Chapter 331 Good deeds never end
"Liaodong and Liaoxi?"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and turned to look at Zhao Ying aside with some confusion.

Liaodong and Liaoxi were originally the lands of the ancient Yan State. During the Yan Kingdom, counties and counties were set up here, the people were relocated, and the two areas were developed.It not only brought the advanced ideology and culture of the Central Plains region to this place, but also brought advanced agricultural and handicraft production technologies.

After Qin destroyed Yan, its rule over eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning was further strengthened.Not only did the Northern Great Wall of Yan State be renovated, but Chi Road was also built to open up the transportation network. The most important trunk road can go from Liaoning to Xianyang via Hangu Pass.

But even so, the two places are still sparsely populated.After all, compared with Guanzhong and the Central Plains, it is still too cold here. This famous Beidacang in later generations has not attracted enough attention from people.Even the First Emperor did not pay enough attention to the food production in these two places.

Zhao Ying nodded very definitely.

"Although the weather in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning is extremely cold most of the year, it is rich in products and the land is extremely fertile. If cultivated well, it may become an important food producing area in our Daqin."

The First Emperor nodded slightly, noncommittal.

“Have you ever thought about where the manpower to open up wasteland and cultivate land comes from?”

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor moved the people of the world many times, but no matter how he moved, he could not avoid a basic truth, that is, the world had been fighting for many years, and the population was seriously insufficient.

The most important thing is that Beidacang at this time was still worthy of the name Beidahuang. For a long time afterwards, it was even a place where the imperial court exiled criminals.

In this era, one can imagine how difficult it is to move people here.

"Now that Donghu has been destroyed, the Huns have no time to take care of themselves, and the pressure on our Qin border has been greatly reduced - my suggestion is to follow the measures taken by Hexi County and implement military garrison!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.

He had made people aware of Zhao Ying's actions in Hexi, so he naturally knew the benefits of the military garrison.

Compared with those idle farmers, the advantages of this kind of established young people in reclaiming wasteland and cultivated fields are too obvious, but the efficiency is not the same.In this way, it not only solves the problem of labor shortage, but also greatly relieves the pressure on military rations and promotes the development of eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning.

"Shan! You can discuss this matter with Nei Shiten and work out a feasible plan as soon as possible..."

Zhao Ying helped lay the last big green brick, and then the two of them stood up from the shed calmly.The maid waiting on the side had already prepared warm water at a suitable temperature. The two of them chatted and washed their hands naturally.

Then, he calmly did another set of Tai Chi.

Zhao Ying only felt that the aura on his body became more and more intense and lively, and the First Emperor also felt that his body was warm and quite comfortable.Mornings are still simple.

In addition to the unbeatable fish balls, the First Emperor drank a portion of wolfberry millet porridge and two xiaolongbao stuffed with chives.

Zhao Ying had several cages of steamed buns, a bowl of hot porridge, and a bowl of stewed venison with alternate fat and lean meat.

In this season, the wild venison stewed with Northeastern Laoshan Ginseng is nutritious and delicious. It is really a rare treasure.

No need to worry about eating.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Ying reached out and took the wet wipe handed by the maid at the side, wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and then stood up.

"General Zhao Tuo has long been a leader in Baiyue, and has personally brought fine seeds to our Qin Dynasty. Thanks to his hard work, I am ready to welcome him personally..."

First Emperor:……

He waved his hands somewhat speechlessly.

"go Go--"

……

Above the Wei River.

Many years of detention in Lingnan have made his complexion dark and rough, and he has a vague air of a local native. He is no longer the handsome young man he once was, but his eyes are still shining, revealing the depth and depth accumulated by the years. Wisdom.

At this time, he stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Xianyang City getting closer and closer in his field of vision, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.After many years of separation, I, Zhao Tuo, am back again!
At this moment, he suddenly stared.

I saw a small boat speeding across the river, with a Da Qin captain in black armor standing on the bow.The boat didn't come close, but stopped far away in the river.

"On the ship, is General Zhao Tuo in person? Your Majesty has ordered that the emperor's eldest grandson will personally greet the general outside the city. Please make preparations in advance..."

Zhao Tuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the famous emperor's eldest grandson would personally come out of the city to greet him.

"It's Zhao, General Lao, please pass the message!"

After receiving Zhao Tuo's personal response, the captain who came to deliver the message did not stop, turned the ship's bow, and sailed away.Zhao Tuo ordered his ships to slow down and give way to the bow of the ship.

Although he had been away from the Central Plains for a long time, as an important minister of the Qin Dynasty, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin who suddenly emerged.

Naturally, we know Zhao Ying's current status in Da Qin.

He asked himself that he had not had much interaction with the legendary Emperor's Grandson, and he did not expect that he would come to greet him in person.

But in return, as a minister, you have to know how to advance and retreat.

Of course, he didn't know at this time that the reason why Meng Tian gradually seized control of Lingnan and was gradually marginalized was because of the instructions of the emperor's eldest grandson. He was even suddenly transferred to recruit good breeders. The handiwork of this emperor's eldest grandson.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I may not be able to maintain my current mentality.

Zhao Ying had seen the statue of the King of Nanyue in his previous life. The statue was majestic and majestic. But when he saw the real person today, he realized that the statue in later generations cannot be said to have nothing to do with the real person. That's pretty much it.

But this Zhao Tuo, although not as heroic as the statues of later generations, looks similar to an ordinary old farmer in Lingnan in later generations, but his eyes are deep and bright, and standing there, there is only a magnanimity that cannot be ignored.

"General Zhao, it's been a hard journey!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo standing among the crowd from a distance, Zhao Ying had already greeted him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo, has met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"

Zhao Tuo was about to bow in return, but Zhao Ying had already stepped forward and held his arm.

"When I was alone in Xianyang, I had long heard about the name of General Zhao. He was the hero of the world for his ability to conquer Lingnan and conquer Baiyue. He was an outstanding strategist. I had long wanted to ask for advice in person. Unfortunately, the general was far away in Lingnan and could not be seen. Today I finally met him. Real person!"

Zhao Ying had a hearty laugh and sincere eyes.

Zhao Tuo was still a little depressed at first. At this time, when he saw that the legendary emperor's eldest grandson, who later rose to prominence, was so humble and courteous in front of him, and respected him so highly, he couldn't help but feel a little better.

He struggled a bit and tried to get rid of Zhao Ying's big hand, but failed. He could only raise his face slightly and look at Zhao Ying's enthusiastic smile.

"Your Highness is overly complimentary. I just followed General Tu Sui and General Meng Tian and did my duty as a minister. I don't deserve such praise from Your Highness..."

When Zhao Tuo returned to the capital, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun came out to welcome him in person, giving him a lot of face.

The First Emperor also personally received him, and he was rewarded on the spot for his merits. He was granted the title of Grand Concubine, making him one of the people with the highest titles in the Qin Dynasty.He also held a banquet in Zhangtai Palace and received him personally, which was the ultimate favor.

Later, the First Emperor encouraged him personally.

"General Zhao has been traveling hard all the way. Let's go back to my home to recuperate for a while. In a few days, I will have another important use..."

When Zhao Tuo heard this, his body froze slightly, and then he bowed deeply and saluted.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Although the First Emperor did not say it clearly, he understood what the First Emperor meant, that is, there were other arrangements for him, and he would not be able to return to Lingnan.I have been running the business for many years, but it has completely come to nothing, and I have made Meng Tian a profit for nothing!
For a moment, thoughts were swirling in his mind, and the meaning was unclear.

Until he saw his gray-haired old father, his wife, who had long lost her beauty, and their two and a half young men, already waiting outside the door of the house. When he arrived, his His eyes finally softened completely.

He took a few steps forward and fell to his knees in front of his father with a thud, his voice choked with sobs.

"Ah Weng, the unfilial son Zhao Tuo is back——"

……

However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Just as Zhao Tuo was getting together with his relatives, Han Xin, the newly promoted Jingbian Marquis of Great Qin, finally arrived in Huaiyin.When they heard that Jingbian Hou Han Xin had returned to his hometown, the Huaiyin County Magistrate and Huaiyin Township elders all dispatched ten miles out of the city and waited at the end of the road early in the morning.

This is a big shot from Huaiyin County.

When he went out, he was still a down-and-out young man, but when he came back, he was already a marquis.The speed of its rise is legendary.

This made the county magistrate, village elders and others who came out of the city to greet him very proud.

But not everyone is so proud.

There were two people who felt quite uneasy, namely the Tingting Chang and his wife in Nanchang, who had gone to the countryside with Han Xin.In the past, when Han Xin was down and out, he often went to his house to have a meal.

At the beginning, the director of the Nanchang pavilion was quite polite to him, but Han Xin didn't look cool. He caught a family trying to pluck wool, and went there every now and then, every now and then, for several months in a row. In the end, in the end, The woman who headed the pavilion in Nanchang couldn't bear it anymore.

Knowing that Han Xin was coming to eat again, he cooked the rice early in the morning and ate it in bed.When it was time for dinner, Han Xin arrived on time as expected.

However, the Nanchang pavilion chief and his wife, who were determined to get rid of Han Xin, pretended not to know and let him wait no matter how long they wanted, without preparing any food for him.

As a result, Han Xin became angry and waved his sleeves away, never to eat from his family again.As a result, he almost starved to death after losing his long-term meal ticket as the pavilion chief of Nanchang.

How hungry are you?
Even the old lady washing clothes by the river can see it.I really couldn't stand it, so I provided him with meals for several days in a row...

Anyway, it's quite a miserable man.

The pavilion chief and his wife of Nanchang thought they had finally got rid of a scourge, but who would have thought that this scourge, who only talked about it all day long, would turn around just after leaving Huaiyin.

He became the new Jingbian Marquis of Great Qin!

Who should I talk to to reason with this——

At this time, he and his wife were called by the county magistrate to greet his old friend. However, how could he have any intention of welcoming Han Xin?
He could only hide in the crowd greeting Han Xin anxiously, hoping that Han Xin would never find him.

However, what are you afraid of?

Soon, after Han Xin exchanged a few words with the Huaiyin County magistrate who came to greet him, he discovered the Nanchang pavilion chief and his wife who were hiding among the crowd.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he strode forward.

"Isn't this the face of the Nanchang pavilion chief and his wife? I wonder if the wise couple still remember the old Han Xin who couldn't afford it?"

When the Nanchang pavilion chief and his wife heard this, their hearts suddenly clenched and their clothes were wet with sweat.

"I have met Marquis Jingbian, and I have asked the Lord to pay more attention to him. Don't worry about the offense committed by the young man and his wife..."

Looking at the trembling and uneasy Nanchang Pavilion Chief and his wife in front of him, Han Xin examined them for a moment, then suddenly smiled and waved his hand casually.

"General, I am returning home this time, firstly, to pay homage to my ancestors, and secondly, to pay homage to my relatives and friends. Although you are an out-and-out villain, you do favors for others, but you cannot stick to it, but after all, you are I once provided meals for this general for several days..."

Speaking of this, Han Xin was stunned.

"Don't worry, Xinxin is not a freeloader. I should pay back tenfold for the food I gave you in the past!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and was treated as if he was offering thousands of dollars.

"This should be repaid to you!"

The head of the Nanchang Pavilion became more and more frightened. His wife looked at Han Xin who was no longer what he used to be, and couldn't help but glance at the Qin banliang held by the guard.

I want it, but I don’t dare to reach out.

Han Xin looked down at the couple who had neglected him in the past and shook his head slightly.

He motioned to the guard to send the money over.

At this time, the Huaiyin County Magistrate realized that he had made a mistake.

His eyes fell on him.

For such an important event as welcoming Marquis Jingbian, the county magistrate naturally made great efforts. Not only himself, but also all the officials came out to greet him, and he also summoned all the people who were related to Han Xin and had interacted with him.
Going to the countryside, Nanchang pavilion is long

Speaking of this, Han Xin was stunned.

"Don't worry, Xinxin is not a freeloader. I should pay back tenfold for the food I gave you in the past!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and was treated as if he was offering thousands of dollars.

"This should be repaid to you!"

The head of the Nanchang Pavilion became more and more frightened. His wife looked at Han Xin who was no longer what he used to be, and couldn't help but glance at the Qin banliang held by the guard.

I want it, but I don’t dare to reach out.

Han Xin looked down at the couple who had neglected him in the past and shook his head slightly.

He motioned to the guard to send the money over.

At this time, the Huaiyin County Magistrate realized that he had made a mistake and actually invited the two guys who had offended Han Xin in the past as benefactors...

He quickly stepped forward to remedy the situation.

He walked up to the head of Nanchang Pavilion and scolded him.

"You are a villain if you don't end up doing good deeds! Today, Marquis Jingbian is magnanimous and doesn't care about you. Why don't you hurry over and thank me..."

The head of the Nanchang Pavilion looked ashamed and could not speak.

On the contrary, his wife was quick to see the opportunity.

"Yes, yes, yes, the little woman is short-sighted and caressing about everything. The little woman should go and apologize to the Marquis!"

With that said, he took his man, who was a little unable to hold his head up, and apologized to Han Xin again.As a result, Han Xin waved his hand indifferently.

"That's all, we have settled our grudges, there is no need to be like this..."

Seeing that Han Xin really didn't care anymore, the magistrate of Huaiyin County couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The head of the Nanchang Pavilion also gave up half of his thoughts, but he was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he just took his wife and ran away in despair.
