Chapter 152: Lively Xianyang
"Chen Lidian, please draw a charge on the paperwork, and I will take Zhao Zhe away!" Fan Kun handed a roll of bamboo slips to Chen Xu.
Chen Xu picked up the brush and put it on it overnight, signed his name and handed it back.
"Escort away~" Fan Kun turned over and got on his horse, shouted, and several burly soldiers tied Zhao Zhe and dragged him to a carriage, and then held a halberd to guard the front and back, left and right, and drove the horse away together.
And Zhao Zhe, who was sitting in the carriage, had a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth, and his face was pale, but a pair of eyes were staring at Chen Xu, his cheeks were hideously twisted, and he struggled desperately to pounce down and bite Chen Xu to death.
The paralyzed, they have all become eunuchs, and they are so angry!
Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times and turned around, and finally sent this hot bastard away, making him feel a stone in his heart.
More than ten days have passed since the bandits went up the mountain, and all the taxes and grains in the town have been handed over, and under Chen Xu's memory, more than 100 villagers were organized to carry threshers to the mountain bandits' lair to collect back the hundreds of acres of grain planted there, adding nearly 500 stones of grain to the granary in the town, and these grains do not need to pay taxes, they have become the reserve grain of Qinghe Town, and they can be rescued when the cold winter wax moon comes.
After treatment, Zhao Zhe's injuries have basically healed, and he has been able to walk slowly on his legs, but his spirit is even more crazy, like a mad dog that wants to bite people from time to time, so everyone does not dare to approach him, so slowly no one cares about him, his body is dirty and smelly, and his clothes are in tatters all day long like a beggar being locked in his room and howling, and he feels a lot more relaxed after getting rid of it.
After repeated negotiations over the past few days, Jiangbei Pavilion and Nanyang County Commander Ma Boyuan and County Lieutenant Gao Yan seem to have reached an agreement, and they want to complete this anti-bandit incident.
Liang Zizhou, the chief secretary of the county Cheng Mansion, connived at his son and the mountain bandits to rob the tax grain of Qinghe Town, and has been arrested by the county governor's office, and his son Liang Wen killed and injured the jailer in the Pheasant County Prison and tried to escape from prison and was directly shot to death by random arrows, and Liang Zizhou's entire family was arrested and imprisoned.
And Zhao Zhe, the iron official of the Inner History Mansion who was bewitched by Liang Wen and did not know the inside story, was injured by the bandits in the extermination of the mountain bandits, and after recuperating from his injuries, he would be sent back to Xianyang as soon as possible to recuperate, and the entire Nanyang County was implicated as many as dozens of officials and wealthy businessmen, and many rich businessmen were directly confiscated from their homes and their heads fell to the ground.
Some people are not gone, and some people eat a lot of money.
Dozens of captured mountain bandits were all beheaded, together with the mountain bandits who had been killed before, a total of 116 heads were counted by the county governor's office and recorded in the merit book, and the county lieutenant Fang Kuan and more than 30 soldiers who were responsible for suppressing the bandits were all rewarded, and they were more or less exchanged for different rewards.
As for the families of the mountain bandits, they are all enslaved by tattooing and ink, the young and infirm sell the Nanyang workshop to work, the healthy women are all exiled to the north three thousand miles away, and the other old and sick are also dealt with, and a nest of mountain bandits who have gathered in the Funiu Mountain for countless years have completely eliminated the invisible.
Although everything seems to be handled peacefully, in fact, only the people who are in it have been worried.
Zhao Zhe returned to Xianyang, I don't know how Zhao Gao will behave in the CRRC Mansion?
In order to make Chen Xu feel at ease, Jiangbei Pavilion also asked the soldiers to send him a message, saying that Zhao Zhe's matter had been dealt with properly, so that he should not worry and think nonsense, be a pawn in Qinghe Town, appease the villagers to take care of the crops, and start harvesting the autumn grain in a few months, and also re-recruit the people to take turns to build the Chi Road, and not be careless, and finally did not forget to tell Chen Xu to go to the county seat to play with his daughter when he is free.
Heheda, Chen Xu directly put the last sentence like a fart, and then also put Zhao Zhe's matter behind, and began to settle down to study all kinds of things, well, it is mainly for food, and if you have nothing to do, you will go home to accompany Chen Jiang and Xing'er, and the life is full and peaceful.
The capital city of Xianyang has been very lively recently.
The court and the people were a little boiling because of the appearance of one thing.
Xianyang is closer to the northwest than Nanyang, and the summer grain matures more than ten days later, so when the summer grain harvest in Nanyang is almost over, the summer grain near Xianyang has begun to be harvested.
And this year's summer grain harvest is different from previous years, the internal history of the government issued a new type of agricultural tools, called threshing machine, and sent craftsmen to the villages and towns around Xianyang to guide the build, after the manufacture, the farmers who have used it all said good, so this threshing machine soon became popular, because the source of materials is easy, the structure is not complicated, so the demand is very large, almost every household wants, the population of the family even needs three or five to be enough, for a while, people suddenly found that the carpenters who are not usually too concerned are not enough, and with the increase in demand, the status of carpenters has also risen and began to pull up, no processing money has no time to build, but even if you pay more, you still need to queue up, I heard that the orders for good carpenters are lined up until winter.
People can wait, but the crops in the field can not wait, now the wheat has been fully ripe, a day late harvest is a loss, so many people are anxious to ask around where to buy a threshing machine, because people have seen it used, it is convenient and easy to use, a family of three can harvest several acres of land in a day, it is completely a sharp weapon to grab time to harvest summer wheat.
And where there is demand, there will be supply, which is the necessity of commerce, just as there is no killing without buying and selling.
Although the level of agriculture in the Qin Dynasty was low, and most of the peasants were not well fed and clothed, but Xianyang as the capital, the field tax here was originally lower than that of other counties, and it lived under the nose of His Majesty the First Emperor. Both farmers, merchants, and craftsmen are much richer than other counties, and many farmers have entered a well-off life thousands of years in advance.
Seeing that the threshing machine is profitable, so some businessmen with flexible eyes began to use their brains, some people began to set up workshops, recruiting carpentry apprentices and worker slaves to make a large number of threshers and sell them to farmers who are not in the ranks, a thresher is priced at a stone of grain, forty yuan, and the price of two fine linen cloth, which is not expensive, many farmers around Xianyang are consuming, so there is an endless stream of ox carts and carriages queuing up to buy threshers at the door of the workshop every day, and the merchants of the workshop soon began to make a lot of money, and soon some people began to follow suit, In just over ten days, the workshop soon opened to the subordinate towns of Xianyang, and even began to expand to the surrounding county capitals.
