"Generally speaking, it takes one day to cultivate one mu of land, but using this product can save half a day."
"Li Xiang, Feng Xiang, what do you think?"
The two immediately became interested, and hurriedly looked left and right curiously.
Meng Yi was also attracted, he had never heard of such a magical thing.
Li Si and Feng Quji are naturally experts in governing the country, and they are especially concerned about the cultivation of the people.
Seeing such a magical thing, I couldn't help but be amazed.
Li Si couldn't help but began to operate: "Wonderful! This curved plow can also be adjusted according to the depth of cultivation."
Feng Quji: "Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad, turning is also very flexible and light, saving a lot of energy, even the elderly can easily operate it, this thing will definitely be highly respected by the people."
Meng Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter. Even if he didn't like Ying Jia's behavior, he couldn't deny that Qu Yuanli could bring convenience to the people.
As a Shangqing, he has his own pride, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
After thinking for a long time, he said reluctantly:
"Although this plow is exquisitely made, isn't it too late to cultivate it now? By the time the grain grows, the people will have starved to death!"
"It seems that this Quyuanli is useless!"
Ying Jia also didn't want to talk too much with this sour scholar, he had to hurry up and execute the Tweet Order.
He has handed over this matter to Jin Yiwei, and now a notice has been pasted on the gate of the city.
Since the two prime ministers believed that Qu Yuanli was beneficial to the common people, Ying Jia nodded in satisfaction.
"In addition to this Quyuanli, I have also prepared something that can definitely increase food production."
heard the words.Feng Quji and Li Si became even more excited.
"I don't know what the young master said?"
Meng Yi also pricked up his ears. If it can really increase food production, even if it can't solve the current famine, it can make the people of Daqin live better.
Ying Jia didn't want to be fooled either, so she started directly:
"Farmyard manure, every household has this stuff, and it works very well."
"After farming, just sprinkle the farmyard manure on it, which can provide the seeds with the trace elements needed for growth, make the land more fertile, and thus improve the drought and disease resistance of the crops."
"The yield will naturally increase. Coupled with the use of the curved shaft plow, it saves time and effort, and the crops grow faster, so the efficiency is directly doubled."
This……
Hearing this, Feng Quji and Li Si no longer knew what to say.
Meng Yi on the side was also surprised.
Li Si thought for a while and asked, "I still don't know what farm manure is, why does every family have it?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.
She knew about this farmyard manure. The most brilliant flowers in the Young Master's mansion were the result of the frequent application of farmyard manure by servants.
Ying Jia felt that it was nothing, and said without hesitation: "Farm manure is the reincarnation of the five grains that humans and animals eat."
"This this……"
"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman!"
Meng Yi turned his head away with a look of disgust.
Li Si didn't care about Meng Yi's expression, and asked seriously:
"Is what the young master said true? Don't joke."
Feng Quji also asked: "The common people avoid this thing, can it really increase food production?"
Meng Yi frowned and said: "Using the reincarnation of five grains to increase food production, if it spreads, everyone in the world will laugh at it. This is simply insulting!"
Ying Jia was not in a hurry to explain, but just shrugged and said:
"If you don't believe me, you can go to my son's mansion and see that the lush and lush trees in the garden grow so well after being irrigated with farmyard manure."
Li Si and Feng Quji looked at each other, and finally nodded:
"We naturally believe in the son's words."
"It's just that we have never heard that this thing has such effects, so it's hard to accept it for a while."
Ying Jia took a deep breath, she was really stubborn, the common people were going to starve to death, so why are you talking about being polite?
Impatiently said directly:
"You pedantic scholars, you still talk about caring about the survival of the people. You can't accept this. Don't be a prime minister."
"Is it the people who are important, or what is gentle?"
"You serve delicious food and drink at the mansion every day, and you can think of the sufferings of the people there."
"What about the samsara of the five grains? Governing the world is not what is written in the book. What's the use of talking about it? Can it make the people eat enough?"
"Water can carry a boat and overturn it. The people are the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the people depend on food. If they don't have enough to eat, sooner or later there will be riots. Isn't it rare in history that the people overthrew the court?"
"If you don't care about the people, the people will not obey you."
"You don't understand these things, and you keep saying that it is for the common people. How do you have the face to say this?"
"If you really think about the common people, just do what I say and stop talking sour words!"
The more Meng Yi listened, the redder his face became, and finally turned black.
He didn't expect Ying Jia to say such words, and some of them were philosophical words that he had never heard before.
Ying Jia's words, interpreted with the thinking of later generations, are people-oriented.
Don't talk about Meng Yi, the head of civil servants, even later generations can't find any faults.
It's just that the rule of feudal dynasties has always been respected by the royal family, followed by officials, and the lowest end of the food chain is the common people.
Hearing such words that transcended the thinking of the times, Meng Yi's three views seemed to be split.
This is simply treason, shouldn't Da Qinzhi be His Majesty at all?Why can the common people rank ahead of His Majesty?
Meng Yi recalled that he had read so many works of literati.But I couldn't find a single sentence that could refute Ying Jia's remarks.
Let him feel aggrieved like never before.
Don't everyone say that the twelve sons are a playboy who spends his days drinking and drinking?
How could such philosophical words come out of his mouth, the profound meaning in it can be recited through the ages.
Meng Yi's mouth opened and closed, and he didn't say a word after thinking for a long time.
The two prime ministers on the side opened their eyes wide.
Li Si is an important representative of the Legalists, and Feng Quji has been in the court for half his life. They will only put His Majesty's body and the country first.
Chapter 25
Li Si knew very well that now that His Majesty passed away, Daqin was in dire straits.
Outside the Great Qin, there were the hidden dangers of the Huns and Baiyue, and inside, there was a miasma caused by Zhao Gao's party, and the people were even more miserable.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have long been ready to move when they saw that the Great Qin was in a precarious state.
Now these hidden dangers are all on the shoulders of Feng Quji and Li Si, tossing and turning all night worrying about Daqin's safety.
As long as one wrong step is taken, Daqin may be plunged into eternal doom.
Now the twelve sons have proposed a solution, and they all see the hope of Daqin.
As long as the people can solve the problem of food and clothing and have no rebellion, Daqin may be able to survive the crisis safely.
Looking at it now, the key to solving the problem may really lie in the people.
They also realized the importance of the people.
Hearing Ying Jia's words that can be passed down through the ages, it can be regarded as a complete sober for the two prime ministers.
They never realized that the people are the foundation of Great Qin.
Thinking about it now, since Ying Jia stood up, all the policies she promulgated were for the common people.
Execute the Tweet Order to relieve the hidden dangers of the nobles of the six countries and solve the food problem of the common people.
The Abang Palace will no longer be built, and the taxation of the people will be reduced.
Set up Jinyiwei to monitor hundreds of officials to solve the problem of corruption and make those officials who search for people's fat afraid.
The research on Quyuanli and the promotion of farmyard manure are all for the common people.
From this, we can see the twelve sons' philosophy of governing the country: caring for the people.
Thinking of this, Li Si bent down.Respectfully salute Ying Jia:
"The young master is extremely intelligent, and Li Si admires him very much."
Feng Quji also saluted and said: "I thank the twelve sons on behalf of the people of the world."
Meng Yi was still thinking about the relationship between the common people and the King Sheji, and he was still at a loss.
Ying Jia didn't care what his reaction was, and said to Li and Feng:
"Since that's the case, you can lead the 70 laborers to do it."
Li Si cupped his fists to accept the order: "Minister, obey!"
"The Quyuanli in my hand will not be released for the time being. As for when it will be promoted, I have my own arrangements."
"These craftsmen will create [-] curved plows within [-] days."
"After all the construction is completed, Qu Yuanli will be distributed to the hands of the laborers, so that they can reclaim wasteland and plant three thousand catties of high-quality seeds."
"The laborers must collect as much farmyard manure as possible. After the seeds are sown, farmyard manure must be spread."
"Li Si, this matter is entrusted to you. Can you finish it on time?"
Li Si cupped his fists: "I will definitely not delay for a day."
"Feng Xiang, this matter is related to the survival of the people, so we quickly drafted a notice to let the people know how to use the Quyuan Li and understand the role of farm manure."
"Form a department dedicated to managing artisans, mainly to manufacture and research new types of farming tools, and Lu Ban will help you with your research."
"A few years ago, we wanted all the people in Daqin to know how to use Quyuanli, and believe that farmyard manure can really increase crop yields."
"Can it be completed?"
Feng Quji clasped his fists and replied: "Chen, I will definitely complete the son's order."
Today, all the tasks have been arranged, and Yingjia also arranged a team of Jinyiwei to sow the seeds.
It was only when everyone was unswervingly following Yingjia to make a big fight that Meng Yi reacted.
He has been thinking about who is right and who is wrong in the traditional ideas and what Yingjia said. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong with Yingjia's words, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
And he still has a question in his mind, if he asks the twelve sons for advice, it means that Meng Yi's literary attainments are not as good as Ying Jia's.
It's just his arrogance as a literati that made him hesitate for a long time before speaking.
Meng Yi stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said embarrassedly:
"My lord, I have been unable to figure out a reason, and I hope you will give me some advice."
Hearing this, Ying Jia sighed and said, "Shangqing, please tell me."
"I don't want to discuss whether the origin of Great Qin is the people or the king for the time being."
"The most important thing now is to solve the problem of hunger for the people. Today, the son said that Qu Yuanli and farmyard manure can increase food production. Yizi believes in Feng, but he can't solve the current problem."
"When we came, Mr. Feng and Mr. Li said that the young master has a countermeasure. Yi wants to know what the countermeasure is?"
"Young Master sows the seeds, and it will take at least a few months to harvest. Do you care about the life and death of the people during this period?"
At this time, Meng Yi did not show off his literary talents.
It's just that this sour Confucian's vision is too narrow, so he naturally wants to scold him.
"I'm not a nerd, I just know how to apply mechanically from books."
"Quyuanli and Nongjiafei are both planning for the long-term affairs of Great Qin."
