When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 26 Revolution, whose life is revolutionized?

……

The heat of summer is quickly over and autumn is here.

However, this year's autumn harvest is different from previous years. The Quyuan Plow released by the Qin State appeared on the stage for the first time. At the same time, everyone saw how much this thing has improved compared to previous plowing tools.

The original plow required the combined efforts of three people and two oxen to operate, and it was extremely inconvenient to turn and control force. However, the current curved shaft plow can be easily operated by only one person and one oxen, making it lighter than the previous plows.

The time and manpower saved by the Quyuan plow can be used to do more things. For example, in a country like Qin that is either busy farming or fighting, the emergence of the Quyuan plow can cultivate more cultivated land, and for other countries The same goes for several countries.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Ying Chen, who gave this kind of thing to the world for free, became a celebrity.

"Reds" in various aspects.

"Your Majesty, the peace talks with the six countries have been basically confirmed. This is the result."

As the prime minister, Lu Buwei finally determined the terms of peace talks with the six countries after a month-long negotiation.

There is no way, Ying Chen is not sensitive to politics. In the past ten years, most of what he has been exposed to is war, military art, and the army. When he is free, he almost always practices internal skills, swordsmanship, and other things. Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he would not be able to achieve what he has achieved today.

Therefore, he really didn't understand these things very well. Some of the conditions put forward at Hangu Pass were too excessive, and some were too easy. This made Lu Buwei, a professional, extremely tired after taking over!
But at the same time, these questions also confirmed to Lu Buwei that Ying Chen is still a human being and has shortcomings!

His Xiangbang is still very useful!
Ying Zheng carefully looked through the treaties made by Lu Buwei. To be honest, he doesn't really understand these things at the moment, and he has just started to learn them.

Although he has learned a lot from Ying Chen over the years, they are all theories and thoughts, not actual methods of handling things.

It's not that Ying Chen doesn't know how to handle government affairs, it's just that he doesn't want to touch it!
After all, he was the person who was trained by King Zhao as the crown prince for so many years. Ying Chen actually understood these government affairs, but he didn't want everyone to think that he understood them.

Because the greater the ability, the more things can happen!
"Xiangbang can make his own decision." Ying Zheng finally couldn't find anything he could say.

After all, Ying Chen said, don't point fingers in areas that you are not good at. That will not make you appear smart, it will only appear that you are a big smart person.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Lu Buwei briefly explained to Ying Zheng the impact of the papers released by Ying Chen and Qu Yuanli. There were good impacts, but naturally there were also bad impacts.

Needless to say, the good influence is that Ying Chen, who brought out these two things, quickly became a benevolent and righteous man praised by many young people even in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, especially the farmers who had the greatest relationship with these two things. And hundreds of schools of thought.

But the bad influence is also obvious. Recently, many people in the court feel that Ying Chen is trying to gain fame.

In the past, Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, stole the talisman to save Zhao, which became his name of benevolence. Now, Ying Chen has given the Quyuan plow, a tool that greatly improves productivity, to the six countries of Shandong for free, which has also achieved his name of benevolence and righteousness.

The only difference is that Ying Chen did not sell out the interests of the Qin State. After all, he originally created this thing by himself. Although Gong Loser was involved, everyone also knows that Gong Loser's R&D consumption was all Ying Chen's. He is supporting it, and he is not taking money from the treasury, so these things that the public loser made belong to Ying Chen.However, from a national perspective, Ying Chen is siding with the enemy!
Relying on the productivity improvement brought by the Quyuan plow, the six countries in Shandong, which were already struggling, are now on the verge of regrouping.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Short-sighted." Lu Buwei said without mercy.

"They only saw the benefits brought by the Quyuan plow, but failed to discover the crisis hidden behind it."

The curved shaft plow can indeed increase productivity, increase grain production, and improve the efficiency of cultivated land, and then it can lead to an increase in population. Over time, the national power will naturally increase, but there is also a very practical problem, where is the land?

Most of the land in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is actually in the hands of the nobles. The peasants do not have much land. The emergence of the Quyuan Plow has led to a significant increase in productivity. On the surface, it is beneficial to the people's livelihood, but in fact, it has also aggravated the relationship between the bottom class and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. The contradiction between!
Because no matter how high the productivity is, the things you grow through hard work are not real!
If you originally grew ten kilograms of grain, you can get three kilograms of grain, barely able to maintain food and clothing. Even if the nobles take away your seven kilograms of grain without any effort, there is nothing you can do. Although you have grievances, there is more It's helpless. After all, you sold this land yourself in times of famine or when your family had problems.

However, if you grow a hundred kilograms of grain, but still only get three kilograms of grain, and the remaining 97 kilograms of grain will be taken away by the nobles?

"Today's Six Kingdoms, nobles, gentry, and some big families have held most of the land in their hands during hundreds of years of war. And then, when they saw the land brought by Qu Yuuli After huge profits are made, the problem of land annexation will become more serious," Ying Zheng said.

"As a result, farmers' enthusiasm for production will be greatly affected. If you want to change this situation, you must carry out reforms. However, almost all the six countries are controlled by aristocrats and nobles. Even if they want to change, they cannot change it. After all, they caused the problem in the first place.”

"Reform will definitely require bloodshed and sacrifice. Will they revolutionize their own lives?"

"..."

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng, who was only 13 years old, in surprise, "How can your Majesty see the problem so thoroughly?"

"Uh... Actually, this is what my uncle said a long time ago." Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed.

Ying Chen had already started the research and production of these things after wooing the public losers a few years ago. At that time, he was curious, so he asked. When Ying Chen was idle and bored, he would chat with them.

He didn't understand it very well at the time, but now that he has learned more and more, he found that many of what Ying Chen said made sense!
"Oh, Mr. Luoyang." Lu Buwei nodded, expressing understanding. Many of Ying Chen's opinions are actually unbelievable, and can even be said to be deviant. However, if you really calm down and think about it and verify it, you will find that what Ying Chen said is the truth!

"My uncle also said that in the next few years, many people from the Three Jin Dynasties will come over, and Qin can prepare to receive them." Ying Zheng said.

"Indeed." Lu Buwei nodded.

Chu State has a vast land and rich resources, and there are many wastelands, so farmers without land will most likely go to reclaim wasteland on their own initiative, which is similar to that of Qin State. Therefore, the impact of this thing on Chu State in a short period of time is not particularly obvious.

The State of Yan is located in a bitterly cold land, so the influence of the Quyuan Plow on the State of Yan is, to be honest, not great. After all, how much land can be grown in the terrible weather in the State of Yan?
And Qi State, this country... Tsk.
