Chapter 222: Serving as a national advisor in Da Qin and devoting the map
Although Hao Shuai had imagined the First Emperor's wealth before, when Hao Shuai walked into the Qin Palace's treasure house for the first time, which was dedicated to collecting rare and rare objects and precious elixirs, he was still blinded.
Compared with the First Emperor's collection, the palace collection in his world of Deer Cauldron is weak.
Perhaps there are more exquisite utensils than the Qin Palace, but because of the age of the elixir, my collection has been thrown out by several blocks.
Hao Shuai's mouth almost watered when he saw the elixirs stored in jade boxes lined up on the shelf. Almost none of these elixirs were older than a thousand years old, and each one was over a thousand years old.
Hao Shuai knew that the reason why there were so many old elixirs was related to the era that Great Qin lived in. At this time, there were dense primitive jungles everywhere. Many elixirs had not been picked for thousands of years, and even if they were picked, they would be picked.
The people below brought tribute to the palace.
After wiping his saliva, Hao Shuai waved his hand and took away all the elixirs that were over a thousand years old, leaving only the centuries-old medicinal materials that he looked down upon.
When he came out of the treasure house happily, thinking that a steady stream of elixirs would be delivered later, Hao Shuai suddenly felt a little guilty for deceiving the First Emperor.
After thinking about it, there is still more than a year before Tianxing comes to the world. I have nothing to do. I will use this time to help the First Emperor develop the Qin Dynasty!
After all, there is a saying circulating in the world of time travel: If you travel to the Qing Dynasty, you will rebel; if you travel to the Qin Dynasty, you will help Qin!
…
the next day
After Hao Shuai finished instructing the First Emperor on his cultivation, he took out a thread-bound book from the space and handed it to the First Emperor.
"Does the Imperial Master plan to teach me a new immortal method?" The First Emperor took the book curiously, and based on his previous experience, he opened the first page and studied it carefully.
"This, this, this..." the First Emperor said in surprise after reading the first few pages.
"This is papermaking!"
Hao Shuai said calmly: "Writing with bamboo slips is too cumbersome and consumes a lot of money. It is not easy to carry or store, and it is very inconvenient. This paper is different. A thin page is not suitable for writing or carrying.
Reading books is extremely convenient. The book about the future and this book I showed you before were written on paper."
"Master, this... this is simply magic. If this paper is really made, it will have a completely different meaning to the Qin Dynasty! Incredible, really incredible!" The First Emperor's face was full of excitement, his face was red, and his words were incoherent.
He could fully imagine that the emergence of paper would bring a huge sensation to society, followed by the wealth it would bring. What would really help Da Qin greatly was the great convenience it would bring to the spread of knowledge.
In this era, knowledge is monopolized by nobles or nobles. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to obtain knowledge. But with this papermaking technology, it is possible to produce knowledge on a large scale at a very small cost and publish it to ordinary people.
, so that ordinary people can learn to read and write.
Why was it that after Qin unified the six kingdoms, the government's decrees were still not fully enforceable in the six kingdoms?
It is because the officials who govern the territories of the Six Kingdoms are still the officials of the Six Kingdoms, large and small.
They disobeyed and obstructed government orders.
The First Emperor also knew this, but could not solve it.
Because he couldn't find so many people who knew how to read and write to govern the place, he had no choice but to continue to use them.
Therefore, the First Emperor immediately understood the usefulness of this papermaking technology to the Qin Dynasty. No wonder he was so excited.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so excited, continue reading." Hao Shuai said calmly.
The First Emperor followed the instructions and continued to scroll down, "Printing? That's it~~"
After reading the explanation about printing, the First Emperor found three seals, stamped several seals in different order, and asked: "Master, this printing technology is so simple and clear, why hasn't it been done before?"
What do you think?"
"This should be the so-called blindness! Keep reading~~" Hao Shuai said.
"Salt making method~~"
"Iron smelting method~~"
"How to make glass~~"
…
As he continued to read, the First Emperor's expression became more and more excited, and he felt that these in the book were the real magic.
When the First Emperor finished reading the last page, he breathed a long sigh of relief, put the extremely precious book into his arms, solemnly saluted Hao Shuai, and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Imperial Master."
"You're thanking me now? I still have something good for your majesty. Please ask your majesty to call some farmers from hundreds of families to come over." Hao Shuai said to him as he gave up the emperor's gift.
The reason why people from farmers are called here is because the farmers among the hundreds of scholars are the school of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty that focused on agricultural production in economic life. In terms of social politics, the farmers’ school advocated the implementation of a farming war policy, rewarded the development of agricultural production, and represented the interests of farmers.
and requirements.
At the same time, they also focus on studying agricultural production issues, discussing and summarizing agricultural science and agricultural production technology.
To put it simply, farmers are professional planting technicians.
After a while, the eunuch led several people in. After seeing the ceremony, Hao Shuai gave a book to the middle-aged man in the lead.
"How to grow sweet potatoes? What are sweet potatoes?" The middle-aged man took the book, which was made of silk, and asked confusedly when he saw the words on the cover.
Facing this problem, Hao Shuai, who was well prepared, took out a bag of cooked sweet potatoes and gave one to each person. While eating, he said: "This sweet potato is one that my master found after he traveled across the ocean and found it in the distant Americas."
If you grow grain, it can be cooked and eaten directly. Like ours, it can also be dried and ground into powder to make food..."
Hao Shuai explained in detail to the people present what sweet potatoes are. The focus was on the characteristics of sweet potatoes that are easy to grow, resistant to storage, and have high yields per mu.
When the First Emperor and others heard that the yield of this kind of thing was as high as more than ten shi per mu, they all showed expressions of disbelief. You must know that for ordinary food crops, a yield of three or four shi per mu is already high.
"Your Majesty, with these things, Great Qin's national power should be able to increase rapidly. Then it will be time for Great Qin's chariot to start." Hao Shuai looked at the First Emperor and said.
"But I have unified the six countries, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and conquered the Baiyue in the south. I have become invincible in the world. I really don't know who to use my troops!" The First Emperor said proudly.
Looking at the complacent First Emperor, Hao Shuai took out a globe and gave the emperor a good geography lesson.
The First Emperor was not too surprised after learning that the earth was round, but he was a little surprised after seeing the countries on the globe and the proportion of his own country on the globe.
Hao Shuai saw ambition and fighting spirit in the eyes of the First Emperor. At this moment, the First Emperor seemed to be reborn.
"Your Majesty, with these technologies and crops that I provide, I hope that under your Majesty's leadership, Da Qin can achieve the goal of 'everything the sun and moon shines on is the territory of Da Qin' as soon as possible."
"National Master, please rest assured! I am determined to achieve this goal as soon as possible."
