Qin asked

The state of Qin issued a new regulation: Those who accept millet and thousand stones can be worshiped at the first level.

The merchants rushed to tell each other, but ordinary people didn't respond. Ever since Qin Xiangong abolished human sacrifices and replaced them with figurines, Qin has been reforming continuously, and the common people are numb. What's more, this order doesn't care about their affairs. Qianshi's Food is not available to ordinary people, except nobles and merchants.

Of course the nobles would not care about this title. If they really bought it with grain, they would probably be ridiculed by the entire noble class. But for merchants, this is great news. Although it is only a title, their status is Flying from hell to heaven, thousands of grains, worth it!

If you don't seize this kind of opportunity, you will be called a profiteer!

Looking at the notice on the wall, Huang Feng was gearing up, and he had a plan in his mind: he had stored several hundred shi of old rice at home, and he was waiting to sell it to make money during the drought. As for the remaining grain... Although the price of food has risen sharply now, he can still afford it, and he will decide on this title.

Once you have a goal, you have to do it right away. Huang Feng was about to turn around and go home to prepare, but was stopped by someone.

"This little brother is satisfied, can you clear up some doubts for me?"

Huang Feng turned his head and saw a man about 30 years old standing behind him and looking at him. The man spoke with a southern accent. Judging from Huang Feng's travel experience, the man was probably from Chu State, and his appearance was ordinary. , but inexplicably gave people a comfortable feeling, which eased Huang Feng's outburst of temper a little.

But that's just a few. Huang Feng is in a hurry to buy food. After passing this village, there is no such shop: "Brother, I have something urgent, you can ask someone else."

The visitor glanced at Huang Feng up and down, and said, "This brother is in a hurry to buy food?"

Huang Feng said angrily, "Yes."

You know why don't you let me go? !

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, if brothers go to buy food at this moment, it must be too late."

Huang Feng's heart sank, he looked around subconsciously, there were not many people... Indeed, it was late when he saw the notice, there probably wasn't much food on the street now, and even if he was willing to buy at a high price, he might Not many peers would be willing to...

Panicked, Huang Feng's tone became even worse: "Never mind your business!"

The other party had a good temper, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, you can go directly to the place where you pay the grain to buy."

Huang Feng's eyes lit up, that's right, there must be surplus grain at the grain payment office, and the other party has changed his title, and there is no conflict of interest with him, so if the business is not for nothing, he will definitely be willing to sell the surplus grain to him.

Seeing that Huang Feng seemed to have made a decision, the other party interrupted his train of thought and asked, "How about it, brother, do you have time to talk to me?"

Huang Feng came back to his senses, looked at the person who was even more businessman than him, and nodded curiously: "Of course there are, I'm going to Huang Feng, may I ask your honorable name."

The visitor said, "I'm next to Li Si."

...

Li Si, who used to be a small official, is not even an official now. In order not to be a mouse that eats dung in the latrine, he resigned resolutely and worshiped under Xunzi to learn the art of emperor. He believed that one day, he would become an emperor. Rats eating rice every day in the granary.

After finishing his studies, the teacher suggested that he go to Qin State to try his best to achieve great ambitions. He ranked the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period together and took it for granted, so he abandoned Chu State and came to Qin State. Then he found that Qin State did not plant Rice, he will never be a rice-eating mouse in Qin State...

It doesn't matter, if you eat millet, you will eat millet. He is a good mouse who is not picky about food.

But here, the mouse who only wants to eat rice has encountered a problem, why is Qin so clean?So clean that even the rats growing in the latrine can't find feces to eat?

"If you say this, it's a long story."

Huang Feng filled a glass of wine for the other party. With a plan, Huang Feng was not in a hurry. In order to thank the other party for his suggestion, he invited Li Si to a wine shop for a drink.

Li Si raised his wine to signal: "Brother Huang, please make a long story short."

Huang Feng squinted his eyes and said: "Some time ago, the Qin State was plagued by a plague. The king said that this filth was the cause of the plague, so he ordered it to be rectified. Do you see people with black belts on their sleeves on the street? Those people were originally People who caused trouble during the plague are still punished to manage the streets.”

"Oh? You can control the streets when you make trouble?"

Huang Feng laughed twice: "Brother Li doesn't know something, if there is dirt on the street, they have to clean it up by themselves, and there are latrines, they have to clean it up too."

"This..." Li Si was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, this move was too bad, "Brother Huang, do you know where all the things in the latrine are transported to?"

Huang Feng frowned: "I don't know, Brother Li, we are all drinking, what do you mean by these indecent things?"

Li Si smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just curious, so I won't mention it."

Huang Feng snorted, this is not too bad, who would be interested in excrement?

(In the distance, Ink Fountain, who is studying fertilizer, and Dumbledore, who is studying dragon dung in other planes: "Ah!")

Li Si ate a piece of meat with chopsticks, and asked again: "This notice is really interesting, and it made me feel a little moved..."

In the middle of Li Si's words, Huang Feng hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Li, don't get into this pit of fire. It's hard to be a businessman in Qin... For so many years, I only encountered this good news. Who knows next time?" still have this opportunity.”

Li Si nodded, and asked again: "It seems that Qin State is in urgent need of food, does Brother Huang know the reason?"

Huang Feng hesitated a little: "The reason... I reckon that the plague in front hurt the vitality of the Qin State, but you didn't see that scene, saying that a cloth on the face can prevent the plague, but the King of Qin gave a cloth to no one. That amount... tsk tsk, the King of Qin dared to send it... and then encountered this drought..."

Hearing what Huang Feng said on the opposite side, Li Si understood a little bit in his heart. It is really unlikely that King Qin had no money. Although he distributed so many cloths, he didn't spend on food. For a sum, even if he really ran out of money, he wouldn't be down to the point where he wanted to sell his official rank. There were many droughts and disasters before, and it wouldn't be like this.

Therefore, the biggest root cause should be Xiangguo Lu Buwei... By the way, Lu Buwei is really brave. Does he know how dangerous he is now?

Sending Huang Feng away, Li Si thought for a while, then turned around and ran towards the Lu Mansion, and Li Si smiled flatteringly at the guards in front of the gate of the Lu Mansion.

"Big brothers, I'm here to take refuge with Prime Minister Lu as a guest."

The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity, otherwise he would never see King Qin Yingzheng, and the other party would never be able to directly enter his room...

(In the distance, Mo Dou, who had lured Ying Zheng into the house when he was young: "Ah Choo!")

...

In the distance, a large piece of wasteland outside Xianyang City was carved out into a square, and within the big square, it was divided into countless small squares, and each small square was dug out a hole. Hardworking people are working hard to... bury shit...

"Ah!"

Another sneeze, Mo Dou rubbed his nose through the mask, who was thinking about him?

Uncle Niu said worriedly: "Young master, you should leave this place quickly, what if you get infected with the disease again?"

His little son didn't know what was wrong, so he started to study feces and urine. Didn't Dr. Jiang say that this thing is easy to catch diseases?Oh, hey, I'm really worried about him.

Mo Dou shook his head, took a deep breath cautiously, and looked up at the cesspit in front of him... wanted to vomit...

After seeing clearly that the planned amount of excrement and urine had been buried in the pit ahead, Mo Dou quickly lowered his head and exhaled: "This pit is almost done, fill it with soil, and go to the next pit."

Ah ah ah ah ah!I want to take a bath!Why did we encounter a drought!

In fact, he is not bad, after all, no matter what, he is just standing on the sidelines and watching, doing things are done by others... But it is still unbearable...

After a hard day's work, Mo Dou dragged his body, which he despised, back home, scrubbed his body hastily, and then... continued to work.

Uncle Niu nagged: "Master, you should go to bed early."

Mo Dou sighed helplessly, and he also thought: "Uncle Niu has had a hard day, go to bed early, I will pay attention to the time."

Uncle Niu glanced at Mo Dou with complete disbelief, shook his head and left, making Mo Dou a little guilty, as if he had become a student who was disliked by the teacher...

Mo Dou shook his head, shaking the strange feeling out of his head, and worked at his desk.

He wants to record today's progress. The ratio of soil to dung in each pit is different, and the fermentation time is also different. He has to try these ratios and fermentation time one by one, and the way to try is to grow grain and see the results directly. This is a complicated and long job, and Mo Dou is a little worried, feeling that if he fails to do it well, he may fall into it for the rest of his life.

Should he get someone to do it for him...but who?

umbrella?No, no, the umbrella cannot fall into this bottomless pit...

Sad.

"Who!"

Mo Dou asked suddenly, he was not asking and answering himself, but because there was someone outside the door, not Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would only come in ostentatiously, and would not stand at the door all the time, like a stone statue, if it wasn't for the flames moving, He didn't even notice.

When the other party came in with his head buried, Mo Dou looked at the other party's figure hesitantly and said, "Ah Tu?"

Ah Tu shook his body, buried his head lower: "Yes."

The doubts in Mo Dou's heart grew even bigger: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Atu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Atu is here to ask the young master to resign."

"Please resign?" Mo Dou put down his pen and sat up straight, "What's the matter, but someone in the workshop treated you badly?"

Ah Tu almost infected the plague into the workshop, and everyone complained about it. Although Mo Dou also said good things for Ah Tu afterwards, it was inevitable that Ah Tu would be squeezed out.

"No, everyone is fine."

"Then why did you resign? Your wife is not in good health, what are you going to do?"

Although Atu's wife was still rescued, the root cause of the disease was still removed, and the usual maintenance costs were quite a lot.

Atu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Atu knows that he is wrong, and he has no face to stay in the workshop, but Atu really needs money urgently... Atu just wants to ask the young master for an errand, which is what the young master has done recently. Things."

Mo Dou was quite surprised: "Do you know what I'm doing?"

"I know, Ah Tu asked Shan, and Shan said that he was willing to teach Ah Tu, if you have any questions, you can ask him..."

Mo Dou raised his eyebrows, and he said, why did Shan take a copy of his schedule and copy it down, because he wanted to make a small fuss for Ah Tu... However, he likes this small business.

"Okay, then I'll leave this job to you."

He can finally sleep well!
