Chapter 44: The King Grows Old Early

"When I left home and went back, my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where do the guests come from?" Emperor Qin stood on a high hill and said silently. This is different from the verses of the Book of Songs, Chu Ci. Deeply touched the heart of Emperor Qin.

Whenever the army went on an expedition, every time Qin Feng Wuyi moved himself. sighed at the strength of the Great Qin soldiers.

"Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!"

"How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!"

"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”

Until yesterday, I listened to what Ying Zicheng said. I suddenly felt that my selfishness had caused deep harm to the soldiers of Great Qin. Before dawn today, Emperor Qin Yingzheng set off early to inspect the villages near Xianyang. Although in terms of my own common sense, what my child said is incompatible, but I hope it is true. Qin Di can really expand so much arable land. The soldiers who have been away for more than ten years can go home, even if they just come back to see, and they still need to continue to go to the battlefield after they come back, "Don't show up, children don't know each other, and laugh at the tragedy of where the guest came from." ”

..................

In autumn, Qindi is a withered yellow, barely escaped the withered vegetation, and a few dead leaves are still nostalgic among the bare branches, on the contrary, the fields are ploughed on hot days. Hundreds of adult men were in the fields, ploughing the fields. "Zhao Gao, this autumn harvest has passed, why are these Qin people still plowing the fields. Emperor Qin wondered.

Zhao Gao: "............" was silent, I am not a farmer, how do I know. But the reaction was very fast: "Slave, let's find the pavilion chief nearby." ”

"Well, go ahead. Find someone to see if my rebel is awake, let him come and accompany him. Emperor Qin then waved his hand again, "Well, forget it, let him sleep, let him come over in the afternoon, find the pavilion chief." "Knowing my son's habit of sleeping lazy, I couldn't get up until ten o'clock, and I suddenly thought of it. I have to eat an inexplicable Chinese food when I get up, and it's not the afternoon. Emperor Qin rarely showed the demeanor of a loving father.

Soon after, an old man came to Emperor Qin. "Greetings, my lord. ”

Emperor Qin Yingzheng nodded, "Flat, the pavilion chief knows, why is this late autumn, why are the Qin people below still in full swing, why is this?"

"Back to ...... Return...... Your Majesty, this is a ...... Fertilizer, the farmer uses a plough to turn the wheat stalks into the soil. The pavilion chief trembled, he was too excited, although he was born in a village near Xianyang, even if he saw it, he only saw it from a distance, and today he was able to meet this greatest king who ruled the world and Great Qin at such a close distance, even if he was already in his prime, he was still in a frenzy. What's more, Emperor Qin entered the realm of sages and sages, and let his grandson also enter the Tao. There is fanaticism and gratitude.

"Isn't this the one who gave the order to double the labor of these Qin people?" Emperor Qin said angrily, the most tiring thing to farm is the ploughing land, and now that the autumn harvest is over, who ordered the farmers to plow the fields again, so at the expense of agricultural officials, it is necessary to stop.

"Wang, there is no one, no one, these are the requirements of Qin Min who signed the futures contract of Huaxia Building. Hearing this, Emperor Qin seemed to be angry Isn't it the biggest official in this vicinity, Emperor Qin thought it was his own order, and the pavilion chief hurriedly explained in fright.

Huaxia Building, isn't that the property of his ninth son. "But is there a mandatory requirement?" asked Emperor Qin sternly.

"No, no, but the farmers who do not plough the land, when Huaxia Lou buys its products, the price will be lower than that of the farmers who plough the land. Therefore, after the autumn harvest is over, at the end of autumn, these Qin people will turn over the ground. This village only joined the contract this year, and I heard rumors from villages that joined the contract a few years ago that this could increase the yield per mu, and the most heard was to double the yield from 3 koku per mu to 6 koku per mu, but some people said that the yield did not increase. It is not known how these villages used to be tightly managed, and outsiders were not allowed to inquire, but they lived very wealthy, and they envied us and other nearby villages. This year, many villages joined the contract, and they relaxed their regulations. ”

"Xiaochen's family only joined this year, but Xiaochen thinks it's okay to give it a try, isn't it just a handful of strength, what we have is, if we can really increase production, it is also a blessing for our small people. If you can't, you won't do it next year. ”

Qin Huang nodded. "Zhao Gao took my token and went to the village where he signed a contract with my Nine Emperor Princes a few years ago to investigate and confirm the authenticity of this matter. "In a few days, I will send someone to pass on the exact news to the pavilion chief. ”

"Thank you, my lord. The pavilion chief cried with joy, he had long wanted to investigate the authenticity, why those villages that had signed a contract a few years ago were so rich, and the rich made him feel unreal as the pavilion chief, chickens, ducks and geese flocked, pigs and pigs, everyone had a ruddy complexion, every family had new clothes to wear, shoes to wear, not straw sandals, but cloth shoes, once I saw them pour the unfinished meal directly to the pig to eat. But I was stunned, and I felt that each of them was better off than their own pavilion chief. I have been looking for the secrets in it, but they have been too strict in secrecy, and the village is still powerful, and ordinary people can't get close.

But the pavilion chief has a lot of experience, resentment but also understands, if you change them to yourself, you will not tell others with their feelings, and human nature is also. Now that the king is personally investigating, how dare they not cooperate. The secret I've always wanted to know is finally coming to light, and I'm really crying with joy.

"Why don't you see, old woman, how do you work all adult men? Emperor Qin found the problem and said.

"Return, my lord, the old woman and the old man have all been recruited into the women's textile factory and garment factory in Huaxia Building, leaving only some of the people who are responsible for making food for this ridge, Huaxia Building, and contribute a salary of one horse of linen cloth per person per month. The women and little girls in the village have joined the women's factory after the autumn harvest, and they also include room and board, and the heating can be warmed up like summer, my old man went home and told me, but unfortunately he does not recruit male workers, and he can take four days off in the middle of the month, and he can also go home, and there are women in the family who have gone, and I heard that they can work until spring ploughing. The gold and silver earned were worth a year's labor. ”

Qin Huang nodded dumbly, not understanding this operation. "Why can't we see children here, and why is there such a low birth rate in the village? ”

Huaxialou picks up children every week to go to various factories to learn, learn knowledge and technology, there are some Confucianism and ink learning, there is arithmetic learning, more is the learning of some craftsmen, including board and lodging, eating better than their parents, teaching them are masters. It is only after the age of fifteen that they have to work in the factory, but the income is very high, and they can get the income of their parents for three years of labor.

Because the food in Huaxia Building is very good, including board and lodging, the children who can run and move are sent to Huaxia Building. The women's factory also has a kindergarten to take care of young children between the ages of 4 and 7. In the older ones, you have to learn knowledge, and you can only enter the factory at the age of 15 to be apprenticed to the master. Nowadays, there are no children under the age of one in the village, and I heard that the kindergarten can also accept them, as long as the child's mother is in the factory. ”

Qin Huang: "............"

Emperor Qin was very dissatisfied with the current result, a bunch of singles were at home alone, so he couldn't hold back his illness, and asked: "Isn't it the whole winter, and there are only men left in the village?"

"The king came early, and when this batch of land is turned over, these men will also go to steel, coal, iron mines, tile factories, etc. In winter, the entire village is almost deserted. The pavilion chief said sincerely.

Qin Huang: "............"
