Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 179 Chen Ping Didn't Let Me Down

"A Qiu—"

"Grand~~Grand~~Master, you~~"

Wang Li curled up at the corner of the bed, wrapped in a thick fur, and looked at Zhao Kun with a trembling body, his eyes were full of resentment, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably when he wanted to speak.

Looking at his appearance, Zhao Kun couldn't help being a little funny, but he still suppressed his smile and handed him the ginger soup in his hand: "Stop talking, come, drink it while it's hot!"

"No~~don't drink~~"

Wang Li glared, turned his head away, and protested.

Zhao Kun knew he was in the wrong, so he was not angry. He picked up the bowl and sat down beside the bed, saying earnestly, "I'm sorry about what happened tonight, but you also know the relationship between Old Wu and me. I was so happy to see him back then." I forgot about you."

Wang Li thought about it, and felt it made sense, so he turned his head to Zhao Kun and said, "Then~~Then I will suffer from the cold and hunger, so I can't suffer in vain~~"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun smiled: "I can't suffer in vain!"

"OK~~"

Wang Li frowned, then took the bowl, gulped down a sip of the hot soup, and said after a while, "How about the young master agreeing to my request?"

"any request?"

"Build me a knife."

"Knife?"

Zhao Kun asked suspiciously: "Don't you have a weapon? Why make a knife?"

Wang Li chuckled: "I've taken a fancy to the tiger-tooth saber you equipped for the special operations team, but it's too short, I want a bigger one!"

"That's it?"

"That's it! But you can't perfuse me!"

Wang Li said solemnly: "What I want is a good knife, a good knife that can rival Qin Jian!"

A knife comparable to Qin Jian's, so it must be made of steel, right?

However, the matter of steelmaking must be arranged.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kun smiled and agreed: "No problem! As long as you can find me a few good smelting craftsmen, I promise to make you a peerless knife!"

"Really?"

Wang Li's eyes were bright, and he stared at Zhao Kun with burning eyes: "My lord, don't lie to me!"

"Why did I lie to you!"

Zhao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Jiang Chao also said that he wanted a long gun some time ago, and I just want to help you build it together!"

"what?"

Wang Li was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "I've been starving and freezing for several hours, and he opened his mouth to ask for it. It's so unfair!"

"What?" Zhao Kun raised his eyebrows: "You don't want it?"

"."

Wang Li knew Zhao Kun's temper. He was a ruthless person who refused to give anything, so he hesitated for a while, then pouted his neck and said, "Yes! Who said no!"

"Since I have agreed to your request, I will take a good rest. If there is nothing to do tomorrow, let's consider going back to the city."

As Zhao Kun said, he stood up and walked to the window, closed the window tightly, and then said pointedly: "There is something, I want to tell you first, no matter what happens after that, remember, I never lied you!"

"What do you mean by this son?"

"It's nothing interesting, just remember this sentence!"

Zhao Kun waved his hands with a smile, then turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"boom--"

"???"

Wang Li looked at the wooden door with a blank expression on his face.

at the same time.

In the next room, Han Xin and Chen Ping were talking with Wu Cheng.

"Old Wu, we all understand what you mean."

Chen Ping glanced at Han Xin, and then said to Wu Cheng: "Although we have only met for a short time today, Young Master Kun left a deep impression on me, so I want to see it again."

"My thoughts are the same as Xiao Chen's, and I want to see it again."

Han Xin nodded and said in agreement: "When I came to Pinyang with Old Wu, I also wanted to see the ability of Young Master Kun. If it is what Old Wu said, I would be willing to be a guard!"

"In that case, I can only follow you, Old Wu."

Wu Cheng smiled, then took out two money bags from his arms and handed them to Han Xin and Chen Ping: "You are new to Pinyang, and you have to live, so take this money and use it first, and tell me when you make a final decision." I!"

"This"

Seeing Wu Cheng handing over the purse, the two looked at each other with some hesitation.

Seeing this, Wu Cheng put the money bag into the hands of the two with a smile, and said, "You guys come to Pinyang with me, and you trust me, so naturally I can't treat you badly;
Whether you choose to leave or stay, I will not blame you! "

Hearing this, Chen Ping pursed his lips, then squeezed his purse tightly, and cupped his hands towards Wu Cheng: "Old Wu, don't worry, if there is something useful in the future, just speak up!"

"Yes, if we are useful in the future, just ask!"

Han Xin clasped his hands in agreement, and Wu Cheng waved his hands with a smile: "Hehe, actually, I really want you to stay and help the young master, but I also know the young master's temper, he doesn't like to force others, and he doesn't want to repay favors;
So, stay or stay is up to you! "

The two nodded silently when they heard the words.

Wu Cheng didn't stay for long, so he got up and left.

The next morning, the sun was shining.

Li Chang Bosun's wife prepared breakfast early for Zhao Kun and his party.

Because the celebration was very late last night, today's Qiankou Village is extraordinarily quiet.

If they didn't know the details, I'm afraid the officials in the village would knock on doors from door to door, urging them to get up and cultivate.

After all, in the state of Qin, farming is also rewarded for meritorious deeds.

Before Shang Yang's reform, Qin State implemented private ownership of land, but after Shang Yang's reform, Qin State adopted state-owned land.

The state distributes the land to the common people, who have the right to use the land and are no longer exploited by the nobles, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the common people for production.

As a result, Qin's agriculture became extremely developed.

But as time went by, the people became richer and became lazy, so the Qin law also stipulated that killing the enemy is meritorious, and farming is also meritorious. As long as the harvest is large, not only can you be exempted from corvee, but you can also be promoted.

On the contrary, if there is little harvest from farming, the whole family must be enslaved and serve in the government.

Therefore, in order for the people to complete the production tasks, the officials in each village must strictly supervise.

Of course, Qiankou Village belongs to Wang Li's fief, and the income from production also belongs to Wang Li. As long as Wang Li doesn't pursue responsibility, there will be no problem.

But Wang Li didn't have the energy to pursue responsibility. He looked sickly, as if he had caught a cold.

"I have cold medicine here, would you like some?"

Zhao Kun gnawed on the cornbread and asked Wang Li.

Wang Li hung his head, drowsy, and when he heard Zhao Kun's voice, he pulled himself together, waved his hands and said, "No, I'm just a little sleepy, and I want to sleep a little longer!"

"Then eat something before going to sleep."

"A Qiu—"

"I don't want to eat, you can eat, I'm going to sleep!"

Wang Li sneezed, then got up staggeringly, and walked towards his room.

Wu Cheng glanced at him, and then looked at Zhao Kun with some concern; "Is he all right? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, it's just a cold, and he doesn't have a fever. His body will pass after a resistance!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand, and then said to Bosun, "Old Lieutenant, I'm afraid we will stay here for two more days and cause trouble for you."

"Young master, what are you talking about? It's my blessing that you can live here. I'm afraid that the reception is not good and you will neglect the young master!"

When Bosun heard Zhao Kun's words, he was flattered and hurriedly bowed his hands.

Zhao Kun smiled, and then looked at Wu Cheng, Wu Cheng immediately understood, took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Bo Sun: "This is the son's reward for you!"

"This"

Bosun froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hands: "How can this happen!"

"Take it!"

Zhao Kun: "Several of us eat and drink from you. Even if you are the head of the village, you are not rich. If you don't accept it, and spread the word that I, Prince Qin, eat free food, isn't it a joke?"

Bo Sun: "Whoever dares to chew his tongue will be punished severely by the lower officials!"

"Okay, just take it if you tell me, stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing Zhao Kun's displeasure, Bo Sun didn't dare to refuse any more, so he could only take the money bag cautiously, and bowed to Zhao Kun: "Then... I'd rather obey orders..."

Seeing him accept the money bag, Zhao Kun began to drink porridge and eat steamed buns contentedly.

And this scene was seen by Han Xin and Chen Ping, and they couldn't help but move slightly.

"Oh, right!"

Halfway through eating, Zhao Kun seemed to think of something again, and looked up at Bosun: "Old head, there is something I want to ask you."

"If you have anything to ask, son, I will tell you everything."

Bosun put down his chopsticks and responded respectfully.

Zhao Kun frowned: "I remember that in the 31st year of Emperor Qinhuang, the First Emperor ordered, 'Let the head of Guizhou come from the land'. Does this mean that the common people can sell their own land to prepare for emergencies?"

"No!"

Hearing this, Bo Sun shook his head and denied it: "Since Shang Yang's reform, all the fields acquired by the head of Guizhou have been owned by the state. Your Majesty's decree is only aimed at some areas, not the entire Qin Dynasty;

At present, the land in Daqin is divided into three types, one is the state-owned land controlled by the internal history, the other is the land awarded the title, and the last is the real land from the head of Guizhou. "

"Will the taxes from the royal family's fiefdom be turned over to the Qin treasury?"

"Will do!"

Bosun replied: "Qin law stipulates that the taxation of the nobles is the same as that of the heads of Guizhou."

"Does that mean that as long as the royal family pays enough taxes, the officials of Daqin will not interfere with the production in the fief?"

"In principle, this is the case, but the feudal monarch only enjoys food, and has no right to govern the people."

"No civil rights?"

Zhao Kun frowned, a little disappointed.

There is no right to govern the people, which means that you can't use such powerful lines as "Lao Tzu is the law of the king" to bluff people, and you can't raise your arms and shout "The emperor takes turns to do it, come to my house this year" to encourage the people to rebel.

"Although there is no right to govern the people, the emperor has the final say on all matters concerning the land." As if seeing Zhao Kun's disappointment, Bo Sun added with a smile: "In addition, most of the taxes paid by the people are Return to the Lord."

Zhao Kun nodded, thinking about it carefully, it's actually not bad.

After all, the first emperor couldn't even do the enfeoffment system, let alone the country of China.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Kun said again; "Since we only need to pay enough taxes, can we change the production method?"

"How to change?"

Bo Sun looked at Zhao Kun suspiciously.

Zhao Kun chuckled and said, "I want to set up a production team in Qiankou Village."

"You also know my relationship with Wang Li, so my thoughts are basically equal to his decision."

Bosun naturally knew the relationship between Zhao Kun and Wang Li, so he didn't hesitate to ask directly, "What does the young master mean by the production team?"

Zhao Kun explained: "The production team model actually existed in Daqin before, but it was not so specific. I just refined it, mainly dividing the common people into several, or even a dozen production teams. Each team A captain is selected, and the captain manages the production of the team members."

"And the production tools provided by the government are also used together with cattle, so that the production efficiency can be improved."

After listening to Zhao Kun's explanation, Bosun gradually had the concept of production team in his mind.

In fact, as Zhao Kun said, this model did appear in Qin, but due to frequent wars and a sharp drop in population, the land was sparsely populated, and the people did not have to worry about farming, so this model gradually disappeared.

However, this model is not suitable for promotion across the country and can only be promoted in a small area.

After all, if it is out of control, many problems will arise.

After pondering for a while, Bosun stood up and saluted Zhao Kun: "My lord, this method is indeed feasible in the fiefdom. I will arrange it now!"

"and many more!"

Zhao Kun raised his hand to stop Bosun who was about to leave, and said, "I will order people to rebuild the farm tools of the production team, so you don't need to ask the government for them. As for the seeds, you can grow sweet potatoes and potatoes;

The secrecy is the same as before, without a pass, outsiders are not allowed to approach the boundary of Qiankou Village! "

"promise!"

When Bosun heard the words, he promised to leave.

Wu Cheng and Han Xin looked at Zhao Kun with puzzled faces.

"Do you want to ask, why should I do this?"

Zhao Kun glanced at the three of them and smiled.

"Also ask the young master to explain the confusion for us!"

Chen Ping nodded, and cupped his hands.

"The purpose of my doing this is very simple. It is to make Qiankou Village rich, and then drive the people of Pinyang."

"The common people with Frequency Sun?"

Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Why did you want to mobilize the people of Pinyang?"

"Didn't I tell you last night? I want to change Daqin!"

"This"

Wu Cheng shook his head hesitantly and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Great Qin belongs to the First Emperor. Even if you change Qiankou Village, you can't change Great Qin, and if you drive the people of Pinyang, you may be framed for rebellion!"

"As long as the people can live a good life, what's the point of being framed?"

Wu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "My lord, do you have something to hide from me?"

"Old Wu, do you also have something to hide from me?"

Zhao Kun asked back with a half-smile.

Wu Cheng remained silent.

After a while, a voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Zhang San, the Sentinel of Qiankou Village, has caught a spy!"

spy?

Could it be Aminu again?
Thinking about this, Zhao Kun waved his hands a little bit dumbfoundingly: "Bring it in!"

Soon, Zhang San walked in with a dog-beating stick, escorting a heavily tied young man.

Zhao Kun took a closer look and found that it wasn't Aminu, so he couldn't help asking with some doubts: "Who is this?"

"Master Hui, this is Er Mazi from our village!"

Zhang San bowed to Zhao Kun, then pointed at the young man kneeling on the ground and said, "He just came back from his corvee service a while ago, and he was dishonest in the village before, so I kept an eye out and caught him sneaking into the pottery workshop!"

"Sneak into the pottery workshop?"

Zhao Kun looked puzzled, and thought to himself, didn't he ask someone to arrange a servant to work?Why are you still sneaking in?
But Zhang San said again: "At first I thought he was going to help the workers, but I never thought that he secretly recorded the craftsmanship of the pottery workshop!"

"After beating him up, I found out that he was benefited by the Liu Family Taofang and became a spy!"

"Liu Family Taofang?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"When there was no white porcelain, the Liu family pottery workshop was the largest pottery workshop in Pinyang. Now, seeing how we fired beautiful white porcelain, we actually did such a nasty thing!"

Zhang San kicked the young man angrily, then cupped his hands towards Zhao Kun and said, "My lord, Er Mazi is the shame of Qiankou Village, I hope you will punish him severely!"

"No hurry, let me ask first!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand with a smile, and then asked the young people on the ground, "Are you helping them find out the craftsmanship of white porcelain?"

"Master... son... I..."

Er Mazi was so frightened that he stuttered, unable to speak clearly.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun was not angry, and said again: "You just need to tell me, yes, or no?"

"Yes……"

"The craftsmanship of porcelain is extremely complicated, how much have you helped them master?"

Hearing this, the young man looked at Zhao Kun in horror, hesitant to speak.

Zhao Kun raised his hand to signal Jiang Chao to untie him, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I will never send you to the court for justice!"

Seeing that Jiang Chao was untying himself, the young man was a little nervous, looked up at Zhao Kun, and was a little scared, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"first question."

Zhao Kun thought for a while and asked, "Does the Liu family know the raw materials of porcelain?"

"Know...know."

"Okay, the second question, how many processes has the Liu family mastered?"

The young man swallowed, and said hesitantly, "Seven...seven ways."

Ok!

Not very serious……

Zhao Kun thought in this way, and continued to ask: "As a villager of Qiankou Village, why do you want to be a spy?"

Hearing this, Er Mazi said with a bitter face: "Because... because I am a slave laborer who was repatriated, I have nothing when I return to the village, and my younger sister and old mother still need support;
The snow caused the house to collapse, and the sister-in-law was injured. It was all up to my elder brother to take care of her, and the family ran out of food. "

"Without money, I can't buy food, and I can't support my mother and sister. If the son wants to punish me, he can beat me;

I can also hand over all the money Liu Family Taofang gave me, please spare my life and let me go home to take care of my sister and old mother. "

"You spy, don't win the sympathy of the young master here!"

Zhang San next to him frowned and scolded.

"I do not have!"

Hearing the scolding, Er Mazi cried, "I didn't seek sympathy, everything I said is true."

Zhao Kun pursed his lips, and then asked Zhang San: "Is the family background he said true?"

"The family background is true, but the spies are also true!"

Zhang San replied respectfully.

"Ah!"

Zhao Kun let out a "huh", shook his head and said, "Although I have suffered some losses to Taofang, it's not a big problem. It's just for survival. It's not easy to live these days."

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Ping's mouth turned up, and his eyes were full.

In fact, Chen Ping in history did not have a good reputation, but in the end he was appreciated by Liu Bang, and he was able to "make six tricks" to help Liu Bang establish the Western Han Dynasty.

Although Chen Ping still doesn't know Zhao Kun well, he has a good impression of Zhao Kun's way of handling things.

After all, he disdains those who are too mediocre, and he doesn't like those who are too selfish. Only those who know people and do well, and don't stick to small details, are suitable for him.

Chen Ping is like a double-edged sword. If you know how to use it, he is a counselor. If you don’t know how to use it, he is a poisoner.

Obviously, King Jiu of Wei didn't know how to use it, and neither did Xiang Yu, but only Liu Bang knew how to use it, so he became the founding hero.

And Zhao Kun is still in generation development.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Kun leaned over to look at Er Mazi again, and said, "My lord can let you go, but there is one condition, you have to agree to this lord."

"Promise! As long as the young master spares his life, Xiaomin will agree!"

The Ermazi chick nodded like pecking at rice.

"The Taofang is the property of Qiankou Village. As a person of Qiankou Village, you have to get back the losses of Qiankou Village. As long as you tell the details of Liu's Taofang, I will spare you!"

"This……"

Er Mazi said hesitantly, "I don't know much about the details of Liu's pottery workshop."

"Then tell me what you know!"

Zhao Kun said expressionlessly.

Although he wanted to give Er Mazi a chance, if Er Mazi didn't know how to flatter him, he could only hand it over to Jiang Chao for interrogation.

However, Er Mazi was somewhat enlightened.

After hesitating for a while, he finally confessed.

"Jiang Chao, take someone to Liu's pottery workshop."

After hearing Er Mazi's words, Zhao Kun immediately instructed Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao responded and was about to retreat.

At this moment, Chen Ping, who was silent at the side, suddenly said, "Wait, I'll go too!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Kun, Han Xin, Jiang Chao, and Wu Cheng were all taken aback at the same time, looking at Chen Ping with strange faces.

Chen Ping rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Anyway, idleness is idleness, why don't you find something to do."

Han Xin: "..." This guy won't surrender, right?
Wu Cheng: "..." Chen Ping did not disappoint me!

Zhao Kun frowned and waved his hands: "Go if you want!"

"promise!"

In this way, Chen Ping and Jiang Chao went to Liu's Taofang together, and Zhao Kun took Wu Cheng and Han Xin to Wang's Taofang.

Although the matter of Er Mazi was not a big deal, it sounded the alarm for Zhao Kun, that is, he was being targeted!
