my grandfather was qin shi huang

As soon as Zhao Ying said this, the soldiers in the audience were stunned for a moment.

To make great achievements, you don’t need a sword at your waist or a spear in your hand, so what else can you rely on?

With Zhao Ying's eyesight, he could clearly see the reactions below, and he could even see the subtle expression changes on their faces clearly.

Therefore, while thinking about the scene when a certain Teller spoke in later generations, he looked around at everyone with a warm face and vigorously waved the clenched fist of his right hand.

"In times of war, the court needs us to stand up and defend the country. In times of peace, we need us to sit in the place, but it also needs us to build the place. Let the place where we are stationed become stable, and let the place where we are stationed become Isn’t it our original intention to be soldiers to be prosperous and to allow the folks behind us to live a good life?”

Zhao Ying looked at everyone and took a step forward.

"Nowadays, Kuaiji County lacks arable land and has no fields to plant. Countless people in Guizhou Province cannot even afford two meals a day. They have to eat grass roots and tree bark to survive. As the eldest grandson of the emperor and the governor-general of Jiangnan in Qin Dynasty, I feel very sad. , Therefore, I have decided to lead everyone from today on to open up another battlefield! Go to the countryside, to the fields, to the swamps and tidal flats, and use our hands to create thousands of hectares of fertile land for the people of Kuaiji!"

Having said this, Zhao Ying raised the sword in his hand that was personally given by the First Emperor.

"This is a tough battle! Today, I, Zhao Ying, guarantee that with the sword given by His Majesty himself, anyone who can open up ten acres of fertile land in this battle will be given a thousand coins below the hairpin, and those who can reach fifty acres will be promoted to a noble rank. At the first level, those who open up 100 acres of fertile land will be regarded as the first to join the army. If they stay in the army, they can be promoted to centurions. If they want to resign and return to the fields, they can attend a school and study for 100 days. After completing their studies, they can work for local misfits or tourists... …”

These are all real benefits.

In the past, being promoted to the first level of nobility might just mean increasing your land, exempting you from servitude, and adding a few slaves to your family, but now it gave you a direct way to advance.

Although he is only an official, it is also a class leap!

If ordinary people don't have special opportunities and want to take this step, they may not be able to get such an opportunity after three or two generations.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Ying said this, the atmosphere in the military academy was heated instantly.

Even a few of the two or five hundred masters who had remained silent could not help but narrow their eyes, and there was a hint of expectation in their hearts.

Then they heard a promise that made their blood boil.

"For generals at all levels above centurion and the number of fertile fields cultivated by their subordinates, those who rank among the top three in the army at the same level will be promoted to the third level of nobility, two to five hundred masters, and will be granted the title of captain and the title of general——"

At the level of two to five hundred masters, he is actually the backbone of the army.

Similar to the captain of thousands in later generations.

Further up, there are military lords, captains, and generals!

It is no longer an easy task to achieve a leap forward. I don’t know how many times I have to work hard before I can take another step forward. But now I only need to lead my brothers and follow the emperor’s eldest grandson to cultivate fertile land, and they are expected to get it. How could you not be excited?

This is simply an opportunity delivered to you.

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory!"

Listening to the shouts that echoed from all directions in the audience, Zhao Ying knew that the matter was done.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

If we want this group of Qin elites who are accustomed to handling weapons to devote themselves to productive labor willingly and enthusiastically, we must promise heavy profits.

Let him maintain the pride of being the elite of Great Qin in his heart.

On February 23, the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin, Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin, the champion general, the governor of Hexi County, and the governor-general of Jiangnan, personally led the three armies and launched a vigorous military garrison operation.

Tens of thousands of Qin elites put down their weapons, picked up farm tools, and followed the emperor's grandson into the swamps, using fences to separate the mud and water, making

The mud and water gradually broke away and turned into fertile farmland.

When they originally did this, everyone was still a little confused, but when they saw that the invincible and war-god His Highness the Emperor Sun was like them, holding farm tools and standing in the swamp to work on the polders, they suddenly felt in their hearts. It was filled with an indescribable emotion.

At the same time, an announcement signed by the county governor Li You and the county lieutenant general Lu was posted in front of the government offices in various places in Kuaiji County. Word of mouth spread throughout the country.

"Encourage people from all over the country to polder. For those who polder, the government will provide them with two meals a day. The polder fields, no matter how much, can be owned by individuals. After being registered and recorded by the government, they will not be allowed to own the land within five years. Pay no taxes, and all output belongs to the individual!”

As soon as this news came out, the people of the entire Kuaiji County were in an uproar!

Those whose families had a large population and had already finished their spring plowing, without saying a word, rushed with their families to the swamp shores and tidal flats where farming was impossible.

In the past, people had no enthusiasm for reclamation and there were no appropriate policies. The land they reclaimed may not be their own. Even if it was theirs, the taxes alone were enough to crush people. Now these concerns have disappeared. Once the land is reclaimed, it is yours. The government will give you the land title, and you will be exempted from taxes and taxes for the first five years.

Those who have a small family are almost red-eyed looking at it, and their wives and children are all working overtime.

Then, he rushed into the swamps and tidal flats that he usually didn't even bother to look at.

In order to avoid disputes, local governments, after receiving the notice, have mobilized all their personnel and distributed them to the ownerless wastelands to divide the areas and determine the rules for the people who opened up wasteland.

Avoid unnecessary disputes.

Even the wealthy families who were working overtime to build the canal with their clan members were jealous. However, they could only be jealous because the emperor's eldest grandson's intensity in urging the canal to be built has not weakened at all, and he still notified everyone every time. Home construction progress, quality of finish.

This is even used as a standard to measure the strength of a family.

Those whose performance is unfavorable may be canceled or the amount of salt purchased may be limited.

Therefore, even if they see the great prospects of the polder, they can only grit their teeth and give up for the sake of greater interests. However, those small families who were not able to get involved in the construction of the ditch were a blessing in disguise and were able to participate in this gluttonous feast.

Under Huang Changsun's series of combination punches, the entire Kuaiji County suddenly burst out with great vitality.

At this moment, people forgot about the hatred between the Qin people and the Chu people, and forgot about the rumors. Everyone just remembered that seizing the opportunity means seizing the future, and leaving behind a legacy that can be hard-earned for future generations. fundamental.

……

Zhangtai Palace.

The First Emperor looked at the information that Heibingtai rushed back and couldn't help but hold on to the cases and laughed. Hei was already somewhat immune to the scene in front of him. During this period, every time news came about the emperor's eldest grandson, it was the best time in the heart of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest grandson has some good news..."

When the First Emperor's laughter stopped, Hei smiled and stepped forward to hold his hands.

"Not bad, not bad, come on, come and see how my eldest grandson, the emperor, is doing..."

After saying that, he handed the information that Hei Bingtai had passed as quickly as possible to Hei.

"How, how - I, the emperor's eldest grandson, can rule a country..."

Looking at the surprised Hei, the First Emperor couldn't help laughing again.

Hei did not continue the topic of the First Emperor, but said with a smile.

"Your Highness is always able to peel off the cocoon and get to the root of it. After this, Kuaiji County will definitely be able to gain tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the hidden dangers in Kuaiji County will also be completely eliminated..."

Use advantage to drive people away, and there will always be disadvantages!

If you want to ask what is the most reliable relationship in the world, it is naturally the relationship of mutual benefit. Those who have benefited from these policies, whether they are the wealthy families who built ditches, the wealthy families who exchanged salt, the squires who cultivated fertile land, or the most ordinary people, as long as they want to keep the interests in their hands, then The rule of Great Qin must be guaranteed!

This is the foundation and the premise.

The First Emperor sighed with emotion and nodded happily.

"With my eldest grandson like this, I have nothing to worry about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a violent cough. After coughing for a long time, he slowly recovered. Hei, who was standing behind him, looked at the tall and straight body in the past, coughing into a ball like this, and his eyes couldn't help but There was a flash of deeply hidden worry.

"Your Majesty, would you like to send Medical Officer Xia to come and take a look at you..."

The First Emperor calmed down his breath, then slowly shook his head, sat down again, and spread out the memorials placed in front of several cases.

"No need, it's all old problems..."

Black can only remain silent.

According to his age, His Majesty has actually just reached the age of knowing his destiny this year. However, he has early spots on his temples, and even his body, which used to be able to shoot a three-stone bow, has become extremely weak. Especially in these days, even his diet, They are obviously much less.

Doctor Xia had already seen this cough and prescribed a prescription, but it had no obvious effect.

On the contrary, His Majesty's health was slightly better than when the Emperor's eldest grandson was here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously turned his head and looked south, feeling a little anxious in his heart. He didn't know when His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun would come back...

Seeing the First Emperor coughing while reviewing the memorials, Hei hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but bow down and persuade in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, these memorials have been reviewed by the cabinet. Why do you insist on re-reviewing them one by one? Isn't this a failure of His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson's hard work..."

The First Emperor raised his head from the memorial, rubbed his tired waist, coughed twice, and then spoke slowly.

"The people Ying'er selected for me are indeed talented people. Especially the later Cao Shen, who is thoughtful, strategist, and visionary. They are all first-class and have the qualities of a prime minister and an assistant. But in the end They are too young, I can't just hand them over to my eldest grandson..."

Speaking of this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.

"I have to train them all while I still have energy, so that they can become talents that Ying'er can truly use with confidence, otherwise I won't worry..."

Hei was silent for a long time, bowed deeply to the First Emperor, and then silently retreated to his corner again.

He has never seen His Majesty as a person with such good intentions.

The only thing he could do was to pray silently that the emperor's grandson would come back as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if His Majesty is allowed to continue like this, His Majesty's body will really be unable to hold on.

……

Shangjun.

"Sir, you can't do this anymore. If you do this again, I'm worried that your body won't be able to hold on..."

When Yan, the governor of Shangjun, and General Wang Ben who was stationed here found Fusu, Fusu was digging a ditch with a few personal guards around him, wearing coarse shorts, rolled up trouser legs, holding a shovel, and sweating like rain.

If he hadn't received the news in advance, even if Wang Bi and Sheriff Yan were riding past him, they probably wouldn't have known that the man squatting here digging ditches covered in mud and water would be the elegant and calm elder. Young Master.

Hearing the voice behind him, Fusu casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned to look over with a shovel and his waist.

"Chief Yan, General Wang, how did you find this place..."

General Wang Ben couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Your Highness, you have almost reached here these days. If we don't find you here, how can we find you..."

Fusu smiled sheepishly, handed the shovel in his hand to the guard on the side, walked to the side and looked at the county governor Yan and General Wang Ben who came hand in hand.

"What do you want to see me for?"

After leaving the crowd, Fusu looked seriously at the two humerus ministers of Great Qin.

Hearing Fusu ask this, County Sheriff Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sir, this county is no better than Jiangnan. The weather is extremely cold and your body is weak. If there is something wrong with you, we really can't explain it to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."

Fusu:......

I didn't know how to interface for a while, so I held it in for a long time before shaking my head with a wry smile.

"Is there any need to explain this? I'm not weak, I'm seventy or eighty..."

Having said this, he subconsciously patted his waist until he reached an empty space. Then he remembered that he was not carrying a long sword, so he calmly put his hands on his waist.

"It's just a canal to divert water——"

Having said this, Fusu pointed to the busy scene in front of him.

"I asked someone to take a look. Although the weather in our upper county is a bit worse, the land is still fertile. If we can open up this highland and divert water from the Wuding River and Yuxi River for irrigation, we may not be able to create a land here. Fertile farmland…”

Speaking of this, Fusu's eyes seemed to flash with a light that he had never seen before.

"I feel pretty good now. I've never felt so good before—"

Having said this, Fusu smiled and looked around at the two people in front of him.

"Confucius once said that he is sensitive to things but slow to speak. I am ashamed to say that I had not realized it in the past. It was not until I received a letter from Ying'er a few days ago and heard about his actions in Jiangnan that I realized what was going on. Really, I realized that everything in the past was all vain, and I wanted to imitate that child and be down-to-earth and actually do something for the world's leader..."

After speaking, he returned his gaze to the construction site in front of him.

There are about two to three hundred people on this construction site.

Most of them were his personal servants who came to the county with him, and some were local people who admired him. These days, after hearing about his actions, they spontaneously came to help with food and tools.

A few days later, hundreds of people gradually gathered in this desolate land! (End of chapter)
