Chapter 77 Competing against the Inferior (1)

Everything in Anlu County, in the eyes of Li Si, who took over the Farmers' Association, was full of vitality.

The Qin people here are not concerned about their mental state for the time being. If they only talk about their current situation, they are also very energetic and energetic.

They are happy to do everything that Lis issued orders for them to do, and they have the will and ability to carry out.

When Li Si was a minor official in Chu State, he had never met such a person.

Shifting responsibility, procrastinating, rising when you hear profit, returning when you don’t have profit, thinking about changing when you see something, without perseverance...

In Li Si's opinion, it is normal for such common people.

Those who are willing to do things, have the ability and the spirit of doing things are actually very similar to those "scholars" in Confucianism.

The only difference is that these people are much inferior to the "scholars", and they are often unable to understand the ritual system and cannot read.

"This is the on-duty list for cleaning the roads this month. I took the logistics department to fry them flour, use bacon, and make them according to the old ones."

"Go to collect weapons, armor, and the number of armor must be checked clearly." Li Si handed over a bamboo slip.

Then, with a light promise, his subordinates immediately passed the message.

Soon, the soldiers trotted.

Li Si looked up and looked over: Fifteen people, each of whom was as skin as bronze, were neither the darkness of the poor people that Chu had seen, nor the whiteness of the noble people.

Such a complexion, coupled with that strong body, naturally has a masculine style.

Li Si nodded with relief: "Fifteen people, have you proved to be true?"

In fact, he is already familiar with these fifteen people, but the process still has to be done.

"Report to President, fifteen people are called to come." The fifteen people spoke in unison, with great momentum.

"Okay, then go and get the weapons and armor. After lunch, you will set off and patrol according to the established route, kill the beasts along the way, rescue passers-by, and clear the road."

"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison.

"Okay, go." Li Si waved his hand and looked down at the file.

On top of the file, every word is a summary of the operation of the Anlu County Zhongmeng Association and the production and labor of the people.

Poultry cultivation, livestock use, river repair, road filling, hunting, drug collection, malt sugar cooking, textile progress...

Every piece of it was never touched when he was a minor official in Chu.

Li Si looked at these and gradually became ecstatic.

He went to see those production scenes. Although he was not clear about the inner path, he felt vaguely out of touch.

It is not because of being behind, but because it is too far ahead of the Eastern countries.

Anlu County is now also learning from Xianyang. Locals do not settle for copper coins, but specialize in trading with "work points".

Farmers' associations everywhere have spawned a group of small managers who know how to calculate simply.

After a brief novelty and repulsion, people accepted this illusory "coin".

For them, the only purpose of money is to buy the survival supplies they need.

If leaves can be exchanged for rice and grain, then they believe in leaves; if wooden boards can be exchanged for wine and meat, they believe in wooden boards.

What's more, the work points are the currency promoted by His Majesty the King of Qin.

Due to inconvenient transportation, the population in various places is almost not circulating, so there is almost no work points for cross-regional areas.

Except... merchants.

"Why are those Korean merchants coming again?" Li Si looked at the file.

The file describes the arrival of a group of Korean merchants.

Anlu County is not far from South Korea, but they are not bordered by each other. In theory, Koreans should not leave here if they enter Qin.

But they always come here.

Li Si has been serving as the president of the Farmers Association for three months.

During these three months, Li Si discovered that Anlu County welcomed a group of Korean merchants every month.

This group of merchants exchanged money for work points, and then used the work points to buy some products from the local farmers' association and transported them back to South Korea.

Li Si sent someone to South Korea to quickly exchange this batch of Korean copper coins into needed supplies.

Including but not limited to food, wine, livestock, cloth, and spices.

Among them, spices are hard to come by and are basically sold to places near Xianyang in exchange for supplies elsewhere.

And these Korean merchants...

Li Si thought their arrival was also very interesting.

First of all, they left the closer places and ran to Anlu for a long way, because it was profitable, which could be known without thinking.

Secondly, the unique Liangmi group in Anlu County never bought them every time. Instead, they bought some malt sugar and inferior agricultural tools that were also sold in other counties. This is very interesting.

——According to the police, among the few neighboring counties, Anlu County has the worst agricultural tools.

Instead of buying easy-to-use farm tools, this group of Korean merchants come to buy these that are poorly crafted and broken after ten days or half a month of use. What does it mean?

Li Si could probably guess what they thought.

But... will there really be business to do in the future?

Can't guess thoroughly.

Li Si shook his head and said to Chen Ju: "Let's go and see the Korean merchants later."

"Okay." Chen Ju took his life: "I have already found the house you want for you, and you can move it at any time."

"So fast?" Li Si smacked his tongue.

Chen Ju just took his family from Chu State for less than ten days, and a suitable house was found so quickly?

Is this a coincidence?

Out of caution, Li Si asked casually: "Whose house originally belonged to that house?"

"It was originally the Wu family's residence in the county, but later the Wu family was destroyed and the residence was bought by the Chen family. In recent days, Chen's clan leader Chen An gave birth to a young son. Their family dealt with these blood-contaminated properties, so we bought them."

"Chen?" Li Si's eyes flashed with confusion: "I won't mention the fact that Chen gave birth to a child. Speaking of which, why did the Wu family be exterminated before? And why have I never heard of their family?"

"The Wu family seemed to be the largest in this place before, but because of obstructing His Majesty's establishment of the peasant association, the family had been destroyed. There were four relatives of Wu family who were destroyed together."

"The biggest one... has been exterminated?" Li Si felt a little panic and a little strange.

"Yes." Chen Ju was already used to it.

Li Si couldn't calm down: "Do you think there are some unique seedlings in their homes that have not been cleaned up? Or, the Chen family, who has taken Wu's property, is..."

"Did President Li think too much?" Chen Ju was a little puzzled.

Do all scholars like to think so much?

"It is impossible for anyone to keep Wu's family to keep, and Chen will definitely not dare to have any ideas about you."

"Mr. Wu must be dead! And if Chen, if you touch you, you will have an objection to Your Majesty's political system. At that time, the military leader will point to you, and everyone in my peasant association can fight with a sword, and you will definitely not die in vain!"

Li Si was furious.
