After listening to Ying Zheng's request, Wei Liaozi did not directly answer yes or no, but began to think.
Even in the process of thinking, he would sometimes pick up a pencil to write and draw on a white paper, or look at the latest statistical data of the Shaofu. However, Ying Zheng did not rush him, but instead picked up the tea cup and began to slowly sip the tea.
Even tea leaves and the method of frying tea were introduced by Ying Zheng from other worlds. Perhaps this is the alternative world that is the primary productive force.
Half an hour later, Wei Liaozi put down the pencil in his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty is too anxious. Even if Great Qin's development speed in the next five years can maintain the trend of the past four years, or even grow on this basis, it will not be completed.
His Majesty’s request.”
"Many requirements will take ten or even twenty years to realize. Some requirements may require a lifetime of hard work."
"Your Majesty's starting point is good, but he is too hasty. It is impossible to complete these ambitious goals within five years."
"Take the army as an example. Today's army exercises every three days and trains every five days. It is considered the most elite in the world. But even so, the consumption of the army has accounted for 20% of the imperial court's annual income."
"This is due to the increase in the imperial court's income in recent years. If we train once a day, the amount of meat and food required will be staggering."
"Even if the king is willing to use the income of the Shaofu to support the imperial court, the food can barely meet the requirements, but the gap in meat is extremely huge."
"Your Majesty, don't you think that you can train an elite army by eating only food without meat?" At this point, Wei Liaozi stopped and looked at Ying Zheng.
"Well, what else is there? Please tell me what problems you have, sir. Maybe if you can't solve them, I can." Ying Zheng said calmly.
Isn't it just meat? Da Qin doesn't have it, how can other worlds not have it?
"Then let me just say whatever you want, my lord, don't be angry."
"The sources of meat are nothing more than chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and dolphins, but the requirements for large-scale breeding and free-range breeding are completely different. Various factors are extremely complicated. It is not just a decree from the imperial court that affects the number of cattle and sheep.
It can be multiplied."
"These orphans can be understood, what else?" Ying Zheng nodded.
"As for money, there is new money minted by the Shaofu. There is no problem for the time being. There is not enough food. Since Your Majesty wants to rule the world, no amount of food will be enough. Because in the future, the world will not only include the Qin Dynasty, but also the livelihood of the people of the six countries.
Taking this into account, just having money is not enough..."
Unknowingly, the discussion reached the second day. At this time, Li Si, the Shaofu Ling, and Meng Ao, the Shang Qing, also joined in.
Li Si has an excellent memory and has a photographic memory. He knows all aspects of Da Qin's data by heart and blurts it out immediately when needed without hesitation.
As for Meng Ao, he has more experience and specializes in checking and filling in the military's plans. Various small details that may seem inconspicuous but actually have a huge impact were also brought up by him one by one.
By the third day, the number of participants in this meeting had increased from four Ying Zheng people to nine people.
At night, the rest of the people had left. Under the moonlight, Ying Zheng and Wei Liaozi sat together at the foot of the steps, making final summaries.
"In general, there are many minor problems, but they can all be overcome. The biggest gap is in food. This year's food gap is three million dan, and in five years the food gap will be as high as 10 million dan."
"Yes, the main thing is that the army has three meals a day, and the consumption of training every day is really too great. Even with the Shaofu, coupled with Qin's past accumulation, it can only last for the first two years at most."
"Considering the agricultural officials of the Shaofu, even if they are optimistic, they can only persist for three or four years at most if there is a bumper harvest every year, and they will definitely not last for the fifth year." Wei Liaozi said.
"In addition to the food problem, the meat problem also needs to be solved urgently. Even if we go into the mountains to hunt and fish in the river, without damaging the fundamentals, it can only support the first two or three years?"
"Yes, meat and food are the biggest problems."
In short, the plan is good, but limited by meat and food, it is almost impossible to realize it. Not to mention the consumption of large-scale construction of water conservancy and road construction. In the final analysis, everything is a matter of food and drink.
"There is no need to worry, sir. Let's follow the plan first. We can reform whatever we want. Gu is sir's biggest backer."
"Whether it is a descendant of the clan, a descendant of a distinguished noble, or a local powerful, whoever dares to stop this reform is my enemy of Yingzheng, and whoever is my enemy."
Having said this, Ying Zheng took off the sword from his waist and pulled it out with a clang.
Under the moonlight, the gorgeous sword blade shone with moonlight. Ying Zheng could even see his own face from the sword blade.
"The name of this sword is Tianwen. It is one of the most precious swords in the world. It was also the sword I carried with me before. Now I have given it to you as a gift. If necessary, you can hold this sword and chop first and then play."
"only!"
After seeing off Wei Liaozi, who was holding a sword in both hands, and looking at the moon in the sky, Ying Zheng knew that today was another all-nighter.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his hair. Fortunately, Gu was still young and could still hold on.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng arrived at a secret research base in Shanglin Garden. This base still belonged to the public. It was just not used to study artillery, but to study various advanced technologies related to life.
.
Chalks, blackboards, pencils, white paper, toilet paper, these inconspicuous little items were all first spread from here.
"How are the preparations going?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared a long time ago." Gong Shuqiu patted his chest and laughed.
Now he feels more and more that joining Da Qin is a correct move. This is the luck of the whole public and the loser, and it is also the good fortune of his public loser.
In the past, even in his dreams, he had never imagined that a public loser could receive such love from the empire.
"Look, Your Majesty, these are engraving printing and movable type printing based on the King's secret code."
"The movable type is lead movable type. After getting the secret book given by the king, these are very simple, but there are some minor problems."
"What's the problem?" Ying Zheng asked patiently.
"According to the secret book, movable type printing should be more convenient. However, in fact, engraving printing is more convenient. I thought about it and it should be the reason."
"First, there are too few literate people in Daqin today, and picking movable type is too time-consuming, and there are not enough manpower."
"Second, the number of books that Da Qin needs to print today is relatively small, and the advantages of movable type printing have not been fully reflected."
"Thirdly, if an innate master were to do it himself, it would only take half an hour at most to produce hundreds of completely different and exquisite carvings without any typos."
A high-quality engraving is enough to print 10,000 books, which is extremely efficient. In this case, the efficiency of movable type is not as good as that of engraving.
"Well, I know this. Then we will focus on engraving for the time being, and seal up the movable type first, and then we can develop it in the future."
"Next, you have to create a newspaper called Da Qin Xun Bao. The content on it is..."
