Chapter 89 Governing the Country with Agriculture
From then on, Chen Bing and others would not need to worry about the military farming.
The artillery master changed his work to making waterwheels and overturns, and then he received a group of outsiders.
It is well deserved to say it is "reception".
Because every day, a large number of people from all over the country come to learn how to make it.
There were also Julu and Taiyuan counties in this county, and even other counties in the Qin State sent many people.
There are all kinds of identities, and none of them have been left behind.
There is no problem for the three types of scholars, farmers and workers to study.
A scholar is an intellectual.
In this era, it is generally believed that more scholars learn more quickly, so that they can learn to teach them before going back to teach them. There is nothing wrong with it.
Agricultural workers have direct interests, especially workers, which is the industry.
As for the businessman who came to learn too... Chen Bing couldn't understand. What's the use of learning this water truck?
The businessman's remarkable answer:
"This is a water-drawing tool."
"We can take advantage of the fact that it has not yet become popular."
“Sell it to the farmers who need it again…”
Shen Bing was speechless.
No wonder the businessmen in this era have such a low status, and they always look for opportunities to get stuck in others' necks.
For example, batch production of water trucks and overturning.
From the perspective of farmers, merchants take advantage of their rush to raise prices.
From the perspective of workers, businessmen will steal their jobs and even lower the price.
From the perspective of the state, merchants buy low and sell high and do not pay taxes, which harms workers and farmers' interests indirectly reduces national tax revenue...
So it is common for businessmen to be so unpopular.
However, these are not related to Shen Bing's business. The artillery master did his own thing anyway, so the others stood by and visited.
You can rest assured that you have a stare at Shen Bing in production and management.
There are some services in the reception.
Although this guy Cang looked like he was useless, he was still very good at speaking. He always whispered "What's wrong with my senior brother?", which made those people stunned.
Chen Bing moved a folding stool and sat under the tree to cool off, and took a few sips of rice wine sent by Yang Duan and the messenger... Although the rice wine tasted bad, there should be no such high requirements in this era.
Then he leaned on the tree with some alcohol and took a nap, and before he knew it, it became dark.
At this time, Chen Bing, who was sleeping comfortably, had already left the matter of discussing agriculture behind.
Still came to remind him:
"Worker, the hour of Xu is approaching, your appointment with the inner historian..."
Chen Bing opened his eyes, yawned and stretched, and replied in a daze:
"Is it almost time for Xu?"
"Fortunately, Master Zuo reminded me, but I forgot about this."
"By the way, where is Xu Ying staying? Can you go by carriage?"
My chin almost fell off in surprise.
But of course, Xun would not blame anything. He pointed out the direction for Chen Bing and shook his head secretly as he looked at his departure back.
You should know that when it comes to agriculture, you usually don’t invite outsiders to participate.
What a great opportunity to become famous, but the engineer can forget it?
Xu Ying's residence is not far from the cultivated land, and he arrives in a quarter of an hour's walk.
This place of residence is actually upon request.
As a farmer, you should live in a farmhouse and beside the cultivated land.
Otherwise, Wang Jian would have arranged several rooms for Xu Ying in the city.
When it comes to agriculture, it is outside the hospital.
This may also be a tradition of farmhouses, where farmhouses are generally smaller and cannot accommodate too many people.
The decoration is very simple. Just lay a few mats on the floor and set a few tables, then light a torch and light it up.
What surprised Chen Bing was that there were water trucks and overturned trucks in the river and ditches next to the farmhouse.
Many people are watching nearby.
But thinking about it makes me feel normal.
When it comes to agriculture, it means discussing and exchanging experience.
Now two new water diversion artifacts have been added, of course they need to be displayed, and then brought to the world by these peasants.
In this ancient times when business was underdeveloped, farmers used this method to achieve the purpose of disseminating technology.
Otherwise, if we only rely on the people to spread it to ten or hundreds of people, we don’t know how long it will take to spread it from one end of Qin to that end.
When he saw Chen Bing coming, Xu Ying excitedly introduced to everyone:
"This is the artillery craftsman who made the water truck and overturned, Shen Bing!"
All his eyes were instantly focused on Chen Bing, and then his hands were arching:
"The worker is polite!"
"A great talent for craftsmen!"
"I've met a worker."
...
Most of the peasant children dressed by these farmers are scholars. Although they demand themselves as farmers, they will inevitably keep some etiquette and sourness.
Everyone took their seats after making some polite decisions.
Shen Bing was arranged on Xu Ying's right hand side.
During the Qin Dynasty, the right was respected, which means that Shen Bing was treated as a distinguished guest who was only under Xu Ying.
It doesn’t matter if the Shen Bing is a noble man, and it is worthless in his eyes.
However, Zhang Ge, who was sitting opposite, looked at Chen Bing as if he was about to spit out a fire.
Xu Ying raised his upper body and bowed to the surroundings, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"If a scholar did not farm in the past, the world might suffer from hunger."
"If a woman fails to achieve success in the past, the world may suffer from the cold."
"My farmer has been founded for more than a hundred years. I have always taken the world as my responsibility and made serving the country a long-cherished desire!"
...
Hearing this Shen Bing couldn't help but frown.
Although he could understand Xu Ying's words, why did he feel that he was talking a little too big?
Just farming!
If it is understandable to say that for the suffering of the people, how can it be related to the rise and fall of the world and the long-term pursuit of the country?
But if you think about it carefully, if planting a good field can make the people rich and the national treasury full, it can be considered as serving the country.
However, the next sentence made Chen Bing realize that he had misunderstood.
Just listened to Xu Ying and continued:
"The people are hungry and the world is in chaos."
"The people's feet will be prosperous in the world."
"Therefore, the wise and the people farm together and eat, and the food is eaten, and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is dried and the food is
The sinking soldiers understood this.
The farmer thought that the war was because some people couldn't eat enough.
Because I couldn't eat enough, I had to snatch it and kill it.
If everyone has enough food, they don’t need to rob and kill it, and then the world will be peaceful.
Therefore, if a wise man governs the country, he should farm with the people and eat together to develop agriculture...
No wonder this group of scholars is willing to demand themselves as farmers.
Chen Bing had thought that their ambitions should not just fill the people's stomachs.
But it turned out...
Is this a pity?
Or not to say it out loud?
After thinking about it, Chen Bing felt that it would be better not to say it out.
Not to mention that this is the foundation of the farmer. To put it bluntly or convince them may mean the dissolution of the farmer.
Furthermore, what if you don’t say it out loud?
Although they don’t know the truth, at least there is still a group of people working hard to study the way of farming.
At least there is a group of people who are willing to share their worries and sorrows for farmers.
At least there is such a group of people striving for their ideals.
