Good Life in Qin Dynasty

The three days before the emperor's car are the rest time, and no outsiders are seen.

After the two of them washed up, they ate Zhao Di's delicacies, and without going out of the palace, Ying Zheng took Li Jiyang to see the collection of the former Zhao royal family!

"Didn't you move back to Xianyang?" Li Jiyang thought he moved all the treasures of the six countries to Xianyang City!

"Where is it? Some things don't dare to be moved and don't want to be moved. After all, some people have dirty hands and feet. If they steal on the way, they will tell you that they have moved away. Who knows?" Ying Zheng shook his head: "You can take what you like. , I know you have some fairy tricks."

When Li Jiyang heard this, he felt a little embarrassed: "You know everything?"

He thought he was hiding it well!

"You!" Ying Zheng touched Li Jiyang's face, and then tugged childishly: "I know you have some unavoidable things, so I never ask. In fact, I am not the only one who knows about your supernatural powers. The chief executive has seen it all!"

"Really?" Li Jiyang was surprised: "I thought I did it very secretly!"

"It's still cryptic!" Ying Zheng almost rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it!"

Li Jiyang was taken aback again: "Is it so obvious?"

Ying Zheng was speechless, he was the one who suppressed this matter, even Gan Jing couldn't ask a question, otherwise he would have been surrounded by people long ago!

"Forget it, let's take a look at these things. There are some interesting things in them. If you like them, you can put them away." Ying Zheng pointed to the treasure house and said, "It doesn't matter if they are all taken away. Few people here know about them, and they all know about them." It's a trusted friend."

It's not cronies, and Ying Zheng can't let them guard the treasure house.

After all, it is a treasure treasured by the royal family of Zhao State.

Li Jiyang ran in like a little mouse that fell into a rice vat again. Ying Zheng didn't follow, but stood at the door basking in the sun. It's already autumn harvest. Many, according to the news from Xianyang, this year is another bumper harvest year.

Several years of bumper harvests have allowed the people to recuperate well, and the border is expanding its territory, but no one has been lost in battle!

Hot weapons do have an advantage.

Newspapers have opened up the wisdom of the people. Many children in elementary schools around the world have gone to junior high schools.

Not to mention universities, where several ministers lead students in person.

As for the imperial examination, he thinks it is not bad, recruiting future officials by category is indeed better than everyone's self-recommendation.

Because post stations are spread all over the country, travel is much more convenient. There are also post offices formed along with the post stations. Letters and logistics from all over the country are all in the hands of the imperial court.

Although some businessmen followed suit, they did not have such a solid foundation and could only move within one county. The business was not good. Many civilians believed in the imperial court and not in the merchants.

And if it's in a county, you can go there directly by yourself in a bus and carriage - who would spend money on entrusting a merchant to do some logistics!

Of course, if you are moving, you will have your own car!

Tea, salt and sugar are all firmly in his hands, and the profits brought to him by these three alone are enough to support the royal family's expenses.

And the clansmen are also very docile, at least for now, on the surface, they are indeed very law-abiding.

He is also very generous to the clan, and the annual supply is never harsh.

Today's commerce is also very developed, because there is no attack and defense between the vassal states, joining the army is unanimously external, Li Jiyang also proposed to support the merchants, Yao Jia, a person trusted by the emperor, took the lead in revitalizing commerce, the status of the merchants is still very low But it's a lot better than in the past.

And because the empress dowagers and empress dowagers of the two palaces gave relief to the people at every turn, there are also many businessmen among the people who do more good deeds while making money, and the folk customs are much better.

Ying Zheng felt that he had no regrets anymore. Sooner or later, the world would pass to Fu Su, and he would concentrate on being with Xiao Yang earlier.

When he was thinking about these things, Li Jiyang made a lot of choices in the warehouse, everything was good!

I simply put it into my own space in one go!

Anyway, everyone outside said it, so it doesn't matter if they take it away!

The confiscation of Xianyang City is because it is his own territory after all, so he doesn't worry about leaving it there, but it's different here, it's quite far away!

After he came out, the two of them floated away, leaving the big empty warehouse, which made the person who took over later want to cry without tears: everything is gone, why is he guarding it!

For three days, Yingzheng took Li Jiyang to experience the atmosphere of the palace in Handan County.

King Zhao's palace is very large, and there are many servants and maids in the palace. However, because there is no master in the palace, their lives are boring. Now the emperor and the emperor finally came here. Even if they just stay for a while, they are happy !

The waiters were very enthusiastic. Ying Zheng found a remote palace on purpose and found it was very clean, so he ordered Manager Jiang: "The people here are all nice, everyone will be rewarded with a big meal and money... Two silver coins!"

Now is the time when old and new coins are changing, and Ying Zheng now spends all his money on new coins.

"No!" Chief Jiang also heaved a sigh of relief. For the past two days, the chief executive of the palace here has come to serve him every day before dawn, and never returned after dark.

He also gave him a lot of gifts, and the people who came with him were warmly received by the people in the palace.

To put it bluntly, I wish I could kneel down and call him Daddy!

Everyone understands what it is for, but it is just to show face in front of the emperor and the king. It is better than guarding this huge palace in vain. Even if you want to do your duty, the emperor and the king I don't know either!

What's more, the emperor's experience in Zhao State was not pleasant, and many people's heads were beheaded many years ago.

I don't want to let the emperor see them in my eyes and keep them with me, but I just want to let the emperor know that they are good, and I am satisfied.

For three days, these people lived in trembling, and they received their rewards on the fourth day. They all finally smiled and became more energetic in their work.

On the fourth day, it was also the time when the two met with the Sheriff of Handan County, the General of Handan County and others.

At this time, the civil and military divisions have been separated. The county guard and the general are the highest local administrators, one in charge of governance and the other in charge of military affairs.

Ying Zheng mainly asked what was the embarrassment. After all, they were all from Qin, because after he unified the world, all the officials were trained by himself. Almost all of them were from Qin. people as high officials.

China has had various customs since ancient times, and the local people are the most united. Yingzheng is afraid that they will be squeezed out, or that the government's order will not work, etc.

Fortunately, the magistrate of Handan County smiled and said: "Of course the ministers and others were in trouble, but they didn't dare to let my Daqin's national policy go. After all, Zhao is now the territory of my Daqin. If they want to If you resist, I can't let them make trouble!"

"The last general raised the weapon in his hand without hesitation!" The general of Handan County also echoed: "It is said that the bones of Zhao people are hard, but the last general doesn't believe it. Can their bones be as hard as steel?"

Li Jiyang felt bad: "Is this how you govern Zhao? Isn't it too violent?"

It's good that the violence can be suppressed for a while, but you are always so violent, who can stand it?

"Your Majesty, you are too worried." The sheriff of Handan County said, "Back then, the King of Zhao was a fool, with ten houses and nine empties, and the people were in dire straits. I, the Great Qin, obeyed the destiny to end the state of Zhao's royal family, but gave it to the people of Zhao. A new start."

Li Jiyang listened carefully to him.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the aftermath work was done well back then, and Zhao was badly harmed by the Zhao royal family first, and he was about to starve to death, and the Qin people came!

Gathered the refugees, settled in a small family, and gave them food, drink and job opportunities, regardless of whether it was building bridges or paving roads, they could still eat and clothe themselves warmly.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang with warmth in his eyes. It wasn't that no one had laughed at Qin Anjun back then, saying that his family fortune was a waste and had to be donated and could not be kept.

Yingzheng was very angry at that time, he knew why Xiaoyang was so generous, it was all for his country and society.

If there was no Li Jiyang's strong support back then, and the aftermath had not included money, food, and things, the obedience of the common people in Zhaodi today would not have been there.

The nobles are all holding grudges!

Yingzheng simply didn't point out that they helped govern the local area, and even adopted Li Jiyang's suggestion to require all officials to take up their posts in other places instead of local officials.

"...It's just that the little local nobles who used to be from Zhao land are now just landlords with two money in their families, and I, Da Qin, encourage land reclamation. These days, tenants are rare!" Said the Handan county magistrate At that time, there was quite a schadenfreude attitude: "In the past, they could threaten the tenants with the fields, and even take away the wandering daughter, the beautiful little daughter-in-law, now... who would dare to do this, I Qin Lv Just punish him!"

Li Jiyang was also happy when he heard it: "Then those who bully men and women are miserable. The tenants must not be willing to farm land for their family!"

"Isn't that right!" The Sheriff of Handan County seemed to have found a bosom friend: "Those people have no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy people to farm the land, but even though my Daqin has cheap slaves, they are not used as livestock, let alone , life is easier, whoever is stupid will sell himself as a slave for no reason!"

Li Jiyang suddenly remembered that this era was actually a feudal era, because human trafficking was legal!

"If you can't buy people, you can only go to work in the fields by yourself. Several nobles cried when they heard that they were tired!" They have been fined a lot of money, and if they don’t cultivate the fields properly and abandon the fields, those fields will be taken back by the imperial court and given to some poor farmers.”

Li Jiyang also laughed: "That's a good thing!"

Ying Zheng asked some more current educational questions: "Is anyone enrolled in the school and the military academy?"

"There are more schools, and there are also military academies. It's just that the ministers and generals feel that the military academies must at least graduate from high school. One reason is that the people here are strong and strong, and it's not easy to change flags too quickly; the other reason is that they want to delay it and let them know. , the quality of my Qin army is definitely not as low as they thought!" It means that no cat or dog can serve as a soldier!

"In this case, wouldn't there be very few conscriptions in Zhaodi?" Ying Zheng was not happy.

"Your majesty, you don't know that since you said that, many people have rushed to sign up for the army!" The general of Handan County said happily: "Because I will have a high degree of education in the future, I don't want to come out of a crash course for adults like them." Those who only know words and can count addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are all in a hurry!"

Li Jiyang opened his mouth wide: "Is there such a thing?"

"My Qin army is doing well!" General Handan County said proudly: "In the morning, there are big meat buns and spinach egg soup, and in the evening there are dry rice with big meat, enough vegetables, one fruit per person per day, one jun beef jerky per person for ten days, To put it bluntly these days, the family of the local rich man is like this! I am afraid that some stingy local rich man's family does not have a good meal than the barracks!"

Both Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang were quite proud!

"What's more, there are clothes, shoes and socks from head to toe throughout the year, including underwear. What else can they not be satisfied with? The one who can’t cry himself!”

"Ah?" Li Jiyang was curious: "Why is he crying? Did you force the conscription?"

"No, the last general asked. The man said that he has grown up for more than 20 years and has never worn new clothes..."

Li Jiyang: "...!!!"

"There are still people who have diarrhea after eating a meal!"

"The food wasn't clean?" Ying Zheng's face darkened. This is the army. They have diarrhea and their legs are weak. Who will go on the battlefield?Can we still win the battle?

"No, those people have never eaten meat...the first time they ate meat, they didn't eat very well..." The general of Handan County said embarrassedly: "Later, the gang leader made a big pot alone Meat porridge, put less meat and more rice, and let them eat normally after a few meals with pickles."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang amusedly.

In fact, the food in the army was improved by Li Jiyang according to the nutritional meals of the later generations of the army. In the past, three or five people used to eat on a flat-bottomed three-legged bronze plate. Everyone eats a big pot of rice - what Li Jiyang means is that people who eat well will of course have strength, and with strength they can train well, and in the future they will not be defeated on the battlefield.

He didn't even think about it, it would be nice to have a full stomach, there are also big meat stuffed buns, there is also a bowl of dry rice with big meat, and there is no limit to the dishes made of vegetables.

Fearing that their nutrition would be unbalanced, Li Jiyang supplied fruits almost all year round. Although they were not expensive, they were still delicious.

Apples, pears, peaches, apricots, bananas, etc. are provided in turn.

I usually carry beef jerky with me, but besides beef jerky, there are also dried fruits and other things for the army to grind their teeth when chatting.

In fact, Ying Zheng thinks it’s unnecessary. The army is full of rough men, so they should drink big bowls and eat meat, so that they can eat enough. Who knows that Li Jiyang disagrees, and he has to be raised like this—— Ying Zheng has no choice but to let him go. I mentioned it in front of several military leaders to let them know about Li Jiyang's goodness, so that every time Li Jiyang did something good, he would not say a word and bury his meat in the rice.
