Da Qin: Comparing his sons, Ying Zheng was sour.

[After silently digesting Prince Fusu's words about "valuing the hearts of the people and respecting and loving the people", Xu Zi looked at Prince Fusu's final examination and asked: "Then what do you think about the final 'end of agriculture'?"

[Prince Fusu nodded and replied: "The idea of 'agriculture-based and business-end' advocated by the farmer can be understood separately into two aspects: 'agriculture-based' and 'business-end'. "】

["Let's talk about 'agriculture' first, first of all, agriculture is the basic means to ensure the survival of the people of Qianshou!"]

["The country must take the people of Qianshou as its root, and the people of Qianshou take the grain as their life. "】

["If the people of Qianshou have no grain, then the country will lose its foundation. "】

Therefore, the state and the monarch must give priority to the development of agricultural production. "】

["And things like pearls, jade, gold, and silver can neither be eaten as food, nor can they be used as clothing, and they are worthless to those people who are still hungry and cold. "】.

["Secondly, a strong army is the fundamental guarantee of national stability!"]

"And the most important thing for the army is sufficient rations and a stable supply of soldiers, both of which need to be provided through the development of agriculture. "】

["Again, agriculture is the premise and guarantee of moral education!"]

["Persuading the people to engage in agriculture will make the people of Qianshou simple and simple, and it will be easy for the rulers to use and serve. "】

["Persuading the people to engage in agriculture will also make the people of Qianshou behave seriously, reduce the chances of forming a party for personal gain, and plot rebellion, and tie the people to the land to prevent them from moving at will. "】

["Finally, we will ensure the implementation of the decree and reduce the factors of social instability. "】

Therefore, based on the above benefits and needs, it is necessary to put agriculture in the fundamental position of a country's development. "】

["Commerce, on the other hand, is the source of destruction and loss of social wealth in peasant thinking!"]

["Merchants do not create wealth, but only take other people's products, buy them cheaply and sell them expensively, and then make a profit from them. "】

["At the same time, the merchants did not cultivate and produce, but they still had to eat and clothe, and they had to consume a large amount of grain and cloth produced by the people of Qianshou. "】

["And the people of Qianshou work more and reap less, but the merchants pay less and gain more, this contrast and contrast will cause the loss of agricultural labor. "】

["The loss of agricultural labor will affect the normal cultivation of agriculture. "】

"If farming is affected, then the country's grain harvest will be affected. "】

["If the country's grain harvest is affected, or even if the grain output is insufficient, then it is very likely to cause famine and turmoil among the people of Qianshou, which is not conducive to the stability of the country's society. "】

["Therefore, it is necessary to put commerce at the bottom of a country's development, and require the state and the monarch to take the initiative to narrow and 693 control the scope of commercial activities, so that they will not become an obstacle to agricultural activities. "】

["This is the farmer's proposition of 'agriculture and business', I wonder if my understanding is fallacious?"]

[Xu Zi nodded and affirmed: "There is no fallacy in your understanding!"]

["But as you just said, is there anything wrong with that?"]

[Even in Xu Zi's opinion, when Prince Fusu can understand and realize these contents, then he should not have a different view on the point of "agriculture-based business", but completely agree with the "agriculture-based business-end". 】

[Prince Fusu shook his head and said: "Let's talk about the first point first, 'Nongben' is right, no matter what, the people of Qianshou must be able to eat enough. "】

["If you can't even feed the people of Qianshou, then there is no need to say anything else. "】

["But what if we can make the people of Qianshou have enough to eat in the future?"]

["What if the current per capita yield per mu is three stones (0.69 city mu yield 84 catties), can become four stones per mu (0.69 city mu yield 112 catties), or even can become five stones per mu (0.69 city mu yield 140 catties)?"]

["So at this time, do you want to continue to be agriculture-oriented?"]

["Or, while focusing on agriculture, can we vigorously develop other industries at the same time?"]

["For example, pay equal attention to agriculture and industry?"]

["Or is it that agriculture and commerce are equally important?"]

["Or is it that the scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are parallel?"]

["The Tao moves with time, and nothing is eternal. "】

["In other words, the only thing that remains eternal is 'change'. "】

["Therefore, the point of 'agriculture' and 'agriculture first' is right now, but I don't think it will necessarily be right in the future, and it is necessary to leave room for change, transferability, and change in the future. "】

[Hearing the words of the crown prince Fusu, Xu Zi immediately couldn't help but interrupt: "Do you really think that in the future, you will be able to produce four stones per mu, or even five stones per mu?"

[To be honest, although in the past six months, the prince Fusu has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and other resources for their farmers. 】

[However, many of the farmer's research has only just begun.] 】

[After all, it will take half a year to more than a year at the earliest for the farmer's research. 】

[If you want to repeatedly verify, verify, and determine, then it will take years, or even more than ten years, to come up with a result. 】

[Therefore, for the prince Fusu's statement that the yield per mu is four stones, and the yield per mu is five stones, Xu Zi hopes that there will really be such a high yield per mu. 】

[However, Xu Zi was afraid that he and others would spend countless manpower and material resources, and in the end they would be happy. 】

[Prince Fusu smiled and affirmed: "Even if Master Xu doesn't believe what I say, he should also believe in the down-to-earth research of other peasant children. "】

["Even if Master Xu doesn't believe in the research of other peasant children, he should at least believe me. "】

["In the past six months, in addition to learning various farmer words from Master Xu, I have also learned a lot from Master Xu about various farming methods. "】

"And I also have some ideas of my own that I have not yet put into practice. "】

["If it proves feasible, I think it should be possible to increase the yield of some grain per mu. "】

[Hearing the words of the crown prince Fusu, not only Xu Zi looked excited, but even King Yingzheng of Qin on the side also had his eyes lit up. 】

["Let's go, let's go to the Sixth Division of the Ministry of Agriculture now!"]

[As he spoke, Xu Zi got up and prepared to take Prince Fusu to the Sixth Division of the Ministry of Agriculture to verify Prince Fusu's idea. 】

[In the six months that he has taught Prince Fusu, he knows how smart Prince Fusu is. 】

[Even if it wasn't clear before, but just now Prince Fusu has an in-depth understanding of the various ideas and propositions of the farmer. 】

[And the different opinions that are reasonable put forward after in-depth understanding, which is enough to prove once again the wisdom of Prince Fusu.] 】

[And such intelligence, if it is placed on the same level as the current farming method, then Xu Zi can't imagine how far Prince Fusu can advance the improvement of the current farming method!]

[Maybe the prince Fusu said that the yield of four stones per mu and five stones per mu is really hopeful!]

[Prince Fusu, who was sitting opposite Xu Zi, also showed a look of crying and laughing and said, "Master Xu, I haven't finished talking yet!"

[Xu Zi waved his hand and said excitedly: "The rest of them don't matter!"

["Hey, you have an idea to improve the current farming method, you should have told me earlier!"]

["If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have wasted time taking the exam for you here and there. "】

[For Xu Zi, nothing is more important than farming. 】

[This is true even for the new peasant mentality, in the face of new farming methods that may increase the yield per acre of grain!]

[Prince Fusu's face was even more helpless and said: "I'm not in a hurry at this time, I'm really not in a hurry at this time!"]

["There's only a little bit left, just listen to me first, Master Xu. "】

[Prince Fusu is a bit obsessive-compulsive, if he didn't say the peasant idea at the beginning, he should first study the new farming method he thought of. 】

[But now that we have talked about the peasant idea, there is only a little bit left.] 】

[Therefore, the crown prince Fusu must also finish it thoroughly, and then he can let go of this matter, and then go to discuss the new cultivation method with Xu Shi and others. 】

[Hearing this, Xu Zi sat down directly next to the prince Fusu, and urged: "Then you hurry up, and after speaking, we will go to the Sixth Division of the Ministry of Agriculture!"

[Seeing this, the prince Fusu could only say helplessly: "I just said 'Nongben', and then said 'Shang Mo'. "】

["I don't think it's right or wrong for farmers to think that 'businessmen don't create wealth, but just take other people's products, buy them cheaply and sell them expensively, and then make a profit from them.'" "】

["Just as I said before that there is a distinction between 'laborers' and 'laborers', businessmen are also 'laborers' in another sense. "】

["After all, it is not easy to know what materials are lacking in a certain place, and then what materials to sell in the past, and at what price to sell them to earn the highest profits. "】

["Merchants also need to go through prior research, and then painstakingly calculate, and finally be able to decide how to buy cheap and sell expensive. "】

["This kind of behavior is also a kind of 'labor'. "】

["In addition, although the merchants buy cheap and sell expensively, they also take on the responsibility of balancing the surplus or scarce materials in various places in the process. "】

["For example, because of a bumper harvest in a certain place, the wheat harvested this year can not only meet the food and drink of your family in the coming year, but even have a large amount of surplus. "】

["Then the merchants can buy the surplus wheat in the local area, and then transfer it to other areas where wheat is scarce to sell. "】

In this process, local wheat farmers can sell their surplus wheat and then use the money and materials they get to buy other daily necessities. "】

"This is a beneficial behavior for local farmers. "】

["And the merchant then transferred the surplus wheat to other areas where wheat was scarce, and raised a certain price to sell it. "】

["In the process, the merchant made a certain profit from it. "

"And the areas where wheat is scarce are also replenished with excess wheat, so that the local people can also eat wheat. "】

["This is also a good thing for the merchants and the local people of Qianshou who lack wheat. "】

["Therefore, as long as it is properly controlled, we will not let the black-hearted businessmen lower the price of the farmers who have a good harvest of wheat too much, and the black-hearted businessmen will not maliciously raise the price of wheat when selling. "】

["Then this whole process of buying and selling is an act of mutual benefit of three parties. "】

"To a certain extent, I think there is a need for support for such behavior. "】

["Secondly, I also think that it is not right or wrong for the peasants to think that 'the merchants do not cultivate and produce, but still have to eat and cloth, and consume a large amount of grain and cloth produced by the common people of Qianshou'. "】

["Although it is true that the merchants did not farm and produce, but also ate and clothed, and consumed a large amount of grain and cloth produced by the people of Qianshou, this process of consumption is also a process of promoting production. "】

["Because there is a demand for consumption, it will prompt people to increase production for it. "】

["And to increase production, it will require more manpower to be put into it."] "】

["And the need for more manpower means that there are more people who can make a living from it. "】

["And more Qianshou people can make a living from this, then these Qianshou people will have perseverance, and then have perseverance. "】

["In the end, the people of Qianshou will live in peace and stability, and it will not become a factor of social turmoil in the country. "】

["And in the process of consumption and trading of merchants, the state can also collect taxes and also obtain a lot of income. "】

["Therefore, I think that before commerce exceeds a certain level, the buying and selling and consumption of those merchants are also beneficial to the state and the people of Qianshou. "】

["In the end, the peasants think that 'the common people of Qianshou work more and reap less, and the merchants pay less and reap more, and this contrast and contrast will cause the loss of agricultural labor', I also think it is not right. "】

["At the beginning, there will definitely be a lot of people in Qianshou who feel that the business of buying and selling, pay less and gain more, and they are envious, and then choose to become merchants instead of farming. "】

["But it is not so easy for merchants to do business and make a profit. "】

["If you want to be a businessman, then first of all, you must be able to do mathematics. "】

["If you don't even know how to do the math, then how can you engage in business and trade, and benefit from it accurately, without losing money?"]

["And among the people of Qianshou, how many people can be able to do sorcery?"]

["After you know how to do the math, you also have to have a certain vision, be able to see what is lacking, and what things are transported to buy and sell, so that you can make money from it. "】

["This is more difficult than requiring the number of techniques. "】

["And even if you can meet the first two points, you still have to bear the risk of the third point of unsuccessful trading."] "】

["For example, on the way to transport supplies, I met jackals, tigers and leopards, or bandits, etc."] "】

["Ordinary people of Qianshou can keep their materials from being lost under such circumstances, or will they not be looted?"]

["Can you even save your life under the circumstances mentioned above?"]

["Even if he saves his life, but all the materials transported are gone, can ordinary people in Qianshou afford such a loss?"]

["Even in the process of transportation, the materials were smoothly transported to the place where they were sold. "】

["But because it was too late to go, there were already peers who sold there first, or the local people of Qianshou no longer needed it. "】

["And then they can't sell it, and then they lose their capital, so can ordinary people in Qianshou afford such losses?"]

["And a large number of Qianshou people poured into commerce, but there are so many transactions and profits that can be made in commerce. "】

["If ten businessmen are in the same type of commercial transaction, then maybe these ten businessmen can still make money. "】

["But if a hundred merchants, or even a thousand merchants, are in the same type of commercial business, then can all of them really make money?"

["This must be impossible!"]

["So in the end, at least 900 businessmen can't earn money and benefits from it, and what will happen to these 900 businessmen who can't earn money and benefits?"]

["Of the last nine hundred merchants, most of them will return to farming. "】

["Because they can't make money and profits through commercial transactions, if they don't farm, then their family will starve to death."] "】

["Therefore, I think that the state and the monarch need to exercise a certain amount of control over merchants and commercial transactions, but there is no need to excessively suppress or restrict them. "】

["Because of the various prerequisites and risks involved in commercial transactions, most of the people in Qianshou will be discouraged. "】.
