Chapter 238 Business and agriculture are closely linked

"The young master asked just right."

Hearing the careful question from Prince Gao, Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Young Master, don't ask, I'm about to explain it to the Prince."

Yes, it is normal for people like Gongzi Gao to have such doubts.

After all, the Qin Dynasty had been oppressing agriculture and suppressing commerce for two hundred years, and suddenly the court itself was about to promote business, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

It makes too many people feel unacceptable.

Let them pay attention to and participate in the business methods that they have always looked down upon, especially these pampered royal family members?

If you can't figure it out, you will feel instinctively repelled.

However, Gongzi Gao did not show any displeasure or dissatisfaction, but was just asking questions carefully.

This is also what makes him different from others. Although his personality is not as gentle as Fusu, his characteristic is that he is calm and puts the overall situation first.

Even to a certain extent, Gongzi Gao is more suitable to become a successor than Fusu.

However, Qin Shihuang favored Fusu only.

"Please give advice from the Marquis of Chang'an."

"kindness……"

Feng Zheng smiled and said slowly, "Actually, everything is for profit for the court."

To the court, make profits?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, the seventh prince Youlong, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and asked, "The past Shang Yang's reform was to benefit Qin. Now, the Marquis of Chang'an intends to overthrow the law of Shangjun, and also said it was to benefit Qin.

, isn't it a contradiction?"

"Seventh Young Master, this is not contradictory."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Because, the reason for this is that today's Qin, not the Qin of the past. Shang Yang's reforms meant to strengthen the country and dominate the princes. Now, the princes are gone, and many of the reforms in Shang Yang were just for

The rules established in a decisive battle with the princes are not the most suitable ones. From the previous rules that benefited the Qin Dynasty, it has become the rules that hindered the Qin Dynasty.”

"How can I see it?"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Youlong asked immediately.

"Simple."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "At that time, Shang Yang reformed and established a military merit system to encourage soldiers to make military merits to settle down and replenish their families.

But now, there has been no war in the Central Plains for ten years. Can these soldiers still gain fame and fortune by relying on military merits?

Under their military ranks, Ding Zhuang was unable to return home for ten years. Without any extra subsidies, his situation was not as good as that of ordinary households.

This is the opposite thing before the Qin Dynasty was unified in the past."

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Youlong was a little stunned and nodded in panic, "This is the case."

"So, Shang Yang's reforms were in many places, which were very suitable for the Qin Dynasty at that time. However, the Qin Dynasty is different from before, so it is not suitable."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Now, the Qin Dynasty has the world and within the four realms, there is no war. Military power is no longer the greatest wealth of the Qin Dynasty, but also a burden of high demand and high feeding. This is not conducive to

The move of the Great Qin.

However, the Qin Dynasty could not reduce the size of its army at this moment. After all, the six countries had decided to reduce the army now, which is not conducive to the stability of the four sides."

“That’s exactly what…”

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Youlong focused his attention.

Obviously, they all agree with these principles.

"Since that's the case, there will be conflicts."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "The demand for Daqin is large, but the scale of demand cannot be reduced, so we can only find a way to increase output."

"That's the reason..."

Youlong nodded and then asked, "Since that's the case, I'm just trying to find a way to increase grain production, wouldn't it be better?"

"Oh, increasing grain production is the first step."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "In other words, the purpose of raising the merchants is to make grain production more convenient and have more firepower."

"this……"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Youlong was immediately confused.

What does the way of merchants have to do with the benefit of grain production?

Are these two questions next to each other?

"I'll tell the young master like that."

Feng Zheng said, "For example, how can a farmer make him more grain production?"

"For the sake of making a living, farmers are naturally willing to increase their income..."

When Youlong heard Feng Zheng’s question, he disagreed.

"Hey, this is human instinct. However, farmers in the world have thought so since Shennong. But why is it still unproductive to this day?"

"this……"

After hearing this, Youlong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know, I'd like to hear it carefully."

"Because it is not enough to think alone, and it is not enough to have determination and will. You have to find a suitable solution."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "The appropriate way is to let the outside world help him farm."

kindness?

Let the outside world help it farm more?

When Youlong and the other two could not help but wonder.

"What is this?"

"Young Master, you think so."

Feng Zheng said, "If an ordinary farmer goes to the field to farm by himself, which one is better than giving him a cow to help him farm?"

"Of course there are cows."

After hearing this, Youlong immediately said, "The power of cattle and horse is far better than that of farmers."

“That’s it.”

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "So, in the simplest way, the more cattle and horses the people can provide in this world, will the easier it is for the people to plow the fields and get more harvests in farming?"

“Yes…”

"Okay, so we have to find ways to make more cattle and horses, so we have to develop animal husbandry."

Feng Zheng said, "In addition to providing cattle and horses to the people, the animal husbandry industry also affects fur and meat. In order to make the animal husbandry industry prosperous, the fur and meat industry must also provide them with possibilities and conveniences, right?"

"That's the case..."

"So, we also make the fur and meat industries more likely to flourish..."

Feng Zheng said, "Everything, every industry, is closely related, so that they can all flourish. In the end, agriculture at the foundation can get the greatest replenishment and care.

Moreover, this is only a link related to agriculture. In addition, in addition to taking care of the land, there are also caring for people. Therefore, each industry will also be derived from the use of materials and items.

.

And commerce is the best way to produce and distribute these items. Therefore, in order to prevent the world from being short of shortage, the court had to prosper business."

"Oh, is that the reason?"

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, Youlong and the others were slightly stunned.

This seems to make sense...

Although, for a while, it was still difficult for them to fully understand.

"And, the prosperity of this business is not only beneficial to agriculture, but also to the court."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "There are more things in the world and more money and food, so the court's income will be greater. Therefore, can the living standards of the royal family and the powerful people be worse? That's not enough.

How many times the enjoyment?"

kindness?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, the three young masters and Gao suddenly lit up!

This is the case!

"And! And that's..."

Feng Zheng smiled, "Let the royal family manage the money house not only for the court, but also for everyone, your descendants..."

What?

It’s even more for our descendants?
