Thank you so much!
Hu Hai was extremely frustrated by the concern for Zhao Ying, but the First Emperor agreed with it and offered his sincere support.
"Xiang Yu is extremely brave and has ulterior motives. Apart from Ying'er, I'm afraid no one can control him. It's really inappropriate to stay with you..."
Hu Hai:......
Although the words were a bit heartbreaking, he himself knew that it was not appropriate for someone like Xiang Yu to stay by his side. If he had evil intentions one day, he would have no place to regret it.
I could only agree with a forced smile, and then felt that it seemed a little inconsistent with my status as an uncle in front of my own grandson, so I casually showed concern for Zhao Ying.
"Ying'er, you also have to be careful..."
Zhao Ying waved his hand with a smile.
"Uncle Eighteen, don't worry. People like this can't do any tricks in my hands. They can be destroyed with a backhand..."
Hu Hai:......
do not want to talk!
Farewell!
With the excuse that he still needed to go out on patrol, Hu Hai left without looking back.
Before they could go out, they heard that Aweng and Zhao Ying behind them had changed the topic from themselves to Xiang Yu.
"Although Xiang Yu is talented, your safety is the top priority. If I can use it for my own use, it will be a good thing. I can be a big help to you in the future. If not, just clean it up quickly... "
Then I heard Zhao Ying laughing.
"Okay, don't worry, eldest father. As long as I'm watching, he won't be able to come up with any tricks..."
Hu Hai couldn't help but speed up his steps.
…
At noon, after having lunch with the First Emperor, Zhao Ying stood up and left the palace. In addition to his duties as champion general and Hexi county governor, he also held the post of Jiangshan Shejisi.
I have been back for three days, and it would be outrageous not to go over and take a look.
The front hall of Abang Palace, Jiangshan Shejisi.
After not seeing each other for a few months, this place has become a bit bigger than before I left. In addition to the huge hall for making sand tables in the middle, there are dozens of rooms on both sides.
It is used by Jiangshan Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to store materials and files.
At this time, a huge sand table was placed in the center of the hall, and the adjustments to the Hexi Corridor were almost completed.
The coordinating envoy, Miss Wei Weiyang, was standing aside with the eunuchs on her left and right, discussing with a group of officials who were making drawings, making final adjustments.
"Here, and here, it needs to be raised a little bit..."
Everyone is staring eagerly at the map of the country, the country, and the country in front of them. The Hexi Corridor they are currently playing with was captured by their immediate superiors.
Everyone is honored!
Because they were too involved, when Zhao Ying approached, someone noticed Zhao Ying's arrival and hurriedly turned around and saluted.
"I have met the emperor's eldest grandson——"
When Wei Weiyang saw him coming, he couldn't help but smile like a flower and raised his slender hands covered with clay.
"Your Highness, you are here just in time. Come and take a look. Are there any mistakes or omissions in this Hexi Corridor?"
The little girl's complexion was rosy, her eyes were sparkling, her skin became more delicate and shiny, and her figure was even plumper.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it.
"good--"
Zhao Ying smiled and returned the favor, then stood next to Wei Weiyang very naturally, admiring everyone's masterpieces during this period.
"Not bad! It's done very delicately, everyone is interested -"
Zhao Ying carefully looked at the map of the country, the country, the country, and the country in front of him, with a look of admiration on his face.
Regarding this part of the Hexi Corridor, although I will not restore it one by one, the key points are already very close to the actual situation.
The results of months of hard work were recognized by the boss, and everyone couldn't help but smile happily.
"I don't dare. It's all up to His Highness to expand the territory and capture Hexi. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to accomplish this goal just by me waiting behind closed doors..."
Zuo Jiancheng Tu Yu sincerely raised his hand to Zhao Ying.
Although the Jiangshan Sheji Map of the Hexi Corridor has been continuously being produced and adjusted early in the morning, the progress has been slow. Many details were only completed after Zhao Ying took over the Hexi Corridor.
As a large amount of more detailed materials were sent back to Xianyang, their production progress was on the fast track.
Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hand.
"You don't have to be modest. I see all your hard work and contribution. I will ask the court for credit later. Well, I, as the chief official, will also express my gratitude and give everyone an additional month's salary... "
As soon as Zhao Ying said this, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
"Thank you, Your Highness for the reward——"
At this time, hearing the noise, the left and right ministers Chunyu Yue and Tian Shi, who were immersed in their work, also walked out of their offices.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——"
"You two don't need to be polite -"
Zhao Ying took two quick steps and helped the two old gentlemen up personally.
There were too many people talking in the main hall and it was not a place for conversation. Zhao Ying said a few polite words to the two old gentlemen and then invited the two old gentlemen and Miss Wei Weiyang to his office.
Although he has been away for a while, his office is still very tidy and must be taken care of daily.
The Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for policy promotion, collection of folk customs, promotion of military spirit and other matters.
Although Zhao Ying had a general understanding of part of the situation through the news from Tianxiang Pavilion, for more detailed information, he still needed to consult these two respected old gentlemen.
"Your Highness, the land of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, especially the land south of the Yangtze River, is full of resistance. Many Guizhou leaders disdain the policy propaganda and are even quite resistant..."
Having said this, Chunyu Yue sighed.
"I deeply studied the news that came back and found that it is not just the local people's problem, but our policy itself..."
Seeing that Zhao Ying's face remained as usual and his eyes were encouraging, Chunyu Yue smiled bitterly.
"Now I understand His Highness's good intentions in setting up storytellers and collectors - I didn't notice anything wrong with many policies in the past, but now as the storytellers and collectors go deep into the people, I understand more and more After reading the information, I suddenly realized that many of my past ideas were taken for granted..."
"For example, regarding the currency policy, although the imperial court issued an order to unify the currency and strictly stipulated the styles, specifications and materials of coins, many local people not only did not benefit from it, but suffered greatly from it..."
"The original local coins are not allowed to be used, but many local people cannot exchange the full amount of their own coins from the government - many people have fallen into extreme poverty..."
Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel heavy after hearing this.
Although a unified currency is indeed conducive to people's transactions, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Many policies that seem to have no problems will cause problems once they are implemented at the local level.
For example, the issue mentioned by Chun Yuyue just now.
After unifying the currency, what to do with the original currency in the hands of the people? We can't just say it is invalid. In that case, we don't have to wait until Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebel, and the local people will be in trouble.
No one can sit back and watch the wealth accumulated over generations disappear in one day.
The imperial court also knew this truth and allowed the people to exchange their own currency for Qin banliang at a certain ratio. But the problem is that the Qin Dynasty is different from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The nobles and wealthy merchants do not have the right to mint coins. The right to mint coins lies with the court.
The imperial court's coinage speed alone could not meet the actual exchange needs and circulation needs.
As a result, people in many places returned to the primitive stage of bartering, and some local unscrupulous subordinates and noble merchants took the opportunity to recycle old money at low prices and then exchange it with the government.
Under double-layer exploitation, many families that could barely survive have gone bankrupt...
After policies like this are implemented, deviations and problems of one kind or another will occur. In fact, these similar problems have appeared in other dynasties.
But the problem is that these policies harm the interests of too many people.
It turns out that everyone was happily minting coins together and exploiting the people. However, with a wave of your hand, Qin Shihuang took back our coinage rights...
Most of the means of production are under official control, and the commodity economy has fallen into semi-stasis.
Land is no longer allowed to be bought and sold, chariots and horses are no longer up to standard, and even offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods is illegal. In short, under the conflict of the local nobles and powerful powerful people, the people of Qin have not enjoyed the seemingly long-term policies. With so many benefits, they fell into even more poverty and embarrassment.
To make matters worse, there is Da Qin's harsh punishment system.
Make a few mistakes and it will be distributed directly. The south is different from the north. The weather is rainy. If you do the corvée service, if you encounter some bad weather or a few heavy rains, you will lose the chance. If you miss the chance, you will be killed!
Inexplicably, my head is gone!
It's impossible not to feel resentful.
Under such circumstances, simply preaching policies will have very little effect.
The information he got from Chunyu Yue and Tian Xi made Zhao Ying feel very heavy. Today, Da Qin's actual control is still in Guanzhong. The further away from Guanzhong, the lower the control.
Due to the collusion between local petty officials and local nobles, many policies were not adapted to the local climate.
If you want to change, it won't happen in a day.
Originally, he wanted to have an in-depth communication with Miss Wei Weiyang alone, but after hearing the reports from Chunyu Yue and Tian Qi, Zhao Ying instantly lost his mood.
He suddenly understood why in his previous life, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew were safe and sound after preparing secretly in Kuaiji County for so long.
But in this case, there was nothing he could do for the time being.
The only thing he can do is to continue to maintain the strong deterrence of Da Qin, and then try his best to recruit as many strong men as he can from future generations under his command.
Watch for yourself!
Then, figure it out slowly.
He believed that if the First Emperor could live a few more years, Da Qin would not be messed up by fools like Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, and Da Qin would be given more than ten years to recuperate, this series of problems would become problems facing development and disappear.
But there are no ifs in history.
After coming out of Jiangshan Shejisi, Zhao Ying took Xiang Yu to the recruit camp again. In fact, it can no longer be called the recruit camp, it should be called the Guards Camp.
More than two hundred legitimate sons of the Yuezhi nobles are currently stationed here temporarily.
When they saw Zhao Ying coming, they thought that Zhao Ying was going to take them to Xianyang City to have fun, so everyone was quite excited. result. Zhao Ying is here to check the learning progress of "Forging the Soul of the Army".
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
How can anyone learn this these days?
Zhao Ying frowned slightly and looked at Meng Yu.
Mengyu's scalp suddenly tightened and he explained in a low voice.
"General Qi, most of these people don't understand the Qin language and are new here - so I thought I could let them get familiar with the situation here first..."
Zhao Ying's face looked a little better now.
"Learning "Forging the Soul of the Army" is a top priority and cannot be delayed for a moment..."
Whether it can be forcibly brainwashed is one thing; whether you can do it or not is another thing.
In short, if you want to stay in Xianyang, you must first learn "Forging the Soul of the Army"!
This is a matter of principle.
Meng Yu didn't dare to say anything and kept saying yes.
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for a group of Confucian scholars to come over and teach them. You must cooperate well..."
"promise!"
It wasn't until Zhao Ying was far away from the Guards Camp that Meng Yu secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up, and strode back to the camp.
"Everyone gather and learn "Forging the Soul of the Army"——"
Although they were reluctant, they also knew that this was a task assigned by the terrifying Emperor Changsun, and they did not dare to complain. They could only pinch their noses and force themselves to carry it.
Quan should learn from the people of Qin.
…
"In the past few days, prepare well, take the martial arts exam in a few days, and come back with the top prize..."
Zhao Ying casually threw the reins to Xiang Yu who was following behind him, and gave instructions in a calm voice.
Xiang Yu:......
"Don't think that your strength is superior to others. You must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world——"
Seeing Xiang Yu's nonchalant expression, Zhao Ying reminded him casually, then took out a world map from his arms and threw it out with shaking hands.
"A man should not be like a frog in a well, but should look at the whole world - when you go back, take a good look at this map, and then tell me what you think..."
After saying that, Zhao Ying turned around and left.
Xiang Yu:......
Forget about being a halberd-wielding man, now he actually lets me, Xiang Yu, lead the horse and ride on it!
I was really frustrated when I suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a servant's blouse, with a white face and beardless face, handsome appearance, and a bit of femininity. He was holding a riding crop and walking slowly from the side with an expressionless face. Come.
Immediately waved.
"You - come here and send the horse over to me so that I can take good care of him!"
Zhao Gao:! ! ! ! ! !
It's okay for that thief Zhao Ying to bully me. Who the hell are you? You're just a little brat who leads a horse and falls off the pedal, but you dare to boss me around!
She glanced at him with a cold face, turned away, and walked away as if she hadn't heard anything.
Xiang Yu:! ! ! ! ! !
This is like a tiger being bullied by a dog. When he arrived at the eldest son's house, even a mere groom who raised horses dared to ignore him. It was really unreasonable!
Without thinking, as soon as he threw the reins, he wanted to rush forward and teach Zhao Gao a lesson.
Zhao Gao didn't even think about it. He shook his hand and whipped him with a riding crop.
A new boy also came to fuck me!
Xiang Yu never imagined that even the groom in this house would dare to do something to him. Without paying attention, he was almost slapped in the face by Zhao Gao.
