Fu Su sat down and asked, "Mr. Ji, what do you mean by this?" How did the Great Qin Imperial Family influence technological progress? ”

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu and said, "In your eyes, what kind of existence is the Great Qin Imperial Family?" ”

Fusu frowned, but he didn't dare to speak.

Ji Heng said: "The Great Qin royal family is the biggest nobleman in the world!" ”

"As a royal family, it will require a clear distinction from other nobles, and the Great Qin royal family, as the most prominent nobles in the world, should enjoy all the conveniences in the world, which naturally includes advanced technology in various places."

"In order to show their own dignity and establish their own uniqueness."

"A lot of times they use advanced technology for their own use."

"Some are active."

"And some are passive, and they are offered by local officials."

"It's just in the name of tribute and auspiciousness."

"For technology-related things, the first emperor is happy to accept, and even in order to show its uniqueness, it will be directly set up for the royal use, and that part of the craftsmen can only work for the royal family, unless it is a special reward, otherwise ordinary courtiers can not touch it at all, only when the technology is innovated, these 'outdated' existence, will be generously rewarded."

"And then layer by layer conducts it downward."

"Do you remember the last time you sent me a tribute, 'Liangpi'?"

"If you want to make cold skin, you need fine flour."

"And if you want to grind fine flour, you need to use the stone mill in front of my door, the stone mill has been in Yanzhao in the late Warring States period, but decades have passed, but it has not been popularized, and there is almost no news in Xianyang, as long as the stone mill has been used, you can basically perceive its convenience."

"Admittedly."

"Stone grinding is expensive."

"But after you gave me a cool skin, I specially asked the attendants around, they had never heard of the stone mill before, and finally I asked them to ask up, and finally got the exact news at Lang Zhongling, one of the nine Qings, and then I was able to buy it at a high price."

"The First Emperor sits on the throne."

"Enjoy all the beauty of the world."

"But in order to show their own majesty, establish their unattainable image, and show their difference from others, they strongly take all the advanced technology and scarce things in the world as their own, to a certain extent, the monopoly of the Great Qin royal family on advanced technology is no less harmful than the collusion between officials and businessmen."

"Even more than that."

"The chariot of the First Emperor's travel."

"The sophistication of casting technology is unique in the world."

"If the technology can be used to build the Great Wall, build the Lishan Mausoleum, etc., it may greatly reduce the labor of the people."

"There are all kinds of rare auspicious rui offered from all over the world, I remember the year before last, there was a place that offered a hundred ears of auspicious rui, if these ears of grain can fall into the hands of farmers, it may not be impossible to cultivate high-yield rice."

"All of this ended up in the royal treasury."

"Almost half of the world's advanced technology will be given priority to the upper class to enjoy."

"There is an obvious gap between the government and the bottom."

"Although these technologies and items are found at the bottom, most of them will eventually fall into the hands of officials, and once these things fall into the hands of officials, except for a small number of them will soon return to the bottom, most of them will only flow among officials, and only when officials find new things, these things will return to the bottom."

"Come and go."

"I don't know how much time will be wasted."

"You think the handicraft system is too old, but that's not necessarily the upside down."

"The Emperor has a unique privilege."

"Isn't the Minister entitled to some special privileges that are rare in the outside world?"

"Can't an official make something special for himself?"

"Daqin's handicrafts, smelting and other industries must have made a lot of progress in recent years, but most of them first went to meet the government, and these improved technologies can only be spread in a very small range, and then in the eyes of the outside world, Daqin's various technologies seem to have come to a standstill."

"It's not."

"It's just not noticed."

"Under the centralized power, all conveniences give priority to serving the imperial court, compared to the hundred flowers blooming during the Warring States period, now it is only for a few people."

"The system of Daqin not only has high requirements for officials, but also for the productivity of the people."

"If the court is still so greedy."

"Even if the monarch and the ministers are united and mend this mess, it will still be difficult to maintain it in the end, because the system founded by the first emperor has high requirements for all aspects of the world, and as long as there is a problem with one party, it is easy to cause the whole collapse."

"If Great Qin wants to sit firmly in the world in the future, he must make certain sacrifices."

"Give up some privileges and benefit the people."

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu meaningfully, and he poured himself a glass again.

Fusu lowered his head.

But they didn't dare to respond positively.

If Ji Heng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought of these things at all.

But after listening to what Ji Heng said, he also faintly felt that the royal family seemed to possess too many things, of course, this is not necessarily possessive, on the one hand, it does exist for personal pleasure, but on the other hand, it is actually related to the face of the regime.

Imperial power reigns supreme.

We have to open up the gap with others in all aspects.

Naturally, it has to be unique.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation should be different from those of the subjects.

In this way, the imperial atmosphere can be revealed.

And this particularity has always existed since the beginning of the history of China, not from the Xia, Shang and Zhou, let alone from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.

Great Qin only followed the predecessors.

But Ji Heng is right, after this month of patrolling, he also feels that the Great Qin system is difficult to maintain, the Great Qin system is too demanding for officials, and the demand for finance is also very high.

Just delegating something to the table will inevitably lead to a loss of majesty.

The pros and cons are hard to weigh.

He didn't dare to make judgments, let alone write to the first emperor.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng with a complicated expression, and there was a look of amazement in his eyes.

He knew that what Ji Heng said was all for the good of Daqin, but when he said it and did it, the difficulty was very different.

This is to be dealt with in the loss of imperial majesty.

Long.

Fusu arched his hand and said: "The stakes in this, Fusu dare not speak falsely, let alone judge, please forgive me." ”

Ji Heng said lightly: "It's okay. ”

"I just say what I think in my heart, whether I listen or not."

"The decision is yours."

Fusu smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.

He changed the topic and said: "At present, the collusion between officials and businessmen is serious, which has seriously affected local production, and I want to write to Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the evil and evil, what does Mr. think?" ”

Ji Heng's eyes closed slightly, and he was not in a hurry to speak.

He pondered for a while and said, "Beware of dogs jumping off the wall." ”

"This matter involves a wide range of people, not only the relevant officials, some businessmen, but also the vast majority of craftsmen."

"If the imperial court does not do a good job in the follow-up aftermath and rashly acts, at least the iron goods, there will be great chaos in a short time, and it may even lead to turmoil in Guanzhong.

"Try not to affect the livelihood of the bottom."

Fusu nodded.

He said, "What do you think the arrangement should be, sir?" ”

Ji Heng said: "I don't care how the government decides, but there can't be a problem with the supply of iron." ”

"It won't be long before it's spring ploughing."

"Once there is a problem with iron products, it will definitely affect spring ploughing, and the impact will be too great."

"Spring ploughing is related to the livelihood of millions of people in Guanzhong, and it must not be affected too much, and I personally recommend that action be taken after spring ploughing."

"During this period of time, let the officials such as 'mining mountain' right iron mining and 'left iron mining' increase the mining of ore in various subways, hoard the iron ore mined more, and not distribute it to the merchants, and wait until the court to do it in the future, if there is really a shortage of iron products in Guanzhong, and then take it out to stabilize the people's hearts."

"If there is no unrest, it will be used to mint coins."

"Also."

"Miners are strongly encouraged to improve their technology and improve production efficiency and quality."

"As long as someone makes an improvement, they will be rewarded."

"The more you improve, the more you give."

"You can reward you."

"As long as it does not affect spring ploughing and does not affect the bottom, even if the government arrests all the relevant officials and businessmen, the impact on Guanzhong will not be great, but on the craftsman's side, it needs to be screened well and the unqualified ones will be eliminated."

"This is a matter for the government, so I won't say more."

Fusu bowed slightly.

He agrees that there should be no rush.

Everything should be planned and then moved.

For the relevant officials and businessmen, Fusu didn't pay attention to it at all.

As long as it is in Guanzhong, it is too easy for the imperial court to clean up these, but it is mainly to maintain stability at the moment, so it needs to be considered more, otherwise there is no need to hesitate at all.

Then.

He also sensed Ji Heng's wisdom.

At the beginning, Ji Heng insisted on eliminating the people who were placed in the salt pond of the mine.

Right now.

If there are still businessmen in the salt pond of the mine, the government's actions will definitely fall into the eyes of the businessmen as soon as possible, and there may be some variables at that time.

At present, the imperial court only needs to secretly investigate the situation, and then it will be able to catch it all.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to completely block Shang Jia's ears and eyes, and the movement on the other side of the mine would reach Shang Jia's ears sooner or later, and he really needed to think about delaying this matter as much as possible, so as not to make Shang Jia's reaction in advance.

Fusu's brows furrowed, thinking in his heart.

Ji Heng didn't bother.

Compared with the impetuousness of the past, Fusu has grown a lot.

Ji Heng is happy to see Fusu grow.

In his position, seek his government.

Some things have to be dealt with in person.

Long.

Fusu raised his head, his expression had returned to calm, and he said apologetically: "I was a little distracted, please forgive me, sir." ”

"It doesn't matter." Ji Heng said lightly.

Fusu took a deep breath, his face sank suddenly, and said: "This time, in addition to going deep into these underworlds, I also learned about a very sensational thing. ”

"There is a lot of loss of land in Guanzhong."
