"This kid!" Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Li Zhao without warning, making Li Zhao very confused. He had done something wrong again.
"Li Zhao! You produce so much fertilizer, what are you going to do with it!" Ying Zheng is not an idiot. He has not developed much land with a thousand acres of land, so there is no need for so much fertilizer. And with Li Zhao's production volume, it can be said that he is just for Rice in the fields, that just doesn’t make sense.
Li Zhao's expression changed. He only focused on introducing the workshop, but he forgot that Da Qin suppressed business! With such a big fanfare and in front of the emperor, isn't this looking for death?
He really wanted to slap himself.
"Your Majesty, I am just preparing for the future."
"Really?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, with an indescribable smile in his eyes.
Li Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and his words became more serious, "Sure... it's true."
"Well, very good!" Ying Zheng nodded secretly, and surprisingly did not ask any more questions.
Li Zhao sweated and secretly thought it was so dangerous! But I was wondering if I would have to pay a lot of taxes if I sold it in the future. Daqin's tax on business is very heavy.
while walking.
Looking at the large fields of seedlings and the steady flow of fertilizers produced, Ying Zheng was very satisfied. This was the hope of Great Qin!
Hope was there, but when he thought about the content of Feng Quji's report, he became worried for a moment. He actually wanted to see Li Zhao's opinion on this trip.
However, he won't ask Li Zhao directly. This guy likes to be pretentious if he wants to talk, and asking questions is in vain.
"Fusu!" Ying Zheng seemed to be serious in his words. He asked Fusu with a deliberate meaning: "Yesterday, Prime Minister Feng mentioned that some officials are slack and not professional in their work. What do you think?"
Fusu didn't expect that his father would suddenly change the subject, and he was at a loss for a moment. After thinking about it, he bit the bullet and answered: "My son believes that this is the result of his father not practicing benevolent government. Confucianism and Taoism say that benevolence and orderliness ......."
This is what Master Chunyu taught him, that "benevolence" is the most important thing to govern a country, so he prepared a long speech and talked about it, but he didn't know that he was greeted by dirty words that his father had never said before.
"Jen your head."
Fu Su was stunned, immediately shut up, and thought to himself, being a human being, no, why is it so difficult to be a prince.
Ying Zheng was very disappointed. He thought that Fusu would change if he stayed away from Chun Yuyue, but it still happened. For a moment, when he looked at the still lonely and hunched figure again, his anger started to rise.
This beast has done a lot of harm to the prince.
Helpless, he didn't actually pray for Fusu to tell the truth, the purpose was just to elicit Li Zhao's inner voice.
But what made him even more disappointed was that Li Zhao didn't even fart. For a moment, his anger became even more intense, and he didn't care whether Li Zhao was willing to speak or not, and asked:
"Li Zhao, tell me."
ah! Li Zhao was confused, he was just a farmer, Qin Shi Huang thought highly of him.
Although he has his own opinion, he must not say it out loud. This is his uncle's advice, and it is also for the sake of the future!
"Your Majesty, sir, I only know how to grow rice, but I really don't understand state affairs." Li Zhao hesitated.
"I don't understand your size!" Ying Zheng said another dirty word, as if he was very angry.
Suddenly, he looked back at the workshop with a terrible smile and said, "If I think you are doing business, what do you think the result will be?"
Li Zhao was startled, secretly wondering how this animal could change moods and anger so quickly that it was difficult to take care of him, so he immediately said: "I think..."
Of course he knew what the outcome would be.
"The method of survival of the fittest can be adopted."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng thought that Li Zhao would have an amazing trick, but he was a little disappointed! Survival of the fittest is good, but compared to the current situation of Da Qin, it is not allowed.
Since the unification, the people employed in the dynasty were all recommended, and most of them were children of powerful people. These people were connected and formed a system. If some officials were eliminated, it would definitely cause many problems, which would not be beneficial to the rule of Qin.
Why! This issue still needs to be discussed with Sangong!
Ying Zheng had no choice but to prepare to leave. He has been here for too long, and there are still many government affairs to deal with in the palace.
Suddenly, Li Zhao's voice came.
"Of course, survival of the fittest is not suitable for the current situation, but if the officials appointed are not children of powerful people, the situation will be different."
Li Zhao still knew something about Da Qin's officialdom. After all, he had lived in the Li Mansion for seventeen years.
oh! Not a son of a powerful person?
Ying Zheng frowned.
This makes some sense. The powerful control the country and influence the whole body. But how can we not be powerful? It is not impossible to use the method of survival of the fittest, but it is not easy to appoint non-powerful people!
Li Si would never use anyone who was not a powerful person in charge of human affairs. As the king of a country, he would never have time to worry about such things.
"Nowadays, all officials in the country are recommended, and there are too many interrelated relationships, which is not a good way to appoint people."
Ying Zheng nodded. As the emperor, he also admitted that this was not the best way.
"If we select talents, the situation will be different."
Um! Select talents?
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he fell into deep thought for the next moment.
"In order to solve this problem, later generations finally abandoned the recommendation and implemented the imperial examination to create a great era. If Da Qin implemented it, it would surely be able to solve this problem!"
Li Zhao thought and couldn't help but sigh. The imperial examination originated from the Han Dynasty and was founded in the Sui Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty had not yet begun!
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Great Qin perished so quickly!
Li Zhao didn't know that Ying Zheng could hear his voice. The next moment, he saw Ying Zheng's eyes widening and looking at him in disbelief. His eyes were like parasites living in knots on his face.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's heart was very uneasy. He heard a new term, imperial examination. This word, like the fairy words from the sky, tugged at his heart tightly.
Just when he was expecting something to happen, Li Zhao suddenly stopped thinking, which made him feel as if he had swallowed something hard and stuck in his throat, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Li Zhao! This business tax is very heavy."
Ying Zheng suddenly said these words, which startled Li Zhao, secretly thinking that this person still has no intention of giving up on his workshop!
I thought to myself: This old man, after so much hard work to make money, can’t he let me go? If you want to solve the problem of official laziness, go to your three ministers and nine ministers! Catch me and won't let you go. It means several things.
Am I going to tell you to abolish official education and promote private education so that more people can study and select talents through assessment?
This is impossible, the Qin Dynasty is about to be destroyed, and I don’t want to be dragged into this quagmire.
Ying Zheng was not angry when he heard Li Zhao's thoughts, but smiled.
Secretly, this is the imperial examination! Abolish official education and promote private education. Yeah, that’s a good suggestion.
Ying Zheng was secretly happy. Suddenly, he felt his whole body relax, and his gaze towards Li Zhao became much more sacred.
Yes, he looked at Li Zhao as if he were looking at a god. Only a god could have such ability.
He found that his whole life was not as good as a child.
Ha ha! He is lucky to have this son!
But the next moment, when that lonely and hunched figure came into view, the joy in his heart immediately retreated, and when he looked at Fusu again, his heart ached.
That would harm his son!
I think Li Zhao knows everything at a young age, but what about his son? They only know such nonsense as "benevolent government" and "heaven, earth and people".
Comparing people to each other really pisses people off.
