Fusu listened to Li Si's comments, smiled happily, and was very proud of what he had done.
"Teacher, I want to make this kind of training the norm, I don't know if you think it's feasible?" Although Fusu was happy, he didn't get carried away, and asked Li Si very carefully.
"What do you think?" Li Si, as usual to Fusu, did not directly answer Fusu's questions.
"I think this is very effective and can be used as a means to implement the new policy." Fusu came to Li Si to promote business training with the help of Li Si's approval, and of course he would not find fault with himself.
Li Si thought for a while and said to Fusu: "It's a good measure, but now the Qin State has no spare energy to institutionalize it." β
"As far as I know, you have used Lang Zhong's training this time very much. And the king did not provide you with additional support except for asking the general to rebuild Sixian Yuan according to your instructions, and all the expenses of Sixian Yuan were paid in advance by your son's mansion. Needless to say, you can make a buffet, other miscellaneous things, the cost is not small, the shops in your house are all over the Qin State, there is no tax extortion, and you specialize in the fresh products produced by your workshop, and the income is naturally no problem to support a training. The state of Qin is now making great efforts to conquer foreign countries, and the strength of the whole country is concentrated on the recruitment and training of the army, and even the age of men is also for the needs of the soldiers. If you continue to spend your energy on this, I'm afraid it won't end well. β
After listening to Li Si's words, Fusu realized that he was able to carry out bitter statistics so easily, which was the result of Ying Zheng's intentional connivance, maybe many of his ideas were indeed very advanced and efficient, but without the support of Ying Zheng and Li Si, I am afraid it would be impossible to implement them in Qin State.
Fusu was a little disappointed, thinking that his next plan might suffer more setbacks, but remembering that he had seen so many orphans and widows in the household registration statistics, he still felt that his plan had to be carried out no matter what.
Fusu cleaned up his spirit and said to Li Si: "It's that the student didn't think it through, but the student still has some ideas and wants the teacher to give them some advice." β
Seeing that Fusu was not entangled in training, Li Si thought that he had put the matter down, and said casually: "Let's hear it." β
"The students are responsible for the household registration statistics in Xianyang, and there are at least seven or eight orphans and widows I have encountered, plus the number of orphans and widows counted by other groups, in the capital of the Qin State, there are four or five hundred families broken up by the death of adult men in battle. The separate household system implemented by the Qin State made it impossible for these families to survive independently once they lost their men, especially those who still had children in the family, and they could only take refuge in the large families as slaves and servants, so the students wanted to do their best for these families and make the Qin State less hostile to the war. β
Fusu looked at Li Si's gradually frowning brows, and whispered, "The student wants to adopt Xianyang orphans in half an orphanage." β
Li Si listened to Fusu's last sentence, his brows furrowed more and more, his fingers tapped on the table, and he didn't speak for a long time.
In Fusu's expectant eyes, Li Si said slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is even more difficult than training." β
"It's only difficult for the students, but this month has been too deep for me to feel at ease if I don't do something for these families." Fusu said solemnly.
Li Si wasn't quite sure if Fusu understood what he meant by difficult, so he said more clearly: "When I say difficult, I don't mean that you will spend more energy, but ......"
"Do you know why Shang Jun changed the law and suppressed Shang in addition to heavy agriculture?"
"Businessmen are not engaged in production, which is not conducive to agricultural production, and the pursuit of the world is not conducive to social stability." Fusu replied cautiously according to the mainstream view at this time.
"Do you know why Wei Yi suggested attaching importance to business and opposing the suppression of business?"
"It is very important for the growth of national strength that businessmen have transportation and bring wealth to society." As a disciple of Wei Wei, Fusu also knows Wei Wei's thoughts, and even admires them.
"Do you know why the king has a lot of trust in Wei Yi and does not accept it when it comes to the development of business."
For the first two questions, with what Fusu has learned, there is no difficulty in answering, even if it is more than enough to make a policy theory, but when he heard Li Si's third question, Fusu was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed as Li Si said. Ying Zheng admired Wei Wei's talent and learning, and even handed over the formulation of the entire Qin military strategy to him, but he did not adopt Wei Wei's suggestion of enhancing national strength and increasing strategic advantages through the development of commerce. Fusu used what he had learned and the knowledge of the old time and space, but he still didn't get anything, so he had to look at Li Si.
"You have also learned the old things of the Tian family's Daiqi, if you put it together with the question I just asked, what do you think?"
Fusu listened to Li Si's words, as if a lightning bolt crossed his mind, and he suddenly brightened.
At the beginning of the founding of the Qi State, it was Jiang Ziya's fiefdom, and was later usurped by the Tian family, who was born as a merchant. Tian's generation of Qi is a coup d'Γ©tat that has been prepared for hundreds of years, Jiang Qi has several monarchs in a row, but Tian has used his huge wealth to start buying people's hearts, they replace the Qi government in various places for disaster relief, running schools, and an important content is to adopt orphans in various places, give Tian the surname, so that the Tian family grew rapidly, the people of Qi only know Tian and do not know the king of Qi, and finally Tian replaced Jiang to become the new lord of Qi. If it is said that doing business is better than Lu Buwei's "strange goods", it is only the Tian family's Daiqi.
Thinking of this, Fusu gradually felt a little cold sweat on his forehead, not afraid of the many shops under his name, but afraid of the word "orphanage" he had just said.
You must know that at this time, people's view of their descendants is to be able to ensure that their own incense continues, that is, after their death, someone will sacrifice themselves and their ancestors, so when they have no children, adoption, adoption and other behaviors are very serious, which is equivalent to admitting that their adopted or adopted children can inherit everything themselves. In the case of the sparse population of their own clan, the Tian clan adopted the method of adopting orphans to strengthen the Tian clan, and these orphans enjoyed the same rights and obligations as the Tian clan side branches when they grew up, and became an important force in the Tian clan.
Today, only a hundred years have passed since the Tian Dynasty, if anyone mentions the adoption of orphans, the first feeling is that they will rebel. It can be said that Tian's behavior has brought a heavy burden to Chinese businessmen and philanthropy, and even affected China's philanthropy two thousand years later.
