Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 11 Touring the Countryside
"A sage is a country, one reward, one punishment, one teaching..."

Fusu suddenly stopped and put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

His eyes seemed to travel through time and space, and he looked at the place where he was sitting just now. A hundred years ago, Shang Jun was sitting here and carried out a vigorous reform in Qin State.

From then on, Qin State got rid of the poverty in the past, washed away the humiliation of its ancestors, and became a big Chinese country that attracted the attention of the six countries. After six generations, it was finally in the hands of Ying Zheng, and the world was unified.

"Great unification, this is... the correct and only way for China." Fusu muttered to himself, his gaze turned to the old land of the six kingdoms in Shandong, and his gaze became firm.

He knew that on that piece of land, those nobles from the six countries who had been knocked to the ground harbored resentment and hid in the darkness, just waiting for an opportunity.

The world is falling apart, I will never allow such a thing to happen!

Fu Su was in a daze, he didn't notice that a person had come to his side, that person said: "Chen Zhang Han pays his respects to the young master."

"Han Gong, how is the progress of the blank paper?" Fu Su went straight to the point.

Fusu knew that this way of communicating with Zhang Han was the most effective and correct way to communicate with Zhang Han these days.

Since moving to Shangjun's old house, only Zhang Han can face Fusu directly without a pass. This is also Fusu's trust in Zhang Han.

"The blank paper matter is progressing smoothly. In one month, the Shaofu can produce [-] blank papers per month..." Zhang Han said meticulously.

Fu Su nodded slightly, Zhang Han was indeed reliable in his work.It has only been a while since Ying Zheng confessed, but now the situation seems to be on the right track.

"Han Gong, can you go for a walk in the countryside with me?" Fu Su looked at Zhang Han with a questioning look on his face.

"My son has an order, and the minister should follow me." Zhang Han did not refuse, and felt more and more that Fusu had the appearance of a wise king.

……

"Young master, this is the thousand acres of fertile land bestowed by His Majesty." Zhang Han shook his arm and pointed.

The 240-mu system of Qin Tianmu is one mu, and a thousand mu of land is now appearing in front of Fusu, and it is impossible to see the edge at a glance.

Fusu swept across the fields, and suddenly found that there were still some people in brown clothes working in the fields with bare feet.Can't help but ask: "Who are those?"

Zhang Han unconsciously showed admiration on his face, and said: "It's the ink masters in the Shaofu. Today is their holiday. Usually, they also bring money and silk to help the people everywhere in Guanzhong."

Mo family?

Fusu's heart was shocked. In later generations, he was a restorer of ancient crafts. Those ancient craftsmen's wild imaginations and wonderful ideas made Fusu feel sincere admiration for these craftsmen.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mohists were among the best.With the passage of time, the spread of wars, and the struggle of schools, led to the gradual decline of Mohism. The Mohism seen by later generations is just a glimpse, and the Mohism's work "Mozi" is still found in "Dao Zang".For the rest, there are only a few words left in the works of Zhuangzi, Mencius, and Lu Buwei.

This is a pity for China.

But now is the Qin Dynasty, Mohism is still widely spread in Guanzhong, Mohism's inheritance is still intact, Mohism thought should not be buried, and the unique skills of those skilled craftsmen should not be buried in the long river of history.

Promoting the great benefits of the world with the power of all kinds of crafts, and using the tools of all kinds of crafts to be the king of the world is the ideal world pursued by the disciples of Mohism all their lives.

For this ideal world, the disciples of the Mohist school can travel among the nations barefoot and in coir raincoats.For the sake of righteousness, you can go through fire and water without complaint or regret.For the great benefit of the world, you can go forward and succeed, and die without hesitation.

Countless Mohist disciples died in the wilderness, their corpses rotted with the grass and trees, and they didn't even leave their names.But even if this is the case, the Mohist disciples did it without blinking an eye.

An old man saw the two standing on the ground in gorgeous clothes for some time, so he couldn't help but boldly asked: "Where is the young master from?"

Fu Su waved his hands slightly, stopped Zhang Han's words, and said: "Old man, we are scholars in Xianyang City, and we went to the countryside to see the customs and customs."

"It turned out to be a nobleman in the city, sorry for my rudeness!"

Seeing that the old man was about to make amends, Fu Su held him up, "How can the elder make amends? It's the kid who is taking the liberty, and I didn't explain the reason to the old man first when I came here."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Fusu asked, "Old man, how much grain can one mu of land produce?"

"Last year, it was a good year. The neighbors harvested five shi per acre of land, and my family has five and a half shi." Speaking of these, the old man is also full of pride.

He is an experienced old farmer, he has a lot of experience in farming, and he has unique skills that he summed up.

"How much tax do you have to pay?"

When asked about this, the old man’s eyes flashed with bitterness, and he said: “Last year, I paid two stones for tax, three stones for fodder, and straw…”

Just after listening to the beginning, Fusu knew why the old man in front of him had such an expression. One mu of land only produced five and a half shi of grain, and he had to pay two shi of rent and taxes, plus some miscellaneous taxes. The livelihood of the family is not easy.

Fusu finally understood why after the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, the people in Guanzhong stood by while they marched into Xianyang, and why Prince Ying of Qin opened the city and surrendered as soon as Liu Bang's army arrived in Xianyang City.

It's not a voluntary surrender, but a forced surrender!

The people all over the world have suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time, and they all hoped that someone could overthrow the Qin court. At this time, someone stood up, and naturally everyone responded.

It's just that Fusu also understands that such things cannot be said to Ying Zheng.

Because Yingzheng is not ignorant, how can the emperor who plays with the world between applause and applause not know the pain and sorrow of the people.However, he will continue to do it.

For the dream of a strong and unified empire in his heart, Yingzheng believes that there is no one in the world who cannot be sacrificed, including his son Fusu.

Whoever dares to stand in his way will bear his wrath.And up to now, those who dare to stand in his way have turned into dry bones.

In the 20th year of King Qin, Jing Ke assassinated Qin. Yingzheng was furious and ordered general Wang Jian to lead his troops to attack Yan. After sending it to Xianyang, the Qin army stopped pursuing.

Pifu was furious, blood spattered five steps.When the emperor was angry, he bled and drifted away, laying down millions of corpses.

Fu Su knows that if he speaks rashly, it is very likely to be self-defeating, and instead ruin the current situation that he has managed to reverse.

"Old man, you rest for a while, I will help you for a while." Fusu said without any explanation, snatched the lei from the old man's hand, and walked down the field.

"This..." The old man looked at Zhang Han suspiciously, Zhang Han laughed, and said, "Old man, you also found a farm tool for me, today he and I are helping you."
