It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The shed was noisy, with more than one person inside.

The man's deep voice rang out, "Brother, this pavilion chief has nothing to do! He always offends people! Now that you have the chance, why don't you just tell them straight!"

"You are such an idiot!" Lu Zhi cursed.

"Sister-in-law? The people from the court have asked us to meet at noon. How can we waste such a good opportunity!"

Lü Zhi said, "Good opportunity? The officials asked us to escort the nobles of the Three Jins. If something goes wrong, how many heads do you have tied to your waist?"

"Brother, we can't miss the opportunity to go to Xianyang."

She knocked the wooden tablet heavily, "Qin law stipulates that if one makes a mistake, the whole clan will be executed!"

"Don't make any noise!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the room became much quieter.

Xu Zhi paused and stopped, and there was a sound from the door bolt.

A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo crown stood in the shadow of the porch. The moonlight above his head and the rustling grass around him added a certain atmosphere.

The cold light of the moon poured into his sleeves, and the wind blew, causing his coarse linen collar to half-open, revealing a winding old scar.

Although he had the same prominent nose, his aura was completely different from Ying Zheng.

He found that there was no one outside the door, and his face was full of suspicion, with a hint of awareness in his eyes.

In a moment, he laughed and said to the two people inside, "What are you arguing about? Is this reliable? It's hard to say." He paused and looked at the woman in the room, "E'ou, you said, we had already promised others to leave Pei County with them, so we should always do what they told us to do. Do we have any choice?"

"…So according to Big Brother, do we still need to do this?"

He looked at the sky outside which was gradually getting brighter for a long time, then smiled and took off the wooden tablet from his waist and threw it casually. The half ounce of silver bounced on the table, making an empty sound.

"Let's wait until the court officials arrive."

Liu Bang's two questions dissolved the unhappiness between Lu Zhi and Lu Wan in the midst of laughter and conversation.

The moonlight shone above the grass, and she motioned for them to leave.

After walking more than a mile, Xu Zhi finally got on the horse.

“…Princess, Liu Bang is just a clerk, and he is a little timid.” Shen Zhi said.

She smiled at her and Li Xian, "He's going to put on a show for us."

Xu Zhi was wary of the judgments that the leading perspective attached to these historical figures, and she could not ignore this extraordinary verbal skill.

On this side, Liu Bang looked at the horseshoe marks thoughtfully.

Lu Wan was still somewhat indignant.

Liu Bang said to himself, "We have no money, no power, and no talent. Why did the county supervisor send us all the way here to take on this job when he didn't want to use the Qin people?"

"Brother, then Lord Li thinks highly of you."

Liu Bang ignored it and was thinking.

Lu Wan continued, "Didn't he ask us to look after his brother before?" Lu Wan lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Speaking of which Chu people with sharp ears don't know about Madam Rong's manifesto. In my opinion, Li Xian is eager to win the credit in order to marry the emperor's daughter. If you lend him a helping hand, then won't he have to worry about the rest of his life?"

Liu Bang shook his head, "...No, no, I need to think about this carefully."

"Then big brother, I will go back to Sishui County with my sister-in-law."

Liu Bang hummed. He was more and more confused about the actions of Li Xian, a man in the court. "You go back first. I'll stay here for a few days." He was silent for a moment. "Maybe someone else will come to see me."

Before leaving, Lu Wan turned back and said to Liu Bang, "Brother Zhou asked you to stay in Kuaiji County for a while. He has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Lü Zhi had already boarded the donkey cart, Lu Wan approached and said, "Oh, brother, have you really forgotten?" "Mother Cao and her son have come from Pei County to look for you!"

Liu Bang changed his silent expression and was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the stool.

Lu Wan immediately passed the buck, "I didn't say a word to Lord Xiao, big brother... hey, big brother,"

Liu Bang did not ask about Cao's mother and son, which made it difficult for Lu Wan to speak - the mother and son were helped by a wealthy businessman from Xianyang, and now the mother and son were in Shanyin County, Kuaiji.

Liu Bang glared at him, "You know everything, do you think she doesn't know?"

"This..." Lu Wan was pushed into the carriage by Liu Bang, and then Liu Bang patted the horse's butt, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and waved at them. ——

The water of Taihu Lake was stirred up by ripples, and the moon was reflected on the lake surface. Just as she could not fish the moon out of the water, she could not step out of it and look at these things while being in them.

Li Xian said, "Princess, you should know that you can't miss the opportunity. Your constant worrying will only lead to complications."

"Before I meet Liu Bang, I need to think about it carefully."

...Her intuition told her that she could not negotiate with these people until she completely got rid of Zhao Gao.

She looked at Shen Zhi who was a few meters away. She wanted to avoid her and ask Li Xian where Lu Ze was.

"How did his father get to know Mo Qi? How much does his family know about the contents of Lü Buwei's Lüshi Chunqiu? Have you ever asked him about these things?"

Lu Ze knew that Li Xian and Zhang Liang had destroyed the axle of Ying Hehua's carriage, and he had no good impression of people like them. Lu Ze wanted to tell Ying Hehua about this when he was in Handan, but he was a subordinate of Zhang Han, so he couldn't say it.

The moonlight was soft, shining on Shen Zhi's face.

"Princess, you don't need to trouble Lord Li for this trip to Shu."

It turns out that things will never wait until she is ready before happening, and those living people will not wait until she understands everything before gradually entering her world.

Everything is moving forward and there is no pause button.

Ying Zheng possessed amazing energy. When he wanted to solve a problem, he would always work all night long.

Speed. This is one of the key points for the Qin monarch and his ministers to do things.

As soon as Li Si returned to the courtyard, it was almost dawn and he ran into Meng Yi and Fusu.

Li Si was about to speak, but Fusu glanced at him and raised his hand to stop him. "I need you to take care of my little sister's reading of the letter."

Li Si was confused by this exhortation. From ancient times to the present, princesses have no right of inheritance, nor do they have the right to participate in politics. Was Fusu being wary of his increasingly ambitious sister, or was he treating her like a brother?
At the sound of the night watchman's drum, the Weiwei broke into the county government's warehouse.

The camphorwood box that was supposed to store the "Twenty-Sixth Year Edict" was filled with unused farm tools.

The county magistrate Yin Tong roared, "According to Qin law, the book must be presented for inspection."

Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slips - it was the original version of "Xiaolu" with the old laws crossed out.

He glanced at him indifferently, "Issue the decree. The taxation of Kuaiji County will be reduced by half, but anyone who privately changes the laws will be punished with the punishment of three generations of the clan."

Yao Jia conveyed Ying Zheng's order, and the county governor Yin Tong threw the Xiezhi crown into the fire, and promulgated new regulations.

The starlight at the hour of Yin illuminated the newly posted imperial edict, and the common people wept as they gathered around the iron plows they had received from the government warehouse.

Ying Zheng stroked the grass knot he got from the old farmer and said to Zhi Su Nei Shi: "After returning to Xianyang, send the drawings of the new plow cart in Shanglin Garden to all the counties under Kuaiji County."

As soon as Xu Zhi returned to the courtyard, he found Li Si smiling at him. He personally said that it was fortunate that Lu Heng was with him last night, which avoided the danger of a carriage accident.

During the Qin Dynasty, there were few people and much land. After a hundred years of war, hundreds of acres of arable land were left barren.

The farmer was shirtless, holding a sickle in one hand, bending over to work, sweating profusely.

The rice fields were steaming with hot and humid air, mixed with the smell of humus soil that went straight into my nostrils.

Old Man Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the calluses on his knuckles scratched his eyelids. His 63-year-old waist was like a rusty hoe handle, making a creaking sound every time he bent. He simply knelt in the mud, his knees sinking into the warm mud, his fingers wandering among the rice seedlings, pinching off the thin stems of barnyard grass one by one.

Dragonflies skimmed across the water, creating tiny ripples in the reflection. The brim of Mr. Chen's straw hat was covered with salt frost, and beads of sweat dripped down the hat string, making subtle "click" sounds when they landed on the rice leaves.

He remembered that when he was young, he could weed half an acre of land in one go. Now, just the two acres of paddy field surrounded by this ridge keeps him busy from the crowing of the cock to noon.

People nearby are weeding, and people far away are pounding rice.

They stood on a slightly higher hill, feeling as if they were looking down on the world. However, Xu Zhi felt something strange in her heart, as the scene before her eyes was almost the same as the oil painting "The Gleaners".

In theory, new agricultural tools such as curved plows and mortars would save a lot of effort and time.

She walked from one ridge of the field to the other, the sun making her eyes dizzy, but Wei Ju's farm tools did not appear.

She couldn't wait any longer and subconsciously wanted to call Shen Zhi, but she had already set off for Shu.

Chen Ping was still thinking about when to go find the man named Liu Bang for his brother.

At this time, Ying Hehua called him, "Come with me." (End of this chapter)
