Chapter 136: The Surname of the World
The people began to coax and ask Hou Ye to put the 'car' back in the square, but everyone didn't see enough. Shi held the megaphone to appease him for a while, but to no avail, Qin Song picked up the megaphone again and said: "Zhuang Zhuang is tired, he is not there, don't you dare to let this thing out, how can you get a little mess again?"
Recalling the moment when this steel monster hit the guardrail, the sturdy guardrail, which is more than two feet long, is broken like tofu scum and falls like a matchstick, which really makes people feel uneasy, and everyone has to ask to watch a free movie again.
This year's square film drama was only played from noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve to the end of the Spring Festival, and most departments resumed operation as soon as the hour arrived in Qincheng.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the imperial court decree arrived, and the president of the General Chamber of Commerce was given the surname of the second-class nobleman 'Wan', and the group obtained ten third-class aristocratic surnames, namely, the surname of the master of the craftsman department, the surname of the uncle, the surname of 'Pan', the vice president of the General Chamber of Commerce, the surname of 'Pan', the surname of the chief soldier of the Jinsha Chamber of Commerce, the surname of 'Liang', the chief soldier of the Jinsha Chamber of Commerce, the surname of 'Qian', the surname of the new president of the Jinsha Chamber of Commerce, the surname of 'Fu', the surname of the big shopkeeper of the bacon industry of the Jinsha Chamber of Commerce, the surname of the new member of the board of directors of the small family that made strong bows from the north 20,000 miles away, and the leather family from the west of the new member of the board of directors The surname of Ge'; the surname of the new member of the board of directors is the family of the medicinal herb merchant who came from the east; the surname of the new president of the Fengxian Chamber of Commerce, the surname of the number one straw bag that followed Li Siwen before; and the surname of the dwarf who started by driving oxcarts by the current vice president of the Fengxian Chamber of Commerce.
The entire Qincheng entered a high level of carnival, as if to make up for the excitement that was not good during the Spring Festival. The fireworks workshop jointly opened by thirty-six alchemy boys was emptied in just half a day, and the fireworks shop made 20,000 gold.
In the past, only the things that Qin Zhi had just bought and played with a lot of money were used as a valve to release happiness by the upstarts of the empire, and the fireworks workshop immediately recruited members of the Ying family to work overtime to produce, anyway, it was the ancestors of their family who shouted that they had to do it for nothing.
The whole car of fruit wine and ale wine was bought and pulled away by eleven nobles with surnames, and they set up flowing water seats at the entrance of their own courtyards to entertain passers-by to eat and drink at will and share the glory.
The copper coins accumulated in the warehouse were also carried to the door and thrown at will, and the maids directly rewarded the gold and silver tickets, and they also sent the most luxurious carriage in the family to be loaded with gifts to invite relatives and friends in the neighborhood to come and get rich together.
Qin Zhigang stood on the tower of the inner city and said to Qin Song beside him: "Grandpa, it's not me who has made everyone crazy this time, it's too difficult for the first month to do something, right? ”
Qin Song smiled and said, "Do you remember when our family got the surname? You can't blame them for being crazy for this kind of thing, let them be happy! Fifty thousand troops from the Jinsha garrison will be transferred to make up for their vacancies, and they will be paid double wages." ”
Qin Zhigang said: "In my hometown in my previous life, I was paid three times the salary for overtime during the Spring Festival!"
Qin Song leaned on the railing of the city tower and said: "Okay, just triple the salary, everyone who is willing to work overtime will be given triple the salary, I will lure the people back to do things and see how they make trouble!" The 'they' he said were obviously the eleven new nobles headed by the uncle, although Wan Juan was a second-class nobleman, he himself was not at home, and the uncle had the most money, the most troublesome, and the real power was also the largest in the eleven families. Qin Song didn't dare to force his uncle to work, and his mother's grandmother who got the noble surname Xiaogang was also very happy, and he couldn't do things without consideration, Qin Song could only use this soft cleaning method.
Sure enough, the people were attracted by the high wages to work, and after the eleven upstarts went to work, they were not so happy. Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the people who have been fighting for the surname for generations can't help themselves when they get the noble surname, although the reaction of the uncle is crazy, but it leads them to find the direction of catharsis 'rejoicing with the people'!
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the eleven carnival of the new nobles ended the carnival, Qincheng finally fully resumed production, and the new arrivals last year began to move to the settlement in batches, Qin Zhigang took a few disciples to personally follow the car team carrying more than one million catties of supplies to Qin Zhidao.
Sitting on the top of the twelve-foot-tall front of the car, feeling the shaking of the steam car when it transmitted power, and the shaking of the ground when it went up and down slightly, Qin Zhigang had the illusion of riding a tractor for the first time in his previous life. It was the time of the great riots, and when he was in his forties and was disciplined for making mistakes in the early days of the founding of the country, the county sent a tractor to the commune to pick him up and take him to the big cowshed. For the first time, he sat on a vehicle to move the steering wheel, and although he was serving a prison sentence, he had a sense of superiority, on the one hand, he sincerely repented, and on the other hand, he was wise enough to protect himself. Because of this time he was secretly happy to ride the tractor and changed his decadent habits, and his open-minded attitude made it easy for him to get through the ten years of the great riots. ’
After more than ten days of training, the ape drivers have been able to drive the steam car better, and the speed of the car has increased significantly after driving into the Qin Straight Road from Fengxian County to Guangchuan County, and the night is approaching to the provincial government compound. Li Siran and Li Si, president of the Shengxiang Chamber of Commerce, personally set up a banquet to welcome Qin Zhigang's arrival, and the nine-year-old Qin Zhigang worked tirelessly to travel thousands of miles just to better grasp the car data to make the teacher's heart ache and make Daqin's first internal affairs admire.
After resting for the night, the two capable people of the Li family followed Qin Zhigang to Guangchuan County by car, and after passing Guangchuan County, only Li Si followed Qin Zhigang on the road together. The Qin Straight Road out of Guangchuan is very different from the Fengxian to Guangchuan Qin Straight Road, the uneven roadbed, the potholed ground, and the road surface that is only three zhang wide are not like the Qin Straight Road, and even the ordinary official road is not as good.
Li Si explained all the way: "This is the construction obstacle caused by three years of heavy rain, the lack of accuracy in surveying and mapping, the ground is filled with rocks many times and still sinks because of mud, and both sides of the road dare not dig too much for fear of landslides." ”
After a hard journey to the north, he finally arrived at the temporary office of the General Chamber of Commerce on the tenth day, and the thin Wanjuan was full of energy, and warmly welcomed Qin Zhigang with all the backbones of the office.
Seeing this old man in his fifties aging again, Qin Zhigang felt for a while and really wanted to replace him back to recuperate, the smart Li Si shook his head slightly at Qin Zhigang, Qin Zhigang also knew that Wan Juan was willing to play with his life in order to get ahead. He didn't dare to transfer him back, and he didn't even dare to arrange a too powerful assistant for him, so he could only persuade him to rest more and take more tonic medicine prepared by the decoction and medicine department.
After inspecting the temporary office for two days, Qin Zhigang left the convoy and instructed Wanjuan Haosheng to treat the ape-man, and let Zhuang Zhuang take Li Si and leave with him.
Li Si was sent back to the Provincial Government Compound, Qin Zhigang gave him a medium-sized Cloud City to help the Shengxiang Chamber of Commerce transfer materials in the Sage Country, Li Si, who was in charge of the Chamber of Commerce of the two provinces, was easily at ease, and followed Qin Zhigang to run for half a month, and the Shengxiang Chamber of Commerce was still operating as usual, and his ability was really strong.
After Qin Zhigang returned to the Qinmen grassland, Li Si, who got the city in the clouds, cooperated with Li Siran and began to build the provincial capital.
A few days into February, the insect plague finally broke out along with the drought, and the four tribes of 'sparrows, swallows, magpies, gulls, and birds', which had already been assembled, swept through the mountains and rivers of Daqin with hundreds of millions of ethnic groups.
In the first month, countless stupid birds were left on the way to resist the insect plague, and the number of birds of the four tribes plummeted by 30%.
In the second month, the insect plague was wiped out within 3,000 miles of Qincheng, and the birds of the four tribes died of exhaustion and then decreased by two.
In the third month, because there was no rain, the weather in April began to be very hot, and the Supreme Treasure embarked on the journey of releasing water to fight drought, and the bird tribes on the front line of insect resistance began to appear a large number of essences, and the leaders of the four tribes were ecstatic!
In May, many of the birds that resisted the insect plague died in the heat, and the birds were completely encircled and suppressed for the purpose of killing pests, and more than 70% of the fertile land in Daqin was preserved.
In early June, only 30% of the birds of the four tribes began to return to the kingdom of the saints, and the leaders of the four tribes thanked the local officials for their adequate supplies and led the tribe to stop and stop along the way to continue the purge.
The most severe insect plague is the locust, which is killed by the birds and cannot be digested by the people through the collection and processing of worm dried, and the parasites in these worm darts are cleaned out to become high-protein nutrients. On the way back to the birds, the magistrate used these dried insects to worship the birds, and the people themselves were reluctant to eat more dried insects to let the birds enjoy at will.
In August, only two and a half percent of the birds returned to the kingdom of the saints after surviving the scorching heat, but more than one percent of the birds that came back had already become fine, and the noisy sound of chirping kept in the flock of birds, as if the four tribes were showing off the strength of the group.
The rest of the bird clan was stimulated, and at the urging of their respective leaders, they began to train in extreme training that had no humanity to speak of.
The total number of pigeons has exceeded 30 million, in fact, they and the gull are close relatives, looking at the thief head and thief of the gull clan appeared hundreds of thousands of elites who can spit out people's words, angry and trustworthy to send the pigeon flock out of the saint country to fly, every day can not reach the next designated place on time The pigeon will be abandoned by the tribe, and the abandoned pigeon will be caught by the law enforcement team of the pigeon and sent to the human race for food.
The wild goose population has multiplied rapidly to more than 20 million, and they are forced by their own leader to transport sand and gravel, and must carry a small bag of sand and gravel to the town thousands of miles away in a day, and those who cannot reach it are all given to the Terrans as roast ducks.
The 300,000 adult eagle clan were forced to carry out flight endurance training by Piercing the Clouds, and the edge of the Saint Realm flew three thousand miles a day, and those who could not reach it within 100 days were killed by Piercing the Clouds himself.
Ling Yunzhi, the trump card of the twelve leaders, demanded that the prey hunted by the clan be doubled, and the prey was carried by himself, and he was not allowed to let the human race help again, but fortunately, the number of his clan was only tens of thousands, and he was reluctant to abandon it easily, so he did not fight as fiercely as other bird clans.
The cormorants in the volcanic area are also very ruthless, and they have begun to restrict the food of ordinary people, and this one has made the greedy cormorants jump chickens and dogs.
The ostrich clan has grown from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands now, which is already a hundred times the number, and the galloping wing just allows the adult ostriches to practice running with weights, abandoning a hundred ostriches that finally reach the end every day.
The owl clan can't be in a hurry, the short life span of the clan seriously restricts their development, but they made a lot of money when they helped the Qinmen test pill, and now the owl has ten freaks with double talents. They can choose to transform after passing the fledgling period, but they still insist on being bird spirits without transforming into shapes, and they are repeatedly suppressing the demon power, wanting to directly have the demon yuan power when they transform into shapes.
The Crane Clan is not in a hurry at all, they are the ones who enter and leave the realm of the saints the most, they are the first to establish a good relationship with the Terrans, they are the ones with the heaviest tasks, and they are the first to get special care of the Terrans; One after another large crane tribe into the essence of the essence, the transformation of the shape, the crane tribe is anxious that the number of descendants is always not fast, now there are only more than 30,000 big cranes.
The Bird Clan's desperate training stimulated the other demon clans, and the reaction of the entire demon clan stimulated the cultivators of the human race. The two deputy masters of the Qin Sect have not come back yet, Bai Shengtian is now supporting the Qin Sect, and he suddenly has a heart to include the young talents of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Meng family, and the Qin Sect has suddenly had more than 100,000 disciples, and those who are not qualified to join the Qin Sect can only practice the family exercises while waiting for the Qin Sect to recruit disciples again.
Finally, in September, it rarely rained outside of Qin Zhigang's Sage Realm, and the Supreme Treasure had been busy with 'artificial rainfall'. He opened the opening of the space bag at high altitude in the mode of flying at great speed, and the water stored in the space bag became 'the water of the big river coming from the sky', and the water became a spilled heavy rain after the wind resistance, and sometimes the people could pick up some fish and shrimp in rainy weather. The Supreme Treasure returns to the Sage Kingdom once a month to recharge, Qin Zhigang accompanies him when he comes back to recharge, all kinds of pastries are available for him to eat, and he also replenishes a lot of them as inventory before leaving.
Qin Zhigang once asked the Supreme Treasure: "After eating so many things, what should you do with your poop?"
Supreme Treasure said: "My digestion ability is good, and I don't have a lot of poop, so I have been pulled into the wild." ”
The drought in the whole world is very serious, and even the rivers and lakes have dried up in some places, and the Supreme Treasure will choose some larger rivers and lakes to directly inject water sources, and hundreds of millions of catties of water will be released every day but not exhaustively.
Fortunately, the magistrates of Daqin have a positive performance when they overhaul the water conservancy, and every time the Supreme Treasure flies over, the reservoir will be filled, and the water in the reservoir will be strictly controlled by the government to protect the surrounding areas, and the entire Daqin will easily survive the first drought summer.
The construction of Qin Zhidao did not completely stop in the hot summer, the foremen offered to let the people only do one morning and one night, start work in the morning and stop work at three o'clock in the morning, and the people must enjoy the cool in the pergola from the morning to the afternoon, and then work for another hour in the evening before returning to the residence to eat.
The construction of the railway in the Qinmen grassland has also been accelerated a lot due to drought and rain, and all the roadbeds have been dug up, and various means of transportation are transporting materials here. It is a pity that there are only two locomotives so far, and all the carriages are only fifty cars, and the train has no lighting and can only run boldly during the day.
Qin Zhigang knew that he couldn't be irritable, he chose to hide in Cloud City and practice hard, until now he hadn't refined any true qi, and he was still in the stage of boiling his muscles and bones, and some troubles would not be so annoying if he didn't see them with his own eyes.
The First Emperor was also practicing hard, he had been able to knock down the stele with his true qi out, sometimes the First Emperor would go to Qin Zhigang's Cloud City to get a while, and sometimes he would simply live there. The national army expansion has smashed the foundation of the imperial court for more than 200 years, and the first emperor has asked Qin Zhigang for three more materials, the relationship between the two brothers is not to be said, and one is willing to ask for one is willing to give an IOU, even if he does not have the materials, he will use money to buy them to the first emperor.
It was not only the First Emperor who asked Qin Zhigang for things, but also Bai Qi, who was thousands of miles away, not only asked for things but also money. In order to reduce the burden of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes for the people, Qin Zhigang had no choice but to let the transport team of the Yichen Employment Chamber of Commerce transport materials and gold and silver to Bai Qi. Qin Zhigang has another big expense, two million gold as a start-up capital in the General Chamber of Commerce to set up Yichen long-distance transportation company, the company does not accept the transportation business within a thousand miles of the starting mileage is a thousand miles, and the goods must be more than 10,000 catties, of course, anyone who is willing to give a thousand miles of freight can also help him transport.
Yichen long-distance transportation company hired some quick meters, 100 apes, 500 horse spirits, using Qincheng's latest four-wheeled fast carriage with spring steel plates, thousands of miles of transportation can be reached in only half a day, and the transportation cost is ten times that of ordinary transportation.
The ridiculously high price thought that there was not much business, so as to help Qin Zhigang concentrate on transporting materials, but after the opening, he received a lot of orders, most of which were luxury foods purchased by the five major families, fresh mushrooms as expensive as one or two gold and a catty, colored honey that needed to be ordered to get his hands, high-end snacks from the food department, pottery porcelain produced by the firing department, rubber-soled leather shoes, autumn clothes and pants from the clothing department. Of course, these expensive things can't get 10,000 catties at once, and the people of the family will be equipped with some rare things, such as Qincheng's mid-range pen, ink, paper, inkstone, high-grade powdered refined grains (soybean flour, sweet potato flour, potato flour), sugar, and dairy products.
Qin Zhigang greatly supported his disciple's entrepreneurship, and instructed Yichen to do other people's business first, take his own work slowly, and allocate 20,000 sets of autumn clothes from Cloud City for him to use to make money.
Autumn clothes and pants that can only reach 30,000 sets per month have become a luxury item for the aristocracy, and many nobles wear autumn clothes and pants as a coat, and now the weather in September is getting cooler, and the nobles of Daqin have worn the autumn clothes and pants as a coat on the street. The price of autumn clothes and pants and Qin Zhigang was not expensive, and after passing through the clothing department, the price was raised by thirty percent, and what the people bought was retracted by the merchants at a high price, and finally it was five times higher in the hands of the nobles. Let others earn is also earn, let the disciples earn is also earn, Qin Zhigang is teaching his disciples to 'live' business.
Of course, the ruling hierarchy of the Hou State knew that this kind of behavior was bad, but in order to stimulate economic growth, they chose to acquiesce, except for the things that could not be traded in the market according to the laws of the Great Qin, everything else could be bought in the market, and there was even a black market for trading 'contraband'.
Soap, pagoda sugar, refined salt, medicinal wine, steel needles, some of which are not allowed to be traded by the imperial court, and some are not allowed to be sold out by the Hou State, but these things are very important in life. From these things, it can be seen that there is the shadow of Qinmen behind the black market, and it was even instigated by Qin Song. A small amount of these things can meet the needs of many people, especially the steel needles used to sew clothes, which can easily hurt people's lives if they are quenched, but the people need them very much. The people of Qincheng have given the steel needle as a gift to relatives and friends outside the Hou State, and it is not possible to strictly control the steel needle, Qin Song slowly released these materials while controlling them for the convenience of the people, these materials are prohibited by the imperial court and prohibited by the Hou State, of course, they cannot be born on the black market clearly. In order to accelerate the development of society, the rulers of Qincheng played a sideline game themselves, and the original intention was only to let the people outside also use some good goods, and even they were a little surprised by the golden tickets that arrived in the end.
At the end of September, the grain harvest in the entire Daqin was abundant, and even Bai Qi, who had just arrived in the northern grasslands, planted grains there and received rich returns. The new 6 million old and young women and children in the kingdom of the saints tripled their arable land along the railway station, and it was only at this time that the new people fully believed in the legend that the land of the Marquis of Qin Song had been cultivated for more than ten years. The yield is more than three times higher than that of other regions, and the number of ripening times is four to five times a year, but the people who live in the territory of the Hou Ye are also particularly able to eat, and the annual ration is ten times more than that of the outside, and various calculation methods conclude that the weight of the grain collected by the Hou domestic farming land is really more than ten times higher than that outside, but these grains are all companies, and they can only get wages and very high wages in addition to rations.
