Chapter 180 Official Procurement

Ji Nu and Tietou were taken away, and the villagers in Dahuaishu Village were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

What's more exciting than a nouveau riche being down on his luck?

In the middle of the night, they were still jealous of this iron head. He used to be poor and far worse than them, but today he actually climbed above them.

As a result, a few hours later, Tietou was caught, which was really satisfying.

Li Zheng had the courage to stop a pawn and asked politely: "Excuse me, what crime did this Tietou commit?"

The soldier glared: "What, you want to excuse him?"

Li Zheng waved his hand quickly and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I just asked about it and took it as a warning."

The pawn pointed to the hemp rope and said, "Ask him."

Then, they took the iron head and drove the ox cart away.

Ma Sheng said with some embarrassment: "Yes... I was the one who accused him of rape and got Tie Tou arrested."

After saying this, Ma Sheng waited nervously for the villagers' reaction.

However... no one criticized him, no one even showed dissatisfaction. Everyone looked at him in awe. Of course, the fear was greater than the respect.

Ma Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he finally believed Yan Le's words: "This is the first case of rape in Dahuaishu Village. When I do this for the first time, I always feel a little uneasy and uncomfortable. However, after doing it,

Then I feel it’s not bad. From now on, I will enjoy it endlessly and can’t stop.”

"In other villages, as well as in the theater city, Qian Shou has long been accustomed to reporting rape. Dahuaishu Village will also become accustomed to it."

The villagers gathered around him with fawning faces and asked, "Ma Sheng, what did this iron head do?"

Ma Sheng said: "The Ji slave he brought back was a fugitive slave from Qidi. These people must be treacherous and evil people. The two of them suddenly made a fortune, so they must have become thieves.

.”

"I reported rape in the middle of the night and reported it to the city magistrate. The magistrate personally sent troops to arrest me."

The villagers looked at the hemp rope with great admiration: "You... have you met the county magistrate?"

Ma Sheng said: "This is natural."

Then, he took out the gold in his arms, waved it in front of everyone, and said, "This is what the county magistrate rewarded."

All the villagers were filled with emotion and regretted that they did not have such a good brain to guess that Tietou was a thief early on.

Suddenly someone asked in confusion: "Didn't this Tietou enter Shangjun's Courtyard?"

Ma Sheng sneered: "You were deceived by him. Who is he? Why should he enter Shang Jun's Villa?"

Everyone thought about it and realized that this made sense. There were people in Dahuaishu Village who were more capable than Tietou. There were so many people there that Tietou couldn't get his turn no matter what.

Someone also asked about the experience of hemp rope in the county magistrate's house.

The hemp rope immediately started blowing loudly. In fact, when he arrived, it was already dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. What's more, he was very nervous at the time and didn't dare to look around.

At this time, in order not to lose face, Hemp Rope began to make random things based on his imagination.

These villagers were fascinated by what they heard and said, "So there is gold everywhere in the county magistrate's mansion? How much does it cost?"

Ma Sheng said disdainfully: "What's money? What's important is nobility. I saw with my own eyes that the county magistrate's hoes are all made of gold."

All the villagers were amazed.

That night, the status of hemp rope in Dahuaishu Village skyrocketed, surpassing that of Li Zheng.

After all, Ma Sheng is someone who has met the county magistrate. Rounding it all off, he is considered to have made friends with the county magistrate.

As for Tietou and Jinu, they were imprisoned and prepared to be tried tomorrow.

The two people discussed it all the way, and finally felt that this must be a misunderstanding. If the interrogation is clear tomorrow, he will be released.

At other times, they might have been scared to death, but now, after all, they were from Shangjun Courtyard, so they still felt a little unsure.

After thinking about this clearly, the two relaxed and prepared to sleep.

Tietou said: "Brother, I think sleeping in the prison is much better than sleeping on a bullock cart. Although there is no quilt here, there is straw. There are four walls, so the wind will not leak everywhere."

Ji Nu said contemptuously: "Brother, look at you like a poor ghost. Don't embarrass me again."

After despising Tietou, Ji Nu lay down on the straw contentedly and sighed comfortably: "It's really good to sleep in prison."

Afterwards, Ji Nu fell into sleep. And Tietou soon began to snore.

…………

The cock crows three times and the east turns white. Li Shui wakes up consciously.

He has not returned to Shangjun's villa for several days and has been sleeping in the alchemy room. Every day at dawn, Weiyang will be waiting at the door with Fu Yao.

Li Shui was in pain and happy, but Fu Yao was in unspeakable pain. Now Fu Yao felt like vomiting when he heard about Liu Bei.

Li Shui shook his head. Now he has talked about more than half of the Three Kingdoms. Guan Yunchang is about to defeat Maicheng.

Li Shui was getting dressed while thinking, planning to change this ending. Otherwise, Wei Young might be depressed for a long time.

Anyway, no one knows about the Three Kingdoms in this era, so it can be changed at will.

It's better to let Guan Yun grow up to show his power and destroy Soochow. Then turn around and attack Liu Bei from east to west to destroy Cao Cao...

This has an advantage, that is, it can change the Three Kingdoms into a great unity. However, it also has a disadvantage. In this way, there will really be no end to the discussion of the Three Kingdoms.

Li Shui sighed, opened the door, and found no one outside.

Li Shui was a little puzzled: "What? Wei Yang stayed in bed today? Wasn't yesterday's story exciting? It shouldn't be. Guan Yu was attacked by a sneak attack, which is what makes people worried..."

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly came over in a hurry and said to Li Shui: "Excommunicate the immortal, your majesty invites you."

Li Shui was a little puzzled: "It's just dawn now, why is your Majesty looking for me? Has my story of the Three Kingdoms already reached his ears?"

When the young eunuch saw Li Shuimu standing there blankly, as if he had no intention of moving, he couldn't help but urge: "Ban the Immortal, banish the Immortal?"

Li Shui yelled and followed the young eunuch towards Ying Zheng's study. On the way, they met the eunuch in Weiyang's palace again. The young eunuch said that Princess Weiyang was unwell and could not come today.

Li Shui was taken aback and asked nervously: "Not feeling well? What's going on? What's the disease?"

The young eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about banishing the immortal, it's just a slight cough."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Li Shui was a little surprised: "Cough? I am the one who tells stories every day. I haven't coughed yet. Why is she coughing?"

After a short time, Li Shui arrived at Ying Zheng's study. After entering, Li Shui found that there were many people inside. Wang Wan, Li Si, Chun Yuyue, Li Xin... basically all important officials in the court.

When they saw Li Shui coming, they all nodded slightly towards him.

When Ying Zheng saw that everyone had arrived, he said calmly: "Recently, many people have come forward to report that the emigration of wealthy people has caused a stir in the world. There are signs of instability everywhere. What do you think, sir?"

Afterwards, Ying Zheng handed several bamboo slips to those present.

Li Shui still has a little trouble reading Qin Xiaozhuan, but if he reads slowly, he can still understand it.

This memorial said that most of the powerful people in various places are good people. They encourage farmers and mulberry trees in the local area and provide relief to the poor and weak. They help the government maintain public order and collect rent and taxes, which is of great use.

Once the rich and powerful are relocated, the county governors and magistrates will be at a loss. It is like a person who loses his eyes and ears and becomes blind or deaf.

By that time, the world will definitely be in chaos. Those Guizhou leaders may take the opportunity to do evil.

What's more, the wealthy people abide by the law and have never done anything wrong. There is no reason for the imperial court to force them to move to Xianyang.

The memorial was written in a polite way, but it listed many reasons one by one, and it was very fierce in opposing the relocation of wealthy people.

After Li Si finished reading, he shook his head and said, "All the reasons in this book are reasonable."

Ying Zheng asked: "So, does Tingwei agree to stop the migration of wealthy people?"

Li Si said: "Not only do I disapprove of stopping, but I also suggest that your majesty step up your efforts and strictly order wealthy people from all over the country to come to Xianyang quickly without making any mistakes."

Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Li Si said: "This memorial says that the wealthy people in various places are the eyes and ears of the county magistrate. After reading this, I broke out in cold sweat."

"Your Majesty, the powerful people are deeply entangled in the countryside and control countless people. When the county magistrate takes office, he will have to rely on these powerful people. Either he cooperates with the powerful people, or he is simply controlled by the powerful people."

"If the world is stable, this situation can be maintained. The most powerful people can do it is to hide the population. If the world changes, they will definitely take advantage of the situation. At that time, the county magistrate will either be killed, and the powerful people will occupy the county.

Or be forced to obey these powerful people and sacrifice their city to become their puppet."

Li Shui looked at Li Si with a little admiration in his heart: "This guy is really talented. He actually almost predicted the outcome of Da Qin."

Ying Zheng said: "So, do you think we should relocate the powerful forces immediately?"

Li Si said: "Yes, we must be urgent and severe. But those who dare to resist will be severely punished. Otherwise, once the county magistrates and governors from various places are connected with the powerful, things will be difficult to handle."

Ying Zheng nodded slowly.

Chunyu Yue, who was next to him, said: "My minister, I naturally agree with the relocation of powerful people. However... there is some truth in what is said in this memorial. The powerful people abide by the law, so why should the court force them to come to Xianyang? I, the Qin Dynasty, uphold the law, and if there is no reason to let them move,

, it seems a bit unreasonable. If people in the world feel that the law is just a piece of paper, then it will be difficult to implement any laws in the future."

Ying Zheng felt that this was reasonable. But after thinking about it, he felt that there was no better solution. How should he do things if he looked forward and backward? He had to do it forcefully. As long as he could achieve his goal, it didn't matter what his reputation was before his death.

Just when Ying Zheng thought of this, his heart suddenly moved. He said to Li Shui: "Huai Guzi, is there anything you can do?"

Li Shui held the bundle of bamboo slips and said quietly: "The bamboo slips are heavy and inconvenient. I suggest that your majesty immediately issue a decree. In the future, all official documents will be written on fairy paper. The output of Shangjun Villa has increased recently, and it will be supplied.

superior."
