Chapter 161: People in the hidden palace are always humble!

"Parents?" Li Chenda asked.

Qin Luoheng came back to his senses and asked, "I'm not very familiar with farming. Please tell me about the fertilization technologies currently available in Da Qin."

Li Chenda was a little frightened.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Go home, sir."

"There are currently three main types."

"One is seed fertilizer, one is base fertilizer, and the other is top dressing."

"Seed fertilizer is planted with fertilizer when sowing, covering the surface acres of the ground, growing grains with thorn grass, and fields with a lot of manure. It is a matter for farmers and common people. Basal fertilizer is spread over the fields to increase soil fertility, and the fields are not filled with manure.

, then you will definitely get a profit."

"As for top dressing."

"This is actually a method developed after the compost retting technique was developed a few years ago. When the crops are in the ear, the silkworm stems and human excrement are decomposed and applied to the ground to supplement the crops."

"Why do parents ask this?"

Qin Luoheng sighed.

He laughed at himself:

"Your parents and I now own a hundred acres of fertile land, but unlike others, I have to use these hundred acres to grow vegetables, which also means that I need to use a lot of fertilizer."

“And there’s not enough manure right now!”

"If there is not enough fertilization, the growth rate of the crops will not keep up, and the yield will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. The yield of my vegetables cannot be low. I still don't know how much these vegetables will cost on the market and how many people are willing to buy them."

"You have to pursue production just in case."

Li Chen hesitated slightly.

said:

"The "Moon Order" introduces the method of retting."

"In the month of summer, the soil is moist and the heat is hot. When there is heavy rain, it is helpful for killing weeds. If you use hot soup, it can be used to excrement the fields and beautify the territory."

Qin Luoheng continued to shake his head.

"not enough."

"Not to mention the summer season, which is still two months away from now. Even if it does come, the local weeds, leaves, straw and other items will have been looted by the nearby Guizhou Province. Where will there be left for us?"

"Even if there is, it's not enough."

"One hundred acres of fertile land requires too much manure."

Li Chenda scratched his head and couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

Qin Luoheng's eyes rolled, and then he thought of something, and asked curiously: "Is there a public toilet in Xianyang?"

"What is the public toilet?" Li Chenda looked confused.

"Hun."

Li Chen nodded quickly and said:

"some."

"Almost every house in the city has a toilet."

"But most of the toilets in each house are used to water their own fields."

"Parents may not know something."

"Xianyang is no different from other counties. Open defecation is strictly prohibited in Xianyang. In the past, laws were issued that stipulated that those who defecate in the open will be punished as throwing ashes on the street."

"So almost every house in the city has a toilet."

"Even the poor people who entered the city and couldn't find a place to stay would run out of the city to relieve themselves outside the city, under trees, or in ditches."

“It’s basically impossible for parents to collect manure in the city.”

Qin Luoheng rubbed his forehead.

Some headache.

He really wanted to collect some manure in the city.

But he ignored that the Qin State was pursuing farming and fighting, and Xianyang was the capital of the country. The old Qin people were pragmatic, and every family had a field. Da Qin also promoted the method of composting and retting, so each family basically used the manure for their own use.

He couldn't collect it at all.

Qin Luoheng was also quite depressed.

How could he, a tall and dignified man of seven or eight feet, be embarrassed by urine and feces one day?

immediately.

Qin Luoheng questioned.

"wrong."

"The situation you mentioned only applies to Xicheng."

"The tens of thousands of households in Dongcheng are all resettled nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Even though each of their households has toilets, they have no fields around Xianyang, so the manure of each household cannot be used for their own use, so their manure

It can be collected.”

"This is the manure of hundreds of thousands of people."

"Don't say hundreds of acres, even hundreds of hectares, I'm afraid it's enough."

Li Chenda had a look of fear on his face.

He said timidly:

"That's what the parents said."

"It's because I didn't think carefully and didn't think about Dongcheng."

Qin Luoheng glanced at Da curiously and said nonchalantly: "I live in Dongcheng. I didn't expect it at the beginning. You don't think it's normal."

"So be it."

"You take these seeds back first."

"I'll let you know when I figure out how to collect it."

Da was startled.

It seems that he didn't expect Qin Luoheng to be so easy to talk to.

I was a little dazed for a moment.

Seeing Daleng standing there, Qin Luoheng's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

He looked at Da carefully for a few times, thought of Da's conversation just now, and subconsciously said: "Listening to what you just said, you seem to know the words and have read some books?"

Hear the words.

Da immediately came to his senses.

He said in panic:

"Go home, sir."

"I do know a few words, but I haven't read much."

"What I said before was something I heard from others before. It's just that my memory is not bad and I could barely remember these things. I was so eager to answer that I said it without knowing whether it was true or not. I asked my parents to punish me."

Da knelt down with a sad look on his face.

Qin Luoheng's face twitched.

said:

"stand up."

"Don't kneel down all day long."

"I'm not blaming you. There's no need to kneel down."

"Literacy is a good thing."

"In the future, when I sell vegetables, you can still help with the accounting. When I pay the rent and taxes, maybe you can also help. I just asked you if you are literate. Why are you so panicked?"

"stand up!!!"

Under Qin Luoheng's sharp gaze, Da slowly stood up.

Qin Luoheng said seriously:

"After you go back, tell An by the way, I don't have many rules here. As long as you don't break the law and don't take the initiative to cause trouble outside, it doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing. Don't kneel down if you feel a little uneasy. Where does that come from?

This bad habit?”

"A man has gold at his knees."

"Kneel down before the sky and kneel down before your parents. Others don't need to kneel down except for a big salute."

"You are subordinates."

"But he is not my personal slave."

"When the First Emperor grants amnesty to the world, or there is chaos in the world, and you have made military exploits, you may be able to regain your military status. You are still literate, so there is no need to consider yourself so humble. The household registration system of Da Qin is indeed strict, but it is not

It’s not that we can’t cross it.”

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

"If you work seriously in my hands, I can promise you that one day I will free you. If you can keep your heart and work hard and conscientiously, maybe I can recommend you as a local official in the future."

"But kneeling won't do it!"

"I look down on spineless people!"

Da's eyes turned red.

With a pop, he knelt on the ground again.

Paying homage:

"Thank you, parents."

"I will remember my parents' words and will never let them down."

"Parents, please rest assured."

Finished.

Da then knelt on the ground and knocked loudly.

His forehead was bleeding.

Qin Luoheng shook his head and went straight back to the house.

Qin Luoheng didn't know that Da and An were both from the Hidden Palace.

To hide means to be isolated from the outside world.

From the outside world, the Hidden Palace is a place where people who have suffered physical torture and have mutilated bodies are housed. However, disabled people are not all of the Hidden Palace. There are actually able-bodied people inside, but these people exist as private slaves of the royal family and are not seen.

Registered in Daqin.

Ta has been staying in the Hidden Palace for as long as he can remember.

The origins of the people in the Hidden Palace are more complicated. Some were born in the Hidden Palace, some had their parents tortured, and some were implicated by their relatives and were forced to work as coolies in the Hidden Palace.

They have been told one thing for as long as they can remember.

People who live in the hidden palace are always humble!

They have been doing prison labor since they came of age. Every time they built a palace, there were often millions of people using the hidden palace. They were exhausted and exhausted. Some people were often buried by the surrounding officials because of lack of physical strength or illness.

Most of them have no names.

They are driven to work like animals every day. If they don't have the opportunity, they will work in the hidden palace for the rest of their lives until they die. However, this death is not a normal death of old age, but death of exhaustion or illness. They are not qualified to enter at all.

Mainstream society.

No household registration, no name.

even......

Some of them don't know the outside world.

The reason why he can recognize some words and know some books is thanks to the "old people" in the hidden palace. These people follow Zhao Gao's example and secretly practice calligraphy and exchange some books with each other after rest every day.

They all hope that they can be like Zhao Gao, who can be appreciated by their superiors because of their literacy and writing skills, and then escape from the hidden palace.

He is also secretly following along.

Everyone in the Hidden Palace wants to be Zhao Gao.

In his memory, there is a saying that has always been circulated in the Hidden Palace: 'Zhao Gaokun's several brothers were all born in the Hidden Palace, their mothers were executed (lu), and they have been humbled throughout the world.'

Zhao Gao and his younger brothers were all born in the Hidden Palace. Logically speaking, they should have been working in the Hidden Palace until they died. However, Zhao Gao was appreciated by his superiors because of his good calligraphy, and then he was rewarded and left.

The hidden palace.

People in the Hidden Palace don't know what Zhao Gao is doing now.

But leaving the Hidden Palace, getting away from this day and night, never-ending work, this is too tempting for everyone in the Hidden Palace. Everyone follows Zhao Gao as an example and wants to imitate Zhao Gao's path to achieve success.

Escape from the hidden palace.

But no one succeeded.

Until he and Ann!

He and An were not the most literate, nor were they the best at writing among everyone, but in the end it was the two of them who were singled out.

There is only one reason.

Others look too old!

But both he and An knew that those people were not actually old, the oldest was only in their twenties, but they had worked day and night for a long time, and their faces did not look like young people at all.

After they left the Hidden Palace, they were told only one thing.

They are subordinates of Qin Luoheng and are sent by Qin Luoheng. If Qin Luoheng is dissatisfied, they will be immediately returned to the hidden palace.

So Da and An didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Don't even dare to anger Qin Luoheng.

What Qin Luoheng said just now made Da feel extremely moved.

For the first time in his life, he felt respected!

even......

He is willing to die for Qin Luoheng!

Qin Luoheng didn't notice the ups and downs of Da's mood at all. He didn't know the existence of the Hidden Palace at all, so naturally he didn't have much feelings about it.

Shortly after Da left, someone sent an invitation.

The above content is actually very simple.

Just a wedding card.

Looking at the invitation, Qin Luoheng looked slightly strange.

chuckled and said:

"I've been in Daqin for so long, and I haven't personally seen the marriages of this era. I want to take a closer look this time."

"Xinhai Day, Haishi!!!"

------Digression-----

Some people argue that the Qin Dynasty was not strict, so I will give you some additional information.

Many people say that Zhao Gao was a eunuch or eunuch, but this is not true. According to the Biography of Meng Tian in the Historical Records, Zhao Gao and Kundi came from the Hidden Palace. The Hidden Palace in the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to an indefinite labor camp, where they worked all their lives.

This is also the reason why I said that Zhao Gao had a psychological abnormality in history.

In the Qin Dynasty, the number of people in the Hidden Palace was as high as one million. "More than 700,000 people were imprisoned in the Hidden Palace for building Afang." How else could there be a place like Baiyue, Lishan Mountain, and the Great Wall.

So Zhao Gao was a eunuch, but not a eunuch. No matter how cruel Qin Shihuang was, he wouldn't castrate dozens or millions of people, right?

sweat!

People from the Qin Dynasty to the head of Guizhou and above were the people.

The rest are not human beings and are worse than animals.

In the Qin Dynasty, if a child was born with a disability, he would be drowned immediately.

This is actually understandable, after all, you can't afford it, but if you are disabled in battle or become disabled in the later stages, unless you have a title, you will be sent to the Hidden Palace to let you exert your last remaining energy.
