Chapter 44 (2) The Second Update
Ren Huan is very busy.
Since leaving Taishan Palace and returning to Surabaya County, he has never been able to stop. first went to Xiangxian, and then hurried back to Peixian. Although it was said that Xiao He was helping him, after walking for a few days, Ren Huan came back and saw a mountain of official documents.
Before the official document was processed, another order came to transfer the young and strong prisoners.
Then another batch of prisoners was accepted......
It's not too big to say, but it's enough to make people haunted. Fortunately, there is such a person as Xiao He.
The Emperor seems to have made up his mind!
Summoning Tu Sui, I'm afraid there are considerations in this regard.
So, who will be the commander of the Baiyue army? General Wang Ben had just finished fighting the Qi State and needed to stay in the local area to deter Xiaoxiao.
Meng Tian is now the emperor's internal plot, and I am afraid that he will not let it out easily.
After all, after the reunification of these six countries, there are many things that need to be dealt with. The emperor also needs to leave someone he can trust to advise him.
And this role, except for the Shemengtian brothers, no one can take on it.
Ren Huan wore a loose robe, sat in the lobby, and counted with his fingers crossed. Although it is said that who is the boss has nothing to do with Ren Huan, it must also be clarified. In the future, Surabaya County will serve as the basis for the conquest of the Baiyue army, and to some extent, Surabaya County will become a vassal of this army. What kind of person is the manager, what kind of personality, what are his preferences...... It's clear, and it's easy to cooperate.
After two years of training in the local area, Ren Huan is no longer the stunned young man who just came out of the Iron Eagle Ruishi.
There are some things that you have to plan for in advance......
He sat in the hall and pondered and planned, when the servant ran in and reported: "My lord, Liu Kan is the one who made him, and now he is asking to see the lord outside the hall." β
"Oh, let him in."
Ren Huan retracted his thoughts and sat upright.
After a while, Liu Kan, led by the servants, walked to the hall.
intervened and saluted Ren Huan, "Liu Kan, a grass man, has seen the county magistrate." β
Ren Huan waved his hand, "Don't be polite, sit down." β
The treatment after the promotion is really different. When Liu Kan was still a grass citizen, he could only stand respectfully when he saw Ren Huan.
But now, he is qualified to sit.
"Your Majesty, this time not only restored your lordship, but also promoted you to the heavens. You should keep this kindness in mind. β
"Liu Kan will never dare to forget."
Ren Huan nodded, a smile on his face. Clapped his hands, and saw a servant holding a black Jinxian crown and walking up to the lobby.
"After winning this crown, you are truly created. However, although you are a superior creation, there are some conscriptions that cannot be escaped. In addition, His Majesty has issued an edict that you will be responsible for the wine used for royal sacrifices in the future. This time, Mount Tai sealed the Zen, and His Majesty praised the long live wine you offered. And personally sealed the long live wine as a tribute wine...... Liu Kan, you have to do things well, don't live up to Your Majesty's love. β
"Xiaomin understands."
As he spoke, Ren Huan ordered someone to fetch two pieces of wooden tablets, all of which were painted with black lacquer and had small seals of gold dust on them.
On top of the wooden tablet, a silver ribbon is entwined. The tray containing the wooden slips was placed in front of Liu Kan, and Ren Huan looked at Liu Kan quietly.
"This is a seal for His Majesty, with which you can buy the materials needed for brewing in Surabaya County, Xue County, Langya County, Donghai County and Dangjun County. From the county level down, as long as you make a list, county officials must cooperate with your actions. β
Liu Kan was overjoyed.
It was beyond his expectations to get a knighthood.
Unexpectedly, the First Emperor actually gave such a big gift. The use of this black lacquer ribbon is more affordable than that reward.
The Great Qin Dynasty centralized power, and the government decree came from the first emperor's reign.
Ying Zheng is very strict with the management of materials. All localities must have a unified allocation of materials from the state, and grain, in particular, is the most important thing. Liu Kan got such a Shang Fang sword, which is equivalent to obtaining the right to hoard grain and grass, which is a great force.
"Xiaomin will never disappoint His Majesty's high expectations...... However, there are many things that the people don't understand, so I have to ask the adults for more advice in the future. β
No matter how happy he was in his heart, Liu Kan still maintained a respectful attitude.
Ren Huan nodded with satisfaction.
To be honest, he did not approve of the seal that the First Emperor had hoarded for Liu Kan. The Battle of Baiyue is about to begin, and if Liu Kan hoards grain and grass on a large scale, it will have a big impact on the supply of materials for the Baiyue army. However, now that the emperor has made a decision, it is difficult to change it. I just subconsciously felt that I must keep an eye on Liu Kan, because of his mistake.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Ren Huan saw that Liu Kan had no intention of saying goodbye, and asked strangely.
Liu Kan said: "My lord, Xiaomin came to visit this time, and there is another question I want to ask. β
"Say!"
"Xiaomin heard that Shangzao can be matched with two slaves. But what are the requirements of this slave, what procedures do you need to go through, and where can you get it? β
Ren Huan rubbed his cheeks, "This matter...... According to my Great Qin law, subordinate slaves can be purchased from the local government. Generally speaking, prisoners of war and convicts can be slaves. You only need to pay a certain amount of money and then register on the local household register, and it is done. β
"So, thank you, sir!"
Liu Kan stood up and said goodbye to Ren Huan.
Ren Huan didn't send off guests, just nodded, waved his hand, and watched Liu Kan walk out of the lobby.
I was a little apprehensive in my heart.
This kid is less than sixteen this year, and he has already done it? Well, you need to be taken care of, but don't make any trouble.
However, his achievements today are also inseparable from himself!
Ren Huan suddenly laughed and patted his head: when I was in the Iron Eagle Ruishi before, I didn't have so many ideas. Why is it that now that he is the head of a county, he has become so suspicious? That's not going to work, let's find a chance to return to the Iron Eagle Warriors.
******
Ren Huan was thinking wildly at home, and Liu Kan went straight to the inn where he was trying to eat his home.
By this time, the rain had stopped.
The weather was sunny and sunny. The fresh air after the rain carries a scent of earthy scent like an orchid and musk, which is refreshing.
He no longer lives in the city, but has moved to a residence next to Liu Kan's house.
However, during the day, he would still visit the former residence in the city. It has now become a shop for selling Surabaya flower carvings. Since the mysterious veil shrouded in the head of the Surabaya flower carving has been revealed, Pei County has become lively.
Pengcheng, Chenxian, Xuejun......
Merchants from all over the country flocked to Pei County, which was not lively at all, suddenly became noisy.
No, just after the hour, the street in front of the shop was full of traffic, and many merchants gathered around the door of the shop, waiting to trade. The room where Liu Kan's mother and son lived back then has now become a warehouse. A jar of wine is stacked, so it is not tempting.
He was standing in the courtyard, and the commander's helpers were busy.
In his eyes, the room was not filled with wine, but with a room full of gold.
According to the Qin law, there are two types of currency: upper currency and lower currency. The round Qin coin is the lower coin, also known as half a tael; The gold is the upper currency, with Eridium (pronounced yi) as the unit, one Eridium twenty-four taels of gold. Don't look at the small faΓ§ade of the trial, it is not big, but it can be called a daily gold.
"Ah Kan!"
Seeing Liu Kan coming, he greeted him with a smile, "This is the last batch of cellar wine this year, but the guests outside are ...... Look, shouldn't the other cellar be opened? If this continues, our inventory really won't last long. β
Liu Kan shook his head, "Don't worry...... When the cellar comes out next year, a jar will be directly priced at 5,000 yuan. Let's endure it for a year now, and we can harvest more in the coming year. Those merchants who want a year's cellar don't have to pay attention. When it's sold out, it's sold out, and they are told that only the old wine is left.
Are you still worried that they won't buy it? β
"That's right...... But why don't you stay at home and rest, what are you doing in the city? β
Liu Kan said: "I'm going to find Mr. Xiao He and go through the formalities of being a slave." Brother, have you forgotten? You can also buy slaves. β
"Ah, if you don't say it, I really forgot."
He patted his head and ran into the room. Zhou Chang is now helping to judge his work and keep the shop in order. However, looking at his anxious appearance, Liu Kan knew in his heart that it seemed that he was going to increase some manpower. Well, this slave needs to be pondered...... To be literate, and to be Qin; There must be certain means to help Zhou Chang share part of the matter.
There aren't many people who can meet this kind of requirement!
At this time, after reviewing the food and Zhou Chang, he finished explaining and ran out.
"Ah Kan, let's go find Lao Cao first, and then call Lao Tang to find Mr. Xiao together...... Oh, I ran into Mr. Xiao just now, and he seems to be going to the prison. In this way, I'll call Lao Tang, you go to find Lao Cao, and meet directly in the prison in a while. β
Liu Kan nodded, "That's fine...... Then hurry up. β
As he spoke, Liu Kan turned around and walked out of the courtyard and walked towards Cao Wuxian's home. Jail...... Slaves?
Liu Kan suddenly remembered the white middle-aged man who fell in the mud in the morning. He is an old Qin man, so he naturally knows Qin Wen; And being a jailer must also have some means. Simply, this is the person...... What's the name? It seems to be called Cheng Miao!
"Little brother!"
Liu Kan was thinking about his thoughts, and suddenly felt as if someone was calling him.
Stop, turn around. Liu Kan was stunned, and couldn't help but say in his heart: Why is she?
