Social contradictions will never disappear.
But is there really such a big conflict between the First Emperor, and even the Qin Dynasty, and thousands of Guizhou leaders and even the lower class scholars?
Not really.
The root conflict between the First Emperor and Li Shu was that taxes and corvee were too heavy, but this conflict can be resolved and reduced.
The reason why the leaders of the Six Kingdoms of Guizhou regarded the First Emperor as an enemy and created an incompatible situation was largely due to man-made conflicts.
Anyway, the First Emperor is not a good person. If local officials want to be corrupt, they can use the king's orders as a pretense, and local nobles can blame the First Emperor for exploiting the people.
The head of Guizhou had nowhere to vent, and all his anger was directed at the First Emperor.
In the past, there was no way. Da Qin was inherently at a disadvantage in the battlefield of public opinion.
Now, posting notices to spread the word is just the first step for Da Qin to issue a declaration to express its attitude.
Regardless of whether it can be implemented or not, at least we must tell the people that the exploitation you are suffering does not come from the Qin Dynasty but from the First Emperor.
From then on, Da Qin regained its lost credibility in local administration step by step.
However, Zhao Si now only has a vague idea and will not be able to come up with a charter for a while. He still needs to continue to think about specific strategies.
Li Si acted very quickly after getting Zhao Si's advice. After all, it was about people's livelihood. The most important thing was that Da Qin and the First Emperor could no longer take the blame for those remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
We can no longer tolerate the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and local officials hoarding goods while guiding public opinion.
Soon, a large number of notices printed from Xianyang were sent to counties, counties and villages all over the country.
Need a lot of paper? Then first stop the supply of official paper and Qinlu printing.
Not printing fast enough? Then print and copy manually.
In short, be sure to post notices everywhere as soon as possible!
After that, Li Si also began to use his power as the leader of the three princes. Every time he went to a place, he would order local officials to publicize the promotion of affordable fairy grains, and at the same time dispatch officials to supervise the implementation.
As a result, the speed of the Emperor's drive slowed down again.
It is impossible to put an end to hoarding and the greed of the nobles. The prices of grains in various places remain high. However, due to various actions, the object of the conflict has quietly shifted, and the anger and complaints of the people are no longer directed only at the First Emperor.
…
"It's rare for the King of Qin to be kind to something that a dog gets into!"
On the empty farmland, Liu Bang worked hard for a long time and finally completed the cultivation. He threw the hoe on the ground and spoke angrily.
Naturally, Peixian County also posted notices announcing the promotion of low-cost vaccination.
Liu Bang was literate and could naturally read clearly.
I was still thinking about what King Qin had finally done.
He didn't get much grain seeds last year. Although the yield was high, it wasn't enough for sowing. If he wanted to sow seeds, he had to find ways to buy more grain seeds.
It was rare for Liu Bang to praise the First Emperor for his order to promote food at a fair price. After all, it was closely related to his interests.
I happily took the money and planned to buy sweet potato, potato and corn seeds through the government, but was told that they had been sold out.
Wherever it was sold out, it was clear that there was no profit, and the officials directly resold it to merchants at a higher price.
There was no other way, so I dragged Xiao He away and doubled the price to buy enough grain for farming.
"We are pretty good. With Xiao He's relationship, we can buy it at double the price. The grains in the hands of those merchants are now five or six times higher than the official price." Fan Kuai spread his hands. .
Fan Kuai naturally also bought sweet potato, potato and corn seeds this year.
There is no way, the output is too high.
The most important thing is that the big brother Liu Bang is a real farmer, and Fan Kuai has seen the yield with his own eyes.
Regardless of whether it is wet food or cheap food, the first factor that most people at the bottom consider is always to fill their stomachs.
Only on the basis of filling our stomachs can we talk about other things.
The more food you can harvest, the more children you can feed. The more children you can feed, the more prosperous the family is.
Fan Kuai also bought it through Xiao He's channel at double the price.
Not only Fan Kuai, but also Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, Wang Ling and others also bought fairy grain seeds.
However, the amount purchased is not consistent depending on the family situation.
The people who live the best life are the petty officials who eat from the government. What family dares to think that food is cheap?
Wet food? What happened to wet food?
The yield of sweet potatoes was two thousand kilograms. If he was poisoned and died from eating it, he would have to say that he was in poor health.
"Businessmen with dogs would have to pick out toads and urinate on them." Liu Bang opened the kettle and took a sip of fruit wine and handed it to Fan Kuai.
Low-quality fruit wine tastes sour, but Liu Bang's family cannot afford to drink grain wine.
"If you don't tell me, the officials in Peixian County will not do anything." Fan Kuai raised his head and took the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Liu Bang quickly grabbed Fan Kuai's arm, pulled Fan Kuai's head over and took the wine bottle back.
"This is all I have left."
After taking back the jug, Liu Bang put the jug into his arms and said, "You said these sweet potatoes are considered food, and you don't know if they can be used to make wine?"
"How would I know? Even if I could, I wouldn't know it. Why do you want to do this?" Fan Kuai turned away and asked.
"The yields of these three kinds of fairy grains are high. But if everyone grows fairy grains and the yields are higher, how can the price go up? If I only rely on a few acres of land, I probably won't be able to make a living." Liu Bang sighed.
"That seems to be the truth?" Fan Kuai scratched his head.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll just become the little widow in the tavern." Fan Kuai chuckled, earning a kick from Liu Bang.
Fan Kuai, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, got up from the ground and patted his butt. He looked at Liu Bang, only to find a rare melancholy on Liu Bang's face.
"Brother, why are you acting like this? Are you unhappy?" Fan Kuai suppressed his smile and sat next to Liu Bang.
"I am now nearly fifty years old..." Liu Bang sighed.
"The years are wasted, I am mediocre, my family business is not completed, and I am approaching old age..."
Liu Bang is not young.
In fact, Liu Bang was only three years younger than the ancient First Emperor. Today, Liu Bang is already forty-six years old. In this era, he can be called an old man, even an elder.
"I was thinking before that if the output of this fairy grain is really several thousand kilograms, and my eldest brother gives me a few acres of thin farmland, I can support myself and find a wife, but this grain is so cheap...
I am over forty years old, I have no merit, and my family has no business. I can only rely on these grains to fill my stomach and cannot do anything else. "Liu Bang raised the wine bottle, took a sip but stopped.
"Brother, what are you talking about!" Fan Kuai quickly denied it after hearing this.
"My eldest brother has great ambitions and is a person who wants to do big things. Don't you often say that Baili is nothing..." Fan Kuai scratched his head.
"Baili ridiculed him in the market..." Liu Bang was amused by Fan Kuai.
"But even these things were told to me by Xiao He." Liu Bang was silent for a long time.
"Fan Kuai?"
"Hey!" Fan Kuai smiled and moved closer.
"Can people like me really achieve great things?"
Liu Bang is no longer young.
Underneath the dissolute appearance, there is a desire for recognition, a desire to get ahead, and an ambition to achieve something.
However, he had no family background, no connections, and he didn't even read many books. Sometimes Liu Bang himself would doubt himself.
"What..." Fan Kuai scratched his head.
"There will always be a Bole who shows off the thousand-mile horse like Big Brother!" Fan Kuai thought for a long time and finally came up with an appropriate metaphor.
"Brother must be a thousand-mile horse!" Fan Kuai said seriously.
"But where is my Bole?" Liu Bang shook his head, full of doubts.
These days, even the grains grown on the land can be hoarded. Is it really possible to make a living on a few acres of land?
"It will definitely come!" Fan Kuai grabbed Liu Bang's arm.
"Then you have to come quickly. If it's later, I'll be an octogenarian." Liu Bang laughed and patted Fan Kuai on the shoulder.
"Okay, help me farm!"
In Liu Bang's original plan, he planned to ask his eldest brother for a few acres of land this year to grow fairy grains and become self-reliant.
But if you think about it carefully, these few acres of land are not enough to support you to start a family and start a business, so you simply give up.
Liu Bang really couldn't handle the matter of dividing these few acres of land for nothing.
Anyway, after planting fairy grain, the grain yield has increased, and the eldest brother and father cannot afford to lose a bite of their own food.
As for starting a family?
Let’s establish a career first…
Although he was eating the little widow's food openly and honestly, as a principled gangster, if he couldn't establish a career, Liu Bang really couldn't shame it and let a woman take care of everything for him.
Although it seems shameless, Liu Bang actually wants to be shameless.
After plowing the remaining acres of land, Liu Bang took his good brothers who helped him farm and went to the little widow's tavern to have sex for free.
The group was drunk and dizzy. After having sex, the little widow invited Liu Bang to spend the night as usual, but Liu Bang refused.
He lifted up his pants and was about to leave with Fan Kuai's support. The wine jug filled to the brim by the little widow was quietly poured back into the little widow's wine jug by Liu Bang.
The little widow got angry and hid in the house without looking at Liu Bang. Liu Bang closed the door with his foot, hummed a folk song and helped Fan Kuai to leave.
"This King Qin is different after all."
Liu Bang vaguely realized something, raised his head and looked at the sky with the bright moon hanging high.
He couldn't explain it clearly, but Liu Bang realized that something had changed around him.
"When Xiao He refused the county magistrate's recommendation, he told me in private that the Qin State was destined to be destroyed."
"But now it seems that's not the case anymore."
Liu Bang scratched his head.
At the very least, if in the past the price of grain was so high and officials colluded to smuggle grain, he would have gone out of his way to greet the ancestors of the First Emperor.
But now, the notice is clearly posted there, and it is really hard to criticize the First Emperor.
How to describe it?
Liu Bang threw Fan Kuai on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
oh!
That man was finally willing to lower his head and take a look.
