16 Chapter 16
CHAPTER XVI
This question was too sudden, and Fusu was a little at a loss, "Erchen, Erchen doesn't know." β
Ying Zheng's eyelids raised slightly, not surprised by his eldest son's answer.
ββIt is not easy to realize that "Han Hui" is not easy, and he can't use his own standards to ask Fusu.
"Zhongqing thinks, why can the Great Han after thousands of years replace my Great Qin?"
Ying Zheng looked around at the ministers in the palace.
Wang Wan frowned slightly.
Li Si's face sank like water.
Meng Tian's eyes were already cold, "Your Majesty, the Qin army is invincible, how can it be easily defeated by outsiders and let others take the Great Qin River?" β
"It must be internal and external troubles that followed, and the Qin army was too busy to take care of itself, and the enemy was on its back, so that the Han army replaced Great Qin."
"I'm afraid not necessarily."
Wang Juan stroked his beard lightly, "Although Your Majesty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, our army also suffered heavy casualties, if you don't rest with the people, reduce taxes, let the head of Qianshou live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy the prosperity and peace, those remnants of the Six Kingdoms who have been incorporated into Great Qin will definitely take advantage of this to make waves and subvert our Great Qin." β
"The general and the prime minister are both reasonable, but the ministers have different opinions."
Li Si pondered, "Although the world is now unified, and Your Majesty has the same government of writing and writing, and unifying currency and writing, there are still hundreds of schools of thought in Kyushu, with different ideological concepts, which affect his protΓ©gΓ©s and the local leaders. β
"Your Majesty's new policy, Your Majesty's rule of law, every move will become the talk of their dialectical discussion."
"If they support Your Majesty, it will be enough, and if they do not, they will use their influence to prevent the promotion of Your Majesty's new policies and ideas."
Ying Zhengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Wrong.
None of them are right.
These will affect Great Qin, but they will never be the real reason why Great Qin went from its heyday to its demise.
Ying Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and slowly fell on Fusu.
For the first time in his life, he no longer looked at his eldest son as a ruler, but from the perspective of a bystander.
Then he found that his eldest son's foundation was pitifully weak, he had no mother, no wife, not even courtiers who swore to support him, and once the situation was turbulent, his status as the only eldest son who could allow him to participate in politics would instantly become a spear pierced into his heart by someone with a heart.
He didn't have the courage to remove anything unfavorable anyway.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.
"Great Qin died in the Han Dynasty, but it is not the reason you say."
Ying Zheng retracted his gaze, "but died in internal turmoil." β
An unprecedentedly powerful dynasty will not be defeated from the outside.
- It's Daqin's internal problems.
Ying Zheng lazily raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Si, "Tingwei, the good thing between Ling Yuan and Fusu is approaching, you need to worry more about this matter." β
Wang Juan's face changed slightly.
- So, His Majesty still chose Li Si in the end?!
Li Si's breath tightened, and he was sincerely afraid, "The minister's order." β
"The minister will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of the minister!"
The corners of Fusu's mouth twitched slightly, and the light smile on his face became extremely faint.
- He did not agree with Tingwei's assertions.
Meng Tian got up and congratulated him, "Gongzi He is overjoyed." β
Β·
"There is good news from Shanglinyuan today, saying that the rice has spit out buds, which is very different from our rice."
Han Shu smiled and said to Hehua, "Our rice seedlings are weak and slender, and the seeds given by the Book of Heaven are quite stout, even if they encounter heavy rain and wind in the future, they will not be easily blown down." β
"Not afraid of wind and rain, and less insect pests, how can the yield of this kind of artifact not be high?"
"The internal history said, don't say it's only one or two thousand, if the wind and rain are smooth, it is not impossible for the output to be higher."
As a slave, Han Su is far more aware of the importance of food to Qianshou than Hehua, "If this kind of rice can be promoted to the world, Kyushu Qianshou will no longer be hungry." β
"Princess, you will be enshrined in a temple in the future and enjoy the incense of eternity!"
"The leaders don't thank Father for ending the war, but they thank me?"
Hehua was a little puzzled, "For the sake of these grains, they will build a temple for me?" β
"Princess, the people live on food."
Han Su said, "For Qianshou, nothing is more important than having a full stomach. β
Hehua didn't seem to understand, "That's it." β
"Then Qianshou has a full stomach, will he no longer resist his father's new policy?"
Hehua is more concerned about this matter, "Can Father's county system be implemented faster?" β
"Nature."
"If you can live and work in peace and contentment, who will still worry about the previous kings and marquis?" β
Hehua completely understood.
When the leaders of the Qians are well fed and clothed, they will no longer miss their old master, and they will be able to accept everything in Daqin, regard themselves as Qin people, and swear allegiance to their father.
- So, food is really important.
It's not just food, it's something else.
Military service, conscription, taxes, these things that the eldest brother talked about in front of her are related to whether Qianshou can live well with a full stomach.
Therefore, the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism are right, the love of the Mohists is right, the rewards and punishments of the Legalists are right, and even the soldiers' sieges are right.
They are all indispensable, but they also have their own shortcomings, which need to be carefully screened by Father.
It turns out that Father has done a good job, otherwise he would not have unified Kyushu and returned to Qin.
Hehua held his face in his hands, and for the first time had a new understanding of food, the country, and the government.
"Han Su, let's go to Lin Yuan."
Hehua said, "I know a lot of words again, and I will definitely be able to help Zhisu Neishi." β
Hearing that Hehua was going to Shanglin Yuan, Meng Yi immediately put down all government affairs and personally brought troops to send them.
- His Majesty's personal order to put the princess first in everything.
With Meng Yi escorting, the journey should have been smooth, but Hehua encountered an unpleasant episode on the road - she met Hu Hai.
"Little Eleven, are you going to Shanglin Yuan too?"
Hu Hai sat on the step and said to Hehua through the veil on the Hehua sedan chair, "It's just right, brother and brother are also going, let's go together?" β
Hehua snorted lightly, "You always bully my people, so I don't want to go with you." β
"A few lowly slaves and maids, but they are also worthy of your life with your brother and brother?"
Hu Hai was noncommittal, "Little Eleven-"
"Meng Qing, let's go."
Hehua directly interrupted Hu Hai's words.
Hu Hai's face changed slightly.
Meng Yijian raised his eyebrows slightly, and clenched his fists, "Childe, the minister will take the first step." β
"Get out!"
Hu Hai's voice was cold.
Zhang Han's brows moved slightly.
The group continued to march towards the upper forest garden.
Meng Yi slowed down, level with Hehua's sedan chair, and whispered to Hehua, "Princess, in front of everyone's eyes, it's probably inappropriate for you to lose face like this." β
"I know."
Hehua frowned, "But I just hate him." β
"The people who robbed me and beat me."
"The scar on Sister Hanshu's forehead was smashed by him with something."
"I hate him!"
Hehua huffed.
Hanshu's heart warmed.
- The princess is a wonderful and kind person.
Β·
"Hu Hai and Little Eleven broke up unhappily?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Little Eleven has a good temper, it must be Hu Hai's bad words, and the two will break up unhappily." β
The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched slightly.
- His Majesty became more and more partial, and without even asking the reason, he concluded that it was the fault of the childe.
But the problem is that this time Childe didn't do anything, it was the princess who was angry with Childe because of what happened before, so the two parted ways and didn't go to Shanglin Yuan together.
Zhao Gao said, "Your Majesty, Gongzi has not-"
Then he saw Ying Zheng's eyes slightly dark, and looked at him, "You seem to be very nervous about my attitude towards Hu Hai?" β
"The slave is nervous, Your Majesty."
Zhao Gao was shocked, and hurriedly changed his words, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, but you still have to worry about the affairs of the princess and son, and the slave and maid feel sorry for Your Majesty, so they will-"
"You'd better be like that."
Ying Zheng lazily withdrew his gaze.
Zhao Gao's body softened, kneeling on the ground and trembling, "Your Majesty, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore!" β
But Ying Zheng didn't look at him, and directly ordered the people of the small temple, "Xuan Li Si will meet you." β
If rice can be successfully popularized and the original grain harvest will be doubled, then Daqin's taxation will no longer be harsh, and the county system will be smoothly implemented, and the Kyushu in the world, which has very different cultures and customs, will be firmly twisted into a rope.
- Will such a Great Qin be easily replaced by the Han?
Β·
On the way, Hu Hai, Hehua felt unlucky, fortunately, there was Meng Yi to send him, Hu Hai did not follow, Han Su prepared a small snack, Hehua ate a small snack, listened to Han Su and said to her laughing, and soon arrived at Shanglin Yuan.
"Princess, why are you here?"
As soon as he heard that Hehua was coming to Shanglin Yuan, Zhisu Neishi, who was observing the rise of rice in the paddy field, hurriedly changed his clothes to greet him, and led Hehua to see the rice seedlings that were rising gratifyingly.
"Princess, please look."
Zhisu Neishi said, "This is the seedling of our Great Qin, here are your seedlings, one is slender, one is stout, one attracts insect pests, and the other can barely see insects." β
"The seed you gave is a divine thing!"
"In time, we will be able to reap a great harvest and change history!"
Zhisu Neishi was excited.
Hehua didn't know much about rice, but after listening to Zhisu Neishi's explanation, she looked at the rice seedlings again, and it seemed that it was indeed different, so she nodded, and said in a milky voice, "Thank you for your hard work." β
"No hard work, no hard work!"
Zhisu Neishi shook his head again and again, with a happy face, "Being able to grow such rice with the help of the princess is a blessing that the ministers have cultivated for several generations!" β
Han Su sneered.
She has the impression that Zhisu Neishi is a stubborn little old man, who grows good food and counts good accounts.
Talented people are proud of their talents, and the history of Zhisu is no exception, he only has a good face for His Majesty, and it is more difficult for others to think of his good attitude than to ascend to the sky.
But now, when the dustless Zhisu Neishi spoke to the princess, he used honorific titles, full of respect and admiration, which is the treatment that His Majesty only has in Zhisu Neishi, and now, it is used by Zhisu Neishi on the little princess who is only four years old.
- It can be seen that food is such a thing as not only allowing the head of Qianshou to live and work in peace and contentment, but also making Zhisu Neishi with his nostrils facing the sky happy and sincere to the princess, and respectful.
"Neishi, I've learned a lot of words recently, and I can help you a lot."
Hehua said with a smile.
As he grew older, Hehua's speech gradually became clearer, even if the sentences were long, he could make the people around him understand, and he was overjoyed to hear the history of Zhisu, and hurriedly asked his henchmen to bring a transcript of the planting method and let Hehua read it to him.
Hehua never forgets, learns things very quickly, and adds the unrecognizable words The teacher's notes have pinyin, and with the cooperation of the two, Hehua barely read out the first few paragraphs.
"Soaking seeds in lime water?"
Zhi Su Neishi twisted his beard lightly, and was a little puzzled, "Disinfection and germination?" β
"Farmhouse fertilizer, general calcium, potassium sulfate fertilizer? Urea? So what? β
"I don't know."
Hehua shook his head.
Zhisu Neishi sighed lightly, "These are mostly things that are only available in the Book of Heaven, and they are added to the rice when the rice is growing, so as to promote the rice to produce more and have a bumper harvest." β
"We don't have these things, but I'm afraid that the output may not be able to reach the output of Tianshu."
"But even if it can't be reached, it is higher than our current yield per mu."
Meng Yi said.
"That's right."
Zhisu Neishi laughed, "Even if it can't reach the output of the Book of Heaven, it is good to be able to increase it three or five times, and it is enough to feed Qianshou." β
Hehua had another idea.
Food is very important, the key to a bumper grain harvest is fertilizer, these fertilizers Daqin doesn't have, so she has to find a way to get them from the teacher.
- Why do you want to see that you can only multiply your grain by three or five times because you don't have fertilizer?
Well, she asked the teacher tonight how to make fertilizer.
Hehua kept this incident in his heart.
In the evening, the teacher came as promised, tonight was teaching mathematics and thousand-character essays, there was a doctor enlightened, Hehua learned things faster than before, and before a class was finished, he learned all the things taught by the teacher.
After learning it, she raised her little hand excitedly, "Teacher, I have a problem." β
"Hehua child, what's your problem?"
"Well, my question is, what are farmyard fertilizer, general calcium, potassium sulfate fertilizer and urea?"
"How do they do it?"
"Why is it that if you use them, you can double the grain harvest?"
