Daqin: Compared with his sons, Ying Zheng is jealous

"Is it true that if you help the imperial court to reclaim ten acres of wasteland, you will be rewarded with a plow cart?"

"If you help the imperial court to reclaim thirty acres of wasteland, you will be rewarded with a curved plow?"

"If that's the case, I'm willing to help the court reclaim wasteland!"

"Hiss, although reclaiming fifty or one hundred acres of wasteland is a bit too much, the imperial court directly rewards you with a calf or even a strong working ox!"

"Moreover, it is not necessary for one person to reclaim so much wasteland alone. Several people can work together to reclaim ten acres of wasteland, thirty acres of wasteland, or fifty acres of wasteland, or one hundred acres of wasteland."

"For example, if a family of three or five people all go out, each person only needs to reclaim two to three acres of wasteland, and then they can exchange it with the court for a plow cart."

"Even four or five families could come together, so that each person would only need to reclaim two to three acres of wasteland, and finally gather fifty acres of wasteland to exchange for a calf from the court."

"According to the farming efficiency shown by the plow cart, curved plow, and oxen on the sky screen, even if four or five families take turns using the plow cart, curved plow, and oxen to farm, it will not delay farming at all.".

"It’s great that you don’t have to perform forced labor, but can exchange it for plow carts, curved plows and oxen!"

"His Majesty the King of Qin on the sky curtain agrees with the policies proposed by His Royal Highness Prince Fusu. I wonder if His Majesty the First Emperor in Xianyang will also agree with the policies proposed by His Royal Highness Prince Fusu."

"If His Majesty the First Emperor also agrees with the policy proposed by His Royal Highness Prince Fusu, and then implements the policy of exchanging labor for tools and labor for livestock, it would be great if we could exchange corvée labor for plows, curved plows and oxen."......

The common people from all over the world looked at the sky with envy and talked about it. They naturally knew how useful the plow and the curved plow were for farming.

To put it bluntly, with the plow and the curved plow, their farming speed and efficiency could be increased by at least five to ten times!

That's why they had been frantically surrounding the craftsmen around their village, wanting to ask them to help them build a plow or a curved plow.

However, the plow was okay, and the price might be affordable for them. However, the price of the curved plow was estimated to be something that most of the common people could not afford for the time being, and they might even have to work hard to save money for one or two years before they could afford it.

As for the oxen, even if it was just a calf, it was not something that most of the common people could afford.

To put it bluntly, in this era, anyone who could afford to buy and raise an ox could basically be considered a wealthy household.

Therefore, for most of the common people, oxen may even be a luxury item that they can't afford in their lifetime.

However, Prince Fusu on the sky now gave them a chance to obtain a plow cart, a curved plow, and even a plow ox in disguise.

That is to help the court reclaim wasteland, or to help the court build roads, or to help the court dig and dredge rivers, etc.

In short, as long as they work for the court, the court can directly give them a plow cart, a curved plow, or even a calf, or a strong plow ox for free.

For them, this is just like getting it for free!

As for the labor required for reclaiming wasteland, building roads, digging and dredging rivers, etc., it was ignored by the common people of the world.

Because for the common people of the world, labor can be said to be the least valuable thing on them.

And to put it bluntly, if the court decides to do these things,

Well, let alone giving you the opportunity to"exchange labor for tools and labor for livestock", even if you give them nothing.

Then they are directly forced to reclaim wasteland, build roads, dig and dredge rivers. As ordinary people, can they still resist?

At least before the oppression reaches a certain level, the vast majority of ordinary people will not resist and can only accept it.

Compared with the previous free and compulsory corvée, the"labor for tools and labor for livestock" proposed by Crown Prince Fusu can be regarded as a milestone progress.

At least if they are allowed to choose, they feel that they will have no complaints about the corvée proposed by Crown Prince Fusu,"labor for tools and labor for livestock". In

Xianyang City, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at the left prime minister Wei Zhuang, the right prime minister Wang Wan, the court judge Li Si and other civil and military officials behind him and said:

"Do you think that what Prince Fusu proposed,"exchanging labor for tools and workers for livestock," is feasible?"

Zhi Su Nei Shi was the first to jump out and say:

"I think it is feasible!"

"Selling at a fixed price can increase certain income for the national treasury"

"By exchanging labor for tools and livestock, the imperial court could also acquire more land and farmland, and at the same time build roads, dig and dredge rivers, etc."

"The court only needs to pay for the plows, curved plows and oxen that we originally wanted to introduce to the people."

"This is a hundred benefits and no harm to the Qin State."

The Minister of Grain is mainly responsible for managing the national treasury, including the storage of grain, the storage of money, etc.

As for Zhisu Neishi, Prince Fusu's policy of"fixed price sale, labor in exchange for tools, and labor in exchange for livestock" not only increased the income for the national treasury, but also increased the cultivated land for the Qin State, so that the Qin State would have more grain harvests in the future.

Among them, all the court had to pay were some plow carts, curved plows and oxen.

Among them, the Qin State could directly obtain oxen by extorting barbarians from all directions.

For the Qin State, this was equivalent to free money. As for the plow carts and curved plows, if the cost of raw materials is deducted, and the Mohist assembly line production is added, then the labor cost can also be reduced to a minimum.

Such cost expenditure, thinking of the benefits brought by plow carts, curved plows and oxen, is definitely a huge profit, so Zhisu Neishi naturally strongly supports Prince Fusu's suggestion.

...................

After thinking for a while, the Left Prime Minister Wei Zhuang also agreed:

"I think this method is feasible and can greatly increase the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim wasteland, build roads, and dredge rivers for the court!"

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan looked up at the sky, frowned slightly and said:

"As the saying goes, it is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. If we on the sky implement such a policy"

"If we under the sky do not implement such a policy, it may arouse some resentment among the people of the world."

"So I think, if the"we" on the sky really implement such a policy, then we under the sky can only follow suit."

At the end, the right prime minister Wang Wan also showed a bitter smile.

This feeling of being coerced by the"self" on the sky is not very good.

Li Si also put forward his own suggestions:

"I think we can first select some counties and try to implement the policy of"fixed price sale, labor for equipment, and workers for livestock" mentioned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"If the trial goes well, we will then promote it to all parts of the country."......

All the civil and military officials expressed their suggestions, and Emperor Qin Ying Zheng listened to them one by one.

Finally, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng made the final decision:

"As Li Qing said, we will temporarily select a few counties to try to implement it."

"If it works, we will promote it nationwide."

"Regarding the specific matters of the regulations, after the curtain falls, Li Qing will write a memorial and submit it to me!"

Li Si immediately bowed and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Yi.
