my grandfather was qin shi huang

Seeing Zhao Ying's reaction, Jian Yong couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the emperor's eldest grandson would be unkind.

That's good.

"Your Highness, although I have never met Your Highness, I often hear rumors about His Highness in Zhang County, and I yearn for it. I have long wanted to visit you in person, but I regret not having the chance, but I never thought that I could meet here today. I am really overjoyed. …”

Jian Yong is fair and fat, and he speaks very nicely. He raised his wine glass with a cheerful face and stepped forward to toast.

"Your Highness, drink and win——"

Zhao Ying smiled and stood up to return the greeting.

"Jian County Sheriff, drink and win——"

County Governor Jian Yong even stood up to toast in person, and County Lieutenant Chen Liao naturally could not stay behind. With the guidance of these two superiors, other officials in the county did not need any hint, and stood up one after another, preparing to toast the emperor's eldest grandson.

Zhao Ying smiled, picked up the wine glass, and looked around at everyone.

"You gentlemen, you are serving as pastors for the imperial court, advising on farming and mulberry cultivation, and educating the people. You are all meritorious ministers of our great Qin. This glass of water and wine should be my tribute to you. Come on, gentlemen, have a drink -"

"Drinking wins——"

Everyone, including Jian Yong and Chen Liao, raised their glasses in response.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively.

Led by Jian Yong, a group of people talked about the ingenious farm tools of the emperor's eldest grandson, about the emperor's eldest grandson's great achievements in sweeping across Mobei and conquering the Yueshi, about the emperor's eldest grandson's benevolence and love, and about the emperor's eldest grandson's talent...

Zhao Ying received countless compliments and flattery.

Dizzy.

No wonder so many people like to flatter others. The feeling of being praised by everyone is not bad at all.

Zhao Ying waved his hands humbly and said that the princes were overly complimentary, while showing a very happy and contented look.

As a result, more and more enthusiastic praise came.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet until Zhao Ying was drunk and dizzy. Seeing that he was already a bit tipsy, the banquet ended at Zhao Ying's suggestion.

After a drink, the county guard Jian Yong seemed to have become Zhao Ying's close and confidant good friend.

After the banquet was over, Zhao Ying was sent all the way back to the cross-yard where he stayed, and then he took Zhao Ying's hand and spoke in a drunken manner with his tongue hanging out.

"Your Highness, you have been working hard all the way, how can you do it without a few caring people around you? When I heard that Your Highness was coming, I specially asked someone to carefully select several singers. They are all young and beautiful, and they can serve others. Later, Just have someone send it over to take care of His Highness’s daily life…”

Zhao Ying waved his hand with a smile, and then pointed his eyes at the lady not far away who was wearing men's clothes and coming out of the yard to greet her.

What's going on when I enter the city today and people see the emperor's eldest grandson traveling with his female family members?

Therefore, when I usually go out, I will prepare a pair of men's clothes for my grandmother.

However, if a person is good-looking, then she will look good in whatever she wears. The clothes that were originally quite powerful gave her a somewhat swaying look, especially the black outfit, which made her skin look more delicate and smooth. .

Under the moonlight, there is a different kind of charm when you look at it.

Jian Yong was a little puzzled by Zhao Ying's eyes at first, but after following his gaze, he immediately felt his anus tighten, took a breath, and quickly let go of Zhao Ying's big hand.

His Highness’s taste is a bit strong!

"Ahem, cough, cough - Your Highness, I will retire first, I will retire first..."

After saying that, he almost ran away.

Zhao Ying was quite surprised, thinking that this guy just had a bad stomach.

"Your Highness, why did you drink so much——"

The woman wrinkled her nose in disgust, and then tried to reach out to help Zhao Ying's arm, but the height of the two of them was too big, and she couldn't hold him up at all. Instead, she watched from a distance, hanging on Zhao Ying's arm with her. Same on the arm.

“Your Highness, this is the hangover soup sent to you by the kitchen—”

When A'nu put Zhao Ying on the bed, she turned around and brought Zhao Ying the sobering soup on the side. When she was hesitating whether to feed Zhao Ying to drink it, she suddenly stared at her beautiful big eyes and stopped what she was doing. action.

At this time, the emperor's eldest grandson, who was sitting next to the bed, had clear eyes. Is there any trace of drunkenness in his eyes?

"You're not drunk?"

Zhao Ying shook his head seriously.

"No, I'm drunk-"

Aunt:......

The emperor's eldest grandson is teasing him again!

He let out an annoyed snarl, turned around and walked away. His charming little appearance made Zhao Ying's heart skip a beat, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's arm out of nowhere.

"Stay with me tonight—"

The girl's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but then she remembered Wang Nan's instructions before leaving, and the heart-warming words Xu Fu had said to her in the past few days.

His body slowly relaxed, and he was half pushed and half pulled into Zhao Ying's arms.

His eyelashes fluttered lightly, and his face was covered with red clouds, like a frightened little rabbit. Zhao Ying, who had not been around women for several months, couldn't help but feel more and more passionate, and he had the desire to gallop forward.

The curtain was roughly pulled down by big hands.

"Your Highness..."

The moonlight was hazy, the green trees were swaying, and mottled tree shadows were screened in front of the window. Unknowingly, the time had entered the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the spring of Daqin had arrived.

The next day, when Jian Yong personally came to invite Zhao Ying to the front hall for dinner, he found that the small, handsome and overly handsome guard next to His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun seemed to have some difficulty in moving, and he was affectionate from time to time. Maidi secretly glanced at the emperor's eldest grandson.

Damn it!

For a moment, he actually felt that the little guard's eyes were a little charming!

He suddenly felt his hair stand on end and felt a chill. He quickly looked away, trying hard not to look at the little guard again.

"Your Highness, please move forward. I have already prepared breakfast in the front hall..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, then naturally reached out and touched the top of Ah Nu's head.

"You have difficulty moving today, so please rest in the backyard. I will have someone bring you food..."

Jian Yong:......

Damn it, did I discover something I shouldn’t have discovered!

What made him feel a little more relieved was that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson didn't seem to be interested in him, and his eyes were normal. But even so, he subconsciously opened a little distance between himself and His Highness the Emperor's Grandson. distance.

Although Zhao Ying was slightly surprised by his reaction, he didn't pay much attention to it.

The breakfast was unexpectedly rich.

There are even steamed buns and fried dough sticks, as well as a millet porridge with wolfberry and old wild ginseng.

Seeing that Zhao Ying seemed a little surprised, Jian Yong smiled beside him.

"These are delicacies passed down from Xianyang. It is said that even His Majesty likes them very much, but I don't know whether they are true or not..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that the people of Zhang County would be the first to accept these delicacies that he had made unintentionally. He nodded and asked casually while sitting down.

"These little things do taste good, and His Majesty likes them quite a lot - I didn't expect that even Zhang County already has them -"

Jian Yong smiled.

"Although Zhang County is remote, there are also caravans traveling to and from Xianyang. These delicacies are easy, quick and delicious to prepare, and they soon replaced the original breakfast shop..."

Speaking of this, Jian Yong seemed to have remembered something interesting and said with a smile.

"It is said that many breakfast vendors lost business and had to close down because they did not know how to do it..."

Zhao Ying:......

After breakfast, Zhao Ying returned to his courtyard. As soon as he sat down, he saw startling footsteps rushing over. He couldn't help but glare, and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Your Highness, the person you told me about has been investigated clearly. He is a clerk from a rouge shop in the city. His name is Kan. He is a local. He lives in Luzuo, the western suburb of the county. There is also an old man over sixty years old at home... "

Zhao Ying nodded.

"Does their family have no land, or lack of land?"

If there really is no land, it is actually normal, and he is not prepared to pursue it.

After all, when the first emperor conquered Zhangjun, in order to stabilize the place, he hardly touched the local aristocratic families in Zhangjun. Therefore, although the law stipulates that each Guizhou leader will be allocated a certain number of acres of land, except for the land in his hands due to the war, Apart from the land recovered from the unlucky people who had their families destroyed, there really wasn't much land that could be distributed.

As a result, although many people were divided into fields, the acres of land were insufficient, or many of them were barren wasteland. The local wealthy families hold a large amount of fertile land, but they do not have legal authority over these lands.

It's been so unclear for several years.

However, in order to further stabilize the local area, the First Emperor signed a new order a few years ago, allowing the world to "take the capital from Guizhou to the countryside". The so-called Qian Shou's self-realization of land means ordering private landowners to report the actual amount of land they own to the government. The government will use the land area reported by the farmers themselves as the basis for collecting land taxes after verification.

This is undoubtedly a disguised recognition of private ownership of land.

This policy not only completely legalized the land of those nobles who controlled a large amount of land, but also led to the re-emergence of a serious land annexation phenomenon in the Chu region far away from Guanzhong!

Some farmers who were in trouble began to lose their land again!

The land issue has not only not been resolved, but has become more acute.

It can be said that the issue of land is an extremely sensitive issue in Chu District today, especially in Zhang County.

It touches everyone's nerves.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted to him openly in a public place like his entering the city, bringing this issue to the forefront, making him have to think more about what this person's intentions were.

Therefore, although he managed to get over this problem by opening up wasteland, he still had to be vigilant.

Therefore, as soon as he turned around with his front foot, his back foot immediately went to investigate.

However, the streets were empty at that time, and the man was hiding among the crowd, which caused a lot of trouble for Jing's investigation and took a lot of time. It wasn't until today that this person was completely uncovered.

He glanced at Zhao Ying in surprise, his face looking extremely serious.

"Back to Your Highness, no, this man named Kan not only owns land at home, but also has land exceeding the normal standard of nearly 300 acres, half of which is subleased to others..."

According to records in "Book of Shang Jun: Land Calculation", at that time, every adult farmer in the Qin State could be granted "five hundred small acres" of land by the state. According to the size at that time, five hundred acres is equivalent to 143.8 acres today.

Even if it is 143.8 acres, it is completely beyond the normal working capacity of a laborer. The reason why it is divided into so many is just because the land is insufficient and it needs to be rotated to ensure the harvest.

Jing said that the farmland of Kan and his son exceeds the normal standard by nearly 300 acres. In other words, the father and son occupy almost four arable land that a farmer should occupy.

That means there is no shortage of land!

There is no shortage of land, but the question is raised directly in public. The intention behind this is really mysterious.

Zhao Ying naturally understood the meaning of the shocking words. His narrow eyes could not help but narrow slightly, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared. The good mood he had just accumulated last night almost disappeared.

"Continue to be stared at, be careful not to alert others—"

"promise!"

Jing immediately accepted the order and went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Ying was alone in the study and was silent for a long time before someone called Zhang Liang.

"Old Man Huangshi and Miss Xu Fu, wherever they are, arrangements can be made..."

Zhang Liang's eyes flashed, and he immediately bowed.

"Back to Your Highness, arrangements have been made. In three days, there will be a large temple fair in the county. At that time, my master and Junior Sister Xu will arrive in an ox cart from the west gate..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying nodded gently and warned.

"We must arrange manpower to accompany them for protection. We must keep an eye on the safety of Old Man Huangshi and Miss Xu to prevent any accidents..."

"In accordance with His Highness's instructions, I have arranged for Xiaoyaosheng and dozens of elite Imperial Guards to disguise themselves as ordinary business travelers and accompany them for protection..."

When Zhang Liang said this, he felt a little strange in his heart.

It's okay to say that my junior sister has an out-of-touch temperament. She has no obvious sense of belonging to Qin or the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. It's normal for her to agree to help His Highness.

But it is quite strange that his master, Old Man Huangshi, is willing to take action.

He felt that there might be something he didn't know about it.

But he was wise enough not to ask.

This is the second day that Zhao Ying stayed in Zhangjun.

Zhao Ying was not in a hurry to investigate the source of Prince Zhang's anger. He went on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the First Emperor. Even though everyone in the world knew that he was out to investigate the truth of these things, outside, he was also on a tour on behalf of the First Emperor.

But some actions have to be arranged.

In order to show his concern, he directly sent his most trusted confidant Zhang Liang to start "secretly" investigating the matter with his men. After hearing Zhao Ying's move, many people couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as things are under your control, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Ying himself, along with the county governor Jian Yong, as well as the county officials and Zhangjun storytellers, started another round of promotion work based on the charity hall.

Free education, free books, relief for widows and widowers, relief for poor people, and training of new Henan opera talents who can perform on stage.

For this reason, he did not shy away from asking for a group of young and beautiful singers directly from Jian Yong!

What surprised him was that after receiving the news, many wealthy families in Zhang County sent several batches of extremely high-quality singing girls to the emperor's eldest grandson who "loved beauty" overnight!

Zhao Ying readily accepted this, and none of his family refused. This made many people overjoyed, and when they left, they were almost feeling wet under their feet.

For Zhao Ying, he was quite satisfied.

After all, to learn to sing, you have to have these basic skills to get started quickly. Moreover, even if you are singing Henan Opera, you have to admit that these girls with good looks and figures are more marketable. (End of chapter)
