Chapter 76: All applicants

() Ying Zheng immediately summoned Yu Liao. Before receiving the news, Yu Liao had sent people to inquire. In just an hour or two, he had found out the cause and effect, and even the name of Huan Jue. was found out. Ying Zheng did not expect that Fan Yuqi was not dead at this time. Back then, he was instigated by Xia Ji and wanted to rob Cheng Xi of rebellion. Unfortunately, Cheng Xi couldn't hold up the wall with mud, so Fan Yuqi didn't care. Whatever he had planned in his heart, whether it was for fame or profit, it was all in vain. Ying Zheng was still on guard against the Lu family at that time, so he naturally did not kill them all. He only killed his parents and clan members, but his wife and children stayed behind. Unexpectedly, Fan Yuqi now changed his appearance. He actually changed his name and joined Yan Dan's men. He also used the power of his wife to leave the city. Unexpectedly, this was not only a mistake in the communication of the news at this time, but also the fact that he had returned to Xianyang for the first time. Because of the power of surveillance...

It's not anyone's fault. After all, no one expected Huan Jue to appear in Xianyang. It's just that Ying Zheng knew that Ren Yandan had left Xianyang today. I'm afraid that with his personality, he hated himself to the core. He would not give up, and there would be trouble again in the future. It seemed that the incident in history where Jing Ke assassinated Qin might happen in the future. Fortunately, he had been prepared for it, so he didn't take it to heart. He just frowned a little. , then returned to his usual appearance, but his eyes became colder after all. While eating the food, he said to Yu Liao:

"I never thought that Fan Yuqi would come back. With his help, no wonder Yan Dan might have left Qin." Now no one knew how far they had gone. Naturally, they ran fast to escape, but now they could no longer catch up.

Yu Liao also had the same food as Ying Zheng in front of him. They were all ordinary food. There was nothing outstanding about it. The only thing that was commendable was that there was no debris in the corn. When it was cooked into porridge, it was a plate of cooked rice. Meat, sprinkled with some sea salt, and nothing else. At this time, there was no variety in food. The common people were in war all the year round, and their lives were like grass. Many people often couldn't even save their lives. They didn't even have enough to eat. And Where can I have the leisure and leisure to think about making the food more delicious? Generally, meat is cooked in a cauldron, with salt added, and there are no other tricks...

Even if it is delicacies from the mountains and seas, you should get tired of eating them like this all the time. However, Yu Liao saw that Ying Zheng was very slow and methodical in cutting the meat with a dagger and eating it in portions. He did not show any sign of being picky, so he couldn't help but follow suit.

"This matter is due to the negligence of the old minister, but Fan Yuqi is indeed cruel at this time. Not only his parents are affected, but his wife and children are also affected. Such a reckless person, who only knows how to be loyal but does not know how to filter out the right person carefully, is really a fool. ." At this time, although Confucius said that he should not speak when eating and not speak when sleeping, the Qin State had always scorned Confucianism and did not follow it. Therefore, Yingzheng and Yu Liao used it at this time. The two of them talked while eating together. Although the food was not very delicious, it was already an honor just to eat with the king. Although Yu Liao also knew that this was Ying Zheng's way of pulling him in, but I have to say that I feel very grateful and touched.

"Even though the woman didn't know the inside story, after all, what she did was harmful to the country and cannot be tolerated. Let Han Fei handle the matter." At this time, there was no cooking method, and food was always cooked in a bronze tripod. Although Zheng knew some cooking techniques from his previous life, because he was not currently focusing on pleasures such as food and clothing, and he did not want to be distracted by these things in advance, he had always been strict with himself. Fan Although Yu Qi's wife had remarried, her old love for him was unforgettable in her heart. At this time, she knew that the Qin State wanted him, not only did she not report him, but she also helped him escape, so that Yan Dan could escape from the Qin Dynasty. From the perspective of Qin's governance and from the perspective of Ying Zheng's heart, he was not willing to let this woman live anymore.

She was given a chance to survive before, but she didn't cherish it. Instead, she was lucky this time. Because of her, the Ying Zheng Gang's plan to kill Prince Dan and nip the crisis of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin in the bud was shattered. Not only could Yingzheng no longer tolerate her, but the laws of the Qin State could not tolerate this woman. Yu Liao did not mean to plead for mercy. After all, cutting the grass does not remove the root. If she becomes a weapon in the future, it will be another source of trouble. Even if the king should A heart of benevolence cannot be so overflowing, so when he heard what Ying Zheng said, he nodded and wrote it down in his mind.

And the woman who sent Yan Dan out was already in the early hours when she returned to the city. She walked all the way back to the city, her legs were like lead. Looking at the rising sun, she should have been terrified. The husband beat and scolded her. Unexpectedly, when she returned to her yard, not only did she not hear any scolding, but she was extremely quiet. The woman instinctively felt that something was wrong. When she stepped into her yard, she was greeted by someone who had been waiting in the yard. Qin Bing caught him, and the woman was shocked. She didn't expect that she would escort Fan Yuqi out of the city, and be caught as soon as she came back. There was no news about this matter, and when Fan Yuqi came back, he would be caught again. How could anyone find out that she had done these things without being discovered?

The leader who took the person was a middle-aged soldier who was about thirty years old. Regardless of the woman's loud cry of injustice, he locked up the family and dragged them out. Along the way, the Qin people hid far away when they saw the soldiers taking the person. Yes, while this woman was still calling out, she heard people around her say that she had let go of the thief Fan Yuqi and the Crown Prince of Yan, and that they should be punished for their crimes. She was immediately blinded. She didn't think too much about it when she helped Fan Yuqi before. Duo, just thinking about the love between the two of them for one day, never thought that he would lie to her, and then thinking about the young man who obviously didn't look like his bodyguard, he suddenly believed it 70% to 80%, and he was still confused at first. At this moment, he suddenly got the answer, and his face turned pale. When he was being dragged away, he just cried loudly: "Fan Yuqi, this thief has mistakenly taken my concubine!"

Since then, almost all members of Fan Yuqi's tribe have died, but no matter what, Yan Dan escaped from Xianyang. After executing the remaining Yan Kingdom attendants, Ying Zheng focused on building roads.

As everyone expected, once the news came out that Wei Zhe and Han Fei were building a plank road on the post road that the king was going to build, many people waited and watched, and there were very few people who signed up independently. Wei Zhe did not respond to this situation. Without forcing it, he just released the notice, saying that if he is an independent cultivator, he will be able to use it for free in the future, except for merchants to transport goods. As a result, people will naturally flock to it. It only takes some effort, but if you go Later, there was a flat road, which was much more convenient for everyone. The article also mentioned that you only need to pay one and a half taels between these inns in the future, and you can use the inns to carry tokens or other things.

Since this inn can be used by the common people, it is convenient and affordable. Half a tael is not much. It only costs one bucket of rice to exchange for three taels. Although the lives of the common people are not necessarily good, half a tael is not enough. Everyone pays attention to it, but if many people miss their relatives and friends who are far away, it is difficult to carry a letter with them. If they ask the caravan to help carry it, it will be easy to drop it, and secondly, they will have to use some letters. Money is good. I am afraid that even if you have ten dollars, people may not be willing to help you carry it. Now if you build a post road, you can get things done with only one dollar. Although the article also says that even if you send a letter, you have to wait until somewhere to deliver it. There must be at least fifty people to deliver the letter, but this is not much different from the caravan traveling north and south. People used to deliver letters. In the past, they had to wait for the caravan to go to that place. It was normal to wait for a year and a half, so for They didn't take this problem to heart, and when they heard that the post road could be used, many people began to have ideas in their minds. People who signed up to build the post road were crowded every day, and they were afraid that they would be missing from the list if it was too late. In the future, if you want to use these roads, you will have to pay additional money. The grand registration process makes the officials who go to register names every day so busy that they wish they had three heads and six arms.

Among the common people, there were many applicants, and the businessmen were also willing to give in. Everyone heard that if they only donated money, they would not only be able to use the post roads to deliver goods and other items when passing through the post stations, but also use the post roads.

They must pay a certain fee. As long as they are on the post road, they can be protected by the soldiers on the post road and be exempted from the cost of using the post road for one year. As long as they donate more than 10,000 yuan, they will have priority when using the post road, and if they donate ten thousand yuan, they will be given priority.

If you pay more than 10,000 yuan each year, you can deduct part of the fee at your discretion. If you donate a million yuan, if you meet the army when passing by, you can take them with you for a while, or you can have their name engraved on the outside of the station sign.

Ying Zheng transferred all the modern concepts to this time. When the businessmen heard the news, they went crazy. They now travel across mountains and rivers to travel between countries. It is not easy. The mountain roads in many places are steep and difficult.

He said that there are probably rogue bandits and bandits hiding in the mountains, whether they are Xiongnu or some soldiers from other countries. They often act as robbers to kill people and steal goods to enrich the army. It can be said that doing business is like hanging your head on your belt. Every year, they will hear

There are rumors that many caravans were destroyed by horse thieves, but it is undeniable that the interests of merchants are the greatest. Merchants value profits. Naturally, they know the danger and are willing to take risks. However, many people can only hire swordsmen out of fear.

to use for oneself.

This has some effect, but not much. After all, whether the swordsman hired temporarily is good or bad, if everyone didn't know the details before, there are cases where the swordsman will eat the hired man, and the businessmen are also worried about this.

Uneasy, now that they heard that they only needed to donate some money, they could also hire the Qin army to protect themselves. Many people were immediately overjoyed. You must know that although the Qin soldiers are not as strong as some swordsmen in martial arts, who knows the reputation of the Qin soldiers? There is no one in the world who is not good at it.
