Chapter 388: Inheritance is very important
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "You are very reasonable, the people have no land, and they can still plant the land of the landlord's family, and pay some rent at most."
However, if there is a natural disaster that causes no harvest in the fields, the people will basically have no way to live. ”
"Nope." Qin An said, "If it is a natural disaster, the people can still sell their sons and daughters to maintain for a while, and when the wind and rain are good, the people can recover again."
As for the children, they can be reborn. It's not a thing at all. ”
"Qin An, how can you say that such a human tragedy as selling sons and daughters seems to be a very ordinary thing." Li Si said in shock.
"In ancient times, this was the usual thing." Qin An said, "My father-in-law, if you can sell your sons and daughters to make a living and let the family live, then they won't rebel."
When the time comes, then this court will be in danger.
Every child is the heart of the parents, who is willing to sell their sons and daughters, if they can, they would rather be burdened with a lot of debts than sell their sons and daughters.
If this situation really occurs, it can only show that it is the incompetence of the imperial court, the incompetence of officials, the cold state of the world, and the ruthlessness of society. ”
"If you did business in ancient times, would it cause the people not to farm?" Meng Yi asked.
"Yes and no." Qin An said, "It will lead some farmers to start business, but no, because the vast majority of farmers have self-knowledge, they will not go to business."
I still say that technology is very important, and the imperial court cannot let the person who invented technology chill, but to protect such a person and protect such a technology.
In the outside world, I invented a super engine, and the state recognized my ability to protect my technology from being used by others.
Anyone who uses it without my permission will be penalized, used once, punished once.
The punishment is not low, and it is not even something they can afford.
However, if the state or an individual wants to use it, they can buy it from me.
In this way, I can continue to research and optimize this super engine when I make money.
But in ancient times, anyone who invented something was working hard for the imperial court, for those who were powerful and powerful.
If I had invented the quyuan plough in ancient times, the government would only rob me of my credit, dedicate it to the imperial court, and erase my credit.
Or give me a few melons and two dates to send me, or the court will issue a holy decree to reward me with a plaque, what is the use of that thing, and it can't change my life, and it won't give me any motivation to continue researching.
As a result, our technology will never advance.
Two thousand years of China, why the Warring States Period. Huaxia will become the world's first power, because a hundred schools of thought are contending, and everyone is working hard to develop and learn.
Why did the world know Huaxia during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and call us Han Chinese? Because we are stronger, whether it is military, commercial, cultural or technological, it is stronger than any country in the world.
Why did Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty become the center of the world during the Tang Dynasty, and merchants from all over the world rushed to the imperial capital Chang'an, wanting to see Chang'an?
In the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Huaxia reached its peak, almost everything was the first, but after that, it declined, and finally Huaxia became the cake of the Western powers, so that Huaxia entered a dark period?
Why did the powerful Huaxia fall in the end? Because Huaxia doesn't want to forge ahead?
No.
The people of China have been trying to change themselves, wanting to make themselves rich, two thousand years, countless large and small inventions, but the imperial court does not pay attention to these talents.
As a result, many inventions disappeared.
Just like traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, from Shennong to the present, has a history of 5,000 years, but in the end it was defeated by Western medicine with a history of only a few hundred years.
Why is that?
Inheritance.
Everyone attaches great importance to inheritance, saying that it is passed on to men and not to women, and not to be passed on to outsiders, and that there is always a hand left as a master, and they are afraid that their apprentices will surpass themselves.
So it is best to pass it on, after generations of losses, to the present, Chinese medicine is in decline, and sometimes I really feel sorry for the ancestors.
And Lao Feng's problem is actually not a problem, the real problem lies in the general environment.
Let's just say that to build roads, the court has no money, so you can find businessmen. But what will you do when the road is repaired? Growing a business? Developing agriculture? ”
Feng Quji said: "Discover business. ”
Qin An nodded and said, "Finding commerce, are you sure that the county where you build roads can develop commerce?" Is there anything in that county that is worth developing? ”33
Feng Qujian thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is nothing to discover, but it is very poor, this is a new village given by the imperial court to the village head, and it is quite poor."
I remember about 150,000 people. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand. Can so many people still be called a village? Qin An was shocked.
"It's because there are so many people. Therefore, the village is very poor, and the court knows the ability of the gentleman, so it hopes that the village chief can get the help of the gentleman.
Make the village rich. Feng Quji said, with a sad look on his face.
Qin An sighed and said: "I haven't done any field investigation of this, and I don't dare to talk nonsense, I only dare to say it after actually seeing it." ”
"It's okay, just say it." Ying Zheng said, "It's already poor, will it get worse?" ”
Qin An thought for a while and said, "Yes, they are already poor like this." My approach is at least better than it is now. ”
"That's it. Xianggong, tell them what the hell is going to do? Ying Yin said.
Qin An said: "In fact, I have already said the method, attract investment, let the businessmen pay for the construction of roads, and give the right to collect fees for twenty or thirty years.
However, this road cannot be next to the official road, and the people were very poor in the beginning, and they were so poor that they only had time left.
In order to attract merchants and ordinary people, official roads could not be without.
After you have merchants, you will have to build major workshops, and I don't see that you have many workshops, so let's build all the workshops in the village in that village.
If the father-in-law is strong enough, he buys all the land in the village, and the right belongs to the father-in-law, and then rents the land to the people to farm.
Because the father-in-law represents the imperial court, that is to say, this land is rented by the imperial court to the people, and the rent can be cheaper, one-tenth is enough.
If the people don't want to farm, then the government will come forward and spend money to invite the people to farm, anyway, the land can't be empty.
The more merchants there are, the more valuable the land is, draw the commercial area, and then let the merchants bid for the land in the commercial area, and the highest price wins. ”
Some people died, but not completely......
