The Bai family recently produced a new perfume, which is not only fragrant but also cool. Yingquliang applied some to the temples on both sides, and suddenly felt energetic, dispelling the fatigue caused by poor sleep last night.

He picked up the small pot of red mud in front of him, took a sip of tea, and the fragrant tea liquid roared down, which was very comfortable. Now he was increasingly unable to do without this thing, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"

"It was the Rainbow Tea that Bai Dong had collected privately. The stock was not much. It was the old minister who wanted it from him after taking the name of the king. If the king drinks it well, the old minister will go and ask for some more."

Fan Qiang laughed and said that it was very comfortable to be generous to others, especially the boy Kang's, who would not have any psychological burden.

"Well, I'll give Wei Yang and the others a pot. After quarreling for so long, even I felt dizzy when I heard it. It would be strange if they were not tired. Bo Fan, tell me, the doctor is still in his seventies, so why is he still as spirit as a young man? This is just that I am here. If I am not here, he will still point at Wei Yang's nose and curse? There is also the update of the fungus. Seeing that he is full of anger and full of energy, I can lead the troops to kill the enemy again and fight thousands of miles away..."

After being the Qin lord for a month, Ying Quliang is now getting used to this position more and more, and can even feel that he is growing up. Now he is watching his ministers quarrel fiercely, and no longer feels irritable, but regards it as a kind of fun. He still remembers that when his father left, he once withdrew his left and right and held his hand and said, "If the ministers do not fight, the king will be in danger; if the ministers fight, the country will be in danger. If the ministers fight, the country will be in peace and prosperity. The king's interest is to divide the way of the ministers. You should not make them fight, and you should not make them not fight..."

I remember that I didn't understand very well at that time, and once asked my father, "Minist ministers should serve the king with sincerity, and the country should serve the country with loyalty. How could he fight if the whole court is loyal and kind?" My father smiled and replied, "All courts are treacherous and slanderous, and ignorant kings; all courts are loyal and kind, and ignorant kings are foolish! My son should remember that if the power of the court is one person, no matter whether this person is loyal or treacherous, he should be killed!"

This new law debate has been held for three court meetings. At first, I was extremely angry and the monarch's sword was rewarded to Wei Yang. These old ministers were still entangled and were picking on bones in each egg. This was not to give Wei Yang face, but it was obvious that he did not give him the face of the old Qin king! But as the debate became more and more intense, Wei Yang and the old ministers clearly separated, but he felt that the ministers were becoming more and more respectful. Whenever he reached the key point, he would always sincerely ask the king to sue. Although he was respectful in the past, he could feel that it was mostly due to the father's remaining power, so he borrowed this new law debate. The ruler was truly upright.

So on the second and third day, Ying Quliang was no longer angry, but became more and more calm. This was the first time he felt the joy of being a king - it turned out to be built on the pain of his subjects...

The building of the city gate allowed Wei Yang to pass the problems set by Gongsun Jia, and also made the old ministers break their teeth. Wei Yang's name began to be transmitted from Liyang to Yongdu, to Meidi, and to major counties. Now the Qin people say that Zuo Shuchang was a man who kept his promises and would not deceive us ordinary people. At the same time, Lao Ganlong and Gongsun Jia lined up to Baijiazhuang to eat and drink, and took turns to launch a retaliatory fatigue bombardment against Baidong. Although he knew it would be useless, he felt that doing so would be particularly relieved.

Fortunately, the old ministers were still rational and understood that the emperor was supporting Wei Yang after all, and knew that the old Qin urgently needed reforms, and Wei Yang was indeed a suitable talent; but the change was changed, and some clauses in the new law must be opposed, such as the method of "focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce", which was a way to cut off people's wealth, just like killing parents! It is said that after hearing this news, Gan Sheng hid in the kitchen and sharpened his knife until dawn, and then stabbed the piglet he raised with a knife.

In this stormy new law debate, the debaters were like young couples preparing to start a new life. From fierce quarrels to mutual retreat, they went through a necessary process of running-in. However, they were still far from reaching a consensus. Fortunately, the most worrying method of joint position was improved by Bai Dong's efforts.

Bai Dong has never been as serious as today. While affirming that the reform should be used to use the serious punishment, he also put forward the view that "all the first-hand followers can be punished, but only the person who sits is innocent"; that is, he supports the use of the serious law to punish criminals. In the early stage of the reform, in order to achieve deterrence, he could even severely punish all the first-hand followers, but he severely criticized the law that "one person commits a crime, ten families commits a crime, and ten families commits the same crime"!

The method of joint probation itself is designed to solve the problems of "limited police force" and "backward investigation methods" in ancient times. To put it bluntly, it is a way to mobilize the people's strength to deal with criminals. However, the method of joint probation set by Wei Yang is that the person who is not accused of the person who is not accused of being guilty, and the person who is guilty of the same crime as the person who is guilty! This is unreasonable. Bai Dong even suspected that Meng's mother was moved three times not entirely to consider the growth of her son. Most of the reason why she was in a country where she lives also had a legislator similar to Wei Yang, so she was afraid of being implicated by her neighbors?

This evil law has been abolished or improved in many countries, but Wei Yang insisted on bringing it up with the original flavor. This cannot be blamed for Bai Dong being picky about food. Since Zuo Shuchang wants to implement this method, then set an example. I am more willing to pay privately to build a few houses near your Shuchang Mansion, and then invite some beautiful maids, and then go to Yongdu to buy some slaves who have committed crimes. I will also pay to get rid of their slaves for them, and then let them live in these houses. How about being a neighbor with Zuo Shuchang?

By the way, the money from Zuo Geng is not blowing from the strong wind. After these people live, all daily expenses will depend on them to earn in the future. Therefore, Zuo Shuchang must be careful and must keep an eye on these guys. Otherwise, if they kill and rob, you will be punished by the same crime... Just now, Zuo Shuchang said, "Young master should be punished with the common people." It was good and wonderful.

Wei Yang was stunned when he heard this. My kiss, Bai Zuogeng, wouldn't we bring such a trick? Seeing the civil and military officials in the court applauding, the old Gan Long, who was over 70, even agreed, he didn't know what to say. It was Ying Quliang who smoothed out the situation. Bai Zuogeng said something. He should use heavy rules to practice the law, but he should not be too constable. Why don't you ask Bai Zuogeng to put forward the opinions on improving the "constant constable method"?

Bai Dong proposed that the crime of continuation was reduced by three levels, or corporal punishment, or fines. For example, if the offender should be cut, the neighbors in the "what to sit" will be reduced to thirty. If these neighbors have money, they can also be fined to offset the sentence; in addition, they cannot be punished without rewards. If the neighbors take the initiative to expose the crime and have evidence, the government should also reward them.

In fact, he wanted to propose the defense system and the concept of "presumption of innocence" in modern criminal law. Fortunately, he was still rational and understood that putting forward this kind of jumping modern legal concept in this era would scare people, and he might even be regarded as a freak. He had to take it slowly.

After all, Wei Yang was a famous Legalist scholar, and his acceptance of the "fine punishment" was even greater than that of Gan Long. After being "played by Bai Dong", he was the fastest to accept Bai Dong's new idea. He believed that this move could not only curb crimes, but also have the magical effect of increasing the inflow of treasury. If you have money to make money, you will not be said to be consuming national strength. After all, in the early stages of the reform, Zuo Shuchangfu spent much more money than you earn.

Now the focus of the debate is on "focusing agriculture and suppressing commerce". Although Ying Quliang also loves money, he hopes to establish martial arts; collecting the entire Hexi territory and sending troops to Hangu to dominate the world is his greatest pursuit. Money is good, but when a war is really fought, it is still the people with food in their hands to be calm. Can Lao Qin?

The data Wei Yang gave out was also very convincing. The old Qin households were 1.5 million, and the citizens were only 4 million. Apart from the nobles, scholars, and merchants, the remaining one was only 3 million people, and the elderly, weak, women and children were removed. However, the number of farmers and soldiers was only 1 million. In the early years of Xiangong, there were still one million farmers. Since the opening of the city and traded, there were people who abandoned farmers and became merchants. Most merchants needed to work, and a large number of returning farmers would go to work for merchants, which further reduced the number of farmers.

For example, the Bai Family Workshop, printing workshop, and papermaking workshop that have been repeatedly expanded were only laborers for hundreds of tribes, but now the "craftsmen" they have absorbed are gradually approaching a thousand people. If these people do not do farming, wouldn't they be the country's worms? Now, the merchants of the Qin Dynasty are looking at Bai Zuogeng. If every family comes to learn from his workshop to produce products, wouldn't it cause more and more people to return to farming? Then no one will farm and produce grain. Can my old Qin army learn from the divine beasts to eat gold and pull iron?

"The Chinese people say that Bai Zuo Geng's establishment of the "Invention Patent Law" and "Trademark Law" greatly promoted commercial development and increased taxes from Lao Qin, but they did not know that it was the existence of these two laws that allowed those profit-oriented merchants to gradually evolve in scale and expand their influence, so the harm was even more severe! Yang was recommended by Bai Zuo Geng and felt deeply. Because of this, he also pointed out Bai Zuo Geng's mistake! Nowadays, "suppressing business and optimizing agriculture" is to limit the major commercial clubs led by the Bai family's business club. Lao Qin wants to be prosperous and strong, but not for the merchants, but for the farmers who dripped into the wheat! They are Lao Qin's most precious wealth! It was not possible to be extended before, but Wei Yang did not enter Qin. Now, since Yang is the minister of reform of the old Qin, he should speak for the farmers!"

What a passionate word, and it is impossible to refute it. Even Gan Long and Du Zhi, who opposed Wei Yang the most intensely, had to admit that he had some reason. Shandong countries have a prosperous business because of the population. For example, Wei's households are more than 3 million and the people of tens of millions are more than 500,000, and Qi's households are two million, which makes it a great country in the east. Even the weaker Zhao Han is a country with more than 2 million households, but Lao Qin only has only 1.5 million households. If a large number of citizens serve as merchants and workers, who will farm and what will the old Qin people eat?

After reading the data presented by Wei Yang, even Ying Quliang began to suspect that Bai Dong was really wrong. Is it useful to make more money? In the real wartime, will Shandong countries still sell us food? No matter how good the gold in Chu is, it will not fill its stomach.

Bai Dong smiled, smiled and walked past Wei Yang with anger, gently patted his shoulder, and walked to Ying Quliang with a deep bow: "Your Majesty, please give me three days. In three days, please ask you and all the ministers to come to the Bai family fields..."

***

Gongshuqing has always liked to smile like a child recently, which made the children in the family think that the head of the family was stimulating.

The "Gongshu Secret Book" that he had been searching for for a long time has been returned by Bai Dong, and the Gongshu also received a letter of apology from the Yue Nu Sect; these are not the most important. What is important is that Gongshu Qing can finally prove to the elders of the clan how correct it was to choose the Bai family.

Printing, papermaking, pulleys, leverage... If it weren't for the commemoration that was particularly important, Gongshu no longer took the secrets of the family's past dynasties into consideration in the early days. He felt that Bai Dong was a real secret book, and those wonderful ideas were even far beyond the ancestors of the family and Mo Di, who was known as the world's number one skilled craftsman at that time. Gongshu's need to flourish and develop, should be in this magical young man.

The Bai family needs skilled craftsmen. The Gongshuoists need ingenuity. The more they come into contact with Bai Dong, the more they become indifferent to fame and fortune in their hearts. He has begun to pursue a bigger goal. He has included the Gongshuoists in the court. What is the implication of suppressing the Mo family? Changing this world is the only way for Gongshuoists!

The most correct decision that Gongshuqing made in this life was to tie the fate of Gongshuqing to the Baijiazhuang. During this period, he often secretly visited some famous Xi women in Liyang, and would run to play Professor Bai Dong's "health boxing" with his mothers and ladies in Baijiazhuang early in the morning. According to Li Di, this set of boxing techniques is infinitely mysterious and should be created by a powerful man. Gongshuqing had no intention of studying boxing and martial arts. His mind was on those young men and women of Baijiazhuang age. Gongshuqing actually had many young men and girls. It is always the best alliance method to get married...

The daughter of a cousin Bai Dong is actually not a beautiful woman. She has lived a good life recently and is even a little obsessed. Not long ago, she tied the knot with a son of Gongshuo. She was also in the family. It is said that this was decided by Gongshuo Qing because the girl of the Bai family was in love with her family. Gongshuo's nephew also fell in love with the "welfare" of Baijiazhuang and believed that living in the village was more helpful to "work and study".

It is naturally a good thing to have a prosperous population, and Bai Dong also saw the sincerity of the public losers; this is a family that is extremely crazy about science and technology, for science, they can even ignore the ridicule of the world.

This is really great. He is the best person in the world. But when it comes to hands-on ability, Gongshu can even get him out of eight streets if he pulls out one, so the combination of the Bai family and Gongshu is a perfect match. There is no need to worry that Gongshu Qing will betray him. Because he has enough chips to keep Gongshu in a beautiful vision of the future at all times. To attract a group of scientific madmen, you don’t need carrots. Give them one or two inventions and creations to make them crazy. This is simply a business without foundation.

For example, the idea of ​​a stroller and a cork bottle opened the eyes of Gongshu. The sample was sent by Gongshuqing himself, pushing the stroller. The forty-year-old patriarch smiled foolishly again. He imagined that in the near future, the stroller made by Gongshu would appear in the homes of nobles all over the world. Can you make such a wonderful thing?

There is also the one called "baby bottle", which is really a fantasy idea. You can use cork to imitate a woman's privacy? Fill human milk or goat milk into this thing, and eat it when you want it. You no longer have to worry that being a mother will waste too much milk or not enough milk. Rich people can save money to hire a wet nurse, and poor people can barely buy some sheep milk, dog milk or something to feed the child if they don't have enough milk.

‘One bottle, healthy whole Daqin’, this ad slogan was thought of by Bai Dong. Gongshuqing felt that it was so appropriate, so awesome ~...

Bai Dong stared at Gongshuqing for a long time, and finally decided that this person was crazy. The thing was not about size, but about clever thinking. If he had refined modern steel and cast a great sword now, Gongshuqing might be excited and admired, but not so crazy. The key is that the materials used in the stroller and bottle were very simple, but the design idea broke the bottleneck of the imagination of the pre-Qin people. This is the fundamental reason why Gongshuqing was crazy.

"Bai Zi, these two items seem to be improved. If the Gongshu can be successfully improved, can it be called Gongshu stroller and Gongshu milk bottle?"

"Public milk bottle?"

Bai Dong had just taken a sip of tea, but he was almost choked to death when he heard this. He nodded helplessly and said, "As long as Brother Gongshu wants... But I still have something here, and it will be completed within three days. This is the pattern."

"oh?"

After taking the pattern, Gongshuqing only took a look, and immediately forgot the stroller and the bottle, and looked at Bai Dong steadily: "Is this a plow?"

"I call it the curved plow."

"Quyuan Pear? Judging from the pattern, this thing is much more exquisite than Wei Li. The pear plate in front seems to be able to rotate freely? Wonderful, wonderful! Such ingenious thoughts, I really don't know how Bai Zi came up with it!"

"Haha, I was also inspired by chance, but I can only think about it. If you really want to make it, it is impossible for a loser to do it... By the way, this thing is related to the people's livelihood in the world and is used by a country, so I am not going to apply for a patent to make money. Although I am the inventor, if the loser is interested, it can be named "Kongshu Li". I wonder what Brother Gongshu wants?"

"Bai Zi's words are true!" Gongshu Qing looked at the pattern with love, his eyes getting straighter the more he looked. Suddenly, when he heard Bai Dong say this, his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Don't you have to have such a big reaction?"

Bai Dong shook his head secretly and smiled: "When did I coax Brother Gongshu?"

"Okay, okay! I won't thank you for your kindness, I'll do it now! You can't use this plow for others, I must do it myself!"

The curved plow is a good thing. It originally appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the long plow used in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the long plow was changed to curved plows and short plows, and freely rotating plows were installed on the shaft head. This not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also made it easier to turn and turn, and it was flexible in operation, saving manpower and animal power.

Li Ku, a Wei State, once proposed the strategy of "doing the land to do his best" to strengthen the country. In fact, it was to use fertilizer reasonably and cultivate carefully, and Wei Li made great progress. However, the best Wei Li in the world was made by the Mo family. Gongshu was angry for many years. Now that he saw a new product like Quyuan Li, which is "crossing the times", how can he not be excited? Moreover, Bai Dong was so generous that he actually agreed to let Gongshushu name it!

Gongshuqing put the drawings into his arms, turned his head and ran away, as if he was afraid that Bai Dong would regret it, and even his bottle and stroller were not cared about...
Chapter completed!
