"Besides, you are no longer changing now, and when the new grain is planted, the eldest lord will be stable." The king left his mouth to comfort Zhao Si.

"Even if you don't have new food, you should be promoted to doctor."

Zhao Si nodded, he was not in a hurry for a while, more than a month has passed now, and the sweet potatoes and corn potatoes are still ripe.

As for the yield, don't worry, the yield of sweet potatoes is calculated in kilograms, even if you take into account the lack of artificial domestication process of sweet potatoes now, there is no chemical fertilizer, but there is no problem with five hundred kilograms.

"By the way, do you have a collection of books at home?" Zhao Si asked.

"Yes!" Wang Li nodded.

The Wang family is a family of Che Hou, and the number of books in the family is not a few, in this era, the collection of books is a valuable wealth, and the number of books is also one of the criteria for judging the strength of a family.

"Can I borrow some?" Zhao Si asked.

After reading "Xianxue" and "Five Worms", Zhao Si became more deeply aware of his lack of understanding of this era, the ideas of this era are already very advanced to a certain extent, what the ancient times lacked was only the mode of production and the means to understand the world, and Zhao Si's superiority over the ancients only lies in his vision.

If you want to truly integrate into this era, understand this era, and read books is the easiest way.

"What's so hard about that?" Wang Li waved his hand.

The wealth of the Wang family lies not only in the amount of arable land for gold and silver treasures, but also in the number of family heirlooms and the number of books in which they are rich.

Not to mention that the former royal family was full of customers, and there were not a few talented people.

It's just that after Wang Jian succeeded in defeating Chu, he had already dismissed the doormen, and now the doormen are scarce, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens, most of which are of several generations and are difficult to separate.

A top-notch family has not many things.

Zhao Si nodded, just patted Wang Li's shoulder.

In this era, borrowing books is not a simple matter, and in novels, just borrowing books for study is already worth writing about, that is, it is inherited by teachers and students, and it will not be easy to open the collection.

Otherwise, the allusion of Chengmen Lixue will not be passed down through the ages.

Thanks to Wang Li, he has no heart, the Wang family is really wealthy, Wang Li can really speak in the Wang family, and if he is a disciple of the Wang family, he is afraid that he will have to make great difficulties if he wants to transcribe and read, not to mention the decision to lend books to outsiders.

"But...... Gotta wait for me to get back. By the way, what books do you want to read? The king asked.

"Ducheng, Confucianism and Taoism, hundreds of schools, each family and its own faction, everything that exists, I want to see it." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.

He wanted to know more about the thinking of this era, the thinking of various schools of thought.

"Xianxue" and "Five Worms" opened the door to Zhao Si's sincere learning.

"There are basically some books in the family, but the rest of the families have their own factions, but it is difficult." The king departed.

"It's okay, what do you have to see." Zhao Si said with a smile.

After all, it is someone else's book collection, and what kind of bicycle do you need, but if you are willing to lend Zhao Si a book to read, Zhao Si should be grateful.

And on the other side of the palace......

The First Emperor knelt down in front of the desk and looked at the bamboo slips and fell into deep thought.

In his heart, he silently calculated several matters that Daqin was currently working on.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is in progress.

The construction of the Great Wall in Longxi is in progress.

The paving of the world's gallop road is in progress.

Baiyue is in progress.

The change of customs is in progress.

Currency unification is underway.

Afang Palace is in progress.

The construction of roads and channels in cities all over the world is underway.

There are really a lot of projects that Daqin is currently underway, and this is only a big project.

The infrastructure level of the Six Kingdoms region is not the same level as that of Daqin at all, and the average level of roads and canals in the city is not half a star worse than that of Qin.

The wealth of the six countries is mostly in the hands of the nobles.

The wealth of the Qin State was mostly used for the construction of cities, roads, and canals.

It was not without reason that Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms.

When Qin repaired Zheng Guoqu, he knew that it was a conspiracy and wanted to enter the trap, which already explained everything.

The Qin State really regarded infrastructure projects as a top priority, and of course, there was an important factor in it.

Regardless of whether there was war or not, the national conditions of the Qin State determined that the people could not be allowed to stop and recuperate.

The same is true of the First Emperor today.

The first emperor was diligent in government, but he could not say that he loved the people.

Today's Qin State has a total of nearly two million husbands in various places.

What is the concept of a country where one-tenth of the population is a conscript?

The state of Qin is currently on the verge of collapse, but the last bit of mobilization ability to squeeze the state to the limit has become the administrative philosophy of the first emperor.

As a ruler of the world, he did not treat the people as independent individuals, but as a unified resource.

How much power there is, how much to do, there is a little power not to use, that is a waste, since Shang Jun changed the law, this has basically become the consensus of the successive monarchs of the Qin State.

The administrative philosophy of the Qin State has always been like this, basically every generation of Qin monarchs is playing the policy of extreme pressure, and the First Emperor is just playing more extremely.

According to the normal situation, these huge projects have basically reached the limit of today's Great Qin, and the First Emperor is not going to waste the slightest power that can be used, and he is not rushing to destroy the country.

But nowadays, things are different.

Because of Zhao Si!

This young man who has returned from the sea without the king's orders!

New Grain! Salt drying method!

What does this mean?

Grain, salt, and both, the lifeblood of the nation.

Food has not yet been grown, and it will take a long time to popularize it, so we can leave it aside for the time being.

The salt-drying method has been verified, and when the large-scale test of the salt pans led by Meng Yi is successful, the original salt-boiling process can be destroyed in an instant, and by the way, some of the great nobles who make a living from boiling salt will launch a wave of devastating blows.

As soon as the salt drying method came out, the quality and yield of salt improved, the cost decreased, and the existing nobles in Qi basically lost their money.

The price of salt has fallen, production has increased, and the new grain has become popular, which means that there is a little more energy that can be used.

To put it bluntly, the price of salt is low, there is more grain, the bearance of the Qianshou is stronger, and the forces that can be mobilized are more.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, no matter how the Qin law was changed, its restraint and oppression of the people at the bottom are undoubted, and the difference is only in how much.

The policy of tired people and weak people is one of the basic policies of Daqin.

The promotion of Qin's military merit system is not so easy, and Qin's oppression on the bright side is much more ruthless than that of the Six Kingdoms.

It's just that the laws of the Qin State are stricter, and all systems are placed on the surface.

The squeezing of the Qin State is not without a bottom line, and the most extreme state will also leave a trace of breathing space and an upward channel.

The First Emperor also knew very well that this breathing space and this small upward channel were unshakable, unshakable, unsqueezed, and unshakable.

However, what is now on the bright side is that the available resources of Daqin will inevitably increase with the popularization of new grain and the popularization of the salt drying method.

So, what kind of project will not waste this extra power?
