Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 107 Merit lies in the country, benefits lie in the future, who needs money?
Recalling, when I first saw the group of elites from the Qin Dynasty, although they were tired, they all looked like tigers.

As a result, cooking a meal for them can move them from tigers to kittens to tears.

You know, all the soldiers of Daqin are not afraid of death, and they can throw their heads and blood for Daqin at any time.

However, because of this meal, everyone was moved like that
It seems that if Chang Yu wants to change the status quo, he has to flap his wings harder.

To change history, start by sweeping the aliens.

Place the battle flag of Great Qin everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Let the soldiers and even the people of Daqin live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

"Your Majesty, now that we have sweet potatoes and potatoes, our Great Qin Dynasty will strengthen the country with agriculture. After spreading them out, I believe we will have a bumper harvest within three years."

"During this period of time, if we train our Great Qin soldiers, nothing will be a problem for the Xiongnu, Baiyue or even the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!"

At breakfast the next day, father and son Wang Jian and Wang Ben yelled with potatoes and sweet potatoes respectively.

When the others heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Both of them are military generals, the starting point is to fight, but it is as they said.

The First Emperor didn't speak, and glanced at Chang Yu who was dozing on the table: "Sir, what's your opinion?"

Usually when they said this, Chang Yu would refute a few words.

At this moment, Chang Yu was not retorting, and Shi Huangdi was not used to it.

Based on his understanding of Chang Yu, he would definitely be able to interject a few words on this kind of topic.

Chang Yu was tired yesterday, and he just fell asleep at dawn and got up again to make breakfast for him.

She was dozing off at the moment, and she didn't hear Shi Huang's voice, but was woken up by Wang Shuyi.

"What do you do, what else do you want to do!"

Really, sleep without letting people sleep?

Do you really think that I am your nanny and must take care of your daily life? !

"Forehead"

Everyone watched Chang Yu complaining and getting mad.

This kid is a little angry when he wakes up!

"Cough cough,"

Shi Huang coughed twice in embarrassment.

Only then did Chang Yu come back to his senses, and stared at Shi Huangdi with a deep breath.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let the fart go!"

He is sleepy, if he has nothing to say, Chang Yu will go back to sleep.

When it comes to this topic, how could Emperor Shihuang dare to speak!
He glanced at Wang Shuyi. They usually had a close relationship, and only Wang Shuyi dared to offend Chang Yu.

Wang Shuyi rolled her eyes helplessly, then said, "Then what, it's like this"

After listening, Chang Yu laughed disdainfully.

Immediately, all of them cast doubtful eyes on Chang Yu.

I want to hear what insights Chang Yu can come up with.

As far as Daqin is concerned, it is indeed right to promote agriculture and strengthen the country.

As far as Chang Yu is concerned, just farming can improve the country's conditions?
No, no, just farming and fighting is not enough.

"If you think so, you are mistaken,"

This sentence is aimed at, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, those three generals.

Their starting point is good, but the ultimate goal is to fight, which will not make the country better.

Indeed, with sweet potatoes, Daqin can become stronger.

But this kind of strength is mostly just a flash in the pan.

During the war, Sweet Potatoes will also follow them to various places.

You Daqin can grow it, why can't other countries grow it?
Let's not talk about this first, let's say that Daqin is a country that emphasizes agriculture.

After the promotion, the first batch of sweet potatoes is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of catties.

It can indeed improve the overall situation of Daqin, but let your own people eat all the sweet potatoes planted?

All year round, 360 days and five days, do you just eat sweet potatoes?

Even so, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes cannot be eaten all year round. The second batch of sweet potatoes has arrived again.
What should I do if I pile up into a mountain and can't finish it?
Sell ​​to merchants.

Strong agriculture makes the country strong, but wealth can be the enemy of the country.

Daqin should change the current situation.

Slowly transform from heavy agriculture to commercial development.

To get rich, build roads first.

Once the road is repaired, merchants can come in and products can go out.

By selling the surplus sweet potatoes, the common people will have money and feel more at ease. This year's hard work has not been in vain.

Money, no matter at any time, is a very important thing.

You can live without food, but you can’t go out without money to buy food.

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

With sweet potatoes, wouldn't the country be rich and the people strong?
The yield of several thousand catties per mu was unimaginable before.

If it can be promoted, it will surely benefit the people.

The merits are in the country, and the benefits are in the future. Who wants money?
"It's true that you think so."

Chang Yu nodded without denying their thoughts.

Looking at their confused expressions, I couldn't help but feel deeply sad for the people of this era.

"Sweet potatoes can indeed fill the stomach, and can also make the soldiers of Daqin win the battle."

"People do need food to survive, but it's still not enough."

"House, farm tools, salt, and even clothes. I even went out to buy something, but I had no money and had to go home empty-handed."

Can these things be grown by growing sweet potatoes?

No merchants, no money, play with a banana stick hammer!
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was at a loss for words. They wanted to refute but could not find a point to refute.

Although Chang Yu doesn't understand the financial industry, let alone whether Daqin has currency, he knows that without money, nothing can be done.

As far as Chang Yu knew, Da Qin's hard currency, similar to money, was grain and cloth.

As for currency and the like, it is gold.

The first emperor rewarded hundreds of officials, and they were worth tens of thousands of taels!

Although the value is high, most of it will be put in the treasury to eat ashes.

Why?

Productivity is low, high-end consumption is low, and so much money is simply not needed.

It really proves the saying that the rich are filthy rich, and the poor can't even afford steel coins.

In addition, the most obvious disadvantage of Daqin is that it emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business.

The merchants have all gone home to farm, and it is only a ghost that commodities and currency can circulate!

Everyone was silent.

Indeed, sweet potatoes can only fill the stomach.

Everything else has to be bought.

However, if there are too many sweet potatoes, they are worthless.

This makes everyone's thinking seem to fall into a dead end, and they can't get out of it.

"If you develop commerce, what about agriculture?" Shi Huang asked.

Chang Yu chuckled a few times when he heard the words, and asked, "How many people are there in the world who can be an official in court?"

The First Emperor glanced at Li Si, and Li Si hurriedly replied, "There are only a handful of them."

"Are there craftsmen?"

"Very few."

"The same is true for businessmen. Farmers farm land for money and live a comfortable life, so they seldom do things they are not good at."

"Everyone has something they are good at. For example, Li Si is the prime minister of the dynasty. Do you know how to do crafts?"

"will not."

"Do you know how to farm?"

This question should not be asked. Li Si was forced to farm on a desert island.

Before Li Si could answer, Chang Yu changed the question: "Can you do business calculations?"

"."

Li Si didn't answer, even if he was a civil servant, a civil servant who was favored by his wisdom, he didn't dare to say that he could understand how businessmen operated.

At this point, everyone fell silent, thinking about what Chang Yu said.
