Chapter 354 Five-Year Plan

When he heard the name of "Heifu", Xiang Zhuang stopped eating candy and pricked up his ears.

In the Battle of Jinan two years ago, the Chu people either said that Xiang Yan was killed in battle, or that he fled in hiding, but the Xiang family knew very well: Xiang Yan committed suicide after the defeat, and let the clansman Xiang Sheng escape from the battlefield with his head and bring back the prime minister......

Although Xiang Yan's head was secretly buried by the Xiang family, his body was left on the battlefield, humiliated by the Qin people, and killed into countless pieces. And the capture of the flag, which is comparable to the killing of a general, was obtained by a nobody named Heifu.

I never thought that he would make a fortune through this, and now he has achieved the high position of the right chief!

Strictly speaking, this person is also one of Xiang's enemies, and when he learned that this sugar was actually made by the thief, Xiang Zhuang suddenly felt that it smelled incredible, as if he had eaten something dirty, and secretly spit it out.

However, Xiang Liang's complexion only changed slightly, and he immediately returned to normal, talking and laughing with Mrs. Kui.

After the battle of Jinan, after burying his father's head, he said to the clansmen who were shouting at home to fight to the death with the Qin people: "Gou Jian is trapped in Huiji, if he fights for a moment of courage and knows that 5,000 people are fighting with Wu, I am afraid that Yue Guo will die at that time." Now that Qin Zhengqiang is and Chu is about to die, the general trend has gone, and it cannot be forced, so we should follow Fan Li's strategy, and gather ten years of lessons for ten years, so as to wait for him to avenge himself! ”

When the family was forced to move to Guanzhong, he also comforted the brothers like this: "Tang is Xiatai, King Wen is imprisoned, Jin Chong'er Ben Zhai, Qi Xiaobai Ben Ju, Gou Jian entered Gusu, and his pawn is the king." From the point of view, why is it not a blessing? ”

Their Xiang clan is not the king of Chu Huai!

Xiang Liang, who has decided to lie down and try his courage, even if the real enemies Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian stand in front of him, he can pretend to be obedient, how can he be angry because of the black man?

Mrs. Kui also wanted to test Xiang's dissent, so she deliberately mentioned the black man who grabbed Xiang Yan's flag, and when she saw Xiang Liang's face, she was relieved to see that he was doing as usual.

Since she received Xiang Liang's gold, she also talked about the things that Xiang was most concerned about.

"I have asked someone to inquire clearly, the withering order of the Imperial History Mansion has come out, and Cao Yao, the jailer of Yunyang County, will be transferred to Xiaxiang County, Surabaya County, as a prison officer."

Prison Peng is in charge of litigation and prison, and he is the county magistrate who is second only to the chief official Peng, if he is an iron-faced and ruthless person, the life of the clansmen who stay in the lower prime minister will not be easy.

Mrs. Kui said: "Cao Ji is a person who is easy to talk to, he also has a background in the court, and the newly promoted imperial historian Cheng Miao received his favor when he was in Yunyang Prison, and he has made friends with him, and he may be able to come in handy in the future." ”

Xiang Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of officials who went to Shandong to take up their posts this year. ”

Mrs. Kui took a sip of hot soup: "The DPRK and the central government frequently send new officials to various counties and counties in Shandong, which is nothing more than to fulfill Your Majesty's national policy. ”

This is another big move of the imperial court after last year's collection of the world's soldiers and the defense of the pass of the Suihe River.

The Qin officials dressed in black, when they sent a letter to Guguan, they all pulled standard weights and measures instruments on the car. As soon as he took office, he immediately began to implement the work of the same track, the same book, the same currency, the same shape, the same degree, the same weight, the same line, and one law, abolishing the old system of the six countries, and everything was on par with Xianyang.

These measures dealt a big blow to the Xiang clan and other local tycoons, unlike the loose laws of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin laws were strict, and the Xiang clan had to be restrained a lot, and the private soldiers could not be raised, and the number of land, subordinates, and vassals would also be limited.

The coinage is an important source of wealth for the Xiang family, once the money is the same coin, the coin is the same shape, and private minting is not allowed, and a large amount of income is lost every year. The same degree and the same balance also mean that they can no longer use their private utensils to play the favor trick of "lending the big kettle and taking it back from the small kettle".

They are proud aristocrats, each family has a history of hundreds of years, and there are classic heirlooms in the collection, once the book is the same as the Qin seal, the Six Kingdoms script can only be secretly taught to their children.

These systems will bring a lot of inconvenience to the Xiang family and the nobles of Shandong, and Xiang Liang can only sigh that it would be good if Qin founded the country in Yan, Qi, and Chu.

He heard that all the sons of Qin Shi Huang were young, and that the young princes and kings would definitely rely on local forces to rule because of their customs. Unlike the Qin officials appointed by Xianyang, they were only responsible to the emperor, shouting and killing at the local governors, overwhelming them, and regarded the Qin law as an iron law, forcibly correcting the customs and habits of the people of the six countries......

But this is all something that dares to be angry and dare not speak, so you can only accept it head-on. In the past two years, Xiang Liang has learned to read Qin seal characters, and he knows that under absolute power, if the Qing clan does not make changes, there is only one way to perish!

Mrs. Kui comforted him and said: "These national policies are jointly supervised by the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial History Mansion, and the Shaofu Mansion, but the implementation period is different, the law has been implemented in the county, and the weights and measures and gauge will all be replaced within this year (the twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang), and the same text can be slightly delayed." ”

She said this interesting story: "After Heifu made bark paper last month, His Majesty was overjoyed, and built a paper workshop in Guanzhongguang, and sent the paper to Shandong. But the silk book is not allowed to be used again, and the offender will be fined a silk horse! ”

Xiang Liang can imagine that the Chu people will complain more than once, because the Chu nobles love to use silk to write and paint, or as decoration, or bring it into the tomb, which has become a tradition, and his family has a lot of silk books written by "Zongheng Family Book", "Lao Tzu" and "Tang Yu's Dao", which were suddenly abolished, I am afraid that the Chu people will not be happy.

Fortunately, in this matter, considering that the scholars of the Six Kingdoms could not learn Qin characters overnight, Heifu made a suggestion to the emperor.

"The six languages have been alienated for a long time, and they are suddenly abolished, which may be inconvenient. It is better to use a period of five years to make the six languages and silk books gradually disappear! Replace it with Qin seal book and paper! ”

He also said: "Qin has its own system, the county and county make up the book, send officials to report to the level by level, submit it to the imperial court, and borrow funds to evaluate the performance, which is called the upper plan." And His Majesty is far-sighted, Xing hemp paper, books and texts, and draws long-term benefits for the world. The five-year policy of sand and sand may be called a five-year plan! ”

Unfortunately, Qin Shi Huang was in a hurry, thinking that five years was too long, so he changed it to three years, so he introduced a "three-year plan", which would make three million pieces of paper within three years, completely replace silk books, and gradually eliminate bamboo slips!

It can be said that the emperor changed the national policy slightly, which is a great achievement, and the right chief Heifu seems to have become the emperor's more trusted upstart recently, and people who care about the court situation have compared Li Xin, who was the most favored in the year, with him......

Speaking of which, Mrs. Kui had already told Xiang Liang all the news that a pound of gold could be bought.

Before Xiang Liang pulled Xiang Zhuang to leave, Mrs. Kui seemed to remember something again, and said to Xiang Liang as if showing off:

"But I forgot about it, the right concubine Heifu, Layue is about to get married, so he made these invitations to invite guests, and his uncle Weng (Kui) was also invited, but he was old, so he asked me to go to ...... with my uncle and sister-in-law."

She was happy to hold the stinky feet of this upstart, but she was reluctant to spend more money, and a pair of phoenix eyes kept hinting at Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang understood, and said with interest: "People in the world often think that the right chief once took the banner of his deceased father, and the Xiang family hates it, but in fact, how dare we have a grudge when we are the head of Jing Chu and Qian, and the country is gone?" Now the right will be married, Liang's status is humble, dare not set foot in the feast, and hope that Mrs. can congratulate him on behalf of Xiang's family, in order to show respect, the gift will be prepared tomorrow and sent to Mrs. Mansion! ”

……

In the twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang, on the first day of the first lunar month (the first day of October), Chen Ping, who worked as a temporary worker in the township temple and was a small official in the township temple, also received a colorful paper invitation from Xianyang from the postman in the envious eyes of his colleagues......
