"Hey, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhao Long smiled when he heard this.

"hehe……"

Ying Zheng also smiled after hearing this, "Anyway, there is no time, just to relieve boredom, sir, right?"

"Haha, too..." 81zw.??m

Zhao Long laughed and then said, "That's the case. The so-called development of business is actually fundamentally about developing manufacturing."

Develop manufacturing?

"Yes, you can't do business empty-handedly, nor can you just sell the existing things in your hands to you. If you sell the existing things in your hands to me, that's not much."

Zhao Long smiled and said, "The essence of doing business is to provide convenience and then get paid.

So, there must be something right to provide convenience. If not, then you have to find or create it!

Therefore, the two major operations of doing business are to either go to other places to find a source of goods, or find ways to create a source of goods by yourself.

For example, if our village wants to sell paper, is there any other place? There are some other places, but at least there is no near our village, so we either go to other places to purchase or we produce it ourselves!"

"Um……"

After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng nodded slowly, "That's what it means."

“These are two major ways.”

Zhao Long smiled and said, "If it was the era when paper was not invented, by the way, for example, the Qin Dynasty had not invented paper, then you could not buy goods anywhere, so there was no need to buy or sell them at all.

”

"So you have to produce it yourself?"

Ying Zheng asked with a smile after hearing this.

"Who made it for you? No one could make paper at that time!"

Zhao Long smiled and said, "That's impossible!"

"Impossible? Haha, about it..."

Ying Zheng smiled at Wan'er and his expression was so playful, "If there is something that can be made, wouldn't it be unique?"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Li Si. Seeing this, Li Si suddenly looked embarrassed and nodded repeatedly, "It would be great if the Qin Dynasty had paper, which would definitely benefit the court!"

"Hey, you really dare to think..."

Zhao Long smiled immediately after hearing this, "If this is true, it will take the agreement of the Qin court. But during this Qin Dynasty, didn't Qin Shihuang have great restrictions on doing business? If you really invent it, then

Maybe it’s only for the powerful and nobles to use it!”

"If this is the case, wouldn't it also create a lot of revenue for the court?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked with interest.

"If he wants, of course, that's it, for example, the salt and iron at that time."

Zhao Long said, "The imperial court is actually the earliest state-owned enterprise."

"State-owned enterprise?"

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, "What is a state-owned enterprise?"

"It's the country's industry, but it's actually the government's industry, like half an iron rice bowl, so even now, there are still many people who are fighting hard and want to go in. They can make money and be stable. Who doesn't want to?"

Zhao Long shook his head with a smile after hearing this, "But that distance is still relatively far away. Our goal is to revitalize the countryside first!"

"Oh...but that's the case..."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and then said, "Sir, please continue!"

"good……"

Zhao Long nodded and continued, "The above mentioned above is to find a source of goods, and to create a source of goods, so doing business must rely on a strong manufacturing industry.

What does manufacturing need? It requires manpower and resources. One of the big resources is actually agricultural output.”

"Agriculture? That's naturally food?"

Ying Zheng asked immediately after hearing this.

"Food can only be considered one of them, and it is the most basic. In fact, to put it more broadly, the prelude to silkworm farming and wood can be regarded as agriculture, as long as it grows in the ground and is related to the ground.

All can be called agriculture.”

"It's true?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's actually providing raw materials to the manufacturing industry."

Zhao Long said, "This manufacturing industry is called industry in modern times. If it were in ancient times, it was called handicrafts, in fact, it was just handicrafts."

"Oh? So..."

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "If you want to run this manufacturing industry, you need manpower, and secondly, you also need food, or other animal husbandry, cutting, etc., and those who originally needed manpower, so this

Both require manpower? If so, is it enough that the powerful and powerful can only do business and manufacture, and let the lower-class people continue to work and livestock? In this way, there will be no shortage of food and livestock?"

"This idea is a little narrow, but it also makes some sense. It does not go against the farming season and is the foundation of the country."

Zhao Long smiled and continued, "But on the other hand, if there are too few people involved in business manufacturing, it will not make much sense to the entire country, because you are not big in scale, don't create much, and don't have social wealth.

It will add a lot."

"But what if you take away the working people and the livestock people and make the grain produce less?"

"Isn't the easiest way to improve grain production?"

Zhao Long smiled and said, "We have a saying that agriculture is the foundation of industry, and on the other hand, industry is the driving force of agriculture.

The meaning of this sentence is that agriculture provides the industry with all the raw materials needed, and the development of industry can promote agriculture!”

“Can it be promoted? How to promote it?”

"It's very simple and obvious that it is industrially produced fertilizers. Fertilizers can greatly promote agricultural harvests."

"Fertilizer? What if it was in ancient times? For example, during the Qin Dynasty?"

After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng felt a little disappointed. This fertilizer could not be produced in the Qin Dynasty.

You have said something about organic fertilizer, but you can try it back.

"If it was placed in the Qin Dynasty..."

Zhao Long smiled and said, "That's OK!"

"Oh? How to do it?"

“Produce agricultural tools!”

Zhao Long said, "In fact, there was already iron during the Qin Dynasty, but it was not so popular. If the Qin Dynasty could increase its use of iron and other metal utensils by the people, it would make it easier for the people to farm and cultivate more.

The wasteland improves the efficiency of farming and the effectiveness of farming. Do you think that increasing grain production is not a problem?

You don’t think about it. The land under the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty at that time, except for the Northeast Plain, basically all the modern arable land included! How big is that? Basically, 80% of the land that can be used as arable land, the Qin Dynasty at that time was at that time.

It already existed!

During the Qin Dynasty, there were only about 30 million people, and we now have more than one billion people. Wouldn't we still use the arable land to support it?"

Uh-huh?

What?

There are so many people in later generations?

And can you support it?

hiss?

After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was shocked, "So many people can still support them?"

"That's sure, our country has already gotten rid of the famine. Of course, what I'm talking about is most of the areas..."

Zhao Long said and touched his nose, "We are coming soon, don't worry!"

hiss?

After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was suddenly shocked!

Now the land occupied by the Qin Dynasty can actually support so many people in later generations?

And now, I am still worried about the lack of food production for 3,000 people?
