my grandfather was qin shi huang

But even if he scolded him, he didn't dare to be really listened to. He could only hide among the bandits from Jinji Mountain and secretly have a good time.

Although there was a small accident in Bajun, which delayed his trip for a few days, Zhao Ying was not without gains.

In addition to capturing nearly one million worth of property from Peng Yue, the other groups of bandits also made small gains, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Zhao Ying immediately decided to use part of the money to open a charity hall in Bajun.

Following the example of places such as Changsha and Nanjun, on the basis of the school rooms in each county, we have joined forces with Daqin storytellers from all over the country to continue to promote free education. Anyone in Bajun who is willing to study can receive a copy of the textbook with their household registration information!
  As for the teaching materials, I will temporarily use the simple teaching materials compiled by Fan Zeng, Xiu Yuniu and others. It is not thick, but a very thin booklet. Although the above is only the most basic arithmetic and the most common words, and there are even some articles that make many wealthy families in Bajun frown, but that is knowledge that no one can ask for!

Not only that, students from poor families can also receive a free bowl of thick rice porridge with a piece of pickled vegetables at noon.

These things will definitely not fill you up, but they can fill your stomach and keep you from being hungry. Children from rich families are naturally dismissive of it, but for those poor people who cannot afford it, this bowl of sticky rice porridge is really attractive!
  What's more, it is still the twelfth lunar month of winter, a time of drought. Many families have reached the bottom of their rice tanks, so this portion of food is particularly important.

As for the school building——

If you are so poor that you can’t even afford food, what kind of school building do you need?
  Having a book to read and a bowl of porridge to eat are gifts that are unimaginable!

I would like to ask, in the hundreds of years before the Chu Dynasty, had there ever been such a kind government that benefited the people?
  In any village, find a place with the wind and sunshine, pull out a blackboard and get a few boxes of chalk, and it will be a place for teaching students to read. As for the students, take a branch and level a piece of land under their feet, and that will be pen and ink. .

Simple, really simple to the extreme.

But having it is better than nothing.

It’s all hard, haha, who would be demanding that?
  But even so, Xunda, the governor of Bajun, and Chengli, the governor of Bajun, were also worried.

"Your Highness, it is a blessing for the head of Guizhou in the world to be kind and loving to the people. However, if this charity hall continues, the amount of money and food consumed every day will not be a small amount. From now on, our money and food..."

After saying that, Xunda couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying with a wry smile.

Charity Hall is a good government project in Ba County funded by the emperor's eldest grandson, but the problem is that after the emperor's eldest grandson leaves, who will be responsible for the remaining money and food? Will the imperial court allocate this amount of money? If so, how much can it allocate?
  Once this charity hall cannot survive in my own hands...

Then it is true that the good people are all the Emperor's grandson, and the bad people are all the county guard.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he understood what the two people meant and couldn't help but laugh.

"You two don't have to worry about this. We have already formed our own model in this charity hall. I will leave some industry here and run a few handicraft workshops. The money I can earn will not only maintain the basic operation of the workshop and expand production. In addition, all the remaining money will be invested in the Charity Hall to maintain the operations of the Charity Hall..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying paused slightly, glanced at Xunda seemingly casually, and added with a smile.

"I'll have someone from the palace come over later to deal with this matter specifically. I hope the county magistrate can make it easier..."

As soon as he heard that Qianliang would be dedicated to doing this in the future, Xunda couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He never thought about who was responsible for the charity hall and workshop.

"So, that's really great!"

Having said this, Xunda almost assured with a pat on his chest.

"Your Highness, just rest assured. From now on, this charity hall and your Highness's businesses will be properly taken care of by your subordinates. If there is any problem, just ask someone from your house to come to me..."

Zhao Ying smiled and cupped his hands.

"Then I would like to thank Governor Xun..."

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Even if he is the emperor's eldest grandson, if the local officials in Ba County do not cooperate, this charity hall that has high hopes for him will be difficult and very passive.

Although he was only passing through Bajun, this time, Zhao Ying did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stayed outside Bajun for a few more days.

During this period, he personally summoned county magistrates, school teachers, and storytellers from Bajun to implement the charity hall and free promotion of education and Henan opera.

I also personally visited the nearby counties to investigate and confirm the subordinate workshops of Charity Hall here and the layout of related businesses.

Bajun is rich in natural resources. It not only produces ginger, gardenia and other specialties, but also has abundant reserves of cinnabar, copper, iron, elixir, and lacquer. However, Zhao Ying finally set his sights on silk, tung oil, and ordinary bamboo and wood utensils. superior.

Now that the Western Region has opened, Mobei has also become the three counties of Mobei. The demand for silk, porcelain and tea has surged. Choosing silk can ensure sufficient benefits for the charity hall.

As for tung oil, in this era, it is almost an irreplaceable strategic resource. For this business, Zhao Ying is not even planning to make money, but is preparing it as a strategic reserve.

As for why we choose utensils made of bamboo and wood, in addition to the fact that bamboo can be found everywhere in Bajun, with rich resources and low prices, it is mainly because it is a labor-intensive industry, and the production method is very flexible and can be concentrated in workshops. You can take it home and process it yourself.

It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, what matters is that you can help the poor!

Throughout the ages, the method of winning people's hearts has been very simple, which is to let the people see real benefits.

When the people of Chu discovered that they could live a good life by following the Qin people, that their wives could wear nice clothes, and that their children would be well-fed, even if you forced them to rebel with a knife, it would still be a waste. It may not have any effect.

This is also one of Zhao Ying's most original motivations.

After Zhao Ying took Zhang Liang and did all this in person, he led the army Shi Shirandi to leave Bajun and go to Lujiang County.

The governor of Bajun Xunda brought all the officials in the county and sent them ten miles outside the city in person. Then he stopped at a pavilion by the roadside and said goodbye to Zhao Ying.

"Your Highness, take care of yourself all the way!"

Zhao Ying smiled and took the wine glass from Xunda's hand, drank it down in one gulp, then looked around at Xunda and the county officials, and cupped his hands.

"Everyone, stay here and say goodbye..."

Then he turned around and mounted his horse, ready to set off. However, at this moment, his ears suddenly twitched slightly, and he turned his head in surprise to look in the direction he came from.

At this time, the officials in Bajun also noticed something strange about Zhao Ying. They followed his gaze with some curiosity and saw several figures, supporting each other, hurriedly along the road they came from. Running towards this side.

While running, he was waving his arms in this direction.

Unconsciously, their expressions changed slightly, and many people even touched the swords at their waists. When Zhao Ying saw this, he couldn't help but smile, waved his hands, and jumped off the horse again.

"Everyone, there is no need to be nervous. The people here are just a few old friends with me..." After saying that, he walked straight towards the direction of the incoming person.

Seeing Zhao Ying's actions, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

I thought that His Highness the Emperor Changsun had met some great people in Ba County, so they all hurriedly followed him. The other party came very quickly, and soon he could see his figure clearly.

It was not until this time that they discovered that there were seven people on the other side. Three of them had white beards and white hair and were leaning on crutches. They were already old men in their sixties or seventies, while the remaining four were wearing short coats of coarse cloth. The honest-looking man looked at these people in front of him. His eyes were evasive in front of him and others, and he looked guilty and cowardly. They were clearly a group of rural farmers!

Where is the slightest hint of mastery?

The eyes of Xunda and others couldn't help but fall on the hands of these newcomers. Except for the three old men on crutches, the other four farmers were actually holding things in their hands. Some were carrying a basket covered with linen, and some were simply carrying an old hen.

A bold idea suddenly arose in their hearts.

Did you come here specially to see off His Royal Highness the Emperor?
  At this moment, Zhao Ying had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and apologized from a distance.

"Ying left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to you. I didn't expect that you would come to see me off in person after all the hard work. I'm really ashamed, so ashamed -"

The people who came were none other than the village elders and farmers he met when he was guiding the local people in fertilizing and farming in the fields. Unexpectedly, they got the news today and came all the way to see him off. .

"I don't dare to be a courtesy to His Highness——"

Upon seeing this, several old men and men hurriedly returned the greetings, and all of them looked frightened and did not even dare to say anything. In the end, the oldest villager came up with a cane and cupped his hands towards Zhao Ying.

"You little man, I have received His Highness' favor and have nothing to repay, so I came here to see His Highness off..."

Zhao Ying stepped forward and supported the old man's arm.

"Old man, why are you so polite? As the eldest grandson of the emperor, I will patrol the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of your majesty. It is also my duty to leave the land to you for planting and fertilizing. Is there anything to say about being kind or not? If you really want to thank me, just cooperate with the county officials. , promote these technologies as soon as possible, so that all our farmers in Ba County can learn this skill as soon as possible..."

The old man and the few people behind him bowed and saluted with sincere expressions after hearing this.

"A villain must not dare to disappoint His Highness's trust!"

After saying that, he hurriedly tried to stuff the things he was carrying into Zhao Ying's hands.

"Your Highness, we know that you are a noble man from Tianhuang and you will not be short of these worthless things, but we have no way to repay His Highness's kindness. These are just our insignificant thoughts..."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Ying in front of him with a worried expression.

At this time, Zhao Ying was different from the emperor's eldest grandson who they had met a few days ago, who was wearing coarse clothes and rolled up his trouser legs. He worked in the fields personally regardless of the soil or even livestock excrement, and guided them to fertilize and cultivate the land.

Wearing an extremely luxurious robe, wrapped with a broad band embroidered with gold-rimmed cloud patterns, a long sword hung on his waist, and a round jade pendant hung on the other side. Standing there, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, with a kind of Indescribable dignity.

This change made their hands holding the gifts feel a little unable to reach out. Seeing them feeling awkward and uneasy in front of him, Zhao Ying smiled gently and held his hands.

"Thank you very much. The gift of goose feathers sent from thousands of miles away is a small gift. The fact that these elders can come to Ying is already a sign of deep affection. Ying You'an dares to despise..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands unceremoniously, took what they were carrying, and then turned around and handed it to Zhang Liang beside him.

Zhang Liang: ...

He was carrying a basket of eggs here and two fluttering old hens there. The smell of chicken feces assaulted his nostrils, and his whole face was almost turning green.

Fortunately, there was someone smart behind, so no one needed to greet him. Wang Laosi quickly walked a few steps, followed up, nodded and helped Zhang Liang take the things over.

Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly to him.

This made Wang Laosi suddenly lose two kilograms of weight.

Looking at this guy's shameless behavior, Peng Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and then turned his head away from looking at him.

This piece of shit is so embarrassing to the people of Jinji Mountain!
  However, there are also many people who regret it. If they were so shameless just now, wouldn't they also get such an opportunity to show their kindness to Zhang Fucheng?

That's Zhang Fucheng!
  His Royal Highness the Emperor’s most trusted confidant...

Zhao Ying naturally didn't know the little thoughts of these people behind him. He took a few village elders and encouraged them with gentle words. He also told Xunda and others to send these people away when they went back. Go back and then get up to say goodbye.

It wasn't until Zhao Ying's team arrived that several village elders and men who came specially to see Zhao Ying off finally reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

As Chu people, they originally had no good impressions of Qin people.

But with such an emperor's eldest grandson, they really had nothing to say. History is like a sieve, and people's hearts are like scales. Although they have little culture and little knowledge, they know who is really good to them and who is really doing things for the people at the bottom like themselves.

Although they repeatedly thanked them, the county officials, who received personal instructions from the emperor's eldest grandson, still drove a carriage and sent the few people back to their village.

When several people helped each other out of the carriage and wanted to say goodbye and leave, the clerk who came to see them off stopped them.

"What are your orders..."

Several village elders and farmers looked back with some uneasiness at the county officials who came to see them off.

But they saw the clerk smiling at them very friendly, then turned around, stretched out his hand, and took out a rather delicate package from the carriage on the side.

"It's good luck for you that you have gained the respect of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."

The clerk who came to deliver the package sighed, and then handed the package over to the oldest village veteran. Seeing that the old man looked at the package in his hand with some confusion, the county official smiled and explained.

"His Highness has accepted your gifts. This is the return gift His Highness has specially prepared for you just now. Please don't refuse..."

Several men from the countryside suddenly burst into tears as they held Zhao Ying's return gift. Turning back towards the direction Zhao Ying left, he knelt down and refused to get up for a long time. (End of chapter)
