I was a gentleman in ancient times

It stands to reason that Qin Zhan should have returned to the capital of King Qin immediately after receiving the person himself, but Wei Su knew the importance of Shu.Now that everyone has come, it must be carefully investigated and investigated, so that they can be of value to the follow-up arrangements.

So when Wei Su said that he would stay for a while before leaving for Qin Wangdu and asked Qin Zhan to leave first, Qin Zhan refused.Whatever you say, Wei Su must enter the capital with Wang Jia.

Wei Su talked about everything, and Qin Zhan was petty, and just said, "No! Anyway, we will go together. If you want to stay for a while, it's fine, then I will stay with you too."

Wei Su was speechless, did Qin Zhan know his identity?As the king of a country, how can he be willful?Is it really okay for you not to ask about those court affairs and national affairs?

However, Wei Su also knew Qin Zhan's temper.

Wei Su was annoyed, why didn't Qin Zhan feel wronged?He has been looking forward to it for several years, and finally looking forward to Wei Su's arrival. They have only been together for a few days?We have to separate again, who wants to do that?Anyway, he won't leave Wei Su alone.He can wait for Wei Su to finish the matter, and he will not rush him anyway.

Qin Zhan didn't urge him, but he was dangling around, which was more uncomfortable than urging him himself.Who would believe that the king of a country has nothing to do, wandering around blindly, and even pretending to check the people's sentiments?

There is no way, Wei Su can only make a quick decision so that he can return to the capital with Qin Zhan earlier.

The next day, Wei Su met Sun Zhang, the prefect of Shu County, alone.Qin Zhan's ability to put him in this position is enough to show the importance he attaches to him.

Because judging from the geographical location of the entire Qin State, the land of Shu can be said to be the top priority.Of course Qin Zhan knew Wei Su's strategic plan for Shu, so he fully supported whatever he did.

Qin Zhan sent Sun Zhang to Shu. First of all, he really trusted him.Not long after he returned to Qin State, Sun Zhang went to Qin State under the arrangement of Wei Su, just to have a capable man who could help Qin Zhan.Otherwise, when Qin Zhan returned to Qin, he would be surrounded by tigers, leopards and wolves, so how could he live in peace?Most of the people in the palace cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, so what if they want to please Queen Dowager Zhuan?An unfavored prince, without any influence, has always been unable to move a single step.

With Sun Zhang, there is Qin Zhan's layout in the palace, and outside the palace, he will develop power for Qin Zhan and win over contacts in the court.Although everything has to be done from scratch, there are many difficulties, but it is also a great help.

Secondly, Sun Zhang is careful, prudent, down-to-earth and capable.After Qin Zhan punished the former prefect of Shu, although the head of the local disaster was wiped out, there are still aristocratic families that cannot be cut off.Facing a strategic place full of holes and people living in dire straits, it would be impossible to revive it without dispatching a capable man.

The effect of Sun Zhang's governance in Shu is still very good. In just two or three years, he can recover to the level where the people are full enough, which shows that he has put his heart and soul into it.

"The student has met Mr. Sun Zhang." Seeing Wei Su, Sun Zhang was still a little excited.Tidy up the robes and pay homage to each other.

He is grateful to Wei Su, without Mr. Wei's guidance, he would not have the glory he is today.How many talented people there are in the world, and how many of them can take the position of prefect in a short period of time like him without any foundation.Moreover, I believe that as long as he can keep his original intentions and get the attention of King Qin and Mr. Wei, the future can be said to be bright.

Wei Su waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, you are now the prefect of Shu County. This is not what it used to be, and the future is boundless."

Although Sun Zhang is not good at words, at this moment he smiled and said: "Mr. You are joking. If you didn't mention something, how would the students be today?"

There was no need to be courteous between them, and Wei Su didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated the purpose of meeting him today. "I'm looking for you today for nothing else. You've been in Sichuan for so long, and you know enough about this place. Therefore, it's definitely not wrong to ask you to learn about many things."

Sun Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, sir, the students will know everything and say everything."

Wei Su took out the map of Shu County drawn by others, so that it can be more clearly compared, "As far as I know, this area belongs to the hilly area. These places are the main places where tea is produced in Shu County. Xie's tea base is In this one. Am I right?"

Sun Zhang followed his fingers and looked over, "That's right, the King of Qin has issued a royal decree, which also attaches great importance to the Xie family's tea business. Therefore, a series of decrees have been promulgated. It can be said that many decrees are very important to the tea farmers in this place. It is helpful. Its purpose is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and increase the production of tea."

Wei Su knew this. To be precise, he should have asked Qin Zhan to do this.The grain output in the hilly area is not as good as that in the plain area. If we learn from each other's strengths, it is better to be mainly responsible for the production of tea.There are more people growing tea, and the output has increased. The tax revenue is the big one, which can make up for many deficiencies.Wei Su regards this area as very important, second only to food.

Since the rise of tea, the economy of the land of southern Shu has obviously revitalized.In the past, the food grown by the people here was not enough for their own food, and they had to pay taxes. The rest could only dig wild vegetables and grass roots to feed their stomachs.It was only when the weather was good and the weather was good that we could barely have a bite to eat.If natural disasters and man-made disasters are encountered, it will not be like this.

But now, after Xie's family came, the people here did not expect that these wild leaves all over the mountains could make money.Xie's family recruited a lot of people and spent a lot of money to buy a large area of ​​mountainous land.Later, he personally taught the local people how to plant tea trees, how to pick tea leaves, and then sent the picked tea leaves to the workshop built by Xie's family.

I heard that these tea leaves will be shipped out of Shu after being made by the Xie family's secret method, and sold to all parts of the Central Plains.And these things all over the mountains and plains are very sought after by the nobles of the aristocratic families outside.Often it is he who holds a large amount of gold and sends it to the Xie family.

All the money in and out is money, but no one is jealous, because the local people are very grateful to their families.With Xie's family and tea, they can eat and clothe themselves without growing food.Compared with the previous days, I don't know where it is better.

After Qin Zhan came to power, he strongly supported the tea industry of Xie's family.It can be said that relying on the taxation of tea, Qin gradually accumulated a lot of economic strength.

Wei Su asked many questions about tea, and Sun Zhang answered them all.I have to say that he, the prefect of Shu County, has put in a lot of effort, otherwise he wouldn't be able to answer fluently.

Wei Su was very satisfied. Sure enough, he was right to choose Sun Zhang. "You should pay more attention to the matter of tea. If you have any problems, you should immediately find out and solve them immediately. If you really can't solve them, you can write to me and ask."

"Yes, students understand, keep it in mind." Sun Zhang replied: "Actually, the problem of tea is not a big problem. The biggest and most difficult problem is that the roads in Shu are difficult to navigate, and people need to carry them on horseback. Alas! The Xie family has said it countless times Well, the geographical conditions are here, so it’s not like I can’t help it.”

Wei Su naturally knew, he had already experienced the hardships and dangers of the road when he entered Sichuan.He thought for a while, "This matter is indeed difficult, but I will study the planning carefully. The problem of difficult roads in Shu is still necessary to start planning in the next step. After all, tea, grain and grass need to be supplied from Shu. If If the road problem is not resolved, I’m afraid the future will be tied.”

Hearing what Wei Su said, Sun Zhang was happy, "This is the best," then frowned and said, "However, if we really want to plan and build roads, I'm afraid it will require a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Yes. Having said that, there is nothing we should do less. This is a major event that will benefit the future. After the road is built, it will benefit future generations a hundred or even a thousand years later. We have the ability to do something for our children and grandchildren. Why don't future generations do these things as soon as possible?" Wei Su said.

He has already thought about it. To get rich, build roads first. This is not just a slogan.Its benefits and functions, Wei Su can be said to be very clear.

When Sun Zhang heard this, he naturally thought of the result of doing so. Only Mr. Wei has such courage and can see such a long-term view, right?

This matter is not urgent, Wei Su raised his mouth, and his eyes fell on the map again. He pointed to the plains in the north and thought about it: "The food is mainly grown in these places. I don't know how the water conservancy conditions are in these places?"

Food must be inseparable from water sources. Although the flood problem in Shu today has been dealt with by successive kings, the flood is no longer a problem, but water conservancy is still the top priority.

Sun Zhang took a look and said, "You can rest assured, Mr. Shu County has now popularized Mr. waterwheels. It is very convenient for people to drink water and irrigate. In the past two years, the grain output has increased by [-]% compared to before. This is all thanks to Mr. ah."

Wei Su waved his hand, "It can't be counted as my credit. I know that the King of Qin has made no less effort than me for this. And there are officials like you, or the officials at the bottom. Thanks to your hard work, today's success is possible. .”

It was the first time for Sun Zhang to hear such heart-warming words, and he was moved. He has been in Shu County for two or three years, and of course he knows the hard work of the people and the difficulty of the officials.There are many problems left over from the previous prefect, and the obstacles of those aristocratic families in Shu are not small.Fortunately, with the full support of the King of Qin, after he took over this mess, he was able to sort out the clues in the shortest possible time and put the government affairs of Shu County on the right track.

Of course, he spent a lot of energy in it, which can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted.However, he has no complaints. He knows that only by holding the rear can he let the king and the gentleman look at the world.This is his responsibility and his ambition.

Now that my husband has seen their hard work, and he has also received his affirmation, what more can I ask for?

"Sir, you are overrated." Sun Zhang said modestly, "We are just doing our part."

"With your support in Shu County, I am very relieved. You have to remember one thing, agriculture, the foundation of the world, must not be ignored."

Sun Zhang was convinced, so he heard Wei Su continue to say: "I hope you can run a school, gather experienced old farmers, or young people with quick minds, and let them study and do research."

"Study, do research?" Sun Zhang was puzzled, "Is it possible to study and research like in a school when farming?"

Wei Su smiled and said, "Why not? This is a university question."

Seeing that Sun Zhang still didn't understand, Wei Su further explained: "The old farmers planted according to the changes of the four seasons. The fertility of the land and the depth and distance of crop cultivation are very deep knowledge. Extend it and summarize it for teaching , Keep the good experience, and ban the bad dross. Form a real system of theory and practice, what do you think?"

Before Sun Zhang digested Wei Su's words, Wei Su pondered for a moment, and then said to himself: "It's not enough, we need young people with ideas to train and study. Treat this as academic research, the seeds of improvement. , improve the method to increase the yield of food. Although the process will be long and difficult, it is better than standing still and not making progress."

Sun Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard it. He could understand what Mr. Wei said word by word.But even together, why can't he understand a single word?

Wei Su came back to his senses and saw the bewildered Sun Zhang, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later. The most important thing is to pay attention to talents. No matter what aspect, as long as you have Thought, talent, that is what can be made."

Sun Zhang nodded half understanding, Wei Su sighed.It's a pity that he can't stay here for too long, otherwise he will have to set up a preliminary airs before he dares to let go.These things he said are groundbreaking, ideas that do not exist in this world.Now it can only be said to be slowly exploring, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you can take the lead, I believe that people's creativity is infinite.

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving anytime soon. I'll try to make a plan when I'm here. In addition, when I was in charge of planting tea trees in Lou State, I spent some time and sorted out a lot of useful things. , I believe it will be useful at that time."

When he first made tea trees, he discussed with experienced tea farmers about tree grafting and the influence of soil and climate on crops.In addition, he still has a lot of knowledge from later generations in his head, and the experience summed up by later generations should be able to deal with it.As long as they are led to a correct research direction, the specific Weisu can be left alone, allowing people to diverge their thinking.

In fact, Wei Su also had some headaches, and he still thought that he could wait here for half a year.At that time, the vicissitudes of Lou State will definitely require contingency measures, and if I am here, I can deal with it at any time.If there is any problem, it can guide the direction in time, so that Qin can seize the opportunity to get the greatest benefit.

But how could Qin Zhan wait so long?North Korea-China affairs are still waiting for him to decide.He can only come to Sichuan for a short period of time, and after a long time, who knows if the ghosts and monsters in the court will be ready to move.Don't forget that there is Mrs. Zhuan Tai who is restless in the palace. Although Qin Zhan has temporarily wiped out other forces, who knows if there are still others lurking in the dark that no one will find.

I had planned to let Qin Zhan go back first, but Qin Zhan had many reasons, and even Wei Su couldn't refute.

"You can't let you worry about everything alone, can you? What to do, you can arrange it and give the people below a chance to exercise. Otherwise, if you have finished everything, what can the people below do? Don't give them How can opportunities grow?

Besides, how do you know that they will not do these things?There are so many affairs, large and small, in the state of Qin, and if you have to worry about it all by yourself, how much can you do if you are exhausted?You have to know that the State of Qin is not limited to the Shu County, but also the barbarians on the grasslands, and the oppression of the State of Zou.The issue of armament, the issue of change, these are also the top priorities.Measures need to be taken in tandem and as soon as possible, the sooner the better.I have waited for so long, until this day, sir, don't you want to see Qin become stronger as soon as possible? "

The truth is this truth, and Wei Su also understands it in his heart, but there are many things that others don't understand.Things like Sun Zhang, Xie Zhuo, and Tao Jin are alright, they are all his students.Influenced by his thinking, as long as the explanation is thorough, they can still understand it.

But it is not so easy for others, which is one of the reasons why he is worried.However, after hearing Qin Zhan's words, Wei Su had already compromised, and promised to arrange everything as soon as possible, and then returned to the capital with him.
