Chapter 30 The Wang family needs friends
Author: March
"Go back and tell your father. Write a letter about this matter to Your Majesty." Wang Jian said.
The matter of making salt was of great importance, and Wang Jian was an experienced man and knew what it meant.
In comparison, Daxun Tianxia can be put aside for the time being.
Of course, Wang Jian could also choose to ignore it and report to the court step by step, and the court would decide whether to rush to report to the First Emperor or not.
Wang Jian chose to sell Zhao Si.
Although Wang Jian was in his hometown, he was well-informed and had heard a little bit about Zhao Si. Wang Li also entertained Zhao Si several times and proposed to give Zhao Si his dancing girl as a gift, but Zhao Si refused.
Wang Jian could see that if nothing special happened, Zhao Si would have a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Zhao Si, who is the same age as his grandson, is too upright and popular.
First, when he was a child, he believed in the king's order and went to sea to find immortals.
Later, he was coaxed by Xu Fu to go overseas with the intention of becoming independent. Zhao Si resolutely seized the ship and went to sea to live up to the king's order and return to Qin.
With great righteousness, even if Zhao Si has no merit, he still has great prospects for future development.
That is to say, Zhao Si's place of origin is unclear. If his place of origin were a native of Lao Qin, his future could be said to be limitless.
The Wang family has reached its current stage and no longer needs any credit.
The Wang family does not need a second Wang Jian. Wang Jian offended many people when he was young, and his relationship with the First Emperor was also tense for a time.
Now, what the Wang family needs is friends.
"Does your leg still hurt?" Now that Wang Jian had made his decision, Wang Li didn't think much about it.
Wang Jian moved his legs. His calves were numb and it was very difficult to move. If anything went wrong, he would feel a stinging sensation. He had to shake his head.
"It's okay..." Wang Jian lowered his head and looked at his numb calf wrapped in animal skin.
In the past, when I was conquering the world and pioneering for the king, I was so high-spirited. Now the weather is a little bit wrong, and it is quite difficult to even stand and walk.
"I'm going to soak Dad's feet to warm up my body!" Wang Li, who was kneeling beside him, raised his head with a simple smile on his face.
"You just remembered it now?" Wang Jian snorted, and Wang Li scratched his head and went to get Wang Jian some water.
Looking at his grandson's dull back, Wang Jian, who was squatting on the bench, showed a loving smile.
This child Wang Li is indeed dull by nature.
However, he is non-quarrelsome, not angry, honest, and kind-hearted. Compared with Wang Ben, he is a little less temperamental, but he is a rare child who can keep a family.
Wang Ben is not the only child of Wang Li.
Wang Li is not the only legitimate son.
Wang Li is by no means the most outstanding among all the legitimate sons.
It's just that Wang Li is the oldest and the eldest son. Although Wang Ben is not happy, with Wang Jian's pressure, Wang Li's status is solid.
Wang Ben didn't like Wang Li, but Wang Jian loved Wang Li very much.
Wang Li is an obedient, honest, honest boy with no great ambitions.
So what if Wang Ben has some talent? It's not as good as the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi who were close to each other in front of the king, and their relationship was on the same level.
Wang Ben can't beat the crowd and be unique!
What's more, the Wang family doesn't need a second person who can overwhelm the others.
Wang Ben always scolded Wang Li for not living up to expectations, but he didn't know that Wang Jian had wiped Wang Ben's butt countless times. If Wang Jian hadn't been mature and prudent, gave in many times, and took the initiative to repair the relationship, Wang Ben would have been isolated among the ministers.
Come on.
Wang Li poured hot water, came over and took off Wang Jian's shoes and socks, and placed Wang Jian's feet in the basin.
Wang Jian looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt sad.
Many years ago, Wang Li, who was squatting here and washing his own feet, was still a little boy, but now he has become a big man who can run a household.
"Wang family, we will have to rely on you in the future..." Wang Jian's voice was meaningful and long.
"ah?"
"Isn't there still my father..."
In the night, the voices of grandfather and grandson are faintly visible...
The next day...
within the pass
Xiaye Township, Chelinli.
This place and Yexia just reversed the order, but the distance is very different.
Xiaye is a township in Guan Nei. This place is close to the natural danger of Huashan Mountain. It was originally a military base. Later, due to the unification of the world, the location of the military base was moved to the east more than a hundred miles away. New households were moved here and it became a township again.
This also has something to do with the fact that after the First Emperor settled the world, he had no land to enclose.
The Qin Dynasty's military meritorious service was strictly rewarded and punished, with rewards for merit and punishment for demerits.
In the process of pacifying the world, there are many people in Qin who have received credit.
And going back to the time of Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State began to implement the system of military merit and nobility. Until the world was pacified, there were countless meritorious people. Therefore, the land of the Qin State was almost impossible to enfeoff.
Although the First Emperor enjoyed the legacy of his ancestors, he also received the heavy burden left by his predecessors.
The First Emperor could only find ways to resolve conflicts when dividing the fields.
There is no good land in Guanzhong, but there are still some wastelands, mountains, and lowlands. You can get rewards if you make do with it.
There are a lot of newly conquered lands from the Six Kingdoms outside the Pass, which can also be rewarded.
This was the case in Xiaye Township. After the military base here was abandoned, even such mountainous areas were used to reward soldiers.
There was no way, there was really not much land left in the pass, so we had to squeeze it. The old Qin emperor Shi Huang was very generous when he was willing to go outside the pass. The more remote the place he went to, the more money he gave to the farm slaves.
Moreover, the local fertile land was given priority to the old Qin people, and a large number of old Qin people who had no title and no merit were forcibly moved out by the First Emperor.
In short, they tried every means to get rid of the old Qin people.
This group of people in Chelin, Xiaye Township, are the old soldiers who attacked Chu.
He went through two battles against Chu.
Once Li Xin attacked Chu, and once Wang Jian attacked Chu.
They were just a few of the soldiers who attacked Chu.
Later, he received land in Xiaye Township due to his meritorious service.
It can be said that the entire Chelin community is full of meritorious people.
The small ones have public servants, the big ones have no more...
There are a total of thirty-seven households in Chelin, with more than one hundred and twenty people.
The population is not very large, mainly because it is difficult to farm here. Although there are many fields granted, there are not many places where food can grow, and it cannot feed too many people at all.
Some areas here that are convenient for farming have been reclaimed as fields. Food cannot be grown and vegetables and soybeans are sparsely grown.
Young people are plowing in the fields, and some elderly soldiers are sitting on the threshold, and some are bringing their newborn children. Occasionally, children are seen playing in the fields. Although the population is not large, it is quite like a paradise.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded at the entrance of the village, breaking the tranquility.
But I saw a heroic young man on horseback shouting loudly at the entrance of the village.
"Uncle! I just heard from the county captain that Xu Fu's fleet has returned!"
An old soldier holding a bundle of soybeans suddenly shuddered and the soybean poles fell to the ground.
The young man got off his horse and picked up the bean pole that his grandfather had dropped on the ground and said.
"I heard from the county captain that a few months ago, the fleet returned from Langya. Some of His Majesty's Majesty had already returned to their place of origin, and some were taken to Lantian Camp!"
"Is Big Brother among them?"
