I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]

176. Civil husband 'defects'

It’s not because the envoys from various countries didn’t know about the wind galloping bird, but it’s just passed down in Qin State. Although everyone knew the news, they didn’t know about it before they used the wind galloping bird proficiently. What is it? The state of Qin buys it with a mentality of trusting the government. It will only become popular when the common people use it and experience the information convenience brought by Fengchiniao.

Therefore, the common people themselves didn't know what the Fengchi bird was, and they couldn't talk about it. When the envoys saw it, they only thought that raising birds suddenly became popular in Qin State, and didn't pay much attention to it.

As for why the civilians of various countries paid attention to and recognized it in advance, it is also due to the fact that the civilians dealt with soldiers from the Qin State. The army was the first to use the Fengchi bird, so they naturally gave priority to knowing the benefits of this thing, and Tang Yu also deliberately let it They know, otherwise, how could a group of illiterate civilians have the idea of ​​buying and selling in such a neat way?

Song Dashan was one of the people who got "reminders" from Qin Jun's friends.

Song Dashan is different from Da Gouzi, who is not favored by the family. Song Dashan is valued by his parents at home, but his family is too poor and the population is large. For a civilian husband, it's just for the ten taels of settling expenses.

After going to Qin State, he was very grateful for his decision. He originally thought that he would never return like those civilian husbands recruited by the state, but he never thought that the life of Qin State was full of hope.

In the past three years, he not only wanted to stay in Qin State countless times, but also wanted to get all his family members to take root in Qin State.

He knows that his idea of ​​"defecting" is wrong, but nothing is more important than life and belly. The king of the Lu State where he lives does not do anything at all. The people have been oppressed and fought year after year. It's hard to live, and thanks to the fact that sweet potatoes are planted now, people will not starve to death, but the poor are getting poorer and poorer.

Every time the family sent a letter, although they said that the family was fine, how could Song Dashan not guess the situation at home?The family letters received by other folk husbands always tell the truth. Their family has such a large population and they are already poor, so how could they live well.

So when he heard that they were going to be sent back to the country, although Song Dashan felt sorry, he quickly tried to find a way to ask the soldiers of the Qin army who he knew well, how could they stay, and even make them Qin people.

The King of Lu can't let them live a good life, why should the people of Lu Kingdom support the King of Lu?

Song Dashan is not talkative, but he is calm. He usually has a good relationship with the soldier captain who guards and manages them. After several requests, the supervising general Qin gave him directions.

"In fact, our king is very willing to let you stay and work. We ask that there are still many houses and roads that have not been completed, but the kings of various countries are not at ease. Now that the relationship between countries is tense, leaving you openly is the result of the war. , our queen doesn't like fighting. So if you really want to settle in our Qin country, you have to find another way."

"I would also like to ask Brother Qin for advice. We just want to live a stable life. I heard that the situation of our Lu State is not very good after three years of war. I am worried that Lu State will become the second Zhao State..."

"That's not true. Although our state of Qin didn't participate in the war, we have been continuously increasing our military strength and defense over the past few years. The situation of your state of Lu is indeed... oh, that's all, brother Song, if you really want to come to our state of Qin to seek life, then brother I might as well tell you, but you can't take this news back and talk nonsense, otherwise it will cause a war if there is a big commotion."

"Brother Qin, don't worry, I know how to measure!" He was the one planning to 'defect', so he shouted everywhere because he was stupid.

"It's like this. Our king doesn't want to fight with other countries, but he is also worried that countries can eat each other and grow stronger and attack us. So the king has already talked with the grassland tribes. When the time comes, we will lend them a piece of land in the northwest. Life, if the Qin State is in trouble, the grassland tribes have to help us fight."

"This northwest land is also the place where Mr. Zhao Guomin was arranged to open up wasteland and settle down. If Brother Song is willing, he can take this opportunity to take his family there and find a remote village to buy more fields to settle down. Although it is remote and poor, But it is absolutely safe in Qin State..."

Song Dashan in the northwest knows that it is indeed remote and poor, but Qin is the safest country in terms of the current situation in all countries, and with Qin's ultimate purpose of valuing the people, once the number of people living in the northwest increases, I will definitely find a way to develop, and I won't be too sad no matter how poor I am.

This time Qin was able to stand alone in the struggles among the countries, which shows the potential for development. In addition, the king and queen of Qin love the people like children. If they want to settle down in this troubled world, it is the best choice to seek refuge with Qin as soon as possible, even if Qin is not stable in the end. It's worth it if you can live a good life for several years even if your life is gone.

Thinking about it this way, Song Dashan decisively chose to 'defect', borrowed some money from a few soldiers who had a good relationship, and used all his savings to buy Fengchiniao, intending to take it back to earn a fortune as moving expenses.

By the way, the big dog was also called.Not only are they from the same village, but they also have a good relationship. Da Gouzi has been ruthlessly abandoned by his family and is considered homeless. Although he dare not tell each other the inside story, Song Dashan has taken care of them and they are drawn together.

Da Gouzi didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he has no place to go after returning to his hometown. He doesn't want to go back to the home that abandoned him. Song Dashan has more ideas than him. Anyway, it's right to go with Song Ge, and he has nothing to do with the family. reluctant.

So they followed suit, the two of them returned to Lu country in no hurry to return to their hometown, but first sold the Fengchi bird for silver, and then went back with simple luggage to prepare for moving.

Because the matter is very important, if people know that he intends to 'defect', he will definitely suffer. Song Dashan did not dare to reveal half of it to his family, for fear of people talking too much, he only said that he had saved a lot of money when he was a civilian husband in Qin, Now I want to bring my family to live in a big city.

The Song family has not taken root in the village for two generations. Although the three friends and four friends are a bit reluctant, everyone wants to live a good life. Song Dashan is the eldest son who is favored by the family and has a high voice. Parents also failed to object.

As for the other brothers and sisters of the Song family who are not very old, it was finally confirmed that the move was going well. The family packed up their things lively and prepared to live in a big town. very.

Enthusiastic towards the neighbors in the village, Song Dashan looked a little uncomfortable, the situation outside the people was blocked and the news was unclear, and he didn't know that the country he lived in was already in turmoil, and he might be implicated by the flames of war at any time.

In the end, he was a village neighbor who had been with him for many years. In the end, Song Dashan couldn't help but find Lizheng and make a point,

"The state of Qin encourages business now. It is very profitable to do business there. There are a lot of strong men in the village. You can form a small caravan and run around there. One trip can support us to plant fields for several years..."

Making money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that as long as the villagers go out, they can know the severe situation outside and find ways to find a way out. They are all from the same village, and that's all he can do to help.

The same thing happened in many places in various countries. Many civilian husbands who received "reminders" chose to move and "defect" after returning to China. In sharp contrast to the good life of the people in Qin, these people who lived at the bottom were oppressed. The people of all countries chose the former without hesitation.

In fact, it's not that they don't have patriotism, but that their ancestors have been civilians for generations, and their ancestors have been oppressed for generations, living a hard and numb life, and they really don't have much sense of belonging to their rotten country.

Deep patriotism is based on the hope that the upper class of the country brings to the people. Who loves a country without hope?

However, not all the people who returned from every country received 'teaching'. After all, although the people in some countries are not so rich, they are still good. Because their country is very powerful.

So at the beginning, Tang Yu, the peasant husband of Jiang State, did not mess up and live with the peasant husbands of other countries, but centralized management as a whole, and the place where the development of Qin State was relatively slow, to prevent these people from revealing too much after returning to China.

But this group of people, Tang Yu, was not prepared to waste it in vain. When he returned, he not only gave Jiang Guofu the same 10 taels of reward money, but also prepared a lot of 'special gifts' for these people.

The reason why it is special is that the gifts are not food or clothing, but learning-related utensils, a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a collection of poems.

Although Mrs. Jiang Guomin didn't know why Qin State gave these gifts, everyone was very happy to hold the pens, inks, papers and inkstones. People like things for reading, and they can be used by children when they take them home; Books, and books made of expensive paper, don't want them for nothing.

The Jiang Guo envoy who went to pick up the husband looked through the collection of poems, and found that the collection of poems in it were all poems praising mountains and rivers.

Seeing that the author of the collection of poems was named Tang Yu, and remembering how King Qin loved this male queen, the corners of the envoy's mouth twitched like a tyrant and lost his nerve again.

Of course, it’s not that the envoys didn’t think about directly confiscating the collection of poems in the hands of the people, but they can’t do it without a legitimate reason. Although the people are very small, but they are so blatant that they don’t treat the people as human beings and completely obliterate the basic human rights of the people. Resentment rebellion. Rebellion.

So the unremarkable collection of poems was brought back to the country by Mrs. Jiang Guomin so smoothly.

And no one expected that the origin of the destruction of the huge Jiang country was actually in this small collection of poems!

*******

177. Confucian Scholars Departure

Because Tang Yu and Yin Yu were on guard against Jiang Guofu, Jiang Guofu didn't know many things that other countries knew.

For example, Mr. Jiang Guomin didn't know anything about the Feng Chi Niao, so he naturally wouldn't think of reselling it to make money. They only bought a lot of Qin specialties, and then returned home with the rest of the money.

Although Jiang Guofu didn't have the idea of ​​defecting so easily, but after staying in Qin State for three years, everyone still had a good impression of Qin State.Because while the Qin State is strong, it is rare to love the people. Qin State's actions to rectify corrupt officials are praised by all citizens.

Therefore, even a peasant husband who is as proud as Jiang Guo, it is rare to make a pertinent comment on life in Qin State after returning to his hometown, and he has no choice but to slander him.

And the villagers saw that these people who had gone to be civilian husbands not only came back alive, but also not tired and thin, but strong and healthy, with ruddy complexions, so they were naturally curious about their lives in Qin.

You must know that in the eyes of people in this era, the peasants represent coolies.Not to mention going to other countries to become civilian husbands, it is their own country. Every time they recruit civilian husbands, only half of them can come back alive, and many people are exhausted outside.

Those who were sent to Qin State at the beginning, the family basically didn't give much hope for them to come back.

Therefore, when Mrs. Jiang Guomin went back with a rosy complexion, it was inevitable that he would be surrounded by his neighbors, friends and friends.Most of the people are simple and honest, and these people didn't hide anything, so they told what they had seen and heard in Qin.

"What? Can the people of the Qin Kingdom go to the king's city to meet the king casually? The court also provides for the people's retirement?"

After hearing this, everyone had an incredulous expression.

They are okay with Qin's affluent life, and they won't be too envious. After all, Jiang Guo has been the number one power for many years, and the people's life is still good.But I was very shocked by Qin's policy change in recent years.

Originally, Tang Yu didn't want to be so radical, but the reality is too tight. In order to subdue countries without bloodshed, the people of all countries need to experience the huge gap. Only the gap can stimulate people, because people are instincts. Pursuit of better creatures.

So he simply moved out the modern social security. This benefit can't even be rejected by modern people, let alone ancient people?

"Actually, I don't just meet them casually. They seem to be called people's representatives. They go there once a year to report the demands of the people to the king. They don't have official positions, but they have some subsidies. I heard that the king of Qin was angry with those corrupt officials. Come up with such a way to prevent those evil officials from taking human lives indiscriminately."

That's majestic enough!

Rao, the Jiang people who have always been proud of their country can't help being envious. Being bullied and persecuted by corrupt officials is a common experience for the people of all countries. Even Jiang Guo cannot avoid it, only the severity is different.

"Then, what's the matter with the Qin State's pension for the people? The government still cares about this?"

"Yeah, what is it called social insurance, referred to as social insurance. I don't know the details. In short, when you are young, you give the government dozens of coins every month. When you are old, the government will send you money and food every month. At that time, I will be able to lighten the burden on the children of the family, and the elderly without children and widows will not have to worry about life. If you die, the government will guard your body and hold a funeral..."

Now the people of the Jiang country are really envious, why do they value their sons so much, except that a man can do heavy work, isn't it just raising a son to prevent the old man.

But the same kind of rice raises all kinds of people, and not every child grows up to be filial. There are many old people in the village who are not filial, or unlucky white-haired people send black-haired people lonely in their old age.It would be a beautiful thing if the country really provided pensions.

But the envy and envy are over. Jiang Guo has been strong for a long time, and the people of Jiang Guo have a much stronger sense of belonging than the people of other countries.

But ordinary people don't take these things to heart, and scholars are different. Scholars in this era don't care so much about which country they are from. They all like to travel around, to increase their knowledge and at the same time find a home for themselves to display their talents.

Jiang Guo has always been very powerful, so it is naturally the place that many Confucian scholars yearn for. However, there are only so many official positions, so there are too many monks and too few food.

Coupled with the fact that the gentry like to be cronyistic, it is difficult for ordinary Confucian scholars to get ahead if they have no connections. The fierce competition in Jiang Country naturally leads to a situation of excess talent, so many talented people are hidden among the people.

These people were shocked when they heard the news that the Qin State had overthrown the gentry and valued the promotion of poor people from the folk husbands.

The envoys from various countries who went to the Qin State for inspection concealed the news of Qin State’s overthrow of the gentry because of selfishness, so people from various countries, including the king, still don’t know about it, only those who run business know, but these people will not mess up say.

But at this time, knowing the news, the frustrated Confucian scholars in Jiang country became active after being shocked.

In addition to seeing the collection of poems brought back by these folk husbands from the Qin State, which described the magnificent scenery of the Qin State and the peaceful life of the people in the farmland, many smart people who wanted to make a difference suddenly made a decision, packed their bags and set foot on the desert. The road to Qin.

Prosperity, stability, and the benevolence of the superiors, this is the best country for Confucian scholars to go to, especially the poor children with no background. The current state of Qin is simply a paradise for them to display their talents!

Tang Yu's goal is this group of people. The Qin State is really short of talents now. In three years, it is not enough for them to cultivate enough manpower in their own country.

Jiang Guo has no shortage of talents, so he doesn't care about these people who are depressed among the people, and completely forgets this group of people. Naturally, he didn't expect Qin Guo to send a collection of poems with such intentions. When he found out later, it was already too late Night……

Leaving aside the rest of the story, anyway, the humble Confucian scholars who got the news from the people of Jiang State were so excited that they rushed to Qin State.

On the Qin side, after the citizens of various countries left, a special imperial decree was issued to all towns overnight through Fengchiniao.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple. It roughly means that the king understands that it is not easy for children from poor families to study. From now on, anyone who is a scholar and above, as long as he brings his ID card, he can eat and stay for free at the official "Chaolai Restaurant" when he travels far. Only pay half the money.

Confucian scholars who come to travel from other countries can also enjoy free accommodation, but they need to pay for their own food, but it is only half price.This is the respect and attention to scholars all over the world.

When this decree came out, the common people of the Qin State cheered again, and the poor scholars from all over the place worked hard even more. The current imperial court gives the poor children the opportunity to stand out. If they don't seize the opportunity, they will be struck by lightning!

And for the Confucian scholars who came from other countries to enjoy such special treatment as soon as they stepped into the territory of Qin State, I was really excited...

Qin border.

He Zibo and a few friends who came to Qin to look for opportunities were one of the excited crowd.

They had just arrived at the border of Qin State and completed the customs clearance procedures. Before entering the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city sent a special guide to lead the way after confirming their status as Confucian scholars. They enthusiastically took them to find accommodation and rest.

This kind of treatment is also available in other countries. After all, there are few scholars in this era, no matter how they don’t pay attention to poor scholars, but for the group of Confucian scholars, the kings of all countries are very jealous and valued. When it comes to cold reception, it is normal to be enthusiastic in attitude.

But they never expected that the Qin people would bring them to a restaurant whose decoration is not luxurious, but definitely looks like the cost will not be cheap, saying that they can live for free!You only need to pay half of the money for meals!

Several people had wide-eyed expressions, "This, this is true..." Is there such a good thing in the world?

The soldiers leading the way have long been familiar with their behavior. This is the frontier, and these inexperienced Confucian scholars always look like this when they come here for the first time. After all, in terms of the treatment of the common people, no one can compare to them now. Qin State.

The soldier is very proud,

"Of course! Our majesty loves the people like a son the most, and is especially considerate of the sufferings of our people. He knows that it is not easy for us common people to study at home. He has promulgated many generous imperial decrees. Your Confucian scholars who come from outside just do not give you money for accommodation. Our Confucian students in our country eat The lodging is free! But this is only for Chaolailou, not for other restaurants and inns.”

He Zibo and the others were very happy: that's great too, it's not cheap to go to the restaurant to see the consumption.Before, I only knew that Qin State valued poor families, but I didn't expect it to be so important. They really came to the right place.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Bing raised his chest even higher, showing off his popular science, "There are still many good places in our country of Qin, so I won't tell you one by one because time is limited. You can go to the bookstore to buy a "Guidelines for Tourists". There are many precautions and customs and taboos on it, which is very helpful for those who come to our Qin country for the first time."

And this thing?

Everyone's eyes lit up again. They are most afraid of not knowing anything when they go out. They usually find a fried dough stick in the local area, that is, a modern tour guide, to lead the way, so as not to touch the local taboo customs. Unexpectedly Qin State also sells this kind of books specially, and the names are easy to understand.

"Brother He, it seems that we have come to the right place..."

He Zibo, a busy traveler, and several classmates and friends looked at the restaurant in front of them, their faces showed a look of finding their home, and the depression in their hearts dissipated at this moment.
