my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 330 Zhao Tuo returns to Beijing
When we came back from Sansanli Valley, it was already dark.

As a result, before entering the gate, I saw Xubulantuo squatting at the door of his house, and the little prince of the Huns, Lutanjizhu, dressed in Qin costumes.

Seeing Zhao Ying's figure, the two people immediately greeted him.

"Your Highness, you are back -"

Zhao Ying: ...

This is a dog-skin plaster, right?

But with a warm smile on his face, he stepped forward and took Sublantuo's big hand affectionately.

"How long have you two been here? Why are you staying here? Quick, please come to the house——"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the steward outside the mansion with an unhappy expression.

"The little prince and Prince Youxian are distinguished guests in our house. How can we let the distinguished guests wait outside the door..."

Steward:  …

Before the steward could explain, Sublantuo on the side had already taken the initiative to explain with a smile on his face.

"It's none of your business, it's just what our Highnesses and I wanted to do - we feel that the house is too boring and we want to see the scenery of Xianyang outside..."

Zhao Ying suddenly understood and smiled.

"I see, our Xianyang scenery is indeed different from the grassland. If King Youxian is interested, I will arrange for Zhang Fucheng to take you around tomorrow. If you see anything, just ask - don't worry, I'll answer it All consumption is covered by me..."

Sublanto:......

This king is sending you this little money, right?
But he could only squeeze out a stiff smile and laughed dryly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness..."

When he saw the topic, he gradually ran away. He did not dare to greet the emperor's eldest grandson anymore and directly changed the topic.

"Your Highness, we are here to provide reinforcements. Saving people is like putting out fires. May I ask, Your Highness, when will our Great Qin army be able to send out troops?"

Looking at the right virtuous king Sublantuo who was looking at him blankly, Zhao Ying knew that this guy's temper had almost been worn away.

A surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Aren't you and Zhang Fucheng responsible for negotiating this matter? Why, it hasn't been decided yet?"

Sublanto:......

I can only hold my nose and keep smiling.

"Zhang Fucheng said that there are still some small details that have not been finalized yet - Your Highness, it has been quite a while since the young king arrived in Xianyang. Do you think you can tell Zhang Fucheng that we will send troops as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, Sublantuo quickly pointed to the carriage parked next to him.

"To express my gratitude, Xiao Wang also has some small thoughts to offer..."

Zhao Ying looked at the carriage parked on the side with some surprise. He did not expect that this time, not only did this guy bring a gift, but he also secretly hid it in the carriage.

"Why is King Youxian so polite..."

As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the carriage beside him.

Sublantuo had already taken the lead, walked to the carriage and gently lifted the curtain.

At this time, although the sky had darkened, Zhao Ying's eyesight was already far beyond that of ordinary people, but he could see clearly.

There was nothing else in the carriage, but sitting there was a beautiful girl with a delicate braid, silver jewelry, and an exotic aura.

This girl was already extremely beautiful, but when she wore the Huns' wide sleeves, thin waist, and short jacket, she looked even more majestic and graceful.

"This is……"

Zhao Ying looked at Sublantuo aside with some surprise.

The smile on Sublantuo's face became more and more flattering.

"This is a little girl. She is quite pretty. She is willing to dedicate her to His Highness and clean up the court for His Highness. Please don't dislike it..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I, Zhao Ying, am a lustful person!
He declined with a serious face, but as a result, Sublantuo was so sincere that he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Let's do this. I'll ask Zhang Fucheng tomorrow what's going on. Saving people is like putting out fires. There's no reason to delay like this!"

Hearing Zhao Ying's reply, Sublantuo almost burst into tears.

It’s not easy, but I finally got a positive response!
Having achieved his goal, Sublantuo politely declined Zhao Ying's invitation and went back with his little prince Luo Tan Ji Zhou without even entering the gate.

I am so anxious that I am not in the mood to drink with you!
It wasn't until he couldn't see the shadow of the eldest son's mansion anymore that Sublantuo breathed a sigh of relief and looked back with complex eyes at the eldest son's mansion, which was already shrouded in dusk.

The man next to him looked at Sublantuo worriedly.

"King Youxian, Xubu Yunduo is the most dazzling pearl on our grassland. The clouds floating in the sky are the next Yan family appointed by my father. If you send her out like this, how can you give her to my father when you return? The king explained..."

Sublantuo's face turned a little bitter.

"The situation is urgent, and we don't have to worry about so much..."

Speaking of this, he said a little helplessly.

"This is the method I asked from the Marquis of Guicheng. The Marquis of Guicheng said that the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin had no other good interests but only liked beauty. It was because he took the members of their Yue clan. The Pearl Yue Ji gave it to the eldest grandson of the emperor, so that she could gain the favor of the eldest grandson of the emperor and achieve her current status..."

Tutankhamun porridge:...

Honestly.

"I never expected that the eldest grandson of Emperor Qin would actually be a lecher!"

Perhaps he had thought about it completely, but Sublantuo waved his hand seriously.

"The young man Mu Ai is what he should be. It is our Xubu family's good fortune to be able to exchange a woman for the friendship and support of the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin. This matter, after I return, I will do it myself." I will personally explain it to the king..."

At this time, Mao Dun's thoughts were all on how to resist Xiang Yu's offensive. Naturally, he didn't know that the next Yan family he wanted was given away before he could marry him.

"Is there any news from King Youxian..."

He didn't even know how many times he had asked about this topic today.

The situation is getting more serious.

If reinforcements don't come, he doesn't know how long he can hold on. Is it possible that he really has to give up this grassland completely and escape to the cold northern land?

He shook his head reluctantly.

Subconsciously, his eyes followed the edge of the desert and mountains, all the way to the west, looking at a land he had never imagined...

"Your Majesty, there is nothing yet..."

The guards on the side carefully answered Mao Dun's questions.

These days, his king's temper has become increasingly violent, and he is afraid of becoming the next target of his wrath.However, fortunately, at this time, Mao Dun was only looking at the map in front of him, and his mind was not on him, which made him secretly relieved.

The Tuyu tribe's offensive became increasingly tense.

Before the meal was finished, there was another fierce fighting sound outside.

Modun kicked away the tables in front of him, gritted his teeth, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and strode out.

"Give me my order, stick to the camp and wait for help. If anyone has a problem, I want his head!"

……

The Qin people finally agreed to formally send troops, which made Sublantuo breathe a long sigh of relief.Although the process was a bit painful, it finally lived up to the trust of my Shanyu.He did not dare to delay any more. On the day he received the Daqin Agreement, he took Zhao Ying's handwriting and left Xianyang in a hurry.

I wish the mount beneath me could have wings.

It was naturally impossible for Da Qin to dispatch troops from Xianyang.

Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of Qin's elite troops are stationed in Shangjun, Jiuyuan, and Qiemo. As long as the imperial court gives an order, a mighty army will march directly.

Sublantuo felt comfortable, but Zhao Ying felt a little uncomfortable.

There's another woman in the family, and a unique prairie pearl who's a bit of a backyard fire.Wang Nan, who was pregnant, kicked him out of the bedroom that day. Yu Ji, who was already obviously pregnant, although she didn't embarrass him, she sent him out of the room in a gentle voice.

Li Shu's reaction was the most direct.

"Go find your prairie pearl, what are you doing here..."

bang——

Looking at the closed door, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that if he really dared to go to Xubu Yunduo's room today, he might not have a good life in the next few months.

but--

It's really not my fault. I'm not doing this for the sake of the Qin Dynasty and to calm the hearts of the Huns.

Women, they have long hair but short knowledge.

Complaints are complaints, he really didn't dare risk the fire in the backyard to favor the charming Xu Bu Yunduo with a prairie style.

Forget it, let’s let it go for a while.

Finally, shamelessly and with good talk, he finally squeezed into Wang Nan's room.

Alas, who said that men in ancient times could enjoy all the blessings of Qi people? It is not easy for men in Da Qin.

Now that Wang Nan was pregnant, he didn't dare to mess around. Instead, he slept peacefully and woke up the next day feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Also a surprise.

"Your Highness, there is news from the imperial court that General Zhao Tuo's fleet has arrived twenty miles outside Xianyang and is about to return..."

After washing, before Zhao Ying could go out, Zhang Liang hurried in from the outside and delivered the good news.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but perked up after hearing this.

Overjoyed.

"Good! I will personally go out to greet you!"

No matter how sorry Zhao Tuo was to Da Qin in history, Zhao Tuo at this historical point is still Da Qin's well-deserved hero.

He assisted Tu Sui to pacify Baiyue, and formulated a series of effective policies for Baiyue according to local conditions, stabilizing the situation in Baiyue.

In addition to sitting back and watching the demise of the Qin Dynasty, sealing the passes, and standing still, he was indeed a capable minister.

Although he tried his best to transfer the uncertain Zhao Tuo back to Xianyang, he did not have any special ill intentions towards this person.

But one thing is for sure, if he comes back this time, he won’t even think about going back!
Because of this, his whole mood improved a lot.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the palace, the First Emperor discovered something unusual.

"What's going on today? I'm so happy..."

In the messy imperial garden that had been transformed by the First Emperor, the First Emperor happily raised his head in the unfinished greenhouse and looked at his eldest grandson who strode in from the outside.

"General Zhao Tuo will be back soon!"

Looking at his eldest grandson's unabashed smile, the First Emperor couldn't help but be speechless.

This child didn't know what kind of evil he had committed.

He is trying every possible means to bring Zhao Tuo back. In fact, in his opinion, Zhao Tuo is really a rare capable minister, and his series of performances in Baiyue are remarkable.

If Zhao Ying hadn't been obsessed with bringing Zhao Tuo back, he would have even wanted to promote Zhao Tuo and take a step further.

After all, among the three counties in Lingnan, Meng Tian is the only top official.

"You--"

The First Emperor shook his head.Just avoid this topic.

"However, even if he comes back at this time of year, I'm afraid he won't be able to grow the three-season rice you mentioned..."

Zhao Ying waved his hand indifferently.

"It won't work this season, there will be next season. Besides, Jiangnan has already started trial planting. When there are harvests and the results are seen, people will naturally follow suit..."

He is not worried about promoting Champa rice.

The output and advantages of grain are there. As long as the imperial government relaxes its decrees, no one will be stupid enough to resist.

"However, regarding taxation, it's better for the eldest father to ask someone to come up with a set of policies as soon as possible. Don't turn a good thing into a bad thing and harm the local Guizhou chief..."

Da Qin's taxes are now paid twice a year, once in summer and autumn.

During the harvest season, people from the imperial court would stand in the fields, weigh your output on the spot, and then decide how much tax you should pay.

This Champa rice is harvested three times a year.

This will have an impact on this tax collection model. Zhao Ying knows very well that if the court cannot come up with a set of policies as soon as possible, the officials below can play a hundred tricks for you in order to increase tax revenue.

On the contrary, it will bring unnecessary disasters to the people.

As Zhao Ying spoke, he squatted down next to the First Emperor and helped take care of the unfinished kang.

"good--"

Hearing Zhao Ying mention this, the First Emperor couldn't help but reveal a smile that couldn't be concealed.

The growth of this child is visible to the naked eye.

It's really commendable that I can take the initiative to think of this.

"If this matter is left to you, how do you think the court should adjust..."

Zhao Ying then compacted a piece of green brick while pondering.

"The Champa rice yield is high, and in places with suitable conditions, it can be harvested three times a year. This is the extra yield, and it is the welfare that the imperial court seeks for the world's leading officials. I think the tax policy can be relaxed appropriately..."

It is impossible not to collect taxes.

Today's conditions do not meet the conditions for not collecting agricultural taxes.

As Zhao Ying spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the First Emperor. Seeing that the First Emperor was noncommittal, he didn't think much and just said.

"In the third quarter, perhaps we can only collect [-]% of the usual taxes to encourage them to farm more..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"It just so happens that this time the Huns agreed to send us [-] head. Maybe we can take some of them and put them in the south as an encouragement..."

There are many paddy fields and buffaloes in the south.

But this does not mean that there are no dry fields in the south. Investing some cattle can greatly relieve the pressure on the labor force, and then free up more manpower and material resources to invest in the promotion of Champa rice.

"I suggest that the rest be invested in Liaodong and Liaoxi areas..."
