Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Is it difficult to recruit teachers in this school?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu and said

"The master of this school is really not something that ordinary people can do."

"In addition to being knowledgeable, one must also have extremely high moral character."

"You know, the students spend time with the Master day and night, and they are all at an ignorant age. Many of their behaviors will be imitated by the Master unconsciously."

"A good teacher is the foundation for students to become talents in the future"

"Talented and virtuous people are in short supply even in the imperial court, let alone in this school.

Fusu smiled bitterly and said:"Besides, in the school, the salary of the master is not high. In Xianyang City, it is just enough to survive, and the attraction is even smaller.""

"If we want to improve the treatment of masters, it is fine now, but if it is extended to every state and county in Da Qin in the future, the court will not be able to afford it."

A look of deep thought suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

On the second day, in the court hall,

Ying Zheng directly asked a question.

That is why the revenue of the Great Qin treasury has been unable to make ends meet?

"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a profit of 50 million from the Huns, the Great Wall project has also been suspended."

"However, these multiple disaster reliefs, as well as subsequent reconstruction, as well as the rewards for the soldiers, directly drained the national treasury again."

"Even the government-run schools previously advocated by His Royal Highness were funded by His Royal Highness."

Nei Shiteng stepped forward to complain.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the only way to increase income is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

"Nowadays, there is no potential to be exploited by reducing expenditures. I think it is better to find ways to increase revenue!"

Meng Yi reported in the prelude

"How to open source?"

Ying Zheng was noncommittal.

"This, Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to increase revenue, you can only reopen the door to merchants and increase business taxes! Meng

Yi took a deep breath and said

"No! Li

Si jumped out and retorted loudly.

Since Shang Yang, Legalism has been respected in the Qin Dynasty, and now it has become the mainstream.

The policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business originated from Shang Yang and was strictly followed by Li Si and others.

Now Meng Yi publicly proposed to encourage merchants in the court, which was somewhat contrary to the current laws of Daqin. How could Li Si and others agree?

"The reason why our country, Qin Dynasty, emphasizes agriculture and despises business is that merchants are all opportunists."

"Although the benefits of merchants can increase their income, it will also bring more hidden dangers?"

"If you can easily make profits by relying on merchants' methods, how many people in the world are willing to work in the fields?"

I have to say that Li Si is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. In a few words, he simply pointed out the reasons for the Qin Dynasty's policy of emphasizing agriculture and neglecting commerce. The ministers of the government and the public expressed their agreement, and even Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod slightly.

If no one is farming, The harvest is insufficient, and the foundation of the Qin Kingdom will be shaken.

It seems that this way of merchants cannot be promoted.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at Fusu.

He knew that Meng Yi's speech must have come from Fusu's instruction.

Fusu. Su smiled faintly, stood up from his seat, glanced at the civil and military officials, and said calmly:"You are all wrong."

Wrong?

The courtiers suddenly looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

"This emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce is the foundation for our Qin Dynasty to rise from a small border country. Li

Si said unconvinced.

Although Fusu is now the crown prince, the Great Qin court has always been open and rarely calls anyone to task for what he said. Therefore, Li Si, who feels he is justified, is not unreasonable.

And in Li Si's view, Ying Zheng obviously also approves. own point of view

"Fusu, if you have any opinion, just say it directly."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.

In his opinion, the way to govern a country is to become more and more knowledgeable, and it is completely acceptable to have different opinions.

Moreover, this son has created so many miracles, and maybe it will be the same this time. It can make one's eyes shine.

Even if it fails in the end, it can give Fusu more experience, which in Ying Zheng's eyes can be regarded as a gain.

"I don’t know if you have ever heard of the saying, that moment is the same as this moment!"

"This means that things change over time. Fusu said unhurriedly:

"This policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was indeed a wise move in the pre-Qin period.

Because the country in Pre-Qin was small and declining, the land was barren, and the unit output was extremely low.

In addition, the alien tribes in the grassland and the surrounding countries are watching eagerly, and the situation is precarious.

At this time, everything is prepared for war, and when marching and fighting, the most important things are soldiers and food.

At this time, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, allowing the remaining people to abandon merchants and plant food instead, and giving priority to ensuring food supply, naturally became the only option."

"Our Great Qin also trained the strongest army through this, and finally defeated the Six Kingdoms and the Xiongnu."

Ying Zheng nodded again.

Fusu's speech had already captured the essence of governing the country.

He couldn't help but look forward to Fusu's next speech.

Since it was the right choice, why is it wrong now?

It's just that. It’s just a difference of more than a hundred years.

Will the change really be that big?

Fusu gave the answer:

"Today's Great Qin has swept through the six kingdoms and unified the Central Plains. It has also destroyed the Xiongnu and expanded its territory thousands of miles."

"At present, only Da Yueshi and Dong Hu are worried about my Da Qin attacking them. Even if I give them ten courages, they don’t dare to provoke my Da Qin."

"Even if they have different intentions, the 100,000 Qin cavalry being reorganized and trained on the grassland will make them understand what regret is."

"Our Great Qin's current external goal is no longer to defend, but to expand its territory, strive to capture the Great Yueshi as soon as possible, and then annex the Mauryan Dynasty.

The internal goal is to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing and increase their recognition of Da Qin.

At this time, it was no longer appropriate to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

First of all, the existence of Zhengguo Canal and Ling Canal has proved that the construction of water conservancy measures can greatly increase production and even turn the originally barren Guanzhong into thousands of miles of fertile farmland.

Kuaiji and other counties, which already have fertile land, can increase their harvests again if water conservancy can keep up.

Moreover, as I have introduced before, I am promoting several new high-yielding crops. Once successful, the people of Great Qin will no longer have to worry about going hungry.

With the combination of water conservancy and new high-yielding crops, only millions of people are needed to farm to feed everyone. So, would it become a problem if the remaining people cannot be provided with a livelihood?"

Ying Zheng nodded with deep feeling.

If a family of several people only needs one or two people to farm to support the whole family, then it will be difficult for the remaining people to be restrained in the fields, which is also a hidden danger.

These people, if they are not given Their only way out is to cause trouble.

Although it seems a bit far away from thinking about this at the moment, it is indeed a big problem that must be guarded against.
