It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 491 Kuaiji County, the Han Dynasty

Kuaiji County Governor's Office
It’s the one-year assessment period.

The county magistrate is in charge of all county affairs, with agriculture being one of the key areas of assessment, and he is required to monitor the progress of agricultural affairs in each county.

The county magistrate Yin Tong was sitting at a desk beside him, writing quickly on a bamboo slip, recording this year's agricultural harvest.

Although the farm work was messy, it was peaceful, and this year's harvest was no different from previous years.

A middle-aged man stood beside Yin Tong, his broad shoulders showing the wrinkles of his casual clothes.

"Sir, are we going to follow the same method as in previous years for this season's seedling season?"

The person who spoke was a simple-looking man named Tsuyoshi Toda.

He was responsible for coordinating farmland management, land distribution and tax collection throughout the county. He also managed farmland reclamation, crop planting and farm implement distribution throughout the county.

Yin Tong glanced at the farm tools in the boxes that had been transported all the way here from Xianyang, and felt contempt.

"These junks really have that magical power. They are not treating my Chu Centennial Sacrifice as a joke."

"Sir, the person who sent it said..."

"Can you finish it in one breath?" Yin Tong glared at him.

"...Last year, the imperial court assigned us to be the place where new agricultural tools were promoted...This thing was ordered by the emperor to be tested. If we,"

After Yin Tong finished writing the letter, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can Qin and the Three Jins be the same as here?"

Yin Tong was given a headache by the people above him. He was so angry that he opened all the boxes while talking.

"Look, I know even though I'm not good at farming. Most of the cattle here are water buffaloes. We grow rice, not millet or wheat. What do those officials living in Xianyang know about farming? They just give random orders!"

Tian Sefu was stunned. Those things that he had never seen before caught his attention.

In particular, one of the farm tools was called the "curved plow", which was almost the same as the blueprint he had collected.

Tian Sufu couldn't help being a little stunned.

"This thing... is really rare..."

There is also a box, which is said to contain rice seedlings.

He wanted to see it, but his superior was speaking, so he could only stop talking.

Yin Tongdao said: "Although Wang Jian has been stationed in Chu for five years, he has never taken care of the farming of grain and agricultural tools. Since Wei Ju became the Minister of Agriculture, he has been making new things. Why do we need to send people here to give instructions? What is there to teach? A prince of the royal family, let alone plowing the land, does he know the time to sow seeds?"

Yin Tong was a descendant of the old nobles of Chu. He felt that he could figure out what the Qin people were up to without any hesitation.

Sending people to guide farming is fake, secret surveillance is real.

Ying Zheng first moved the royal nobles of the Three Jins to Xianyang, and then Li Xian killed the Wu tribe in Chu, causing panic among the people.

In a country that does not believe in witches and gods, Yin Tong was too scared to react.

The emperor is far away and there is nothing he can do even if he doesn't implement it.

Compared with the rule of the previous Chu king.

Old nobles like them have never paid taxes.

And now...you have to pay fishing tax when fishing in the mountains and swamps.

Yin Tong felt that he had already sincerely submitted to the Qin rulers by persuading the Chu people to pay the full annual agricultural tax of Kuaiji County!

"Who knows whether the policy is implemented in the fertile areas of Guanzhong and Yingchuan?"

"Then, sir, this...if an inspector comes to inspect, I am worried..."

Yin Tong stared at the box of seeds.

"Who can guarantee that the harvest will be better than in previous years? If you can't pay the tax, then it's either you or me who will be killed. Or can you take this responsibility alone?"

"The lower officials are frightened."

"If something happens, it won't be the Qin people who starve to death." Yin Tong cursed.

With a bang, the box was slammed shut.

"Go find some sprouted rice seeds and tell the official that they are no longer suitable for cultivation."

"Yes."

"Those officials in Xianyang still want to treat the people of our Chu land like animals? I will never let this happen!"

Dutian Shufu resigned from the county magistrate's office.

He was thinking about what to do.

Just then, a child about eight years old was walking quickly in front of the mansion gate, following his donkey cart.

At the end of the yellow wall there was a young woman who looked unfamiliar and seemed to be looking at them.

He had no time to take care of the child and was about to take him away.

The child kept staring at him, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed to me.

His heart skipped a beat...it couldn't be his child...

Dutianshoufu looked around and saw no one. The child in short brown cloth was a little dirty and came from nowhere. He pinched the child's chubby face, but before he used much force, the child started screaming.

"Ahhhhh, Uncle Zhou is going to kill someone!"

……

Zhou Bo paused. Judging from this style, he immediately understood whose child this was.

"Hey! Shut up!"

He looked around and shouted, "Cao!"

Zhou Bo covered the child's mouth. "Cao, come out now!"

A woman wrapped in a rattan cloth quickly emerged from behind the earth wall. She tightened the bag in her hand, tightly covering the bag of dry food that was left.

"What the hell are you doing? This is the only place you and this kid can come to!"

Cao didn't answer. She hugged her son and stared at him, "What can I do? This year's condition looks bad. I can't just wait to die in my hometown!"

Tian Sefu took a deep breath and called her to a secluded place. "Then you can't run around. This is not two or three years ago. Even though this is Kuaiji County, the control here is strict and the population cannot move around freely."

Cao tried to calm down her anger, "Then tell me, brother, where has the Liu family been all these years?"

"I don't know that either."

"You don't know?" Cao was so angry that her body was shaking. "Very good. Zhou Bo, very good. The official who came from Xianyang is like pie in the sky! You are all prominent and prosperous, but you left me, an orphan and a widow, at home. You don't want me to make a fuss or go to look for someone, then who can I complain to?!"

Zhou Bo was much more honest than those others, but a little dull.

"...It's not like it was a pie in the sky for me. I make a living by weaving and making silkworm breeding equipment. I do farm work... If you want to say it's a pie in the sky... Brother Liu... He doesn't know anything, but he was taken away by that adult. This is..."

Zhou Bo showed a difficult expression, "I heard that the court has been investigating corrupt officials recently, and that Prime Minister Li is leading the charge... Could it be that..."

Cao stared at him and spat, "Are you dying of longing for something good?"

"Mom, was Dad killed because he was a corrupt official…" Cao slapped the little fat boy, and he was stunned.

Zhou Bo thought, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.

In the 223th year of King Zheng of Qin (222 BC), Qin conquered Chu. In the th year ( BC), Qin general Wang Jian "conquered the southern area of ​​Jingjiang, subdued the King of Yue, and established Kuaiji County."

Taishan Palace
Zheng Li was wearing a long skirt, and Ying Zheng personally saw her off, holding her hand.

She turned around, looked at the two children in front of her, and gave Fusu some instructions.

Then, she called Ying Hehua over and patted the back of her hand, "This is all the Queen Mother can help you with."

For her, the title of Queen Mother brought her half joy and half sorrow.

"My Queen Mother must be careful when she returns to the palace... It would be best if no one leaked the news that my father had mentioned at Mount Tai about disbanding the harem."

"The Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded, and the secret guards must stay in Kuaiji to protect you."

Zheng Li said this as she pinned a fluorite hairpin into her hair.

The emerald is as clear as clear water. From the head to the tail of the hairpin, it is smooth all over and gradually turns into dark black.

"This is my mother's favorite hairpin."

Zheng Li put the hairpin on her. "On the way to Kuaiji, you have to rely on yourself."

Zheng Li's eyes were kind and gentle. "Go ahead."

Half a month later, she returned to Xianyang and went to the palace of Queen Dowager Zhao first.

During this half month, Ying Zheng was relatively normal throughout the journey.

At first, when Xu Zhi heard that Ying Zheng had summoned Fusu to join the group, he was actually quite panicked.

Fusu clearly told her not to trade her marriage for anything, but she did it anyway, and it was more absurd than he had imagined.

She moved slowly and thought about going back with Zheng Li.

Since it was an incognito visit, a wealthy family always had a head who had a stern face, and the one favored by the head of the family was mostly a dandy young man.

Xu Zhi often changed his clothes, and when he wore men's clothing, he looked a little domineering.

She barely had to act.

That condescending look is very much like Ying Zheng.

But her brother seemed to have different genes from them. Even after serving in the army for many years, the Confucian gentleness and courtesy had never faded from him.

Fusu was dressed simply, with a crown on his head and an ordinary black robe, but his outstanding appearance could not be concealed. His every move exuded nobility and elegance.

Xu Zhi failed to escape and was brought to Fusu by Meng Yi.

However, his first sentence was nothing else.

"How did it become like this? Hehua, who bullied you during the past few months I was in Shangjun?"

Xu Zhi's heart trembled.

Fusu glanced at Meng Yi with a questioning look in his eyes.

"It has nothing to do with Lord Meng." Xu Zhi was worried that Fusu had heard the gossip from the past few days.

"That's Li Xian? How dare he do such a ridiculous thing in Changle Palace."

"No. It was my own idea."

"You?" Fusu didn't believe it. She had gone through a lot of trouble to marry Zhang Liang. Now, with this blank edict in her hand, how could she be willing to cut off her future?
Fusu thought, even if Zhang Liang left Xianyang, as long as his sister wanted, he didn't mind using his status as the eldest son to let Zhang Liang think carefully about what he had promised him in Chengfu.

She raised her eyes and looked into the eyes that had the same contours as hers. "Can I not get married?"

"If this is what Ho Wah wants, why not?"

He half felt distressed and half tried to comfort her, "Father is right. You really make me worry."

He looked at the bottles and jars on her desk that she hadn't had time to clean up for a long time...

When she noticed that his attention was diverted by the medicine bottles, she quickly ordered his men to leave.

Fusu looked at her. The flowing cloud pattern embroidered with silver thread on her sleeves glowed softly in the twilight.

"Hehua, I don't want you to feel unhappy about anything or anyone."

"You have been more sensitive than me since you were a child, and your temper is similar to that of the emperor. I remember that you were only six years old that year, but you told me that the emperor was not scary at all. When you went to Chu alone at the age of sixteen, you were seriously injured when you came back. I have never seen you smile since then.

I often wonder why my sister knows so many things. These days, the master said that my little sister is like a god. I think if this is the price of precocity, I hope you don't know so much.

...This is probably why she avoided talking to her brother and mother for a long time.

They allow her to be weak and they want her to be happy.

No one in the world would question that they didn't have the ability to protect her.

Ghosts and monsters, each showing their magical powers.

Mo Qi and Shi Ji could not give her an answer either.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
There will be no answer unless you reach the end.

Their love became her hardest shell, requiring fate and trajectory to submit to her determination and sharp blade.

It was as if she had just wiped her tears and came out of the house, planning to take a walk around Huaiyin first. Han Xin's cottage was already deserted, and no one saw Han Xin, but she unexpectedly saw a child first.

She heard the woman calling the child's name.

There was a man following behind them, cursing, "Cao, please don't run around. Stay at my house for two days first. Something seems wrong on the road these days. It seems like some important person is coming."

"You're helping me again? What a bullshit big shot." "You want me to live in your house? Am I crazy to live here? My son Liu Fei still needs a father!"

"Mr. Zhou, if you don't let go of me, I'll take action."

Xu Zhi's head buzzed and his heart sank.

Liu Fei, son of Liu Bang.

It’s impossible for Liu Bang and Ying Zheng to meet in the area where Xiang Yu started the rebellion, right?
...The surname Zhou can't be Zhou Bo? Zhou Yafu's father. A good friend of Xiao He.

Xu Zhi had seen big scenes before, but none of them had impacted her suddenly like this.

Chen Ping and Lu Heng are of the same generation as her.

These people are about the same age as Ying Zheng.

"Master?"

"Find out their identities and whereabouts." Xu Zhi added, "Tell Li Xian to find time to come to Kuaiji as soon as possible."

Yin Tong (? - September 209 BC) was the acting governor of Kuaiji in the late Qin Dynasty. When the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, Yin Tong responded to the uprising in order to protect himself and wanted to raise an army to fight against Qin, but he was killed by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, former nobles of the Chu State.

Liu Fei (?-189 BC) was a native of the Western Han Dynasty. He was the eldest son of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. His biological mother was Emperor Gaozu's concubine Cao Ji[1] and his legal mother was Empress Lü. He was granted the title of King of Qi and given the posthumous title Daohui.

Zhou Bo (? - 169 BC), a native of Pei County (now Pei County, Jiangsu), was a military strategist and politician in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, believed that Zhou Bo was "solid and not very cultured" and could be entrusted with important matters. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jiang for his outstanding military achievements. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, he was appointed Right Prime Minister.
