Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 221 Ying Zheng Hears It and Wants to Be Rescued
Now he is not afraid anymore!Although the treasury is not larger than it was at its peak, it has been increasing.

As long as it's increasing, there's hope!You don’t have to panic at all to be an emperor!

In addition to business matters, there is also the distribution of potato seeds.

Su Chen's system is still very useful at critical moments.

After receiving the potatoes from the flooded area, Su Chen received a lot of potatoes for a week.

Su Chen distributed all the potatoes, along with planting methods.

Now that all potatoes have been distributed, the county governments must preserve them properly so that they can be planted in all directions after the winter.

There were a lot of potato seeds this time. Su Chen made a rough estimate and ensured that 50% of the land in each county could be planted.

That's enough.

Potatoes are planted in two seasons, some can be stored after harvesting in spring, and all harvested in winter can be eaten.

In addition, there is also good news from General Meng Yi.

Cotton has been found, and General Meng Yi keeps sending seeds and a lot of cotton.

General Meng Yi revealed that he is already preparing for the entire army to wear cotton clothes.

What a surprise!

With these things, Su Chen no longer has to worry about keeping warm.

As for the charcoal burning that has already begun, he mentioned it in every county across the country.

In order to prevent soil erosion, Su Chen also asked Li Si, who came back from the outside, to formulate a set of strict laws.

Every time a tree is felled, a sapling must be replenished, and its survival must be guaranteed for two years.

Trees to be felled have different diameter limits depending on the tree.

And the felling of trees in an area must not exceed a certain range.

These can effectively curb the occurrence of debris flows.

Any offenders will be punished heavily.

Su Chen is an environmentalist in her later life, and she is absolutely relentless when it comes to environmental issues.

Ying Zheng supported most of Su Chen's suggestions. Even if he didn't understand, he still felt that what the master did was reasonable.

Otherwise, how could his treasury have risen so much in two months?

Of course, he also knew that he didn't care about the money at all.

By next fall, he will have to spend a lot of flowers out to resist the cold winter.

But this is not a problem, as long as the snowstorm is over, the national treasury can still rise.

Whenever he thinks of the golden treasury, Ying Zheng feels extremely comfortable.

Now, he was sitting in the study, and when Su Chen said that he was going to open a bookstore, he almost didn't even think about it, so he immediately agreed.

Whatever Su Chen said now, he wanted to agree immediately.

Once you agree, it will all be money!

Of course he is not that reserved, as an emperor, he still has the majesty of an emperor.

"Su Aiqing, are you really going to open a bookstore?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.

[Nonsense, if you don’t open a bookstore, I ask you what to do? 】

[It is difficult to talk to veteran cadres. 】

Ying Zheng didn't know what a veteran cadre was, but he understood that Su Chen was expressing his dissatisfaction with him.

Can't I ask?Still think I'm talking nonsense?
Didn’t you know that talking nonsense is the first step in human relationships?

Ying Zheng really wanted to teach this young man a lesson.

But for the sake of money, he still tolerated it.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I want to open a bookstore and sell paper."

"Selling paper? If it's just selling books, I would allow it. It's just selling paper."

Ying Zheng didn't finish his sentence, he couldn't just say what's wrong with selling paper.

The superior will not talk too much to the subordinate.

Su Chen: Sure enough, he is still a veteran cadre.

Ying Zheng's concern is that if the paper is sold, whoever wants to rebel can just write on the paper.

The cost of rebellion is too low.It will be used by people with bad intentions.

Su Chen understood his concerns. Today's writing tools are mostly bamboo slips, while wealthy people use silk.

Whether it is bamboo slips or silk, it is more troublesome to rebel.

Although bamboo slips are cheap, they are not as clear as paper.

Although silk has the characteristics of paper, it is too expensive.

The cost of rebellion is too high, and it is not as convenient as verbal incitement.

But when paper appeared, it was cheaper than silk and easier to transport than bamboo slips. It was a weapon for rebellion.

However, if paper is not allowed to spread widely because of fear of being rebelled by people using paper, it is purely out of fear.

"Your Majesty, if you worry about someone writing badly on paper, you're totally wrong."

Su Chen looked directly at Ying Zheng and said.

"Paper is the same as bamboo slips. It can record all kinds of talents and learning. If paper is only popular in the palace and can only print books on bamboo slips, then how can there be so many talented people all over the country to show their talents?"

"If there are papers for them to express, and for more people to see and benefit, then His Majesty must benefit in the end."

"They will use what they have learned all their lives to bring all kinds of wealth to the people of Daqin."

Ying Zheng was a little moved by Su Chen, Su Chen suspected that the word "wealth" should move him the most.

"I heard that as long as the people are rich, the society will be stable."

"If His Majesty is worried about rebellion and I think the people should be fed and clothed, who would have the time to rebel?"

Ying Zheng: The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have leisure.

But Ying Zheng didn't say anything, he knew that the reason why the remnants of the Six Kingdoms wanted to rebel was because the identity of the unyielding nobleman disappeared.

But as Su Chen said, if all the Qin people in the world can be made rich, can the remnants of the Six Kingdoms still succeed?

"But this paper—"

Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted:
"Your Majesty, paper is only the carrier of words. If you forbid the use of paper because you are afraid of writing rebellious words, what is the difference from giving up food because of choking?"

[Brother Ying, can you do it?Not the emperor?Why are you so indecisive? 】

[Paper is not dared to be used by the common people, so how can we cultivate talents? 】

[Think that talents really fell from the sky?If the paper is not passed on, is it possible to rely on the palace to transcribe the book and print the book? 】

[Just such a small amount, it would be good to be able to spread the word of Xianyang City. 】

[Ying Zheng doesn't think that his few books are books in the whole world, does he? 】

【There are too many books in the world, and there are too many capable people in the world. How can people learn from each other without recording it on paper and spreading it everywhere? 】

Ying Zheng: I'm not narrow-minded, I'm really worried about rebellion, okay?

Every time I listen to Su Chen's voice, it is a thrilling process.

I want to hear the useful things in it, but I am also afraid of hearing things that can't save me if I pinch someone.

Su Chen has had enough of complaining, seeing that Ying Zheng has been silent, he had no choice but to say tactfully:
"Your Majesty, all capable people in the world need paper. You need capable people, right?"

Ying Zheng wanted to be rescued after hearing this.

What do I need?Can you remove the last two question words?

How much I need capable people, don't you, Su Chen, know?
Ying Zheng didn't dare to be silent anymore, if he kept silent, he didn't know what earth-shattering words Su Chen was going to say again.

"I understand what Su Aiqing means, just wait for the notice."

Although I have been convinced by you, I am also the emperor and need to be careful.

Without three requests and three pushes, I would not be able to speak directly.
