Listening to Zhao Qi's words, Lu Buwei nodded frequently, at first he thought that Zhao Qi was really good for the sake of the people of Daqin, but when he heard the last sentence, his face immediately darkened, how could this old child be blinded by lard, and his mouth was full of copper smell?

Of course, the reason why Zhao Qi put forward this idea without taboo is not only because he has a close relationship with Lu Buwei and can do whatever he wants, what he wants to express is that he has no money to spend, so he can only buy a stove to make money, I believe that with Lu Buwei's mind, it should not be a big problem to hear this clearly, and when the time comes, he only needs to tell His Royal Highness Prince Zichu that everything will be fine.

This was inevitably reprimanded, Lu Buwei blew his beard angrily and glared, pointing at Zhao Qi and reprimanding: "You kid, you are a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how can it become a deal for you here?" At this time, Hugh has to mention it again, you are short of money, the old man will give it to you, it will be regarded as buying a stove for the people of Daqin, if you dare to take it out and sell it secretly, see how the old man cleans you up! ”

I haven't seen him for two months, and Lu Buwei actually slowly accepted his age and began to call himself an old man, which is a good change, at least he has the appearance of an elder, but Zhao Qi really can't follow the meaning of this elder, he heard the situation that worried him in Lu Buwei's words.

"Uncle Lu's words are wrong, this kid's approach is not a profit-seeking business, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Zhao Qi shook his head and said.

Lu Buwei frowned, stared at Zhao Qi carefully for a long time, as if he wanted to see a bird on his face, and said after a long time: "Thinking about making money for the people all day long, how can it become a good thing to benefit the country and the people?" Don't give the old man a reasonable explanation today, see how the old man cleans you up. In the end, he still has to listen to Zhao Qi's thoughts, he knows Zhao Qi very well, and what this kid is not sure about is never without a target.

"Uncle Lu, the reason why the kid said this is naturally after careful consideration, you know, the people take food as the sky, the country lives on the people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the lives of the people are important, but where does the copper in the treasury of Great Qin come from? The kid believes that people's livelihood is important, and we can't stick to farming.

Nowadays, the industry in Daqin is increasing day by day, this is not the direction of the situation, the development of industry and commerce has become an inevitable trend, this stove is made, if the uncle is free to the people of Daqin according to his own ideas, although it can solve the urgent need, but it is not a long-term solution.

Although these people were given stoves, the poorer ones could not afford more money to buy coal, and they still had to freeze in winter, and even used a brazier to burn firewood.

As far as this stove alone is concerned, a new industry can sprout, copper and iron are needed to make a stove, which requires people to collect, and the craftsman is naturally much slower to make a stove, if the method is taught to the common people, the assembly line project is naturally much more convenient, in addition, where does the coal come from? If people need to collect, the superficial ones can give civilians money for them to collect, and as for the deeper dangers, they will arrange them for prisoners, who are not afraid of gossip in addition to danger.

This is a big industry, Daqin must be firmly held in his hands, just like manufacturing, what Daqin needs to do is to launch a person to do this, create a furnace manufacturing plant and coal mines, and then spend money to invite the people who are idle at home or have no harvest to work, Daqin's nobles specify to buy, the people have income and naturally do not want to be frozen, they spend money to buy furnace coal, and the money becomes the harvest of the manufacturing plant and coal mine, we will take out a part of these revenues and hand them over to the treasury, and the rest is still a cycle, so that The people will not be frozen in winter, and the treasury of Daqin will not be empty. ”

Zhao Qi said a lot of things in one breath, Lu Buwei was thinking seriously, Zhao Qi's ideas were too informative, he needed time to digest, he never thought that a small stove could actually improve the way of life of the people of Daqin, but what Zhao Qi said was reasonable, he couldn't refute it, but he couldn't figure it out, the limited money went around between the production plant and the people, and the people were not richer, why could they live better than before, and they could give more to the treasury? So whose money is it that ends up earning?

Lu Buwei was pondering, Zhao Qi didn't bother, and stood quietly waiting for him to react, believing that with his wisdom, he would not fail to understand what Zhao Qi meant.

After a long time, Lu Buwei sighed, as if he had aged a lot in an instant, he nodded and said: "The old man really has nothing to say, boy, although your judgment is justified, but the old man really can't understand why the same money can meet the needs of the people and merchants at the same time?" And how much more can be handed over to the treasury? ”

"Uncle is just led astray by the conventional theory, thinking that as long as someone benefits someone must pay, in fact, these things are mainly earned by the money of the officials, the people can't afford to buy high-quality, the profit is not big, but the nobles are different, in order to summon the status, they will naturally buy more luxurious, we only need to make the materials used in the stove layered, fine high price sold to the nobles, simple low price sold to the common people, in fact, the role is the same, the nobles paid for it, Merchants make money naturally to collect taxes, that is to say, the money of the treasury is actually paid by the nobles, Daqin used part of the money for war, part of it was issued to officials and nobles, the treasury is profitable, the weapons are advanced, the war will naturally be won, and the part of the expenditure will come back, which forms a cycle, and the result is that the country is rich and the people are strong! The corners of Zhao Qi's mouth hooked up a smile, he had already seen the shock in Lu Buwei's eyes, and believed that it would not be long before his judgment would appear on King Qin's case.

"A good country is rich and the people are strong, and it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Lu Buwei nodded from time to time, sometimes shook his head, clapped his hands again, and finally took a deep breath, put his hands on Zhao Qi's shoulders and said, "The old man is becoming more and more incomprehensible to you now, you may really be like Zou Yan said, you are a god descending to earth, but this doesn't matter anymore, today's 'circular theory' completely convinces the old man, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it is worth a try, the old man will go to meet the prince today, there is a lot of article on this matter!" ”

Zhao Qi lowered his head and did not speak, the form of later generations is naturally advanced in this era, not to mention the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, that is, in the Qing Dynasty, this judgment is beyond the times. I believe that the social form of later generations will be slowly pushed forward in Daqin, and it will be difficult for Daqin to be rich or not, and as for the specific implementation, there are courtiers of Daqin, so naturally he does not need to care.

In fact, Zhao Qi still wants the agency of this factory, Lu Buwei doesn't understand, after his flickering, he thinks that the people and the treasury of Daqin who benefit the most are the people of Daqin, and in fact, the one who Daqin launched to do this is the one who makes the most money, Zhao Qi believes that once this industry appears, there will basically be no loss, and this stove will become a must-have thing for every household, because this thing can not only be used for heating, but also boil water for cooking in winter, what reason do people have to refuse?

Production materials and manpower is a big problem in later generations, but it is not a problem at all in Daqin, the gap between the rich and the poor in Daqin is too big, those who can't eat, don't say how much wages are given, that is, give them three meals a day, they will work hard to help you, with labor, are you afraid of lack of materials?

Lu Buwei hurriedly pulled Zhao and Mu to the back hall to change his court clothes, Zhao Qi casually found a chair to sit down, and made a cup of tea by himself. Since the furniture of the Zhao family was replaced with a large table and chairs, most of the furniture of Lu Buwei and Wang Jian has also been replaced with this kind of furniture.

Lu Hui babbled and ran over, lying on Zhao Qi's lap and watching Xiao Xianggong think about the problem, after a long time, he felt bored, so he stabbed him with his index finger, Zhao Qi came back to his senses, hehe smiled, took out a snack from his arms and handed it to her like a trick, the little girl immediately laughed, and circled around Zhao Qi with a smile.

Zhao Qi rubbed her hair dotingly, squatted down and picked up this fiancée who was not a few years younger than himself, pressed her eyebrows and took her to the yard, he said everything that should be said, there is no need to stay in the Lu family, it is the right thing to go to the Meng family to find the two brothers and drink with the old man Meng.
