Chapter 188: No Medicine
As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind. When Great Qin was calculating the alien races of the grassland, the remnants of the six kingdoms were also calculating Great Qin. Although the people of the world now live and work in peace and contentment, the remnants of the six kingdoms are still restless. They don't want to return to the country all the time, the life and death of Lang Lang's beings are not worth mentioning in their eyes, and the people of the world are just chess pieces in the game.
In the past two years, the First Emperor has changed the Qin Law and abolished the harsh Qin Law, so that the people are not afraid of being implicated for no reason. Under the new law of Great Qin, except for the great crime of rebellion, there are no more Lianzai and Yi tribes, and the people do not have to worry about being innocently implicated by their neighbors and relatives.
The popularization of new agricultural tools and grain seeds also allowed the people to eat a full meal for the first time. Even the people of Daqin have changed from two meals a day to three meals a day, and the warm body that is well fed and clothed has naturally become stronger, and the mortality rate of the people has also been greatly reduced.
Reform the official system and rectify the official style, so that officials know that the law cannot be violated lightly, so that the people have a door to complain and a way to redress grievances. The right is put in a cage, and it is not as wanton as it once was to press the people.
The bidding system contracts the project to the commercial bank, and the merchant hires the people to work, so that the people can also make money in the work of farming.
Although the life of the people of Great Qin is getting better and better, there are always some restless people. For example, Zhang Liang.
Lower phase, Maling Mountain
As Li Chen's secret son in the Xiang clan, Xiang Bo has been a little worried recently, and he can even be said to be worried.
Although he had successfully entered the interior of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu seemed to feel guilty for giving up on him that day, and he had never doubted him. It's just that Zhang Liang seems to have always been a little vigilant against him, but now Xiang Yu is obedient to Zhang Liangyan, so Xiang Bo has never been able to enter the core of Xiang Yu's group.
These days, Zhang Liang seems to have been planning something. Although the current Malingshan is still nominally the base of the Xiang clan, in fact, not many people have come. All the people have been put down by Zhang Liang to perform some task.
In Xiang Bo's opinion, Xiang Yu and these people will be defeated sooner or later, and Daqin is an unstoppable behemoth for them. Whether it is Zhang Liang or Xiang Yu, they are all grasshoppers after the autumn and can't grow. He Xiang Bo didn't want to be buried with them, and even wanted to make a great contribution, so he was eager to find out Zhang Liang's plan.
"Xiang Zhuang, are you going down the mountain too?"
"The military advisor asked me to go down the mountain to buy food, so let's go down the mountain together." Xiang Bo happened to "meet" Xiang Zhuang on the way down the mountain.
Zhang Liang's plan was extremely meticulous, and all the Xiang disciples had their own tasks. In order to prevent leaks, Zhang Liang can only know everyone's tasks. Xiang Bo was not trusted by Zhang Liang, and under Zhang Liang's arrangement, he did the work of buying grain day after day.
This chance encounter with Xiang Zhuang was the result of Xiang Bo's plan for many days, and Xiang Zhuang was deeply trusted by Zhang Liang and did all the important links in the plan. And Xiang Zhuang is also the person who knows the most about the plan except for Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, so it is naturally the best choice to find out the news from his mouth.
"Xiang Zhuang, do you know, we are buying grain on a large scale, those rich merchants are vampires, and they have raised the price of grain by three percent. If you want me to say that the military division is really crazy, we can plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the terraced fields we have cultivated ourselves, which is enough for daily rations. This large amount of money is used to buy food, do you think the military advisor is crazy? Xiang Bo complained seemingly unintentionally.
"You know what, now they sell it to us by 30%, and we will sell it to them tomorrow." Xiang Zhuang said meaningfully.
"You kid said that every household in this house is full of grain, and there is still a month to go before the autumn harvest, who will go over and buy the grain from our tun." Xiang Bo asked.
"......" Xiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Zhang Liang's entrustment. Zhang Liang once told him that the plan must be kept secret, especially not to Xiang Bo. He Xiang Zhuang grew up with Xiang Bo, so he naturally didn't believe that Xiang Bo would rebel. But thinking of Zhang Liang's strategy every time, Xiang Zhuang would still subconsciously obey Zhang Liang's arrangement.
"You don't care so much, in short, it must be right to listen to the military advisor." Xiang Zhuang responded.
"Listen to the military advisor, listen to the military advisor for everything, and those who don't know think our surname is Zhang." Xiang Bo muttered dissatisfied.
After descending the mountain, the two separated. Xiang Bo still went to the city to buy grain, while Xiang Zhuang did not know where to go.
"You know, there are fools buying food these days? Coarse grains and fine grains, and it is said that even the chaff that donkeys eat. ”
"What about the price?"
"The price, the price can be three percent higher than the market price."
At first, Xiang Bo only bought grain from the grain store, but now the people in the entire Xiaxiang City seem to have gone crazy and began to sell their grain stocks. You must know that since the popularization of new crops, the production of grain has become higher and higher, and the price of food has become lower and lower. Now, there are stunned young people who buy grain at a price 30% higher than the market price, which is naturally a good business. Moreover, the harvest is imminent, and the family only needs to leave one or two months of rations, and the new grain will come down in the autumn.
As soon as the door of the grain collection point opened, the people immediately flocked in, scrambling to push and shove, scrambling to sell their grain, and this grain collection point naturally did not refuse. As long as you sell grain, I will dare to collect it.
Xiang Bo looked at the people scrambling to sell grain in front of him, and a feeling of unease surged in his heart. Although he had never heard any effective news, after thinking about it, he still wrote a letter about the recent affairs of the Xiang clan and secretly sent it to the contact point in the secret.
Lower Phase, Qinghe Village
Qinghe Village is a large village with more than 1,000 households and more than 5,000 people in the village, and eighty percent of the people in the entire village are surnamed Xiang.
"Did you put the medicine?"
It was night, and there was a conversation in the woods in the distance.
"When it was time to irrigate, they poured medicine into the wells they used to irrigate the fields."
"Brother Zhuang, does this medicine work?"
"I see that the grain in that field is green and strong."
"You know, the greener and stronger the millet is, the less it grows when it comes."
"Brother Zhuang, but if there is no fruit growing in the ground, I am afraid that the people will starve to death a lot. In this Qinghe Village, there are many people who have relatives for our Xiang family. ”
"Smack."
"What's the matter, why don't you starve to death, you have to come. As I said, let's talk about all the surplus food now, only they will follow us against Qin, and we will give them food when the time comes. Xiang Zhuang said in a low voice.
Zhang Liang's plan is centered on the following phases, involving multiple counties. Countless children of the Xiang family rushed to the county seat around Xia Xiang with the farmer's unharvested medicine. Xiang's control over the lower phase is very strong, and after this operation, he is afraid that 90% of the fields of the lower phase will not be harvested. Although the rest of the places are so serious, they will inevitably be implicated.
