Today's King Qin's Palace, driven by the hearty laughter of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the atmosphere seems to be very lively.

Even the patriarchs of the wealthy families who trembled in front of King Qin in the past and did not dare to breathe in the atmosphere, today under the stimulation of both food and wine, they have gradually let go of their courage, and they are far less restrained and apprehensive than before.

In this way, the guests are happy.

Zhao Zheng saw that all the patriarchs of the Qinchuan clan were so knowledgeable about current affairs today, and he was naturally very satisfied in his heart.

In this way, the coal, pepper, dry tea, and other strange things in the Western Regions that are exclusively franchised by Huaxia Trading Company can be regarded as gradually opening up the market in this Qinchuan County!

And under the strong leadership of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he forcibly entered the richest and most capable upper class in the entire Qinchuan County!

I believe that on the one hand, it is strongly driven by the golden signboard of His Royal Highness King Qin, and on the other hand, it is strongly promoted by the two big killers of barbecue and hot pot!

Almost immediately, it can be directly asserted that the two spices of the Western Regions, pepper and dry tea, will definitely spread quickly among the upper-class celebrities of the entire Qinchuan County and become an instant hit!

Even after the passage of time, there will be celebrity chefs who use this Western Regions spice in other dishes!

At that time, the market for pepper and dry tea will be truly opened, and it will become more and more popular over time, and even gradually spread to the majority of ordinary people!

Of course, this process may be very long, but for the Huaxia Trading Company, which has monopolized the right to trade strange things in the entire Western Regions, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is only twelve years old, this will definitely be a good business that will be prosperous for a long time!

Moreover, Zhao Zheng was not at all worried about whether these things would be widely circulated in Qinchuan County, after all, ......

His Royal Highness the King of Qin personally brought the goods, but he was still worried that he couldn't sell them?

However, compared with seasoning spices such as pepper and dry tea, it still needs to be fermented for a long time before you can gradually develop the habit of eating this new type of spice.

But at the moment, it is the most direct, and you can see huge benefits immediately, which can be called the immediate coal, but it is the top priority that Zhao Zheng wants to promote!

Just because the weather happens to enter the winter, it is gradually getting colder and colder, and it is the season to heat up and make a fire!

This coal stone is just very useful!

And unlike things such as peppers and dry tea, it is currently limited to the upper-class celebrities of Qinchuan County who have spending power.

The price of coal and stone, Zhao Zheng was originally set at half of the price of the high-grade charcoal market, for the wealthy family, it will only feel cheap to buy, and there will be no distress at all.

But for those ordinary people in Qinchuan County, the price of coal and stone is just within the acceptable level of a little enough!

For many ordinary people who can't afford to burn charcoal and can only work hard to chop firewood, this winter, they only need to buy some coal and stone, supplemented by some firewood, and they can spend it safely.

As a result, the use of coal and stone will inevitably soar, which will have unimaginable huge benefits for Huaxia Trading Company!

Besides, this is just the amount of usage in the entire Qinchuan County, if it is really expanded, it will spread all over Kyushu!

So the huge benefits that coal and stone can produce...... It's unimaginable!!

On behalf of the Huaxia Trading Company, Hawking has rushed to the border of the Tiger Prison, and with the assistance of the Tiger Prison Border Army, he successfully took over a total of five open-pit coal yards in Qinchuan County, and the vigorous coal mining work has been carried out thoroughly!

In the twists and turns of Hawking's urgent mail, he has successively mobilized thousands of displaced people from the disaster area to go to the Qinchuan Mountains, and used the method of work-for-relief to completely turn these thousands of landless displaced people into coal miners, mining for His Royal Highness the King of Qin every day, transporting a truckload of coal and stone that can be called black gold out of the mountains and sending it to all parts of Qinchuan!

And for this, all His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Huaxia Trading Company have to pay is enough food and shelter to feed these displaced people......

Even so, in the eyes of Zhao Zheng's later generations, this way of hiring labor, which was undoubtedly no different from the slave owners who bloodily oppressed slaves, was tantamount to giving them a rare opportunity to survive in exchange for coolies in the disaster area.

If it weren't for this, these displaced people in the disaster area, who had no land or a house, wandered all day long, and had no last meal, would probably starve to death in a corner without dignity one day, or freeze to death in the wilderness like a wild dog......

The work in the mines is hard work, but at least it gives them a chance to live!

Therefore, in Hawking's plan, he planned to gradually gather the poor and homeless people in the county, and live in the mountains of Qinchuan to mine coal for His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

But even so, for hundreds of thousands of displaced people, the jobs that the mines can provide are still too few and far between......

The wars in Qinchuan over the years have been raging, I don't know how many families have been shattered, I don't know how many civilian wives have been separated, and then this once-in-a-century drought, if it weren't for Zhao Zhengfeng, the king here, doing his best to relieve the victims, I'm afraid that after this winter, the population of Qinchuan County will at least die and flee hundreds of thousands!

This is tantamount to a fatal blow to Qinchuan County, which has a total population of only two or three million!

It must be known that in the ancient feudal society, population was the foundation of all development, and it was the most important thing!

Therefore, if Zhao Zheng wants to vigorously develop Qinchuan and make Qinchuan's economy take off rapidly, the first condition must be a sufficient population!

Otherwise no one ...... Then you still play with a bird?

Therefore, so many landless and displaced people naturally need to be properly resettled, and they will be transformed from the unstable factors of Qinchuan County into the firewood and cornerstone of Qinchuan's economic take-off!

Therefore, in the two top priorities discussed by Zhao Zheng and Zhuge Junshi, a large number of landless displaced people in the county were requisitioned, and these large-scale displaced people were organized to sell coolies in the form of work for relief, so as to expand official roads and build water conservancy.

Of course, whether it is mining farms, expanding official roads, or building water conservancy, the number of laborers that can be requisitioned is only tens of thousands.

To really be able to resettle hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in large numbers at one time, it is still necessary to rely on this raid of the family and exterminate the clan, and start thinking from the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land that originally belonged to the 11th clan of Qinchuan.

Therefore, in addition to the two major events of expanding trade routes and building water conservancy, it is also necessary to properly deal with the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land that have been confiscated and confiscated to the state!

These displaced people scattered all over the county were conscripted as tenants, on the one hand, to solve their food and clothing problems, and on the other hand, to solve the problem of uncultivated tens of thousands of acres of fertile land......

After all, the farmers and miscellaneous servants who were once responsible for cultivating and taking care of these fertile fields have long been implicated in the great crime of rebellion by their masters, and they have been beaten as sinners and sent to the frontier, and all of them have gone to the Tiger Prison Pass to dredge the trade routes!

And to treat them as sinners and slaves, the officials who are responsible for supervising the creation are not so polite, and it is not uncommon for them to be beaten to death at every turn if they are a little lazy, and it can be said that they will not be treated as human beings at all, even compared to the homeless miners in the mine, the treatment they receive is also a heaven and earth.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to not die after opening up the Tiger Prison Trade Road, you will naturally be assigned to work in the nearby mine as a laborer, and you will continue to mine until you die......

In these troubled times of ancient times, human life is sometimes extremely precious, and sometimes it is as cheap as ants.

But it is precisely because of this that the rule of the upper class over the people at the bottom in ancient feudal society has reached a peak.

For example, in today's Qin Wang's Palace, in the face of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is only twelve years old, but because of his royal status and orthodox canonization, supplemented by one or two wise means, it is enough to make the entire Qinchuan County bow down and obey his orders, so that these family masters who are old enough to be his grandfather on the scene grovel and laugh respectfully.

Now His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the young vassal king, shakes at will, which is enough to make the entire Qinchuan County panic inexplicably!

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Presumably they have all eaten and drunk enough, and then they will invite the three Qin Chuanmao to appear on the stage, and set their future positions for them. ”

The wine was drunk, and suddenly, His Royal Highness King Qin clapped his hands gently, but he smiled in public.

“……”

As soon as His Royal Highness King Qin spoke, the courtyard that was still a little noisy suddenly fell silent, and everyone was concentrating, looking at the three Qin Chuan Maocai who appeared in turn with envious eyes.

It stands to reason that Qinchuan County can only recommend one Maocai to the imperial court every year.

Now not only the number of Maocai has increased to three every year, but also the benefit of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, because it belongs to the country of Qin, so if the county Maocai does not enter the court as an official, and stays in Qinchuan, you can not go directly to the court, and then determine the position after the assessment.

However, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Qin personally assesses, he can directly enter the office, and he can enter the army at will in the Qin State.

Therefore, today's move by His Royal Highness King Qin ...... I want to keep all these three Maocai in the county, so as to be worthy of my own use.

"Tim Le...... Since you have been appointed by this king as a Maocai in the county, you don't know if you can think about it, and you want to leave any position in the county? ”

Zhao Zheng looked at the three crowned young talents in front of him, so he immediately looked at Gucci on the far left and asked with a smile.

As soon as His Royal Highness King Qin spoke, the atmosphere of the audience suddenly calmed, knowing that His Royal Highness King Qin's examination school had officially begun!

As for Gucci himself, he was even more flattered and hurriedly bowed down and responded respectfully.

"Back to His Highness, Chi is fortunate to be valued by His Highness, and he is named Qinchuan Maocai, and he is still terrified of His Highness's kindness in his heart, how dare he pick and choose?"

Zhao Zheng suddenly smiled when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand again and again.

"Eh~, this king will pick you if you want to pick it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience froze, and they all looked at this Gu grandson curiously, but they didn't know what kind of position he would get?

As for Gucci's grandfather, Gucci, he clenched his fists nervously, hoping that his grandson would not lose his words and displease His Highness.

"This ......"

Gucci's heart was even more shocked, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Qin's examination school would be like this!

Not only did he not take the examination of the four books and five classics of the school, nor did he take the examination of the school's governing talents, but he asked himself what kind of position he wanted to seek?

It's really confusing to take the school exam like this!

This seemingly simple examination is actually the most difficult!

This is tantamount to His Royal Highness King Qin making himself think about his own talent and what kind of position he can apply to, and then he will conduct a targeted assessment, but he can hit the nail on the head and grasp his true talent in the shortest possible time!

This kind of examination school is really unheard of......

"That being the case...... Na Chi is respectful and might as well obey his fate. ”

In a flash of thought, Gucci knew that now was not the time to think too much, so he responded with a smile, and then frowned and began to think carefully about how he should respond.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng naturally didn't hurry, just looked at him with a happy smile to see how he would answer.

"Your Highness...... Chi has studied diligently since childhood, read hundreds of scriptures, and has gained from Confucianism and Law, and has been studying hard for 20 years, and has long been determined to create the blessing of all people with his own body! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Gucci finally gave up and told him what he wanted.

"Therefore, with His Royal Highness Wang En in front, he has the courage to speak! Desire for a county order! Solve the worries and difficulties for His Highness, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

As he spoke, Gucci immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly!

"Wow!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!

But no one would have thought that this grandson of the Gu clan would be so bold, only twenty years old, but dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin for the position of county magistrate?!

"Hahahaha! Good! Since you dare to ask this king for the order of a county, why don't you dare to give it? ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and immediately slapped the Wang case and said in public!

"What?!"

But what His Royal Highness King Qin said next made everyone in the audience even more shocked!

Everyone couldn't believe it, in the face of such a bold request, His Royal Highness really agreed on the spot, and allowed this Gu clan's grandson to serve as the county magistrate!!

"Minister! Thank you, Your Highness!! ”

Gucci was first shocked when he heard this, and then kowtowed again and again with great joy, but he was extremely aware of the opportunity, and even changed his claim from "Chi" to "minister" on the spot!

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Highness!! ”

Gu Qi was still worried in his heart about whether His Highness would be angry because of this, but suddenly when he heard what His Highness said, he immediately threw himself to the ground excitedly, kowtowed with his grandson, and shouted thank you in his mouth!

He naturally understood in his heart that this was His Highness's special care for his Gu clan!

Of course, it is a silent but extremely beneficial hint to all the Qinchuan clans!

This!

It is the benefit and reward of allegiance to His Royal Highness King Qin!!

"Okay, well, although this king admires your courage, but in a county, how can it be easy to play? Therefore, although you are given the post of county magistrate, it is temporarily the substitute county magistrate in March, if it is really unworthy...... But don't blame the king for turning his face ruthlessly, and stroking to the end! ”

However, immediately after, His Royal Highness King Qin's additional words suddenly made everyone in the audience feel solemn, but they all recognized and admired.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin is still young, but he acts and thinks about it, but he has the style of a wise monarch, and he is really secret!

"What Your Highness said is very true! If the minister is really incompetent, there is no need for His Highness to speak in person, and he should be shameless and face the king again! ”

Gucci looked solemn, forced to hide the excitement in his heart, and tried his best!

"Hmm...... So much better! ”

Zhao Zheng chuckled, raised his right hand to signal his flat body, and then looked at Hao Zhen next to him again.

"Hao Shi Hao Zhen, see my king!"

As soon as a 'my king' came out, he suddenly ordered Fang Cai to be lucky enough to win the county order, and couldn't help but feel a little restless courtyard, and there was a sudden silence!

Everyone looked at the grandson of the Hao family who was kneeling in front of His Royal Highness in amazement, but they never thought that this guy who usually looked honest and stupid, honest and honest, would be so shameless when he patted his ass!

This sentence of my king, such a kind and auspicious saying, but unexpectedly he was given the first step by this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes!!

"Uh...... Belch? ”

For a while, even Zhao Zheng was shocked on the spot by this sudden squirting of my king, but after being stunned for a few breaths, he couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot!

"Hahaha!"

This sentence of my king really called Zhao Zheng's heart!

He couldn't stop laughing on the spot, but he could only force himself down, and asked with a smile pointing at Hao Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Haha, you guy...... But what kind of position do you want to get? ”

In any case, this sentence of my king is really comfortable in people's hearts, and they are very happy!

This...... I have a bit of an idle vassal king's feeling!

"Back to my king, I really know that I am dull, and I have no talent to govern the world, and I have already been deeply impressed by my king! Now I don't want to be an official and a half-job, but I want to be able to follow my king's left and right, and remember my king's words and deeds with the pen in my real hand, so that the world can praise it and pass it on through the ages! ”

Hao Zhen knelt on the ground, his body did not dare to tremble in the slightest, and said in a respectful voice!

And the words in his mouth were even more shocking, and everyone in the audience looked sideways, and they were all silent......

"Hahahaha! Good for you, Hao Zhen! Do you really think so?! ”

Zhao Zheng was even more happy when he heard this, but he felt that this Hao Zhen was really a wonderful person!

"Return to my king! If there is half a falsehood in what the truth has just said! May the sky thunder and roar, and never be overborn!! ”

Such an astonishment made everyone even more stunned, and then they all couldn't laugh or cry.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qin still on the spot, there would definitely be people who would be amused by this Hao Niu and laugh on the spot!

Such a good opportunity, I didn't know how to learn from the grandson of the Gu clan to seek an important position, but instead slapped a bunch of meaningless sycophants!

Isn't it ridiculous and stupid to end up with nothing to be gained?

"Good, good! If you have this heart, then you will follow this king, and you will ...... for the time being Entrust him with the post of secretary of Great Qin! ”

Zhao Zheng was even more amused, and after finally holding back his laughter, he agreed to this sincere heart, temporarily allowed him to serve as a clerk, and let him follow him to record his words and deeds.

"Hehehaha......"

As soon as the clerk came out, the whole courtyard immediately burst into laughter.

After all, this position of clerk is an official position that none of the countries of Kyushu has ever had!

His Royal Highness the King of Qin teased this fool so much that he couldn't help it, so he casually agreed to the position of a useless clerk, who knew that this fool kowtowed again and again like a treasure, as if he was promised what a great official he was!

Such a funny scene, even if His Royal Highness King Qin was present, everyone in the audience couldn't help but laugh softly.

However, Hao Niu, the patriarch of the Hao clan, was very satisfied with his grandson's performance in his heart, not to mention anything else, at least this sentence is my king...... That's quite a good shot!

In this way, it will surely leave a deep impression on the heart of His Highness!

In the future, if anyone calls me king again, won't Your Highness think of my grandson Hao Zhen?

"Ministers Gaojin, see my king!"

At this moment, Hao Niu saw that the henchman of His Royal Highness the King of Qin actually followed his grandson and called me king, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that his grandson's sycophant was really just right, and it reached the peak!

"Huh...... Ah Jin, today is a big gift for you, but why do you need so many gifts? ”

At that moment, in front of everyone's eyes, His Royal Highness King Qin immediately set off and helped Gao Jin get up!

Such a scene, the people who were simply stunned, combined with the incomparably intimate Ah Jin, but in their hearts, for this unknown Gao Jin, instantly rose to the point where it must never be violated!

"My king! Jin is fortunate to have this opportunity! Up and down in this life, but for my king to go to the soup and go to the fire, I will not give up!! ”

Everyone else was already so stunned, not to mention Gao Jin himself, the moment he was helped up by His Royal Highness, his heart was stirred, and he couldn't help but shout!

And the old housekeeper Gao De saw this scene on the side, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, almost crying, and he only felt that the previous decision was really wise!

So under the solemn and shocking gaze of everyone, Zhao Zheng and Gao Jin completed a series of crowning ceremonies such as sacrificing to the sky together, and then came to the most important crowning link!

"Come, then it will be up to the king...... Crowned with your own hands! ”

At this moment, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but chuckle lightly in the face of the respectful kneeling figure, took the jade crown from the hands of the old butler Gao De, and put it on the top of Gao Jin's head with his own hands.

Gao Jin immediately felt the slight weight above his head, savored one of the most important moments in his life, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and thanked him respectfully!

"Minister...... Thank you, my king! ”

At this time, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but paced slowly in place, and began to think about what word should be given?

But fortunately, he had already had an experience, so when he even considered starting with Gao Jin's name, he kept muttering Gao Jin's name.

"Gao Jin...... Gao Jin ......"

And everyone in the audience also saw that His Highness was contemplating at this moment, and they were all silent, not daring to disturb in the slightest.

"Hey! With the "

Suddenly, Fu Ling's heart was full, and Zhao Zheng was talking about the name of Gao Jin, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly turned to look at Gao Jin!

"Ah Jin, then I will give you a word......"

Saying that, Zhao Zheng couldn't help it, and said with a smile on the spot!

"Let's moisturize!"

……

"The clerk is the first position of Emperor Qian.

Catching up with the ancients, looking at Kyushu, what is the secretary, what is the secretary?

How can the monarchs of all nations ever appoint special historians for their own use?

Emperor Qian's move is tantamount to the best evidence of his greed for merit, his desire for fame, his disrespect for historical facts, and his shamelessness! ”
