Daqin: Zulong Overheard My Rebellion Plan

Chapter 254 Force Me To Grow Sweet Potatoes? I Really Want To Turn Against Daqin!

There was a crazy anti-corruption storm in the middle and upper classes of the whole Daqin.

But this has no way of affecting the head of Common in Daqin.

After five months of gestation on the ground, the sweet potatoes planted in April finally ushered in the harvest time.

Outside Hanzhong County and Cunyang County.

On the incense table of the Cunyang altar are four bronze tripods, which contain a sheep's head, a pig's head, a bucket of corn and a catty of salt.

The county magistrate Liu De stood behind the altar, facing the four directions of east, west, north, south, bowed his hands and shouted loudly.

"Liu De, magistrate of Cunyang County, and the head of Qianyang County of Cunyang to inform the Emperor of Heaven that the autumn harvest in Cunyang County is about to come..."

If it wasn't for Liu De wearing an official uniform, those who didn't know would have thought it was dancing to a great god!

Liu De himself felt a little awkward.

But there is no way, this is the task assigned by the court.

People always need a sustenance in their hearts.

Therefore, when Yingzheng ruled the world, it was stipulated that before each harvest, the county magistrates and townships organized sacrifices in an orderly manner.

Except for the sacrifices organized by the imperial court, no one is allowed to organize sacrifices, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!

Although Liu De was very awkward, he could only complete all the steps of the sacrificial ceremony in an orderly manner.

"Look at the Heavenly Emperors in all directions, and protect me in Cunyang County, harvest~ah!"

Putting down his hands, Liu De shouted in a deep voice.

"The sacrifice is over, and the harvest begins!"

Below the altar, a group of Cunyang Qianshou weakly cupped their hands: "Obey!"

Liu De said angrily, "Didn't you have enough to eat?"

"Sifang Tiandi is watching you and so on, cheer up!"

The leaders of Guizhou had no choice but to shout at the top of their voices: "Follow orders!"

Only then did Liu De nod his head in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice, "I know that you are very dissatisfied with the planting of sweet potatoes this year."

"I am even more resistant to this new crop of sweet potatoes."

"But it's all orders from the imperial court!"

"I don't care what thoughts you have in mind, if anyone dares to delay the harvest, I will deal with it according to Qin law!"

Threatened by the "Law of Qin", the leaders of Guizhou finally took precautions and handed over again: "I'll wait, Zun囧!"

Liu De slightly nodded: "Go."

The rich and powerful gathered around the altar, like believers scrambling to buy incense sticks on the first day of the new year, flocking to buy sacrificial supplies to bring a good omen (ahfb) to the family.

A group of farmers picked up their farm tools and headed towards their fields.

"Under these grass seeds, is there really something edible?"

Looking at the large piece of withered and yellow sweet potato stalks in the field, Litu Jia sighed helplessly.

"You can't eat this thing just looking at it."

"Cough~cough cough~"

Beside Shentujia, Shentuzhe, who was already looking old, coughed twice, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Whether you can eat it or not, you have to pay close attention to the harvest."

"This is the first policy implemented by the new governing official after he came to power, and he will definitely pay close attention to its effectiveness.

"Did you see those law officials walking around behind?"

"If they find out that our harvest is imprecise, I'm afraid they will be taken away immediately.

Shen Tujia said angrily: "This Qin State is too tyrannical!"

"Everything is governed by the law."

"Using the law to force us to plant sweet potatoes on time and water them on time, otherwise we will be dragged to question

"Uncle Wang next door was dragged to jail because the sweet potato was eaten by moths and became a little wilted because of poor care.

"It's better to be Dayan!"

"Although the officials of Dayan are also stupid, the tax is even higher than that of Qin."

"But at least Dayan won't force us to do things we don't want to do."

"I really want to turn against Da Qin!"

Shentuzhe quickly covered Shentujia's mouth, and shouted in a low voice.

"You don't want to die?"

"Dare to say anything!"

"Although the "Qin Law" does not prohibit criticizing the imperial court, if those legal officials hear what you say, they will definitely keep a close eye on our family, and if there is any violation of the law, they will be arrested and sent to jail!"

"Do you want to kill our whole family!"

Shentujia broke out in cold sweat instantly.

Although he was not angry, Shen Tujia still nodded vigorously.

Only then did Shen Tuzhe let go of his hand, and sighed softly as he looked at the slightly withered and low fields.

"Now we can only hope that these things are actually edible."

"If you can't eat it, our father and I can only go hunting in the mountains in winter."

When it comes to Shentu and Jiaye, both of them fell silent.

After a while, seeing that the judge seemed to have noticed him, Shen Tuzhe hurried to the field.

"Hurry up, the law official is here, hurry up and harvest the fields!"

"coming!"

Shen Tuzhe's children responded and hurried to follow.

Following the method demonstrated by those law officials, Shentu Jia stabbed the pike into the ground about two inches in front of the sweet potato stalk, and then gently pushed back.

Immediately, more than ten huge sweet potatoes were dug out of the soil.

"That stem is big enough."

Kneeling down, he broke off a piece of sweet potato and weighed it in his hand, Shen Tujia was surprised.

"This sweet potato must weigh several catties."

Shentu Jia said happily in bitterness: "If this sweet potato is really edible, the root of this sweet potato stalk is enough for our whole family to eat twice!"

Shen Tuzhe, old and frail, squatted behind Shentu Jia, pulled the sweet potato off the vine with both hands, pulled off all the beard, and threw it into the bamboo basket, smiling.

"Then let's take this sweet potato as if it's really edible."

In this way, you can also be a little motivated when you collect. "

Shen Tujia grinned happily: "Ah Weng is right!"

Imagining that these sweet potatoes are really edible, the speed of harvesting by the members of Shentu's family has been accelerated a lot.

The sky was getting dark, but the leaders of Guizhou had no intention of going home.

When the crops are harvested, a heavy rain or a frost will have a great impact on them.

Therefore, Qianshou has long been used to turning into a night owl at harvest time and working in the fields all night.

Besides, even if they want to leave, Fa Geng won't let them use it!

Near the fields, a bonfire was lit by the law officials.

A law official groaned dissatisfied when he saw those Guishou who were directly lying in the fields without doing work under the cover of night.

"These Yan people are really too lazy."

"It's obviously a good thing for them, but they still don't care about it."

"They deserve to be hungry!"

Judge Su Jiao shook his head with a smile: "After all, they don't know that sweet potatoes can be eaten.

"When they know that sweet potatoes can be eaten, they will definitely be more active than anyone else."

"And this is also the purpose of us staying up late with them."

After sniffing the smell in the air, Su Jiao nodded in satisfaction.

"The heat is almost here."

"Come on, let's give them a reason to work hard!"
