my grandfather was qin shi huang

Looking down at the young man named Chen Sheng, Zhao Ying nodded lightly.

"In this case, you can follow me from now on——"

Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood behind Zhao Ying happily, with his chest raised and his head raised, his expression was flying as he looked around, and he was quite proud.

Many of the children around him had envious looks in their eyes.

Zhao Ying became more and more confident.

"I have been officially appointed as the champion general by His Majesty. If anyone else is willing to follow me, you can come here to sign up with Chen Sheng before sunset today..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying paused for a moment.

"This time, I only want young people aged fourteen or older..."

As for the treatment conditions and other things he originally planned to talk about, he didn't mention a word.

The change in his mentality made him very calm now. He came here not to ask others to follow him, but to give them a chance.

This can also be regarded as your first step of screening.

"If you are literate, can read and write, or have other particularly excellent conditions, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying turned around and ordered Chen Sheng.

"You stay here to find someone. I will call someone over to assist you later..."

"promise!"

Chen Sheng suddenly clasped his fists and looked excited.

No, doesn’t this mean he’s in charge?

Zhao Ying found Xiong Hejing, who was accompanying him this time, and asked them to bring several officials accompanying the First Emperor to help him register information.

Soon, several tables were placed in a row in the martial arts arena, and several dignified-looking officials in black official uniforms sat there upright.

At this time, many old people in the village who were still doubtful were convinced that the young man just now was really Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and that the eldest grandson of the emperor really wanted to recruit troops in his village!

Many people were moved.

After all, in the Qin Dynasty, unless you were physically disabled, all adult men were exempted from military service. He is also a soldier, why not follow the emperor's grandson?

As a result, many people began to think about it and began to gather at the martial arts field.

……

Inside the living room.

The heads of the three tribes and various old people in charge who were chatting with the First Emperor couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing the news.

They didn't expect that the emperor's eldest grandson, who had been causing a lot of noise recently, would bypass them and secretly recruit troops in the village.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this young master's move is not appropriate..."

The old patriarch of the Meng family, with a dark and thin face and wrinkles on his forehead like cracked old tree bark, sighed, stood up tremblingly, and bowed his hands to the First Emperor.

If it were an ordinary family, it would be a good thing for their children to follow the emperor's eldest grandson. At least it would be more promising than being an ordinary soldier in the county, but I am not.

My family belongs to the dignified Mengxibai clan!

Although he is now in decline, it is still a symbol. If he just sits back and watches the children of the clan join the emperor's eldest grandson, it is tantamount to taking sides in the battle between the country and the country!

"I am getting old, and all I know in my heart is Your Majesty..."

Xiqihong also stood up with a wry smile and bowed respectfully to the First Emperor. Only Bai Fen, the patriarch of the Bai family, looked at the Emperor Sitting there with an indifferent expression, looking a little hesitant.

The First Emperor calmly glanced at the nervous-looking elders of the Mengxibai clan and several clan elders, suddenly smiled, and waved his hand lightly.

"Of course I know your loyalty very well. I'm just a kid looking for a few playmates. Why should you be so nervous? Sit here and talk to me for a while..."

As soon as the First Emperor said this, several elders from the clan who had secretly moved to the door had to step back awkwardly.

It was obvious that the First Emperor wanted to stand up for the young master.

For the now-declined Mengxibai tribe, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse. However, if they had a choice, they really didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

The Mengxibai tribe really can no longer withstand any big storms.

At this time, Zhao Ying didn't know the quiet but undercurrent story behind it. He left Xiong behind to assist Chen Sheng, while he walked around in shock to investigate.

After traveling to this era, he really hadn't taken a close look at the rural families of this era.

I saw that many homes did not have gates or courtyard walls, and the few that did have them were just sparse fences or a low, crumbling earth wall. However, without exception, there are several mulberry trees planted in front of the yard, which is very different from the farmhouses of later generations.

At the back of the yard, most of them were family toilets. What shocked him was that in many houses, there were pigsties underneath the toilets!

He even saw with his own eyes a pig that was so thin that its hair was bulging, munching on some yellow and white things, which made his heart churn and he almost couldn't spit it out.

At this moment, he deeply understood why the ancients, especially the wealthy people in ancient times, hated eating pork so much and said that pork was a dirty thing.

Where is the question of whether it is fishy or not?

This is such a pig feeding method that ordinary people may not be able to eat it.

Of course, poor people who are so poor that they have no access to oil and water all year round have no choice.

"Young man, I'm thirsty when I pass by and want to ask for a glass of water. You're welcome, come in and sit down..."

Probably because he had seen Zhao Ying standing in front of his courtyard gate for a long time. Under the eaves of the main hall, an old man was working hard to weave a straw mat. He mistakenly thought that he wanted to ask for water, but he was a little afraid of being afraid of asking for water. He stopped what he was doing and smiled at him honestly.

He immediately turned around and called to his wife in the house to get some water.

"Then I'll bother my husband..."

Zhao Ying gave a surprised look and walked in with a startled look.

At this time, an old woman in shabby brown clothes walked out from behind the door with a kind face and a ladle of cold water. The water ladle had obviously been used for some years. It was half broken and then sewn back together with needle and thread.

"Thank you old man..."

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Ying casually turned to a small square stool on the ground and started chatting with the old man.

The old man was very enthusiastic and not wary. Zhao Ying soon learned that the old man had three sons, one died in Chudi, one died in Qidi, and a younger son who went into the mountains to hunt some time ago. I broke my leg and now I am going to the next village to ask for medicine...

When talking about these tragic past, the old man's face was very calm, as if he was telling other people's stories.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

When later generations read history, I only felt irritated and admired the First Emperor's foresight. How had I ever paid attention to the trauma caused by the war to these ordinary people?

When he thought about another war that might come soon, Zhao Ying's eyes couldn't help but become a little heavy.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard the humming of a piglet coming from the pig pen behind him. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"Old man, I heard that you seem to have a few piglets in your backyard. I wonder if you are willing to part with them. I am willing to keep them at a high price..."

When she heard about the high price for piglets, the old woman was obviously moved. She wanted to agree, but the old man glared back at her.

"Young Master, you may not know that this pork is fishy and smelly. A nobleman like you is not used to eating it. It is useless for you to buy this. Although our Xiqi family is in decline, we cannot deceive others. …”

When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Thank you, husband, for reminding me. I don't have to do all this. It's just that I once got a recipe from an ancient book. It said that as long as the piglet is castrated, the pig will become docile and honest, and it will grow fast and well. There is no fishy smell, I don’t know whether it is genuine or not. I happened to see you have some piglets here, so I wanted to buy them to try..."

The old man looked at him suspiciously.

"Is what you said true?"

Zhao Ying nodded seriously.

After some talk, Zhao Ying successfully bought eight piglets from the old Xiqi man's home. Based on his childhood memories, he tried to sterilize these piglets one by one, and then forced them to The old man gave half a pound of money as payment for helping to look after and feed the piglets, and then left in shock.

Until Zhao Ying disappeared from sight with a startled back, the old woman holding a heavy Qin Banliang still couldn't believe her eyes.

"Old man, tell me, isn't that young man just a little stupid? Tell me, isn't he giving us money for free..."

The old man sighed.

"Silly woman, it turns out that you have also noticed that they are just looking for excuses to give us money - the young master is kind, he is a real nobleman..."

……

"Young Master is kind!"

Not far out of the small courtyard, Jing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

"Don't think too much, just do an experiment..."

Zhao Ying waved his hand casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was surprised and bowed seriously.

"No, I understand this humble position!"

Zhao Ying: ...

Forget it, let Ai think whatever he wants, he doesn't bother to explain, because even if he does, he can't explain clearly. Just look at the surprised look on his face.

I don’t know how much drama I have added to my mind!

PS: I found a Chinese medicine doctor to adjust it today, and it should be updated normally tomorrow. Thank you for your continued support even when my updates are not good enough! Thanks, I advanced to the fourth round of PK.
