I'm happy, don't you understand? If you don't understand, it's my turn to attack.

"Yesterday, I told Li Si and a few others about productivity in Jiangzuofu, and I won't tell you about this first. I only want to ask you one thing, the annual revenue of the Great Qin treasury has increased from 9 million stones in the 27th year of the first emperor to 12 million stones today, which has increased by 41 percent, why? ”

Yu He secretly said that it was not good, and he bowed his hand and said: "It is the work of Your Majesty to develop Jiangnan, promote mulberry rice, and develop farming tools." ”

I didn't turn around: "Qiwan, how old are you this year?" Your family is also a prestigious family in Longxi, if you are in charge of the general mansion, can you develop so many new appliances? ”

Qi Wan looked mediocre, but he was well-versed, and he won my heart, and he bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is twenty-five years old." If it is the lord who is in charge of the government, it will never have the current momentum, far more! ”

"Yu He, Qi Wan has been by my side for four years, can you say that he has not been taught by me?" I smiled: "Even if I let Qi Wan be the county guard now, I can rest assured, but I will never hand over the government to him." There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, this truth is not difficult to understand, right? ”

Yu He opened his mouth, snorted for a long time, and said stiffly: "After all, although it is helpful for farming, it is not the foundation of the country!" ”

After saying this, Yu He couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth!

I was all happy: "What? Ge Yue, you say, if agriculture is not the foundation of the country, then what is the foundation of the country? ”

Ge Yue knew that Yu He had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is the ruler of Su's internal history, and the importance of farming to Daqin is self-evident. Doctor Goshi probably didn't mean that......"

Ge Yue glanced at Yu He, and said secretly in his heart: 'Lord Yu, I can only help you get here......

I waved my hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Yu He, I know what you want to express. Shusun Tong, you should know Zigong's story about the orange tree, right? Let's hear it.

Uncle Sun Tong stood up and arched his hand and said, "Obey." This incident is recorded in "Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth", which means that Zigong saw that there was a "square will be a garden, dig a tunnel and enter the well, and hold the urn and irrigate", so he asked why he didn't use it when he had a labor-saving machine, and he replied, "Those who have machinery must have organic things, and those who have organic things must have organic hearts." If the heart is stored in the chest, it will be pure white and unprepared, and if it is not pure white, it will be uncertain, and if God is uncertain, the Tao will not carry it. ”

"Sit down." I looked at the crowd and said, "You always think that the equipment is not a sign of doing business, but from siege equipment, irrigation equipment, and farming equipment, which one does not bring progress and development to the world?" You should be more familiar with the story of Ku Ding's explanation of the cow, can you say that Ku Ding is not doing business? That's why there aren't many Taoist people in the Hundred Schools of Learning, and I don't want them to hinder the development of Great Qin. ”

"I just mentioned productivity, which is the amount of labor that people can obtain with the help of tools. People are limited, but tools are infinite. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, what is science? explore the laws and origins of the operation of things; What is technology? Through the laws and origins of the operation of things, the corresponding instruments are manufactured. The clearer people understand the rules, the more the appliance can provide unimaginable assistance. ”

"The Academy Palace is just starting now, and the students are still learning the knowledge of the traditional hundred schools, but after the Academy Palace matures, I will add new knowledge, such as astronomy and geography, physical chemistry, mathematics and engineering, etc., which are the foundation of Daqin's future development. Once this knowledge is popularized, the benefit of agriculture is only the most insignificant role they can play. ”

Yu He was speechless at this time. First, because the righteousness of what I said was awe-inspiring, and it was even more inspiring than him; Twenty because, what productivity? What science and technology? Also physical chemistry? I don't seem to understand it......

The others are similar, only Li Si is still more sober and knows that I have deviated from the original question: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Your Majesty said is reasonable." Shang Jun's law is not mentioned for the time being, the original problem of the Imperial Doctor has not been solved, how to prevent people with intentions from using the Xue Palace to disadvantage Daqin? ”

Yu He came to his senses at this time, it turned out that he had dug a big hole for himself from the beginning, and secretly hated: "I wanted to use the law of Shangjun to support my statement, but I didn't expect that as soon as I brought it up, everyone's eyes were attracted by the law of Shangjun, but no one cared about the affairs of the school palace......

I said lightly: "Why should you prevent it? ”

Li Si was stunned: "This ......"

I smiled slightly: "I said as early as when the Four Classics Song and the Qin Character Flag were issued to the world, there are no people from the Six Kingdoms in the world, only Qin people and Qin land. I know your concerns, but I'm not afraid. ”

"First, if you are rich today, although the treasury has less corn, it is rich in money, and more importantly, the people are rich. There was a severe drought this summer, but judging from the reports from various places, there was no mass starvation death, which was not possible before. Qian's richest man, who would rebel against those traitors with their heads? ”

The two are also applicable to the country. There are two kinds of discussions, one is discussion and the other is criticism. discussants, pointing out the shortcomings of the imperial court and suggesting good policies; Those who criticize are proud to slander the court and spread rumors. The former is what I want to see, and the latter, now the school palace implements closed teaching, if those doctors and teachers can't even distinguish and teach these, what use do I want them to do? Uncle Sun Tong, what do you think? ”

The school palaces in various places have been built, and Feng Zai stepped down and handed it over to his uncle Sun Tong, who is now equivalent to the chief official of Taixue.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has strictly ordered the county school palace not to debate privately, and it must be under the organization of the doctor to debate collectively, and everything can be controlled."

I looked at Li Si and Yu He and said, "What do you think?" ”

The two glanced at each other, convinced, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

I smiled slightly, this matter is over, but it is not satisfactory.

"Uncle Sun Tong, you go back and prepare a report and submit it, and there are two ways to become an official in the future: the first is to go through the school palace and the imperial examination, and directly appoint as an official, and inspect it in office, no longer through the three-year inspection of Weilang; The second is to retain the probationary as a lang, and the lang can be appointed as an official after three years of inspection. This is how many talents can be recruited! ”

Previously, I decided that all the Langs would be selected through the imperial examination, but after the imperial examination, it would take three years to be a lang, and only those who excelled in the examination could become officials. Since those nobles have a bit of a big opinion on the imperial examination, they might as well push the boat down the river to keep the examination as a lang, first, to win the hearts of the nobles, and secondly, from enrollment to officialdom, six years is indeed too long.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone immediately agreed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

After all, their children will be officials sooner or later, and the form of inspection is much simpler than scientific examination, and I can't help but feel grateful to Yu He for making the first bird for them......
