(Dance the three armies for the alliance leader, an old friend of the three books, thank you)

"A tool that can make rice do more with less?"

Yan Zhen glanced at Heifu, and then at the rice cakes that he had eaten half of them, and realized something.

However, he didn't ask too many questions, but pondered deeply, and only said after half a sound:

"These tools are ingenious, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the engineer. There is a saying in the "Law of Work" that the name of the work is used to test its sincerity, and if the merit is improper, it must be punished. The affairs of the hundred workers are supervised by the internal history of Xianyang, and the counties and counties are supervised by the county order, and there are county engineers under the county order, who are responsible for managing the hundreds of workers in the county. Every year, the county engineer must hand over the equipment and weapons he has made to the county for evaluation, and if he is rated as inferior, he will be punished, and if he is rated as inferior for three consecutive years, the punishment will be increased. ”

The peasants and workers of the Qin State had set up a set of official positions from top to bottom for management, so it was no wonder that they were able to concentrate all domestic resources on the war. Moreover, the handicraft industry is mainly run by the government, and there are often assessments and evaluations, but there are few individual craftsmen like his sister.

After saying the punishment, Yan Zhen began to say reward: "On the contrary, I, Qin State, have never liked things that do not have practical strange skills, but advocate merit first, if the people of a hundred works have tools to increase the effectiveness of the offering, and can really achieve the said effect, there should also be a reward, or a knight, or a money......"

Heifu understands that the so-called "merit is supreme" is to pay attention to utility, or "function supremacy".

This is indeed very in line with the character of the Qin people, for example, although the iron sword has been tempered and can be sharper and more durable than bronze, but since it cannot be manufactured on a large scale and equipped with the army on a large scale, it is not favored by the Qin army.

The same is true for iron armor, although Yan and Chu have begun to have elite troops wearing iron armor, but the Qin army is still all leather armor, after all, this thing can be fined tens of thousands of pairs every year just by fines.

Besides, if you want iron soldiers and iron armor, after defeating the enemy army, you can't just take it from the corpse of the captive......

In short, low cost, large-scale, and easy to use are the elements favored by the Qin government.

Hefu is happy now, isn't it such a good thing to step on the drum in his own home!

He could understand why the Qin State did not promote the stone mills that had appeared in the northern Qilu area in the same way as they promoted cattle farming. Probably because the cost of stone grinding was not low in this era, it was difficult to do it by every household, that is, the rich and noble families learned to build one, and the spread was extremely slow.

It can be stepped on differently, its structure is simple, just come to a craftsman to take a look, you can imitate, and the material is easy to find, the cost is low.

"That's a big deal."

Heifu was happy, thinking that this time he would go to the county seat for the assessment, and by the way, he would offer a treasure to the county engineer, maybe he would have another title and a reward. In the future, if you can continue to launch similar inventions, it is not a dream to rise to the rank and make a fortune all the way.

However, Yan Zhen poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Yan Zhen's face became serious, and he said to Heifu earnestly:

"The old man still wants to remind you that if it weren't for the people of the hundred jobs who offered this thing, the government might accept the thing first, but punish the person who offered it. Hey, don't talk about being a pavilion chief when the time comes, Heifu, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep this duke title! ”

……

In the afternoon of this day, Heifu said goodbye to Yan Zhen early, ended his last class, and early tomorrow morning, he will go to the county seat to participate in the official assessment on the first day of the lunar month.

Leaving the plaque and walking home, Heifu's mind was still full of what Yan Zhen had warned him.

Yan Zhen extinguished Heifu's dreams, and told Heifu a story he had heard from the judge of the Imperial History Mansion many years ago when he was checking the laws and regulations in the Xianyang Imperial History Mansion......

Once upon a time, Han Zhaohou fell asleep drunk, and the hat officer was afraid that he would be cold, so he covered him with clothes. When Han Zhaohou woke up, he saw the clothes on his body and asked the attendants, "Who is the one who covered the clothes?" The attendant replied, "Captain." Zhao Hou punished both the chief of the coat and the chief of the hat.

Han Zhaohou punished the cloakman because he thought that the cloakman was derelict in his duties; He punished the hat officer because he thought that the hat officer exceeded his authority. It's not that you don't worry about the cold, but you think that the harm of overstepping your authority outweighs the cold. Therefore, the Ming monarch controls his subordinates, and the subordinates can do their own work well, and they cannot exceed their authority to make meritorious contributions, and they should be punished if they exceed their authority......

The stuttering Han Fei also summed up the story as: "Make the chicken at night, make the raccoon dog hold the mouse, all use their energy, and there is nothing to do." ”

This is Legalist thinking, and the same is true for officials, and the same is true for the people's household registration.

After the Qin State changed the law from the Shang Dynasty and divided the nationality of all kinds of people in society, it stipulated that people with nationality should do their own work:

The soldiers farmed and fought, the craftsmen made tools, the merchants sold what they had, and the officials managed the place well.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Qin State government, if a soldier is not good at farming and serving, but ponders ingenuity and makes money all day long, it is like a cat that is not good at catching mice, but runs to learn how to crow a rooster.

Even if you really make a good thing, you must not praise it, if it is for a small utensil, but you have established a bad atmosphere, giving people a bad idea, and competing to follow suit, then it is worth it? Isn't the order of this Qin State chaotic?

Therefore, for such a restless person, the government should first accept what he offered, pat him on the shoulder with a smile and praise him verbally, and then punish the person severely......

The object is not guilty, but the man is guilty.

Because of this, in the past hundred years, even if Zhang Yi, Gan Mao and other Shandong travelers suddenly became dignitaries with one mouth after entering Qin, the people of Qin just watched silently, and did not think about learning to be a traveler and seek wealth and wealth.

Because they are not specially set up for foreign talents, even if the people of Qin are envious, they also know that that road will never belong to them.

They can only farm and serve as soldiers from generation to generation, following the profit of the Shang Dynasty.

I am afraid that the people of later generations will not be able to understand that the boundaries of Qin's origin are not something you can cross casually, what is stopped in front of Heifu is a high mountain, a thunder pool, and a moat......

"So, unless I become an engineer one day, or the chief official in charge of this matter, it is impossible to rise to the knighthood by creating inventions?"

Heifu wanted to cry without tears, it turned out that he had walked for a long time, and there was a dead end in front of him. Fortunately, I didn't rush to the county seat to offer treasures, otherwise I would have fallen into this big pit, and the countless efforts in front of me were in vain.

Although this is the case, Heifu still feels that it is wrong, how can it erase people's enthusiasm for invention and creation because of household registration management?

"This must be a system problem!" He cynically waved his fist at God.

It seems that Hefu has to think about it again.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that on the road ahead, there was a figure running towards this side in a hurry, but it was his younger brother who was startled!

I was surprised to see Heifu, ran more quickly, and fell halfway down the road and rolled in mud.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a mother? Heifu felt uneasy in his heart, and his first reaction was whether his mother was sick again, so he hurriedly went over to help him up and asked.

"Not ......"

Shocked and anxious: "Li Zheng didn't know where to learn that my family has a more convenient stepping on the valley, so he forced his sister-in-law to make one for his family, but my sister-in-law didn't obey, and Li Zheng actually instigated the whole people to surround our house!" ”

"And that sort of thing!" Heifu's face changed suddenly, but then he reacted: "Then how did you come out?" ”

"I was chopping wood outside, and when I got home, I saw that the situation was not good, so I wanted to come to look for you, and the inner prison door let me out of the inner door......"

"I see." Heifu asked again: "What do you want to do when you incite people to surround my house?" ”

Gritted his teeth in shock: "Li Zheng wants his uncle and sister-in-law to hand over the stepping and share it with all the people in the whole country and use it together!" In fact, he wants it himself! Now more than a dozen families are instigated by him, and they are all blocked at the door! Brother Zhong, come back with me and have a look! ”
