Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

Although Chen Qing is perverse and domineering, his words do seem to make sense.

"I don't know why Young Master Chen talked about him so much."

"What you said earlier is about farming, but you are rambling on and confusing people's hearts, and you don't know what you are trying to figure out?"

Li Si spoke coldly.

"Ah."

Chen Qing sneered: "Li Xiang is old, he probably lost his mind."

"Then I will sum it up."

"Whether it is farming or military affairs, in the final analysis, it must be supported by a strong industry."

"Take a step back and talk about farming."

"Although the imperial court distributes agricultural tools, the management is very strict."

"Every piece of farm equipment must be engraved with a number. If it is lost, a large sum of money needs to be compensated."

"Even if it is damaged, it needs to be compensated at a discount."

"This has led to the common people treating agricultural tools as treasures, being cautious, and not daring to use them for heavy and hard work."

"Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

Ying Zheng suddenly said, "Then what do you think?"

Chen Qing replied immediately: "Farm tools should be like Chinese cabbage, no, they should be like wild vegetables on the dining table."

"It doesn't cost much, ten catties of wheat for a hoe and a plowshare."

"Just replace it after it's worn out. You don't need to feel bad. You can use it however you want."

"In this way, the efficiency of farming will inevitably increase significantly."

"Also, Qin land is mostly dry land, which is inconvenient to irrigate."

"I heard that in inferior fields, the harvest per mu is only a dozen catties of grain."

"It's ridiculous!"

Chen Qing held his head high and said, "The waterwheel can not only be used for grinding flour, forging copper and iron, but also for irrigation."

"The water of the Weihe River flows endlessly."

"As long as there are enough water trucks, every field can be watered."

"When the lower field is changed to the upper field, the yield per mu will not only increase tenfold?"

Li Si flicked his sleeves: "It's ridiculous!"

"Copper and iron are all mined from the mountains, transported, refined, and manufactured over thousands of miles. Do you know how much it costs? How can it be so cheap?"

Chen Qing coughed lightly, and said proudly: "Li Xiang seems to have forgotten that I used to run a copper and iron shop."

"Do you understand or I understand?"

Liston blushed immediately: "You...you..."

Fusu almost laughed, and turned his head away quickly, trying his best to suppress the smile.

"Your Majesty, I think that what His Royal Highness said is very reasonable."

"If you want to strengthen agriculture, you need to focus on construction first."

"The common people can reclaim more fields when they have the tools at hand."

"With the convenient waterwheel, Daqin's grain production will surely double every year."

"I promised His Majesty earlier that Daqin would produce tens of millions of iron swords every year. I was not joking."

Li Si couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore: "Chen Qing, if you can really do these things, the old man will resign from office, so what if you are the prime minister?"

"Hurrah."

"Li Xiang, you said this yourself, I didn't force you."

Chen Qing readily agreed.

"you you you……"

Li Si didn't expect that he would dare to agree, and he did not shy away from revealing his plans for the position of prime minister.

He was flushed and trembling with anger.

All of a sudden, the eyes turned black and stars appeared in disorder.

"Li Xiang!"

Someone noticed that something was wrong, and seeing Li Si teetering on the verge of falling, he hurried over to support him.

"Li Xiang, are you okay?"

"Chen Qing, you are presumptuous!"

"Li Xiang, wake up quickly."

Li Si had a lot of followers, and many of the courtiers and Chinese officials were his loyal confidants. At this time, they gathered together and were extremely anxious.

"What's the matter?"

"I will discuss national policies and major policies, and share worries for His Majesty."

Chen Qinggong cupped his hands: "Unexpectedly, Li Xiang worked so hard day and night that he passed out at the court meeting. I really admire him!"

"quiet!"

Ying Zheng scolded, raised his hand and said, "Help Prime Minister Li go down to rest."

"Chen Qing, you step back."

"Fusu, let's continue."

Chapter 127 I am a People's Entrepreneur

Li Si was hastily carried outside the hall, and Chen Qing also returned to his seat.

Meng Yi stared at him eagerly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

No wonder Fusu and Chen Qing are on good terms, he really dares to go up when something happens!

Li Si was the leader of the Legalists with many followers.

Even the Mongolian, Wang and other wealthy families have to avoid him by three points.

Chen Qing actually stunned Li Si at the court meeting!

"Meng Shangqing, I don't know why you keep looking at me?"

Chen Qing was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and asked in a low voice.

"Uh……"

"I am an official in the same dynasty, and I have the friendship of accomplices in the case."

"Come to drink at the old man's house some other day."

Meng Yi's previous thoughts could not help but be shaken.

Chen Qing is so reckless, and His Majesty has to trust him, it may not be good to be tough with him.

It's better to win over and make friends. If something difficult happens in the future, Chen Qing must not stand up for the Meng family?

"Another day."

"This...it's not impossible."

Chen Qing nodded slowly.

Fusu had already adjusted his mentality, holding the three volumes of planning books, and read aloud: "Fortifications come first, coal and iron first."

"Coal is Shi Nirvana."

"The fire is blazing and lasts longer than firewood, and it is mostly distributed around Xianyang."

"It is estimated that there are 700 million shi of coal in Baligou alone in the outskirts of the city, or about [-] million catties."

"If it is only used for lighting fires and heating, it will be enough for the people of Xianyang to use it for more than four or five years."

The figures were calculated by Chen Qing.

Fusu thought it was nonsense, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought it was nonsense, and Shi Huangdi was a little confused.

Yet this is the truth.

Compared with the consumption in industry, the consumption of burning a fire for heating is simply not worth mentioning.

"There are 60 people in Xianyang, and 40 farmers in the surrounding area."

"About [-] manpower is needed to cut firewood every year."

"Therefore, I believe that mining coal in the first year will consume about [-] manpower, and mining [-] catties of coal."

"If the effect is good, look for other coal mines in the coming year and start construction at the same time as Baligou, and the output will increase year by year."

"Five years later, Daqin's coal output will be about 20 jin, basically replacing firewood for heating."

"Let the people no longer suffer from freezing to death, and at the same time save millions of manpower."

Before the words fell, there was a loud discussion in the court.

Most of the civil and military officials have never been exposed to such a huge astronomical figure, and their minds can't turn around for a while.

The most direct feeling is - I can't believe it!

"Fusu, are you serious?"

Ying Zheng was asking about his son, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Qing.

"Naturally, I dare to guarantee it with my life."

Fusu saw the raging flames of coal burning with his own eyes, and also visited Baligou on the spot. With his trust in Chen Qing, he spoke loudly.

Chen Qing nodded slowly, proving that what he said was true.

Ying Zheng suddenly had a clear mind, and his face unconsciously revealed an excited look.

Save millions of manpower!

Unexpectedly, a small coal mine can have such a miraculous effect!

"His Royal Highness, don't speak nonsense."

"If it spreads out, I'm afraid it will damage the royal prestige."

A seasoned and dignified Yushi doctor reminded him neither humble nor overbearing.

"I don't dare to say that I'm [-]% sure, but there are always eighty or ninety percent."

"Even if it doesn't reach 20 catties in five years, at least half of it can be completed."

Fusu's posture was equally tough.

Without Li Si as the backbone, the civil servants lost their momentum greatly.

In addition, the first emperor kept silent, they looked at me and I looked at you, and no one wanted to continue to fight against the prince.

"The prince is young and vigorous, and it is not a good thing to set the goal higher."

"If something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it."

"Fusu, go ahead and talk, what else is there?"

As soon as Ying Zheng spoke, the hall fell silent again.

"The quality of Daqin ironware is uneven, and many of them are shoddy."

"Using coal as fuel and water forging can greatly enhance the hardness and rigidity of iron."

"My son believes that in the next five years, the imperial court should vigorously promote the method of coal-smelting iron and popularize hydraulic forging."

"Starting from the middle of the army, gradually replace old weapons and replace iron weapons."

"About 20 pieces are replaced every year."
