Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 129 The Great Qin Imperial Family Is Too Greedy! (seeking subscription)

Fusu's hands and feet were cold.

After listening to Ji Heng's words, he realized that his understanding was too superficial. He only saw the surface of the problem, but did not really understand the essence.

In the final analysis, the new and old Qin people are divided into interests.

If he really listened to it, not only would he not be able to solve the problem, but it would actually bring disaster to Daqin.

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for reminding me."

"Fusu made a big mistake."

Ji Heng looked as usual, just poured himself a glass of wine.

Fusu didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Ji Heng had already given a solution.

It is An Junxin.

Only when the army is stable can the place be stabilized. At present, Daqin has no spare energy to take care of too much, so he can only make a choice based on the severity. Whether it is a new Qin person or an old Qin person, as long as he is in Qin and works for Qin, that is all. Qin people, the court should treat everyone equally.

Only in this way can real stability be achieved.

fair!

It is the greatest act of peace.

Once there is a deviation, it will definitely arouse people's dissatisfaction.

Once again, someone with a heart to instigate it will easily lead to self-disruption within Qin.

There was a lot of turmoil in the state of Qin under the order of expelling guests back then. At that time, it mainly affected officials, but now it affects millions of people in Guanzhong.

If it affects the morale of the army, it will be an act of chaos for the country.

Think of this.

A flash of anger flashed in Fusu's eyes.

He has now realized that most of the officials who told him these things at that time had bad intentions, or were too selfish, and wanted him to pass on the news to the court, and then asked the court to give preferential treatment to the old Qin people. And this kind of preferential treatment often falls on officials first.

In order to seek his own promotion and promotion, he completely disregarded the life and death of the court.

This person really deserves to be killed!

It was rare for Fusu to show a killing intent.

Ji Heng saw the change in Fusu's face.

He shook his head slightly, Fusu didn't understand the pros and cons of it, but he didn't want to say too much.

Fusu took a deep breath, suppressed the hostility in his heart, bowed and said: "In addition to the serious shortage of young people in Guanzhong, I also discovered a serious black and evil situation when I was patrolling the place."

"Farm implements made in official workshops are of low quality."

"When I was in Jingyang, I didn't notice it at first. It was only when I left that I saw a woman complaining in the field. I was curious and asked about it. Only then did I realize the evil."

"The agricultural tools produced by the government-run workshops simply cannot support a spring plowing."

"With a little plowing, it's easy to break."

"When I heard these complaints at first, I thought it was the woman who bought unqualified iron farm tools, but after careful questioning, I found out that most of the official farm tools are of this quality, and I even went to see those troubles with my own eyes I have seen that the surface is very rough, and the hardness is not as good as ordinary stone."

"Daqin attaches great importance to farm tools."

"Iron farm tools are hard, sharp and light, which can greatly improve farming efficiency. They have been promoted by the imperial court. Over the years, the original wooden, stone or bone tools have been gradually eliminated, and iron tools have been used instead. This is why The Daqin Kou Fu is so heavy, the reason why the people can still try their best to maintain it."

"Local food production has increased to a certain extent."

"This is also the effect of iron."

"Daqin's pig iron production has never been high."

"Even so, besides supplying the army, most of the pig iron produced by Daqin is used in agricultural tools."

"The purpose is to improve farming efficiency for the people."

"But I never imagined that the ironware provided by the government to the people would be so poor."

"Hundreds of thousands of pig iron have cast these rags?!"

"It's just insane."

Speaking of which.

Fusu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of anger.

He is really angry.

If Daqin's forging technology is so rough, he would hold his nose and recognize it, but Daqin's forging technology is far better than what he showed, and Daqin also implemented the "Wu Le Gong Ming" system. Once the government finds out, they should be punished directly, and their deception should be investigated.

But the government did not punish him once.

It shows the evil in it.

But after getting angry, Fusu couldn't help but sighed, and said: "I thought it was the government's dereliction of duty, but after I got to know Liyang deeply, I found out that the government did not derelict its duty."

"It's basically a matter of government standards."

"Daqin's iron farm tools standards have not been changed for nearly 30 years. The government's standards for iron farm tools are still 30 years ago. For 30 years, Daqin's iron production technology has long been improved. But still using the standards of the past, how can this make excellent iron farm tools?"

"I asked why."

"On the one hand, the craftsmen of Daqin belong to 'workers', and almost all of them are hereditary."

"Most craftsmen will not choose to teach their skills to outsiders, and the craftsmen themselves put a lot of emphasis on professional skills and practical experience. Once the descendants of outstanding craftsmen do not have the ability of their parents, the quality of casting artifacts will naturally deteriorate. decline."

"In order to prevent their descendants from failing the assessment and being punished by the government, these craftsmen have always maintained low standards."

"Secondly, the collusion between officials and businessmen is serious."

"Daqin's iron smelting industry is not considered advanced."

"In order to meet the needs of the world, but also to better promote iron farming tools."

"The imperial court authorized merchants to participate in the operation."

"Because of the low quality of government-run iron farm tools, they will be damaged to a certain extent after they are hardly used many times, which seriously delays the farming season. The local Guizhou head can only choose to buy high-priced farm tools from merchants. Many of the stingy officials in charge of supervision are bribed by merchants, so they turn a blind eye to the official situation."

"Let a group of people who fill up the number of spare seats fill the official workshop."

"Resolutely refuse to report to the higher authorities to raise standards."

"That's what's happening with iron farm tools right now."

"The iron farm tools operated by the government are of low quality, but relatively cheap, while the iron farm tools of merchants are of higher quality, but more expensive."

"Nowadays there is a shortage of young and strong in Guanzhong, only some old and weak women and children are left. If iron farm tools are not used, the fields will not be able to be cultivated. Therefore, the local people can only buy iron farm tools, and it is difficult to buy them from the government, and it is difficult for merchants to accept them Expensive, so the local people have always complained about the government."

"As for things like iron farm tools, I don't know how much it is in the entire handicraft industry."

"It's really shocking."

Fu Su's face was ashen, and his complexion was very gloomy.

As the eldest son of Great Qin, how could he ignore such evil?

The catastrophe has already appeared.

If you don't notice it, it's all right. Now that you have noticed it, can anything be silent?

If we allow collusion between officials and businessmen, and allow the local government to continue to exploit, in the long run, will the foundation of popular support not be lost?

It was precisely after knowing so much evil that Fusu couldn't sit still. As soon as he returned to Xianyang and gave the memorial to the first emperor, he immediately came to Ji Heng worried. It's really uncomfortable.

Be quiet for a while.

Ji Heng finally spoke.

"There are indeed a lot of shady scenes in the handicraft industry."

"It also needs to be resolved urgently."

"To a certain extent, this situation is normal."

"Officials are different from merchants. Merchants seek profit. They want to sell their goods at high prices. They can only improve the quality of goods as much as possible. Unlike the government, officials only play a supervisory role. Compared with making profits for the people, they hope One thing more is worse than one thing less, as long as there are no major problems in my job, everything will be the best as usual."

"Qin Ting has paid too much attention to the big politics these years, but neglected to pay attention to the bottom."

"Then gave the officials room to do their best."

"Among them, Daqin's strict 'work status' is the problem."

"Jiangmenhuzi, tiger father and dogzi, these two situations are constantly changing. Strictly restricting people's household registration will definitely hinder the progress and development of technology. If you don't solve the problem fundamentally, even if you write a letter to improve the inspection standards of various handicraft industries , will eventually repeat what happened today.”

Ji Heng seemed to think of something.

Added a few words.

"Also, don't exaggerate the role of the system."

"The system is dead, but people are alive."

"How can a living person be bound by a dead system?"

"As long as the benefits are big enough."

"Any system can be broken."

"For all systems involving the bottom, it is undoubted that they are often fairer to the weak in the early stage, but as time goes by, these systems will only become more and more biased towards the strong, because in the later stage, each system A group of interest groups with related interests will be formed in the future.”

"These people are just like the 'cowards' you just mentioned. They seek profits under this system, and they instinctively protect their own interests."

"There is no solution to this problem."

"The only thing that can be done is to clean it up every once in a while."

"Avoid being too big to lose."

Speaking of which.

Ji Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Perhaps it is also a way to let the people at the bottom participate in the supervision."

"However, this method is not very operable."

"The situation is also unpredictable."

Ji Heng didn't say much about it, and continued: "The corruption of Daqin is so serious now, to some extent, it actually relies on the hereditary work registration. To effectively avoid this situation, in addition to cleaning up officials regularly, we must also break the current hereditary system."

"Let people with other household registrations also be craftsmen."

"The power of the crowd is great, inexhaustible, and imaginative."

"Only by involving the people at the bottom and stimulating the talents of the people as much as possible can we promote the continuous development of the handicraft industry."

"It's hard to do that right now."

"in addition."

Ji Heng paused for a moment and said: "It has been nine years since the founding of Daqin, but in many aspects of production technology, there has been a certain stagnation. In addition to the slackness of craftsmen and the deliberate suppression of officials and businessmen, it is actually inseparable from the royal family of Daqin. The royal family of Daqin is the main cause."

"The Great Qin imperial family is too greedy!"

A word fell.

Fusu was stunned on the spot.

The Daqin imperial family was too concerned about the big politics, and somewhat neglected the bottom layer, but why did it ever limit technological improvement?
Fusu's eyes were full of confusion.
