Li Shui slept in the alchemy room all night. After waking up, he called Wujiao and hurried to Xiaotu Village.
This is not because he wants to make a career, but because Da Qin's food is too unpalatable and this problem must be solved.
Last night, the villagers of Xiaotu Village had selected ten families to give up farming and follow Li Shui to find stones and make stone mills.
These people gave themselves a name, Craftsman House. The rest of the people are called farmers.
But when Li Shui saw the craftsman, he couldn't help but frown.
All these ten families lacked strong labor force. Basically, except for the powerful man who heads the household, the rest are the elderly and children.
Isn’t it a joke to grind with these artificial stones?
Li Shui deliberately sent them back and let Xiaotu Village hold new elections. But then I thought about it, forget it, since this is what everyone wants, then let’s do it.
In fact, Li Shui really misunderstood. These ten families were not elected at all, and there was no possibility of fair election in the Qin Dynasty.
Who becomes a farmer and who becomes a craftsman is actually determined by strength.
When Erhu wants to be a farmer, no one dares to stop him because he has a strong fist. The remaining nine families also used this method and said a few harsh words to become farmers.
So what was left were the honest ones, the thin ones, and the weak ones, who had no choice at all and were forced to become craftsmen.
The craftsmen actually wanted to fight for it and keep some private land, but the farmers did not allow it. They happily divided the fields early in the morning.
As a result, the craftsman family truly became destitute and destitute. They stood in front of Li Shui, their eyes were dull and despairing.
Li Shui didn't think much about it, because most of the ancient people he saw had dull eyes.
What surprised Li Shui was that Cang Fu was also among the craftsmen.
He looked at Cano in confusion: "Didn't you want to plow the fields yesterday? Why did you take the initiative to make a stone mill?"
Cano smiled bitterly and said: "Why did the villain come here on his own initiative? He is just old and frail, and there is only one little granddaughter in the family. We are weak, so we will be bullied. The villain's fields have been divided by them. , I dare not not come, the villain."
After hearing this, Li Shui couldn't help but look cold: "So, in a small village, there are still strong predators?"
The villagers all smiled bitterly.
Where in the world is there no law of the jungle? Didn’t Great Qin dominate the world by relying on the weak and the strong?
Li Shui took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter, whether you do it voluntarily or not. Since you have followed me, it is fate. I guarantee you that after ten days, those farmers will only be envious."
Seeing Li Shui's categorical statement, Cang Fu and others immediately became excited, thinking that Li Shui was going to pay another reward.
In the end, Li Shui just waved his hand and said, "Let's go, first go find a mason and teach you some skills."
The craftsmen were a little disappointed. But now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? So they followed him with dull expressions.
…………
Li Shui left, and the farmland of Xiaotu Village was full of bustling labor.
The farmers are digging ditches in the middle of the fields according to Li Shui's instructions.
Only half of the farmland can be planted, but at least each household's farmland has increased from 40 acres to 80 acres, correspondingly doubling the area. Calculated this way, there will be no shortage of food this year. So... no one wants to get in trouble with Li Shui. It's just a few trenches, just dig them.
These farmers are all working conscientiously, except Erhu.
Erhu is packing his bags, and he plans to go to Xianyang City to file a complaint.
Erhu not only has strength, but also has brains.
He knew very well that if he worked hard in farming, he might be selected as a field official. However, this kind of official is not popular at all, and his status is humble. It is more like an honor. When meeting a real official, even a small official in the city, he must nod and bow.
So he chose another path, he wanted to report adultery. Once successful, the benefits will be huge.
Erhu has already seen that Li Shui is either rich or noble. It is difficult to sue such a person, but once the defendant is defeated, the benefits will be huge.
At that time, the two tigers will receive a great reward, and maybe they will soar to the sky, from a lowly Guizhou leader to a real official.
The more Erhu thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and his mouth was almost watering.
With long strides and fast speed, it took Erhu a quarter of an hour to reach Xianyang City.
He did not rush to the government to report rape. He is very smart and knows that it is not easy for the people to sue the officials. In the officialdom, officials protect each other, and he can fall into other people's ways if he is not careful. When the time comes when the accusation is unsuccessful and you are falsely accused, it will be over.
So Erhu planned to inquire first to see where the new owner of Xiaotu Village came from. Does he have any enemies in court? If his enemy can be found, then the complaint will be almost certain. Maybe after the thing is done, you can still get the appreciation of that adult.
It has to be said that Erhu's reincarnation skills are not good. If he had been born into a family of princes, generals and prime ministers, his achievements would have been higher than that of Wang Li.
Erhu walked around Xianyang City and then entered a wine shop called Zuixianjiu.
The wine shop is a good place to find out information.
Erhu took out a string of Qin Banliang, which was given to them by Li Shui.
He took one off and bought a bowl of wine to drink.
According to the custom of Xiaotu Village, Erhu took a sip cherishedly, and then thought with emotion: "It's different in Ducheng. The wine in Ducheng really doesn't have a bitter taste. It's just that... the wine doesn't seem to have enough flavor. Could it be that this Is it the feeling of a wealthy person?"
While he was tasting the wine, he heard the boss sighing to the landlady: "Master Huaiguzi's dragon has come to an end, but the money has not been sent out for a long time. What can I do?"
Erhu was stunned for a moment: "Huai Guzi? The owner of Xiaotu Village seems to be called Huai Guzi too."
So Erhu asked loudly: "Boss, who is the Huaiguzi you are talking about?"
The boss had already seen his string of Qin Banliang, and he was happy to chat with him a few more words, hook his wine bug, and sell him a few more bowls of wine.
So the boss started talking about it vividly, saying that Huaiguzi had received the guidance of an immortal and cured Mr. Fuyao's ulcer disease. Why is Huaiguzi both wise and brave? Wang Ben and Wang Li are so overwhelmed that they cannot lift their heads. The Sophora japonica and the millet were highly appreciated by the king, and he was given a mansion with a thousand acres of fertile land in the west of Xianyang City.
When Erhu heard this, he understood: "The Huaiguzi mentioned by the boss must be the new owner of Xiaotu Village. So, he and Wang Li are enemies?"
Erhu knew Wang Li and knew that he was the grandson of General Wang Jian and the son of Wang Ben. He was the queen of the general and held a high position of authority.
As long as such a person obtains evidence of Huaiguzi's crime, and the evidence is conclusive, it should not be difficult to bring down a sorcerer with a weak foundation.
Erhu became more and more excited, chatted with the boss for a few more words, and then left in a hurry. He wanted to go to Wang Li's mansion to ask for an audience with Wang Li and sue Huaiguzi.
