Chapter 470 All civil and military officials go to court
The huge square in front of the palace is connected with the palace gate and city wall, as if it is cast from a complete piece of metal.
Walking quickly towards the main hall, what you see along the way is completely different from before. The entire palace not only has the sacred atmosphere of the past, but also gives people a feeling of indestructibility.
Even the imperial guards and inner guards who usually stood on both sides disappeared. The palace seemed empty. The huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously poured into the body. Once it entered the body, it was directly transformed into cultivation and incorporated into the meridians.
Many ministers just took a few steps and directly broke through to a higher level.
Although I had known that the imperial palace was extraordinary, this scene was the first time that all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty had seen it.
But now no one cares about their own cultivation. Instead, they are constantly running through all the speculations in their minds, with extremely cautious expressions on their faces.
When you walk into the main hall, the first thing you see is His Majesty sitting above you.
Unlike in the past, he waited for all the ministers to enter before entering the hall. This time, His Majesty was already sitting there with a cold face, without any expression on his face.
On both sides of His Majesty, the four ladies in the inner study stood on opposite sides, with equally cold faces, and murderous intent could even be seen in their eyes.
Wang Chu bent down and saluted upward, but did not straighten up. Instead, he kept bending down and saluting.
It would be rude to enter the hall later than His Majesty, and judging from His Majesty's expression, I knew something big was going to happen.
He is the chief minister of the cabinet. There are major events in the country, and he can never be separated from them.
After Wang Chuan came Li Si, Zhang Juzheng and the six ministers.
Wang Jian on the other side bowed in the same way, with a serious look on his face.
All the civil and military ministers entered the palace. The huge palace suddenly lit up, the floor tiles under their feet turned into crystal, the huge pillars disappeared, and the space became extremely vast.
"I took a trip with the imperial concubine this time, and everything I saw shocked me!" Zhao Wen's voice was very calm, but he seemed to be suppressing endless anger.
"I am guilty!" All the civil and military officials said in unison, their faces changed at the same time.
“I won’t tell you whether I’m guilty or not!”
"Since the day I ascended the throne, I have said that every household in Da Qin will have an iron farm tool in their home. Although Da Qin continues to move people, it also collects weapons from various worlds, as well as iron tools that I brought back from other worlds. , who can tell me where these metals are used?"
"Many people only have one piece of clothing at home. Whoever goes out wears it. Others can only hide at home or go out to work at night. Why is there such a shortage of clothing?"
"Among the seeds I brought back were cotton seeds, but no one ever mentioned where they were planted?"
"The people are reclaiming wasteland wantonly, and the land they have reclaimed is too much for them to plant. Rich households cannot recruit enough labor for the cultivated land in their homes. Who should be responsible for leaving a large amount of cultivated land idle?"
"When I was in Jiujiang County, I was building a medical college, but now, there are still many places in Daqin that are short of doctors!"
Zhao Wen slowly turned his head to look at Wen Wu below, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to solidify.
Let’s forget about other things. Let’s just talk about metals. Every world brings back tens of millions of weapons. If these were all cast into agricultural tools, it would never happen that the people of Qin were still using wooden or even stone tools. situation.
"Back to Your Majesty, after these weapons were re-smelted, they were distributed to the county soldiers and the field soldiers. Especially the field soldiers, each one has a set of tools, which requires a lot of gold and iron. There are also farms in the Shaofu in various places. A lot of farm tools!" Shi Teng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said.
It is common sense to give priority to the army first. The property of the Shaofu is the accumulation of the Qin treasury and must be allocated first. This is also his duty. He has a clear conscience about this matter.
Zhao Wen calculated that tens of millions of field soldiers, plus millions of county soldiers, as well as Shaofu farms set up in each county, the number of tools required was immediately speechless.
"I have reclaimed 100,000 acres of farms in the northwest, all of which are planted with cotton. All the new clothes in the army this year are made of newly planted cotton!"
The Shaofu ordered Liu Bang to step forward and said with cupped hands: "But even if I try my best, the people are still unwilling to move to the northwest. As for cultivation in other areas, the quality and yield cannot be compared with the northwest!"
As he spoke, Liu Bang also had a look of helplessness on his face. There were too many fields in Daqin now. If there was no other way, no one would be willing to go to the northwest. Therefore, he had the best cotton seeds in his hands, but was unable to expand planting.
If it were before, he would have dispersed to various parts of the Qin Dynasty, but from the classics brought back by His Majesty, we can see that only the northwest is the best place for planting, and planting in other places will get twice the result with half the effort.
"There are mature fields lying idle everywhere. I hereby order all counties to conduct strict inspections!" Wang Chuo was the last one to come out, bowed and saluted.
The reason why the land is idle is because there are a lot of projects going on, and His Majesty has raised the wages extremely high. The wages that ordinary people can earn by working there are far more than those working as part-time workers for wealthy households.
When food prices are extremely low, wealthy households must not raise wages beyond the level of project recruitment, otherwise the more they plant, the more they will suffer. Naturally, such a thing cannot be told to His Majesty. It can only be done by myself, the chief minister of the cabinet. .
Zhao Wen glanced at Wang Ju without saying a word. The order for a strict investigation meant that Wang Ju, the chief minister of the cabinet, had no solution at all.
At the same time, it also means that there will definitely be a large amount of cultivated land left idle in Da Qin this year.
Wei Zhuang, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped forward, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "It takes several years to train doctors. Although I have been recruiting skilled doctors to open new medical colleges, there are still only a few opened so far!"
As one minister after another came forward to report, Zhao Wen's brows gradually wrinkled.
Da Qin's biggest problem now is still the lack of talents.
Although the population of several worlds has been relocated, in ancient times, everything was of low quality, except for high-level education, and everything was official.
There is always a shortage of technical talent.
Although he has opened academies in various villages, the teachings have nothing to do with technology. Only when the state schools and royal academies will they open professional knowledge education.
The most critical point is that I can teach reading and literacy to the whole people, but I cannot enlighten the people's wisdom.
The Great Qin he built was a world that promoted world level improvement through cultivation, not a technological world.
Today's Great Qin needs a lot of incense telepathy, and after the people's wisdom is fully opened, apart from anything else, the incense telepathy will be almost completely abandoned.
The Demon Refining Tower, the Demon-Slaying Sword, the Demon-Suppressing Bell, the Bagua Mirror, the Three Pure Bells, the Five Thunder Seal, the Five Elements Fan, the Bagua Sword, as well as the Great Qin Palace and the Tiangang Disha Formation all rely on the power of incense and thought to grow in a short period of time.
Got up.
Daqin, which now has a population of almost 400 million and is approaching 500 million, will continue to increase rapidly in the future. If such a huge amount of incense and mind power is wasted, there are many magic weapons that it will not be able to refine in a short period of time.
