Within a moment, Dunrui was already standing in front of the First Emperor.
"See Your Majesty!"
After bowing and saluting, he stood weakly and quietly waited for the First Emperor's instructions.
"Find out the taxation status of Che Linli over the years before Zhao Si went to sea."
"only!"
…
Dunruo's work was very efficient. After more than half an hour, Che Linli's taxation situation in previous years was placed in front of the First Emperor's desk.
Thanks to Da Qin's detailed administrative system and official document backup, even official documents from more than ten years ago are sealed and archived, so that they are not without evidence.
The First Emperor carefully read through the specific tax situation in Chelin.
Ji Chang's family has indeed paid more taxes than ordinary families in the past few years. According to records, the Ji family has been awarded a first-class title for overpaying taxes in consecutive years.
Yes, in Da Qin, if you farm the land well and pay a lot of taxes, you can also be awarded a title.
This payment is mostly based on proportion rather than quantity.
For the same field, you pay the same 50%. If your land is planted better and you harvest more food, you will naturally pay more taxes, and you will get corresponding rewards.
In essence, this is a production incentive measure. In order to encourage people to cultivate intensively and tend their crops carefully, the assessment standard is based on the average yield per mu, rather than the total amount of taxes paid.
Not only the Ji family... the First Emperor noticed that there were several families in Chelin whose grain production was obviously abnormal.
The yield per mu is about two hundred kilograms, which is high enough, but not so high as to be exaggerated.
"Two hundred pounds..."
"Three hundred pounds..."
"Until Zhao Si was drafted and went to sea, the yield per mu was nearly 400 kilograms..."
It is very easy to calculate the specific yield per mu by paying taxes. In the year when Zhao Si went to sea, the Ji family's grain yield per mu was nearly 400 kilograms.
"It should be because Zhao Si got older and gradually began to take care of the farm work with his family." The First Emperor thought secretly.
The First Emperor was not a king who would not eat minced meat. Although he regarded the people of the world as a tool to achieve his goals, the First Emperor was extremely clear about the current living conditions of the people.
If it were not clear enough, the First Emperor would not be able to perform extreme operations and squeeze out every ounce of national power that Qin could use.
The childhood of children born in Guizhou is probably in the fields. They grow up here and often start to do some farming within their ability when they are five or six years old.
The abnormal taxation in Chelin was not limited to Jichang's family. The First Emperor noticed that there were several families whose yields per mu had increased significantly.
This is normal. Farmer children are playing in the fields and cannot just focus on their own fields.
"For farming in Guizhou, people often provide their own grain."
The First Emperor looked at the food production situation of the Ji family after Zhao Si went to sea.
"Five years...five years later, the grain yield per mu has actually dropped to two hundred kilograms." The First Emperor frowned slightly.
Relevant official documents from Chelinli also recorded that due to the serious decline in yield per mu, the Ji family was considered to have failed to manage farming attentively, and was therefore fined a tax of one kilogram.
The First Emperor continued to read and found that the Ji family's current yield per mu was the same as that of most people.
Since Zhao Si went to sea, the yield per mu barely remained unchanged in the first three years. From the third to the fifth year, the grain yield per mu began to decline sharply. From the fifth to the tenth year, the grain yield per mu began to slowly decline again to normal grain yield. Condition.
"These seeds... can only be cultivated for ten generations at most, and they will return to their original form."
The First Emperor knocked on the table... his brows were filled with deep thought.
Everything Zhao Si said has been verified. Zhao Si did not lie. There is no need to ask the crew. Zhao Si had the function of increasing the production of crops and grains before going to sea.
Not only is there no need to ask the crew, but it is basically certain that the abnormality in Zhao Si has nothing to do with going out to sea to find immortals.
The problem currently facing the First Emperor is that Zhao Si's slightly nonsense statement is actually fucking true.
He can actually increase grain production just by standing in the grain field, and even make grain seeds have high-yielding functions, which lasts for three years and then continues to decline.
What the fuck is this walking humanoid Xiangrui?
There are some things that cannot be explained. The First Emperor remembered a mysterious thing that happened a long time ago.
In the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, the Qin Dynasty raised troops to destroy the Qi Dynasty, which completely ended the Warring States Period. The world was unified and the Qin Dynasty was unified.
The First Emperor was overjoyed and the whole world celebrated. At the same time, officials from various places were ordered to collect miraculous and auspicious things and report them to the imperial court.
That is to say, in the autumn of this year, Hanoi County reported that Zhao, the wife of Xu Wang, the magistrate of Wencheng County, gave birth to a daughter. She was holding a jade piece on which the Bagua diagram of King Wen was faintly visible. It is truly miraculous that this girl can speak when she is only a hundred days old. When the First Emperor heard the news, he also thought it was a good omen and ordered him to give Xuwang a hundred yi of gold to raise his daughter well.
In order to express his gratitude to the First Emperor for his kindness, Xu Wang named his daughter Xu Mofu, which means Mo negative for the emperor's grace.
The First Emperor had seen this child with his own eyes. The child's miracle was not a fake story. Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have rewarded Xu Wang's daughter alone at a time when people all over the world were scrambling to report good luck.
Calculating the time...Xu Mohei at this time is already in his teens...
Some people's supernatural powers are innate and cannot be explained by common sense.
Obviously, Zhao Si can be classified here.
And compared to Xu Mohui... Zhao Si's miraculous powers were even greater.
Because Zhao Si's magic can affect the growth of crops and grain yield per acre.
Qin built a country based on farming and warfare!
Farming is the foundation of a country!
Zhao Si can forcefully double the yield of grain seeds per mu. What kind of concept is this?
If there was such auspiciousness in the world, objectively speaking, the First Emperor would bring all the civil and military officials to pray to heaven and earth!
Fortunately, Zhao Si was a human being, otherwise the First Emperor might have to pay homage to Zhao Si.
That's all Zhao Si brought back three new grains: sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn... and they can also improve grain seeds.
What the fuck is this walking humanoid Xiangrui?
Objectively speaking, if Zhao Si is regarded as auspicious, all the auspiciousness of visions will be eclipsed in front of Zhao Si.
If you have to measure Zhao Si's value, half of the Qin Dynasty may not be able to compare with one Zhao Si.
During the Warring States Period, this was the kind of treasure worth ceding dozens of cities to.
"You will be responsible for any actions of Zhao Si in the future. If there is any risk to his safety, kill him first and report later. Do whatever is convenient." The First Emperor looked at Dunwei with a solemn gaze.
I was stunned for a moment...
"Anyone! If Zhao Si dies, everyone dies!" The First Emperor's eyes were terrifyingly heavy.
In just a short moment, the First Emperor made the most correct choice.
Zhao Si! It is a national treasure comparable to half of the Qin Dynasty.
Why half? Because Zhao Si cannot permanently improve grain seeds, the improvement brought by Zhao Si is recessionary.
Following Zhao Si's departure to the sea, more than ten years later, the Ji family's and even the entire Chelin's grain yield returned to normal.
For the First Emperor, this was somewhat of a regret.
But precisely because of this, Zhao Si's safety becomes even more important.
It's a simple question. No matter how many seeds Zhao Si cultivates, as long as Zhao Si dies, Da Qin's grain output will be completely reduced to its original shape in more than ten years.
Objectively speaking, Zhao Si's safety is more important than the gains and losses of half of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, the First Emperor issued the highest level of protection order to Dunrui.
In fact, the First Emperor subconsciously planned to hide Zhao Si's abnormality.
This is the real weapon of the country!
The value of Zhao Si alone is immeasurable. All the contributions of Zhao Si and the military achievements of everyone in the world, including Wang Jian. It was eclipsed in front of Zhao Si.
This is the kind of thing that...if it cannot be obtained, must be destroyed...
And obviously, the First Emperor had already obtained it.
This kid Zhao Si is really scary, and he doesn't hide it from himself.
After all, Zhao Si is someone who can express his concerns to his face that he thinks he has taken the elixir secretly.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Si had spent a lot of effort cultivating grains at such an unseasonable time, and he might have been waiting for this day.
This kid Zhao Si is just here to save seeds.
This kid has never thought about hiding his secrets. It is very likely that Zhao Si was already prepared to donate the grain seeds when he planted them.
"Zhao Si's brother..." The First Emperor looked at Dunruo and motioned for Dunrui to comment.
"He is quite brave and can also read and write. He is a little smarter than ordinary people." He said softly, and his evaluation was quite satisfactory.
The First Emperor nodded...
"Destroy all these memorials." The First Emperor looked at Dunrui.
Dun Ruo was slightly shocked when he heard this.
Dunwei was a little confused, but he also knew that there must be something fishy.
After reading it, the First Emperor issued the highest level of protection for Zhao Si.
Objectively speaking, the First Emperor's protection level was only at this level, and Zhao Si's protection level was even higher than that of the eldest son Fusu.
Not only that, the First Emperor also ordered all relevant records to be destroyed.
What did the First Emperor value so much? In other words, what qualifications does Zhao Si have for the First Emperor to value so much?
Dunruo believed that the answer was hidden in these bamboo slips. Unfortunately, the First Emperor had ordered them to be burned, and Dunruo's doubts could not be explained.
He was a smart man, and he would not get to the bottom of things that the First Emperor did not want to say.
"Bi Ji became Yilang..." The First Emperor rubbed his brows.
This kid Zhao Si... has posed a big problem for himself.
This kid is not ordinary important, but also frighteningly frank. God knows if this kid has ever told these things to outsiders.
Generally speaking, the normal process for obtaining auspiciousness is to tell the world.
To put it bluntly, I just open the loudspeaker of the whole server to publicize that I have obtained good things and let you know that destiny is mine.
So is Zhao Si considered auspicious? Of course!
If it comes to the sacrifices thousands of years from now, Shennong may not always have to accompany him.
But this auspiciousness is too great...
There are not many people who love Qin in the world, but there are definitely not a few who hate Qin.
Compared with construction, destruction is obviously easier. The First Emperor never overestimates the moral standards of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
If they can't get it, they will find ways to destroy it. This is their usual practice.
It is not a wise choice to push Zhao Si to the forefront and face risks and ups and downs.
(besides)
