Chaotic Qin

No matter how complicated the diners were when they watched Mr. Zi Chu squatting and chatting with a weather-stained old farmer, Qin Zichu had already managed to get the old man beside him to open up the chatter box, saying one sentence after another to him. Tell the truth.

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in an unbelievable tone: "What? There is such a thing! What does Lizheng's son marrying a wife have to do with your spring plowing and water distribution?"

The old man frowned in distress, raised his thick black hands full of cracks and scratched in his bun, and said nonchalantly, "What is this? Who doesn't use water during spring plowing? Anyway, it needs water." Look for opportunities to grab water and use it at home first. Li Zheng is willing to use excuses to fool us. Hey hey hey, this is how the world is. Our Daqin is already good, even if the farm tools are not very handy, with a good You can finish the work with strength. Usually, if you plow the land well, there will be rewards. It’s not like other countries—I heard that they have been defeated by our Qin army. When the soldiers run away one by one, they can take off their shoes Lost. If we live in such a precarious country, even if we have land, we can’t cultivate it well, so we are not as safe as we are.”

Qin Zichu remembered the old man's words, and continued to ask: "How can you say that the farm tools are not in hand? I just saw that the old man walked from one end to Tian Long to the other end very quickly."

The old farmer rubbed his face and couldn't help scratching his body.

After he strangled a louse, he waved his arms to outline the appearance of the whole field, sighed and said slowly: "The farm tools in my hand haven't been changed for many years. If there are some new tools, or a plowing ox If you don't, don't look at my old man who is almost fifty, and it won't take much effort to plow ten more acres of land!"

Qin Zichu showed a look of astonishment.

He pointed at the old man and deliberately fell backwards, fell into the dirt, and said loudly, "What? Old man, you are almost 50 years old? You don't look like a person of this age at all, your body is too tough."

The old man laughed loudly, grabbed Qin Zichu, helped him to sit cross-legged, and then said nonchalantly: "There are so many people who say that we are a group of people, we will live and work until we die. Otherwise, my son We have all gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, who will support us? There are still daughters-in-law and grandchildren waiting for food."

Qin Zichu sighed and said, "The old man has worked too hard."

"Hey, isn't that how life is? Why are there so many troubles? With my strength, the whole family can have enough to eat, and they don't have to go hungry or cold at ordinary times. That's good." The old man said with a smile Standing up, he proudly puffed up his chest, "The last time my son came back, he sent a lot of money back, saying that he has made military achievements again, and I heard that he is a gentleman when he comes back this time. I said you are young, since you don't need Go to the battlefield and fight your life, it is better to go home honestly, and follow your father to learn what you need to learn. Don’t wander around and continue wasting the years.”

Qin Zichu seems to be very useful for attacking: "Of course, thank you for your enlightenment, old man."

The old man pulled Qin Zichu out of the field carefully, then waved his hand, and said bluntly: "Okay, let's go. Be careful next time when you pass by other people's fields, and you will hurt the seedlings if you step on them. I'm going to be beaten."

"I see. Thank you for reminding me, old man." Qin Zichu smiled foolishly, scratched the back of his head, and walked out of the field slowly.

When he returned to the doormen, the simple and honest expression on his face had disappeared without a trace.

He said with a cold face: "Go and find out what is going on with the water struggle? Is it because the spring plowing season in various places is distressed by the problem of insufficient water sources?"

"Yes, son." Qin Chu immediately dispatched a pair of soldiers to investigate the matter.

Before anyone could leave his sight, Qin Zichu said again: "Go and investigate the local chronicles again. I need to know when the farm tools were last replaced."

After Qin Zichu finished speaking, a deep gully appeared between his brows, and the matter involved in farming seemed to be much more serious than he thought.

There are many rivers in the Guanzhong Plain. It is reasonable to say that everyone can go to draw water for irrigation in this kind of big river that grows on the surface. Moreover, the weather in Qin State has been good in the past few years, and there is no need to compete for water at all.

But since this kind of thing has happened, there must be some tricks in it.

Before going out, Qin Zichu had consulted the archived slips, and the farm tools could not have been “spent for many years”!

"It's not good, something serious happened here!" A young man with an ordinary appearance ran into the only neat big room in the village, and started to shout loudly without even breathing.

"Who's bad?! You're so virtuous, can't you grow up? I told you not to be good now!" A plump woman who was not young came out of the room.

She was wearing a long unpatched muslin dress, with a few silver hairpins pinned to her hair.

Hearing the young man's words, the woman looked unkind, as if the young man had committed some taboo.

As soon as the young man saw his wife coming out of the room, he rushed to her and said in a hurry: "The grandson of the prince, Mr. Chu, has come to this small place like ours. Who knows what someone said to him? After the army brought by Mr. Zi Chu carried away the cartloads of wooden pieces from the government office, they became furious, and many county lieutenants, pavilion chiefs, and village chiefs from all over the country were arrested. I just went to the mountain to fight Chai, I saw someone approaching from a distance. Sister, do you think this is...?"

"Bah!" The plump woman spat on the young man's face.

She said unhappily: "The chief didn't do anything? We have nothing to be afraid of."

The young man glanced at the silver hairpin on the woman's head, and said in a low voice: "Sister, did you forget that the county distributed farm tools and three cattle two years ago? You must say that other women's wives have Silver hairpin, you don’t have one, shame on you. Didn’t my brother-in-law pawn all the farm tools, and then bought you the three silver hairpins on top of your head?—Tell me, could this be exposed.”

The plump woman turned pale with fright.

But then her face collapsed, she pushed her brother away, twisted her body back into the room and sat down on the quilt.

She said unhappily: "If it is really found out, will we have to wait two years? This matter is not just our family, otherwise you are the other village chiefs, what are you doing to coax your daughter-in-law and take a concubine. "

The plump woman reluctantly stroked the jewelry she had accumulated over the years, and suddenly snapped the makeup box.

She glared at the young man fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "You don't usually have a clue. The officials of hundreds of households nearby have kept this matter secret. If there is a trouble, according to Daqin Laws are no fun."

The young man wiped the saliva sprayed on his face, salivated and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't talk about such things."

The plump woman finally showed a smiling face, but before the smile on her face melted, the endless sound of weapons outside the door made her scream out of color.

Qin Zichu flipped through the edicts issued on farm tools over the years, the more he read, the more angry he became.

The hinterland of Guanzhong, the lifeline of the Great Qin!

In such an important place, countless corrupt officials are hidden, and even the newly issued farm tools are not spared. After layers of skinning, some places have not issued new farm tools for 17 consecutive years!

17 years! !

"Kang Dang!" With a sound, Qin Zichu slammed the slips to the ground, and his voice contained the anger of his opponent's disciples, "How many of you grew up on this land, but none of you think there is something wrong with it, and you don't know what's wrong with it. Stop me from coming to Guanzhong to have a look in person. Could it be that this group of moths have given you benefits?!"

The doormen knelt on the ground, and no one dared to speak.

Even if their original intention was to feel that Qin Zichu couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling, but for the incident before them, as the servants who helped the master solve problems, they could all bear the blame.

At this time, it was Yingran, who was a brother, who spoke better.

He walked forward with a calm expression, put his letters back on the table one by one, and said softly: "Zi Chu, you are very angry and hurt your body."

Qin Zichu couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, but he still took the initiative to suppress his anger to the bottom of his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Zichu said to Yingran in a deep voice: "I was worried that if I changed the farm tools, there would be a huge backlash. Now it's just right for such a big event to break out. Even if I casually distribute the farm tools, the people in Guanzhong will only I am grateful to you—after all, no matter how poor the farm tools are, they are hundreds or thousands of times better than the broken copper and iron in their hands!"

Ganzi laughed when he heard Qin Zichu's words, and said softly, "It's a misfortune, but a blessing. This is Lord God Bless, why don't you be happy."

The depression in Qin Zichu's heart gradually dissipated, and he smiled into Ganzi's eyes.

He nodded, and when he looked at the doormen again, he returned to his style of gentleness and courtesy.

Qin Zichu cupped his hands and said: "The next thing I have to trouble you, follow me, please carefully disassemble the agricultural tools that Zhao Guode brought, and see how they let the agricultural tools perform 'ploughing' and 'planting' at the same time. ongoing."

Seeing that Qin Zichu wasn't distracted by the anti-corruption incident, the faces of the few disciples who were good at utensils showed smiles.

One of them suddenly walked out of the queue and knelt down in front of Qin Zichu with a "Boom!"

He kowtowed to Qin Zichu and said: "My son, Zenghu, is an incompetent disciple of the Mohist sect. He concealed the truth from the young master before. Please forgive me. The young master has the ambition to serve the people, and Zeng Hu originally worked hard for the young master."

Qin Zichu looked at Zeng Hu, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on his face.

He pulled it up from the ground and said briskly, "Go, go to work! I just need a talent like you!"

╰(*°▽°*)╯Mo family!

This is a Mohist disciple!

The Mo family who can invent magic weapons such as ballista, transfer machine, and borrowing cart!

Zeng Hu's face became hot from Qin Zichu's warm treatment.

Just as he was about to say something, Qin Zichu leaned forward and blew a mouthful against his ear, saying in a slightly hoarse voice: "Your senior brothers, are there any who are short of money and have no job? I, Daqin, are willing to recruit them."

Dear, go and sell Amway to your fellow apprentices!
