Chapter 99: The Reason I Can't Find

The laughter stopped, and Ying Zheng gradually returned to his calmness.

He has never been a person who likes to spread his emotions very much. He has failed to restrain himself today, purely because he is too happy.

He was happy because he had reversed his relationship with Ju Zizhou and turned himself into a person who had the initiative.

In fact, Ying Zheng knew that the most important reason for becoming such a person is not that he is smarter than Ju Zizhou, nor that he is stronger in teaching his own moral principles, but his "position".

Ying Zheng is the prince of Qin!

Such a "position" with a high social status based on Qin, a powerful country that has existed for hundreds of years is the most important reason why he can use his strength to break through his cleverness and directly crush Ju Zizhou's various rhetoric and disguise, and see his hidden true "self".

This position will bring great convenience to Ying Zheng. Even Ying Zheng has always known that when Ju Zizhou designed the future path for him, he was also designed based on this "position".

"No!" Ying Zheng shook his head, he stood up, shook his head, denying himself.

"Zigu." Ying Zheng called out loudly.

"only."

The beauty in a big red dress responded with a sound, holding several scrolls of bamboo slips in hand, and Feng and Ying Zheng were given a message.

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and read them slowly.

"Cultivation of Corn"

Ying Zheng quickly finished reading this article that he couldn't understand, and then picked up another volume of silk book.

"Currency Concentration"

Still can't understand.

Ying Zheng read out a few more books of bamboo slips, all of which were concise in the text, did not involve people's livelihood, and simply talked about the evolutionary laws of a single dead object.

These things...

Ying Zheng walked around the hall, circling around, his mind churning, and the threads of his thinking appeared, but he could never grasp it.

"What the hell is it?" Ying Zheng was in a bad mood holding a bamboo slip.

For a long time, a lightning flashed through the dark night of thinking, illuminating everything.

Confirm your identity!

Yes!

Only then did Ying Zheng gain some enlightenment.

All of these things are technologies to boost productivity!

From corn, to currency, to iron smelting, to the so-called cool water for saltpeter...

Everything is in service to increase productivity.

but!

Ying Zheng's face showed a grim smile without a smile, and his teeth were white, like a man-eating beast.

But Ju Zizhou clearly knew one thing very well, that is, the entire Qin system was deliberately suppressing the progress of productivity!

The farmers' officials will urge farmers to farm on time, and they will not grow enough grain and even borrow grain to farmers; the San Laos will urge farmers to work in the fields and not make them lazy; manure has appeared in the six eastern countries for decades, and Qin is fully capable of promoting it, but it bans the relevant books...

Qin, consciously suppressed the development of productivity and tied farmers to the land, aimed at maintaining the stability of the existing "production relations" in order to achieve the goal of maintaining the stability of the domestic situation.

Ju Zizhou knew this better than anyone else.

But he is still studying various ways to improve productivity.

These things are probably something he had already studied before he made an appointment with him!

Such something that is contrary to the institutional interests of Qin State...

So, is the "position" he preset for himself really just Prince Qin?

Or is it the King of Qin, or something higher?

Ying Zheng opened the hall door and looked up at the night sky.

...

In mid-May, the husband of the Farmers Association began to push a wheeled cart and sell "ice water" at the entrance of the construction site of the copper and iron furnace, one coin per bowl.

There are also grass fans, mats, mugwort and other items for sale.

The Qin soldiers guarding the copper and iron furnace did not stop them.

On the contrary, these soldiers are the ones who drink the most "ice water".

The workers working in the copper and iron stove only buy a bowl of ice water at most when they are off work at noon every day. They drink it beautifully and then have lunch.

Those who really drink more "ice water" are the soldiers guarding the copper and iron furnaces.

The workers have lunch breaks, but they don't have one.

One shift is three hours. Under the scorching sun, just standing in a temporary shed, I feel my skin burning, let alone being on duty who can't leave or sleep for three hours?

At this time, a bowl of ice-cold and cold-cold water can bring a hint of coolness. At the same time, the soldiers will naturally drink a bowl of it as long as the price is as low as one.

However, after drinking this thing, you can no longer bear the harsh sunshine without it.

So one bowl after another became one bowl after another.

At the end of May, the weather became hotter and hotter. When the peasant association was pushing the newly released unicycle cart near the copper and iron furnace to prepare for wine, he was shocked to find that the peasant association husband was also there in the place where he sold his unicycle cart. He stood in front of a small cart and said to the two Qin soldiers: "After you eat my offer, you must introduce the business of my peasant association to your colleagues and ask everyone to buy my "ice water"!"

"Can't you sell more "ice wine"? I can add more money!" A Qin Bing wiped the sweat beads on his face and complained: "In such a hot day, you only brought so little "ice wine". How can you drink it?"

"Can you please speak softly?" The husband immediately grabbed Qin Bing's arm: "Can you tell me this?"

"Swish." Qin Bing laughed: "What's wrong with saying this? Which of the people present hadn't drunk some wine secretly?"

"That can't be said!" The husband of the peasant association looked solemn: "I can't make trouble, I'll cause trouble for His Royal Highness!"

"What a big deal, will you cause trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Qin Bing said disdainfully: "If someone really wants to find trouble, just tell me it. Nai Weng promised to take dozens of brothers and drive people away for you!"

When he was stunned, someone in his ear asked, "Hey, husband, is it "ice water" or "ice wine" you sell?"

...

"...is it?" Yi Ren left a son and the dragon was about to become.

Lu Buwei looked at a large stalemate in the corner, and automatically ignored the wonderful chess that could make him rebel and force Yi Ren into a desperate situation, and then went to a conservative position: "Listen to the return from the people below: There are often merchants gathering at the gate of the copper and iron furnace, and they gathered together, as lively as in Xianyang City."

Yi Ren looked at himself being let down with chess quietly, and felt a little satisfied: "Then, the guards should be asked to arrest him!"

"The king doesn't know anything." Lu Buwei shook his head: "It is precisely because of the indulgence of the guardian soldiers that those merchants have developed to this rampant today!"

"Soldiers condone merchants?" Yi Ren became interested: "Why is this?"

...

Qi Ziyuan knelt down at Ying Zheng's head, cheered up and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince must make the decision for his ministers and others!"

"What's wrong with you waiting?" Ying Zheng asked and answered.

Beside him, Mo Zhe'an smiled at Confucian scholar Qi Ziyuan with a kind smile.

"Let's wait..." Qi Ziyuan's words choked in his mouth.

If it happens to a farmer, it will definitely not be a big deal, but it is a ridiculous thing to be a scholar with more powerful combat power.
