Li Yang smiled, but did not directly answer Li Si's question, but asked: "The grain production of Daqin has tripled now. As long as there is no major natural disaster in the future, will there be no worries about food and clothing?"

Everyone nodded and Ji Kai said, "The improvement of plowing tools will not only speed up the cultivation efficiency, but also expand the area of ​​new crops in the future. There will be no worries about food problems."

Li Yang said again: "The food problem has been solved. Will the next step for me, Daqin, develop the economy and make me, prosperous and strong?"

Everyone nodded again, saying that it was right.

"Taifu, Gu is a little dizzy. You want to develop the economy, but you use the whole country's efforts to build the canal. This... Gu always sounds contradictory. The canal project is huge, and it is unimaginable whether it is financial, material, or human resources. In this way, it is not easy to bear the strength of the whole country, and at the same time, it becomes even more difficult to develop the economy." Fusu became a little confused the more he heard it and couldn't help but say.

Ji Xie nodded slightly, but was puzzled by this and said, "Yes, the confusion of the eldest son is also the confusion of the lower officials."

Li Yang looked at everyone and found that they were all puzzled by it.

So he couldn't help but smile and said, "I ask you, the improvement of plowing tools not only accelerates the efficiency of farming, but also saves manpower. With the cultivation of new crops, the yield is gratifying, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. Will they become idle?"

"this……"

Everyone was stunned and Ji Kai said, "In the past, people used hoes as tools to cultivate land. Now, a plow and a cattle can satisfy the labor of the past five people. In addition, the gratifying output of new agricultural work, if the people only seek food and clothing, there is really nothing to do during the slack season."

"Since one plow and one ox can now be worth the five-person labor force in the past, and so four-person labor force, the Qin Dynasty is not short of manpower at present." Li Yang glanced at everyone and then continued: "And you have thought that if the Qin Dynasty wants to develop the economy, handicrafts and commerce are means, but the people have no money, who will this commodity be sold to? The people have no money to buy goods and improve their lives. In turn, which businessman will produce and operate? In this way, how can the Qin Dynasty's economy develop and achieve prosperity and prosperity?"

"This..." Everyone was asked back by Li Yang again, and the question was speechless.

Yes, if people don’t have money, they will naturally be unable to buy goods. If no one buys goods, they will naturally be willing to produce and operate, and the economy will not be able to develop.

This series of questions made everyone confused and didn't know how to solve it.

Ji Kai said: "What should I do?"

Li Yang smiled: "Building a canal can solve these troubles."

"Ah?" Fusu was surprised by this first.

However, Ji Kai, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, first reacted and said, "What sir means is... let the extra labor build the canal and make money to consume?"

"That's right! That's exactly what it means!"

Li Yang glanced at Ji Kai with appreciation. This person could understand at one point. Obviously, he was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, but he was using the right person.

"Miscellaneous, it's really wonderful!"

At this time, the other few finally realized it and immediately applauded.

Li Si said: "When the king said something, it really makes people feel like they are clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, making people suddenly enlightened! It's wonderful, it's really wonderful."

Fusu also had his eyes lit up and praised: "How come the way of the Taifu, why didn't Gu expect that the people would make money by building canals, and with money, they would have the ability to buy goods. In this way, the entire Qin Dynasty economy will be revitalized, hahaha."

"I am a rare talent in governing the country, and my subordinates are extremely impressed. Today, being able to listen to my words will make me enlightened and have great enlightenment for governing the country today. This is really an honor for us to be subordinates. I think it must be because of the three generations of our ancestors who have had a high fever that has achieved great luck today." Xiao He, Zhang Cang and Han Xin simply flattered shamelessly.

Li Yang: "Get out!"

Suddenly, everyone laughed.

In the eyes of Li Si and others, Li Yang is indeed a talented man in governing the country.

But in Li Yang's view, there are a lot of these means of stimulating the economy, all of which are ready-made in later generations.

In the society he traveled through time, the domestic economy needs to grow? Do infrastructure!

Domestic economy needs to develop? Do infrastructure!

Domestic economy wants to promote domestic demand? Do infrastructure!

In short, infrastructure construction was so perfect that it was played. At this time, Li Yang was just borrowing it.

Putting away his smile, Li Yang said: "When people make money by building canals, they will naturally want to improve their living standards, buy new clothes, new furniture, and eat big meat. Seeing that others live so happily, others will naturally keep up, so the entire Qin society will strive for progress and will not lose their ambition just because there is enough food. Only in this way can our Qin Empire continue to develop and become stronger."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Fusu said: "So, building a canal will not only not waste the people and the money, but will be quite beneficial to our Daqin."

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, as long as the labor force for building the canal is balanced with the labor force for farming, it will definitely not cause any result of the people's and the money."

Everyone nodded in agreement again.

In Li Yang's view, China in the 21st century did not cause any waste of money and money in the people. Why did large infrastructure in ancient times become the result of waste of money and money in the people? It even caused civil strife?

The ultimate crux of the problem is that in ancient times, the country carried out large-scale infrastructure construction, which was corvee service and had no wages.

In other words, the people were arrested to perform labor and work hard labor. The people were suffering so much that they would naturally rebel.

More importantly, it would be fine to let the people work in vain. This has been done for several years. Moreover, because the number of corvee workers is too large and the labor force for farming has decreased, resulting in a large reduction in grain production. In addition, the project is huge and the country's financial resources are limited, so they have to increase taxes on the people. In this way, even the people who farm are overwhelmed, and the final outcome is only civil strife.

Isn’t that the way Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall at the beginning?

The world of Qin is thousands of miles away, with fertile fields and weeds everywhere, and all the people are driven to serve labor service. Can Qin never end in this way?

Li Yang's method is to use large infrastructure to ensure employment and promote development, so as to achieve the grand goal of improving the living standards of the whole people, which is essentially completely different from ancient large infrastructure.

In order to make Fusu, Li Si and others have advanced ideas on governing the country.

Li Yang then explained and analyzed the principles of why infrastructure construction is conducive to promoting social production development and improving people's living standards one by one, which made Fusu and others' eyes shine and their hearts suddenly clear.

Li Yang's advanced governance philosophy has to be said, which made them feel a broad-minded experience.

After listening to Li Yang's advanced ideas, Fusu immediately said: "The Taifu's words are better than studying for ten years. It is really a blessing for me to be with me to learn politics by my side. I decided that this canal must be built, and I must be built!"
