my grandfather was qin shi huang

In the southern suburbs of Changsha County, when an old farmer was renovating a house, he found a stone with an inscription in the foundation, which read: "At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the First Emperor died, the sky fell to the southeast, the earth collapsed to the northwest, mountains and rivers changed course, and the Xiang River flowed backwards."

Compared with the news on the silk book in the belly of the fish, the things predicted on this stone tablet are more shocking and more specific. It not only points out the time of the death of the First Emperor, but also involves Changsha.

The Xiang River flows backward!

The news spread rapidly like a plague. Before the nearby corps commanders and district chiefs could report the news, the news spread throughout the city like a whirlwind.

County Sheriff's Office.

The Changsha County official who had just handled the assassination case of the emperor's grandson and cleared himself of suspicion suddenly changed his face when he heard the news.

Sheriff Wood's hand trembled, and several strands of his already sparse beard were pulled out. Lieutenant Song Wu almost poured a cup of hot tea into his crotch.

"Quick, where is it?"

He jumped up on the spot, grabbed the sword, turned around and left.

"Quickly, prepare horses for me, notify the county soldiers, and immediately surround the southern suburbs!"

As Song Wu walked, he shouted angrily and ordered.

"I'm keeping a close eye on everything. Even if it's a mouse, I can't let it out!"

If this kind of thing happened in the area under their jurisdiction, it goes without saying that they all had something to do with it, especially him, the county lieutenant responsible for coordinating local security, who was the first to bear the brunt.

Wood also ran out in a hurry, giving quick orders to everyone around him as he ran.

"Quickly—go to Laowangzhuang in the west of the city to inform His Highness the Emperor Changsun!"

This kind of thing cannot be suppressed, and there is no way to suppress it. Even though there is no mobile phone network in this era, the spread of gossip cannot be measured by common sense. It is no less than that of later generations. What's more, this rumor covers it perfectly. All the key points that can spread quickly are stirred up everyone's sensitive nerves.

……

To the west of the city, Laowangzhuang.

Although the winter in Changsha County is much warmer than that in the north, the north wind blows in the face, which still makes it feel a bit cold. However, Zhao Ying, the tall emperor's eldest grandson, seems not to have noticed. He is squatting on the field with his trouser legs rolled up, asking the responsible person. The local farmer who works in this area and several experienced farmers in the village teach the experience of growing rice.

"...Growing rice, especially these Champa rice, requires frequent watering to maintain the humidity in the field, but you must be careful not to water too frequently or too much, otherwise, I am afraid it will affect these The growth of rice…”

As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the sky, grabbed a handful of soil with his own hands, crushed it carefully in his palm, and showed it to several people.

"Did you see it? This loose, moist and non-clumpy state is the best..."

To teach these old farmers, simply preaching a hundred times is not as good as going to the fields and teaching them step by step.

Sure enough, when Zhao Ying said this, everyone followed him, each grabbed a handful of soil, twisted it, and smelled it. There was even an old farmer who stuck out his tongue and licked it, and immediately understood the soil that Emperor Changsun was talking about. What does humidity mean and to what extent it needs to be maintained.

In fact, at first, everyone was a little disapproving of the so-called emperor's eldest grandson personally coming to guide everyone in farming, thinking that he was just here to show off.

But soon, they were restrained by the emperor's eldest grandson.

Because as soon as people get started, they can see that unlike those boastful Shangguan officials in the past, this His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is really accomplished!
In fact, Zhao Ying learned these experiences from his father in his previous life.

Originally a child from the countryside, how could he be spared from farm work?

During the weekend holidays, I often worked in the fields.In addition, his memory is now super strong, and his memories of past lives are becoming clearer. Even the books related to farming that he has read in the past, and the daily exchanges between his parents and fellow villagers are all clear. Therefore, he is really The words are meaningful and can really say something beyond this era.

Nowadays, these experienced rural misfits and farmers have regarded the words of the emperor's eldest grandson as if they were gods.Everyone had their ears pricked up, fearing that they would miss any message from His Highness the Emperor Changsun.

"These rices require different measures at different stages. Pay attention to the timing of fertilization I told you earlier. This kind of rice looks simple, but it is actually a delicate job. If you pay attention to it, it will be right. Let’s be considerate and give us more food…”

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but twitching his brows and turning his head to look at the end of the road.

I saw a fast horse, galloping towards this side with lightning speed.At this time, even the country man and the old farmers discovered this situation and stood up in surprise.

"Your Highness, urgent report from the south of the city——"

The official on the horse stopped the horse from a distance, jumped off the horse, and saluted Zhao Ying.Zhao Ying patted the dirt on his hands, smiled apologetically at the country man and several old farmers beside him, and then turned to look at the county official who was walking quickly.

"What's the matter, so alarmed..."

At this time, several soldiers scattered around had surrounded him and stood between him and His Highness the Emperor Changsun without leaving a trace.The official glanced at the guards beside Zhao Ying and stopped at the perimeter very wisely.

"Your Highness..."

He subconsciously glanced at the country man and several old farmers beside Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying waved his hand.

"Say it, it doesn't matter..."

The official then said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, a villager in the southern suburbs of the city found a stone tablet from the foundation when they were renovating their house. There was something written on it. It was related to your Majesty. The county guard and the county lieutenant did not dare to neglect, and they had already rushed there with their people. I specifically asked the official to come and report to His Highness..."

Zhao Ying frowned slightly, then turned around and smiled gently at the village stingy man and several honest-looking old farmers.

"That's it for today. When I have free time another day, I'll come over and ask you for advice..."

"Don't dare. Just go on your own, Your Highness. I will definitely remember His Highness's teachings and pass on these valuable experiences to the farmers in the village in the next few days..."

The rural misfits and village elders of the Qin Dynasty had a strong say in farming.How to plant, what to plant, and even the spacing between rows are clearly defined, truly achieving standardized production.

Under this system, promoting a new technology is simply not very efficient.

Zhao Ying then nodded with a smile and jumped on his mount.

"go!"

……

Seeing His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, protected by the soldiers, go away like a gust of wind, the country man couldn't help but look around at the old farmers around him and said with emotion.

"How can there be such an emperor's grandson in this world? Not only is he proficient in farming, but he is also willing to practice it personally. He personally goes to the fields to teach us country folk, barefooted in such a cold weather, without any sign of reluctance..."

Those old farmers, of course, could not say anything as good as those who came from the countryside, but they also had a strong sense in their hearts. They knew who really respected them and thought about themselves, and they also knew who kept loving and caring for the people and working for them. Welfare, but never regard the people as human beings.

"Sanwazi and the others fought against the Qin people back then. We, the Chu State, were defeated unjustly..."

In the silence, I don't know who held back such a sentence, and everyone fell silent for an instant. …

When Zhao Ying arrived at the southern suburbs of Changsha County, County Sheriff Wood and County Lieutenant Song Wu had already personally led people to blockade the entire village. The family that had renovated their house was even surrounded by county soldiers, and several helpers The villagers were detained in the yard by county soldiers with swords and guns.

The owner of the house was almost frightened.

He never dreamed that one day he would see so many high officials, and even His Highness the Emperor's Grandson rushed to his home in person.

"This servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson——"

Seeing Zhao Ying come in, the owner of the house softened his legs and fell to his knees.

"There is no need to worry or be afraid, old man. I am here this time just to find out the situation. After we find out the situation later, we will leave immediately. If we cause any loss to you, we will compensate you according to the price..."

Zhao Ying stepped forward with a gentle attitude and personally helped the old man in front of him up.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare..."

The old man seemed to be comforted by Zhao Ying's gentle attitude. Although he was still nervous, he could speak smoothly.Zhao Ying then smiled and said.

"Old man, tell me what happened at that time, who discovered this stone tablet first, and did you notice any abnormalities at that time..."

The group of vicious officials had already asked these questions once before, so the answers seemed to be much smoother this time.

"The child discovered it first. It is said that nothing unusual was found at that time..."

"Aweng, it seems that the soil in that place is stronger than in other places..."

At this moment, a young junior who was being watched aside suddenly interrupted and added.Wood couldn't help his eyebrows twitching, and scolded him with an unkind expression.

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important situation earlier?"

The young man seemed to be frightened by Wood, he said calmly.

"I was scared just now, forgot, forgot..."

Wood:…

Zhao Ying couldn't help but frown, and glanced at Wood with an unhappy expression.Wood suddenly realized that what he had just done had made the emperor's eldest grandson, who was known to be close to the people, a little unhappy. He couldn't help but smile and try to make amends for himself.

"It's a very important matter, and I'm a little anxious for a moment..."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly, but did not dwell on this small problem.After all, officials are officials, and people are people. Even in later generations, it is difficult to have any real treatment, let alone this is Da Qin.

Even if he forces them to be kind to the people under their rule, it will be of no use. It may even be counterproductive. Once he leaves, it will become even worse.

Zhao Ying personally inspected the scene and asked a few questions in person. After confirming that there were no problems with the villagers, he immediately ordered Sheriff Wood, Sheriff Song Wu and others to lift the martial law in Nancheng, and then took the people back.

Before leaving, Zhang Liang left several hundred large sums of money to the owner of the house.

"This has disturbed my father-in-law and all the neighbors. These rights should be used as an apology to my father-in-law..."

How could the father-in-law's family dare to accept Zhao Ying's money, not even Dao? This was a big shot who even obeyed the orders of the county guard and the county lieutenant.Zhao Ying knew what he was thinking, so he didn't explain much. He smiled, waved his hand, and left with Zhang Liang and his soldiers.

It was only at this time that the homeowner and his family woke up from a dream.

Looking at the pile of heavy copper coins in the dustpan beside the yard, I almost couldn't believe my eyes.

The emperor's eldest grandson was actually apologizing for disturbing the villagers like him and left so much money?

At this time, the group of neighbors who came to help couldn't help but gather around and marvel at the pile of copper coins.

"Old man Wei, you are really lucky. Not only are you fine this time, but you also got so much reward money. I'm afraid you don't even have enough money to build a new house..."

The owner of this room, whom the neighbors called Old Man Wei, pinched his thigh and came to his senses completely.

"I've made all the noble neighbors feel wronged——"

Having said this, he looked at his youngest son aside.

"Three, you take some money and go to the butcher Jin's house in the village to buy some meat, and then go to Widow Wang's house to buy two kilograms of rice wine. Tonight, the old man wants to thank all of you for your kindness..."

As soon as Old Man Wei's words came out, there was a burst of laughter and joking in the yard.

Occasionally you can still hear such words.

"I didn't expect that the emperor's eldest grandson was so reasonable and had no airs at all..."

"This is the first time for the old man to see such a big person - hey, the emperor's eldest grandson nodded to me just now..."

"..."

It is not as good as seeing someone in person once if others spread bad words about Qin people a thousand times.

This is precisely Zhao Ying's original intention.

He admitted that along the way, he had a clear intention of showing off, and wanted to take this opportunity to leave an impression of being humble, courteous, benevolent and loving to the people of Chu.

But I do have the intention to do something practical for the people.

The land is not divided into north and south, and the people are not divided into Qin and Chu.

These are the people under the rule of Da Qin, and they are also the foundation of Da Qin's future.If the emperor's eldest grandson himself is prejudiced, then there is no need to expect the officials in those places to be able to hold a bowl of water evenly.

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Sheriff Wood and Lieutenant Song Wu, who thought they were unlucky, came hand in hand. They anxiously came in person to apologize to His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

After all, under their rule, such problems have repeatedly occurred, and they will definitely be accused of poor governance.If it was more serious, even if the emperor's grandson reprimanded them on the spot in front of the county officials, or took this opportunity to capture them directly, they would have nothing to say.

Unexpectedly, just when they were uneasy and didn't know what kind of punishment they would be punished, they heard the gentle voice of His Highness the Emperor Changsun in their ears.

"You two should be equal -"

Zhao Ying looked at them with a calm expression and no emotion or anger in his eyes.

"You two are in charge of Changsha, but things are happening frequently under your rule. First, there were silk books in the belly of a fish, creating rumors, and then someone assassinated me, the eldest grandson of the current emperor, in the street. Now, there is a stone tablet like this, misleading the public, and making false claims about His Majesty's life and death. , you are indeed to blame, but since you are quite diligent in your work, I will give you another chance to make meritorious deeds..."
