Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

The words are divided into two parts.

the other side.

Xianyang.

In the palace.

Fusu, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Ben, and other important ministers were all there.

The court meeting had ended long ago, and Fusu kept important officials of the Qin Dynasty for further discussions.

This concerns the daily life and income of 600,000 people, so we must not be careless...

.........

"Master, the preliminary calculation results have come out. If your method is implemented smoothly, these 600,000 corvées will be enough to accumulate three years of taxes for our Great Qin within one year!"

Li Si excitedly told Fusu the result.

Fusu, on the other hand, was quite calm.

Three years of taxes?

is it a lot?

You have to know that these 600,000 people used curved plows to farm the land, and they also provided sufficient livestock for farming and water wheels.

These are all epoch-making products, which is equivalent to using the Qin Dynasty's cutting-edge technology!

The profits created by cutting-edge technology are naturally very considerable......

"Master, if we could mobilize more people..."

On the side, Feng Quji was already getting ready to make a move.

You wouldn't know if you didn't calculate it, but you'll be shocked when you calculate it!

Before calculating the money, everyone thought that 600,000 people were just a drop in the bucket compared to the 30 million people in the great Qin State, and would not provide much help in solving the current predicament of the Qin State.

Therefore, no one was sure about the plan of 600,000 corvées to cultivate the land. Even if there were water wheels and curved plows, everyone thought it was profitable, but without careful calculation, no one thought much about it, just thought it was profitable.

But after actually calculating it, I realized that the profit... is simply terrifyingly huge!

so horrible!

"Prime Minister Li, did you deduct 30% of the reward for corvée labor?"

“Um… this…”

Li Si was embarrassed for a moment.

"This is not taken into account... If we deduct 30%, the income from the cultivation of 600,000 corvées in one year can be equivalent to the tax revenue of the Qin Dynasty for two years!"

“That’s a lot!”

Feng Quji on the side spoke up.

"A lot."

Li Si nodded in agreement.

The left and right prime ministers had always been at odds with each other, but on this matter, they both came to an agreement...

"Master, do you think we need to send more corvée laborers?"

Feng Quji suggested.

Li Si also looked at Fusu.

In the past, no one agreed with the conscription of corvée labor, but now, everyone is eager to recruit more people.

These mere 600,000 people can equal the grain collected by the imperial court in two years. Then, wouldn’t 1.2 million be equivalent to four years?

If we use 1.2 million people to move bricks, we will have nothing next year. But if we use these 1.2 million people to farm, we will become rich instantly next year!

"Not for the time being. Building the Great Wall is a big deal. As for the corvée labor to supply the army, we cannot withdraw them. These 600,000 people are enough for now. Moreover, we have no successful experience yet. Everything is still on paper. It is safer to use 600,000 people for experimentation."

Fusu spoke.

"Young Master is indeed thoughtful. I will just transfer 600,000 for the time being!"

Li Si said.

On the side, Feng Quji glanced at Li Si and felt a little annoyed.

Damn it, I was too slow to think and this guy got there first again!

This word should have been mine!

.........

In fact, Fusu was not surprised by everyone's calculation results.

When I took stock of the situation previously, I already understood the advantages of being the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty.

I have two biggest advantages.

The first one is land!

The entire land of Daqin is its fixed assets, and these assets are still in a dormant state, that is, waiting to be utilized. If you want to develop, you just need to make these assets alive and utilize them!

The second biggest advantage is the people of Daqin......

The people of the Qin Dynasty are its human advantage, especially the corvée, which is equivalent to free workers!

With land capital and free labor, wouldn't it be better to just use the free labor to develop the land at no cost?

The collective economy can obviously gather capital more quickly, and the idea of concentrating resources to accomplish great things has long been deeply rooted in Fusu's mind.

Of course, Fusu’s current pursuit is to concentrate his efforts on making big money!

Using idle, undeveloped land and some farm tools as capital, he recruited people to work for him with extremely low base salaries and partial commissions, and then split the profits in a 30:70 split.

This business...is a sure win!

The land is free, and the base salary is extremely low, which is the daily ration of 600,000 people. As for the share...isn't it that the high production efficiency will lead to a high share? Moreover, this share is future money, and there is no need to pay anything now. It is like drawing a free pie. Not only does it not cost money at present, but it also greatly promotes everyone's enthusiasm for production. It kills two birds with one stone!

If the combination of these two, coupled with epoch-making bugs like the curved plow and the waterwheel, cannot make enough profit, then there is nothing in this world that can make money!

The business with no capital is the most profitable!

.........

Fusu was in the imperial palace discussing the details of the farming program for 600,000 corvées with important civil and military officials in the court.

At the same time, the will of the Qin imperial court had already been announced...

At the court meeting, Fusu announced the curved plow and waterwheel to the world, and after the court was adjourned, all departments had already taken action.

One after another, fast horses set out directly from Xianyang, sweeping across the entire Qin Dynasty like the wind...

...........

and counties.

This is a small, remote county town.

It has a small population and is an ordinary city in the Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, at the gate of the county town, a man dressed as a soldier is posting notices...

Many people with a curious mind have already gathered at the city gate.

Looking at the posted notice, I couldn't help but feel curious.

"Brother Bing, what is this sticker?"

The soldier took a look at the person asking the question. He was a skinny old farmer with rough and dark skin and cracks on his bare feet. It was obvious that he was a farmer who had been farming for many years.

"Old man."

A smile immediately appeared on the soldier's face.

The soldier's name was Wang Dou, and he was an elite soldier under Wang Ben. The purpose of this trip was to promote the waterwheel and the curved plow, and to announce these two magical objects to the world. Before leaving, he was personally received by the eldest son Fusu.

Fusu gave specific instructions on how to treat those who inquired.

"This is a waterwheel, and this is a curved plow."

Wang Dou pointed to the two drawings on the notice and said.

"You know this plow for farming, right? This curved plow is an advanced version of that plow. This waterwheel can redirect the water from rivers and streams into farmland. These two items are magical objects for farming, and they were personally researched by the eldest son. The eldest son is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people of Great Qin suffer, so he announced these magical objects to the world and asked us to tell the people that these two objects can be used by the people of the world, and the government can also organize to cooperate in their construction."

The farmers around were all stunned when they heard what Wang Dou said...

The old farmer was also stunned...

"The river flows backwards? The curved plow?"

The old farmer couldn't understand the waterwheel, but he could tell something about the curved plow because he was so familiar with it! He looked at the notice at the city gate with a sharp gaze, then took out a bamboo slip, took out a small carving knife from his arms, and solemnly carved the appearance of the curved plow on the bamboo slip...

He could not read, but he still copied the introduction text next to the curved plow on his own bamboo slips one-to-one...

Wang Dou was still explaining the story to the farmers, while the old farmer quietly left after copying the blueprint of the curved plow....

........

In a small village outside He County.

Feng Village.

Most people in this village have the surname Feng.

“Boom boom boom… boom boom boom…”

"Mr. Wang! Are you home?"

Inside the room, an elderly, dark-skinned man was fiddling with the books on the bookshelf....

At first glance, the old man looked like a farmer, but he was very elegant when he fiddled with the bamboo slips. Two completely different auras appeared on the same person at the same time...

Hearing the sound, Wang Quan raised his head...

"If you're at home, come in."

As Wang Quan responded, the door opened and an old farmer walked in.

"Feng Er? Didn't you go into the city today? Why are you back so early?"

Wang Quan was stunned when he saw Feng Er...

Today is the gathering in He County. Feng Er is the person in charge of purchasing farm tools in Feng Village. A few days ago, the village agreed that if there are not enough farm tools, they will buy some second-hand farm tools during the gathering. Logically, Feng Er should be at the gathering in He County at this moment.

Why are you knocking on my door?

"Mr. Wang, I found something incredible!"

Feng Er excitedly came to Wang Quan, took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and handed it to Wang Quan respectfully.

"Mr. Wang, please take a look. I can't read and I don't have any knowledge. I can't understand what's on it, but it's definitely a good thing! The soldier kid said that this thing can increase the production of our village by at least one or two times!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Wang Quan, who had been extremely calm, suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. His eyes widened and he looked incredulous.

"Increase production by one or two times? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Wang Quan denied it without even thinking about it...
