Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 510 How can there be such a good thing in the world (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"But this is just because Lord Wei has brought a large number of elite troops to station. But we are worried that Zhao Xie and others will take action. However, in such a hurry, we have not yet eradicated these people. We have only sent more people. , to intimidate the people in Handan City to prevent riots. But I am afraid this matter cannot end so easily."

"Especially since His Majesty the Emperor is here in person this time, we are worried about something unexpected happening, so we have informed Lord Wei in advance and want to hear Lord Wei's views on this matter."

Guardian channel:

"Shangdang County was originally the land of the old Zhao. We were stationed in Shangdang County, and we had heard of Zhao Xie's name. This person is extremely powerful, and there are many underground roots, so it must be difficult to remove. We I know your difficulties."

"I think His Majesty the Emperor personally came to Handan County of Zhao State just because he knew the situation in Zhao State. In order to avoid accidents, the soldiers and guards accompanying His Majesty this time amounted to [-] people. The generals accompanied your majesty to the hinterland of Zhao State in order to demonstrate your majesty's power and overwhelm the people of Zhao State."

"As for Zhao Xie, no matter how extensive his power is in the Zhao Kingdom, I think he cannot do anything to His Majesty the Emperor."

"So you two don't have to worry, nothing big will happen with this decision. But we have to be prepared to welcome His Majesty for the sake of our own future."

Wei Tong said, looking at each other and smiling with these people.

They are very familiar with this way of promotion.

The Sheriff of Handan County smiled, cupped his hands and said:

"Since Mr. Wei said this, we people can feel relieved."

Wei Tong controlled the horse and continued to move forward for a few steps, and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty's New Deal has been in place for a year. Many measures have been implemented one after another, and a large number of Qin officials have been mobilized to deal with coin minting and tax reduction and exemption in the empire. I know what you are all worried about. We are all afraid of the powerful clans and refugees of Zhao State. , the common people colluded to resist the rule of Qin."

"But if there is really going to be a war, don't we, the Qin people, have the confidence to win? This Zhao country has long been out of control. In the past, the military strength of our country was equal to that of our Qin country, so we could not defeat our Qin country. Now that our troops have collapsed, a You are helping a ragtag group of people, and you actually want to fight against our empire. You are really trying to do something like a chariot, and you are overestimating your own capabilities!"

"And in my opinion, this may be a way to test the results of His Majesty's new policy."

The governor of Handan said:
"Of course we are not afraid of a war. But the two of us are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. We will obey all the edicts sent by Xianyang. His Majesty ordered the introduction of new coins, and we went to Handan City in the city the next day. Set up a department to recover knife coins, bad coins, counterfeit coins, and old Zhao coins, and then give them new coins. We have been working on this for a whole month."

"As soon as the currency is new, the city of Handan will be prosperous, and the city will be extremely prosperous. Everyone praises His Majesty. As for other decrees, we will follow the decree carefully. If there is anything that cannot be implemented, it will be reported to Your Majesty, please judge."

"His Majesty's new policy, our Qin officials and generals in Handan County are all following it, so we are well aware of the difficulty of this reform. A big country like Zhao has lasted for hundreds of years, and there are big rivers in Zhao's territory, and there are a lot of them The fertile land is watered by great rivers, and the foundation of Zhao State is deep."

"The reform is to change the old customs. It takes time, but it needs to be implemented step by step and coordinated with other laws and regulations from time to time. Otherwise, it will be resented by the ignorant people. Although Zhao's reform is so difficult, But we still achieved some results, and few people mentioned King Zhao."

"But this reform is so difficult, and a truce is the premise and foundation. What we are worried about is that once the war starts, our past efforts will be in vain. Please be careful, Mr. Wei."

After hearing this, Wei Tong felt that it made sense.

"What the governor said is true. The results of this reform will take time to stabilize. If Zhao State rises again, Qin State and Zhao State will inevitably have a war. Of course, Zhao State cannot win, but this will affect Qin officials everywhere. This is a situation that His Majesty is not happy to see and should indeed be avoided. Your Majesty will arrive in Handan City tomorrow. At that time, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to decide how to deal with this matter."

……

In Handan City, outside Zhao's residence, black armor stood like a forest outside Zhao's residence. Even passers-by saw this scene and knew that Zhao Xie, the leader of the Zhao clan, was being targeted.

And inside Zhao's house, people were even more panicked.

Previously, Wei Tong and his [-] soldiers and horses had already set out to Handan City to welcome the emperor.After Qin II left, these people would take action against them.

The gate of Zhao's house was tightly closed, and through the crack of the door, three pairs of eyes looked at the situation of Qin Jun outside from the inside to the outside.

These are three brothers born from the same mother. They are about the same age. They work as farmhands for Zhao Xie. They just want to live in the family house and have a bite to eat.

But these three brothers, because of their ability in doing things, were promoted by Zhao Xie's people in charge, allowing them to guard the yard.In fact, in order to protect himself, Zhao Xie deliberately mobilized the farmhands to return to their homes.

Don't just take everything at face value. Zhao's house seems calm inside and out, and the scale of the house has not changed. However, there are now three times more people in the house than usual.

There was not a single vacant room in the vast mansion.The rice warehouse in the Zhao Mansion was also opened, in order to supply the rapidly increasing population in the mansion.

Dahei took advantage of the fact that there were many people in the mansion, but the gate was strangely guarded by only a few people, so they explored the situation through the crack in the door. After seeing it, they made an excuse to report to Zhao Xie, and then slip away.

The three of them ran to a remote place where the wall was low, and the cat was discussing matters in a dog hole connected to the outside.

Dahei said:
"One, two, three, four. I can see clearly that there are four layers of guards set up by Qin people outside Zhao's house. It must be that Zhao Xie got the jade seal passed down from Zhao by others, so it attracted people. The people of Qin were furious, so they wanted to get rid of the people of Zhao."

Erhei came up with an idea and said:

"If you want me to say, let's run as fast as possible. The Qin people will not let go of the old Zhao family. I heard that Qin II buried all the descendants of the Six Kingdoms with the first emperor of Qin, and hunted down and killed the Six Kingdoms. We used to be attached to the patriarch to avoid being bullied by the Qin people, but now the situation is different, the Qin army is going to wipe out the Zhao family, if we don’t run away, I’m afraid we will be implicated.”

Xiao Hei is timid, but his thoughts are very practical.

"But if we run away, where will we go to make a living? We have no land and cannot survive without the clan leader. Even if we are not hacked to death by the Qin people's swords, we will definitely starve to death wandering outside."

Dahei was bold and took the initiative:
"Why don't we also go to Luocao and become bandits? There are a large number of Zhao people in the mountains. They are hiding in them, and some of them have built strongholds."

Two gangsters:
"But then wouldn't we become even more enemies of the Qin government? Those bandits in the mountains have always made a living by robbing the grain and grass transported by Qin's soldiers. Qin's soldiers are hunting down the whereabouts of these people everywhere. Even if they robbed the money, they could not enter the city, let alone trade it. They could only hide in the mountains and eat as much as they robbed."

Sanhei also said:

"I don't dare to go against the people of Qin."

Dahei's eyes were as bright as fire. He hesitated for a while and then made up his mind:

"But no matter what, the important thing is to survive first. Since you can't be a bandit, then go to rely on Qin officials. Anyway, no matter who you work for, you will never be able to get ahead. Why don't you rely on Qin."

Because Erhei is literate, he can understand the notices in front of the city gate when he goes out.He suggested:
"Why don't we join the army? I know that Qin State is preparing for war. We are all helpless people. Why don't we enter Qin State's barracks and attack the Huns when the time comes? Maybe we can earn an acre of land for ourselves Woolen cloth."

Dahei said very angry:

"Second brother, what are you talking about? The Qin people are a bunch of crazy people. If you enter Qin's military camp, you will become like beasts over time. If you want to drag us to become beasts, you might as well let us So he was killed by the Qin people."

Er Hei dared not speak any more.

Little underworld:
"I think what the eldest brother said makes sense. At this time, we can only rely on the Qin officials. They just want to kill Duke Zhao and eradicate the trouble. When the time comes, they will definitely occupy Duke Zhao's land and slaves. Maybe, We circled around and ended up circling in the same field."

[Zhao Gong: Zhao Xie, the leader of the Zhao clan]

Xiao Hei continued:
"But now we must leave Zhao's house first, otherwise if the Qin people shoot arrows at us, we will definitely die."

The three of them were discussing, but suddenly they saw another team of three sneakily approaching the wall.

They didn't know each other, but they all came to find the dog hole and find a way out for themselves.The three more people who came over were an old father and his two sons.

"The Second Emperor of Qin is coming, the Zhao family is about to perish, and the people of Qin will soon kill Duke Zhao. I would like to ask the three of you to do it for your convenience and pretend not to see the three of me. If we are caught, we will wait until the time comes. If the Qin people come in, we will be among the prisoners. You know, once we break away from the protection of the clan leader, we people will be captured into the prison army. "

"You know, the people of Qin are arrogant and rude, and they don't regard us as human beings at all. They don't care what we do, whether we can do hard work or not, they will arrest us and take us all to Qin Shihuang Build a mausoleum."

"If it hadn't been for the protection of the clan leader, I might have died in Lishan, Qin. It's a pity that all three of my brothers went to Qin but never came back."

There are some fruit trees planted in this yard. It is spring and the flowering season.Since it has not borne fruit, few people come in. Except for Zhao Xie and some high scholars, generally no one comes to appreciate it.

But at this time, when a young scholar who was lying on the tree heard these words, he suddenly became very angry. He finally couldn't help but jump out and said to the old father-in-law:
"Old man, if you want to leave, then go. But you don't have to worry about being arrested by the Qin people to build the mausoleum. The emperor Qin Shihuang has passed away for more than a year, and now Qin II is succeeding, and the Lishan Mausoleum is about to be completed. Yes. Qin II granted amnesty to the whole world and all the prisoners were released."

"Perhaps the old man left Zhao's house, and he could still find his brother who returned. Moreover, the Qin government has reopened the household registration. Anyone who is willing to surrender can be re-registered into the Qin household registration. Once you join the household registration, when the time comes , the people of Qin may redivide the land for you because of your old age, and your two sons are young and strong."

After saying these words, the old man was so excited that he had tears in his eyes.

"The sky really has eyes."

"Old man, I shouldn't have said these words today. I am a person who works for Mr. Zhao, and if I say these words now, it will make people in Zhao's house panic. I saw how pitiful you are, so I said these words. But Please act as if you have never seen me today, nor have you heard what I said."

The old man's two sons stepped forward and bowed:

"Thank you for this benefactor. I just don't know your benefactor's name?"

But the man ignored his words and left alone.

After hearing this, Dahei patted his thigh and said:
"How can there be such a good thing in the world? It seems that as long as we leave Zhao State, the people of Qin State will treat us like our parents and brothers. This person must have seen us wanting to escape, so he tricked us into leaving."

Erhei said extremely excitedly:
"No - brother, he is the distinguished guest of the clan leader. This man is the grandson of Li Mu, the famous general of our Zhao Kingdom, and his name is Zuo Che. What he said must be right."

Dahei still doesn't understand very much.

"Then why didn't he escape by himself? Since Qin State is so kind to the people of the world, why don't the people of Zhao State attach themselves to Qin State one after another."

Dahei stood up his thick waist and said angrily.

In the silent peach forest, pink petals were flying everywhere. The six people got through the dog hole and left the Zhao mansion. What came face to face was the sharp sword of the Qin people.

……

……

……

Li Zuoche, a young man in rich clothes, ran quickly back to the backyard. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his legs and feet felt like they were filled with lead weights.

Inside Zhao's house, more than a dozen large pots had been set up with boiling water, which made Li Zuoche feel upset.

This Zhao Xie, who usually treated these people harshly, only talked about how the Qin people abused the Zhao people, in order to threaten them to work for him.

When he needed these people, they all went over the wall, and he couldn't blame these people.

Zhao Xieshu was short-sighted and only wanted to have power and position, but he was unwilling to benefit the common people.Now that the Qin State is carrying out reforms, he has seen the determination of the new emperor of Qin State from the actions of Qin II.

If Qin II can continue to persevere in the light of corvee and the lack of wealth, in three to five years, all the world will belong to Qin.

As for the rejuvenation of the country, they were unable to defeat the Qin country in the first place. Now that they are outnumbered, their Zhao country is naturally even more hopeless.

However, no conclusion can be made on this matter until the last moment.

After all, there are still many common people like this in the world. They are illiterate and can't think. If there is no one like him to guide them, they might leave Zhao's mansion and jump into the flood.

Li Zuoche thought this and soon felt relieved.

But he suddenly felt infinitely curious about Qin Ershi.

Why would the successor of Qin Shihuang, who had always been tyrannical and tyrannical, be such a person? He could understand the urgent needs of the people.

This Qin II is a very dangerous person, and judging from the fact that he abolished the title of Chief of Guizhou for the common people, it seems that he has no objection to the common people...

A young man dressed in black, holding a sharp sword in his hand, walked aimlessly in Zhao's house. Anyone who saw him would respectfully call him "Young Master".

In the main room of the Zhao Mansion, tall candlesticks were arranged on both sides, and the candles were brightly lit.Three equally tall copper stoves were burning incense indoors, curling up like clouds and mist.

The room was unusually deserted, with only a few servants sweeping the dust on the carpet with feather dusters.

The house was full of guests and friends, and they were all dressed in clouds. These people were all very powerful people in Handan City. Of course, most of them also had the same surname - Zhao.
