The long winter has finally passed. Huddled at home, the people of Maodong began to prepare for the next spring plowing.
Xu Wang, the magistrate of Wen County, was wearing linen clothes and was leading the people to work in the fields.
Whether it's a show or a performance, this process must be completed.
Xu Wang wiped his sweat, he was farming seriously.
Coming from a farm family, he is uniquely serious about spring plowing.
Seeing that the sun has risen high, the people are still reluctant to stop their work.
Until noon, many children carrying lunch boxes about the same size as themselves came to the fields to deliver meals to the adults.
Xu Wang looked at this picture of spring plowing with a smile and couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone says that the Qin Dynasty was tyrannical, and the first emperor, Ying Zheng, was even more tyrannical and a man who enjoyed great achievements.
But now, eleven years have passed since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and the people's lives are getting better and better.
Although it has not reached the level of a well-off home for everyone, food and clothing have been solved.
Moreover, it avoids the pain of war and all kinds of labor.
Even the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was stopped by the benevolent His Majesty the First Emperor.
The purpose is not to increase the burden on the people.
Even after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it conquered Baiyue in the south and attacked the Xiongnu in the north.
However, no additional taxes or military service were imposed as a result.
Coupled with the harsh punishment laws that were feared by people all over the world, corporal punishment and torture were abolished.
Therefore, people all over the world already feel that His Majesty the First Emperor is a benevolent monarch.
Xu Wang naturally knew what was going on.
Even though he is just a small county magistrate, he insists on reading Daqin Daily every day for eleven years.
He has long discovered that Da Qin's current policy and the influence of its policies all come from a figure hidden behind the scenes.
Xianyang Hou, Qin Feng!
Yes, even most people think he is a lucky villain.
It is because of the favor of His Majesty the First Emperor that he holds a high position.
He also has a surly temperament and likes people who don't agree with him.
So much so that the imperial palace was overcrowded, and Lord Zhao Gao of the CRRC Mansion also had many more sisters.
However, all smart people know that the current situation in Da Qin was created by him!
Whether it was the southern expedition to Baiyue or the fake death, they caused civil strife.
So much so that the Qin Dynasty occupied such a huge grain-producing area without spending a single soldier.
Rice is harvested three times a year! It’s enough to make farmers go crazy!
Nowadays, many farmers and students have been cultivating the land of Baiyue for a long time. Through continuous optimization and breeding, the yield of rice has been further increased.
Food is always the cornerstone of a country!
No one wants to rebel if the people have enough to eat.
Until now, the land of Baiyue, as a huge grain-producing area, is still continuously supplying the Central Plains.
So much so that the 300,000-strong army's Northern Expedition against the Huns did not lead to an increase in food prices.
And as the current war is coming to an end, Da Qin has won the victory without any surprise.
A large number of cattle and sheep poured into the mainland in exchange for cheap raw materials in the hands of the people.
This makes ordinary people's lives better.
Xu Wang wiped his sweat and murmured:
"I heard that the reforms in the Guanzhong area have achieved great results.
The people there eat meat in every household, and the children there also have books to read.
It must be coming soon, and soon our reform outside the customs will begin."
"Daddy!"
Just when Xu Wang was immersed in his own thoughts, a crisp voice suddenly woke him up.
Seeing the little girl jumping up and down with a basket in front of her, Xu Wang smiled sincerely.
"Dad, my daughter has brought you food!"
"Good boy!"
Xu Wang rubbed Xu Mofu's head lovingly, and opened the food box. Inside were two exquisite stir-fried wild vegetables, mixed with some minced meat.
The staple food is a bowl of brown rice, which is not ground very fine in pursuit of texture.
But this is already very good, much better than the previous millet rice.
Xu Wang's lunch was similar to that of the people around him, the only extra thing was some minced meat.
"Dad, I have a bad feeling recently."
Xu Mofu wore two little knots and sat on the ridge of the field, dangling his calves and glancing at him with his beautiful eyebrows.
It seemed like he thought of something bad.
When Xu Wang heard this, he couldn't help but put down the rice in his hand.
Although she is said to be childish, her daughter is actually a bit extraordinary.
When she was born, she held the jade ornament of King Wen's Eight Diagrams in her hand.
He was able to speak within a hundred days of his birth and was known as a child prodigy.
The most shocking thing is that when she was a child, if she saw someone smiling, then that person would definitely have good luck.
If you see anyone crying, then this person will definitely have bad luck.
When he grew up, he became even more proficient in the art of physiognomy.
Therefore, he was appreciated by His Majesty the First Emperor.
Not only did he reward Xu Wang with a thousand taels of gold, but he also asked Xu Wang to train his daughter well.
Xu Wang showed his gratitude to His Majesty the First Emperor and named his daughter Mo Hui.
I will never disappoint His Majesty the First Emperor.
And with the protection of His Majesty the First Emperor, no one dared to take any chances with Xu Mohe.
Therefore, this little girl has grown up innocently for eleven years.
But now, she actually had an ominous premonition.
This could be a big deal!
Xu Wang put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands back into the food box. He looked at Xu Mohe, tried his best to calm himself down, and asked softly:
"What's wrong, Mo Ling? Are you not feeling well?
You should go home quickly, it’s too hot in the fields, don’t get too hot in the sun.”
Xu Mo shook his head like a rattle and murmured:
"No, I have nothing to do, dad. I was just watching the sky last night."
Xu Wang couldn't help but frown and said:
"Didn't I tell you not to look at those things randomly?
You cannot read fortunes for those aristocratic families, and you cannot live up to the grace of His Majesty the First Emperor."
Xu Mohe couldn't help but pout and said:
"But, I am just watching it for His Majesty the First Emperor!
Last night the emperor's star fluttered high!
This is extremely unlucky!”
"Shut up!"
Xu Wang was shocked and covered Xu Mohe's mouth.
His eyes were so wide that he was almost scared to death.
How can you say such words casually?
Isn't this a curse to the death of His Majesty the First Emperor?
What is the difference between this and those rebellious ministers and traitors who shouted that the world will collapse when the ancestor dragon dies?
It is said that the Marquis of Xianyang became furious because of this prophecy that appeared from nowhere.
Order the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult to come out in full force to hunt down those who spread rumors throughout the world.
Because the members of the Holy Fire Miaomiao Sect all wear brocade robes, they are called the "Bloody Guards".
Just when Xu Wang wanted to give Xu Mohe a few words, suddenly, a mysterious knight came running towards him and said loudly:
"Wen County Magistrate Xu Wang will pick you up! His Majesty the First Emperor is here for a parade!"
Xu Wang's pupils suddenly shrank, he was extremely shocked, and murmured:
"It's broken...could it be His Majesty the First Emperor?"
