My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 364 The economic foundation of Jianming, specializes in cutting down the superstructure!

Just by looking at Meng Tian's eyes, Ying Chengyu knew that there were definitely ten thousand grass and mud horses running wildly in Meng Tian's heart.

Ying Chengyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Does Mr. Meng think that being on guard can prevent thieves from other countries?"

"It's impossible to guard against it!"

"We, the Qin Dynasty, have many foreign visitors, and all these foreign visitors will not hesitate to send Chang'an plows to other countries in exchange for rewards!"

"Rather than expending manpower and energy on strictly guarding it, we should let it go and let other countries learn from it."

The Qin Dynasty used profits to lure talented people, and talented people would inevitably be abducted by other countries with heavier benefits.

Regardless of whether they are important ministers or local officials, most of them are used by the Qin Dynasty for their own ideals, beliefs or interests, but there are very few ministers who only serve the Qin Dynasty.

For them, changing countries is as easy as changing jobs, and they feel no guilt.

So as long as Da Qin uses Chang'an Li, Chang'an Li will definitely be leaked.

This is inevitable and cannot be stopped by any means.

Meng Tian shook his head repeatedly: "Then we can't just let it go!"

"Even if we can block it for a few more years, it will be a huge benefit to our Great Qin!"

Ying Chengyu patiently explained: "Zhao's problem lies in water conservancy."

"The problem of swallows is that the land is barren."

"Qi has many hills and well-developed water conservancy. The Chang'an plow will definitely increase Qi's grain production."

"However, the troubles of Qi lie in the cowardice of the monarchs and ministers and in the way the country is governed."

"This means that even if Qi has abundant grain production, it can only become the granary of our Da Qin!"

"If we, the Qin Dynasty, had not destroyed Han and Wei, I would never have taken out the Chang'an plow."

"Of course, the old lands of Han and Wei and the fertile land north of the Yingshui River have all been owned by our Great Qin. The construction of the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong has also been completed. The land available for farming in our Great Qin is wider than that of the other three countries!"

"So I think that instead of using the Chang'an plow covertly, we should promote it in a big way and make our Daqin grain production skyrocket as soon as possible!"

"As for stealing skills from other countries? Just let them do it."

The plow is just one part of farming.

Water conservancy, terrain, climate, etc. will all affect the final harvest.

Yan, Zhao, and Qi will indeed be able to obtain more food and liberate more people after obtaining the Chang'an plow.

But Da Qin got even more benefits!

When there is no defense, why not fully push it away to maximize the benefits that Qin can get and further widen the gap in strength with the three countries of Yan, Zhao, and Qi!

Meng Tian was not convinced by Ying Chengyu at all, but asked: "What about Chu State?"

"The territory of Chu State is vast, but it is difficult to cultivate and cultivate due to the large number of mountains, hills and wasteland."

"The Chang'an plow developed by Chang'an Jun is light and easy to turn, and can be pulled by a single oxen."

"The benefits of this plow are all beneficial to Chu State!"

"If the Chu State can obtain the Chang'an plow, it will take only a few years for the Chu State to convert a large amount of wasteland into fertile land."

"This thing is even more beneficial to Chu than to Qin!"

Meng Tian didn't know that in another timeline, this Quyuanli was also known as Jiangdongli.

This object first appeared in the Jiangdong area, which is now the Ji County of Chu State and other places.

Can the farming equipment built by the descendants of Chu based on the terrain of Chu not be suitable for Chu?

Ying Chengxuan asked: "Chu State?"

"I put this plow in front of them. Do they dare to take it?"

Meng Tian even suspected that Ying Chengyu had made a slip of the tongue, and even the tone of his question was a little more hesitant: "Why don't you dare to take it?"

“It’s natural to take something that benefits the country so much!”

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "I am also waiting for them to get it!"

Meng Tian has been completely deceived by Ying Chengyu.

He even seriously doubted whether Ying Chengxuan had reached any cooperation with Chu State.

Otherwise, why would Ying Chengxuan hope that Chu would steal the Chang'an plow!

Facing Meng Tian's eyes filled with questions, Ying Chengyu said slowly: "Since the Wei Dynasty, all countries have implemented reforms."

"However, the effectiveness of the reforms varies."

"Our Daqin Reform was the most thorough, completely eradicating the old aristocrats who enslaved children and servants in the country."

"Wei, Zhao Cizhi."

"Yan, Han, and Qi came again."

"Wei Chu still follows the ancient system!"

Meng Tian frowned.

Meng Tian agreed with Ying Chengyu's words.

Although Wei and Zhao still have many clans and nobles who can obtain titles and enjoy high positions without any military merit.

However, both Wei and Zhao put forward the guiding ideology of "eating with work and earning with merit", which almost eradicated the slave-owning class in the country, allowing the people of Wei and Zhao to fully release their power.

Although the three countries of Yan, Han, and Qi did not completely eradicate the domestic slave-owning class, they more or less suppressed the domestic slave-owning class and the old aristocratic class, and completed the reform to a certain extent.

Only Chu State has repeatedly tried to reform the law, but has been blocked by the stubborn old aristocracy, and it still lives by the old system.

But, what does this have to do with Changan Li?

Ying Chengxuan continued: "Reforms in various countries are more or less compromises that have to be made because of the endless rebellion of domestic servants."

"The children of Chu State started to cause trouble quite early, and they made trouble the most often."

"Why was the Chu State able to maintain the old system despite the overwhelming resentment of the child servants, so that the child servants had to continue to be driven by the powerful?"

Meng Tian thought about it and replied: "Because Chu will appease the boy servant who took the lead in the uprising."

"First buy the thief leader with a lot of money, so that the thief leader can also control the child servants like a powerful person."

"If the leader of the bandit does not obey, then bribe the bandit's followers and make them make noise or kill the bandit leader."

"This strategy will never go unfavorable!"

As for using force to suppress?

Forget it.

Meng Tian felt embarrassed for Chu State!

The regular army of the Chu State was defeated by the child servant rebel army not once or twice.

Ying Chengqiao nodded slightly: "What the Minister Meng said is indeed a good strategy for treating child servants."

"But in my opinion, the Chu State's use of tactics to deal with the rebellious child servants is just a technique, and this technique has been used by all countries."

"The reason why the Chu State's child servants have not been able to force the Chu State to complete the reform is because of the unique geography and landforms of the Chu State!"

“The mountains and hills of Chu State are densely covered with lush vegetation and numerous wild animals, making it extremely difficult to cultivate land.”

"Even after reclamation, it is difficult to bring plows into the fields for many acres, and they can only be cultivated by humans, resulting in a meager grain yield."

"After the boy servants successfully rebelled, they were unable to fight against the Chu army for a long time, and they were unable to survive in the mountains and forests when they retreated."

"In order to survive, the child servant had to kneel at the feet of the powerful again and let the powerful drive him."

Ying Chengyu looked at Chang'an Li and smiled: "When Chang'an Li is introduced to Chu State, everything will be different!"

As Ying Chengyu narrated, Meng Tian finally understood.

Why do countries change their laws?

A very important reason is that child servants in various countries have the ability to be self-reliant, and they can reject oppression and exploitation from the powerful.

Why has Chu State been unable to reform?

A very important reason is that the child servants of Chu State could not survive for a long time after leaving the powerful. They were unable to refuse oppression and exploitation!

But now, Ying Chengyu has given the Chu Kingdom's child servants the most advantageous weapon.

Not a sword, not an armor, not a heavy crossbow.

But Changan Plow!

With this plow, the Chu Kingdom's child servants could completely escape into the mountains after the victory of the uprising, find a small valley that was difficult for the Chu army to enter, and quickly complete the reclamation and sowing, forming a small self-sufficient society!

Meng Tian said in shock: "So Chang'an Jun paid great attention to lightness and steering when designing the Chang'an plow, and designed the Chang'an plow to be very suitable for Chu land?"

"The Chang'an plow is sweet honey to all countries."

"But to the Chu State, it is just poisonous wine with sweet honey!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head again: "This Chang'an plow is like poisonous wine filled with sweet honey to all countries in the world."

"The State of Chu, which has not yet reformed, will be the most poisoned, and the remaining countries will also inherit the poison of this thing."

“Even I, Da Qin, am not immune!”

"With the emergence of the Chang'an plow, the annual harvest in the head of Qin Dynasty will also skyrocket. Even if we don't go to the battlefield to fight, we can still have food and clothing."

"The military merit system, tax rates, and the art of governing the people all need to be revised accordingly."

"Otherwise, the country will be unstable!"

Throughout the world, the farming method has evolved from the original manual farming to the two-oxen-three-husband style, which kicked off the reform in various countries.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the two-oxen-one-man farming method was born. Soon, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the system of one cow and one husband began to become popular, and then came the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

In troubled times, Quyuanli came into being, and it was during this period that the Sui and Tang Dynasties completed the handover!

We can find that the emergence of every new farming method is accompanied by the death of an old system, or even the collapse of a dynasty!

This may be a coincidence.

But Ying Chengyu is more inclined to think that this is the economic foundation and the superstructure is cut with swords!

The superstructure can prevent the independent development of the economic base, as in the Qing Dynasty, or in some areas where two oxen and one husband were still used for farming more than two thousand years later.

But once the economic base has completed its independent development, but the superstructure is still unable to change accordingly, then this dynasty will be abandoned by the times!

As an important cornerstone to support the economic foundation after a thousand years, can the existing systems of various countries today be able to survive?

It can't be lowered!

The Chu State, which has not changed its past, will surely become the biggest victim of Chang'an Li.

Even the system of Da Qin could not withstand the changes brought about by Chang'an Li!

The sudden realization that had just emerged in Meng Tian's eyes was once again replaced by shock and incomprehension: "How can this plow have such a big impact on the world?"

"Since Lord Chang'an thinks that this thing is poisonous wine filled with sweet nectar to me, Great Qin, then why did Lord Chang'an bring out the Chang'an Plow!"

Ying Cheng smiled and looked at Ying Zheng: "Because the person sitting on the throne is Brother Wang!"

"How to formulate a system suitable for the future world is the responsibility of Brother Wang and all his colleagues."

"I am just a minor Zong Zhengcheng and military commander. At most, I will go on a few more expeditions for the Qin Dynasty. Why should I worry about such important matters for the country?"

"I believe in Brother Wang's wisdom!"

The former Ying Chengyu couldn't think about it and was unwilling to bring any uncertain changes to this world.

But now, Ying Chengyu thought about it.

If the existing system of Da Qin cannot withstand the changes brought about by Ying Chengyu, then change the law!

Lu Buwei is still alive, Han Fei is still alive, and Ying Zheng can live for several more decades.

Han Fei was there to prepare for war, Lu Buwei was there to pacify the people, and Ying Zheng was at the helm.

When it comes to reform, who is more skilled than Da Qin?

Playing with changes, who can play better than these three people today!

With these three big men in charge of Da Qin, what should Ying Chengxuan be afraid of!

When Cheese was in school, the history textbook said that the Quyuan Li appeared in the late Tang Dynasty. The evidence for this statement comes from the "Leishi Jing" written by Lu Guimeng in the late Tang Dynasty. It has also been recognized by scholars such as Director Hu Zexue and Professor Wang Xingguang. However, a mural depicting Qu Yuanli was unearthed from the tomb of Li Shou in Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province. After determination, the mural was not a subsequent addition, but Li Shou and Li Shentong were Li Yuan's cousins, who died in the fourth year of Zhenguan! There is a long time difference with the late Tang Dynasty.

According to the mural, Chishi believes that the Quyuan plow had been introduced to the north and started to be used on a small scale in the fourth year of Zhenguan at the latest. Therefore, Chichi has reason to support the views of many scholars such as Professor Yu Shenglong and Associate Professor Liu Xi, who believe that the Quyuan plow The plow appeared in the Sui Dynasty or earlier, not in the late Tang Dynasty.
