to this, Qin Zheng also calmed down a little, Qin, Han and Wei were all the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and the military development was in the time period when cavalry replaced chariots and iron replaced bronze, among which chariots were eliminated earlier.
But even when Qin was unified, it was just beginning to promote ironware, and iron tools completely replaced bronze tools in the early Han Wenjing period.
After hearing this, Qin Zheng began to analyze: "Any captive of the Wei army uses iron tools, and the armor also has superb weaving methods...... So they wouldn't be that Wei State! ”
Although everyone had accepted Qin Zheng's theory of time disorder, the first thing they encountered was actually Korea, which was even older than them.
Hardly any of them thought about what the country of the future would look like? Because most of the imperial elites are thinking about the Great Qin Wannian!
Qin Zheng hurriedly ordered: "Zheng Ling, go and bring a few Wei prisoners, preferably officers." Wang Li, where is that Wei general now? ”
"Hey!" Zheng Ling hurriedly answered and went out to call someone.
Wang Li also replied: "Your Majesty, the general of the Wei State broke his leg and was in a coma for a few days, and he only woke up yesterday, but he is still in a mess, and he is still in the camp outside the city. ”
Qin Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this, of course, what he was worried about was not to have a bad relationship with the Wei State, but to worry that the Wei general was gone, and there was nowhere to inquire about the news.
Fortunately, not long after the ceremony was completed, the captives were still being held in the camp in the city. Zheng Ling found a knight to work for him, and in just a quarter of an hour, he brought back a Wei military captain.
The knight threw the tied man to the ground, and saluted breathlessly: "Your Majesty, this is a hundred generals of the Wei army (pro-soldier captain), please ask Your Majesty to ask." ”
Qin Zheng saw that the Wei military captain on the ground had an angry face, obviously a hard bone, and frowned and said:
"Wei people, your family master will be seriously injured now, if you cooperate with my questioning, the imperial doctor can immediately go to treat him, otherwise ......"
Captain Wei gritted his teeth, his expression was very entangled, but in the end he sighed and said, "You can ask, as long as you can save the Lord Gong and I Xie Xing know everything." ”
When Qin Zheng heard the word lord, he felt that things must not be simple, and this Wei military captain was so loyal to the lord that he could even betray the country for the benefit of the lord, so Qin Zheng faintly guessed.
So Qin Zheng boldly tested: "General Wei, is the current emperor of Wei the Cao family?" ”
As soon as Xie Xing heard Qin Zheng's question, he suddenly felt as if he had been tricked, the emperor of Wei was of course Cao, and he was about to answer angrily.
Suddenly, he felt that things were not so simple, what was his lord thinking, he wouldn't know? Then he replied cautiously: "For now." ”
Qin Zheng's idea was verified, and he didn't plan to hide it, so he looked up and smiled:
"Hahaha, sure enough, Prime Minister Cao's descendants are also here? I don't know if Cao Pi or Cao Rui was the emperor? ”
Xie Xing's brows tightened when he heard this, did this Qin Jun know or didn't know?
If you don't know, why can you call the name of the first emperor, and if you know, how can you ask such a stupid question? Should I tell the truth?
