"promise."
Xu Xing was a very realistic person, and when he saw Zhao Shu acting like this, he nodded quickly.
Attitudes change very quickly.
He knew in his heart that the conditions offered by Zhao Shu were very generous, which just solved his urgent need.
For a long time, famous scholars have respected Shennong as their teacher and regarded agriculture as the foundation of the country.
Farmer disciples live a very simple life, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes and making a living by making straw sandals and weaving mats.
They have no land and live a nomadic life.
They traveled across the Central Plains countries, not seeking high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but hoping to get a piece of land and a house so that they could settle down and engage in farming.
Now Zhao Shu gave them fields and spent money to support them and let them do what they wanted to do.
This is a huge opportunity for farmers.
On the land of the Central Plains, although farmers are valued while focusing on the basics and suppressing the weak, the country does not pay much attention to farmers.
Because in the Central Plains, countries want to dominate, and they like the hegemonic methods of Legalism.
Watching Xu Xing leave, Zhao Shu's eyes were full of smiles. The current leader of the farm family was really very interesting.
In the peasant family, the first leader was Xu Xing. From then on, just like the Mohist giant, the successive leaders of the peasant family all traveled the world in the name of Xu Xing.
Firstly, they came to preach for the Patriarch, and secondly, because the farmers were in dire straits and needed to use the Patriarch's name to attract more attention.
"Yaoyao, prepare the chariot, I want to enter Zhangtai Palace!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Yaoyao turned around and left.
Farmers are different from mathematicians.
At the moment, whether it is dividing the numerologists into three or establishing a school, let them pass on and let them flourish.
Zhao Shu alone can decide these things.
But the farmhouse is different.
He is a minister of the Qin Dynasty. Even though he is very powerful, he can decide to build a new academy with one word. However, under the Zhisu Neishi Official Office, the Ministry of Agriculture is established. This kind of change of the official structure of the Qin Dynasty needs to be reported to the King of Qin and get the nod from the King of Qin. .
Zhao Shu was very clear-headed about this matter. He knew in his heart that not reporting to the King of Qin would be tantamount to rebellion.
He may be a powerful minister in the future.
However, when the King of Qin was still in power, being a powerful minister was simply seeking death.
What's more, he also holds the Great Qin Warrior.
"Master, the chariot is ready. Do you want to enter the palace immediately?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded: "Wait half an hour and I'll prepare something."
"promise."
An hour later, Zhao Shu walked into the Zhangtai Palace, raised his hands towards Qin Wangzheng, and said: "General, I will pay my respects to the king. The king will last ten thousand years, and the Qin will last ten thousand years -!"
"The Master Technique is here!"
Qin Wangzheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, smiled at Zhao Shu, and said: "You are not attending a court meeting, so there is no need to be polite."
"sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sitting down behind the desk beside him, Zhao Shu poured himself a cup of herbal tea.
"You came to the palace today. Do you have anything to do?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shu put down the tea cup and said to King Qin Zheng: "Your Majesty, Xu Xing, the leader of the peasant family, has promised that the general will be willing to join Qin."
"I gave them some conveniences, and I need your Majesty's approval!"
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Qin Wangzheng didn't take it seriously. He naturally knew clearly about Zhao Shu's appointment with the farmer leader.
"As long as it's not a big deal, you can make the decision yourself. You don't have to report everything to others!"
"Your Majesty, this is no small matter!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu's attitude was extremely resolute, and he said to Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, I have made an agreement with Xu Xing that he will lead the peasant family to Qin and become my great Qin peasant family!"
"We, Da Qin, will establish the Ministry of Agriculture under the Office of Historian in Zhisu Nei."
"Xu Xing is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, specializing in cultivating grain seeds and fertilizing the soil, and then promoting it through the millet control and history office to increase grain harvests."
"At the same time, the farmers' research over the years will be promoted to the whole world."
"In addition, with the theme of peasant classics and research, and in conjunction with the years of experience of the Daqin Dynasty's administrative office in Su Nei, the "Nongshu" was compiled."
"Then, our Great Qin imperial court will fund the establishment of the Great Qin Agricultural Academy. We will use Xu Xing to offer wine, and the outstanding disciples of the farmers and those who govern the Su Nei History Office will serve as tutors."
"To cultivate talents for Da Qin and farmers, these students from the academy will also serve as apprentices in Da Qin's official offices after graduation."
"As long as the apprenticeship period expires, they can participate in the assessment. As long as they pass the assessment, they will be sent to the official offices of counties and counties in Daqin to guide agriculture."
.......
After listening to what Zhao Shu said, Qin Wangzheng thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Shu, and said, "Master Shu, are you very interested in farmers?"
"This is the second person that I have seen you attach so much importance to among hundreds of schools of thought in these years."
"The last person to receive such courtesy from you was Qin Mo and the Gongshu family."
Taking a sip of the herbal tea, Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, food is the most important thing for the people, and it is our national policy of Great Qin to focus on the basics and suppress the weak."
"Furthermore, since Lord Shang's reform, our country, Great Qin, has used the farming system to support the elites of Great Qin."
"Farmers, in the eyes of the general, are far more useful than a few families."
"This matter is of great importance and requires the king's decision!"
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng also nodded and said: "You are right, farmers do have some use."
"Food is the foundation of the people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the country is the foundation of the king."
"This is why I, the ruler, rely on heaven's timing at the top, use earth's wealth below, and use human power in the middle. This is due to the growth of groups and the multiplication of grains."
"As for the farm matter, I have agreed. You can take care of it yourself. It is not impossible to add an agricultural department."
"At the Zhisu Nei History Office, I will issue a royal edict!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly turned to King Qin Zheng and said, "General, thank you, Your Majesty!"
In Zhao Shu's view, farmers have a lot to do with his plan. Once he goes south to occupy the Indochina Peninsula, farmers will naturally need to take action to cultivate seeds.
He knew in his heart that Champa rice alone could not be promoted on a large scale at the beginning, and it still needed to be bred.
He didn't ask for it. The farmers were just like the saint of later generations who developed such high-yielding rice, but being able to increase the yield was of epoch-making significance to the Qin Dynasty.
In the current Daqin, it is difficult to obtain potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes from South America. Under such circumstances, cultivating rice seeds is the top priority.
Moreover, neither potatoes nor corn can replace rice and grain, so the existence of farmers is crucial.
Even if potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are obtained in the future, farmers will still need to optimize breeding.
Only in this way can production be increased.
"Whatever I do, Mr. Xie, you do it for Da Qin, not for yourself!"
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng smiled and said: "Even if I am editing the book "Nongshu", the author will not be Gongzi Shu!"
