Ji Cheng fell into confusion again...
His elder brother Ji Si took the lead on his behalf. Ji Cheng only found out recently.
As a beneficiary, he had no right to blame anyone, but he also truly lost his brother who had been protecting him.
Ji Cheng wanted too much to call him "big brother" again.
But...how should he deal with feeling guilty? He didn't know what to do, he just hoped that his brother could still remember his younger brother.
I can still remember this home!
Ji Cheng's depressed mood could not affect the excitement of the civil and military officials present.
Under the leadership of the Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, the officials began to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth skillfully.
Hmm...why are you so skilled?
The officials began to harvest the grains with some numbness in their happiness. In the past, when encountering such auspiciousness, the sense of ritual must be full.
As for now, the officials just want to skip the complicated ceremony and just see the production.
It's not that I'm unhappy anymore, it's just that I'm a little numb with happiness.
The ritual music started, and all the civil and military officials kowtowed once again.
Compared with before, the kowtow this time was obviously less sincere, and the officials no longer cried with emotion because of happiness.
Under Wang Wan's orders, the soldiers stepped into the fields to harvest.
In the busy plowing field, hundreds of officials were standing there, and even Ji Chengdu looked at the fields expectantly.
Hey, these things were grown by my brother.
Although they haven't recognized each other yet, Ji Cheng is proud of you!
This is my brother!
After a long wait, the grain harvest was finally completed.
The officials were no longer as patient as before and couldn't wait to ask about the yield per mu.
The results obtained were within expectations and are still exciting.
Yellow rice, yields four stones and six bushels per mu!
The yield of rice is six stones and four bushels per mu.
The yield of soybeans is four stones and seven buckets per mu.
There is also a bumper harvest of hemp, but the increase in the yield of this thing does not seem to be very large.
In general, in addition to hemp used for textiles, the output of yellow rice, rice, and soybeans has generally more than doubled.
Of course, what is being calculated now is the output before shelling. After shelling, there should be a certain amount of fluctuation in output. However, in this era, Guizhou is not qualified to eat refined rice, so calculating the output without shelling is not wrong.
"A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest!"
All civil and military officials once again kowtowed to the mountains and rivers.
Zhao Si left, otherwise he would have to kneel here and kowtow as if he were pounding garlic.
"It's strange... I heard that the output has clearly doubled, but I don't think it's that special." An official said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there were thousands of kilograms of immortal food per mu of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and there was a bumper harvest of millet in the past. After this year, there was a lot of worship to heaven and earth. There was also wheat in the back. At that time, Zhang Yushi was probably I just feel that the etiquette is cumbersome..."
The officials chatted with each other with smiles on their faces.
A good harvest is always the most soothing thing. Everyone's face is filled with the joy of harvest, but now they don't make as much fuss as before. They smile and communicate about their changes in mentality, which feels like Versailles.
"The harvest is so great that all the officials are overjoyed!" Feng Jie looked at Wang Wan with a smile and joked.
"Haha... I've seen it so often. One day, the common people in the world will only think that this kind of output is ordinary!" Wang Wan stroked his gray beard with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Not only that, if the output is only three or four stones, people will still lament that this year's harvest is bad..."
Although... he was a little numb with happiness, it was undeniable that the future of Great Qin was being planted in this land.
…
On the other side, Dongjun is where the First Emperor stayed.
Li Sizai was still strictly scrutinizing the officials in Dongjun.
If you are weak, you will bury your head and catch people coolly.
Dun Rui's ability is trustworthy, otherwise the First Emperor would not have given such an important task to Dun Rui.
However, this time it involves too much scope and depth, and it is no longer just a matter of assassinating the king and killing the driver.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
There is no problem with Qian Mo, the governor of Dongjun. He is not bad, he is just plain stupid.
Of course, because of his stupidity, he was completely crucified, and there was no possibility of his coming back.
If the chief official of a county does not act and does not exercise his rights, these rights will not disappear, but will be dispersed and transferred to the hands of other people.
Officials and local nobles colluded with each other...
The problems in Dongjun were so big that most of the currencies used in private transactions were Wei copper coins, or even barter.
As for Qin's money, it was hoarded by the nobles.
There is no way, Qin money retains its value and is valuable.
Not to mention land annexation, the current land policy implemented by Da Qin is private ownership, and the land policy is one hundred acres for one man.
That is, a household has 100 acres of land. Of course, this 100 acres is not a fixed number, but a rough average value, which will fluctuate depending on the availability of good land. However, when Li Si checked the land situation, he found that the average value had dropped to more than 60 acres. …
How long has it been since Dongjun was incorporated into the rule of the Qin Dynasty and implemented the land policy of one man per hundred acres?
In the entire Dongjun, there are probably not many officials from top to bottom who are clean.
Li Si immediately ordered the sealing of the account books of various places under the jurisdiction of Dongjun, and at the same time began to urgently transfer officials from Guanzhong.
But if you are weak, you will catch people.
No matter if you are an associate of assassins or you are corrupting the rule of law, you will not mind arresting a few more people if you are weak.
So in just ten days, nine officials in Dongjun were dismissed on the spot, more than 100 officials were dismissed on the spot, and the prisons in various parts of Dongjun were overcrowded.
After all, it was the First Emperor who endorsed it, and there were hundreds of officials accompanying him to maintain the operation of the Dongjun government. Dunwei didn't have to worry about arresting too many people and causing administrative paralysis.
So Dunruo made a decision to urgently recruit civilians to build a prison.
If you are a local official, you may also worry about risks such as administrative paralysis caused by public outrage.
Dunruo is the central official, and the First Emperor is still sitting here.
Not to mention administrative paralysis, even if Dongjun rebels, it can be suppressed instantly.
The civil and military officials accompanying the First Emperor will not lack generals who can lead troops.
"Unfortunately, there are not many big fish..." Li Si frowned.
Sure enough, it was exactly as Zhao Si expected. The real nobles would not violate laws and disciplines, they would only use the law.
This is the most terrifying thing about the great nobles. They strictly abide by Qin's laws and leave no clues, but they are real worms.
There was a lot of ups and downs in East County this time, but there were a few people who managed not to cause any trouble.
"The Chen family..."
Li Si silently wrote the four characters "Chen Family of Dongjun" on top of the moving order.
It doesn't matter, you can't just raid the house, then just follow the moving order and move happily.
Dongjun doesn't need such a wealthy and prestigious aristocrat, and neither does the world.
Li Si was taking notes in a notebook while searching his house, while Zhao Si, the First Emperor's loyal charioteer, was still lying on the bed.
In fact, after more than ten days, Zhao Si's waist no longer hurts so much.
However, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the bones. Because of Xia Wuji's instructions, Zhao Si could only continue to lie on the bed bored.
Li Si came over a few times, but most of the time he took the time to come over and laugh at Zhao Si. Later, Zhao Si simply chose to stay behind closed doors.
Other officials also visited several times, but Zhao Si declined them one by one.
Fortunately, his friend Wang Li was bored because he was dismissed from his post. He came over to gossip with Zhao Si about what happened recently, so that Zhao Si could not be so bored.
As for the First Emperor... he never came even once.
However, there was only a wall between Zhao Si's ward and the place where the First Emperor slept.
There is no palace in Dongjun. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty chose to stay temporarily for a long time. It was impossible to build one now. He could only requisition government buildings to accommodate him.
At this time, the distinction between inside and outside is not so clear.
Zhao Si's ward was a separate courtyard, but his bedroom and the place where the First Emperor rested and worked were actually back-to-back separated by a wall.
This was good, at least it would not affect Zhao Si's continued use of the raw jade halo to help the First Emperor stabilize his physical condition when he was lying in bed unable to move.
"Although it will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but with the halo of raw jade, I guess it won't have much impact if it takes another three to five days." Zhao Si lay on the bed and counted the time with his fingers. .
"If it gets better quickly enough, we should be able to make it in time to see the excitement in East County."
According to Wang Li's dictation, it is no longer enough to arrest people and put them in jail, and they have not yet been liquidated.
However, we have almost caught them recently, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the complete liquidation is over. By then, I am afraid that there will be a real river of blood!
Zhao Si estimated that he would not miss such a wonderful scene.
"I really thought the First Emperor had no temper." Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.
Huan Zulong died this year...
"Well... having said that Xu Fu's head has been sent back, objectively speaking, the Zulong may really be dead this year, but it is just Fusang's Zulong."
Zhao Si thought out of boredom that he was indeed very bored. Anyone lying on the bed every day would inevitably be bored, especially in this era without mobile phones or TV.
Even if there is a pleasing maid by his side, it won't work. There is no other way, Zhao Si hurt his waist.
He even had to try his best to suppress his thoughts. Now he had a silver pewter gun head that couldn't move and was angry. It was not easy to press the gun when his waist was injured.
Under this situation, Zhao Si could only think divergently in boredom.
Even the globe he ordered for the First Emperor was completed early.
Because he carves wood when he has nothing to do, Zhao Si is good at craftsmanship, but now he is very bored. In addition to the globe, Zhao Si is also planning to carve some airplanes and cannons for the First Emperor.
Just for my own bad taste.
At the moment, Zhao Si's bedside displays a completed globe, a semi-finished airplane, and a semi-finished tank.
"It's been more than ten days, and I haven't seen His Majesty... Sure enough, I still serve the king when it is useful, but I just ignore it because it hurts my waist." Zhao Si teased in private.
The words are not finished yet!
Suddenly I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
Then I heard the sound of saluting in unison.
"See Your Majesty!"
There is no doubt that the First Emperor is here!
