Chapter 9: The Captain's Greetings
After listening to Yingzheng's request, Wei Yizi did not directly reply that it was okay or not, but began to think.
Even in the process of thinking, sometimes he would pick up a pencil and write and draw on a blank piece of paper, or look through the latest statistics of Shaofu, but Ying Zheng did not urge, but picked up the teacup and began to taste tea slowly.
Even the method of tea and roasted tea was introduced by Yingzheng from other worlds. Probably this is the alternative heaven and all worlds are the primary productive forces.
Half an hour later, Wei Yizi put down the pencil in his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty is too anxious, even if the development speed of Great Qin in the next five years can maintain the trend of the past four years, and even if there is growth on this basis, it will not be able to fulfill Your Majesty's requirements." ”
"Many of these requirements will take 10 or even 20 years to achieve. Individual requests, I'm afraid, will take a lifetime of effort. ”
"Your Majesty's intentions are good, but they are too hasty to accomplish these ambitious goals in five years. ”
"Take the army as an example, today's army is a drill every three days and a drill every five days, and it is the most elite in the whole world. But even so, the consumption of the army has accounted for 20% of the annual income of the imperial court. ”
"This is because the income of the imperial court has risen in recent years, and if it is changed to training once a day, the meat and food needed will be amazing. ”
"Even if the king is willing to use the income of the Shaofu to support the imperial court, it is only barely enough to meet the requirements, but the shortage of meat is extremely huge. ”
"The king doesn't think that he can train an elite soldier by eating only food and not meat, right?" Speaking of this, Wei Yizi stopped and looked at Yingzheng.
"Well, what else? What problems can please be pointed out one by one, maybe what Mr. can't solve, Gu can solve. Ying Zheng said calmly.
Isn't it just meat, Daqin doesn't have it, can other worlds have it?
"Then the old minister will talk casually, and the king should not be angry. ”
"The sources of meat are chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and dolphins, but the requirements for large-scale farming and free-range farming are completely different. A wide variety of factors are complex. It is by no means a decree of the imperial court that can multiply the cattle and sheep underneath. ”
"These loneliness can be understood, what else?" Ying Zheng nodded.
"As for money, there is new money minted by Shaofu, no problem for the time being. There is not enough food, and since Your Majesty wants to dominate the world, then how much food is not enough. Because in the future, there will be more than Great Qin in the world, and the livelihood of the people of the Six Kingdoms must also be taken into account, and it is not enough to have money alone......"
Before you know it, the discussion is coming to the next day. At this time, Shaofu ordered Li Si and Shangqing Mengfu to also join in.
Li Si has an excellent memory and has the ability to remember. He knew all aspects of Daqin's data by heart, and blurted out it as soon as he needed it, without hesitation.
As for Meng Fu, he has more experience and specializes in checking and filling in the gaps in the military's planning. All kinds of seemingly inconspicuous but actually very influential small details were also put forward by him one by one.
By the third day, the number of participants had increased from four to nine.
At night, the rest of the people had already left, and under the moonlight, Ying Zheng and Wei Yizi sat under the steps together to make a final summary.
"Overall, there are a lot of minor problems, but they can be overcome. The biggest shortfall lies in grain, which is 3 million stone this year and will be as much as 10 million stone in five years' time. ”
"Yes, the main thing is that the army eats three meals a day, and the consumption of insisting on training every day is too great. Even if there is a Shaofu, coupled with the accumulation of the Qin State in the past, it will stick to the first two years at most. ”
"Considering that the agricultural officials of the Shaofu Prefecture, even if they are optimistic, in the case of a bumper harvest every year, they will hold on to three or four years at most, and the plan will not last for the fifth year. Wei Yuzi said.
"In addition to the food problem, the meat problem also needs to be solved urgently, even if you go into the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to catch fish, without harming the fundamentals, you can only support the first two or three years?"
"Yes, meat and food are the biggest problems. ”
In short, the plan is good, but it is almost impossible to achieve due to the constraints of meat and food. Not to mention the consumption of large-scale construction of water conservancy and construction of gallop roads. At the end of the day, it's all about eating and drinking.
"Sir, don't worry, let's go according to the plan. How to reform how to reform, Lone is the biggest backstage of Mr. ”
"Whether it is a child of the clan, a descendant of a nobleman, or a local hero, whoever dares to stop this reform is the enemy of my Yingzheng and the enemy of my Great Qin. ”
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng untied the sword he was wearing at his waist and pulled it out with a sonorous sound.
Under the moonlight, the gorgeous sword body shimmered with moonlight. Ying Zheng can even see his face from the top of the sword.
"The name of this sword is Tianwen, it is one of the swords in the world, and it is also the sword that Lone used to carry before, and now it is given to Mr. If necessary, the gentleman can hold this sword, first cut and then play. ”
"Yui!"
Sent away Wei Yizi, who was holding a sword in both hands, and glanced at the moon in the sky, Ying Zheng knew that today was another all-nighter.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his hair, fortunately Gu was still young and could hold on.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng came to a secret research base in Shanglin Yuan, which was still a public loser. It's just that it's not used to study artillery, but to study all kinds of advanced technologies related to life.
Chalk, blackboards, pencils, white paper, toilet paper, these inconspicuous small objects were first passed down from here.
"How's the preparation going?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared for a long time. Gong Qiu patted his chest and laughed.
Now he felt more and more that joining Daqin was the right move. This is the luck of the entire public loser, and it is also the luck of his public loss.
In the past, even when he dreamed, he never imagined that the public loser would be able to get such a favor from the empire.
"Look, the king, these are engraving and movable type printing made according to the king's secret book. ”
"Movable type is lead movable type, and after having the secret book given by the king, these are very simple, but there are some minor problems. ”
"What's the problem?" said Ying Zheng patiently.
According to the Mystical Texts, movable type printing should have been more convenient. However, in fact, it is more convenient to print engraving. I thought about it, and it should be the reason. ”
"First, the number of literate people in Daqin is too small now, and it is too time-consuming to pick out movable type, and there are not enough people. ”
"Second, the number of books that Daqin needs to print now is small, and the advantages of movable type printing are not reflected at all. ”
"Thirdly, if you were to be a master of the innate and do it yourself, it would take only half an hour at most to produce hundreds of completely different and fine engravings without any typos. ”
And a high-quality engraving is enough to print 10,000 books, which is extremely efficient. In this case, the efficiency of movable type is not as good as that of engraving.
"Well, I know about it. Then for the time being, it will be mainly engraving, and the movable type will be sealed first, and then it will be developed in the future. ”
"Next, you have to make a newspaper, called the Great Qin Xun Newspaper, and the content on it is ......"
