I Want To Be Qin II

asphalt!

Asphalt can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar pitch, petroleum pitch and natural pitch.

Among them, coal tar pitch is a by-product of coking, and petroleum pitch is the residue after crude oil distillation.

Natural bitumen is stored underground, and some form ore layers or accumulate on the surface of the earth's crust.

Asphalt is mainly used in coatings, plastics, rubber and other industries as well as paving roads.

In the era of Daqin, at least for now, its only function is to serve as an adhesive and pave the road.

Natural asphalt is formed by oil being squeezed by the crust for a long time in nature and gradually changed in contact with air and water.

Most of this asphalt has been naturally evaporated and oxidized, and generally does not contain any toxins.

And most importantly, Ying Gao clearly knew that the largest asphalt vein on the Central Plains was in Shu County.

To the north of Jiaming Pass is the area around Longmen Mountain in Guangyuan in later generations.

With the huge natural asphalt veins and the asphalt concrete that has been researched in the laboratory, Yinggao has enough confidence to participate.

Running the road was originally a huge expense. Although it benefited the country and the people, it was a great trauma to the Great Qin court.

Ying Gao had calculated countless times by himself, and even considered many times the problems that occurred due to the road.

He thinks this is an opportunity, a chance to have a good impact on the original system.

Emphasizing the root and suppressing the end has always been Daqin's insistence since the reform of the Shang monarch. It was understandable in that era, but in this era, it is no longer a help, but a hindrance.

In that era, the clinking of the Great Qin Dynasty was naturally intended to encourage fertility, farming, and war.

However, today's Daqin is about to annex the six countries of Shandong, and it is already the most powerful country in the world, so it needs to change its concept.

And the most important thing is that the crops on the Central Plains are not easy to grow, and it is not easy to harvest, and the harvest is not high.

This means that it will be a big trouble to pay more attention to the end. Merchants will promote circulation together. In the future, Daqin will need too many places for money, which will spawn merchants and collect heavy taxes.

Winning over merchants has become an imminent task for the Great Qin court.

It's just that Ying Zheng and the others have not paid much attention to this matter all the time, as if they have never noticed the disadvantages of focusing on the basics and suppressing the end.

So? At this time? With no other choice, Ying Gao directly pointed it out.

After a while, Ying Zheng turned to Zheng Guo and the others and said, "About this matter? Dear friends, after you go down, discuss one or two? Tomorrow, the Suuai History Office will give Gu a plan!"

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Zheng Guo and the others stood up and were about to leave. At this moment, Ying Gao wanted to keep up with him? He heard Ying Zheng's voice slowly coming.

"Young Master Gao stay!"

"promise."

Footstep pause? Ying Gao watched Meng Tian and the others leave. For a moment, only Ying Zheng and Ying Gao father and son were left in the study.

After taking a sip of tea, Ying Zheng put down the teacup, shook his head at Ying Gao, and said, "Do you know that it is our national policy to focus on the root and suppress the end, and now the East is coming soon? Is everything about stability?"

Returning to sit down again, Ying Gao raised his head and looked directly at Ying Zheng? He cupped his hands and said, "Don't Father feel that this national policy is becoming less and less suitable for Daqin?"

Father and son? Each has its own position.

The rhetorical question this time? Doomed not to ask anything.

The atmosphere in the study room became more dignified. The father and son did not speak, but just looked at each other.

"Da Qin Dong is coming out soon, I don't want any accidents, do you understand?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Gao, paused every word, and said, "The policy of emphasizing the root and suppressing the end is the policy of the Shang Jun. It has been practiced in Daqin for a hundred years without incident, so how can it be messed up?"

"Father, Great Qin is no longer the Qin State that is located in the northwest, but is about to go east, annex the six countries, and complete the unification of the Central Plains."

"unprecedented!"

Ying Gao said solemnly, bowing his hands towards Ying Zheng, and said, "Under the current situation, it is no longer appropriate to focus on the basics and suppress the end."

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, the four major classes, the class of scholars, there are school disciples, although they have influence on Daqin, they are not big."

"After Daqin annexed the six countries, if it wants long-term peace and stability, it must improve the status of merchants and attract merchants from all over the world to stand on Daqin's side."

"Nursing the country with commercial taxes, reducing and exempting agricultural taxes, so as to be kind to the world, and attract farmers to stand on the side of Daqin. In this way, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen all want Daqin."

"Father, if there is a way, if you are poor, you will change and you will be successful. If you don't stimulate merchants, and there is no stimulation from commercial taxes, even if you build checkpoints on the road, and the establishment of the Road Administration Department, it will only make ends meet."

"Every year's maintenance and the maintenance of the Highway Department's office need to be allocated funds from the imperial court. In this way, the Daqin imperial court will definitely make things worse."

"Accompanied by the war, the state treasury of the Great Qin State will never be as full as it is now!"

...

Ying Zheng's eyes were bright, he deduced Ying Gao's words in his heart, and he clearly realized that this matter was feasible.

It's just subverting the century-old tradition. Even Qin Wangzheng felt a little uneasy for a while. After all, Daqin has no problem maintaining the basics and restraining the end.

And once the reforms are carried out, if one of them is not handled well, Daqin will have problems immediately in all likelihood.

The most important thing is that since ancient times, all reformers have died without a burial place, which makes Ying Zheng somewhat hesitant in his heart.

"The revitalization of merchants, even if it is really going to be implemented, you still need to take the lead. This matter is not urgent, and I will be thinking about it for a while."

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Gao: "After all, you still have to conquer the Great Yue Clan and go south to the extreme south. There is no time in a short time."

"The matter of Chidao must be properly handled before going south to the extreme south. My son will complete the conquest of the northwest in the shortest possible time."

Ying Gao is doing his best to complete the things that are beneficial to Daqin. In his opinion, everything he has is attached to Daqin.

As a direct descendant of the royal family surnamed Ying, it is Ying Gao's innate honor to make Daqin more prosperous.

It is also a responsibility!

"Father, Daqin cannot keep the old system, and must learn to change. As a country that is about to annex the six countries, learning to change is the most important thing."

"Among the six countries, apart from race, other aspects are fundamentally different. To integrate the land of the Central Plains, the Great Qin court must learn to change."

"There is something in my son's heart that I can't utter, and it can be regarded as a sentence I sent to my father: the changes of the sky are not to be feared, the ancestors are not to be lawful, and human words are not to be sympathetic!"

"Just like what Shang Jun said back then: As long as the king can make the country strong, he doesn't have to follow the old established law; as long as he can benefit the people, he doesn't have to follow the old ritual system."

"A strong country is the foundation, and the laws and rituals are outdated!"
