Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 192

"Master Shu is making trouble?" Fusu searched in his mind, but he didn't seem to have seen any similar documents. Immediately, he looked at Sima Chang suspiciously.

Sima Chang said: "Young Master, that happened in the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang. At that time, Prince Hui of the Marquis of Shu rebelled in Shu and rebelled against the Great Qin. Afterwards, Grandfather Gao was ordered to suppress the rebels, and finally put down the rebellion."

Hearing what Sima Chang said, Fusu understood that even though Bashu had been incorporated into the territory of Qin State during the time of King Huiwen, the policy of confinement was implemented for the land of Bashu. In fact, due to the difficult road, at that time The national strength of the Qin State is not very strong, and its control over the land of Bashu is still insufficient.

The king of Shu can only be conferred the title of Marquis of Shu as a restraint. Therefore, the land of Bashu has been repeatedly repeated, and it has not been many years since the real peace.

Sima Chang's words fell into the ears of the old man, but it was like thunder on the ground. The old man's eyes were full of disbelief, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Are you a descendant of General Sima?"

Sima Chang hastily helped the old man up, even Mr. Fusu treated the old man with courtesy, but he made the old man kneel down, what does the young master think?
Sima Chang respectfully said: "Old man, there is no need to be like this, Sima Cuo is my great-great-grandfather."

Seeing this scene, Fusu was secretly shocked. It seems that when Sima Cuo conquered Bashu that day, he not only conquered the land of Bashu for the Great Qin, but also conquered the hearts of the people of Bashu!

So that decades later, the people of Bashu are also grateful for him.

Fusu is excited about this like never before. The people of Bashu have a heart for Sima, and this move is right for Fusu.Because Sima Chang was originally an official of the Great Qin Dynasty, he could just use this public opinion to reduce many obstacles for what he wanted to plan.

Sima Chang glanced at Fusu out of the corner of his eye, and said with great interest: "Old man, this is a nobleman from Xianyang."

The etiquette shown by Fusu earlier made the old man very fond of him, and coupled with Fusu's familiar way of dealing with each other, Fusu and the old man talked about everything for a while.

Elder Sima also knew everything and said everything.

"Old man, as far as I know, the land in Linqiong has always been fertile, and I, Daqin, also built a city here. Why are all the agricultural tools in your hands made of wood?"

Speaking of this, the old man Sima also sighed, and said: "Young master, I don't know. We also know about the farm tools. The bronze farm tools and iron farm tools are fast, but we really can't afford them. Only those in the city The agricultural tools used in the fields of the noble family are made of iron."

"Can't afford it?" Fusu was surprised, the price was set to such an outrageous point that this situation was created.

"Who are those noble people?" Fusu asked suspiciously.

Elder Sima replied: "Of course it's the county guard, the county supervisor, and the chief bookkeeper! There are also the Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family." At this point, the old man Sima's words became low.

Obviously, for a long time, I have been exploited by these people a lot.

But Fusu changed the topic, now, Fusu can easily hide his emotions and anger, and at the same time asked about other things about Linqiong.

Elder Sima didn't have any scruples either, and confessed everything.

He quickly explained the situation here to Fusu clearly and clearly.

Back then, after Sima Cuo conquered Bashu, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the Qin court took good care of the people in Bashu.

For a time, the people in Bashu almost lived a life like heaven. Special officials came here to guide farming and teach them how to farm and harvest.

In addition, the tax is extremely low, and there are many policy support.

As a result, most people in Bashu had surplus food in their families. However, with the delay of time, due to the difficult road to Shu, the land of Bashu became a place far away from the emperor.

Some local people who were the first to get rich began to collude with county officials to hold power.

In the land of Bashu, tycoons began to appear.

The Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family mentioned by the old man Sima were both rich and wealthy households who migrated from the six kingdoms of Shandong to the land of Bashu after the first emperor ruled the world.

Compared with ordinary people, he is surprisingly sensitive about official affairs. In addition, he is good at calculating. For a while, outsiders such as Zhuo's family and Cheng Zheng's family were oppressed by the natives of Bashu.

Relying on the iron mines, the Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family quickly made a fortune. In just a few years, they have owned countless property, which is nothing compared to when they were in the six kingdoms of Shandong.

Among them, the Zhuo family has as many as 1000 servants, and even built an idyllic pool here, in which they can enjoy shooting and hunting.Compared with the general monarch, it is not inferior.

However, Cheng Zheng's financial resources are roughly equal to those of Zhuo's.

If this kind of situation happened in any of the six kingdoms of Shandong, Qin officials would come to the door within two days, and then they would face the disaster of destroying the family.

And because of the occlusion of the land of Bashu, no matter how rich and noble the Zhuo family and the Chengzheng family are in the land of Bashu, they enjoy the fun comparable to the kings. As long as they bribe the bureaucrats such as the county guards and county lieutenants, such news will not be spread. .

The county guard and the county lieutenant all benefited from this, so how could they leak this matter?
"It's really dead!" Fusu muttered to himself.According to old Sima, Zhuo and Cheng Zheng have accumulated more wealth than the residents of Yunnan and Shu in just a few years. Among them, the manufacture of ironware is basically monopolized by these two.

Therefore, the price of ironware is set extremely high, which is the final result of monopoly.As for the sale of iron wares, the Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family are not worried at all, because there are many small countries in the southwest, and the monarchs and nobles in them all have demand for them. Naturally, iron wares are not worried about sales.

As for the life and death of the people in Bashu, who will take care of it?They hope that these people will go bankrupt, and then they can buy them at a very low price and make them slaves.

Otherwise, where did Zhuo's so many servants come from?
As for the grain grown by the people of Bashu, even after it matured, these tyrants took the opportunity to lower the price of the grain and bought it at an extremely low price.

Hearing the old man Sima's narration, Fu Su laughed, but his face became colder and colder.

In the later generations, in those capitalist countries, the capitalists with power not only squeezed the residents of the colonies, but also sucked the bones of the people of their own countries.

There are no national boundaries in the eyes of capitalists, only interests!

This is even more so in this pre-BC society. These bureaucratic tyrants will not let go of any profitable opportunity.

It seems that he has to intervene in the affairs of Shu County!

He is the emperor's envoy, pretending to be the emperor's authority, and exercising the power of the emperor for the emperor, how can he ignore it?
