Use your brain?

Is this a problem that can be solved with the brain?

Is it possible to use your brain to make the barren desert full of food?

To be honest, Ji Congee also wants to live in a huge city and wait for a good harvest year after year, rather than thinking about relocation every year and worrying about the sickness of cattle, sheep and livestock.

In the grasslands, large-scale diseases of livestock animals are a disaster that has to be faced.

Like the natural disasters in the Central Plains, once they occur...... It means unbearable pain.

Who wouldn't want to live in peace?

Farming is far more stable than animal husbandry.

Can these be solved with the brain?

Ji Congee didn't think so, but looking at Zhao Si's face, Ji Congee always felt that His Royal Highness Taisun must have a way to solve it.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't know where to ask.

"The Huns will get better...... Zhao Si smiled and patted Ji Congee on the shoulder.

Of course, he didn't finish his sentence.

When the day comes when the Huns get better, the Huns will completely become the pasture of Daqin.

At the end of the day, the real leaders don't care who the ruler is, they just want to live.

And the Huns who lived at the bottom...... The same is true......

"Go and inform the hundred officials, three days later, a court meeting will be held, and I will discuss the matter of sending troops to the Peacock Country!" Zhao Si patted Ji Congee on the shoulder.

Ji Congee bowed down and took the order to leave......

Three days are fleeting.

Because of the change of the examination questions of the recruitment order, public opinion was artificially directed, and the king of the giant car, the lord of the Peacock Country, had the audacity to detain the envoys of Great Qin.

Correspondingly, there has been more discussion about maritime affairs and overseas affairs.

The Yin-Yang family is also a big limelight, as the first school of Daqin to eat crabs overseas, if you talk about the most understanding of overseas, it is none other than the Yin-Yang family.

All of a sudden, it set off a discussion about overseas scenery.

So what earth is a ball...... The adventures of overseas voyages, the customs and customs of overseas countries and other new things were noisy, and the hundreds of schools of thought were forced to accept and update their knowledge systems.

And these new things became a trend all of a sudden.

Although the hundred schools of thought are in decline, they are still alive in the end, and today's Great Qin has not deposed the hundred schools, so the degree of acceptance of new knowledge and the degree of ideological activity in the academic community is quite high.

After all, in this world of great contention, backwardness will be beaten.

This can be regarded as an unexpected joy, Zhao Si himself did not expect that the sons of the hundred schools of light accepted the earth theory at the speed of light.

Even some new knowledge, such as heliocentrism, revolution, rotation, and even the current knowledge system organized and released by the Mohists, such as physics, chemistry and other knowledge, have been quickly digested and received by the hundreds of schools.

In the final analysis, it is still an era in which hundreds of schools of thought contend, not an era of one word.

With so many pairs of eyes staring, you really can't reverse black and white.

Taking a step back, doctrines are dying, and it is naturally a dead end to remain self-contained.

As we all know, the period of fierce competition in the capital market is when leeks can gather wool, and when the competition ends to form a monopoly, then leeks have no choice.

In fact, the same is true when it comes to academic thought.

All the sons of the hundred schools are alive, and their receptivity and ideological activity are at the highest point in history.

When the abolition of a hundred schools of thought is monopolized, and academic thought becomes a definitive theory and forms a monopoly, the so-called right and wrong black and white no longer matter.

At this time, thinking is no longer for the sake of seeking truth and reason, but has become a tool for political struggle.

Not to mention, these public opinions are fueled by Zhao Si.

The psychology of the hundred schools of thought is like a mirror, the Mo family, the Yin and Yang family, and the peasant family have all really benefited.

Five Grain Garden, Animal Garden, Craftsman Bureau, Aviation Trade Military Government......

With these four institutions present, it means that the Mo family, the Yin and Yang family, and the peasant family have obtained a resurrection armor and a base area.

Who wouldn't want to be invincible?

What smart person can't see Zhao Si's admiration for these new ideas and theoretical knowledge?

On the one hand, it is for change, and on the other hand, it is also for upward and downward effects.

But it is true that it has also promoted the update and iteration of the academic theories of the hundreds of schools.

The empirical evidence is all on the face, and we can't continue to say that there is only a small Kyushu in the world......

We can't just bite the bullet to worship the round sky......

You can see the potholes on the moon clearly, and you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open.

The academic struggle in this period is very fierce, and if you don't update your knowledge system, then others will be staring at your loopholes and chasing after you.

As a result, after the release of "Science and Nature" for a long time, it ushered in another popularity.

"This is the reason why I want to keep the hundred schools of thought no matter what......" Zhao Si, as the initiator, expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Surrounded by strong enemies, you will not be complacent.

Only when there is competition can there be progress......

The deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism did greatly strengthen the authority of the monarch in the short term and make it more convenient for the king's rule.

But correspondingly, it also restricts the activity of the mind.

In short, a hundred schools of thought contend, the operation requirements for the king are relatively high, and the advantage is that the upper limit is higher, the speed of thinking is faster, and it is easier to adapt to the development of the trend of the times.

And one is the only one, which is a fool-like portable operation......

As for the hidden dangers, in fact, the two models are about the same, and even the hidden dangers of a hundred schools of thought are even greater.

From the point of view of a family with one surname, from the perspective of a king, it is better for a family to be alone.

From the perspective of the country and even the nation, it is better for a hundred schools of thought to contend.

"If it was replaced by a monopoly family, these new ideas were accepted, even if the king took the initiative to promote, I don't know how much effort and effort it would take, but now, it is a hundred schools of thought that take the initiative to change." Zhao Si smiled and tidied up his clothes under the service of the palace people.

The liturgy sounded......

Hundreds of officials are in ......

Zhao Si stepped into the main hall under the service of the palace people, and after sitting down, the crown moved lightly.

In the end, he hasn't experienced too many big scenes, walking, sitting and lying, Zhao Si is still not as calm as the first emperor.

The monarch settled, the ceremonial music sounded, and the officials bowed in unison.

"Zhuqing, please get up ......" Zhao Si shook his arms, and Zhuqing stood still.

"Previously, Lone sent an envoy to the Peacock Country, in order to sign an alliance, exchange with each other, open trade, and do things of mutual benefit, but the king of the giant car detained my Great Qin envoy without authorization.

What to do? Is it war or peace? Whatever you have to say, you can admonish. ”

Zhao Si spoke in a deep voice......

Because of the fermentation of public opinion during this period of time, and the fact that the Great Dynasty will be notified three days in advance, although the Peacock Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Great Qin, the ministers who have done their homework in advance are naturally not strangers.

"Yuer Xiaobang, who does not know the power of heaven, does not understand etiquette, is arrogant and unreasonable, and dares to detain the envoy of my Qin State, and his crime should be punished.

As soon as Zhao Si finished speaking, Dr. Yi had already spoken with a loud voice.

Zhao Si took a closer look, and it turned out to be his uncle and grandson...... I couldn't help but laugh.

is worthy of being a person of change, Zhao Si has arranged to support the audience before speaking, and Shusun Tong has already supported the scene in advance.

"Good! However, you are wrong in one sentence, the territory of the Peacock Kingdom is no less vast than that of Great Qin, and the population is even denser, but it is not a small state. Zhao Si smiled and spoke.

The country of Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, is also ......

Literally......

Most of the people of this country are not afraid of war and even desire it.

Even strictly speaking, there are a group of people in the Qin State who hope that the Qin State will always be in the quagmire of war.

The consumption of grain and grass, the burden of conscription, and the hardships of the people's livelihood are not in the scope of their consideration for the military nobles.

They only hope that there will be endless battles and endless military exploits.

It is also worth mentioning that these war maniacs only exist in the middle and lower ranks of the military aristocracy.

As for the military nobles at the top, they actually didn't want Great Qin to fall into the quagmire of war.

As for the broader group of people at the bottom, they naturally do not want this.

In fact, all along, this group of people has been within the scope of the First Emperor's active suppression.

Zhao Si only showed a little sign of fueling their arrogance, Shusun Tong just started up, and Li Si just made a scene......

The atmosphere was a little uncontrollable for a while......

It's an exaggeration to say that everyone is going to war, but at least a third of it.

In fact, the political discourse power of these war madmen was not as high as imagined, and the political discourse power in peacetime was still concentrated in the hands of the Guannai legal officials dominated by Li Si.

They have one advantage, though...... Regardless of whether they have the right to speak or not, you let them call them real, let them bite and they really bite, and let them use knives on the battlefield and they are really dead.

Of course, whether you can win or not is another story...... But something is true.

Zhao Si didn't intend to indulge this group, but it was not impossible to borrow them to help him bark wildly if necessary.

But some are in favor and some are against......

After all, the Peacock Kingdom is not inferior to Great Qin in terms of territory and population, so there are people who oppose it.

In fact, seriously speaking, those who can still speak up against sending troops at this time are the ones who can take into account the overall situation.

However, their judgment is based on the fact that establishing trade with the Peacock Kingdom is dispensable, and that the Giant Car King is a communicative existence.

In fact, the trade market of the Peacock Country, Daqin, cannot be abandoned, and in this era, except for the Peacock Country, the whole world may not find a vast market with such rich productivity and consumption potential.

To put it mildly, the Peacock Country market cannot be reached, and the progress of Daqin's opening of the sea may be delayed for more than ten years or even decades.

Secondly, it is difficult for the king of giant cars to communicate normally......

It's just that these things are difficult to explain, and sending troops is imminent...... This place is already far away from overseas, and if there are a few more inkblots, I am afraid that the time to send troops will have to wait until later.

By then, I'm afraid that the corpse of the Qin envoy will already stink......

Fortunately, because of the national situation, there are not too many opposing voices.

In addition, public opinion has been fermenting for many days, so the resistance to the mobilization of troops is not too great.

The main thing is that Daqin's sea ships are big and fast enough, and the navigation technology is developed enough, and the Peacock State can not catch up, as long as it does not drive straight in, Daqin will occupy the strategic initiative, even if the combat situation is not smooth, it will not have much impact on Daqin.

The most important point is that even if it loses, the Peacock Kingdom is powerless to threaten the Great Qin mainland.

Therefore...... After some heated discussion and analysis of the battle situation, Zhao Si chose to make the final decision.

"Determination has been made, the commander will attack the country, and the army will be blamed on the king of the giant car!"

"Rest assured...... No additional ...... will be levied"

Zhao Si is not the first emperor in the end, and the decision to launch a war still has to coax the ministers a little after all.

After making another pledge that there would be no additional levy, the resolution to wage war against the Mauryan State was officially passed.

"This matter is discussed, the lone will measure the national strength and raise troops, will not levy to make the people's livelihood difficult, and will not increase the military and transfer strong men......" Zhao Si waved his hand and suppressed the last opposition.

It is not enough to levy more, because of the high grain yield, and Daqin's grain reserves are also sufficient.

As for launching military service, it is even more impossible...... The navy is not as good as the army, and it doesn't mean that you can get on top of it by drawing strong men temporarily.

At most, it is just to launch a conscription to help transport grain and grass, and it is limited to the territory of Daqin, and when you leave Daqin, you have to transport it by sea.

To put it bluntly, with the development of the times, the degree of specialization of warfare will only increase......

Zhao Si has long been thinking about promoting the transformation of Daqin from the conscription system to the conscription system, but the military reform involves a lot, not a day's work, and the current Daqin is not suitable for excessive relaxation all at once, and now the world is still in a period of high-pressure centralized management, taking advantage of the fact that the people are not living a good life now, they can concentrate on doing big things and update the infrastructure.

Well...... For the time being, if you suffer the people again, you can just call your own father to carry it.

When the people really live a good life, it is not so simple to concentrate on doing big things like this.

When people live better, they want more than just a simple life.

"Spread the will of Gu, make the Marquis of Huaili a general, and Wang Li thought that he was the overseer, and gathered the sea and sea ships under the jurisdiction of the Navigation and Trade Military Government, all from the Peacock Country. The matter was dismissed...... It is not easy to convene the court meeting, and at this time, there is one thing alone, please think that you will discuss it. After Zhao Si announced the personnel appointment, he mentioned the second thing.

Again, it is an important part of the plan.

"At present, Longxi is newly expanded, Lingnan is initially determined, the world is Xin'an, the grain output is quite abundant in all places, everyone no longer has the worry of starvation and starvation, and there are many people who are not afraid of not being able to afford to feed, and the household registration is lonely, but the number of households is not enough to fill the place, and all places need to be filled with population, and Zhu Qing has any good way to say it, mention it......" Zhao Si initiated a slightly Versailles speech.

Ji porridge smelled quite sad......

What words! What a word!

The food is not enough, and more than 4 million households are not enough!

This is a trouble that the Huns never dreamed of......

More than 4 million households! Twenty million people!

When the ministers heard this, they offered suggestions and suggestions......

It has been proposed to encourage childbearing, to enact a law to stipulate the age at which marriage must be made, to punish single men and women who have not completed marriage at the age limit, or to suggest that the government should take the initiative to intervene in the matter of marriage.

To put it simply, if you don't get married, Daqin will take the initiative to send you a husband and a wife......

It was also suggested that people should be relocated from densely populated areas to Lingnan and the newly expanded areas of Longxi......

It has also been suggested that population growth should be included in the performance appraisal of officials, which would affect the promotion prospects of local officials......

Involving state affairs...... There are still a lot of talents.

But it is clear that these are not what Zhao Si wants.

"Hmm...... Not bad, but the results are too slow......"

"In the long run, it is true that we must continue to encourage childbearing."

"It's not impossible for the government to intervene in marriage and make laws, but corporal punishment is enough...... Punish...... The penalty is not good, and the unmarried of the appropriate age can consider raising the tax.

The purpose of raising taxes is to urge them to get married and have children as soon as possible, not to force their families to ruin. ”

"Encourage childbearing...... Single tax, population control, Zhu Qing's suggestions are all good......" Zhao Si had a smile on his face.

"It's just that if you want to be effective, it's not a one-time effort, and you don't want the people to be displaced, and the population can't move until the end......

Don't you have a way to get immediate results? ”

"Your Highness, this person still needs to be pregnant for ten months from pregnancy to childbirth, and it will take at least ten years from a baby to adulthood, and there are not enough people, this is no way, who can conjure people out of thin air?"

Zhao Si nodded thoughtfully, and his gaze fell on Li Si imperceptibly.

You can't change people, right, and it's time for Lee Xiang to appear next.
