Chapter 290 Cotton

Winter goes to spring, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

According to the Gregorian calendar, the time has entered the spring of 198 BC.

Wei Yue and Baili Yishui were pregnant in October and gave birth once, and the two daughters added a son to Xiang Zhuang within three days, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his father Fan Zeng to name his son, Fan Zeng slightly considered it, and named the third son born to Wei Yue, and named the fourth son born to Baili Yishui.

So far, Xiang Zhuang has four sons, the eldest son Xiang Zheng, the second son Xiang Zhi, the third son Xiang Quan, and the fourth son Xiang Shu.

In the past six months, there has been basically no major incident in Jiangdong, through the compilation of the household Qi Minlaw, the Shinong Industry and Commerce Division, and the Xintian Law, Xiangzhuang's royal power has been unprecedentedly consolidated, and the political situation of the counties and counties has been completely incorporated into the rule of the central government, and the three major forces of clans, scholars, and families have been greatly weakened.

In the palace of the king of Chu, Xiang Zhuang was practicing swords in the back garden.

It's spring now, but it's not the time to hunt, except for hunting, there is really no other entertainment in this era, Xiang Zhuang has the intention to choose a group of young and beautiful kabuiths among the people to fill the palace, but before it can be implemented, it was fiercely opposed by Yafu, Xiang He and others, so he had to give up.

If he has nothing to do, Xiang Zhuang can only practice swordsmanship.

After practicing the sword and sweating, Xiang Zhuang was about to take a bath, but Ying Zhen went into the back garden.

"Zhenniang, why are you here?" Xiang Zhuang handed the sword in his hand to Jin Xiang, and then took the hot towel from Ying Zhen and wiped his face.

Ying Zhen hummed lightly and said in a low voice: "King, the concubine has something to discuss with you." ”

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "It's another matter of passing the technique?" The widow has already said that as long as Yishui does not object, the widow will not object, you, it is only right to find Yishui. ”

Long before Baili Yishui gave birth to Xiang Shu, Ying Zhen had already revealed the idea of adoptive, which is also normal, Ying Zhen has been following Xiang Zhuang for almost three years, seeing that Wei Yue has given birth to two children, and Baili Yishui has also given birth to a son, how can Ying Zhen not know that most of them are unable to give birth, so she came up with the idea of raising a son.

As for why she wanted to inherit Baili Yi's Xiangshu instead of Wei Yuesheng's Xiang Quan, Ying Zhen's superficial statement was that Wei Yue had already passed on a son to Xiang Yu, so she didn't mean to open her mouth to Wei Yue again, but where could she hide it from Xiang Zhuang at this little point, Ying Zhen actually wanted to succeed an heir with the blood of the old Qin people.

Xiang Zhuang's voice fell, and Ying Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Wang, are you serious?" ”

"Of course." Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "When does the widow not count when he speaks?" ”

"King, Yi Shui has already promised to pass Shu'er to his concubines, Gege." Ying Zhen said, and ran away like a butterfly wearing flowers.

Xiang Zhuang shook his head, and was about to turn around to go to bathe, when Huyan Zhengde suddenly hurried into the back garden. …,

"King!" Huyan Zhengde waved at Xiang Zhuang and said, "Dantu urgently report, Ge Sheng has returned!" ”

"Oh, Gosheng is back?!" Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't take care of bathing and changing clothes at the moment, so he hurriedly said, "Where is Ge Sheng now, let him enter the palace immediately to see the widow, quickly!" ”

"Whoa!" Huyan Zhengde suddenly responded and took the order.

In less than a moment, Huyan Zhengde led Ge Sheng in.

Seeing Ge Sheng for the first time, Xiang Zhuang almost didn't recognize it, is this still the Ge Sheng he knows? Not to mention that the whole person has lost a lot of weight, the clothes on his body are also ragged, and the skin on his face and body is as black as charcoal, and the whole is an indigenous monkey in Southeast Asia in later generations!

"Ge Sheng, why do you look like this?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

Seeing Ge Sheng's appearance, Xiang Zhuang knew that he was afraid that he would lose his count when he went to Nanyang this time.

"King!" Ge Sheng fell to his knees and said miserably, "The king, the minister has insulted the mission and disappointed you." ”

"Get up, get up and speak." Xiang Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help Ge Sheng up, and said, "You speak slowly, talk about it from beginning to end." ”

Ge Sheng nodded and said: "King, last summer, the minister led ten big ships and two thousand Rui soldiers to the South Seas, and the journey was extremely smooth, and it took less than half a month for the fleet to arrive at Panyu Wharf, but the officials of the South Vietnamese Kingdom did not let us dock at all, so the minister had to lead the fleet to continue south. ”

At a native wharf further south, the minister finally made the first deal, exchanging a horse of silk for half a boatload of rice, where he also found the kind of plant called "cotton" that the king had spoken, and as he spoke, Ge Sheng took out a silk bag from his bosom, and then untied the wrapper, which contained dozens of cotton seeds. ”

"Ge Sheng, this is a cottonseed?!" Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed and said, "Have you ever seen this plant with your own eyes, its leaf shape, and blooming flowers, is it the same as the painting that the widow gave you?" ”

Ge Sheng nodded and said firmly: "That's right, it's exactly the same as the painting." ”

"Okay, great!" Xiang Zhuang took the dozens of cotton seeds from Ge Sheng's hand like a treasure, and said, "But Ge Sheng, why is there only so much?" Now that you've found cotton, why don't you get more seeds? Also, why not ask for some cotton back? ”

"Ugh." Ge Sheng sighed and said gloomily, "The minister actually traded six boats of cotton, and there were dozens of large barrels of cottonseeds, but these cottons and cottonseeds capsized in the storm on the way back, along with all the big ships, and the two thousand sharpmen who went south with the ministers were also buried at the bottom of the sea, only the minister was sent to the shallows by the waves, and rescued the fishermen of Jinxian County, as well as these dozens of cotton seeds, which also took the minister a few days to pick up from the beach." ”

Xiang Zhuang was shocked when he heard this, ten big ships and two thousand sailors were all finished like this?

I don't want to think about it, Xiang Zhuang is relieved, even in the century, there are often fishing boats capsized in typhoons, let alone this era? Although the center of gravity of the Chu ship built by the bus transport car is stable, if it encounters a strong typhoon, hurricanes and hurricanes can still easily tear apart the entire big ship.

"It's okay, Ge Sheng, it's good that you're back." Xiang Zhuang patted Ge Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Besides, didn't you bring back the cotton seeds?" Brought back the cotton seeds, even if you go to the South Seas this time, even if you are done, ten big ships are nothing, even a hundred big ships, and their value is not worth this cotton seed! ”

"The king, the minister......" Ge Sheng choked up, unable to make a sound any longer.

"Alright, you can go back and rest. ,, Xiang Zhuang said, "In the past few months, you don't have to do anything, just take care of it at home, when your body recovers, and then train an elite sailor for the widow, and then the widow will let the bus build you a hundred big boats, and we will go to the Western Ocean!" ”…,

"Whoa!" Ge Sheng responded suddenly, and then turned around.

Xiang Zhuang then took the small bag of cotton seeds back to the back garden, and set up a piece of land in the back garden, and asked Jin Xiang to take his own soldiers to loosen the soil and fertilize the land, and then carefully planted these dozens of cotton seeds, Xiang Zhuang grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and knew that cotton grew up for a long time, so he had to sow seeds in the spring.

After half a year of preparation, Bai Mo finally began to change the law in Guanzhong.

There are actually some differences between Bai Mo's implementation of "Junyao Service and Equal Calculation" and Zhang Juzheng's whip method and Yongzheng's apportionment into the mu.

Zhang Juzheng's whip method is to convert all the Yao service and miscellaneous labor into silver taels, while Bai Mo's Jun Yao Wei converts Yao labor into grain and appoints it to the field endowment, however, Bai Mo's flat calculation is the same thing as Yongzheng's apportionment into the mu, both of which convert the poll tax into the field endowment, and from then on only the field tax is collected, and the poll tax is not levied.

As soon as the new law was introduced, it was immediately met with fierce opposition from the powerful in Guanzhong.

Because the essence of "Junyao service and equal calculation" is to reduce the tax burden of the common people, but it will greatly increase the tax burden of the wealthy and powerful families such as the family and the scholars, which undoubtedly seriously damages the interests of the powerful in Guanzhong.

After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he forcibly moved the world to fill in the Guanzhong, so there were a lot of Haoqiang in the Guanzhong, after the fall of Qin, some of the Haoqiang followed the extinction, and some of the Haoqiang hid in the countryside, but most of the Haoqiang were surrendered to Liu Bang because of the "Three Chapters of the Law", and in the Chu and Han Dynasty hegemony, these Haoqiang made a lot of contributions to Liu Bang.

Therefore, the power of Guanzhong Haoqiang is very great, and it is also meritorious, and now Liu Bang not only does not reward meritorious deeds, but wants to snatch food from their mouths, how can Guanzhong Haoqiang be willing to give up? At that time, many powerful people gathered to make trouble, and obstructed the progress of the county officials to clear the land.

However, Liu Bang's determination to change the law was great, not only gave Bai Mo the power to deal with it on the spot, but also appointed Zhou Guanfu, the camel general of the Han army, as the general of the law protector, and led five thousand elite soldiers to protect the law.

Thousands of bloody heads fell to the ground, and Guanzhong Haoqiang suddenly realized, this time the King of Han is serious, if they continue to resist, they will definitely not be pleased, in the final analysis, the King of Han is the lord of Guanzhong and Bashu, and they have more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops in their hands, even if Guanzhong Haoqiang rebels together, he is not the opponent of the King of Han.

More importantly, the new law has received strong support from more than 3 million Lishu people in Guanzhong and Bashu!

It is no exaggeration to say that the poll tax is a heavy shackle on the necks of the people of Lishu, and now the king of Han wants to abolish the poll tax, which is not a great gospel for the majority of the people of Lishu, how can they not support it? It's just that they didn't believe in the King of Han at first, and it wasn't until Zhou Guanfu suppressed the troublemakers in more than a dozen counties and killed thousands of heads that the people finally believed it, and began to spare no effort to support the change.

Faced with the two-pronged attack of the royal power and the vast number of Li Shu people, Guanzhong Haoqiang soon died down...... )
