Chapter 6 There is a better way
Seeing that his father's face was changing, but Li Zhao was very aggrieved, Fusu really couldn't stand it, so he saluted and said to Yingzheng: "Father, Li Zhao has little contact with state affairs, so don't embarrass him." ”
"Don't embarrass him?" With an intriguing smile in his eyes, Ying Zheng stood up from his high position, paced slowly, came to Li Zhao's side, and looked at Li Zhao with interest.
Li Zhao was shocked in his heart, and secretly said What was Qin Shi Huang going to do? Did he say something wrong, no! He's very serious! There was absolutely no intention of offending Zulong.
However, Ying Zheng just looked at it for a while, then turned his face, smiled lightly, and said secretly: You didn't say anything wrong, and you said it right, but you shouldn't lie to me!
Didn't you say that you didn't understand anything? How can it be analyzed so thoroughly.
"Yes! It seems that he is embarrassed. ”
"Scared the baby to death." Li Zhao listened to Yingzheng's words, and the whole person was relieved, and his heart was so dangerous! Qin Shi Huang's weird smile was too scary.
Ying Zheng restrained his smile and stared at Fusu tightly, and his attitude softened a lot.
This has always been his son, and he will inherit the great unification in the future, and blindly vetoing it is not conducive to his growth.
Since he raised this question, he must have considered countermeasures!
Thinking like this, Ying Zheng asked Fusu: "Since you proposed to ban and suppress business, do you have a good plan?" ”
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Erchen has thought of countermeasures, our Great Qin suppression of merchants is nothing more than to protect the people who work day and night, so that they will not be underfed, clothed, and displaced......"
Hey!
Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this, it seems that his Fusu is not pedantic as he imagined, but still has some ideas, so I don't know what the next countermeasures will be?
"If we can get enough food, won't this problem be solved?"
Yes, Ying Zheng nodded, and Li Zhao also bowed.
Suddenly, Li Zhao had an opinion that this eldest prince was not as Confucian as recorded in the history books, and some problems could still be seen clearly.
"How do you get enough food?" Ying Zheng threw out the main question.
Fusu shrugged, as if he was confident.
"Father, the son has investigated, Daqin's grain is mainly corn, wheat, rice, etc., and corn is planted in the Guanzhong area, which is ripe in half a year, which is okay, but why can't the people be fed? The reason is that our land in Daqin is insufficient, so we can open up more wasteland, and won't the amount of food go up? ”
Ying Zheng didn't answer, and he didn't react much, and fell into deep thought.
Li Zhao pursed his lips, disapproving, and thought: This is the reason, but what is the difference between this and painting a snake, there are only 20 million people in Daqin, because of heavy agriculture, almost all the people are farming, even if there is more land, no one will farm it!
Now the problem is that the population is small, and it is not suitable to open up more wasteland, of course, if you can work the yield per mu, it may be a way.
Hey!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod when he heard Li Zhao's heart.
Yes, Daqin's population is limited, and clearing the land cannot solve the problem, which is also a problem he has been thinking about.
It's not that Daqin doesn't have a department that specializes in grain production, but since the unification, it can't solve this problem, even if it increases the output a little bit.
Fusu didn't know what his father thought, and when he saw his father nodding, he was overjoyed, and his father agreed with him.
You know, he has put forward many ideas, all of which have been reprimanded and not adopted, and today he made an exception.
Of course, his idea has been investigated in many ways, and the opinions of many great Confucians have been synthesized, and it can be said that it is a foolproof strategy, and it is reasonable for his father to agree.
So, he continued: "This is the first, and second, I heard that Nanhai County has a hot climate, and it mainly grows rice, which can be harvested twice a year. ”
"Really?" When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked. Since reunification, he has been busy with national affairs and has paid little attention to regional issues.
"Of course!"
Fusu looked very proud, "As long as we vigorously open up Nanhai County, grain production will definitely increase." ”
"When the time comes, everyone will be able to eat and clothe, and everyone will love my Great Qin, won't the rule of our Great Qin be eternal?"
"Okay, that's a good opinion." Ying Zheng's brows stretched, and he had the feeling of seeing the moon in the clouds, and immediately took the case, "Fusu, let you ...... this matter"
But just as he was about to say that he would let Fusu do it, he suddenly heard Li Zhao's voice again.
"It's true that Nanhai County has two crops a year." This geographical knowledge is almost known to modern people, "but the problem is the quantity, Fusu only thinks about the amount of planting, but does not take into account the yield per mu, what is the difference between this and in the Guanzhong area." ”
Hey! Ying Zhengzhi's brows furrowed when he heard this, it seems that there is also so much manpower in Nanhai County, and someone has to go to cultivate the wasteland! It's still a symptom rather than a cure, and I was too happy just now to think of this.
We still have to solve the problem of yield per mu!
Ying Zheng sighed.
Seeing that his father was about to agree, but the next moment he paused, Fusu was very puzzled, and asked cautiously: "Father, what do you mean?" ”
Ying Zheng straightened up and asked, "Your suggestion is good, but have you ever thought about who will plant it?" You won't say let the people plant! They themselves are also farming, with the same amount of work, do you think the yield per mu can be increased? ”
Well!
Fusu's eyes narrowed, and he panicked. Yes! Why didn't he think of this problem, under the same manpower, the yield per mu could not be raised at all, even if Nanhai County was developed, it would be in vain.
Again, this problem has reached a dead end.
"Huh! In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, doesn't Great Qin have an army of two million? Just 500,000 troops were stationed in Yuedi, and the soldiers were allowed to plough and fight, wouldn't it be okay? ”
Li Zhao was worried.
In history, Great Qin did have the theory of ploughing and warfare, but Li Zhao couldn't understand why Yingzheng and Fusu were still entangled in this issue for so long?
But I soon figured it out, maybe the farming war hasn't started yet!
Well! Ploughing war?
Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's heart, raised his eyebrows, slapped his chest suddenly, and secretly said yes, ploughing and fighting, let the soldiers cultivate and fight, both are correct.
In other words, when war breaks out, go to war, and when you stop, you farm, the best of both worlds!
This method is wonderful.
For a while, Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao twice, and saw that he was still ignorant, and the anger in his heart couldn't be beaten.
It's obviously a prime minister's advice, but he pretends not to know anything, and he pretends to be so similar.
There is no one in the world!
Hey, hey! Ying Zheng was angry and laughed.
"Of course, this is not the best strategy, and it would be better if we could improve the quality of the seeds."
Well! Isn't it the best?
Ying Zheng seems to have heard the most incredible voice, ploughing and warfare, he can predict, will definitely solve the problem of food shortage, and even make the national road prosperous.
He even said that it was not the best strategy?
Could it be?
