my grandfather was qin shi huang

Then, he stood at the door and personally sent Wood, Song Wu and other county officials away.

"Your Highness will stay, and I will take my leave——"

Jun Chengtuo and several colleagues walked out of the mansion and turned around to say goodbye to Zhao Ying, Zhang Liang and others.

Zhao Ying smiled and raised his hand in return.

"Everyone, walk slowly..."

Holding his own horse, the governor and several colleagues walked for dozens of steps. Then he looked back at the emperor's grandson who was standing in front of the gate of the governor's house, facing the wind. He seemed to suddenly feel something in his heart, and his tone He said authentically.

"I have always heard that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, is as humble as a valley, courteous to virtuous people, and has the demeanor of a gentleman. When I saw him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. I just felt that he was as majestic as a solitary pine in the mountains, or like a jade tree in the garden. It makes people look up to the mountains, and they can't help but yearn for it. heart of……"

Who is stupid to be able to get into this position? When he said this, everyone felt contempt in their hearts at first, and then began to agree one after another.

"What Brother Tuo said is absolutely true. It is such an honor for us to have the honor to work for the emperor's eldest son..."

It seems that because of drinking some wine, everyone's volume is a little out of control.Not to mention that Zhao Ying's five senses are now different from ordinary people's, even ordinary people can hear it.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the hunchback and others who were arrogantly rubbing their tongues there, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"He's quite an interesting person..."

Returning to his study, Zhao Ying glanced at Zhang Liang thoughtfully.

"What is the background of that county magistrate, and what are his abilities..."

Zhang Liang knew the elegant meaning of the string song after hearing it, and said with a serious expression.

"This man came from the military. He was originally a lieutenant under General Meng Tian. He was transferred to Changsha County Cheng three years ago due to his merit. I heard that after arriving in Changsha County, his performance has been mediocre, but in the past few days with the minister, Among them, he is quite outstanding, he is practical and thoughtful in doing things, and he is also quite scheming and courageous..."

At this point, Zhang Liang considered his words and spoke seriously.

"From Yi Chen's perspective, he seems to be someone who can do things..."

After Zhao Ying heard this, he nodded noncommittally.

He never minds careerists, or the so-called villains who tend to follow the crowd. If such people have the ability, they can sometimes be more useful than gentlemen.If this hunchback is capable and willing to obey, I wouldn't mind giving him a chance.

In fact, Zhao Ying has been looking for candidates to take over the positions of Wood and Song Wu in the past few days.

There is no other way. Recently, Wood and Song Wu have been burdened with blame one after another. It is too dark and too heavy. Once they leave, these two people will be unable to move forward in Changsha County.

I must have a candidate who is both capable and familiar with Changsha County's situation in order to ensure a smooth transition in Changsha County.

However, there is no need to rush to take a stand now, we have to wait and see.

……

News of the banquet at the Sheriff's Mansion quickly spread throughout Changsha County. By the next day, almost everyone knew about the news.

Linjiang Tower.

A young man was blushing and arguing with several companions around him.

"... According to me, those prophecies are simply nonsense. What kind of person is Miss Xu Fu, and what kind of person is Huang Shigong? Huang Shigong and Mr. Guiguzi are both extraordinary people in the world, not to mention their military skills. This skill of fortune-telling alone is unmatched by anyone. If something big happened in Changsha County, how could the two of them stay here and even go to the county governor's house to have a drink with His Highness the Emperor Changsun..."

At this point, the young man burst into flames.

"Therefore, Gu concluded that those messy prophecies must be nonsense. Since tomorrow is the twelfth lunar month, if you don't believe it, you might as well wait and see if the sky is really falling and the Xiang River is flowing backward..."

Perhaps this prophecy is indeed a bit outrageous.

Not to mention the young man surnamed Gu, even the other few people have no intention of arguing. Who doesn't hope that this prophecy is false? With natural disasters such as the backflow of the Xiang River, everyone in the entire Changsha County will say, No one can escape.

But it is unrealistic to say that I don’t feel a little uneasy in my heart.

The theory of ghosts and gods has been deeply rooted in people's hearts in Da Qin, not to mention that this is Chu land where ghosts are very popular in Wushen Mountain?

Suddenly there are so many prophecies full of ghosts and ghosts, who is not confused?
In fact, people have been panicking in the past few days, and many people have tried to move out. However, because the government has blocked the roads and there is no talisman issued by the government, they can only endure it in fear.

"Regardless of whether he is true or not, people like the emperor's eldest grandson and Huang Shigong did not run away anyway. What do we, the country folk, have to fear? At worst, we will end together..."

Someone cursed under the influence of alcohol, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and changed the subject.

"Everyone said that if nothing happens this time, would we have a chance to worship that Huang Shigong..."

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at the young man named Gu who had just spoken.

"Brother Gu, you have a bright future. Do you have the opportunity to lead us to meet Mr. Huang Shi..."

This is almost a wishful thinking.

However, who can remain indifferent when faced with such an opportunity?Sometimes, for many things, you have to think about it first, and then it becomes possible. Before you try, who can say that there is no hope.

No one noticed that the discussion about the prophecy in Changsha County had inexplicably changed its direction since I don’t know when. The original panic and restlessness situation has improved slightly...

At least, there are obviously fewer people who want to escape Changsha County at night.

The first day of the twelfth lunar month.

The weather in Changsha County is clear and clear.

The rising sun is as bright as ever.

Everyone waited eagerly until midnight, but they didn't see the sky falling to the southeast, the ground sinking to the northwest, or the bullshit Xiangshui flowing back.

Everyone was safe and sound, and lived another day peacefully!
fine!

At this time, there was no need for Zhao Ying to do any more tricks or guidance. The entire public opinion trend had begun to change irreversibly.

Many people have "suddenly realized" and started to change from one extreme to another. Countless people jumped to curse the thieves who were making trouble and spreading rumors. They began to believe in the actions of the government and those prophecies one after another. It was the conspiracy of the captured thieves. "Bah, you bastards. These people are not human beings. They must be trying to scare us away, and then take advantage of the opportunity to buy our houses and shops at low prices..."

"Now that I look back and think about it, it seems like that's really what happened - ugh, these people are so shameless. It's a shame that they all claimed to be a good family in the past..."

With the rise of public opinion, the entire trend has completely changed.

No one would sympathize with the local wealthy families whose homes were confiscated. If officers and soldiers hadn't stopped them, they would have even wanted to spit on them and then kick them hard.

It can be expected that even if these people can get away with it, they will never think of being their own local emperors like they used to.

At the same time, with the efforts of various county governments, a large number of local wealthy families were arrested!
The crime is to spread prophecies with the intention of subverting the country.

This is a serious crime that can kill someone!
However, county governments everywhere became ruthless. They almost all followed the deadline ordered by Emperor Changsun and turned in the "evidence" they found, turning the case into a solid case.

Nine counties, a total of thirty local wealthy families, are involved!
The case was handed over to the governor of Jiangnan, the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying. The emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying took the scroll and sighed in public. He looked around at the county officials and county magistrates and sighed.

"I heard that the people below are starting to cause chaos because of the lack of virtue of the superiors. When Gu first arrived in Changsha, he lacked kindness and showed no mercy. This is why so many of them committed crimes in an attempt to disrupt the situation and serve against the enemy. It is Gu's fault that the thief covers up. How can the innocent be punished because of Gu's fault? I beg you to forgive their sins..."

Sheriff Wood stepped out of the queue with pride and bowed.

"Everyone knows that His Highness is benevolent and loves the people and cannot tolerate the thought of killing. However, the law is the foundation for the stability of the country. With this, the people know what they should do and what they should stop. How can they be affected by His Highness' benevolence? Abandon the law? If so, it is the beginning of cholera. Please take back the law..."

As soon as Wood finished speaking, county officials came out to echo him.

"Your Highness, please take back your order..."

Zhao Ying had no choice but to look back at Zhang Liang, the prime minister, with tears in his eyes.

"God is so merciful that he can't bear to let Changsha County become a river of blood. Sir, I have always been considerate and familiar with the law. But if there is any way to save their lives without harming the law, can you teach me..."

Zhang Liang pondered for a long time before saying this.

"If His Highness really has mercy on them and is willing to give them a chance to live, maybe he can let them plead guilty and perform meritorious service, turn over all the family property, and use the whole family to fill the frontier..."

The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, wanted to get some money for these families as a capital to settle down in the new land, but he failed.

However, the emperor Sun Renhou could not bear to see them displaced and died on the way to migration and exile, so he allocated part of his personal money and food for their use.

"Your Highness's kindness is really a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people——"

The county magistrate was filled with emotions.

Soon, this incident spread throughout Changsha County, and then spread to the nine counties of Changsha County with the return of the county magistrates and county captains.

Although he became a criminal overnight, his family property was confiscated, and his entire family was exiled to the frontier, it was a blessing among misfortunes to get this result.

Except for some of these people who were moved and exiled to places such as Xiang County to populate southern Xinjiang, most of them were moved and exiled to Hexi County and the three newly established grassland counties.

For this reason, the emperor's eldest grandson specifically promised that these relocated families could take his ships to go north.

Even so, this migration lasted for seven full days.

Because these families are all local wealthy families, with hundreds or thousands of people at every turn. Even with Zhao Ying's permission and the use of navy, it would be difficult to arrange all of them in a short while.

Naturally, Zhao Ying does not need to pay personal attention to this issue.

The county lieutenant Song Wu, the county prime minister Tuo, who has been favored by him recently, and the three thousand imperial guards under him are enough to deal with it. It is worth mentioning that because of this, those who finally got together again and hid in Yunmengze The bandits were suppressed again and dispersed again...

It can be regarded as an unnecessary disaster.

As for Zhao Ying, during this period, he was personally watching the aftermath in Changsha County.

More than a dozen wealthy families that occupied hundreds of times in Changsha were confiscated and exterminated, and dozens of local wealthy families were moved and exiled. It's okay to say that the frivolous wealth, except for a very small part that needs to be left to the local government for turnover, the rest is a large number of houses and shops. All other assets need to be properly handled.

Under the personal auspices of the emperor's grandson Zhao Ying, countless fertile fields were distributed free of charge to farmers who had no land or little land. A large number of fields and houses were also given on credit and paid in installments with grain, almost as if they were given away for free. They were distributed to the lowest level people who did not even have a sheltered house.

The reason why we don't give it away directly is because we are afraid that it will be too easy to get, which will make these people inert.

As for shops and workshops, it's even more troublesome.

Some workshops can also be merged into government workshops and become official assets.But the shop is different. It is useless for the government to hold it in its own hands and can only be sold to local governments.But Zhao Ying didn't want to have just eliminated some wealthy families and personally supported some wealthy families, so he still needed to do another screening among these merchants or local powerful people who were willing and able to buy.

Therefore, this work was finally completed, and it took Zhao Ying more than half a month to finally come to an end.

On the 37th day of the twelfth lunar month in the [-]th year of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, His Highness the Emperor Changsun, who had stayed in Changsha County for nearly a month, set off again. The next stop was Lujiang County!
On this day, countless people came in droves.

Especially those people who were allotted land and houses for free during this turmoil spontaneously came to see off His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

On both sides of the wide street, countless people knelt on the ground.

Several village elders with gray beards and several young men, leaning on crutches, stepped forward tremblingly and stopped Zhao Ying's carriage and horses.Upon seeing this, Zhao Ying quickly jumped out of the carriage and personally helped the old people who came to see them off.

"My husband must never do this..."

The old men then stood still, turned around and motioned to the young men behind them to come forward, and then slowly opened the things they were holding in their hands. Only then did Zhao Ying realize that it turned out to be a Ten Thousand People Umbrella!

He glanced at Zhang Liang, who was pretending to be fine, and then looked at the old men in surprise.

"I dare to ask my husband, what does this mean..."

"Your Highness is kind-hearted and virtuous, stabilizing the place and benefiting the people. We, the humble people, can't express our feelings in thousands of words. We only hate our own poor fortune and cannot allow His Highness to stay here to bathe in His grace. Therefore, we personally express our feelings to all the townsmen. We raised money and jointly made this Umbrella of All Peoples to show that we would not forget to bathe in His Highness’ kindness..."

Zhao Ying heard this and thanked him again and again.

"What virtues and abilities does this young man have to win the respect of all the villagers..."

Several elders seeing him off and the people on both sides insisted again and again, and Zhao Ying reluctantly accepted. (End of chapter)
