Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

First of all, Feng Zheng was much gentler to them than other dignitaries to their subjects.

After all, it is a labor force that needs to be well utilized, so naturally it cannot be raised hard.

What's more, they can't be regarded as ordinary labor force, but we have to work hard to turn them into multi-functional labor force!

That's right, that is, teach them various skills.

Whether it is an adult or a child, if the child goes to school to learn knowledge, for the adult, then take a crash course, which can also be of professional use.

For example, take some professional masonry classes, carpentry classes, etc.

It doesn't need to be particularly delicate. A group of people has one or two more sophisticated ones, and they can still get the job done together.

In addition, there are many benefits in Chang'an Township, so these subordinates naturally feel grateful to Feng Zheng in their hearts. As long as Feng Zheng has any orders, they are of course willing to rush ahead.

After the ingredients were mixed, the concrete stones were poured out one by one.

These concrete stones have to wait for more than twelve hours to solidify before they can become quite solid.

During this period, Feng Zheng led everyone to attack Mumu.

Axes, planes, knives and saws were handed out.

The crowd was led by Feng Zheng and began to saw wood.

According to the outline on Feng Zheng's sketch, he wanted to make discs of different sizes.

Of course, this has a professional name called, waterwheel!

This is also the purpose of Feng Zheng's construction of this project. He wants to build a large dam on the banks of the Weishui River, relying on water energy to pull the waterwheel and provide huge kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy directly provided by water energy is of course inferior to electric energy in terms of convenience and distance.

However, Feng Zheng currently has no idea of ​​developing electric energy.

No way, the overall material and environment are not suitable.

Moreover, the span of electric energy is too large. Only when the commodity and commercial level reach a certain level can there be a large market.

For example, there are only a handful of electrical appliances that Feng Zhengneng can invent nowadays, and the basic significance is not great.

Moreover, apart from him, the more complicated principles and equations of electricity cannot be mastered in a short time.

In addition, there is also the safety of anti-electricity, which cannot be ignored.

Therefore, this thing must be followed up.

How simple is water energy compared to electricity?

After building a dam, using the difference in water energy from top to bottom to drive a row of huge waterwheels to absorb huge water energy, it can actually play a big role.

Moreover, since it is used nearby in Chang'an Township, everything is not that troublesome.

Of course, Feng Zheng didn't directly use the kinetic energy of several large waterwheels on the Weishui River.

He chose a more secure method, that is, to use these water trucks to divert water to the high altitude.

In many places, pools with different terrains are built, so that water energy can be used more conveniently and effectively.

Moreover, when the farmland needs it, it can also irrigate nearby, which is very convenient and efficient.

Anyway, the energy of nature is endless.

These kinetic energy are useless!

If it is used in the factory, those dignitaries and the imperial court have to give him money!

A few days later, Feng Zheng also immediately returned to Yingzheng to start the construction of auxiliary roads in various places.

"Wei Chen, see your Majesty!"

Xianyang Palace, apse.

"Feng Zheng is here? Come here."

"No, thank you, Your Majesty."

"These days, I heard that you are very busy?"

Ying Zheng looked at Feng Zheng and asked with a smile, "Why do you guard the Weishui River every day?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, we are going to build a dam!"

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "It is convenient to irrigate the farmland..."

"Oh? Is it?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You want to learn from Li Bing from Shu?"

"Your Majesty Shengming..."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "But it's not just that..."

"Not just?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this dam is just one of the farmlands, not the main one."

Feng Zheng said, "The subject wants to use the power of the water to do some pulling, which can save a lot of effort."

"Is it?"

Water, do some pulling, to save people's strength?

Moreover, can you save a lot?

After Ying Zheng heard this, he was suddenly curious, "Water can replace people? But what?"

"Your Majesty, the simplest reason is, isn't it just to save some manpower by transporting food, grass and materials like the Lingqu to the south built by His Majesty?"

"Oh? You mean the water boat?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng understood a little bit, "Water boats can indeed save some manpower. After all, the south is mountainous and the roads are rugged, which is not conducive to the passage of carriages and luggage. Human way."

That's right, the construction of Lingqu is certainly not as famous in history as the Great Wall.

However, its role cannot be underestimated.

If it weren't for the Lingqu, how much manpower and time would be spent on the luggage and food going south due to the bumps.

"Hehe, then your dam is different from Lingqu?"

Ying Zhengxin said, you don't need to go over mountains and ridges, but use it nearby, you don't need a boat at all!

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Feng Zheng said, "I intend to use the water power of these dams to move factories and other equipment. For example, the Ferris wheel that I have shown His Majesty is to be powered by water."

"Ferris wheel?"

Ying Zheng was surprised when he heard this, "Then it can also use water?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, of course."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "At that time, water can be used to move it, saving nearly a hundred people's effort!"

"Huh? That's a novelty!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's a lot of strength!"

Saving the effort of a hundred people was considered a great deal in ancient times.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "It should not be too long before I return after building the auxiliary road. Your Majesty will be able to see it then."

"OK!"

Ying Zheng smiled, nodded, and then asked, "You said you need 200 million shi of grain to build the auxiliary road. How many people are you going to hire?"

"Your Majesty, I have an idea in my heart..."

Feng Zheng said, "I think about it, I can't hire a group of people to the end."

kindness?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "This is what I think. Use this opportunity to allow more people to participate. Everyone can receive a ration of the court. We can't just make someone tired or fatten up, but to achieve a The effect of rain and dew evenly spreading."

"Oh? Hehe, I understand..."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You want to take this opportunity to benefit the people, right?"

Chapter 491 Stability is the soil that breeds business

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "First of all, it is the land of Wang Ji, all of which are in Guanzhong. I plan to spend 100 million shi of grain and employ about 30 people in total. In this case, each person can get about three shi of grain.

Moreover, it is not very busy with farming now, and it will not delay the farming season.Everyone, working for a few days, can receive three stones of food, which is very precious to his family! "

"Well, you have such thoughts..."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's very good... But, three stones per person, isn't it too much?"

Three stones per person is enough for an ordinary person to eat for several months, even half a year!

Is this a bit off?

This is also a question that Ying Zheng, in his position, has to consider.

It is a good thing for the common people to benefit one side, and the common people, but for the whole Great Qin, isn't this kind of effort unnecessary?

After all, the land of Wang Ji was not affected by the disaster either!

There are so many places where the court’s food can be used, and the people have not been affected by the disaster, is it the most meaningful to distribute the food to them in such a large amount?

In Ying Zheng's eyes, what the court needs is reason, not mercy.

This is not ruthless and inhumane, but the greatest benevolence for the sake of the overall situation!

To save one person is righteousness, to save ten people is to be a hero, to save ten thousand people is to be holy, and to save millions of people is to be a king.

Sitting in the position of Yingzheng, if one only considers the gains and losses of one person, the interests of a group of ordinary people, then it is destined not to achieve great things.

Kindness does not control soldiers and righteousness does not control wealth. As a king, it is the most unprincipled kindness and righteousness.

"Your Majesty, this time, I have also considered these things..."

Feng Zheng said, "However, I still think that this food can be spent, and it is also useful."

"Oh? Why?"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, Xianyang City is the most benevolent area under the foot of the Son of Heaven. This Wangji covers the entire Guanzhong. If the people in these places are not wealthy and do not participate, then it is impossible to rely solely on Xianyang City to support merchants."

Feng Zheng said, "So, we have to find a way to let these common people participate. Only those who benefit can think more about profit.

As for the people, what they are looking for is actually a wealthy person with enough food and clothing.If you solve this problem for them, they will have energy, time and thoughts to devote to other places.

For example, working and doing business.The more people involved, the more prosperous the business will be.If you get involved too much, it won't be easy if you want to get out!Otherwise, we will not be able to do much business in Daqin if we guard only one city of Xianyang. "

kindness?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment.

It turned out that Feng Zheng planned this way?

Let more people have no worries about food for the time being, so that they can have their minds, let go of their hands and feet, and join in business?

There is some truth to this...

Just like the migrant workers in modern society, what is the purpose of migrant workers going to cities to work?

For food and clothing?

Yes or no, if it is primary food and clothing, then in most cases, migrant workers can solve the problem by farming in their own homes.

However, if the upper limit of food and clothing is raised, and the standard is raised, in order to make a better living, then they have to go to the city to do other jobs.

Because the general environment has guided them to a higher level and advertised a more reasonable way of life. When this way is marked as normal, countless people will flock to it for this.

And when this situation, with struggle and hard work, becomes the norm, then those who have not achieved it will have a sense of urgency and urgency.
