Two hundred and eleventh chapters cut the sacred (twenty-one)

Jiangzhou City is located near the intersection of the two rivers. It is alive because of the river and poor because of the land.

The Qin State had developed land in the past few years, and Jiangzhou City benefited from it, but to be honest, farming could not bring much things to the ground.

Large investment, small profits.

The most practical and stable way here is to rely on the large plain transformed by Dujiangyan to develop some ways beyond farming.

Salt, sugar, spices, fruits that like moisture and heat, poultry and livestock, fungi in the mountains and forests, and game.

These are the hopes for this city and more than a dozen counties around it to become rich.

But to really develop these things, it is normal to have a huge capital in the early stage.

It also requires a highly prestigious person to take the lead so that local farmers are willing to do things according to this plan that ignores the "fundamental" when they have basic survival guarantees.

It will only take three to five years to achieve results.

And today's Qin State has all these elements.

They have the ability, capital, and prestige.

So in the fourteenth year of the king, the peasant association chief named "Wei Liao" who had accumulated military merits and was sent down to communicate with the savage tribe in the mountains and forests did this.

He first asked His Majesty the King of Qin, and spent some effort to concentrate all the taxes and grains of that year in his hands. Then he used the grain to trade with the savage tribe in the mountains, and sent all the grains out for free in several times.

At this price, more than 7,400 people from the 17 savage tribes were willing to submit, including more than 2,200 middle-aged laborers!

With this as a political achievement, Jiangzhou City received a large number of supplies from the court in one year and obtained the privilege of being exempted for five years.

Subsequently, the cultivated land was divided, including chickens, pigs, pigs, spices, rock salt, well salt, and canal transportation.

A rare flat ground was taken to soybeans, and local farmers developed tofu with a little color and fragrance based on this.

Although the technical content is not high, the overall economy has been revitalized all of a sudden.

Compared with the years before the Qin King's Government, life in Jiangzhou City was much better.

The lives of the surrounding counties have also benefited greatly.

At least, it is no longer a world compared to when Ju Zizhou came in the past.

By then, Wei Liao was chatting with some people responsible for improving technology. A group of people said that they could make changes to the textile machine, change the processing of silk, make the cloth tougher, make the silkworm grow bigger, and spit out more silk.

But everyone needs to have a cost to experiment.

Wei Liao knew that these things could not be done in a short while, so he asked one by one, looking for the most reliable one that could significantly change in the shortest time.

The news that Prince Fusu was going to tour the Qin King had already come down a long time ago.

For this reason, Wei Liao waited in the official temple for a few days.

But more than two months have passed and there is no movement, and he has no time or patience to wait.

After all, it's just a "young man".

Even as the eldest son and even with the reputation of benevolence, Wei Liao did not think that the other party could definitely become the next King of Qin.

He had no intention of currying out the other party.

With this time, it is better to do more things and flatter the current Qin King.

His Majesty the King of Qin, who is still in office, now has an unprecedented reputation and power in Qin.

Every family thinks of his immortality, and every household prays that he will never die.

If there is an order, the common people will be willing to save money and pay more food for their use.

If there is anything, even on the rock, he can summon a large number of people to build a miraculous path.

If such a person can enter his grand tomb, he will inevitably be worshipped continuously.

Wei Liao had no other wishes.

I just want to be buried with him.

The world’s tomb is where people should be buried!

As soon as I heard some news, a close friend came to report that Young Master Fusu was here.

Wei Liao thought for a while and nodded: "Let's go and go and meet Mr. Fusu."

The other party came as the envoy of the King of Qin, so he must go to welcome and pay homage.

However, after meeting, Wei Liao was a little disappointed.

With simple conversations and communication, Wei Liao easily estimated Fusu's ability and intelligence level.

His Majesty the Supreme King of Qin, who is more glorious than that, the supreme prince Fusu, is simply a child who has not grown up!

But even children have to serve them well.

After all, the other party holds some more important powers.

Fusu did not realize that Wei Liao's attitude towards him had changed in a short period of time. He only felt that the person in front of him was really a talented person.

Such a talented person would be too talented if he just settled in this mere city and specialized in trivial matters.

However, people like my father are able to make such talented people live in small places and feel at ease with trivial matters.

My father is really amazing!

...

Ning Zhi held her a little sore arm and sighed slightly.

Qin State really had some malicious intentions towards older women who did not marry.

She, an unmarried woman who is twenty-eight years old this year, can almost call herself an "old body", even in her family, the most she feels is not the care and warmth above, but questioning and sarcasm.

Their family is a department that records history, and is called Taishi to the outside world.

The general job is to follow the King of Qin, record big and small things, sort out and summarize, and form historical books.

According to potential rules, the King of Qin does not allow the King of Qin to read.

But in fact, solemn and sacred laws can be a piece of waste paper. This potential rule is no different from nonsense in real life.

What's more, His Majesty the King of Qin is not a person who can be guessed by his past experience.

The work of recording history was previously done by Ning Zhi's grandfather.

But my grandfather was old after all. One day, he ate a goose and fell asleep beautifully, but he never woke up again.

My father originally wanted to take over.

But his ambition was not actually here, but to work with the Mohist school to improve production tools for the common people.

So this important task fell on Ning Zhi.

A woman records the solemn and sacred history.

This is something that has never been seen in the past.

It's also a traitor.

But His Majesty the King of Qin likes such a traitor.

So she was able to directly serve as a Taishi.

But taking on the job of Taishi does not mean smooth sailing.

Instead, this was the beginning of her unfortunateness.

First of all, it is the issue of personal marriage.

Due to the special nature of the "Taishi" work, she is the person who has been with His Majesty the King of Qin for the longest time and is also the person closest to this supreme person.

In theory, many people would approach her out of the consideration of understanding His Majesty the King of Qin.

But in fact there isn't at all.

The second is what she wrote.

Too follow the crowd.

Praise the merits of the King of Qin. This is something that even the roadside boys can do. Do you still need to do it?

Everyone wants to see something that is not so praiseworthy.

What everyone wants is the dark side of His Majesty the King of Qin, who is extremely merit-minded and selfless, who is not known to others.

But Ning Zhi couldn't write it.

So everyone blamed and even spread rumors that she had an affair with the King of Qin, so the King of Qin protected her to become the Grand Historian, and she praised the King of Qin like that.

But these words were just whispering behind their backs.

It will happen if you say it loudly, so even if someone has any objections, they will just secretly make a few sarcastic words.

Ning Zhi was too lazy to pay attention to these things.

She held a box of bamboo slips and slowly summarized them with the lights.

It's the end of the year, so you should always pay attention to it.

Today is an ordinary day, the only difference is that His Majesty the King of Qin drank some wine and worked half an hour less.

There is nothing else.

Ning Zhi rubbed her temples with her fingers.

She was a little tired.

With a diligent person like His Majesty the King of Qin, you can't stand it without a good physique.

This is also a big worry.

She thought that if His Majesty the King of Qin had allowed the schedule tomorrow, she should be able to buy some rouge to reward herself.
