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

When Zhang Han arrived, Ying Zheng had not yet gone to bed.

He is reading the message from Xianyang...

All the discussions between Fusu and his ministers in the room were recorded and passed to Ying Zheng...

"Hahahahaha!"

"Good good!"

"You are worthy of being my son!"

"Inner saint and outer king, not bad, not bad."

Ying Zheng laughed heartily.

After the eastern tour, Ying Zheng felt that his life suddenly became brighter.

Originally, he was overwhelmed by the burden of carrying the entire Qin Dynasty forward, but now, he suddenly felt that he had someone to succeed him, and Fusu's ability had reached the point where he could directly share the burden with him!

The pressure was relieved instantly!

Looking at the ways of being a sage inside and a king outside recorded on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng was also deeply touched.

He has his own path, but he is not paranoid.

Before, because of Fusu, Ying Zheng hated Confucianism to the core. But when he found out that all this was just an appearance and Fusu was hiding his own strategy, Ying Zheng's rejection of Confucianism was not so strong.

What Fusu said made sense, and Ying Zheng was convinced.

He is a tyrant in the rumors, but he is not a stubborn person. Ying Zheng is willing to listen to advice, but it depends on whether your advice makes sense and whether it can change his judgment!

And obviously, Ying Zheng was convinced at this moment.

When it comes to understanding the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng is probably the person in the world who knows the current national conditions of the Qin Dynasty best. That is why Ying Zheng understands what these directions proposed by his son mean!

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the fact was that his strategy for governing the country had failed. The Qin Dynasty had countless internal and external troubles. Although he could still suppress them, it was just like Dayu's flood control in the past. It was better to dredge than to block. If it could not be dredged, the longer he suppressed it, the faster it would collapse!

But there was no way. Even Ying Zheng could not think of a better way before this.

But now...it's different! Everything is different!

Of course, the root of all this lies in the two things: the curved plow and the waterwheel.

If there is a shortage of food in the country, all national policies will be in vain.

Looking back over the five thousand years of Chinese history, basically most dynasties were destroyed by economic collapse.

In the early days of the country, resources such as land were distributed to everyone in a more or less fair manner.

Later, the emperor established a centralized system of vertical management from top to bottom, so that the court's orders and national policies could be transmitted to local areas and implemented.

But this creates a problem. The system needs people to maintain it, and as time goes by, people will be corrupted. The people in power in the system begin to become corrupt, so the orders from above are not communicated to the people below, and countless corrupt interest groups emerge in the middle.

A good policy issued by the imperial court may actually increase the burden on the people when it reaches the local level. This is a manifestation of institutional corruption.

In the end, the people were left with no money, the court was left with no money, and all the money went into the hands of the powerful group in the middle.

This has been the case in every dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is a perfect example.

Later, the people began to rebel because they could not get enough food, and finally overthrew the dynasty and redistributed the means of production.

To put it simply, the people rebelled in order to have enough food to eat, and then those who came to power made the new people hungry, so the new people rebelled again at the risk of their heads.

If you observe carefully, you will find that...the key is rice!

Food is very important!

Eating enough is very important!

Now, with the curved plow and waterwheel, Fusu’s first step in solving the biggest problem was to solve the problem of food!

Once the biggest problem is solved, all other contradictions will have time and room to turn around...

Naturally, Ying Zheng also saw this, which is why he was so happy.

Ying Zheng held the bamboo slips in one hand and the teacup in the other, sipping tea and reading the scroll, nodding frequently and applauding from time to time...
