Chapter 48 Sunrise

Lu Buwei was buried with the tomb of the former kings.

This incident did not cause any trouble in Qin State.

Lu Buwei's sons were quite uncomfortable and according to his father's instructions, he sent the family's money to the palace.

The next day, Zhao Gao took the king's order to return one-tenth of his wealth, and selected three children who were not very sensible to take away.

The children's mothers cried and robbed the earth, but their fathers were silent, and most of them were a little happy.

Seeing this reaction, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a little contempt.

Lu Xiang, you're dead, it's not worth it.

Ying Zheng brought these three children and only found remote places. He sent someone to raise them well. He did not inform Mo Jujuan, nor did he not inform Ju Zizhou.

In mid-September, the conquered army returned to Xianyang.

The grain around Xianyang has almost begun to be harvested.

After Ju Zizhou harvested the corn, he led his men to start digging water and irrigating the ground.

The drought in the past two years has caused quite serious damage to the land. If you don’t irrigate the land, I’m afraid that the land around Xianyang will not be able to be cultivated in the past two or three years.

"We must find a way to open a canal after the New Year." Ju Zizhou sighed.

He has no experience or knowledge in this area.

I will regret that I have little book until I use it.

After watering the ground, Zhao Gao handed over a pot of cold white blossoms at the right time.

"Mr. Ju, the king invites you to enter the palace." Zhao Gao's posture was very low.

Ju Zizhou nodded slightly: "Thank you."

After drinking the water, he returned the pot to Zhao Gao, and followed him into the palace before he had time to change his clothes.

Ying Zheng has already started to arrange the change.

But he was a little nervous.

The field system is very important, the military system is equally important, and for soldiers, the reward after fighting desperately is more important than life!

They were stationed outside Xianyang City and were closely guarded, guarding like thieves.

This has been the case since ancient times.

No one thinks it's wrong.

But Ying Zheng felt that something was wrong.

He felt that more rewards should be given to these desperate people.

"Have you calculated the pension?" Ying Zheng held a book and walked back and forth in the palace.

Pensions are not available before.

This time, this is the first time in the world that I do not follow my origin, title, or legal system, and I will simply die for me, and I will give additional benefits in addition to the reward I deserve.

Everyone feels novel.

But Ying Zheng felt that this novelty needed to be fair.

So he set a quota.

The pensions that every person who died in battle could receive are fixed.

Twenty thousand yuan.

Giving 20,000 yuan to each family is an idea that requires many people to complete in an era when money is half a tael of copper coins.

Because 20,000 yuan needs to be counted and taken away.

When Ju Zizhou came, Ying Zheng was so anxious that he looked like an ant on a hot pan.

He had fine beads of sweat on his head, and he could not see the calmness of killing Lu Buwei on his face.

At this time, he was a child under fifteen years old.

"Have the accounts been correct?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"By the way, a total of 6,341 people were killed in this battle! A pension of 12,682 million yuan should be paid."

In fact, of course it is impossible to have so much money.

Even though Ying Zheng had just confiscated most of Lu Buwei's property, he didn't have so many copper coins to call.

Therefore, the pension can only be distributed fairly with the copper coins that can be obtained at present, and then the difference can be compensated with gold, brocade, pearls and jade.

"How much money is available now?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"Coins are definitely not enough!" Ying Zheng scratched his head: "That's why I asked you to help."

"..." Ju Zizhou pursed his lips and was speechless: "When you think about it, how can those who rule the country do this?"

"You are still blaming me!" Ying Zheng was angry: "You asked me about the pension at the beginning!"

"There is no need to give so much money. Isn't it the same if the law stipulates the generous measures?" Ju Zizhou sighed: "Try to let the local people send rice, grain, salt, oil, meat, vegetables and other things to the families of these loyal and martyrs regularly, tailor clothes in winter, and send salt, salt, oil, meat and vegetables to the families of these loyal and martyrs..."

"When things are about to come, you can tell me these nonsense!" Ying Zheng kicked Ju Zizhou in the knee: "What have you done long ago?"

"Then have you told me about the issue of paying the pension?"

"not yet."

"That's to be remedy." Ju Zizhou said: "Just stop sending it, use it..."

"No!" Ying Zheng refused: "Must send it!"

"What you said should show our differences from the beginning!"

"Even if it's too serious, I'll make the mistake!"

Ying Zheng said: "If this is not the case, how can those soldiers who have no way to contact me know that I am really thinking about them?"

Ju Zizhou nodded: "That's OK, but you still have to think clearly. Tomorrow is the time to go out and distribute rewards to the soldiers."

"Now, it is impossible for you to distribute the pension and send it to everyone in front of you, so that the deceased fellow villagers can send the money back!"

“Time does not allow.”

"But you still want to pay a pension."

"So should there be a simpler way to let the soldiers see clearly?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"What's the solution?" Ying Zheng frowned: "Don't hide it, hurry up."

"Let them get it by themselves, and the amount they get is as much as they get." Ju Zizhou said: "In the current Qin law, soldiers have no money to get it when they go to war."

"And the military system you wanted to change before was to make them like Qin officials and Qin officials, with monthly salary."

"Just start this time and get everyone's salary back!" Ju Zizhou said: "Let them take the money away one by one in your hands."

"The deceased will be collected by fellow villagers, and after the salary is paid, the money is put in a big jar, so that the deceased fellow villagers can grab the money, and catch it three or five times, and the pension will be as much as you catch it."

"In this way, they can make it possible to make them know your government to the greatest extent."

"In the future, if you think there is too little, you can also customize the minimum standards. If you are not enough, you will reissue it!"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

"Also, the most important thing is not money." Ju Zizhou said: "It is to ensure that Cheng Ding's family can live a good life."

"Hasn't it been discussed before?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"I discussed it before because you didn't tell me that the drought around Xianyang is as serious!" Ju Zizhou was dissatisfied: "You dare to delay such a big deal and not tell me."

"I don't know either!" Ying Zheng frowned: "I haven't left the palace to do my job for a long time. I only know that it hasn't rained for a long time, and I don't know how serious the drought is. Moreover, I also asked the farmers' associations to help farmers water the land some time ago!"

"The meaning of watering the land is not very important, so I'd better build a few canals." Ju Zizhou said: "In this situation around Xianyang, the rivers do not lack water, but the ground is short of water."

"After the spring next year," Ying Zheng said: "What's the matter of soldiers' salary?"

"That's it."

Ying Zheng nodded, so that people would no longer have to count the money to pack it up, but instead put all the copper coins together, and sent Zhao Gao to the peasant association to wash all the wheelbarrows and send them to the palace.

Tonight, not many people in the palace can sleep.

In the second half of the night, Ying Zheng and Ju Zizhou also joined the work team.

At dusk, the wheelbarrow was delivered, filled with half a tael of copper coins.

In the early morning, the cold wind blows, and the white frost falls; in the sunrise, the stars fade away, and the east is stained.
