Su Wen didn't mean to blame the old man.

  He understood that although Duke Lu had some careful thoughts in his heart, the essence was still good for him.

  So he smiled and explained.

  "Actually, Lu Bo, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm going to buy some land and shops tomorrow morning."

  "On the one hand, vigorously build wineries and beverage factories, and then quickly promote beer and beverages to the entire Daqin."

  "On the other hand, I'm going to open a special cold drink shop in Pei County. You can understand it as a tea house. I have a special use for this."

  "To tell you the truth, I actually have some other things in my hands, but if you want to see them, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while, and you will be pleasantly surprised by then."

  Build a winery?

  Open a tea house?

  Isn't this what businessmen call it?

  Agricultural business.

  Merchant is the lowest class.

  When he heard that Su Wen was going to give up his career to become a businessman, he couldn't help but get angry.

  "Nonsense, since ancient times, merchants have been opportunistic people, and they are ashamed of the whole country."

  "My nephew, with your talent and martial arts, as long as you can step into the official career, whether it is a military officer or a civil officer, it will definitely be smooth sailing. You should consider it carefully."

  The idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has been circulated in ancient feudal society for thousands of years.

  For thousands of years, although merchants were rich, their status was the lowest.

  Therefore, the whole country is ashamed of businessmen.

  Su Wen also knew that it was useless to tell a Qin man more than [-] years ago, but he still said.

  "Lu Bo, I naturally know that you are also thinking about me, but please listen to me slowly."

  "I know that merchants are the least important part of your business, but have you ever thought about what is the most important thing for Daqin to continue to prosper?"

  This time, Duke Lu said without thinking.

  "Of course, it is the agriculture that strengthens the country."

  Su Wen smiled, then shook his head and said.

  "No, uncle, you are wrong."

  What?I was wrong?

  Duke Lu was also stunned by Su Wen's words.

  Governing the country with agriculture is the foundation of governing the country once proposed by Shang Jun.

  How could it be wrong?

  So he couldn't help but speak.

  "Shangjun once said: The country should be peaceful when it comes to agricultural warfare, and it should be respected when it presides over agricultural warfare. If the Qin Dynasty wants to prosper, why is it wrong to govern the country with agriculture and reward farming and warfare?"

  "If the peasants don't plant the land, where will the food for the whole country come from? Those soldiers and soldiers can't get enough to eat, so what do they use to fight?"

  "On the other hand, those businessmen do nothing all day, and take other people's things for their own interests. It is really shameful for others."

  "Nephew, you also know that I am here for your own good. No matter who you are for, you should listen to Lu Bo."

  "Providing these things to His Majesty the First Emperor, His Majesty's Holy Grace, will definitely give you an official promotion."

  In fact, in Lu Zhi's opinion, what Duke Lu said was quite correct.

  She has read poetry and books since she was a child, and even women know the importance of agriculture.

  So Lu Zhi couldn't help but speak.

  "Su Lang, what daddy said actually makes sense, otherwise you should listen to daddy."

  And Susu secretly glanced at Su Wen, and was very quiet and did not speak.

  From the moment she fell in love with Su Wen, she had already thought of giving everything she had to Su Wen.

  So no matter what decision he makes, she will support him unconditionally.

  Su Wen glanced at them with a smile, and then continued.

  "Lu Bo, let me ask you, do you think the people of Daqin are rich now?"

  "this......"

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Duke Lu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

  In fact, he knew it himself.

  The people of Daqin today are not rich.

  It can even be described as destitute.

  "You have the answer in your heart, don't you? From the refugees and bandits along the way, you can't tell that the people of Daqin are miserable."

  "If not, how could they fall into the business of bandits."

  "Furthermore, with the years of droughts and floods, how much harvest can farmers have."

  In fact, there is one thing Su Wen did not say, that is, the agricultural technology in this era is not developed at all.

  The yield per mu is low, and the variety of crops is also very scarce.

  It is a joke to try to run the country with agriculture.

  ps: Thank you guys for the gifts, sorry for the late update, tomorrow I will be earlier, maybe four chapters today.

  I owe two chapters, I will make it up tomorrow! ! ! ! .

Chapter 21

  Seeing that Duke Lu was lost in thought, Su Wen continued.

  "Even if there is a good year, the harvest of crops is very high, but the remaining ones that cannot be eaten, can't they just watch it rot in the ground."

  "If there are merchants, they can sell it to them and exchange the grain for money."

  "Then I can use the money to build houses, buy clothes, and send my children to private schools."

  "If there are no merchants, where will the money come from? Is it difficult to exchange food for clothes and houses?"

  "If there are no merchants, all commodities cannot be circulated."

  "If there are no merchants, the farmers will be different from the natives in addition to solving the problem of food."

  "Even if the value of food is very high, you can exchange for other items, but what if you encounter too much food?"

  "To tell you the truth, I have a lot of seeds from my hometown crops that I don't have here."

  "Those crops are not only very satiety and taste good, but the yield per mu can reach thousands of pounds."

  "You can see these things later. At that time, the food problem of the Qin people can be completely solved."

  "And at that time, they will have higher material requirements, and the role of merchants will naturally be reflected at that time."

  Shocked, suspicious, unbelievable.

  When the three people in the hall heard Su Wen's words, their expressions changed drastically.

  What did Su Wen say just now?

  Can it completely solve the problem of people eating?

  Crops with a yield of up to [-] kilograms per mu?

  Is this really impossible?

  If it is true as Su Wen said.

  At that time, the role of merchants will be truly reflected.

  After all, so many crops are impossible to eat.

  The exchange of currency through merchants' circulation can directly drive the development of the entire Qin state.

  Duke Lu could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

  Under Su Wen's stunned speech, he stood up and came to Su Wen's side, took his hand and said.

  "My son-in-law, what you said is true. Do you really have crops with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu?"

  Lu Gong was really excited.

  If it is really according to what Su Wen said, then Su Wen will definitely go straight to the sky.

  After all, in this era, the army is in chaos, the people are living in hardship, and there are many people who starve to death.

  If Su Wen solves this problem, I am afraid it is not impossible to become prime minister directly.

  And his two daughters are the prime minister's wife.

  At that time, the Lu family was naturally a proud ancestor.

  Su Wen was also startled by him, but he quickly reacted and said hurriedly.

  "Of course, I'm going to buy some land tomorrow, and then send someone to plant some to try."

  Su Wen is not the Virgin, and he will not give his own things to others in vain.

  According to his idea, he wanted to buy a large field around Pei County.

  Then hire some servants to do the planting.

  Anyway, things like potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to grow, just throw them into the fields.

  But he wanted to see what the output value per mu of these seeds was in this era.

  Until the day of harvest, if he can, he can choose to cooperate with farmers.

  He provides the seeds and planting techniques, and the farmer is responsible for the land and cultivation.
