Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 136 The Neglected Handicraft Industry! (seeking subscription)

Pigsty.

Xu Fu raised his head and lay in it.

Until now, his mind is still muddled.

He had carried out a survey last month, and there were the fewest households living here, and the houses were all built in recent years, and there were very few people haunting it on a daily basis.

It is for this reason that he chose this escape route.

It's just that he didn't expect that he escaped from Fangshiju with great difficulty. He thought he could escape successfully by taking advantage of the few people here. There is no city in Xianyang. After stepping into this area, before taking a few steps, several clerks rushed out from the dark place. He panicked and ran in quickly, and then was directly knocked down to the ground.

He was desperate at first.

People who thought it was the government came up.

It's just that the conversation between those few people just now made Xu Fu feel a little bit suspicious.

The few people in the dark are indeed Qin officials.

The 'sir' in the house seems to have another background.

From his words, it is clearly revealed that he is being monitored here, but he is only restrained and will not be threatened. Even the Qin officials outside are still protecting this person, which makes Xu Fu very confused. Who exactly is 'Mr.'? !

Why can he talk to the eldest son?
And why is it limited to this?

Xu Fu now only feels his head is in a mess.

But he didn't care about it now, the ground was too cold, he looked around, and swung his body vigorously, like a fish out of the water, after several struggles, it landed on the rotting vegetation not far away.

Xu Fu panted slightly.

He took a look at his current situation, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

No matter who that person is, he will fall into the hands of the government. Once he falls into the hands of the government, he is doomed to die.

But now his hands and feet are tied tightly, his tongue is blocked, he can't speak, he can't move his hands, he can't walk his feet. Get away with something.

but no.

This pigsty is too clean.

There is not even a sharp piece of wood, only a little bit of dead grass piled up.

After some attempts, Xu Fu gave up.

He is already old, how can he stand up to such a toss?

In the end, he chose to keep knocking on the wall with his feet, trying to let the people in the room hear the sound. He believed that if the other party was really trapped here, he would have the confidence to convince the other party, and even as long as this person came to meet him, he would have the confidence to let the other party Untie yourself.

Boom!

Boom!

A series of low-pitched knocking sounds resounded.

But no matter how much Xu Fu knocked, there was no sound in the house.

It's as if they can't hear these noises at all.

Xu Fu gradually despaired.

As the night grew darker, the knocking became softer.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Just as Ji Heng woke up from his sleep, he heard footsteps outside the house.

He yawned.

last night.

He didn't sleep well.

From time to time, there was the sound of chopping the wall in the backyard.

He knew who sent it, but he didn't care about it at all.

He wrapped himself in a layer of fleece and went to open the door. Fusu was already waiting outside the door.

see.

Fusu said, "I've seen you sir."

But before Fusu could explain his purpose, Ji Heng pointed to the backyard and said, "In the pigsty, I kicked the wall at night, take it away quickly, it's so noisy."

Done.

Ji Heng yawned and went back to the room.

Fusu smiled wryly, but could only nod his head.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for his attendants to bring over the detainees in the backyard.

He himself followed into the house.

It was cold inside.

While breathing heavily, Ji Heng lit the fire and said, "I should have a lot of money staying with you. If you can, go to the workshop and forge an iron pot for me. Such a good stove, Such good firewood is only used for fire, it is too wasteful."

"But my iron pan is very demanding."

"I personally suggest that craftsmen who serve the First Emperor should build it."

heard.

Fusu's expression froze.

He scratched his head, and said a little uncomfortable: "I can't make the decision. Your Majesty's daily necessities, etc., are all designated by the imperial court."

"How dare I presume to make mistakes."

Ji Heng said indifferently: "You can talk about it."

"Just say what I suggest."

"I also want to see what kind of items the top craftsmen in Daqin can create with the technology they currently have."

Fusu's gaze changed slightly, as if he had guessed what Ji Heng was thinking, and said, "I will ask my father for instructions."

"Is it just that the gap between the two is really that big?"

Ji Heng added a few pieces of firewood to the stove, and streams of fire came out from the stove, illuminating the room brightly.

Ji Heng looked at Fusu and said: "You and the first emperor underestimated the improvement of various skills in war. There have been hundreds of years of great conflict, whether it is mining, bronze, pottery, mechanical textiles, painting (xiū) lacquer, etc. Technology has been greatly developed, but the world used to pay too much attention to war, and did not pay too much attention to these skills and technologies."

"After the unification of the world, Daqin was eager to implement various systems, and various corvee taxes were continuously raised. Many craftsmen with skills were either conscripted for the exclusive use of the royal family, or fell into endless labor. Those skills were not obtained. opportunity to develop."

"But that doesn't mean there isn't."

"in addition."

"After the Great Qin ruled the world, it did not conduct a deep investigation of all walks of life in the world."

"The Qin court's understanding of these skills is still limited to the scope of the Qin land, and there are a few examples that are famous all over the world, but the world has been fighting for hundreds of years. Thousands of people?"

"With such a huge base, even if all walks of life have only made a small step forward, it will be a big step forward for the whole world."

"It's just that Da Qin didn't show it."

"If Daqin can fully utilize the accumulation of these hundreds of years, the world will never fall into the current predicament."

Fusu's face changed slightly.

Fusu said, "Sir, are you lying?"

"Can the skills possessed by Daqin really have such a great influence on the world?"

Ji Heng sneered and said: "War is indeed terrible, but under the pressure of war, the promotion of the world's skills is unimaginable to the world."

"Normally speaking, after the world is settled down, it will enter a stage of recuperation. During this stage, the craftsmanship accumulated in the war will be extremely explosive. Because of the existence of war, these skills will be suppressed to a certain extent. When this After the external suppression disappears, once they are given a chance, they will explode with unprecedented potential."

"The Great Qin practiced farming and warfare."

"Too much emphasis on farming and military affairs."

"Moreover, the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty suppressed the handicraft industry too much, so the court ignored the importance of the handicraft industry. If the court pays attention to the handicraft industry and even gives it a suitable development soil, many skills of the Great Qin Dynasty will be in the next few decades. , got a huge boost."

"The improvement of various crafts will also feed back to the imperial court."

"By that time, there will be a significant improvement in the quantity and quality of the mines mined by the Great Qin Dynasty, the production of ironware, pottery, etc.."

"Da Qin suppressed the world too much."

"The handicraft industry that was supposed to feed back to the imperial court can't produce output at all right now."

"This may not be one of the reasons for Great Qin's grievances."

Fusu looked serious.

After Ji Heng's words, he re-examined the handicraft industry.

Indeed, as Ji Heng said, he didn't know much about handicrafts and the like, and he always felt that even if these technologies were improved, they were just like that, with limited impact on the world, but after Ji Heng reminded him, he suddenly woke up. What he focused on was only one line of business. If he looked at the whole world, how could the progress be improved by a single bit?
Fusu bowed and said, "Fusu has been taught."

"When I return to the palace, I will definitely tell my father what my husband said."

At this time.

Liao Ke and others said outside the house: "My son, I have already brought you here."

Fusu took a deep breath and stepped out of the room.

Ji Heng didn't go out, he put a clay pot on the stove, scooped some water, put some corn in it, and started to prepare his own breakfast.

outside the house.

Fu Su measured the disheveled and dying old man.

Xu Fu lowered his head, angry and annoyed.

Fusu took a few glances, snorted coldly, and said, "Xu Fu, what else do you want to say?"

Xu Fu raised his head, but looked into the room, and said in a cold voice: "I, Xu Fu, have counted thousands of things, but I haven't counted them. I will lose here. I have nothing to say. The only doubt is that I want to know what is inside the house. Who is this person?"

"I implore the eldest son to clarify."

Fusu turned his head, glanced at the room, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"But I can tell you another thing."

"The reason why Your Majesty abandoned your medicine stone is because of the three prescriptions presented by Mr."

"And now you are in the hands of Monsieur again."

"According to your alchemists."

"This is called the number of days!"

heard.

Xu Fu's face changed slightly, and then he said coldly: "It turns out that he is a doctor, but how could he be able to dissolve the medicine of gold and stone? Shihuang has been taking medicine for several years, and gold and stone have already penetrated into the internal organs. How can it be that ordinary herbal medicine can dissolve it? Radical."

"What do you mean?" Fu Su condensedly asked.

Xu Fu shook his head.

He had no intention of speaking again, but looked into the room unwillingly, trying to see the faces of the people in the room clearly.

However, Ji Heng always turned his back to him, and had no intention of turning his head at all.

At this time.

Liao Ke said, "My lord."

"When we brought this person in just now, we searched him and found a few pills from him."

talking.

Liao Ke handed the pill up.

Fusu looked at these strangely colored pills, with an undisguised disgust in his eyes.

He said: "Put these pills in a box and put them in a box, and hand them over to the imperial physician later, and let the people in the imperial hospital test them."

"No." Liao Ke said.

Done.

Fu Su bowed towards the room, and said: "I will tell my father what you say, sir."

"Fusu will take my leave first."

Fu Su waved his hand, Liao Ke and the others waited for a while, escorted Xu Fu, and walked out of the room.

Even though he was escorted away, Xu Fu's gaze was still fixed on the rear, as if he was still full of curiosity about the people in the room.

But after all, it failed.
