Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 6 There are more ideal strategies

Seeing the fluctuating expression on his father's face and Li Zhao's aggrieved look, Fusu couldn't stand it any longer, so he saluted and said to Ying Zheng, "Father, Li Zhao seldom touches state affairs, so I don't think we should embarrass him. .”

"Don't embarrass him?" Ying Zheng stood up from his high seat with an intriguing smile in his eyes, walked slowly, and came to Li Zhao's side, looking at Li Zhao with interest.

Li Zhao was startled, and wondered what Qin Shihuang was going to do?Did he say something wrong, no!He said it very seriously!Absolutely did not mean to offend Zulong.

But Ying Zheng just looked at it for a while, then turned his face away, smiled slightly, and said to himself: You didn't say anything wrong, and you said it quite right, but you shouldn't lie to me!

Don't you understand nothing?How to analyze so thoroughly.

"That's right! It seems to be embarrassing him."

"The baby is scared to death." Li Zhao relaxed after hearing Ying Zheng's words, and his heart was so dangerous!Qin Shihuang's weird smile was too scary.

Ying Zheng restrained his smile, stared at Fu Su closely, and his attitude softened a lot.

This is always his son, who will inherit the throne in the future, blindly vetoing it is not conducive to his growth.

Since he raised this question, he must have considered countermeasures!

Thinking this way, Yingzheng asked Fusu: "Since you propose to ban and suppress business, do you have a good strategy?"

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said: "My minister has already thought of a countermeasure. Our Daqin suppression of merchants is nothing more than to protect the people who work day and night, so that they will not be hungry, warm, and homeless."

what!
Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this. It seems that his Fusu is not pedantic as imagined, but he still has some ideas, so he doesn't know what to do next?

"If food can be made abundant, wouldn't this problem be solved?"

Yes, Ying Zheng nodded, and Li Zhao also nodded.

Suddenly Li Zhao had an idea that this eldest son was not as Confucian as recorded in the history books, and some problems were still clear.

"How to make food abundant?" Ying Zheng asked the main question.

Fusu shrugged, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Father, my ministers have investigated that the food in Daqin is mainly millet, wheat, rice, etc., and millet and wheat are planted in the Guanzhong area, which is ripe once every half a year, which is considered acceptable, but why can't the people eat enough? The reason is that our Daqin There is not enough land, we can open up more wasteland, and the food supply will increase?"

Ying Zheng didn't answer, nor did he react much, and fell into deep thought.

Li Zhao curled his lips, disapproving, and thought: This is the reason, but it is no different from superfluous. Daqin has 2000 million people. Because of the emphasis on agriculture, almost all the people are farming. No matter how much land is opened up, there will be no one. Farming doesn't help either!

The problem now is that the population is small, and it is not suitable for more land reclamation. Of course, if we can work hard on the yield per mu, it may be a solution.

what!
Ying Zheng couldn't help nodding when he heard Li Zhao's heartfelt feelings.

Yes, the population of Daqin is limited, and land reclamation cannot solve the problem. This is what he has been thinking about all the time. It is the right way to increase the yield per mu, but it is not easy to increase the yield per mu!
It's not that Daqin doesn't have a department that specializes in researching grain production, but since the unification, it has been unable to solve this problem, even if it can increase production a little.

Fusu didn't know what his father thought, seeing his father nodding, he was overjoyed, and his father agreed with him.

You know, he has put forward many opinions, but they were reprimanded and rejected, and today he made an exception.

Of course, his idea has gone through many investigations and the opinions of many great scholars. It can be said that it is a foolproof strategy, and it is reasonable for the father to agree.

So, he continued: "This is the first one. Second, I heard that Nanhai County has a hot climate and mainly grows rice, which can be harvested twice a year."

"Really?" Ying Zheng asked, his eyes lit up when he heard it.Since reunification, he has been busy with state affairs and paid little attention to regional issues.

"Of course!"

Fusu looked very proud, "As long as we vigorously open up the wasteland in Nanhai County, the grain production will definitely increase."

"Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to have enough food and clothing, and everyone will love me, Daqin? Wouldn't our Daqin's rule last forever?"

"Okay, that's a good idea." Ying Zheng frowned, feeling as if he could see the moon through the sky, and immediately made a case, "Fu Su, I'll let you go about this matter."

But just as he was about to tell Fusu to do it, he suddenly heard Li Zhao's voice again.

"Two crops a year in Nanhai County are indeed true." Almost all modern people know this geographical knowledge, "But the problem is the quantity. Fusu only thinks about the planting quantity, but does not take into account the yield per mu. This is different from that in the Guanzhong area. What's the difference."

Huh!Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this, and it seemed to be the case. Nanhai County only had so many manpower, so someone had to go to cultivate the land before it could be reclaimed!It’s still treating the symptoms but not the root cause. I was too happy just now and didn’t think of this layer.

Still have to solve the problem of yield per mu!

Ying Zheng sighed.

Seeing that the father was about to agree, but he stopped in the next moment, Fu Su was very puzzled, and asked cautiously: "Father, what do you mean?"

Ying Zheng straightened his face and asked: "Your suggestion is good, but have you ever thought about who will plant it? You don't say let the people plant it! They are also farming themselves. With the same workload, what do you think the yield per mu will be?" Can you lift it up?"

Ah!
Fusu narrowed his eyes and panicked for a while.Yes!Why didn't he think of this problem? With the same manpower, the yield per mu can't be raised at all. Even if Nanhai County is developed, it will be futile.

This problem is still in a dead end.

"Hehe! In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. Didn't Daqin have an army of 200 million? It happens that 50 troops are stationed across the land, and let the soldiers farm and fight, isn't it all right?"

Li Zhao thought to himself.

In history, Daqin did have the theory of farming and fighting, but Li Zhao couldn't understand why Yingzheng and Fusu had to struggle with this issue for so long?
But soon figured it out, maybe the plowing war hadn't started yet!

Um!Plowing war?

Hearing Li Zhao's heartfelt feelings, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, slapped his chest suddenly, and thought to himself, yes, farming and fighting, let the soldiers farm and fight at the same time.

That is to say, go to war when the war breaks out, and cultivate the land when it stops, the best of both worlds!

This method is wonderful.

For a while, Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao more, seeing that he was still ignorant, and couldn't get angry in his heart.

It was obviously a prime minister's suggestion, but he pretended not to know anything, and he pretended so much.

Who are the people in the world!
Son, hey!Ying Zheng was angry and laughed at the same time.

"Of course, this is not the best strategy. It would be even better if the quality of the seeds can be improved."

Um!Still not ideal?

Ying Zheng seemed to have heard the most incredible voice, he could predict that Geng Zhan would solve the problem of food shortage and even make the national highway prosperous.

He actually said it was not the best policy?

Could it be?
