Chapter 583: The First Emperor wants to tour the east
Chapter 583
Qin Xi was dressed in a prince's suit, carrying a package in his hand, and strode into Xianyang Palace.
The autumn breeze blowing in the face gives people an extremely comfortable feeling, and even if they are wearing a thick prince's suit, they will not feel hot.
Before Qin Xi came to the main hall, all the eunuchs retreated and let Qin Xi in at the same time.
So Qin Xi walked in with the package, and when he entered, he saw that the First Emperor was sitting there reviewing Zhou Zhang.
"Daddy, I'm back." Qin Xi said with a smile.
"You still have the face to come back, how many troubles have you left behind in the past two years, do you still know your identity?" The First Emperor raised his head and said.
"My son knows." Qin Xi nodded and said.
"Whew!"
The First Emperor threw the brush at Qin Xi, but Qin Xi dodged it sideways.
"You still know that you are the crown prince! Aren't you afraid to hand over the crown prince to your eldest brother for your father? The First Emperor snorted coldly.
Qin Xi smiled: "Dad, don't be angry, aren't I coming back?" Rest assured, there won't be any more. ”
"That's it, I see that you haven't gained nothing this time, at least the realm has improved, forget it, but there is no next time." The First Emperor said.
"Yes, Daddy." Qin Xi arched his hand.
The First Emperor looked at the package under Qin Xi's hands and feet, and thought that Qin Xi wanted to honor himself, so he asked, "What is this?" ”
Qin Xi picked up the package and said, "This is the ore that can change the entire Great Qin, and I have been looking for this ore for almost all the past two years." ”
The First Emperor beckoned and said, "Come here, show your father." ”
Qin Xi sat next to the First Emperor, and after opening the package, only
And he saw that there was a piece of metal in the glass box, like iron.
The First Emperor looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything, and finally said, "Isn't this just an ordinary piece of iron?" ”
"It's different, it's not iron, I named it tungsten, it's much rarer than iron." Qin Xi put away this piece of tungsten.
Qin Xi continued: "I have discovered a total of three tungsten mines, this is an extremely important mine, it must be in the hands of my Great Qin, and private mining must not be allowed. ”
"Before I came back, I had already given an order to the local officials, but I still hope that you can send an edict to you, Daddy,"
The First Emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "You can write this edict yourself, and the jade seal is there, use it yourself." ”
Qin Xi didn't move immediately, but continued to sit and said, "When I came back, I saw that the railway was about to be laid in Luoyang. Dad, it seems that the two years since I left have not had much impact. ”
The First Emperor picked up a letter and said, "I've been tired of being a father for so many years, and I want to learn from you to go out quietly." ”
"I was planning to tour the east as my father before, but I was dissuaded by you, and now that my Great Qin treasury is abundant, you shouldn't object."
Qin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Eh, naturally I won't oppose you anymore." Wait, it's not like I'm coming to prison for the country. ”
"As the crown prince, who else can oversee the country besides you?" The First Emperor gave Qin Xi a blank look.
"Okay." Qin Xi said helplessly: "This is a good opportunity to practice. ”
"It's good to know." The First Emperor said: "On this eastern tour, my father will take a train to Luoyang, then go to Dongjun, then go south to Jiangnan, and finally return to Xianyang. ”
Qin Xi nodded and said, "It seems that Dad, you are planning to go and see my four major business circles in Great Qin." ”
"Except for Xianyang, these four places have the most taxes, so my father naturally wants to go and see them," the First Emperor nodded and said.
The First Emperor suddenly asked the eunuch to put a bunch of pieces in front of Qin Xi, and said, "You can deal with these pieces, when you will finish processing, and when will you go back." ”
Qin Xi reluctantly picked up a note, which turned out to be about the Northeast region.
Farmers have cleared the land in the northeast and planted the first batch of rice.
Although it can only be planted once a year, and the current output is much less than that in Guanzhong and Jiangnan, the quality of the rice grown is far better than that of the grain in the two places.
The farmer even proposed in the recital that the rice grown in the northeast be used as the royal tribute rice.
Qin Xi knew that all this was due to the local temperature of the black soil.
Qin Xi picked up the pen and made a reply, and it was a very vernacular reply, and the first emperor was stunned.
For the situation in the northeast, the first point that Qin Xi asked was to expand the planting area.
The second point is that in addition to rice and other grains, we can try to grow other crops, including fruits, to fully exploit the value of the black soil in Northeast China.
The third point is to make every effort to protect the local black soil and prohibit the destruction of the black soil.
The fourth point is to deny the idea of using Northeast rice as the special tribute rice of the Great Qin royal family, and everyone in the world of Great Qin should be able to taste this kind of good rice, so Qin Xi intends to use it as a commodity rice.
At that time, Northeast rice will always be sold at a higher price than ordinary rice, not only the Great Qin royal family.
Qin Xi finished replying
After that, it was placed on the table, and the first emperor picked it up with his hind feet and read Qin Xi's approval.
The First Emperor was still very satisfied with Qin Xi's reply, but he still picked up the pen and made a few additions.
The First Emperor put down the song and said: "Since the cultivation of rice in the Northeast has such a great advantage, it can encourage the people to move to the king and cultivate." ”
Qin Xi said while looking at the concerto: "It should have been a long time ago, I don't know what to think, just let the peasant family go over, what can some people do." ”
"This matter is not as simple as you think, but for this matter, the court has been arguing for a few days."
Qin Xi nodded, but asked, "Dad, in the past imperial examination, I heard that there was a person named Zhang Zifang who won the first place. ”
"That's right." The First Emperor said: "Now this person is in the Ministry of Officials, do you know?" ”
"Dealt with." Qin Xi said and gave another reply to a piece of music.
This recital is about the economic development of Daqin, and it is Xiao He's recital.
Now Daqin's economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, but Xiao He found that under the rapid development, Daqin's economic development seems to have reached a bottleneck, and it has begun to decline slowly.
It is normal and inevitable that the economic growth rate will slow down.
And the problem that Xiao He sees is that there is a shortage of goods, which is a prelude to inflation!
The main reason for the current problem in Daqin is caused by the lack of productivity, not the excessive amount of money and silver in the market.
Qin Xi attached great importance to this issue, and after approving a few words, he looked at the First Emperor.
"Say it." The First Emperor was just simply
Said these two words.
Qin Xi said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, if it is not handled well, there will be a great crisis." ”
"Dad, since you want to tour the east, how about leaving this matter to me? But I need a lot of power. ”
As soon as the First Emperor stretched out his hand and grabbed it, the jade seal was in his hand, and then he pushed it in front of Qin Xi and said, "For my father's eastern tour, the jade seal will be left to you, and you can solve everything by yourself." ”
Qin Xi arched his hand and said, "I won't let you down, Daddy!" ”
