Chapter 41: The World is Shaken
"I have heard for a long time that the son has many amazing opinions, and it is so! And so it was! Fan Sui tapped his hands lightly, full of praise, and his face was full of admiration.
If you don't talk to Qin Yiren deeply, I don't know that Qin Yiren has such a wonderful method that people can't even dream of, and he can't do it if he doesn't praise it.
"The prime minister has won the award." Qin Yiren said humbly.
Patent law, this is something that modern people know, and it has provoked Fan Sui so much, Qin Yiren is really a little embarrassed.
Fan Sui is an extremely smart person, if you talk about intelligence alone, although Qin Yiren is good, he may not be able to compare, after all, Fan Sui is a famous strategist through the ages, and a strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" has been passed down through the ages. However, Qin Yiren has more than two thousand years of civilization than Fan Sui, which is not comparable to Fan Sui.
With the two-thousand-year civilization gap, Qin Yiren's words and deeds gave Fan Sui a sense of freshness, and Qin Yiren's ideas made them full of praise.
"What Gongzi said is very important and extremely useful, however, at present, Daqin wants to move eastward in a big way, to sweep away the six countries, and unify China, and there is no more manpower, material and financial resources. Fan Sui groaned: "There are priorities, and the consumption of large schools is huge, and the results are slow, so it is not an urgent task at the moment. ”
Running a school is certainly a fundamental matter for a country and a nation, which can open up the wisdom of the people and improve the quality of the whole people. However, this requires a lot of investment, a huge cost, and the results are too slow, because many people are unwilling to work education, even a wise person like Fan Sui is like this, which makes Qin Yiren very emotional.
"Even so, there are some things that have to be done first. Such as law-making. Elective Library. "Fan Sui is a wise person after all. With a far-sighted vision, it is very human, and said: "If these things can't be done, it will be difficult for the academy to do it." I mean, this matter is still led by Childe, okay? ”
Indeed, if there is no legal protection, education for all must be promoted. That's a fool's dream. The formulation of laws, the selection of teachers, and the selection of buildings are the top priorities, and only by doing these things in the first place can education for all be implemented.
"The prime minister is very loving, and strangers dare not do their best." For this matter, Qin Yiren also intends to take responsibility.
"Although Daqin's financial resources are tight at the moment, it is difficult to run a large school, but it can also run some first." Fan Sui's brows furrowed: "This is a major event that will benefit the future, and it has to be done." My intention, first ask Gongzi to discuss with Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi. Let's build a few schools first. When the time comes, expand again. ”
At present, the Qin State wants to concentrate financial, manpower, and material resources to conquer Shandong, and it is indeed impossible to come up with too much money. Besides, everything is still in Qin Yiren's thoughts, and it is not yet feasible to fully roll it out, so it is more realistic to set up some schools first, accumulate teachers and experience, and when the time is ripe, then roll it out in an all-round way.
"Prime Minister Gao Jian." Qin Yiren also agreed with Fan Sui's statement, and had to admire Fan Sui's pragmatism.
Once the matter was finalized, Fan Sui's resoluteness was reflected, and he said, "Childe, I will send you a clerk to do this." ”
This is the State of Qin, there is no backlog of government affairs, and the things of the day are done on the same day.
"No hurry, no hurry." Qin Yiren waved his hand and said, "The matter of running a school is only the first thing I want to say, and there is a second thing. ”
"And?" Fan Sui was a little surprised, looked at Qin Yiren, and said with a smile: "The son is good at learning, and he can get it!" Childe, please speak. ”
"The prime minister has been worried about the fact that after Great Qin's eastward expansion, where will this money and food come from?" Qin Yiren asked with a smile.
"Smack!" Fan Sui patted his forehead, a little distressed, and nodded heavily: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, you can be the enemy because of the grain, and you don't need to transport grain." At that time, although the Spring and Autumn Period was chaotic, it was not as good as the Warring States Rebellion. In the hundred years of the Warring States Period, the princes have worked hard to conquer, the world has consumed a lot, how much grain is there in a country? How rich is it? It is the country of Qi, which has the benefit of fishing and salt, and its money and food are not much. Great Qin's eastward expansion this time is really amazing, no less than the Changping War, only more. These can only be transported out of the Qin State, which is difficult and difficult! ”
There is a saying in "Sun Tzu" that "because of the grain to the enemy", it was in the Spring and Autumn Period, not applicable to the Warring States Period.
In the hundred years of the Warring States Period, the princes fought hard, even more than in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the world was in turmoil, the princes were constantly fighting each other, after all, Zhou Tianzi's deterrence was still obvious, and the princes had to have some scruples, and they were always tied up when they fought. In the Warring States Period, Zhou Tianzi no longer had the appeal, and he could no longer deter the world, the princes had no scruples, and even "won the title one after another", who cares about Zhou Tianzi?
It is precisely because of this that the Warring States period has been lawless for a hundred years, fighting as much as you want, and killing as you want. After a hundred years of war, countless casualties were inflicted, the fields were barren, there was no money, there was no food, and the land of Shandong became more and more difficult.
Only the Qin State is an outlier, the more the war becomes, the richer and richer. However, the First Battle of Changping consumed the savings of the Qin State for hundreds of years, and the money and grain were far from returning to the level before the Changping War.
Because the grain is in the enemy, I can't even think about it, the land of Shandong is almost out of food, where is the grain? This money and grain still have to fall on the Qin State, and it has to be paid by the Qin State.
Under such circumstances, the Qin State marched eastward, what a heavy burden it was for the Qin State? As the prime minister of Qin, Fan Sui can't help but worry.
"The second thing I want to say is that Daqin can improve agricultural tools to make them more labor-saving and more efficient." Qin Yiren said with a smile.
"Improving farm tools?" Fan Sui spread his hands, shook his head, and said: "Childe, this matter, Daqin is doing it every year, every month, every day, but it has little effect." In order to have more food, the Qin State vigorously promoted cattle farming and protected the cultivated cattle, but it was suffering from the lack of good farm tools, which was more difficult than running a school. ”
Agricultural production during the Warring States period was extremely inefficient, and the reason for this was that the agricultural tools were too backward. The land of Shandong is used to make people speechless.
The so-called plow, similar to the modern shovel, a cross-shaped part, a wooden handle on it, used to turn the soil, its usage and the shovel is not much different, first with the foot to step hard, so that it is inserted into the soil, and then a pull, it is completed.
This is as inefficient as you can imagine.
In order to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, the Qin State found another way and vigorously promoted cattle farming, although good results were achieved, and grain production increased greatly. However, what is distressing is that the plough is too backward and too "pitting the oxen".
The plough used at that time was cumbersome and heavy, inconvenient and inflexible, and a waste of manpower and ox power. Three or two cows, plus one person, can plow out an acre of land a day, which is considered good. Its low efficiency can be seen from this.
In order to improve agricultural tools, it can be said that the Qin State racked his brains and worked hard, but it had no effect. This thing is more difficult than running a school, and it is much more difficult.
Although it is difficult to run a school, you only need money to set it up, and it takes technology to improve agricultural tools, and no amount of money and food is useless.
Seeing Fan Sui's distressed look in his eyes, Qin Yiren was quite amused, took out a piece of parchment from his arms, handed it to Fan Sui, and said with a smile: "Please take a look at the prime minister." ”
Fan Sui took it, unfolded it and took a look, his eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up suddenly.
"Whew!" Fan Sui's chest rose and fell sharply, and the light in his eyes became more and more abundant, and finally it was like a bright light.
"Quick, please Daejeon Order." Suddenly, Fan Sui yelled.
Daejeon, the modern equivalent of the "Minister of Agriculture", is in charge of agricultural production. At that time, its importance far exceeded that of modern agriculture ministers, because the Qin State pursued the national policy of "self-cultivation and warfare", and agriculture was of incomparable importance.
Of course, Datian Ling is also an "expert" in agricultural production, and he has profound attainments in this area, and Fan Sui would not have been able to invite him to come.
Fan Sui's eyes were sunk on the parchment, and he couldn't pull it out anymore, so he stared at the parchment with a pair of round eyes.
"It's all obsolete, who's using this thing in modern society?" Qin Yiren couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Fan Sui's appearance in his eyes.
Qin Yiren painted a plow, a plough used in modern society. Modern society is vigorously promoting mechanization, and few people are using plows anymore. However, the plough is still seen from time to time, and Qin Yiren drew it based on his own memory.
This plough has a name, called "Quyuan plow", since the invention of the Tang Dynasty, there have been no major changes, only some small improvements. The reason why this is so is because the plow is very easy to use and saves trouble and effort.
Soon, Datian Ling arrived, Fan Sui handed him the parchment and looked at it, Datian Ling's eyes sank into it again, and he couldn't pull it out again.
"Good! Good! That's great! After a long time, Daejeon Ling applauded loudly.
Qin Yiren had a smile on his face and shook his head slowly, secretly thinking that he would definitely praise him again. However, what was surprising was that Datian Ling didn't say a word, clutched the parchment, turned around and ran away, as fast as the trend.
"This is ......" Qin Yiren's imaginary praise did not happen, it was a big accident.
"I'm going to call for someone to make a plow." Daejeon's voice came from afar, and the people had gone far away.
With Datian Ling's eyes, of course, he could see the benefits of this kind of curved plow, and he couldn't wait to make it right away and try it.
"Childe, in addition to the matter of running a school, I have to add something to you to assist Datian Ling in improving farm tools." Fan Sui said with a smile: "Although this farm tool has not been made and has not been tried, it can be seen from the eyes of me and Datian Ling that this plow is extraordinary, extraordinary." ”
What about Nima, the eliminated products are actually extraordinary, is there any reason for this?

Xinzheng, the capital of Korea, the royal palace of Korea.
"The Tiger Wolf Qin people are going to go east in a big way in the coming year, how can this be good? How is it good? King Han Huanhui had a look of horror on his face, and shouted at the ministers.
The ministers of the "......" were silent, and no one spoke.
Korea is in the way of Qin's eastward advance, and Qin must first destroy Korea, and no one can solve this difficulty.

Daliang, the capital of Wei, the palace of the king of Wei.
"Damn Wei Wuji, you fool who killed a thousand knives, you actually buried the 200,000 army of the widows, the Qin State will fight in the coming year, what will the widows do?" King Wei Anjiao's face was distorted, and he roared into the sky, roaring loudly.
However, the ministers were silent, and they did not dare to come out.
The Qin State has always wanted to destroy Wei, and the 200,000 troops of the Wei State have been lost, what can the Wei State use to resist?
Who can not be surprised? Who can not be afraid? (To be continued.) )
