Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 106 In the eyes of the First Emperor, Zhao Si has a beautiful face!
The first emperor was not uninterested in what Zhao Si said about universal education.

There are many problems in Daqin at present, one of which is the lack of executive power of grassroots officials after the unification of the world.

The First Emperor was very pleased that Zhao Si was able to see the current problem, but the current Daqin was doing too many things at the same time, especially before the new grain was fully popularized and promoted, so many things were done, and good things might turn into bad things.

There is no good or bad in the conduct of state affairs, and it is impossible to have policies that satisfy the interests of all.

But there must be contradictions in everything that happens, and there are already enough contradictions in Daqin right now, and the first emperor knew that the current Daqin is like a raging fire cooking oil.

As a master of extreme micromanagement, Emperor Shihuang knew that what Zhao Si said about popularizing education to win over poor students had to be done, but it was definitely not now.

What he has to do is to keep the empire at its limit and keep running at a high speed, rather than the contradictions bursting and the empire shutting down.

"The new food has not yet become popular..." Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si and nodded slightly.

Zhao Si nodded slightly, and understood why the first emperor didn't catch a cold right now. It wasn't that the first emperor couldn't see the benefits, but that Daqin didn't have enough background at the moment, and didn't have the energy to do extra things. During Qin Shihuang's period, Daqin had too many things going on at the same time. There are too many...too many, completely at the limit, building everything at super high speed, communicating with the world, unifying writing customs...the first emperor only spent 30 years to do most of these things.

"However, these things have to be produced." Emperor Shihuang pondered for a moment and said.

"In this case, transfer craftsmen from Lantian Daying to Langzhong Ling, and you can transfer craftsmen from Shaofu to use them." The first emperor said, expressing his high support for papermaking and printing.

Just because you don't do it now, doesn't mean you won't do it in the future.

How could the first emperor not want to solve the problem of insufficient executive power of Daqin's officials?

"In that case, can I ask for some title rewards?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Oh?" A meaningful smile appeared on Shi Huang's face.

Asking for rewards before things are done well is not something a minister can do...

Surprisingly, the First Emperor did not express dissatisfaction with Zhao Si's almost outrageous demands, but just looked at Zhao Si quietly, waiting for Zhao Si's explanation.

Zhao Si, a kid, lacks the ability to lead the implementation of a policy, but he can put forward eye-catching suggestions, and sometimes even make the first emperor suddenly enlightened.

In terms of human behavior, although there are often rash actions, there is a limit to advancing and retreating, and will not be rash enough to violate the bottom line of others...

Even the first emperor himself hadn't noticed that the current Zhao Si had an extra layer of filter in his eyes, just like in the eyes of the first emperor, Zhao Si had a beautiful face... Obviously, the first emperor did not believe that Zhao Si would do such a mindless act matter.

Even if Wang Jian repeatedly asked for rewards during the march, it was essentially to stigmatize himself. The monarch and his ministers knew it well, and the first emperor never thought of Zhao Si as bad.

"It's like this, the title reward that I'm asking for is nothing else, but a reward." Zhao Si said.

"At present, although Daqin has a system of rewarding craftsmen, it is too vague, and the maximum cannot exceed No Change, I think it is inappropriate." Zhao Si said.

The state of Qin has rewards for inventions and creations. For example, if some farmers improve their farming methods and can increase grain production, they will be sent to the county government for discussion and rewards.

Some craftsmen can make tools that improve efficiency, and they will also be rewarded.

It's just that the contribution and the harvest are not directly proportional, and the second is that the definition of rewards is too vague, and there is a maximum limit.

The highest reward can only be rewarded up to the title of no change, that is to say, the advanced rewards that cannot be completed up to the level of a doctor, and no rewards will be given if the level is not higher.

This law was enacted by Lord Shang himself. The purpose of giving rewards to artisans who are good at farming is to give full play to the subjective initiative of artisans and farmers, increase food production, and increase the benefits of tools.

Don't give too much, and the upper limit is not changed, because Qin is a country of farming and warfare. After that, you will be a doctor. The title of doctor can already become a young general on the battlefield, and you can also be in charge of a place as an official.

This is a rigid rule. At this time, the official and noble systems complement each other, and you must have real meritorious service to be a general or a government.

Even the descendants of the clan had to join the battle, otherwise the clan would not be given a salary.

If there is no upper limit for rewards for inventions and creations, I am afraid that some people will hide at home in order not to go to the battlefield to find other ways to earn credit. It is not necessary to start from small officials or soldiers on the battlefield.

This violates the original intention of the Legalist generals to start from the army, and the prime minister to start from the state.

You must know that in this era, the big nobles have their own systems at home, and the artisans raised in captivity don't know how many... Give them the opportunity to claim their titles, and there will be generals of the Qin army, county magistrates of the Great Qin, without any grassroots work experience, The phenomenon of taking office directly.

This is the main reason why Qin State is the only country that has a clear incentive plan for inventions and creations, but has not been able to promote the development of science and technology in great strides.

Given the national conditions, there are too few rewards.

However, as the only country in the Warring States Period that rewarded inventions and creations as a clear rule and system that could be implemented in place, the work of Qin craftsmen was far better than that of the Six Kingdoms.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Si invented salt-making techniques and horseshoes, but his title did not increase significantly. At Zhao Si's level, the inventions he made could only be considered as political achievements in the evaluation of the First Emperor, but Cannot be redeemed for issuance as direct credit.

When Shang Yang formulated the relevant laws, he had already considered very clearly that the farming and warfare system of the Qin State could not be damaged in any way. This was the foundation of the Qin State, and no loopholes could be left.

But in fact, from Zhao Si's point of view, if someone can make guns and cannons, improve Daqin's smelting system, and produce blast furnace steel, then it is not too much to be named a marquis.

Of course...Zhao Si looked at it from the perspective of more than 2000 years later, and only then did he know that technology is the primary productive force, while the ancients can only see the present. Country.

Zhao Si actually had a vague idea in his mind. This time, it was just a small experiment, an experiment to verify some conjectures in his mind.

How to stimulate the subjective initiative of inventors and creators must be a reward, and it must be a big reward!

Zhao Si knows the general direction, which allows the inventors of this era to omit a lot of trial and error steps.

Zhao Si can directly point out the way forward for them!
"With regard to papermaking and printing, I want a reward from a nobleman, three rewards from no change, and a lower title. I dare to ask His Majesty to give me the right to do things cheaply." Zhao Si bowed and said.

Through invention and creation, to achieve class leapfrogging, this is something that the Qin State dare not even think about, but Zhao Si wants to open this hole!

Of course...he didn't intend to confront Shang Jun.

Zhao Si very much agrees with the concept that the prime minister must start from the state, and the strong general must be sent in the army, and Zhao Si does not intend to destroy it.

So, is there a way without destroying the farming and warfare system of the Qin State, and without destroying the premise that the prime minister starts from the state and the generals are sent to the army, and at the same time... let the inventors get enough incentives?

Zhao Si plans to do a small experiment!
As a time traveler, Zhao Si is aware of his own strengths, no matter how many books he has read, his strengths are not in politics.

Rather, to promote the development and change of the times!
