Chapter 71 Variables
"There is not enough time." Ying Zheng shook his head.
In less than a year, elite soldiers cannot be raised.
"I think it's enough." Ju Zizhou smiled: "The matter of reclaiming land and turning wasteland into fertile land is not something that can be done in a day or two, but something that can be done in a year, two years or three years."
If it is during the period from the transformation of primitive society to the agricultural society, planting slashes and fire, burning all the plants on the ground, and then planting them for three to five years, and the land fertility is exhausted and abandoned, then it does not take several years to reclaim wasteland, only a fire.
But now is not that historical period.
Now everyone has the ability to develop sustainably, can use a piece of land to the greatest extent and can gain more wealth on the same land.
So who will do those things that are exhausted and fishing in the waters?
"But the process of their land reclamation is something we cannot stop, and the acquisition of more wealth is a bad thing for us, very bad, very bad."
Ju Zizhou was silent for a moment: "Bad things and good things are one. Although they sound contradictory, this is the truth."
"In the process of reclaiming land, they are all gaining more benefits from the outside. During this period, they intentionally or unintentionally relax the exploitation of the lower-class civilians, which can allow them to have a good life for a period of time. Before the new land order is basically determined, before the benefits they can obtain from the outside are still greater than the benefits they can obtain from the bottom-class people inward..."
Ying Zheng nodded.
This is the analysis that is waiting for!
Bad things and good things are one, contradictory, but not fundamentally contradictory to each other...
It's such an incredible knowledge.
How graceful should a great sage who expounds this kind of knowledge be?
The ability to modify this kind of knowledge and mislead my senior brother to the greatest extent without damaging its fundamental principles. His wisdom is also a transcendent that is hard to imagine in the world!
"…The dividends of the times are in front of you. What the nobles want is to take as much dividends as possible. In this case, relaxing the exploitation of the common people, making them see more hope, and making them work harder is the most in line with the interests of the nobles."
"In this case, the time we can actually spend is at least four or five years!" Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng.
He felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
But where does this sense of urgency come from?
Ju Zizhou doesn't understand.
"Four and five years." Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Mo Zhexin told me that it will take at least one year and eight months to build this canal. If it is slower, it will take more than two years."
"In this way, four or five years are enough!" Ying Zheng's knuckles knocked on the table.
"There is one more thing." Ju Zizhou reminded: "Those countries such as Zhao, Han, Wei, and even Qin, Qi, and Yan can send messages."
"What message do you send?" Ying Zheng smiled.
"Send us the news that we are going to build a canal." Ju Zizhou thought for a moment: "Maybe they will send us some useful characters!"
"This kind of stupid thing?" Ying Zheng jumped: "Do you really think they will do such stupid thing?"
"Maybe, who knows?" Ju Zizhou smiled and drank the glass of white water with a sip.
Ying Zheng looked at Ju Zizhou calmly: "I feel that you are like a... a person who knows before, who can tell good fortune and bad luck and tell the future."
"About." Ju Zizhou stood up: "I'll go back first, you have to deal with it yourself."
"By the way." Ying Zheng stood up at the same time.
He grew one year older and grew taller, and now he is no longer much shorter than Ju Zizhou.
"Before this autumn harvest, I want to fight a war and show these people some force."
"It is a good thing to shake off your might and make them have some concerns in their hearts." Ju Zizhou nodded and turned around and left.
Politically, there is no free lunch, and the power of the nobles is used, so we must fulfill our promises to them.
Ying Zheng made a promise to change the local system and used their power to weave a net and strangle Lu Buwei. Then he had the obligation to change the local system from empty words to reality.
The nobles were eager to land, so their patience was not destined to be too good.
One year is the longest time they can wait.
A bumper harvest of 100,000 acres of private land will be a signal.
As for a bumper harvest, is it difficult to create a bumper harvest artificially?
The two brothers and brothers made a surprisingly consistent judgment on this point!
...
On March 22, Han heard that Qin State was about to build a canal about 400 miles long, so Han Wangan expressed his great agreement with Qin Wangzheng's actions.
"People's livelihood is the foundation of the country. The King of Qin is willing to spend a lot of financial resources for the people's livelihood, which really makes me respect it. I am willing to use the fifteen people in the country who know hydrology and have three million yuan to help the King of Qin and build a canal!"
So South Korea sent someone over and gave some money.
Seeing this, other countries sent many hydrological knowledgers.
This is of course a good thing for Qin State.
There are very few water conservancy experts!
But this is also a good thing for other countries!
Because the more people sent, the more they could build this canal in Qin State.
Everyone knows that infrastructure of this level is very consuming manpower, material resources and financial resources.
It also tests the domestic situation the most.
Because this level of waste can easily cause turmoil in the situation and stagnation in production.
Production stagnated, and there was no problem with the great nobles and the King of Qin.
But for the common people, it is a big event that can make the whole family starve to death!
This is a secret move!
But this is also a conspiracy.
Because Qin State has started to build canals.
Once this kind of thing begins, there is no turning back to save you.
If you have achieved cultivation, long live the King of Qin. If you cannot, long live the King of Qin.
Everyone is calculating each other.
This canal has also gradually changed its direction with the arrival of water conservancy experts from various countries.
It first became bigger.
The project volume, length, and benefit the people have all become larger.
Correspondingly, the construction period is longer, the cost is increased, and the tools and food are required have also increased.
The food is actually okay, but the fatal thing is actually salt.
This kind of small thing, like food, is usually very inconspicuous.
But when used, this small pill is enough to trip anyone up.
There is not enough salt in Qin!
Ying Zheng then sent someone to take the gorgeous steel sword produced by the copper and iron furnace and go to Korea, Qi and Wei to exchange for salt.
At the same time, he began to order the two places of Ba and Shu to extract salt.
The price of salt increased sharply.
