The lord's army conquers the world

Chapter 1776 Village Chief
Zhao Fu also changed into ordinary clothes, and planned to go to some remote areas by himself to see for himself the current conditions of the people in Daqin, because what he saw with his own eyes must be more real than what he reported.

The first place I came to was a mountain village, and the county where the mountain village was located had also suffered a flood. Zhao Fu wanted to see for himself what the current situation was like.

Now that this mountain village has been flooded, the silt in the village has been cleaned up, and the silt in the fields is being cleaned up so that they can continue to grow food.

Zhao Fu, a stranger who came to their village, caused them to look sideways. They were a little curious about why this young man came to their small mountain village. Although the young man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had an extraordinary bearing, which was by no means comparable to others.

An old man with some gray hair and a rather tough physique stepped forward and said with a smile, "I don't know why the young master came to our village?"

Zhao Fu smiled and said, "The old man has nothing to do, just looking around casually. He happened to pass by this village, so he took a look."

The village chief smiled cheerfully, "Really? Our village is just a poor mountain village, so what's so interesting about it? I thought you were an official from the imperial court and came down to inspect."

Zhao Fu's expression was a little surprised. He looked at his clothes, which seemed to be nothing special, and said with a trace of curiosity, "Old man, how did you know that I might be a court official?"

The village head said with a smile, "Your aura looks like an unusual person. It is very different from those of us in mountain villages. Besides, the imperial court will sometimes send people to patrol our mountain villages. Basically, there is nothing wrong with you." outsider."

Zhao Fu also understood, smiled and asked, "The imperial court sent people to inspect, how do you feel about this matter, and how do they treat you? Do they care about your opinions?"

The village head said happily, "Of course they are more welcome. This is mainly thanks to our Majesty. It is His Majesty's order, and all counties and counties will do this. Otherwise, a small mountain village like ours may be ignored."

"As for the people who came, the attitude is still good! There is neither arrogance nor contempt for us, and they can report our affairs to the county officials. After a while, the matter will be resolved."

"Oh!"

Zhao Fu answered clearly, and then asked, "After this flood, do you have any opinions and dissatisfaction with the court?"

Hearing this, the village chief's smile faded a little, he glanced around, and said in a low voice, "My lord! The question you asked is very dangerous. It's better not to ask this kind of question, so as not to cause any trouble."

Zhao Fu asked strangely, "Why is that?"

The village chief smiled, but his expression was a little serious, "Because your question is a bit sensitive, you can express your opinion, but if you are dissatisfied, there is a possibility of rebellion."

"In fact, this matter can be big or small. Maybe you say it's nothing, but if you cause turmoil or take the lead in making trouble, you will definitely be beheaded, and even your relatives and friends will be severely punished."

"Besides, our Majesty also specially elects representatives of public opinion, and will send people down to make inspections. If you have any opinions or questions, you can talk to them, but try to talk to others about your dissatisfaction with the court."

"This time the flood was quickly resolved by the court. The court also distributed some food and seeds. What do we have to say now? It's too late to be grateful to the court and His Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhao Fu fell into deep thought. Zhao Fu didn't know that those who expressed dissatisfaction and caused riots would be beheaded, and even relatives and friends would be severely punished.

This order may have been issued by Li Si, or he may have told him, but he didn't care, because this is a small method to stabilize the rule of the Great Qin, and there are many different methods.

Now that Daqin has opened up multiple battlefields and has to face countless enemies, there must be no internal problems in Daqin. Otherwise, Daqin is likely to destroy the country due to internal and external troubles, so it will also adopt some high-pressure measures to achieve the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.

Knowing this now, Zhao Fu has no intention of changing this policy, because it is indeed useful to Daqin.

It's just that for Zhao Fu, he also got to know Daqin again, because Daqin is not as beautiful as imagined, there are no restrictions, and the people can live freely and happily in it.

Of course, there is no such place in the world. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. The world needs rules, and so do countries.

"Young master! You are not a small official in the court, are you?" the village head said with a respectful smile.

Zhao Fu came to his senses and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that? I'm not an official."

The village head said with a smile, "My lord, you don't need to explain, ordinary people don't ask these questions, and judging by your temperament, you are definitely not an ordinary high-ranking official."

Zhao Fu didn't explain much, and smiled.

The village head was overjoyed, and understood that Zhao Fu had acquiesced in his identity. He smiled even brighter, and said, "My lord! It's already noon, why don't you go to my house for lunch."

Zhao Fu said with a smile, "No need! I still have things to go first."

The village chief hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Fu, "Master! You don't have to be polite, even if you are busy, you must have lunch."

Zhao Fu came to the village chief's house with some helplessness.

As soon as the village head arrived home, he yelled, "Old woman! Kill my hen quickly, there is a nobleman at home, and you little cow, get out of here quickly."

The old woman took a look when she heard the words. The village head smiled and understood the importance of the matter. Without saying anything, he grabbed a chicken and walked into the back kitchen.

A little boy with a thick head and a thick head also ran out at this time, and said dissatisfiedly, "Grandpa! Why did you call me?"

The village head said with a smile, "Come here quickly! I have met this lord, but he is a high official in the imperial court. Do you want to be an official in the future? Do you want to work for Daqin? Do you want to see His Majesty?"

Hearing this, the little boy immediately ran over in surprise, and said with a smile, "My lord! Hello."

Zhao Fu understood the village chief's thoughts, and he should be drawn here for the future of his little grandson.

However, Zhao Fu didn't feel disgusted, but could understand a little bit, and nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, the village head dragged Zhao Fu to the table in the living room, and asked with a smile, "I don't know the name of the young master? Where does he rank in the court?"

Zhao Fu replied with a light smile, "My surname is Zhao, and I'm just a small official in Xianyang, nothing special."

The village head was a little surprised and said, "Our Majesty is also surnamed Zhao, and this surname is a blessing! It's a pity that our surname is Zhang."
