Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 528: Lu Sheng Huang Shigong is in the pocket!

The official slaves who obtained their own household registration finally changed from slaves to civilians.

Zhao Si's prestige in their hearts is unparalleled.

Of course, it was limited to official slaves. As for private slaves, they might not be so grateful to Zhao Si.

In the feudal era, being a personal vassal of a powerful person was not necessarily worse than being a yeoman farmer. Those who had even gained the trust of their masters and had children of their own family had a much better life than yeoman farmers. In view of this situation, the release of official slaves How simple it is, how difficult it would be to free a private slave.

Zhao Si told Zhi Jinwu, commander-in-chief Ji Cheng, in advance to obey Li Si's instructions and ensure that the comprehensive slave liberation activities were carried out unswervingly within the pass.

The great waves of history are sweeping over us, and a single drop of straw is an unbearable burden. At the same time, a drop of legacy is enough to change a life.

Within the county government office... the official slaves were lined up in a mess, listening blankly to the officials announcing the slave release order.

Zhao Si's literary talent is not very high, but his cultural level is still not something that this group of slaves can appreciate. In fact, the slaves really can't understand it.

After writing the whole article, they only captured two words, free the slaves!

As a result, there was a lot of shit, and gold... so far, I haven't found any.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Si has not been idle for a moment since he obtained the imperial seal and private seal of the First Emperor.

The recruitment order was based on merit without any restrictions on status, so there were many participants and a mixed bag.

The long-term cautiousness prevented the light in their eyes from shining too brightly. They just rubbed their hands together, wanting to laugh, but not daring to speak loudly...

Zhao Si would stamp every political order issued with the imperial seal.

"And this... This person is quite knowledgeable about strategy, and he actually knows how to fight at sea? Although he doesn't talk much about political affairs, he seems to be quite accomplished."

The real bottom people don't understand politics, most of them only recognize people who allow them to live a good life.

When Zhao Si was reviewing the answer papers, his eyes suddenly lit up and he picked up two papers one after another.

"What are you thinking about? Where can there be good farmland for you in the pass? You are exempt from tax for three years, and one man has a hundred acres. Most of the land will be allocated to Lingnan, Longxi. After you create a household, your household registration will be registered there. After the registration is completed, someone from the government will send you there. , distribute what is needed.”

Zhao Si is no longer a novice who has just traveled through time, so naturally he cannot do anything to promote business with his eyes closed.

It's not new. To put it bluntly, it's just to show off to the ministers.

Well, it’s just digging for gold from shit.

The Qin State suppressed commerce too seriously. It is understandable to open some openings for small-scale private trade. Real bulk trade and commercial reforms cannot be made rashly. The main thing Zhao Si needs to do now is reform. There is still a five-year plan for the next. It is too early to make big changes. Opening up business on a large scale and restoring civil liberties may affect the government's ability to mobilize.

Zhao Si didn't care whether the head of Guizhou was grateful or not. He was currently taking the time to review and approve the answers submitted due to the recruitment order.

At the age of twenty-three, he was demoted as a slave because he failed to pay taxes. The child was born as a slave, that is, he was born during the period of being a slave, so he was born a slave. As for his wife, he died of illness.

It will be easier to go back and determine the beginning of the reform.

"If you still have family members, you can move with them..."

During this period, many personnel transfers and appointments were made, and many government orders were issued to promote people's livelihood and free private transactions, with the intention of restoring the private business atmosphere.

"Your Majesty Taisun is kind. People like you will be registered as households, and you will be given fields, seeds and clothes for you to cultivate and cultivate. You will not be held accountable for your past crimes. You will be exempted from taxes for the first three years. It will start after three years. Pay taxes normally. If you are an official slave, you will only need to pay tithe in the future. If you are a private slave, you will have to pay double the tax after three years to pay for the redemption." The official in charge explained the slave release policy.

"Then...my child..." the old man said cautiously.

As the saying goes, you have the right to use it and it becomes invalid upon expiration.

Fortunately, he is a new official. Compared with the old officials who were strict and unkind, the new officials are more willing to carry out detailed propaganda and are more knowledgeable in communicating with the common people at the bottom.

In fact, it is not appropriate to call him an old man. He is not very old, only in his thirties, but he has a head full of white hair and looks like he is in his fifties or sixties.

"Of course they were released together..." the official smiled and said.

The slave release order is in full swing. Guanzhong was the first to start, and the world also responded. The release of official slaves is progressing very quickly, while the release of private slaves is relatively slow. Although they dare not openly resist the government, there are always some loopholes that can be exploited. .

To be honest, reviewing a large number of junk articles is really a very energy-consuming task.

Shuo Potian's current Daqin is still a small-scale peasant economy and society.

A name was quietly imprinted on their hearts.

"Aren't you going to be a minister?" The old man, who was originally gloomy and confused, rubbed his chapped and calloused hands with some hope in his eyes.

To be honest, if it weren't for the money to buy horse bones, Zhao Si would have left this bad job to others.

Of course, it was limited to small-scale trade, such as bulk purchases of commodities, and Zhao Si did not act rashly in this regard.

With the Imperial Seal in hand, being able to use it without restraint means that the First Emperor has endorsed it.

Joy, hope is growing...

How should I put it... there are a lot of civil science big guys in there.

Therefore, the jade seals originally used only for important events were directly stamped in batches by Zhao Si.

The battle of wits and courage between aristocratic families and Zhi Jinwu was also a lot of fun. Zhao Si was also very busy. The number of memorials to be approved every day increased in a straight line. Therefore, there was no time to review the answers submitted by the recruitment order for many days in a row, and there was a lot of backlog.

"His Royal Highness Taisun issued an order for the release of slaves. From now on, the past crimes will be forgotten. After the slaves and concubines are registered, they will become common people." The official noticed the other party's eyes mixed with hope and answered loudly.

Zhao Si had previously wanted to use this to find some Wang Zuo talents who were frustrated and had been missed by him.

"Well...this article..."

"Place of origin? House established? Is this household located inside the pass or outside the pass?" Another official asked.

Your Highness Taisun...

It's normal. In fact, Zhao Si, who was really a talented person from a poor family, was basically packed away, or died in the chaos caused by the previous order to move the royal tomb.

The rest either have academic heritage or a large family background, so there is no need to start with the recruitment order.

The school room is the place where they value competition.

After all, the recruitment order is not a formal promotion channel. In a sense, it is a person who has no choice but to choose this path. But today's two answer sheets, one after another, made Zhao Si feel energetic instantly.

Because of the previous reason to build momentum for the expedition to the Peacock Kingdom, Zhao Si deliberately limited the scope of the test questions, that is, based on the fact that the Peacock Kingdom imprisoned the envoys of the Qin Dynasty as a starting point for free development.

Therefore, these two answer sheets are both propositional essays.

The first answer sheet did not write about whether it should be fought or not, nor did it denounce the Maurya Kingdom. Instead, it started from the population and territory of the Maurya Kingdom and proposed the feasibility of developing trade. It also evaluated the comprehensive shipping level of Daqin and believed that the current If Da Qin could establish trade relations with the Maurya Kingdom, it would surely gain a lot.

This was not simple. Mixed with his views on maritime affairs, Zhao Si was keenly aware that the other party turned out to be a rare talent who was proficient in maritime affairs and shipping trade.

This is simply not easy in this era...

Zhao Si himself returned from the sea and naturally knew a lot about maritime affairs. From just a few words of the other party, Zhao Sijiu could confirm that the other party definitely had complete navigation knowledge, especially in the offshore area, and the logic of the other party's knowledge was very correct.

"A disciple of the Yin Yang family? Or a Qi person? Or a folk weirdo? Lu Sheng? Wait, is it a coincidence or the same name?" Zhao Si subconsciously noticed the other person's name.

Zhao Si is no stranger to the legendary alchemist of Qin State.

After all, he went to sea with Xu Fu, and Xu Fu was in the circle of alchemists. As Xu Fu's key training target, how could Zhao Si not have heard of Lu Sheng?

Hmm... Xu Fu's accomplice and one of the participants in the First Emperor's plan to seek immortality.

One of the ancestors of the Lu family in Fan Yang... once served as a doctor of the Five Classics in the Qin State.

Later, he ran away inexplicably, and then Xu Fu took over the Emperor's longevity plan. Before that, Lu Sheng was the person in charge of the Emperor's longevity plan.

"If it is really the alchemist Lu Sheng, it is not surprising that he is familiar with maritime affairs. Xu Fu only became the person in charge when he went to sea for the last time. Before that, Lu Sheng was fully responsible. As the person in charge, it is not unusual to know some navigation knowledge. matter.

But...since he had run away, why did he suddenly show up?
And...you don’t need a pseudonym? Are you really not afraid of death? Or are you sure that the eldest father will not kill him? "Zhao Si thought to himself and put the answer sheet on the desk.

If Lu Sheng's answer sheet is rare and excellent, then Zhao Si, as the review teacher, is absolutely willing to give full marks to the second answer sheet.

The content of the second answer sheet is military theory.

Discuss the advantages of Qin's maritime affairs, how to fight, how to win, and what ideal results can be achieved in the end.

Before deciding to go to war, Zhao Si, of course, also asked Wang Jian to evaluate and predict the general direction of the war and estimate the ideal outcome.

The answer given in this answer sheet is almost completely consistent with the predictions of Zhao Si and Wang Jian.

And this is based on the premise that the other party's information is not as complete as Zhao Si and Wang Jian.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party is stronger than Wang Jian.

Talking on paper, figuring out the direction and goals is just an estimate and general direction prediction, and you don’t have to do it yourself, so you can naturally make bold guesses with confidence.

There is only one correct answer. Everyone just got it right, but there is no one who is better or worse.

But just looking at it from this perspective, let’s not mention the actual military capabilities of the opponent for now. From a theoretical point of view, the opponent is indeed enough to establish a sect.

"Zodiac man...what a strange name..."

"Have you never heard of this person?"

Zhao Si placed the two answer sheets on the desk and looked at Jizhu.

"Go to my mansion and order these two people to come to the palace to see you!"

A Lu Sheng, a Zodiac Man, suddenly found gold in his shit. Zhao Si always felt that something was not quite right, but after thinking about it, where was his status and power? No matter what he had in mind, he would only take what he wanted. It is enough to achieve the purpose.

Hearing this, Ji Zhou accepted the order, bowed and bowed, then exited the palace, took out the chariot and galloped away.

Wait a moment...

Ji Zhou came back and said: "Your Highness, you have been brought to the side hall to wait. Do you want to summon him?"

"Summon Lu Sheng first." Zhao Si smiled.

He didn't know much about the past, mainly because it had been a long time ago, and the First Emperor's quest for immortality was originally a dark history. Even the historian's records were vague. Zhao Si didn't know the specific story, but he was curious. Lu Sheng had obviously run away. Yes, why are you back?

You can't just run back and die, right?
After a while, Lu Sheng came over. Zhao Si looked up at him. He looked upright, neatly dressed, with mixed black and white hair, and he looked like a fairy.

Judging from the appearance alone, it really looks like a cultivator.

But it's normal. If his appearance is not up to standard, it will definitely be more difficult to win people's trust. Not to mention Lu Sheng, Xu Fu's appearance is actually quite celestial.

Hmm...it's quite fairy-like.

But this immortal energy only lasted for a moment before it was broken by Lu Sheng himself.

After Lu Sheng bowed and bowed politely, he took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "Your Highness! The criminal Lu Sheng wants to report Huang Shigong for hiding in His Highness's mansion under the guise of someone else's name. He has evil intentions and plans. It’s so big!”

Ok?
"Huang Shigong?" Zhao Si frowned slightly.

This name is so popular that it is as legendary as Guiguzi. There are even rumors that Huang Shigong is the contemporary Guiguzi.

"He is the person who goes by the pseudonym Huang Daoren. Your Highness must have read his report." Lu Sheng prompted.

"Is he Huang Shigong?" Zhao Si frowned slightly.

This person had a great reputation, but his ingredients were complicated. Zhao Si couldn't figure out the reason why he took the initiative to show up.

But objectively speaking, judging from the deeds handed down in modern times, the other party should not have a very friendly impression of the Qin State. The people were unruly people and people who did not obey the king's orders.

Um...no...Zhao Si realized that he was being led by Lu Sheng. He shook his head and looked at Lu Sheng again: "I have read his memorials, and they are indeed well written. There are no empty scholars under his reputation." , but...what about you?"

"Gu is not very clear about the past, but I went to sea with Xu Fu, so I have heard some of your reputation. If I remember correctly, you have absconded many years ago, and you and Xu Fu were both alchemists. You deceived your father together, and now you are back? Are you here to plead guilty?" Zhao Si looked at Lu Sheng with a smile.

According to the report from the mansion, Lu Sheng and Huang Shigong came to visit together.

"Your Highness clearly knows that the criminal is a doctor of the Five Classics, not an alchemist. As for deceiving Your Majesty with the elixir of longevity, it was all done by Xu Fu alone. I was also deceived..."

"Really? In that case, how about you just do a favor and send someone to send you to Tangquan to explain the situation carefully to Gu's eldest father?" Zhao Si looked at the other party with a smile.

(Something happened yesterday and I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t even have time to ask for leave. I’m sorry, sir.)
