Qin Bin and Xiao Bai nodded suddenly, and Qin Bin said, "So that's it. I had thought about this situation a long time ago, but why did you hesitate?"
"Those animals and plants that have developed spiritual intelligence are great supplements for cultivators. Similarly, the flesh and soul of cultivators are also great supplements for those animals and plants that have become spirits. If we accept these animals and plants that have become spirits, there will be many social problems in the future."
Qin Bin shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I can't do anything about it. I can only see whether the country's legislation and popularization of the law are in place and how strong the enforcement is. Or maybe just give up the idea of adding new members to the Chinese nation."
"That's right. I just mentioned it and wanted to try my luck with you." Qin Hua shrugged.
At this time, Xiao Bai suddenly said, "You say, if the 'medicinal' value of animals and plants that have become spirits and practitioners becomes lower, then this problem can be solved, right? After all, in ancient times, the relationship between humans and wild animals and plants on Earth was also one of mutual diet. It was not until humans developed more efficient farming and animal husbandry that they gradually began to get rid of the direct relationship of mutual diet in modern times."
Qin Bin and Qin Hua paused slightly, and then Qin Hua, like Xiaobai, looked at Qin Bin expectantly.
Qin Bin thought about it, and communicated with Meng Yuan in his mind before saying, "In theory, it is possible to create some crops or livestock that can produce high 'medicinal' value in a low spiritual energy environment."
"Will this work? Spiritual energy can basically be said to be fertility. In places with low fertility, no matter how high the nutritional value of the plants and animals produced is, it will be limited, right?" Qin Hua was puzzled.
Qin Bin explained, "The logic is this. The spiritual energy of the earth is currently very low, but the energy is not less. For example, cosmic rays such as high-energy subatomic particles that pass through the atmosphere all the time contain huge amounts of energy. As long as this ubiquitous energy in the universe is converted into spiritual energy through special plants and animals, it is possible to produce crops or livestock with high 'medicinal' value in a low spiritual energy environment. Well, this world is actually not weak. The only weakness is that humans on Earth don't know how to use that energy."
Qin Hua nodded suddenly, "I see, it turns out to be this kind of transformation... Speaking of which, if this thing is done, it seems to be a revolutionary thing..."
Qin Bin said, "Maybe, but no matter what, we have to try it to know. After all, it is a huge project to let plants and animals convert energy themselves, and it involves too many areas. My system is still in the process of simulation and verification. Even if the simulation and verification are completed, we have to go through practical testing to know the final result, which takes time."
Qin Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you have a direction. There are very few animals and plants that have developed intelligence, only a dozen in total. As long as you pay attention to some things, it will be difficult to cause social problems. You can take your time."
"That's good."
"Nephew, how are the preparations for the wedding going?"
"The venue has been prepared, and everything else is just a small matter. We can start sending out invitations in two days."
"I see... the venue is your fiefdom, right?"
"Correct."
"That's good. You can do whatever you want on your own territory..." Qin Hua said, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Bai. After a little hesitation, he asked, "Nephew, is it really okay for you to marry nine people at once?"
Qin Bin touched his cheek with his index finger, looking a little embarrassed. "There are ten now. Well, one was added a few days ago. You have also met her. She is Yan Mond from the House of Mystery."
Qin Hua: “…”
Xiao Bai at the side said with a smile, "Don't worry, Uncle. I'm here to make sure there won't be any chaos in our family."
"Xiaobai is so generous. She deserves to be the first daughter-in-law of Xiaobin's generation to be included in our Qin family tree." Qin Hua immediately restrained his speechless expression, smiled and gave Xiaobai a thumbs up.
"Hehe~" Xiaobai also smiled happily, "Second Uncle, there are many beauties in my dragon clan. Do you want me to help introduce them to you?"
Qin Hua's expression froze, and he laughed dryly and said, "Uh... well, haha, no hurry, no hurry. Anyway, I have already reached the fairyland, and I have a long youth and life. No hurry, no hurry..."
"That's it..."
Seeing Qin Hua like this, Qin Bin and Xiao Bai looked at each other, and then stopped talking about the problem and turned back to the topic of wedding preparations...
Chapter 238: Something about Leah
Mid-September of the Eternal Era 2700.
Qin Bin, who had returned to Qin Ling from his hometown Earth a few days ago, officially began his "special date" with each of Liya and the others under the sour gaze of Liya and the others.
First was Leah. This was not based on the order of first come first served, but the result of them drawing lots themselves.
The date location that Leah chose was also very special; it was located in an unknown mountain in the west of Kana.
Liya took Qin Bin and wandered around a valley where monsters often appeared according to her "memory". After bullying a seventh-level long-horned eagle monster that dominated the valley, she left with Qin Bin, feeling satisfied.
According to Leah, in that future, she secretly abducted the future Qin Bin out, and when he came to this valley to look for magical materials, he was attacked by this seventh-level magical beast.
Although it was not thrilling at that time and was even very calm, her feelings for Qin Bin gradually sublimated in the valley. Then she was completely sure that she was completely in love with Qin Bin, who was weak but cheerful, positive and considerate.
And when leaving the valley, Leah emphasized it very seriously.
"Bin, in that future, there are many more stories between you and me, but those were all disturbed by that unnecessary girl Sofia. This is the only time that you and I are alone for a long time. Well, in the past month, I used the Butterfly Shadow, a magical device that can simulate magic marks and move on its own according to the set distance, to control Sofia. Sofia followed the Butterfly Shadow in the mountains and forests more than 100 kilometers away for a month. When she came to her senses and met us in the county town of a nearby province, I even had a fight with her."
"Haha...Is that so..." Qin Bin didn't know what to say.
Because Qin Bin had also heard a similar version from Sophia.
That was after Sophia graduated. Not wanting Leah to continue following her shamelessly, Sophia transferred the magic mark that Leah had secretly cast on Qin Bin to the migratory bird through secret techniques. Then Leah chased the migratory bird for more than half a month. Finally, through the power of the Garcia family, she located Sophia and Qin Bin, whose tracks had been exposed, in a county town somewhere in Kana. Then Leah ran over angrily and had a fight with Sophia.
In general, the relationship between Leah and Sofia is really magical. It is reasonable to say that they are a model of plastic sisters, because they will really fight for men, and they will even use knives to fight. But once one of them is really in crisis, the other will risk her life to rescue her. Of course, after they are out of danger, there will definitely be some sarcasm and then another fight.
Perhaps, this is an example of "love and hate".
"Bin?"
Qin Bin shook his head, "Where to go next?"
"Next..." Leah's emotionless face gradually turned red. "Next, let's go get a room. Garcia's daughter always faces everything calmly."
He was so direct, and tried to remain emotionless as much as possible, yet there was a slight tremolo in his tone, which was really alluring.
If Qin Bin was still a virgin, he would definitely be distracted by this beautiful girl.
However, after gaining experience, Qin Bin was able to suppress his desires better.
So Qin Bin came forward, took Liya's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I also have a place I want to go."
"where?"
“This is where it all started, at least in my opinion.”
"The beginning...the starting point..." Leah was slightly stunned, then she suddenly understood.
"gone."
"Oh~"
Then, Qin Bin took Leah and floated up and flew northwest.
Not long after, the two arrived at Singh Town, left Singh Town and entered the Lost Plains.
On a hill with lush vegetation, Qin Bin walked there holding Liya's hand.
"At that time, the sight of you and Xiaobai falling from the sky is something I will never forget for the rest of my life."
The land under Qin Bin's feet was the place where he was attacked by wolves a year ago.
Leah beside him blinked. "Although I feel a little sorry, I had already watched for a long time at that time, but I was once again deeply fascinated by Bin's bravery. Especially his determination to take one or two wolves with him even if he died. It was very much like the blood of my children in Garcia. It made my blood boil."
Qin Bin couldn't hear any sense of fascination in that emotionless speech that sounded like a good reading.
However, Qin Bin was already used to Leah's style, so he didn't complain about it, but said.
"This is also the ruthlessness of us old Qin people. I, a younger generation, also have it."
"Old Qin people... Huh, as long as Zulong is alive, the Qin Dynasty will not be destroyed."
Speaking of the old Qin people, Liya couldn't help but sigh.
During this year, she continued to learn about Chinese history whenever she had free time, especially the history related to her husband's clan heritage. Leah was very concerned about it.
However, the learning time is short, so I only have some relatively standardized understanding.
"To be precise, if Zulong hadn't died so early, the Qin Dynasty wouldn't have been destroyed so quickly."
"Eh? Is that so?"
Qin Bin nodded and said, "Yes. The early death of the First Emperor was indeed the reason why the Qin Dynasty fell apart in a short period of time, but it was only one of the reasons. Not to mention the limitations of the times, the remaining successors, the powerful ministers, the excessive military expansion, the overdraft of the people's power, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms (the nobles of the previous dynasty)... and so on. If each of them is not handled properly, it may become a trigger for the collapse of an empire. The Qin Dynasty had all of them, and they were all very acute. If the First Emperor had not died so early, he could have relied on his personal prestige to suppress them in the short term. However, once those problems were not solved step by step in a timely manner, they would eventually erupt one by one or even collectively under some inducement. The result would most likely not be much better than the end of the Qin Dynasty in history."
"I don't quite understand, but it seems to be the case. After all, it is a world where one person's force cannot suppress everything. The rebellion of the lower classes is really a fatal problem..."
"That's it. In a world without supernatural powers, the difference between people is limited to power. Those who lose power are destined to be dust, while those who gain power will rule the world. Power is the people's hearts."
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?"
"Yes. Let's not talk about that for now. Give me a hand."
"Help?"
"This." Qin Bin said, and took out a bunch of camping equipment, including tents, cooking utensils, chairs and tables and so on.
When Leah saw this, her eyes lit up in delight, and she happily began to build the camp with Qin Bin.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and after setting up the camp, they began to prepare ingredients for dinner.
During this time, Leah mysteriously left for a while, and when she came back she was carrying the corpses of two prairie wolves.
Seeing Liya like this, Qin Bin couldn't help but find it funny, and at the same time he was quite happy. After all, Liya's way of expression was clumsy, but it really showed that she cared for Qin Bin to the depths of her bones.
How could Qin Bin not be happy to have such a wife?
Afterwards, Qin Bin and Liya processed the two prairie wolves together and included them as one of the dinner menus.
Although Qin Bin had never processed wolf meat, he had been to the prairie in his hometown and heard the stories of the older generation of herdsmen about how they made wolf meat more delicious when food was scarce.
With a general direction for processing, and Qin Bin's decent roasting skills, this "game" was finally edible.
Yes, it’s just to the point where it’s edible.
There's no way. Qin Bin's cooking skills are average. If Sofia were to cook, it would definitely be a different experience.
Eating, drinking and chatting with Leah, sitting side by side, watching the sunset, and setting off fireworks under the starry sky was quite relaxing.
By the way, the fireworks also attracted several mercenaries who were adventuring deep into the Lost Plains. As a result, with Leah's unhappy expression, she swung out a sword energy, which created a chasm in front of the camp that was thousands of meters long, more than ten meters wide, and dozens of meters deep. Those mercenaries hated their parents for giving them missing legs, and they ran away from this terrible place.
After driving away the disturber, Qin Bin took a long time to comfort Leah before she recovered from her confusion.
The two of them continued to enjoy the starry night that belonged only to them...
Chapter 239: Public and private interests can be balanced
Two days later, after Qin Bin brought Liya, who was now a married woman, back to the Qin Mansion, he had barely even sat down when he was dragged out by Sophia, who had been waiting for him at home for who knows how long.
In this regard, Qin Bin followed his wishes and had to learn about the situation of the territory with everyone in the chat group.
Over the past few days, Yan Mond's people have contacted the governors of dozens of provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the Kana Empire.
The feedback did not show any connection between the two. There were even several governors from poorer provinces who were simply hoping that Qin Bin would take away more security risks.
However, there are fees for transferring household registration, but they are not as much as what Zuo Xu's province requires, and the conditions are not as harsh. The governors of more than one-third of the provinces have clearly stated that household registration transfers can be calculated on a household basis, and as long as Qin Ling accepts a young and strong man, the young man's immediate family members will be considered gifts.
This mode of transfer of nationality is what Qin Bin wants to see the most. However, these provinces are far away from Qin Territory, so the cost of population transfer is not lower than the per capita price offered by Zuo Xu Province.
Even if the population is transported to some more distant provinces, the transportation cost alone would be twice the per capita price offered by Zuo Xu Province.
From this we can also see that Zuo Xu, the provincial governor, really thought carefully before making an offer.
More importantly, Emperor Kana has now issued an edict to recruit corvée population from various provinces, who will mainly be responsible for the logistics of various fronts in the northern border, as well as the increase and expansion of the backup defense lines.
This provided a 'suitable' place for the surplus population within each province to go, which resulted in Qin Bin's population demand no longer being a buyer's market, and his bargaining power was greatly reduced.
Of course, these are all small matters, and if you have sufficient funds, you don’t have to worry too much about them.
So after a brief discussion with Yan Monde, Qin Bin asked Yan Monde to first get 10,000 households from various provinces to transfer their household registration on a family basis, and then transport them back to Qinling to fill the Chenxi City Farm as the starting point of everything, while alleviating the labor shortage at Qinling Farm.
According to the "fine" tradition of the Kana nobles, these people who were converted into subjects were their private property, and basically all they had to do was give them food.
This is the most extreme and primitive means of exploitation.
Qin Bin can adapt to local customs, but leaving aside emotional issues, from the perspective of maximizing long-term interests, the wealth creation efficiency of this "serfdom" is still too low, and the social atmosphere formed is definitely not something Qin Bin can like.
After all, what Qin Bin pursues is not more wealth, but a comfortable living environment for him and his family.
The quality of the social atmosphere and whether it conforms to Qin Bin's perception are the decisive factors.
To use Xiaobai's joke, the noble lord Qin Bin couldn't bear to see his subjects go hungry, have no clothes to wear, and cry in misery, so in order to avoid injustice, and without wanting to directly eliminate the people who created the problem, he tried his best to give his subjects a better life and make the social atmosphere in the territory more harmonious and comfortable.
Although this sounds strange, it directly expresses what Qin Bin needs and wants.
If you don't choose to live in seclusion in the mountains, this living environment cannot be just input without output, so managing the territory carefully and making the territory prosperous, lively, orderly and peaceful is the best option.
The method is not complicated. In Qin Bin's vision, the Qin territory will continuously create jobs so that the people can gain wealth from employment. Then, driven by the desire to pursue a better life, these wealth will gradually flow to various commodity markets within the Qin territory. After the various commodity markets make profits, in order to meet the increasing needs of the people and expand their own profits, they will expand the scale of production, and actively add more jobs and accept more people. The people will then gain wealth from the jobs, and the wealth will flow to the commodity market. Such a virtuous cycle will create a prosperous and stable society.
Of course, maintaining social order and ensuring relatively reasonable distribution of benefits are also indispensable, and this is the job of the Qinling government under Qin Bin.
This is especially true in the area of lawmaking.
In this regard, the lord's power of lynching gave Qin Bin extremely high operability.
But it is nonsense to come up with a perfect set of laws and regulations suitable for Qin Ling all at once.
However, it is not difficult to initially create a basic framework, clarify the core outline, and then continuously fill in and improve laws and regulations based on actual conditions. After all, there are many reference objects from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
