Chapter 099: Concentrate your efforts and increase production capacity
——
Ju Xin implemented the system of meritorious service of defending the country into a system of eight lords and twenty-one ranks, which was one level more than the twentieth rank of military merit in the similar Qin State. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The eight meritorious lords are: more, scholar, doctor, national pillar, uncle, qing, marquis, and jun.
The twenty-one ranks are: first-class junior guard, second-level upper guard, third-level corporal, fourth-level sergeant, fifth-class sergeant, sixth-level doctor, seventh-level middle doctor, eighth-level doctor, ninth-level young national pillar, tenth-level upper national pillar, eleventh great country pillar, twelfth-level Guan Bo, thirteenth-level uncle, fourteenth-level Zuoqing, fifteenth-level right-king, sixteenth-level Shangqing, seventeenth-level minister, eighteenth-level Qianhu Hou, nineteenth-level Wanhu Hou, twentieth level duke, and twenty-first level Fengjun.
It is important to note that the title of Meritorious Service of the Patriotic Nation cannot be hereditary.
And as long as they make meritorious deeds, the people who defend the country can be knighted. It's not just a prestige, each rank has a corresponding merit.
A fifth-class sergeant means that he can receive the equivalent of 500 koku of grain from the government every year until he dies.
As long as the person who obtains the title, there must be a sum of money, which is equivalent to the state to support you and be rich until death, and the children cannot inherit the title means that the person who has the title will no longer pay as soon as he dies, but the heirs can inherit the other inheritance of the father in addition to the title.
The meritorious knighthood system is the wealth and nobility they dream of.
Fifth-level sergeant, how many heads do you have to kill on the battlefield and how many lifetimes of cultivation and weaving do you have to be knighted to the rank of sergeant? Zheng Kui couldn't help but think incredibly in his heart, and now he only needs to make this Quyuan plow as shown in the picture to be able to become a fifth-level sergeant.
Zheng Kui still felt like he was dreaming after he was ordered to leave the Patriotic Palace.
He didn't know how significant the birth of Qu Yuan Plough was to be able to promote the soaring productivity of agricultural civilization, even if it was a knight to the ninth level of the Shaoguo Pillar, it was not an exaggeration, and because of this, even for Zheng Kui's fifth-level sergeant, it was very exaggerated. You must know that being able to become a fifth-class sergeant is an achievement that countless people will find difficult to achieve in their lifetime.
Zheng Kui has already been ordered to build Quyuan plow, Wei Zheng has not kept too much secrecy about it, to be precise, there is no clear need to keep secrets, Quyuan plough is a farm tool that is naturally popular, so it is impossible to keep secrets and there is no need to keep secrets.
Even if it is introduced into the territory of other countries, it is not a bad thing, after all, Wei Zheng became the first monarch in history to improve the status of a businessman, and he still knows a little about economics in two lifetimes, and he knows that fighting a war is not only a fight on the battlefield, but also an economic war without gunpowder.
With Zheng Kui's departure, Wei Zheng immediately called the left palace supervisor again, and ordered: "Pass my edict to the right prime minister, the ploughing cattle of the Wei Kingdom are concentrated in the control of the two counties and counties, and they are designated as the public vessels of the society, and the ploughing cattle of the countries are purchased at a high price through the hands of merchants as much as possible, and the ploughing cattle are distributed as soon as the cultivation period is reached......
"——!"
"Slow ——!" Wei Zheng suddenly pointed to the palace eunuch Zuo who turned his head and bowed his head, his tone was indifferent but with an unquestionable momentum, and said: "Anyone who uses this to seek personal disobedience will be punished according to law, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
"——!"
Wei Zheng obviously regards the ploughing cattle as a strategic material of a country, and the slaughter of ploughing cattle in this era is intolerable in any country, because ploughing cattle are important tools for farming, and they are very scarce.
Wei Zheng wants to quickly raise the "gross domestic product" of the country, and make the country rich as soon as possible, but he can't let the people do their own thing, and the efficiency is still low.
As long as the top decision-making level does not make a major mistake in decision-making, and only when the direction is correct can we concentrate our forces on major things and quickly accomplish them.
Obviously, Wei Zheng's direction is not wrong, and there is only one purpose: to enhance national strength.
Wait for the curved plough to come out, replace all the straight ploughs on the ploughing ox, and the efficiency of the ploughing ox will increase and go up.
The left palace supervisor brought Wei Zheng's original words to the right prime minister's mansion without a word or a lot, and Ju Xin attached great importance to Wei Zheng's dictation, and immediately formed a new group under the control of the government, which was responsible for the matter of cattle cultivation in various places.
On the other hand, the government also issued a notice that not only could they buy cattle at a high price, but also accumulate meritorious deeds.
The meritorious lord system, this is the hottest thing for the subjects of the entire patriotic country, and it is almost something that the whole people are chasing. Weiguo is a vassal state with many merchants, as soon as the notice of the government is posted, the merchants of Weiguo are immediately ready to move, not only can make a lot of real money, but also accumulate merits, if the businessman is indifferent, then it is not called a businessman.
All of a sudden, ploughing cattle became a strange commodity in the eyes of patriotic merchants.
Now since the spring meeting, the new year is on the occasion of spring ploughing, and the government has set up a special part of the overall planning, and the existing ploughing cattle of the country are distributed to the counties and townships of the two counties, and the local people can apply for ploughing cattle from the local government to plough their own land.
There is organization and discipline, the efficiency is really different, and the ploughing cattle are used to the extreme as much as possible. The overall efficiency of spring ploughing has been improved, and the people of Weiguo have gradually freed up more free time.
It was also after listening to the official that I learned that the new law clearly stipulates that the merit can be accumulated by clearing the wasteland, and the reclaimed wasteland does not need to be handed over to the national government, but belongs to the pioneer for a hundred years.
The common people are very simple, and the diligence of the Chinese people is not casually said, it seems to be a natural skill attribute, and when they see the wasteland, they want to open up the wasteland and farm it.
Under the strong stimulus of the "will of the state" to give the people of the country more work and more rewards, the atmosphere of enthusiasm and upward work is gradually sweeping all parts of the country.
With the passage of time, Zheng Kui got the drawings from Wei Zheng and immediately caught up with the production schedule, and within a few days and nights, the world's first Quyuan plough officially appeared on the stage of history.
Wei Zheng, who learned the news, called Ji Xin and came to the craftsman shop together.
Quyuan plough is a big thing involving people's livelihood and national strength, and no one attaches more importance to this small object than Wei Zheng.
At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had left the palace, came to the field with Ju Xin, and Zheng Kui saw Wei Zheng and Ju Xin and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The grass people have met the prince and the right prime minister!" ”
"Excuse me, what about Ben Hou's Quyuan plow?" Wei Zheng stopped and said as he walked slowly. Zheng Kui immediately replied: "Yu Junhou, this is the Quyuan plough built by the grass people in accordance with the name of the Junhou, please take a look!" ”
"Oh?" Wei Zheng immediately followed his hand to look to the side, Ju Xin also looked at it curiously, and saw that it was indeed a ploughing tool, but it was very different from the straight plow, and it was more complex and subtle than the straight plow.
That's enough!
"This is what the prince said about the Quyuan plow?" Ju Xin asked curiously.
"Not bad——! Wei Zheng was lightly afraid of the dirt in his hand, and immediately looked at Zheng Kui and said, "Zheng Kui, introduce to the prime minister." ”
"——!" Zheng Kui immediately introduced to the drama Xin on the various parts of the Quyuan plow: "Prime Minister You, here is called the ploughshare, this is called the ploughshare, this is called the plough wall, here is the plough bottom, the pressure of the plough, the forehead, the plough arrow, the plough wheel, the plough tip, the plough comment, the plough building, the plough plate; The curved plough is composed of the above 11 parts, which is particularly delicate and flexible, and can dump the soil on one side when ploughing, which not only greatly saves the physical strength of the ploughing cattle, but also the ploughing efficiency is amazing. ”
"Zheng Kui, can there be ploughing cattle?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Back to the prince, the grass people have prepared a ploughing cow." Zheng Kui was clearly well prepared.
"Give it a try now, Ben Hou wants to see how effective the Quyuan plow is." Wei Zheng said. Zheng Kui immediately received the order, beckoned a few of his subordinates to start working, and after a while, he brought a ploughing ox, and Zheng Kui ordered a few of his subordinates to be busy putting a curved plow on the ploughing ox.
Wei Zheng, who was paused not far away to watch, turned around and smiled at Ji Xin: "Quyuan plough is a good thing, Zi Xin knows that this small object can double or even several times the grain output of my country." With the quyuan plow, it is not a problem for a farmer to cultivate 50 acres of land. ”
"Is this true?" Ji Xin was really taken aback when he heard it, it was really incredible that a small tool was so powerful as Wei Zheng said.
"Just look at it." Wei Zheng motioned for him to look, and at this moment, the ploughing ox with the Quyuan plow rushed to the field and officially began to plow the field under the personal drive of Zheng Kui.
