Whether it is the Great Qin, or many dynasties in later generations, if you want the people to live a good life, it is impossible to just farm the land, and you must also make every effort to develop commerce.

However, Daqin's national policy was to rejuvenate the country with agriculture, and to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, Daqin's productivity is too low to have to.

Shang Jun once said: The country is at peace with the agricultural war, and the lord is respected when the agricultural war is served!

It can be seen that in this era, agriculture is important to a country.

It was also from this time that with the ranking of Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen had almost no right to speak.

Of course, except, there are very few big businessmen like Ba Qing and Wu Shi Lu.

But now it is different, with the spread of potatoes, sweet potatoes, hybrid rice, corn, columbians, curved ploughs and other agricultural products, it will not be long before the people no longer have to worry about having enough to eat.

At that time, almost all peasant households may have a large amount of surplus grain in their homes.

At this time, Daqin must change from a small-scale peasant economy to a market economy, so that the people's living standards can be improved again, and even enter a well-off life.

"Then I don't know how Zhao Xiang thinks he can make Great Qin prosperous for all generations?"

At this time, Li Si asked.

"Encourage business economy, fully support businessmen, and rejuvenate the country with business!"

Zhao Heng said slowly.

As his words fell, the entire hall seemed to be cast with a little boy, which blew up the brains of all the ministers.

Rejuvenating the country with business?

Is this young prime minister crazy?

Not only did he want to change the law, but he also wanted to move the foundation of Great Qin!

"The words of the prime minister in China, the prime minister dare not agree!"

Li Si's gaze looked directly at Zhao Heng and said, "Shang Junyan: The reason why mortal lords persuade the people is that the officials are also; The reason why the country is prosperous is that the agricultural war is also; Today, when the people seek officials, they do not fight with agriculture, but with clever words, which is called labor; and he who toils his people, his kingdom will be powerless; and those who are powerless, their kingdom will be cut down. ”

Shang Jun also said: The husband and the people are not available, and the gentleman can be respected, the businessman can be rich, and the skill is enough to satisfy the mouth; When the people see that these three are convenient and beneficial, they will avoid farming; If you avoid farming, the people will live lightly, and if you live lightly, you will not defend the war. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "How can businessmen rejuvenate the country and strengthen the country if they are not engaged in production, opportunistically, and seek the interests of peasant households?" ”

Hearing his words, almost most of the officials in the hall couldn't help but nod.

Clearly, they all agreed with Lees.

It is estimated that only Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were present, full of confidence in Zhao Heng.

Not to mention the artifacts that Zhao Heng took out, the identity of Zhao Heng Hongchen Immortal alone was enough to convince them.

"The law of the merchant monarch, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, does have its reason."

Zhao Heng's eyes looked at Li Si, and his face remained unchanged and said: "But Shang Jun's law was only applicable in the past, but now it is not applicable, because from now on, Daqin will no longer be short of food, and the farmers not only don't even need to worry about not having enough to eat, but there will definitely be a lot of surplus grain at home." ”

"At that time, if these surplus grains are not properly resolved, it will definitely cause huge losses to all farmers!"

In fact, two months ago, when he just left Baiyucheng, he had asked Yingzheng to send thousands of envoys to rush to the major counties and counties with seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, hybrid rice and other crops, as well as drawings of columbs and quyuan plows.

I believe that even this year, the vast majority of the people of Daqin will be able to have a bumper harvest.

At the very least, the situation of starving people to death should not happen again.

As Zhao Heng's words fell, everyone couldn't help but fall silent.

Only then did they realize that the reason why the young prime minister in front of them was able to be canonized as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households by His Majesty, and that he had been sealed off for the first time in history, was precisely because he brought crops that could be called gods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes to Daqin, as well as the two major artifacts of the cocoon and the Quyuan plow, which could increase the yield several times or even more than ten times.

"Li Xiang, do you want to buy all the surplus grain of all the farmers at your own expense?"

Zhao Heng continued to ask.

Li Si's eyes were sluggish when he heard this, even if he had money, it was impossible for him to buy all the surplus grain from all the farmers in Daqin.

Especially now, farmers have not only planted hybrid rice with a yield of ten or three hundred stones per mu, but also potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn with a yield of twenty or thirty stones per mu, and even have a cocoon and a quyuan plough to help.

Not to mention him personally, even if it is the treasury of Great Qin, it is almost impossible to buy all the surplus grain of all the people at once.

As the left minister of Great Qin, he knows better than anyone that Great Qin is really poor, and years of conquest have already hollowed out Lao Qin's foundation, although after more than ten years of cultivation, he still has not completely recovered his vitality.

As for the money he owns, not to mention compared with big businessmen such as Ba Qing, even if it is an ordinary businessman, he can't compare.

"Could it be that Zhao Xiang thinks that my merchants in Daqin can buy all this surplus grain?"

Li Si's gaze looked directly at Zhao Heng and asked.

"Naturally!"

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "As long as we encourage business and fully support the businessmen, then the surplus grain of the farmers will definitely be able to be digested." ”

"When the people sell their surplus food, they will have money, and after they have money, they will be able to build houses, buy clothes, refined salt and other daily necessities, and their lives will become better and better."

After a pause, he continued: "However, in order to do this, there is one more condition that must be met. ”

"What conditions, sir?"

At this time, Ying Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Transportation, simply put, is building roads!"

Zhao Hengdao.

Even in later generations, there is a saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!

When the road is repaired, the merchants will be willing to enter the village and transport a large amount of surplus grain.

"Is that the galloping path I cultivated?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly and asked.

He spent a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate the road in the whole Great Qin, but in exchange for the resentment of many people.

Now, he seems to be very supportive of him.

"It's not all!"

Zhao Heng nodded slightly and said: "In addition to the galloping roads connecting the major counties and counties, there must also be roads through villages and villages, and roads for every household. ”

The so-called village access roads, household roads, are not just simple roads, but must lead to large roads, and even cement roads must be built.

In this way, even if tractors, tricycles and other means of transportation are developed in the future, they can still be driven directly to every household.

"If everybody is in business, who will farm the land?"

After a brief silence, Li Si spoke again.

"Since ancient times, all officials have been masters, and what is the geometry of those who may be officials?"

Zhao Heng smiled faintly and replied.

Traders are simple to say, but they just buy low and sell high, but not everyone can do it.

And there are very few people who want to achieve this level of Baqing.
