Chapter 259: Feng Quji asks about the future
Qin An accompanied Ying Zheng and handed the drawings of the loom to Ying Zheng.
"Village Chief, this is my new drawing. You can have it made by others, and then set up a weaving workshop outside." Qin An said.
Ying Zheng excitedly put the drawings into his arms and said: "Sir, don't worry, this time I go to the court, in addition to reporting on my duties, I also want to make arrangements in eight villages.
I will be my husband’s support, and we will leave together in three years. "
"Okay. Let's leave together in three years." Qin An said excitedly, "With the village chief's wealth and my ability, we can create our own world even outside."
"Haha..." Ying Zheng laughed happily, "Sir, you are so right, we can conquer a whole world."
"Sir, I will take everyone away this time, including the people from the Mo family and the Gongshu family. Only the people from the farm family will stay in Hushan to look for seeds.
When I come back next time, I will probably bring a lot of people with me, and the population of the village will exceed 10,000.
I wonder what impact it will have on Mr. "Ying Zheng said.
"No, if you want to say yes, it would be food, drink, toilet, and a place to live." Qin An said, "A house for 10,000 people, for a family of four, would require 2,500 rooms.
At present, there are only 1,000 houses, and 1,500 more are needed. This number is a bit large, but it is not a problem, as long as the people in the village put down their work and build houses together. "
"Don't worry about the house, I will arrange it. If not, let them squeeze in or live in the tent directly.
Wait until the house is built before living in the house. Things in the village are the most important, and nothing else is urgent. "Ying Zheng said.
"I understand, but if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If the roads are connected, you will be rich." Qin An said, "Since we can expand the village, we can build roads, so that the roads in the village and the villages in Shiliba Township are all made of cement. The road is built.
Then organize a caravan in the village to sell all the goods in the village to villages in eight villages.
It won't be long before everyone in the village will be rich.
When the time comes, I hope the village chief can issue an order that will be beneficial to the entire Zhaojia Village. "
"What order?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si and others on the side stared at Qin An very curiously.
"Abolish agricultural taxes and all labor services, and only retain military service." Qin An said.
"What?"
Everyone looked at Qin An in shock. Do you know what this means when agricultural taxes and all labor services are cancelled?
Ying Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Sir, although you mentioned this matter last time, you didn't give a reason. I'm afraid I can't do it.
I don’t have the final say in the village alone. If I eliminate labor and farm taxes, how am I responsible for anyone else? Especially the people who support us. "
Qin An hesitated for a moment and said to himself: "I just want the village chief and villagers to experience the feeling of no labor and agricultural taxes in advance.
The village head makes a lot of sense. The villages and towns are so backward that it is unrealistic for them to cancel agricultural taxes and labor.
Forget it, let’s go out first and let the government handle it later. "
After thinking about it, Qin An said: "That's fine, everything will follow the village chief's arrangements."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Then I began to listen to the story quietly.
Feng Quji then asked: "Sir, do you know Feng Quji?"
Qin An looked at Feng Quji suspiciously and joked: "Yes, I heard from your husband that the Second Emperor of Qin died, but who was the Second Emperor of Qin? There are so many ministers in the court, don't they know how to advise His Majesty the Second Emperor?
My ancestor was the Right Prime Minister, didn't he advise His Majesty the Second? "
"He must have a chance." Qin An said with a smile.
Ying Zheng, Li Si and other people who knew the inside story could only sigh helplessly, while Zhang Liang and other people who didn't know the inside story looked at Qin An.
Especially Feng Quji, he was even more curious and asked: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Feng Quji has been dismissed?"
"Just remove him." Qin An said, "He committed suicide, and he committed suicide together with his son Feng Jie."
"What?" Feng Quji stood up in shock.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Old Feng, sit down."
Li Si said: "Old Feng, don't be so excited. Sit down and listen to what the gentleman says carefully."
Feng Quji slowly sat down and said, "Sir, please elaborate."
"Actually, there is nothing to say." Qin An said, "When Li Si announced Hu Hai as the second emperor of Qin after the death of the First Emperor, he suspected that what Li Si announced was a false edict.
But there is no evidence, and since the matter has reached this point, we just let it go.
However, Hu Hai, a close confidant of the Second Qin Dynasty to Zhao Gao, hid in the palace to enjoy himself every day and left the government affairs to Zhao Gao.
Feng Quji couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to admonish Hu Hai. How could Zhao Gao give Feng Quji a chance? He directly charged him with arresting Feng Quji.
After Feng Quji got the news, he discussed it with his son Feng Jie and finally came to a decision that the general would not be humiliated.
So the two of them committed suicide. "
Feng Quji was shocked. The first emperor actually passed the throne to Hu Hai. Everyone thought that Fusu was the second emperor of Qin.
"Why did His Majesty the First Emperor pass the throne to Hu Hai?" Feng Quji asked again.
Suddenly, there was a thump in his heart, and he thought of a person, Zhao Gao.
At that time, Zhao Gao revealed some secrets. Could it be that Zhao Gao had done something to allow him to sit on the throne.
It was also because the First Emperor knew about this, that he returned to Xianyang City privately, saying that the First Emperor had been killed, and asked himself to summon an army to Zhaojiacun.
In fact, Zhao Gao wanted to kill the First Emperor and others to silence them, and then support Hu Hai.
God, I was lucky that I didn't agree at that time, otherwise the entire Feng family would be implicated by him.
Zhang Liang said at this time: "I know this. Mr. Mentioned it in the book "Chu-Han Hegemony", and even mentioned the demise of the First Emperor, Li Si and the Qin Dynasty."
Fu Sheng, Feng Yan and others immediately looked at Zhang Liang, not expecting that the book Zhang Liang had been reading recently contained these contents.
There was greed in their eyes.
Qin An said: "Mr. Zhang Fang, why don't you tell me."
"That's fine." Zhang Liang looked at Ying Zheng, "Village chief, can I say something?"
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "You are all people I trust. There is nothing I can't say. Just say it."
"promise."
Later, Zhang Liang told the causes and consequences of the death of the Second Emperor of Qin, but did not say anything about Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
Because Xiang Yu and Liu Bang may have no chance. Since there is no chance, don't harm them again.
Moreover, since the First Emperor knew about this, he did not kill them, but reused Xiao He and others. In other words, the First Emperor did not take these people seriously at all.
Some people died, but not completely...
