Chapter 188: No Receiving Medicine
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. When the Qin Dynasty was plotting against the alien races on the grassland, the remnants of the six kingdoms were also plotting against the Qin Dynasty. Although the people in the world are now living and working in peace, the remnants of the six kingdoms are still uneasy. They always want to restore the country, and the lives and deaths of the sentient beings are not worth mentioning in their eyes. The people in the world are just chess pieces of game.
In the past two years, the First Emperor has changed the Qin law and abolished the strict Qin law, so that the people are no longer afraid of being implicated for no reason. Under the new laws of the Qin Dynasty, there are no more cadres and the Yi tribes except for the great crimes of rebellion, and the people do not have to worry about being implicated innocently by their neighbors and relatives.
The popularization of new agricultural tools and grain plants has also allowed the people to have enough food for the first time. It has even made the people of Daqin go from two meals a day to three meals a day. The warm body of food and clothing naturally becomes stronger, and the mortality rate of the people is also greatly reduced.
The change of the official system and the rectification of the official style lets officials know that the law cannot be ignored, so that the people have a way to complain and a way to calm the wrongs. The rights are locked in a cage and no longer suppress the people as they once did.
The bidding system contracts the project to the merchants, and the merchants hire people to work, allowing people to make investments in busy farming matters.
Although the lives of the people of the Qin Dynasty are getting better and better, there are always some restless people, such as Zhang Liang.
Xia Xiang, Maling Mountain
As the secret son of Li Chen who was placed in the Xiang clan, Xiang Bo has been a little worried recently, and can even be said to be worried.
Although he had successfully entered the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu seemed to feel guilty because he gave up on him that day and never doubted him. However, Zhang Liang seemed to have always been a little vigilant about him, but now Xiang Yu obeyed Zhang Liang's will, so Xiang Bo has never been able to enter the core of Xiang Yu's group.
These days, Zhang Liang seemed to have been planning something. Although Maling Mountain is nominally the base of the Xiang clan, not many people have actually come. Everyone has been put down by Zhang Liang to perform any tasks.
In Xiang Bo's opinion, Xiang Yu and others will be defeated sooner or later. The Qin Dynasty is an unstoppable behemoth for them. Whether it is Zhang Liang or Xiang Yu, they are all grasshoppers in the autumn and cannot grow. Xiang Bo doesn't want to be buried with them, and even wants to make a great contribution, so he eagerly wants to find out Zhang Liang's plan.
"Xiangzhuang, do you want to go down the mountain, too?"
"The military advisor asked me to go down the mountain to buy food, so we might as well go down the mountain together." Xiang Bo happened to "meet" Xiang Zhuang on the way down the mountain.
Zhang Liang's plan is extremely meticulous, and all the Xiang children have their own tasks. In order to prevent leaks from happening, Zhang Liang can only know the tasks themselves. Xiang Bo is not trusted by Zhang Liang, and under Zhang Liang's arrangement, he works day after day to buy food.
This time, the encounter with Xiang Zhuang was the result of Xiang Bo's plan for many days. Xiang Zhuang was deeply trusted by Zhang Liang and did important aspects of the plan. Xiang Zhuang was also the person who knew the most about the plan except Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, so it is naturally the best choice to find out the news from him.
"Xiangzhuang, do you know that we are buying grain in a lot. Those wealthy businessmen are vampires, and they have increased the price of grain by 30%. If you want me to say that the military advisor is really crazy, and we cultivate some potatoes and sweet potatoes on the terraces we have cultivated ourselves will be enough for daily food. This large amount of money is going to buy grain. Do you think the military advisor is crazy?" Xiang Bo complained unintentionally.
"What do you know? Now they will sell it to us for 30%. Let's sell it to them for 30% tomorrow." Xiang Zhuang said with a meaning.
"You guy is just talking nonsense. Every household has full food. It will be harvested in autumn in more than a month. Who would buy the food we stock three times?" Xiang Bo asked.
"..." Xiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Zhang Liang's instructions. Zhang Liang once told him that the plan must be kept confidential, especially not to reveal it to Xiang Bo. Xiang Zhuang grew up with Xiang Bo, so he naturally did not believe that Xiang Bo would be rebellious. But when Zhang Liang was planning every time, Xiang Zhuang would subconsciously obey Zhang Liang's arrangements.
"Don't worry about so much, in short, it's definitely true that the military advisor is." Xiang Zhuang responded.
"If you listen to the military advisor, you will listen to the military advisor everything. If you don't know, you think our surname is Zhang." Xiang Bo muttered with dissatisfaction.
After going down the mountain, the two separated. Xiang Bo still went to the city to buy grain, while Xiang Zhuang disappeared.
"Do you know, there have been fools who have been purchasing grain in recent days. They need coarse grains and fine grains, and it is said that they even need bran for donkeys."
“Where is the price?”
"The price, the price can be 30% higher than the market price."
At first, Xiang Bo only purchased grain from the grain store, but now the people in Xiaxiang City seem to be crazy and began to sell their food stocks. You should know that since the popularization of new crops, the output of grain has become higher and higher, while the price of grain has become lower and lower. Now, there are young people who buy grains at a market price of 30% higher than that of 30% of the market price, which is naturally a good business. And the demand for collection is imminent, and the family only needs to leave food for one or two months, and the new grain will come down until the autumn harvest is harvested.
As soon as the gate of the grain collection site opened, the people immediately flocked in, rushing to push and sell their food first, and naturally they would not refuse the grain collection site. As long as you sell grain, I would dare to collect grain.
Xiang Bo looked at the people who were scrambling to sell food, and felt uneasy in his heart. Although he had not heard any effective news, after thinking about it, he still wrote a letter about the recent matter of the Xiang clan and secretly sent it to the contact point in secret.
Xiaxiang, Qinghe Village
Qinghe Village is a large village with a total of more than 1,000 households and more than 5,000 people in the village. Eighty percent of the people in the village are surnamed Xiang.
"Have you put the medicine?"
It was night, and conversation came from the woods in the distance.
"When it comes to irrigation, the medicine is poured into the well they used to irrigate the fields."
"Brother Zhuang, is this medicine useful?"
"I see that the millet in the field is green and strong."
"What do you know? The greener and stronger the millet is now, and when it falls, it becomes less and less food."
"Brother Zhuang, but if fruits cannot grow in the field, many people will starve to death by then. There are many people in Qinghe Village who have been married to our Xiang family."
"Ba."
"Why do you care about so much? If you don't starve to death, you have to come. Now, we are talking about collecting all the surplus grains. Only they will follow us to fight against Qin, and then we will give them food." Xiang Zhuang said in a low voice.
Zhang Liang's plan was centered on the following phases, involving many counties. Countless Xiang's children took the peasant's medicine to the county towns around Xiaxiang. Xiang's control over Xiaxiang was very strong. After this operation, he was afraid that 90% of the fields of Xiaxiang would not be harvested. Although the Xiaxiang was so serious in the rest, it would inevitably be implicated.
