At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 240, Shameless Hu Hai and the Great Development Era

As expected, the mud can't hold up the wall, yet he still thinks he is the second emperor of Qin, Zhao Gao said with disdain in his heart.

However, the reason why he took refuge with Hu Hai in the first place was because Hu Hai was incapable of easy control. I just didn't expect that things in the world would change so quickly. His arrangements of more than ten years were shattered by the Han Emperor.

Zhao Gao said calmly: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty abolished the slave system. Now the slaves in Xianyang have been divided into land. It is difficult to find a tenant in Guanzhong. After the land is equalized, everyone has land, so naturally there will be no tenants, let alone slaves. I can only find an old farmer to help you."

Fusu said calmly: "Brother Hai, don't embarrass Zhao Gao. Emperor Han demoted us to common people just to make us suffer. If you asked Zhao Gao to bring slaves here and Emperor Han found out, I can't bear the burden and just walk around."

Fusu understood Zhao Gao's nature, he was a villain through and through.

Now they, the young masters of the former Qin Dynasty, are in trouble. Even the ministers of the former Qin Dynasty and their own in-laws are avoiding them. Zhao Gao takes the initiative to take a liking to them. They are so attentive to them for nothing and are either traitors or thieves. He is worried that Zhao Gao will betray them in exchange for The appreciation of the Han Emperor.

It can only be said that Fusu's intuition is really accurate.

Hu Hai said decadently: "Can we only become old farmers for the rest of our lives? It would be better to just die in this kind of life."

Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai with disdain. People who really want to die will not talk about death. Hu Hai is just complaining.

When Fusu heard this, he glared at Hu Hai fiercely, and Young Master Gao was extremely embarrassed.

In Chang'an City, Hu Hai is a kind of existence that is disliked by people and abandoned by dogs.

Prince Gao and others all came to Hu Hai. They were more willing to copy books than to cultivate the land. After all, it was more honorable.

The old farmer rolled up his trouser legs, took a hoe and said, "Follow me and let's loosen the soil and plow the ground together. If you don't know how to do farm work, just watch and learn. Practice as you watch. The more you practice, the better it will become."

Compared to Fusu and other descendants of the First Emperor, who were even more shameless, Hu Hai was really shameless.

Hu Hai said sadly: "What can we do for the people who have subjugated their country? The previous ministers did not dare to pay attention to us, and they were not willing to let them get some money. My father has really used them in vain for decades, and the high officials and generous salaries have been given to them in vain." ”

He had just arrived in Zhao Li for less than a month, and that was the time he was most afraid of. Whenever someone appeared outside Zhao Li, he was worried that the Han Emperor would lead people to hang him, so he hid directly in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor ( (unsealed perimeter), wanting to rely on his dead father for protection. Fusu had to pull him out every time.

Young Master Gao smiled bitterly and said, "We are sinners now. If someone is willing to help our brothers, do we still have a choice?"

At the same time, he also felt lucky. If he hadn't been in the military camp, he would have been the first person Hu Hai came to see him.

But printing technology had not yet been developed at this time, and it was impossible for Xu Fan to put the original copy in the library, so many scholars needed to copy the books and put the copied books in the library.

Li Si was also not doing well at this time. The prime minister's palace was confiscated and his family's money was basically taken away by the Han army. Now he makes money by writing books for others. How could he afford to support Hu Hai, a lazy man? He drove Hu Hai out of the house a few times. .

Then he said: "None of these gentlemen have ever done farm work. If we live on these few acres of land, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult."

That afternoon, Hu Hai brought paper and pen and said excitedly: "I asked, if I can earn 150 yuan by writing a book, it is more profitable than just copying books. Brothers, if anyone is willing to copy books, please come to me." ”

He was a little doubtful of Zhao Gao's words. Da Qin was still there. Zhao Gao, as the official of Zhongche Mansion, was naturally in a high and powerful position. But now Da Qin had been destroyed, and their young masters were all in trouble. Eunuchs like Zhao Gao should be able to live a normal life. It would be worse.

But after more than a month passed, Hu Hai found that the Han army didn't care about him at all. He began to carefully go to the rural market several times. There were really no Han officials to stop him. Only then did he believe that the Han emperor really didn't care about them.

After Fusu from the rear knew about the embarrassing things Hu Hai had done, he simply imprisoned Hu Hai in Zhao Li and did not allow him to go to Chang'an City again.

Zhao Gao confidently said: "The king of Han values ​​​​Xu's legal ability and allows this villain to serve as a legal instructor in the Han army. It can still be done by hiring an old farmer."

Zhao Gao smiled and said: "Young master, you can go to the library to buy pens and ink and copy books. The news has been told to all of you, I have resigned."

Hu Hai said unhappily: "Zhao Gao is my teacher, could he still harm me?"

After Xu Fan occupied Xianyang Palace, his library contained hundreds of classics and unique books, and there were even many ancient oracle bones, bronze inscriptions and other books.

But his current position as a law instructor was earned through his true skills. This was an acknowledgment of his own abilities, which was unprecedented for him. He was extremely proud of his profession as an instructor.

This kind of expression is rarely seen by Zhao Gao. He only got the position appointed by the CRRC by serving the First Emperor, and he also served the First Emperor. This is what a slave does, but his master is the First Emperor.

Zhao Gaodao said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty promoted education and built a new library. The copies of hundreds of books collected by His Majesty were placed in this library for people all over the world to read and study."

Hu Hai stood up and said, "We need to plow the land. You plow it, and I'll go inquire about copying books."

In order to please the First Emperor, Hu Hai's calligraphy was good. He had worked hard to follow Zhao Gao and Li Si had worked hard to make money by copying books, but he was absolutely unwilling to plow the land.

So now the big man has a job of copying books. For example, you can earn hundreds of dollars by copying a copy of the "Tao Te Ching". You gentlemen have read enough poems and books, and you can finish copying books. "

Fusu saw Zhao Gao walking away and said to his brother: "Don't interact with him in the future. He is not a good person."

Xu Fan understands that he wants a book to not disappear. The contents should be copied and written on a large scale, and only a single copy should be kept. Can it not disappear?

So he began to show up in Chang'an City swaggering, first looking for his former ministers, hoping to get some money to end his hard life. Zhao Li's hard life, he did not want to live a day.

Later, Hu Hai simply ran to Li Si's house to eat and drink. Others could hide, but Li Si was Hu Hai's father-in-law and couldn't hide.

The next day, an old farmer came to Zhao Li and said to Fusu, "I was invited by Mr. Zhao to teach you young masters how to farm."

After saying that, Zhao Gao left Zhao Li.

But those ministers of the former Qin Dynasty were the targets of suppression. Although Xu Fan did not kill them, the houses given to them by the Qin Dynasty were confiscated, the land was confiscated, and the family was reduced from the top to the bottom.

They didn't have much money at all, and they didn't dare to be associated with Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin. So every time Hu Hai came to the door, they treated him as if he was a disaster star, and they didn't even dare to open the door.

The young master said: "Can you really ask an old farmer to help us?"

Young Master Gao was pleasantly surprised and said: "I can recite the Shangshu and the Book of Songs backwards and forwards, and I can write them down silently."

Fusu saluted the old farmer and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, husband."

Fusu and other young masters were learning from the old farmers, and the old farmers explained the techniques to them and taught them how to master the curved shaft plow.

The old farmer saw these crooked fields and sighed: "The curved shaft plow is already much easier to use than the previous straight plow, but it is still used like this."

Zhao Gao knew what Hu Hai had done and couldn't help but shake his head. The First Emperor was the only emperor throughout the ages, but such a prodigal son actually appeared. The First Emperor's face was completely humiliated by him.

Fusu immediately said: "Come here and learn from this old man."

Only Fusu asked curiously: "Where did you get the money to buy paper and pens?"

Hu Hai was originally rich, but he was soon ruined.

Hu Hai said nonchalantly: "I got it from my father-in-law's house."

Fusu was speechless. Even if he and Li Si didn't deal with each other, he still felt that Li Si was really unlucky for eight lifetimes because he had Hu Hai as his son-in-law.

Chang'an City, Chen Mansion.

But there was a lot of noise in the city, with a large number of people coming in and out. There were officers in military uniforms, counselors in Confucian uniforms, and rangers in tattered clothes. It could be said that there were all kinds of people from all three religions and nine streams.

Xiang Biao looked at the map of Sichuan and frowned and said: "The west of Sichuan is too remote. There are also people from Dian and Yelang. They are all barbarians. How can your majesty entrust you to go to such a remote place?"

Although Xiang Biao was happy that Chen Xiao could become the king of vassals, this feudal kingdom was too biased. At this time, Shuzhong was a remote place. Otherwise, Liu Bang would have been enfeoffed as the King of Hanzhong in history, and the soldiers would have fled in large numbers, because in the eyes of those soldiers, Hanzhong was already a very wild world, and now Chen Xiao's fiefdom is even worse than Hanzhong. It was far away, and in the eyes of people at that time, it was almost like the horizon.

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "The Central Plains is such a prosperous place, how can it be my child's turn? When the Emperor of Zhou divided the princes, he also went to the wild lands to carve out homes."

"Back then, our ancestor of the Chu State was just a viscount, but the ancestors of the Chu State in the past dynasties expanded the territory and killed hundreds of barbarians before they occupied the land of 5000 miles in the south. They became the biggest thorn in the side of the Emperor of Zhou, and even established themselves as kings of Shu. The center and west are just right, with vast space for development, including the Dian Kingdom and the Yelang Kingdom. I don’t have to worry about where I go and there are no people to reclaim the land and build the city. "

For Chen Xiao, the most worrying thing is that there is a barbaric wilderness to the west of central Sichuan. Even the common people don't know where to look. And now there are two countries, which means there is civilization here. These two countries will be his territory from now on. , the two common people are their own subjects. 800 years ago, their ancestors of the Chu State gradually opened up a hegemony foundation in this way. Xiang Biao hesitated and said: "How do you solve the serious miasma in the south?"

Chen Xiaodao: "The King of Han said that the so-called severe miasma is just a kind of poisonous insect, which can be solved by boiling water."

Then he held a medical book in his hand, which contained 50 ways to prevent and treat epidemic diseases, which were good habits recorded by Xu Fan for future generations, such as drinking boiled water, washing hands frequently, not eating wild animals casually, paying attention to prevent mosquito bites, and cooking food. Eat and wait.

As long as Chen Xiao and the others follow the above, it cannot be said that there will be no death at all, but they can also reduce the death of 90% of the diseases. There is no civilization in the world that is more advanced than the civilization of the Han Dynasty. The savages in the wild jungle cannot be the opponent of the Han Dynasty. As long as the epidemic, the most important enemy, is prevented, there will be no problem in developing Nanzhong.

Xiang Biao felt relieved and said: "Since the King of Han has made so many full preparations for you, I won't say anything more. After I return, I will sell off my property and fully support you in building the country."

Although Xu Fan has been suppressing the powerful nobles in the territory over the years, the Han Dynasty as a whole is still in the process of rapid expansion. The property of people like Xiang Biao is also in a state of expansion. Now, Xiang Biao is willing to risk everything for his son.

Chang'an City, Ji Mansion.

The two brothers Ji Bu and Ji Xin were also discussing the matter of sealing the country.

Ji Xindao: "Brother, the desert is no better than the Central Plains. The Hu people there are generally more powerful than the savages in southern Xinjiang. The Yuezhi people you have to face are also the overlords in the desert. The Yuezhi rule in Hexi is larger than that in Guanzhong. The tribes under their control extend from the Hexi Corridor to the Huangshui River Basin. They have millions of tribesmen and control more than 100,000 people. Even the Huns in the Hetao area surrendered to the Yuezhi people, and their leader Touman had to risk his son. Immediately send it to Yuezhi as a pledge."

Ji Xin thought for a while and said, "Why don't eldest brother talk to the King of Han and find another place?"

Meng Tian used 30 troops to defeat the Huns, and now the Yuezhi people are more powerful than the Huns. His eldest brother's 1000 cavalry are even more insignificant in front of the Yuezhi people.

But Ji Bu said firmly: "Back then, your Majesty led 800 prisoners to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers. Although his ability was not as good as that of the King of Han, he was still able to kill a Yuezhi who controlled more than strings."

Ji Xin advised: "The Great Qin oppressed the people of the world and forced the people of the world to rebel. The King of Han succeeded. However, the Yuezhi people do not have such conditions. They are all from the same clan and it is impossible for them to seek refuge with an outsider like their brother."

Ji Bu said: "Most of the people of the Yueshi tribe are slaves. This oppression is stronger than that of the Great Qin. As long as I find the right method, I, Ji Bu, can defeat this grassland overlord."

When Ji Xin couldn't persuade Ji Bu, he could only say: "I think you should ask for His Majesty's opinion."

This time Ji Bu did not refuse.

Chang'an City, Jingfu.

Jingyi has been in a bad mood these past few days.

A few days ago in Zhangtai Palace, he personally put on the crown for Emperor Han, and was proud for several days in front of his old friend Xiang Biao.

But he didn't expect that the world would change so quickly. A few days later, Xiang Biao said proudly in front of him: "My son is the Duke of the country, and he is also the king of the princes. Do you know that my son will go to Shu?" Zhong Jianguo, it won’t be long before someone will become the father of the princes and kings.

What title does someone's son have? It turned out to be just a count! He is two levels behind a certain son, but your son must continue to work hard! "

Jingyi was so angry that he didn't eat all day.

When his son Jing Tao returned home and said, "Why are you so unsatisfactory? Why are you so much worse than Xiang Biao's son? You have completely disgraced me as a father."

Although the Xiang family is also the top noble of the Chu State, there is still a gap between them and the Jing family. Their family is a clan noble of the Chu State and has produced many princes. But now the Xiang family has produced a King of Qi and a Duke of the State. , but his son only had the title of earl, which made Jing Yi feel that he had lost face.

Jing Tao rolled his eyes and said: "Father, how can you blame the child? When Prime Minister Zeng came to provoke my father, my father was timid and unwilling to contribute. You blame the child for not being able to see the real dragon. Later, the child will join the army, you If he didn't insist on joining the Han army, there wouldn't even be a count now. "

This boomerang hit Jing Yi was speechless for a long time. Who would have thought that Xu Fan, Zhou Zhang and their 800 prisoners would succeed in their rebellion against Qin Zhen. Even if this thing came true, Jing Yi couldn't believe it was true.

After a long time, Jing Yi sighed and said, "My father is short-sighted, otherwise you would be one of the eight great princes."

On the contrary, Jing Tao comforted him and said: "The world is not yet stable, and I still have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I also promise you that I will definitely earn the title of Duke."

Jing Yi said: "Your Majesty is generous, my son still has a chance! As a father, I also want to help you accumulate wealth. When you build a country, you will have enough money."

At this moment, Jing Tao's soldiers came in and shouted: "General, there is an order from the Taiwei Mansion, asking you to return to the military camp immediately."

Jing Tao immediately said to Jing Yi, "My child has to deal with military affairs."

Jing Yi said: "Do good work for Your Majesty."

Taiwei Mansion.

As soon as Jing Tao entered, he saw a military general saying something to His Majesty.

"His Majesty!"

Xu Fan said: "Jing Tao is here."

"Your Majesty is coming!" Chen Xiaodao came in and said.

"Everyone is here!" Then Xu Fan said seriously: "Bao Qin has been destroyed by our Han Dynasty."

Xu Fan pointed at Sishui County and said: "But Xiong Xin, King of Chu, and the others still slipped through the net. I intend to completely solve this last rebellion."

Xu Fan defined ambition and Song Yi as rebellion. Only in this way could the Han army legitimately attack them. Therefore, Xu Fan never admitted that Xiong Xin and the others were one of the anti-Qin forces, just to wait until today, when the Han army would be free to attack them. Destroy them.

"Han Xin!"

"The end will be here."

"I appoint you as the general of Zhonglang against Ni Chu. You go to Chen County to recruit 5 troops to kill Xiong Xin, King of Ni Chu for me."

Han Xin said: "The last general takes orders."

"Chen Xiaodao!"

"The general is here!"

"I appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, to supervise the military regulations and discipline of the army, and to record the merits of the soldiers."

"The general's order!"

"Jingtao!"

"The general is here!"

"I appoint you as the captain of the Yue Cavalry School and the deputy general of the rebel army. You will assist the general of the rebel army in the battle against Surabaya."

"The last general takes command!"

Then Xu Fan said to Han Xin: "I said I want the people of the world to recuperate, so you must fight beautifully and quickly in this battle, and don't let me down."

This is also the reason why Xu Fan appointed Han Xin as the commander-in-chief of the army. He was fighting a blitzkrieg and did not want to consume too many resources.

Han Xin said: "In the end, we will decide the battle at a fast pace so as not to disappoint His Majesty."

Han Xin and others led their personal guards all the way across Hangu Pass and entered Sanchuan County. Then they took a boat from Honggou to Chen County, where they issued conscription orders and began to form their rebellious army.

At the same time, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, Lu Chen, and Chen Xiao also completed their pioneering teams. During this period of time, with the recruitment of several people, their pioneering teams ranged from tens of thousands to many. Tens of thousands of people, with the assistance of the Han State, headed towards Longxi, Shuzhong, Qianzhong, and Liaodong.

As they moved forward, the world once again entered the era of great development.
