Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 466 So We Are Big Brothers

Ganquan Palace, by Yingzheng's private swimming pool.

Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​and Ying Zheng chatted topless on the parasol floor.

It looked like he had just come up from a swim.

Among the three, Ying Zheng is the oldest, Meng Tian is next, and Wang Ben is the youngest.

But among the three, Meng Tian has the best figure, with eight-pack abs. Although Wang Ben's figure is not bad, he only has one abdominal muscle.

As for Brother Zheng
What are abs?
But Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I heard that there is trouble in Xianyang, it seems that it still can't work."

"With the help of the prince, we should be able to save the day," Meng Tian said.

"When you were in Yunzhong County, you protected him. I really don't know if it's your son or my son."

Ying Zheng glanced at Meng Tian and complained.

Wang Ben's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?"

"Marquis Tongwu is not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Meng Tian's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The old minister has always upheld his heart to the eldest son, and never sought selfishness. It's just that there are some things that cannot be forced."

Hearing this, Wang Ben pursed his lips and didn't say much.

Ying Zheng sighed, and said, "Responsible for supervising the country, you should know the difficulties of state affairs, and you will be able to handle it with ease when you go out to practice in the future."

"Going out to practice?"

Wang Ben and Meng Tian looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Ying Zheng looked at them, then at the pool in front of him, hesitated a little, and said, "That kid Zhao Kun's boat has gone out to sea, I'm afraid he's looking for South America."

"South America?" Meng Tian frowned, as if he had never heard of this place.

Wang Ben explained: "This world is not only Daqin, but also many overseas places. According to the prince, there are seven continents and four oceans, and South America is one of the seven continents, which is rich in sweet potatoes!"

"What does His Majesty mean, that he hopes King Qin will go to South America to establish a country in the future?" Meng Tian thought of the key point.

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "A country can only have one monarch, and my son can only have one emperor!"

"This"

Meng Tian hesitated, but he was not surprised.

Because when Yingzheng made Fusu King of Qin, Fusu's fate was already doomed, and he was no longer destined for the throne in this life.

But Meng Tian never expected that Ying Zheng would send Fu Su overseas.

Really a real son, this hate.
"You don't have to think too much. After conquering South America, I will also take the soldiers of Daqin to travel to other continents."

"Your Majesty is saying that our next goal is to conquer the world?" Wang Ben asked excitedly.

"Hehe, didn't that kid say it long ago? Our goal is the sea of ​​stars!"

"Sea of ​​stars."

Meng Tian murmured, his eyes brightened: "Good ambition!"

"It's still early, so don't think too much about it. The development of Daqin will take time. We old bones, enjoy a lot, and leave the worries to the young people."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, looked up at the palace attendant not far away, and said, "The wind is coming!"

slam-la-

The sound of the blower shaking sounded, and a gust of cool wind blew, refreshing.

At this moment, Wang Ben yelled again; "Add some ice cubes."

"promise."

"More cocktails and barbecue!" Meng Tian added while lying on his back.

"promise."

As their words fell, the attendants of the entire Oasis Palace began to get busy.

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, these two old guys, it's no wonder that they stay here and don't leave, they regard Zhen's palace as their own home! ?
At the same time, on the other side, Prince Qin's Mansion.

Zhao Kun looked at Fusu with displeasure on his face: "Brother, why do you run here every three days? Do you really regard this place as your home?"

"Isn't this my home?"

Fusu was taken aback by Zhao Kun's question, and asked back.

Zhao Kun: "."

"Okay, Brother Kun, I have business to see you!"

"You talk about business every time, when did you come to my wild wolf disco dinner!"

What coyote disco dinner?Fusu was a little puzzled, but he didn't take it seriously. He waved his hands and said, "I don't have time now, let's talk about the food price first!"

"What happened to the food price?"

Zhao Kun frowned.

Fusu explained the situation in recent days in detail.

It turned out that the price of grain in Guanzhong plummeted, and the people in Guanzhong didn't feel anything.

However, the urgent reports from other counties gathered towards Xianyang like snowflakes.

Somehow these memorials reached the ears of the old Qin people in Guanzhong, which aroused their great dissatisfaction.

We are willing to sell our own food at a low price, what has it to do with you?

Take off your pants one by one to let off your breath, so we old Qin people can't live a good life!

The Daqin Chaotang has not expressed its position on this situation for a long time, and the nobles are also starting to move around.

The knowledge of Xungui and ordinary people is completely different.

In their eyes, no matter in what era, food can be called hard currency.

The first emperor only exempted the agricultural tax in Guanzhong for three years, but what about three years later?

Who can guarantee that the Great Qin will have good weather every year and everything will prosper.

You know, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and there are disasters for people.

The reason why nobles are nobles is because they have been passed down for a long time and know how to avoid disadvantages.

Take grain as an example, this year they bought grain at the lowest price.

As long as it is stored properly, it will not be a problem to store it for three to five years.

In a famine year, you can make a lot of money.

Anyway, if the court doesn't say anything about this kind of thing that you love and I want, who will meddle in other people's business.

Under such circumstances, all the nobles in Xianyang opened their hands to collect grain.

The whole Guanzhong is harmonious.

From common people to nobles, everyone is smiling.

but
Life in other counties is miserable.

The drop in grain prices caused all grain merchants from other counties to flock to Guanzhong.

People in other counties couldn't sell their food, and life became more and more difficult.

You know, the outer counties are not as developed as Guanzhong.

There are almost no factories and commercial projects, and the source of income for most people is still from farming.

Amid all the turmoil, a new issue of the newspaper was published.

In this issue of the newspaper, Meng Yi's memorabilia on the issue of grain prices was published.

The whole article is full of nearly ten thousand words.

The Meng family has been loyal to the Qin State for generations, and holds a very important position in the hearts of the old Qin people.

But to the surprise of the old Qin people, Meng Yi did not speak for them in the memorial, but turned his heart to the outer county.

Meng Yi first explained that the drop in food prices would have incalculable consequences for Daqin's economic development.

Later, he severely criticized the old Qin people's behavior of selling grain regardless of their current behavior.

One of the selected quotes reads:

The sages said that people with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no one who seeks to live to harm benevolence, but one who kills himself to achieve benevolence.

The world of Great Qin is originally one.

Although Guanzhong is rich and prosperous, it must be known that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

Why does Guanzhong ignore the retort and regard the people in other counties as worthless?
At the end of the memorandum, Meng Yi described in detail how the people in other counties had a miserable life because of the sharp drop in food prices.

There are three farmers in Yuyang County, the parents are farmers, and the only son in the family has excellent grades in private schools.

However, the price of food fell, and the food at home could not be sold.

Because the family was in a difficult situation before, the family owed a lot of foreign debts.

When the grain could not be sold, the creditor came to the door and directly took away the grain from the family to repay the debt, and all of them were offset at the market price.

In this way, the foreign debt has not been paid off.

The family has no food to live on.

The host couldn't think about it for a while, so he threw himself into the river.

A pair of orphans and widows were left behind, lacking clothing and food, and did not know how to survive.

What a tragedy!
Xianyang, as the land of Gyeonggi, developed earlier than other counties.

In addition, Qin State started from Guanzhong.

No matter how you look at it, Guanzhong is regarded as the big brother in all parts of Qin State.

And the old Qin people in Guanzhong should be the big brothers of the people everywhere.

However, what Big Brother did made Meng Yi feel extremely chilled.

An angry Meng Yi even used words like "the preface of filial piety" in the memorabilia to accuse the old Qin people of being ignorant.

This memorial was disclosed in the newspaper, which immediately caused an uproar in Guanzhong.

The old Qin people were directly stunned by Fusu's scolding!
What?
We have also become the big brothers of the people everywhere in Daqin?

To be honest, as the old people of Qin, the old Qin people have always looked down on people from other places.

This sense of superiority became even more apparent after the reunification of the six countries.

To put it bluntly, they never thought that they were one with the survivors of the Six Nations.

The words "big brother" made them feel inexplicable.

Also.

Because of the imperial examination on the vernal equinox next year, students from all over the Qin Dynasty will gather in Xianyang at this time.

These students naturally have a heart for their hometown and take every opportunity to speak for their hometown.

Soon, the tide of public opinion turned.

Among other things, the statistics from the Ministry of Commerce show that the people in Guanzhong no longer actively sell grain.

Everyone is watching to see Fusu's opinion on this matter.

After all, Meng Yi is not Fusu, he has no right to handle such government affairs.

It was precisely for this that Fusu came to find Zhao Kun.

"This Meng Yi is quite tough!" Zhao Kun said with a smile after hearing Fusu's narration.

"Although Meng Shangqing had too many worries in the past, he was an upright person. When encountering such a thing, he would definitely not let it go!"

Fu Su smiled wryly, "But I'm a bit embarrassed."

"What's so embarrassing? Directly order the Ministry of Commerce to suppress those grain merchants who buy grain at low prices, and then issue a decree to build large granaries. According to the previous plan, just buy grain from the people's hands at a low price!"

Zhao Kun gave Fusu a blank look and said.

"That"

Fusu still hesitated: "Will your economic development plan be frustrated by this?"

"Economic development requires law-abiding and sustainable development. These black apples are not in my plan at all!"

"Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Zhao Kun stared: "Just go ahead and do it boldly, don't worry too much!"

"Okay, okay!"

Fusu replied hesitantly.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, there is something wrong with the negotiation with Xianbei, maybe I need to trouble you?"

"Didn't you say you agreed to their request? Then you can get back your money with interest!"

Fusu said awkwardly: "I told the people of Dianke Mansion what I meant, but the people of Dianke Mansion couldn't grasp it, and the talk fell apart!"

"What kind of idiot, is this also worthy of diplomacy?" Zhao Kun was annoyed.

Fusu said helplessly: "During the period of civil strife, a lot of talents were lost, and those who are now in positions lack experience."

"But I, the Prince of Qin, went to talk about the land distribution for them, isn't it too embarrassing for them?" Zhao Kun frowned.

Fu Su thought for a while, and said, "You don't need to talk about it yourself, I'll arrange someone else to talk about it, but I just need your advice."

"Arrange who?"

"The person recommended by General Meng Tian seems to be called Fan Xiliang."

"The person recommended by Meng Tian should be reliable"

Zhao Kun nodded, suddenly remembered something, raised his voice and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, then replied in a daze: "Fan, Fan Xiliang."

"No, the Fan Xiliang you're talking about is the Fan Xiliang I know?"

"Is there any other Fan Xiliang?"

"This"

Zhao Kun hesitated, this is really hard to say.

Even Han Xin has someone with the same name and surname, let alone Fan Xiliang.

However, this is not right. Didn't Fan Xiliang die early?Isn't it the same person? !
Zhao Kun shook his head and changed the subject: "Aside from this matter, is there anything else? If not, let's go to Ganquan Palace to play with Father."

"Didn't Father go swimming with Marquis Tongwu and General Meng?"

"Swimming? I would enjoy it!"

"Since the reconstruction of Ganquan Palace, father's mood has become better and better, and his condition seems to have stabilized a lot!" Fusu said with a smile.

"Okay, they play theirs, we play ours."

Zhao Kun said, "If you're okay, let's go out of the city. It is said that there is a big lake on the Weishui River. Recently, lotus flowers are in full bloom. It's so beautiful. How about we take our little niece and sister-in-law with us for an outing?"

"Just our family? You don't bring anyone with you?" Fusu asked back.

Zhao Kun chuckled: "Secret!"

"You boy, don't disappoint the young lady of the Wang family. It is said that the father is going to hold a wedding for you next month."

"Next month?"

Zhao Kun murmured, tilted his head and said, "Then I mentioned to you that October [-]st will be the National Day, and the whole country will have a seven-day holiday."

When Fusu heard this, he laughed immediately: "I mentioned it to the father, and the father agreed."

"It's fine if you agree. Our Daqin has finally ushered in the sign of a prosperous age. We can't make the people too tired and have to rest properly."

"If you're lazy, then you're lazy, and you still have a rest."

"You don't understand." Zhao Kun shrugged.

Fu Su smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, I'm going back, I'll think about the outing."

"Don't you go back after eating?"

"Busy, no time."

On the second day after Fusu returned to the palace, the decree was promulgated.

Now the people in Guanzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the grain merchants bought grain at low prices, they, the sellers, were also responsible.

Daqin ruled the country by law, and they were afraid that the court would settle accounts after autumn.

In this era, there is no routine for fishing law enforcement.

It is not uncommon for the imperial court to feel that something is wrong, issue a law, and pursue accountability.

Now, the King of Qin has put all the blame on the grain merchants.

Everyone is happy now.

Those unscrupulous profiteers should be killed!

King Qin only fined them some money, counting them lucky.

The next day, Li Sixiong, Li Sixiong of Lijia Village in Chongquan County, led some villagers to the county government with grain, saying that they would donate it to the mother and son in Yuyang County.

The county lieutenant was very pleased and reported it to the court immediately.

Fusu admired this kind and benevolent example, and personally wrote a plaque of "Qin People's Example" and gave it to Lijia Village.

With such a case, other places in Guanzhong could not sit still and followed suit.

For a time, there was an upsurge of donating food to other counties in various parts of Guanzhong.
