After specific deliberations by the secretaries, the proposal of Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Wugong, to open an industrial and agricultural department was officially implemented.

Originally, the Qin State School, which cultivated grammar officials, was run by the Tingwei Mansion.

The departments of industry and agriculture also have their own government offices for specific responsibilities.

Shaofu is in charge of hundreds of work, so the opening of engineering is presided over by Shaofu Zhao Tuo.

Among them, the engineering textbooks and the formulation of various details were all handled by Zhao Tuo himself, and everything was according to his wishes.

Agronomy is different.

Although this matter was proposed by Zhao Tuo, the specific implementation was under the control of Wang Wu of Su Neishi.

Zhisu Neishi, that is, the great farmer of the Han Dynasty, knew by hearing the name that it was the highest official in charge of agriculture, so Zhao Tuo should not have interfered in the matter of agriculture.

But in fact, it didn't take long for Wang Wu to personally visit Zhao Tuo's mansion and ask him about the establishment of agriculture.

"Wang Jun can refer to the regulations of our engineering school, and the specific implementation will be decided according to the situation of the farmers."

Zhao Tuo directly gave Wang Wu a draft of the engineering system, and showed him the first draft of the physics textbook.

"Junhou even came up with the teaching text of engineering!"

Wang Wu was shocked.

To run a school, it is necessary to teach relevant textbooks.

For example, the literacy textbooks of the Qin State include Tingwei Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter", Shangshu Ling Zhao Gao's "Calendar Chapter" and Taishi Hu Wujing's "Erudite Chapter".

For example, the grammar room, the main content of its teaching is directly Qin law and Qin law.

The requirements for the graduation of the students of the school are to be able to recite the relevant Qin laws proficiently, pass the examiner's questions and answers, and successfully defend in order to pass the assessment and be released as grassroots officials.

Therefore, if they want to study engineering and agriculture, they have to get out the textbooks first.

Wang Wu only got the personnel organization of agriculture here, and the general structure was out, and as for the textbooks, they were still selected from various agricultural books. Who knew that the martial arts marquis of the people had directly made the first draft, and the speed was so fast.

Especially when Wang Wu roughly flipped through the content of the textbook, he was immediately shocked by the set of mechanics and acoustic systems.

He muttered, "This Physics is so extensive. ”

Zhao Tuo explained: "Most of the things in this book were copied by me from the fragments of the Gongyi and the Mo family's "Book of Ink", and then with the help of erudite professionals such as Zhuxia Shi and Mozhi, so I could quickly sort it out. ”

"Public Fragment...... Good stuff! ”

Wang Wu licked his lips and looked at Zhao Tuo with some longing: "Junhou, you said before that you had contact with the people of the peasant family, so you have the method of making fertilizer and quyuan plough and other utensils that are conducive to agriculture. Now that the prince is suggesting agriculture, I don't know if there is a way to teach me? ”

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

This old king actually fought this idea.

However, Zhao Tuo didn't hide his selfishness, and really gave Wang Wu some advice.

The specific content of the agronomy textbook.

Zhao Tuo suggested that Wang Wu could choose practical and effective methods from the ancient agricultural books on the one hand. On the other hand, it can allow agricultural officials from all over the country to dedicate practical skills in agricultural cultivation.

At the same time, a small group of people can be organized to study the principles of various agricultural technologies.

Just like acoustics and optics in physics, as long as you understand the principles of agricultural technology thoroughly, you can improve and create from them.

Wang Wu, who listened to the words, nodded again and again.

In the end, Zhao Tuo also gave Wang Wu some "some ideas that I heard from the farmer when I was a child." ”

The first is cross-breeding.

In the same way that mules are crossed between a female donkey and a stallion, cross-breeding crops can be attempted, resulting in much higher yields.

Zhao Tuo doesn't understand the specific operation of this thing very well.

But he had heard of the famous hybrid rice in his previous life, and knew that this technology must be of great use. So he threw the concept to Wang Wu first, and asked him to find a professional farmer to study it slowly.

The other is grafting technology.

During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a saying of "Lian Limu".

It refers to the fact that in nature there are two branches growing next to each other, and over time they are connected together.

After the ancients discovered it, they thought that this was a great auspicious rui, which was used to describe the loyalty and eternal separation of love between men and women.

Zhao Tuo said that the farmer found the technology of grafting plants from the phenomenon of "Lianli Wood", which can improve yield, disease resistance and so on.

Wang Wu was fascinated by what he heard, and the concepts of "cross breeding" and "grafting" put forward by Wugong Hou were very powerful when he heard it.

Thinking of the martial arts Hou from the beginning, the methods thrown are of great use.

If these two technologies are realized, then Daqin's agricultural output can be greatly improved.

Isn't his royal accomplishment a great deal?

"The guidance of the prince has been written down."

Before leaving, Wang Wu bowed deeply to Zhao Tuo to express his gratitude.

"Wang Jun is polite."

Zhao Tuo sent him away with a smile.

Although Wang Wu didn't say some things explicitly, his attitude showed that he thought he had inherited a great favor from Zhao Tuo.

Debt of affection is the most difficult to repay.

In the future, where Zhao Tuo will be useful to Wang Wu, he will definitely be duty-bound.

In fact, Zhao Tuo took advantage of this matter.

The real reason why he proposed the opening of the industrial and agricultural departments was to use it as a stepping stone for the military merit system.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country.

The purpose of Qin's Shang Dynasty Reform Law was to turn Qin into a country of cultivation and warfare.

It is very clear in the Book of Shang Jun: "The reason why the country is prosperous." Agricultural warfare also. ”

Everything in the country is based on agricultural warfare, and as long as it is conducive to agricultural production, any other industry can be moved backwards.

Even to some extent, the Legalists also served the peasants and wars of the Qin State.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo used agriculture and labor as a cover, and really suppressed all the opposition as he wished.

From the emperor to the ministers, no one would stop a proposal in favor of agriculture.

As for the hundred workers, although the status was not high.

However, in recent years, under the influence of Zhao Tuo's bunch of cross-era creations, it has been highly valued by the emperor and the ministers, and it is reasonable to raise it to the status of agriculture.

As a pioneer in Zhao Tuo's big plan, as long as this first batch of engineering and agriculture is done well, it will be effective. Then he can take advantage of the situation to propose to open more classrooms.

For example, medicine, such as military schools, such as ......

Wait until all kinds of classrooms are made out by Zhao Tuo.

As long as the disciples of the school can serve as officials in relevant specialties as long as they pass the assessment, then the value of military merit will be greatly reduced, and the country's willingness to wage war will also be reduced.

This is a very gentle means to put the brakes on the chariot of the Qin State.

Therefore, Wang Wu's agricultural achievements are very important, and Zhao Tuo is helping him, which is helping himself.

"Take your time, get a school room out in two or three years, and do everything brilliantly, so that people have nothing to say."

"I want to avoid conflicts with Li Si, he is old, there is no need to fight him in these matters, rely on gentle means to get through the past few years. When he's dead, I'll just show my skills. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth.

He wants to start the military merit system, and his biggest enemy is probably Li Si.

But Zhao Tuo felt that he didn't need to fight Li Si, so why bother.

Pinching his fingers, Li Si seems to be sixty-five this year.

He Zhao Tuo is only twenty-six years old this year.

Even if Li Si is allowed to live for another ten years, Zhao Tuo still has time to reform.

Time is Zhao Tuo's advantage, which is enough to destroy all enemies for him.

"Political fighting?"

"If you don't need it, just stay up to death. This is the real strength crushing, the right way for soldiers. ”

With the help of Zhao Tuo, with Shaofu's engineering regulations and textbooks as a reference, Wang Wu's agronomy was quickly on the right track.

The first batch of pilot projects should be carried out in Xianyang to see the results.

If all goes well, it can be rolled out to the whole country.

Just when the work and agriculture offices were in full swing in Xianyang, with the passage of time, the soldiers recruited by various counties and the grain transported were rapidly gathering on the southern border.

By September of the 31st year of Qin Shi Huang, all personnel and logistics were in place.

The battle of Qin's conquest of Baiyue officially began.
