Chapter 534: The princes are divided and have been fighting for hundreds of years. Why is there a family and a country?(1/2)
(First update)
Five days later.
Qin Luoheng set out to leave.
It's mid-June, and the endless wheat fields are changing from green to yellow, and the waves are undulating with the wind.
During this period of time, the Chu region was very lively, and as the wheat fields began to turn yellow, more and more Guizhou heads appeared in the fields, and they began to plan the harvest.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
The farmers in the fields beside the road were holding bamboo poles and driving away the sparrows.
There are not many cultivators in the vast fields, most of them are middle-aged and women. This year it is a little less noisy and lively than usual, but the smile on Guizhou's face cannot be stopped.
On the way.
Looking at the increasingly busy figures in the field, Qin Luoheng made an impromptu decision and got off the carriage. Without changing his clothes, he just walked towards the field. After walking for a hundred steps, he stopped in front of a few figures.
.
Qin Luoheng said with a warm face: "I dare to ask my father-in-law, what do you think of the new land order issued by the imperial court during this period?"
The father-in-law, who was plowing the ground with an iron shovel, stopped what he was doing. He raised his head and wiped his sweat while glancing at the visitor. His thin yellow face was full of warning and suspicion, but he still took the initiative to answer: "That's of course very good.
, all my fields were occupied by those damn nobles."
"This time the government has distributed it again."
"And because I captured a few aristocratic young men, I was given a few more acres of land. These ten young men are really the most charitable people in the world. Not only did they allocate land to us, but they also repeatedly ordered the government to strictly prohibit increasing rents and taxes."
Said.
The tanned and bare-backed father-in-law also had a silly smile on his face.
He continued: "The government didn't bother much this year. The harvests in the fields are very good, and we are sure that we won't charge any extra taxes. There is even a lot of food left this year. This can even be regarded as the richest I have been in the past ten years of my life."
It’s been a year.”
"I can finally have enough to eat at home."
"I can also add some clothes."
My father-in-law thought about the scene after the autumn harvest, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng also smiled.
He asked: "But as far as I know, in the past, the imperial court rarely conscripted troops into the Chu region, but this time it conscripted 150,000, so many families were short of strength, and the tenth son distributed the land and made many demands.
Don’t you have any complaints?”
The father-in-law looked at Qin Luoheng with an unkind expression.
Questioned:
"who are you?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"The issue of military conscription has been around since I started thinking about it. If the world hadn't been unified, how could we people have time to plow the fields? There were people who served in the army before, but not so many, and they didn't go to Lingnan. But relatively speaking
Compared with the great war, the number of times we were drafted was much less, and the Qin Dynasty had such strict military discipline and strict restraint on its soldiers. This is the first time I have seen it in my more than thirty years of life."
"If you want to slander the Tenth Young Master, I advise you to give up!"
"As for the lack of strength, how much is missing?"
"You can't be so greedy. You want to get land but don't want to contribute. How can there be such a good thing in the world? And the people in the government have said that as long as they can perform meritorious service on the battlefield, they can get land and titles just like the people of Qin.
.”
"Isn't this a great thing?"
"Nowadays, many people in our hometown are regretful that they did not join the army. Otherwise, they would have gained a lot of land when they came back from the expedition to Lingnan."
"And the fields are now owned by the public."
"We are not qualified to sell it, so no one else can buy it."
"In the past, I always felt that the fields were our own security, but over the years we have all come to understand that we, the plain-headed Guizhou leaders, cannot keep the fields on our own. It is better that the fields be given to the government. We must cultivate our own fields honestly.
, just pay your own rent.”
"You should stop trying to bewitch me."
"it's useless."
"I won't listen to you."
"What is our current situation? We know best. The arrival of the Tenth Young Master in Chu Land is a blessing for us. Otherwise, at least 60 to 70% of our village would still be working as servants for the nobles, and there would be less than a hundred people with their own land."
"A few months ago, we people were still scratching our heads, thinking about how to survive. If the Tenth Young Master hadn't come and given us a way to survive, otherwise we wouldn't know how many people would starve to death in our village this year. That would be true.
How miserable."
"Young Master Ten is our great savior!"
"..."
Listening to his father-in-law's words, Qin Luoheng felt dumbfounded. It turned out that his father-in-law thought that he wanted to slander Xin Ling, so he was wary of himself. However, when he heard that his father-in-law was so respectful and grateful to him, he felt quite emotional.
The emotions of the people at the bottom have always been the simplest.
It is also the most real.
Qin Luoheng said: "As long as you have no objections to the new order, since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, what it wants is the submission of all directions, and what it wants is for the people to have food in the morning and something to eat in the evening. However, there are many people in the world who want to protect this country.
This achievement is not easy.”
"The imperial court can only do its best."
"I just want to live up to the world and all the people."
Sigh a few times.
Qin Luoheng turned around and left.
He returned to the chariot and lowered the curtain completely. Following the shouts of the visitors, his accompanying motorcade slowly returned to the chariot and then quickly disappeared into the fields.
The father-in-law kept staring at Qin Luoheng's retreating figure. After seeing Qin Luoheng go away, he put down the iron in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and ran to the countryman's house. He felt that something was wrong with Qin Luoheng, and it was possible that there was something wrong with Qin Luoheng.
They are the remnants of the nobles. Although the time stipulated by the government has ended, if they can capture a few more noble children, the government may still reward them.
Half an hour later.
The father-in-law returned to the field covered in sweat.
He nervously looked at the road where there was no one there, and his face turned a little pale. He had already heard some news from the local mistress. The tenth son might be passing by here in the past few days. His father-in-law was thinking about Qin Luoheng's clothes and that
With a noble air, he understood immediately.
a long time.
The father-in-law stomped the ground violently, crying and angrily: "What am I doing? That person is clearly the Tenth Young Master, I...I..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......
Qin Luoheng didn't know about his father-in-law's hindsight.
Because Qin Luoheng decided to go to Chaoge and Meng Yi wanted to return to Xianyang to resume his life, the two parted ways.
Watching Qin Luoheng's carriage drive away, Meng Yi said with emotion: "The tenth young master is so similar to your majesty. Your majesty aspires to unify and dominate the world, but the tenth young master also has lofty aspirations."
“How can a country be called a country if the princes separate their kingdoms?”
“How can we call home after a hundred years of fighting?”
"It was His Majesty who swept away the world and made all directions surrender. It was His Majesty who swept away the world's stereotypes and removed all roadblocks and barriers. Now, in the hands of the Ten Young Masters, it is gradually realized that all people will have food in the morning and something to eat in the evening."
"Your Majesty and the Young Master are building a new kingdom."
"A true country and family!!!"
"How lucky I, Meng Yi, are, how lucky all the people are, how lucky the whole world is!"
Meng Yi stood up.
He bowed respectfully in the direction of Xianyang.
Sitting back, Meng Yi also thought of Fusu and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Out of selfish motives, he actually wanted Fusu to take the position, but through his contact with Qin Luoheng during this period, he had to admit that the Tenth Young Master was indeed more suitable than Fusu. The Tenth Young Master was decisive, more courageous, and more important.
What is special is that the Tenth Young Master will not change due to external will.
The Tenth Young Master also dares to break the rules.
In all comparisons, Fusu is far inferior to the Tenth Young Master.
These advantages and disadvantages are already visible to the naked eye. If he can see it so clearly, how can His Majesty not see it clearly? Fusu is not bad, but he is not suitable to be in charge of the Qin Dynasty. Fusu's temperament is too weak and lacks independence.
, sometimes too womanly and indecisive.
