The simple rest time passed quickly, and the court continued with the singing and playing of the ministers.
The one-hour rest was a bit short, and the courtiers were obviously still a little out of sorts.
Upon seeing this, the First Emperor was not in a hurry to continue. Instead, he announced two small things to cheer up the officials.
"I plan to build a grain garden and add an official of internal history of reclamation and plantation, with a salary of two thousand dan, and a number of subordinate officials to raise grain seeds and specialize in agricultural affairs. For the time being, Shangqing Zhao Si will also take charge of it. Do you have any objections? "The First Emperor said.
Zhao Si cheered up after hearing this. The First Emperor thought more appropriately.
To put it bluntly, this is to directly add a Daqin grain breeding base. It certainly does not have a lot of power, and the department is certainly not too big, but the significance of this department is still quite great.
Plants can be cultivated artificially.
It is true that everything is still in its infancy, and even the first emperor specially added this department was only because of Zhao Si.
After all, Zhao Si's goods were genuine and could increase the grain production of the Qin Dynasty. The First Emperor simply did not want to use Zhao Si for nothing, so he built a venue and a small organization so that Zhao Si, a white-collar worker, could receive official salary while arranging for his own people to eat official food.
But for Zhao Si, the meaning is quite different.
When it comes to plant cultivation, it takes years or even decades or even decades or hundreds of years. Plant genetics has not even sprouted yet.
This department exists purely because of Zhao Si.
but! ! !
Zhao Si knew that human beings could interfere with the seed cultivation process, and he had so little knowledge in his mind. In this era, farmers had not yet been classified as low-ranking people. Although they were not considered outstanding scholars, they had many disciples.
Zhao Sichuan could completely use the rewards given to him by the First Emperor to carve out a world for the unpopular peasant children.
Anyway, this department is Zhao Si's back garden.
Research is slow, and theoretical practice requires funds and time?
Don't worry, with Zhao Si standing in front of you, when it comes to grains, as long as the harvest is plentiful, even if the Emperor Shi Huang pays money to the Grain Garden, no courtier would dare to question it.
The question is, if we don’t allocate R&D funds and the output is not enough, we won’t be able to scale up.
In this way, agricultural cultivation that requires a lot of time and money can be developed with peace of mind.
At least while Zhao Si is still alive, there is no need to worry about insufficient funds and policy support.
One year is not enough, ten years is not enough.
What about seventy or eighty years?
With sufficient funds and policy support for research in the 1970s and 1980s, we can finally lay some foundations, right?
In this way, even if Zhao Si returns to the west in the future, Da Qin's grain seeds will be gone, and Da Qin will not suddenly fall into the clouds.
In a few decades, with a large amount of funds and policy preferences, this group of peasant disciples might be able to achieve greater results than Zhao Si's Golden Finger.
After all, they are not doing boundless research. Zhao Si may not be very clear about the specific details, but he can point out the general direction. Fixed-point research is much simpler than finding a needle in a haystack.
The most important thing is that Zhao Si knows the final result.
The announcement by the First Emperor was not a big deal, and all civil and military officials knew where the grain came from.
Again, as long as Zhao Si can maintain high yields of grain in the future, none of the officials of the First Emperor would dare to object to the money invested in it.
In Da Qin, farming is the most serious battle!
After a whole day, this matter was the most unobjectionable.
This is what Zhao Si deserves, and no one is born with bad thoughts thinking about competing with Zhao Si. They are not Zhao Si and can increase grain production.
All the ministers agreed and confirmed the fact that Zhao Si's white-collar salary was two thousand shi.
Seeing that the officials had no objections, the First Emperor spoke again.
"In addition, I plan to build a beast garden for viewing. This matter will be handed over to the commander-in-chief." The First Emperor spoke again.
Because he was not sure whether it would succeed, the First Emperor didn't talk too much about the animal garden.
He just said that he planned to build a garden for fun, but never mentioned his true intention, and he didn't even mention Zhao Si at all.
Of course, after the animal garden is built, Zhao Si will definitely take charge of it and participate in animal breeding experiments.
"Your Majesty, the world is currently undergoing massive construction projects. Although Longxi is stable, South Vietnam..." Some officials questioned.
The First Emperor frowned and looked without saying a word, but his condensed gaze still made him feel stressed, and his voice became softer and softer in the end.
It took Shang Qing, who was about to be the Young Master, to speak in person to stabilize the situation: "It's not that this beast garden can't be built, but now that the treasury is empty, we still need to make a decision on where to build it and how big it should be."
"There is no need to spend extravagantly on large-scale construction projects. All you need to do is delineate an area large enough for horses to graze." The First Emperor waved his hand.
The First Emperor didn't really want to build a zoo, so there was no need for large-scale construction.
It was nothing more than enclosing a piece of land for horse racing and grazing to accommodate various animals for Zhao Si to cultivate.
When the First Emperor spoke, the Shang Qing, who was in charge of the Young Master's office, knew that if it was just a matter of enclosing land without the need for large-scale construction, the amount of work would not be very large, so he readily agreed.
Zhao Si looked at the few words and felt a little emotional.
"It has to be the First Emperor..."
The Grain Garden has been determined to be fine, and the First Emperor was not stingy with the benefits at all.
Not sure whether the zoo could be built, the First Emperor never mentioned Zhao Si, only saying that it was for his own viewing and use.
If there are benefits, the First Emperor will really give it, and if there are risks, the First Emperor will really bear it.
Again, such a leader is hard to find even with a lantern in modern times.
Two small things were settled lightly with the announcement of the First Emperor.
The ministers began to play...
Li Si got up and came out, the highlight of the second half was about to begin.
It is still shocking when he opens his mouth...
"Your Majesty, please clarify the internal and external garrison of the palace. In addition to Lang Zhongling, set up another Yulin Army to guard the palace. Lang Zhongling will separate it and guard Xianyang. In addition, now the maritime affairs are gradually getting back on track, and the gold and silver from Fuso are being transported back. However, The overseas country is far away, so it is necessary to set up another department to coordinate maritime affairs. I would like to request that in addition to the Jiuqing, there should be a shipping and trade military office to take charge of overseas military trade." Li Si said in a deep voice.
The ministers were in awe.
He opened his mouth just to seize the military power of Lang Zhongling.
The minister in charge of Lang Zhongling was Meng Yi. The loyal minister of the First Emperor faced off against Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. No one took sides. However, unexpectedly, the person involved, Meng Yi, did not react at all.
After a moment of silence, Meng Yi stood up and spoke.
"Prime Minister Li has thought deeply, and I second my opinion!"
Meng Yi was not a fool. If he could become one of the few people close to the First Emperor, he should understand why the First Emperor wanted to strip Lang Zhongling of his military power.
Again, the eldest son is coming back.
If the doctor does not lose his military power, then Meng Yi, the minister, will have to resign.
Compared with the overall interests of Lang Zhongling's department, it is obvious that bringing the eldest son who is far away from the political center back to Xianyang is the top priority now.
Meng Yi seconded the proposal...but Lang Guan, the commander of Lang Zhongling, did not second the proposal.
The military power did not belong to Meng Yi alone, but to Lang Zhongling's entire department, but he could not resist the boss taking the lead in betraying Lang Zhongling's interests. The important ministers knew that Meng Yi, Li Si and even the First Emperor must have reached some kind of tacit understanding, so they tacitly Silently, the objections of some Lang Guan were quickly ignored.
"That's fine, but who should be in charge of the Hangmao Military Mansion and the Yulin Army?" The First Emperor looked at Li Si with a smile on his face.
