Chapter 343 Farmers settled in the Grain Garden

For Shanyang County Government, this was a big matter, but for Li Si, who was handling the matter, it was just a trivial matter.

It even became a topic used by Li Si to tease Zhao Si.

What is sown in spring is called hope...

The tax reduction has become a settled matter, and the First Emperor returned to the palace with satisfaction after undergoing the spring plowing examination.

Zhao Si realized that the First Emperor might not care as much as he showed.

At the very least, the First Emperor cared about the opinions of the old Qin people.

But now, the First Emperor, who has completed the great cause of unification and personally untied the ropes from the necks of the old Qin people, has a prestige in Guanzhong that no previous Qin king can match.

Zhao Si lives in Guanzhong and has personal experience. He is afraid that these old Qin people really have a tendency to become fanatical fans.

time goes on...

With spring plowing, the grains in the grain garden have sprouted, and various crops have been planted.

The animal garden has also been completely constructed...

With the help of Zou Feng, the Hangmao Military Mansion was on the right track, and Zhao Si also had a pretty clear picture of the general situation of the Yulin Army.

Things become less troublesome once you become familiar with them, but the schedule is still very tight, and Zhao Si is still busy.

On this day, Zhao Si stood in front of the farmyard and knocked on the door.

The Grain Garden is on the right track. This is Zhao Si's back garden. Of course, Zhao Si is not prepared to simply receive some salary from the Grain Garden. As long as the grain yield remains high, he can rely on the Grain Garden to obtain funds and titles.

Putting aside the political ideology of farmers, people do have skills and ideas. What Zhao Si wants, of course, is to recruit this group of talents who specialize in agricultural technology into the grain garden.

He was visiting Tian Xin, a contemporary farmer leader. Because of Zhao Si, Tian Xin shamelessly followed the First Emperor's patrol team. Zhao Si gave Tian Xin a pea experiment. Now Tian Xin has opened up a new world. direction, more or less addicted to it.

"Why is Zhao Shangqing here?" Tian Xin smiled and saluted.

Tian Xin had a very good impression of Zhao Si, or in other words, since Zhao Si successfully promoted the reduction of corvee and taxes, most court officials had a very good impression of Zhao Si.

Not to mention, from a farmer's perspective, Zhao Si was able to do the farming himself and increase Da Qin's grain output.

"Sir, why should you be so polite?" Zhao Si smiled and helped Tian Xin up.

"I came here this time to invite my husband to come out." Zhao Si said with a smile on his face.

"Shangqing already has so many clients, so why come here to force me, an old man who is dying soon?" Tian Xin shook his head.

Since being forced to resign, Tian Xin has no desire for officialdom.

Tian Xin is very aware of the disadvantages of the farmer, but he is just unwilling to give up this persistence.

Those who engage in academic research should not be moved by external things. The only thing they insist on is the firm truth in their own hearts.

It can be said that peasant ideas are not in line with politics, but from the perspective of people at the bottom, we cannot say that peasant ideas are wrong.

"Sir, you are wrong. I don't want to ask you to be my disciple to help me, but I want to ask you to serve as an official and benefit the people!" Zhao Si bowed and saluted.

"I'm not good at being an official." Tian Xin shook his head.

His thoughts and personality were like that, and it was unrealistic to change them. As an official, there were too many things that he couldn't stand, so why bother Zhao Si.

"Mr. Wuguyuan must have heard about it." Zhao Si smiled.

"All the food in the world comes from this." Tian Xin nodded.

Because he was far away from the court and had no upper-level connections with the farm, although Tian Xin was a leader of a school, he actually didn't have many channels for information, so he didn't know much.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to serve as a civil servant for the cultivation of two thousand stones, to take charge of the grain garden, and to manage the subordinate officials. They will be set up by me, and the salary will be provided by the court. I would like to invite Mr. and even Mr.'s disciples and all the people in the world who have research and knowledge of agriculture. Scholars who study deeply enter the grain garden and specialize in farming." Zhao Si got straight to the point.

"Shouldn't Jiu Qing be in charge of agricultural affairs?" Tian Xin frowned. He had done this job before and was responsible for the world's agricultural affairs. He also retired from this position.

"It's different. Now the mission of the Five Grain Garden is to be responsible for supplying grain seeds to the world and researching techniques to increase grain production." Zhao Si shook his head.Tian Xin understood immediately that he had no personnel rights and was solely responsible for development, creation and research.

This also means that there are basically no political rights.

"Not only that, there is also an animal garden, which is actually dedicated to raising and domesticating livestock... It's just that the animal garden is different from the grain garden, and we can't get anything out now..."

Tian Xin nodded and understood.

The Beast Garden was not built by the First Emperor to satisfy his own pleasure. Like the Grain Garden, it was also the result of scientific research.

"Both the Grain Garden and the Animal Garden, most of them cannot be involved in political affairs. To be honest, I plan to propose to Your Majesty the establishment of a craftsmanship bureau in the future, with people who are skilled and dedicated to improving the world's utensils. Something like this The positions have no real power, but the salary will naturally be generous, and the promotion of the title depends on the performance, and there is no need to go through the evaluation of the three gongs and nine ministers." Zhao Si said.

"Is it the same as Black Ice Platform?" Tian Xin pondered for a moment and asked.

The Black Ice Platform is independent of the Sangong and Jiuqing. It has its own system of title and treatment. Its rights do not involve the Sangong and the Nine Qings. Likewise, the Sangong and the Nine Qings have no control over the Black Ice Platform.

However, Heibingtai still has real power no matter what, but what Zhao Si means is that whether it is the Grain Garden, the Animal Garden, or the Craftsman Bureau that may be formed in the future, they may not have any real power and can no longer be involved in political affairs.

To put it bluntly, it only talks about treatment and not about rights.

Being an official is not much different from not being an official.

This is really a difficult decision for Tian Xin to make.

The purpose of establishing any doctrine must be to make the doctrine visible to the world.

Farmers are good at farming, and Mohists are good at work, but farming is not the core for farmers and Mohists. The core is ideological and political views.

Giving up real power, becoming a bird in a cage, and focusing on craftsmanship and skills are tantamount to giving up the basics and chasing the weak.

Of course, there is also an advantage.

This will greatly improve the current plight of farm disciples.

Although there is no real power, the treatment is genuine here.

And what we do is indeed beneficial to the country and the people.

But this decision is still difficult to make.

"Is there no room for change?" Tian Xin frowned.

Zhao Si shook his head.

This is protection of scientific researchers, not distrust.

If you engage in science and technology, just engage in science and technology honestly. If you dream about controlling power and realizing theoretical ideals all day long, it will become an obstacle to scientific and technological progress.

Moreover, the ideas and theories of the peasants and Mohists were too advanced.

"This is a serious matter, please allow me to think about it carefully for a moment." Tian Xin frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"We haven't decided yet. Why don't you, sir, lead your disciples into the Grain Garden first? When the decision is made in the future, if you don't want to, you can withdraw at any time." Zhao Si said.

Tian Xin pondered for a moment, nodded, and then said, "Apart from the Grain Garden, does the Beast Garden need manpower?"

"Of course it's lacking..." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"I just don't know which school of thought is responsible for raising livestock..."

Tian Xin smiled when he heard the sound.

"Three animals and six animals are also farming..."

Zhao Si looked slightly embarrassed when he saw Tian Xin's smile.

In this era, agriculture and animal husbandry have not yet been separated.

(No more…there have been some problems with the plot recently, so I’m going to speed it up. I’ll reflect on it.)
