Chapter 44: You are told to read more, but you want to ride a pig
Shusun Tong wanted to leave, but Ying Zheng didn't allow it, so Shusun Tong cried miserably.
Ying Zheng was not very good at comforting others, so he had no choice but to say:
"Don't worry, Qin Feng won't dare to beat you to death as long as I'm here."
Unexpectedly, Shusuntong cried even more miserably.
He knew that Ying Zheng indulged Qin Feng, but he didn't expect that he would indulge to this extent!
What do you mean you don't dare to beat me to death? What should I do if you torture me every day? You might as well beat me to death with whips, wax, oil or whatever!
It was getting dark, and the people who had been busy all day left tired but excited.
Because ordinary people in this era cannot keep up with nutrition and suffer from night blindness, it is inconvenient and unsafe to work at night.
Before leaving, Qin Feng would also give each person a small bag of millet as a reward based on today's work progress.
Although it is only about the size of a palm, everyone is very satisfied.
In the past, people were doing corvées and hard labor, so how could they get any rewards?
Even when we got to the back, we had to carry our own food! This was simply exploitative to the extreme!
Otherwise, the people of Guanzhong would not be grateful to Liu Bang in the future! They raised their weapons and aimed them at the great empire they once protected.
Ying Zheng was a little puzzled by Qin Feng's behavior and asked:
"Why do you need to distribute rice grains? If you really need manpower, I can conscript a group of laborers in Guanzhong for you to use."
Qin Feng shook his head:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It's not necessary.
There is a huge difference between labor and voluntary labor."
"how do I say this?"
"For example, the minister made an agreement with the people that the harvest of 10,000 acres of land must be completed today. If the harvest is completed, each person will receive a bag of millet.
You can report someone who is lazy, but then he won't be able to get it.
Therefore, the daily harvest tasks will be exceeded, and the food here will even be cherished as if it were your own.
Because these grains are the basis for rewarding them! And what I paid was just a trivial amount of grain.
As for labor, it is nothing more than forced labor. Not only is it inefficient, but people will not work hard.
We can only let people supervise the work and use severe punishment to force them to do it. This is a lose-lose situation."
Qin Feng paused and added:
“Wei Chen calls it, work-for-relief!
In fact, the people of Lao Qin are hard-working and will be very satisfied with a little bit of blessing."
Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and he suddenly realized that Qin Feng seemed to have given him another idea!
Outside of the harsh legalist state apparatus, there seemed to be better options.
Li Si looked at Qin Feng with a change in his eyes, which could even be called unkind!
But because the sky turned dark, Qin Feng did not notice it.
If Qin Feng helped Ying Zheng redefine "Yu Yu" and "Moral Muscle", he was cutting off the influence of the Six Eastern Kingdoms on the Qin Dynasty.
Now Qin Feng has reached out to labor and corvee, crossing the boundary of Legalism!
Li Si's expression turned cold. Was it because Qin Feng didn't pay attention and just said it casually? Or was it because you had a deep thought and kept it hidden?
To this day, Qin Feng does not seem to have revealed which sect he studied under.
He always seems to know a little bit about everything and be proficient in nothing.
The so-called "Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult" is probably his cover-up!
Hundreds of schools of thought, Xia, Yu, Shang and Zhou, for thousands of years, have never heard of the existence of such a similar sect!
It can't just pop up out of nowhere, right?
Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked:
“What is the yield per mu?”
The old man Xu Tian came up to him, his face full of uncontrollable joy:
"Report to the king, the yield per mu is five hundred catties!
Doctor Qin’s method of intensive cultivation is indeed powerful!”
Lisun couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Qin Feng in shock.
He originally thought that Qin Feng was just messing around, or trying to use "farming" to get a title, but he didn't expect that he actually made a name for himself!
In Li Si's heart, he became increasingly curious about Qin Feng's origins.
Learn the craftsmanship of Mohism, the farming skills of farmers, the tricks of sorcerers, the doctrines of Confucianism, and the wisdom of Taoism.
Qin Feng, what else do you not know?
Ying Zheng also slowly exhaled a breath, looked at Qin Feng, and said word by word:
"So productive?"
Qin Feng scratched his head and said helplessly:
"There is no way, we can only produce this amount at the moment.
In the future, through continuous selection and breeding, it should be much higher.
Back then, Yuan...my master, the grain they grew could produce a thousand catties per mu."
Now even Ying Zheng was not calm anymore and questioned:
"The yield per acre is one thousand catties?"
Zhao Gao couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Qin, you don't dare to deceive the king! This is a serious crime of deceiving the king!
For thousands of years, the grain yield per mu has never exceeded 300 jins! How is it possible for the grain yield to be 1,000 jins per mu?"
Qin Feng rolled his eyes at him:
"Then I still produce 600 kilograms per mu! Things are moving forward. Read more and ride less pigs!"
Ying Zheng nodded slowly, knowing that Qin Feng could not lie to him!
"The imperial edict is that Guo Wei Liao will lead the Lantian Battalion with 100,000 soldiers to move to Shanglinyuan and burn 5...400,000 acres! And create another 400,000 acres of fertile land for the widow!"
"Your Majesty, think twice... If this is the case, Shanglin Garden will be lost!"
"If it's gone, it's gone! After unifying the six countries, China's land is millions of miles away. How many people can't afford to go to Linyuan?"
"promise!"
Not only Ying Zheng, but also Zhao Gao and Li Si felt heartbroken.
This is a royal garden that has been passed down for hundreds of years! It is about to be destroyed like this!
Qin Feng's eyes lit up at the side, 400,000 acres of Shanglinyuan land! How much meat can this produce? How much fur?
With just one hundred thousand acres of land, Qin Feng made one hundred thousand taels of gold by reselling furs!
Especially the merchants of Qi and Chu were very extravagant and liked these flashy things the most.
The Qi Kingdom has been at peace for a hundred years, and Linzi has become a business gathering place for the seven countries.
Among them, there were crowds of people, sweating like rain, and the bustling scene was like a fairyland on earth! Business was also prospering like never before!
It seems that Guan Zhong established the first official brothel? Hmm... I have time to go and see it.
Qin Feng has already started planning how to convince Wei Liao and everyone will share the money.
I can’t catch so many animals with the few people I have, I need help!
It's not that Qin Feng is greedy for money, it's just that the people under him consume too much.
The food, clothing, housing and transportation for three thousand people, the wages of three thousand peasant disciples, the wages of three thousand Mohist disciples, the consumption of workshops, etc., are an astronomical figure!
Qin Feng is already urging Mo Yi to mass-produce glass and porcelain quickly, otherwise he will end up eating too much!
Ying Zheng looked at the scene in Shanglin Garden with satisfaction, and looked at "Shut up Qin Feng" with increasing satisfaction.
I really did not misjudge the person! You really have some abilities!
"Go back to the palace!"
"Okay! Your Majesty, please walk slowly! Come and play often!"
