People's hearts are changeable, and it is difficult to look back, the past is like smoke, and it lives up to the youth.

Emperor Xin gradually became silent, and when there was usually an unprovoked quarrel in the royal court, he would show anger on his face, and then reprimand and stop the ministers from attacking each other.

But now, when the ministers quarreled until the end they found that there was nothing to say, they found that the king was wandering outside the world, and they didn't listen to what they were discussing at all, but just looked at the blue sky outside the door and fell into deep thought.

"King! King!! ”

You Hun reminded the king softly that this was the royal court, and what was being debated now was a smelting process offered by Meng Bo, called Sanhe soil, which was made of shells or limestone and mixed with clay and fine gravel, which could be used in the most primitive version of "cement" for buildings.

Di Xin came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Zichen and Xin Jia, who were arguing endlessly in the audience, and suddenly came back to his senses.

"Both ministers are the ministers of my great merchants, so who wins the debate?"

“……”

Xin Jia immediately took the lead in responding: "King, this method can save the energy of carrying and cutting boulders, and there is no need to use more labor and expenses. ”

"What is the difference between this method and the original rammed earth stone?"

"Save time and effort, as for whether it is load-bearing and durable, the minister does not dare to say anything, you can use Lutai as the base to observe the after-effects."

"Yes, let's do it."

"No!"

Di Xin's calm and rationality made the ministers very uncomfortable, and they always felt that under the calm sea was a surging torrent, afraid that Di Xin would suppress himself too much, and finally irreversible bad things would come.

So You Cang came out of the queue and bowed to Di Xin respectfully: "Great King, the merchant who came from Xiqi heard a rumor that Bo Yi Kao, the son of Xibo Hou Jichang, secretly hid the daughter of Su Hu, and it is said that he will be accepted as a concubine. ”

"King, Su Hu is a traitor, Xiqi's move is ......"

This incident aroused Di Xin's interest, and he interrupted You Cang with great interest.

"Is this a reason for war? The widow can raise a large army and send troops to the Western Zhou, and ask the child why he rebelled against my big business! ”

You Cang's face froze, and he hurriedly stopped the idea that the king wanted to drive the expedition again, and said: "No, the king, if a woman sends troops with this, I am afraid that she will be ridiculed by the world." ”

"But the majesty of the great merchant is inviolable, and the minister heard that this Su Daji is so beautiful that it is unbelievable, according to rumors, the birds in the sky will fall down to admire this woman when they see it, and the fish in the water will forget to swim and sink to the bottom of the water."

"Why didn't the king give an order, let Xiqi offer Su Daji, one is to test Boyi's loyalty, and the second is to let all the beauties in the world belong to the king, the king currently has only one Yang Concubine to serve, it is too unbeautiful, and the court should be expanded."

Everyone was silent, Wen Zhong also nodded in approval, only two princes in the royal family are still too rare, the king is in the prime of life, and the delicate Concubine Yang is afraid that it will be difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the heir.

"How can the daughter of a criminal enter the royal court? The king intends to support the northern frontier, if Su Daji enters the palace, how to deal with Su Hu, who has caused the lives of the Chongguo in the northern frontier to be devastated? Is it a grievance? I just appeased Dong Bohou some time ago, and now I want to make Bei Bohou resentful? ”

Rong Yin's doctor Yang Ren, the minister whose body was gouged out and abandoned because of his opposition to the construction of Lutai, did not oppose Lutai at the moment, but he was as loyal and straightforward as Mei Bo in the matter of Su Daji's entry into the palace.

Di Xin seemed to recall the white-headed and exhausted Chonghou Hu in Jizhou City, and his eyes began to gradually empty again, and it took a while before he retracted his faint reply.

"Yang Ren is right, he took Su Daji's head with Boyi for the exam, and personally entered the court to invite the guilty to meet!"

You Cang was a little irritable, the benefits were all received, but two things in a row couldn't be done, he was a little anxious at the moment, and when he was about to say more, he saw You Hun keep glancing, so he pressed the anxiety in his heart, avoided it, and retreated.

Wen Zhong bowed his head, looked at Di Xin on the throne with a smile, and his expression was pleased, this is the true master of the big business, in his position, he has to seek his own affairs, as a king, he should consider the community, and the private feelings of his children can be understood, after all, the beautiful love between Wu Ding and the woman has only passed a hundred years, and love is a sacred and great thing.

It's just that for a qualified king, he always has to put state affairs first, even if he is a martial artist, he still works hard to govern the big business after the death of the woman.

Di Xin glanced at You Hun vaguely, and You Hun immediately stepped forward to answer.

"King Qiqi, yesterday's great witch festival divination, the northern army is prosperous, I am afraid that there will be a military disaster coming, although the dog Rong is in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but there are still Di Fang, Hun Rong, earthwork and other barbarians in the north of Liaodong, please prepare for the king early."

The ministers talked a lot, although the great witch sacrifice does not often speak, but it represents the divine right, can not be despised again, plus the divination of the saying, the mystery and the mystery, if there is nothing to do, it is fine, if there is something, who opposes who dies.

"Alas, it's not easy for Chonghou, it's not easy for Northern Xinjiang, who is willing to help Northern Xinjiang fight against the Rong people?"

"The king, Meng Bo is a famous general in the world, and he is the prince of Northern Xinjiang, Meng Bo goes, it is reasonable, I hope the king will be clear."

What You Hun said is very reasonable, it seems that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there is really no one who is more suitable to support the northern Xinjiang than Meng Wei.

Wen Zhong's heart sank, and his majestic eyes looked at You Hun with a cold heart, Meng Wei was a talent he recommended, and now he and Bigan implemented the agricultural mulberry reform, changed taxes and pioneered, and heard that the current is still improving the method of fertilization and irrigation, breeding good seeds, and working hard for the world's agricultural affairs.

If you go outside the city at this moment, the continuous green rice seeds and wheat seedlings are spectacular, even Wen Zhong, who doesn't know much about agriculture and mulberry, can feel that this year is a bumper harvest. It is impossible for the ministers not to know that half of the people who seconded the proposal at this time really felt that it was appropriate, and the other half, similar to Fei You, wanted to pick peaches temporarily.

"The green seedlings will be yellow, the matter of farming is beneficial in the future, and it cannot be easily replaced, and the matter of breeding good seeds can not be completed overnight.

You Hun didn't back down, and immediately asked: "Now that the general says that he can't get sick, General Lu is still in Jizhou, and Xuan Gong and Deng Jiugong have returned to Sanshan Pass, can the Taishi have someone to recommend?" ”

"There are a lot of good generals in the court, but there are not many handsome talents, if you want to echo with Chonghou, I'm afraid there is no suitable person in the court."

Di Xin looked at Wen Taishi with interest, as if he wanted to wait for him to reply, and Wen Zhong also calmed down and quietly thought about the gains and losses, the king seems to have improved a lot, it should be fine, and after the autumn harvest, the prime minister and Shang Rong will also complete the autumn harvest and supervise the grain, and it will not be a problem to sit in the court.

Wen Zhong was worried about Meng Wei in his heart, this is an existence that can turn into a dragon when it is released into the sea, and now it is rare to do his best for the big business, in the future, such a talent is worth cultivating in the big business.

"Chen Wenzhong asked for his life, asked for 100,000 soldiers, and galloped to the aid of northern Xinjiang."

Di Xin happily stroked his hands and laughed: "Very good, very good." With the teacher personally leading the way, this matter is worry-free. ”

When the ministers dispersed, Di Xin drove out of the city, hoping to see what good land could be planted by the famous generals who were devoted to farming. When he was halfway there, Fei Zhong left the car and went straight to Chaotian Daying, ten miles east of the city.

And Di Xin patted You Hun on the shoulder with great interest: "You Qing is worthy of being the widow's confidant, the widow is very comforted, if the matter of the widow's conquest of Dongyi can be decided, you and Fei Qing should be the next doctor." ”

You Hun said yes happily, but there was still a trace of anxiety between his eyebrows.

When I returned home today, I was afraid that I would be beaten and insulted again, You Cang's matter was not completed, and his own plan to let Meng Wei return to northern Xinjiang was also disrupted by the Taishi, why could the matter of Nongsang allow Meng Wei to get the appreciation of the Taishi and the Prime Minister, these two important ministers? Can you also grow allies if you farm the land? You Hun felt that the beating was a small matter, and Meng Yu's new book on the art of war had a saying, knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, it seemed that it was time to understand what Meng Wei had planted that could allow him to get so much support.

However, the king's performance today is expected but unexpected, the king who wants to be a general is not a good king, Di Xin's thoughts, he and Fei Zhong know everything about it, but why is he sure that when the Taishi goes to northern Xinjiang, he will definitely have the opportunity to conquer Dongyi? Could it be that the prime minister won't stop him this time?

Many strange things happened frequently, and You Hun remembered that some night ago, the good brother who was still dealing with affairs late at night seemed to understand that this was most likely caused by Meng Wei's action. Otherwise, he doesn't have to farm at night, what is he doing when he fights at night?

Thinking about his thoughts, You Hun followed Di Xin's car all the way, and when he went out to a mile outside the city, he could already see that the seedlings were two feet high, and a large area of lush farmland covered the entire land, as far as the eye could see.

You Hun was stunned, he had not been out of the city for a long time, and the usual farmland on the outskirts of the city was only sparsely populated with some seedlings of different lengths, but now it seems that the wasteland has become a green space, and countless farmers are singing the song of the agricultural time, happily carrying a cart of smelly sludge to irrigate the rice seedlings and wheat seeds. On the side of the road, there are bachelors recruited on the golden platform in the past, who are holding strange-looking calipers at this time, measuring and depicting the size of the fields for the old farmers.

didn't have time to think about it and look more, You Hun, who was shocked and inexplicable, followed Di Xin out of the car and walked to the depths of the field.

"Lord, the front is filthy and filthy, don't go any further, it will stain your shoes and robes."

"On the one hand, the widowed prime minister and the princes are working in the fields, filthy? This is auspicious, but I can bless the great business for thousands of generations, immortal. ”

Seeing Di Xin strolling on the ridge, You Hun followed closely behind, and the other attendants had no choice but to grit their teeth, pinch their noses and walk forward with Di Xin.

"Taste, what is breeding?"

Before he got closer, he heard the voice of the prime minister, You Hun subconsciously looked over, only to see the noble prime minister of Dashang, covered with mud spots, and he did not dislike Meng Wei at all to bend over in a strange field with uneven growth, observing the seedlings.

"Old Prime Minister, let me ask you, if you have a daughter and two husbands to choose from, one is strong, as good as an ox, and talented and intelligent, and the other is pale and frail like a sick ghost, who will be elected by the prime minister?"

Bigan pondered for a moment and responded: "I understand what you mean, the idea of choosing a good variety and combining two rice seeds to breed a new variety is very subtle, but I have another question, this rice seed is a plant, can plants also mate?" Do you want to turn them into valley demons? And then let them mate? ”

Meng Wei was speechless, and looked at the old prime minister with a resentful face, but this suggestion seems to be very good, there are demons in this world, if you can really ignite the valley demon, isn't it faster than being so clumsy and spending a few years selecting and breeding?

You must know that the peasant saints of later generations, on the basis of the creation of heaven and the agriculture pioneered by countless generations of ancestors, also spent ten years of tireless cultivation to breed the king of rice.

Rice and wheat that can become demons, aren't they inherently powerful? Let them combine to give birth to a rice demon and a wheat demon, and the ears and grains must not be bigger, fuller, and more? One plant is ten, and the dream of enjoying the cool of the world can come true.

Just as the old man and the young were thinking about each other, they suddenly heard a coughing sound, and the two turned around, just in time to see Di Xin stepping on the mud and coming to the field.

"Minister, Bigan/Meng Wei, see the king!"

"No need to be polite, Prime Minister, a few days ago you told the widow that the conquest of Dongyi is about to be completed, and you are referring to this wheat field?"

"Not only this wheat field, this year's new fields have increased tenfold, and at the same time, Meng Bo called on the people to go down to the river to clear the dredging and make manure, the number of fertile fields has increased, the yield per mu has increased, and the grain of this year, conservatively estimated, should be ten times that of previous years."

Di Xin happily stroked his hands and laughed, ignoring the muddy appearance of the prime minister and Meng Bo, and pulled the two out of the field. You Hun looked at Meng Wei with a complicated expression and asked sourly.

"Not only do you have to cultivate ten times the land of previous years, but also go down to the river to clear the dredging, are the people like Meng Bo who are infinitely powerful and energetic?"

"Hahaha, You Qingshi, you can come and take a look at the next autumn harvest and winter wheat, Meng Bo has a farm tool, called the plough, which can be used to plough the field with animal power, and people, only need to follow the back to master the direction and balance, you can easily hoe and sow seeds."

Di Xin is very happy, isn't the grain for Dongyi to be settled? It's just that he immediately remembered the gambling contract with Meng Bo, and his face showed displeasure.

"Uncle Meng, what kind of tax do you say you want to reduce, from the perspective of loneliness, you should draw five out of ten, all this grain should be moved back to Lutai, why do the people leave so much food? Let them eat, and they will not be able to finish it. ”

Meng Wei subconsciously wiped his forehead with his dirty hands stained with sludge, the king is worthy of being a famous tyrant in history, this kind of thing can also be said, Daqin was only three out of ten when he was the most severe, and when he was transferred to the king, the better the growth, the more he smoweed. Is it red-eyed?

"King, don't worry, the people have taken a lot, they have a surplus in the market, and finally purchase all kinds of goods, and finally pass the commercial tax and material tax, they will return to the royal court, but after the autumn harvest, Meng Wei wants to put forward five suggestions."

"First, increase commercial taxes and stabilize grain prices, so that merchants do not pursue profits, lower grain prices and collect them, and sell them to other countries for profit."

"Second: the law of tax reduction can not be adjusted lightly, but it can be increased by one every year, and the method of cultivation used will be promoted to the world, spread the news, the tax reduction policy will be adjusted back to the original standard within five years, and the clan heroes will see the people benefit, and they will follow up the pioneer when the median value of the tax is paid."

"Third: In addition to the military funds, please set up a farm in the king, and the farm will be built into a common appliance such as shelling, stone grinding, and the purchase of improved seeds, which is a public instrument, and can be used to collect surplus grain and profits."

"Fourth: encourage childbearing and provide tax exemptions for multi-family families."

"Fifth: Meng Wei please build a mansion, called the Zhichong General's Mansion, after the war, there is no need to send all the soldiers back to farming, and some of the elite will be turned back to the General's Mansion, maintain training, Tuntian reclamation, concentrate on Tuntian in idle time, and I can directly transfer the soldiers of the General's Mansion to fight against rebellion in wartime."

"Of course, these things one by one, need to be slowly advanced, Meng Wei has no skills, and in the future, he will have to rely on the support of the king, and the ministers can only be implemented with the participation of the ministers, if the five strategies of the business can be one or two, the great business will be immortal!"

The way of painting cakes is broad and profound, although it is still empty talk, but the bet contract to double the yield per mu was completed ahead of schedule, and Meng Wei had the confidence to draw a bigger grand plan for Di Xin to look forward to the future.

Looking at Meng Wei who was explaining the five discussions with the king and the prime minister in front of him, You Hun had a complicated complexion, and the whole person was like being deflated, and he looked at the brother in front of him who seemed to be emitting golden light, and he was silent, he finally knew what was the difference between himself and Meng Wei.

One is scheming, the other is pragmatic, and no one can take away the credit of this agricultural mulberry, because this is not a whim, this is a series of reforms that are linked one by one.

He is not Shang Yang at all, he didn't use the Qin method to change the law, he deceived You Hun, who is also familiar with the "story", do you think I want to learn Shang Marting? Wrong, I directly learned from Cao Cao, learned from the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers and peasants were combined, so as to drive those nobles and clans to join this gluttonous feast.

Meng Di is digging the roots of the clan, that is, slaves, while Chaoge is cultivating a flood beast, putting professional soldiers who have been out of production on the stage, maintaining combat strength and establishment, and then making the two places echo each other.

You Hun speculated with the greatest malice, if when Mengdi set off a wave of change and took his example as a target, when the princes of the world were surging and rising one after another, who would be able to stop the group of unproductive iron army of Chaoge? I'm afraid there are only some immortals and demons in the sky.

At that time, who else can influence Meng Wei's path of change?

He is not sleeping, but taking advantage of the turmoil during this time, he has been watching the farce of the royal court and sharpening his knife!

Fantasy literature, I don't know what the government military system will be like in a slave society, fantasize about it. It's the same in modern society, if you have money, you can try a variety of so-called business models, but if you don't have money, even if you can see the rise of e-commerce, see the benefits of new energy, see the future of batteries, and have no money to enter the market, so this wave of food is equivalent to a bargaining chip on the table.
