Qin Wangzheng was worthy of being a king who knew the sufferings of the people. He saw the advantages of plowing and was attracted by what Zhao Shu said.
However, he knew better that in the Qin Dynasty, thousands of people did not have much food in their hands. If the cost was too high, it would not be suitable for promotion at all.
He didn't want to add unnecessary pressure to Li Shu.
Seeing everyone looking over, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this plow is just an improvement on the previous plow."
"Almost all of them are made of wood. The only iron or bronze product is the plowshare. The cost is equivalent to the previous plow."
"And this plow is relatively simple. If it breaks, you can repair it yourself. There is no need for the government to worry about it."
"Of course, if something goes wrong with the plowshare, you need to buy it again from the Beidou Chamber of Commerce. However, you can also add some money and grain to trade it in for a new one."
.........
After listening to Zhao Shu's words, Qin Wangzheng looked at Datian Ling and Zhi Su Neishi: "In terms of farming, the two beloved ministers know best."
"You two think this new type of plow should be promoted?"
"Your Majesty, I thought we should promote it immediately. It's almost the end of the year. It's better to promote it now to prepare for next year's spring plowing."
"This plow is indeed more convenient and labor-saving than the old plow before. As Gongzi Shu said, it saves manpower and the pressure of the lack of cattle."
Zheng Guo's eyes were full of solemnity, and he turned to Qin Wangzheng and said: "Promoting the new type of plow will have hundreds of benefits and no harm to the Qin Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, I agree with the rule of millet and the promotion of new plows, which will be more beneficial to the Qin Dynasty."
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on Wang Wan and Li Si. The two looked at each other and said to Qin Wangzheng.
"Your Majesty, I and others also agree with the promotion. The cost of this plow is the same as the previous plow. The price is not high. I, Da Qin, can afford it."
"good!"
Qin Wangzheng immediately made a decision and said to Zhao Shu and others: "This matter will be mainly promoted by the Beidou Chamber of Commerce, and the Gongsu Neishi History Office and the National Government Office will keep an eye on the promotion."
"With respect to the national economy and people's livelihood, the court does not need to make money or food, nor does it harm the people of the country."
"promise."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Seeing King Qin's approval, a smile appeared on Zhao Shu's face, but before his smile fully bloomed, he saw Zheng Guo's old face magnified in front of his eyes.
"Sir, I am responsible for the promotion of the Su Nei History Office. Although the cost of this plow is not high, there are thousands of farmers in our country."
"The income will not be small. The Beidou Chamber of Commerce cannot take up all of this income. I manage the Arinai Historic Office and I should get a share of it!"
All of Da Qin's current energy is focused on the war to destroy the country, and almost all supplies are concentrated in the army.
As a result, all the major government offices in the Great Qin court were living very hard, and they knew Zhao Shu's methods of making money.
Since Zhao Shu has his eye on the plow, they are also greedy. Even if Zhao Shu eats meat, if they take a sip of hot soup, it will make their life much easier.
At this moment, Wang Wan and Li Si looked at each other and said one after another: "Yes, our government agencies are involved in this, and the benefits cannot be taken by the young master alone..."
Even Qin Wangzheng looked over at this moment, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, this plowing is not profitable. It is for the thousands of common people in the Qin Dynasty. You cannot compete with the people for profit..." Zhao Shu was short of money. He wished that the court would allocate money, so how could he let go? .
"Haha, we are not competing with the people for profit, but we are working with the young master to contribute a little bit to thousands of people."
A sinister smile appeared on Wang Wan's face: "Speaking of which, young master, our government offices and the Zannai History Office will assist the Beidou Chamber of Commerce in this matter."
"We work as coolies, so we can't let anything get to us, not even a sip of soup, right?"
Seeing that Zheng Guo and Wang Wanli Si reached an agreement in an instant and stood on the same front, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile.
These people don't even give up their face for money and food.
"good!"
Zhao Shu smiled bitterly and said to everyone: "This plow was researched and made by the hive in my house, and the Beidou Chamber of Commerce is responsible for selling it."
"In addition, the official office of Zhi Nei Shi, the official office of the national government, as well as the king and me."
"Excluding the cost of the profit, 10% will be given to the internal history office, 10% to the king, 10% to the government office, and 10% to me."
"The remaining 60%, 10% belongs to the craftsmen who improved the plow, 10% belongs to the manufacturing craftsmen, and 40% belongs to the Beidou Chamber of Commerce."
Having said this, Zhao Shu turned to the crowd and said, "How do you think of this distribution?"
Hearing this, neither Qin Wangzheng nor Wang Wan and others refuted. They all knew that Zhao Shu's distribution was fair.
Although the Beidou Chamber of Commerce occupies the largest share, they all know that the Beidou Chamber of Commerce belongs to Zhao Shu in name but actually belongs to Qin Wangzheng.
Moreover, the Beidou Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the construction of Shanglin New City, spent money like water, and 40% was not much at all.
The most important thing is that even Zhao Shu and Qin Wangzheng each occupy 10%, and they also occupy 10%. Naturally, it is difficult to say anything.
"Gongzi Shu, the improved craftsmen occupy 10%, isn't it a bit too much?" At this moment, Wang Wan spoke, and for a while, everyone looked at Zhao Shu.
Even Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Shu with curiosity in his eyes.
After all, according to Zhao Shu's distribution, apart from him and Zhao Shu, these craftsmen who have improved occupy the most.
After all, they have seen the plow. If you want to improve it, you won’t need many craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, the general believes that these craftsmen should be encouraged to research and produce utensils that are beneficial to the Qin Dynasty."
"As long as it is reported to the government, as long as it has been tested at all levels and is effective, they should be allowed to take 10% of the revenue."
"To ensure their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and support for their families. Only in this way can we encourage craftsmen around the world to innovate."
"The general believes that production tools are an important factor in productivity, and a certain type of production tools marks a certain level of development of productivity."
"If there is no profit, how can we let them innovate? Not only will they live a worry-free life, but in the future, any discovery that benefits the country and the people should be written in a big book so that everyone in the world knows its name."
"In the history books of Da Qin, there are many records..."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became silent. Before that, Zhao Shu had already taken action and had a strong tendency to improve the merchant's status.
But now, from Zhao Shu's words, they can see that Zhao Shu is far more important to craftsmen than merchants.
"It's not much, they really deserve it!" At this moment, Qin Wangzheng spoke to break the heaviness of the atmosphere.
At present, the Qin Dynasty has not yet been unified, and his energy is involved in the unification. He does not want to start a big war in other directions.
