Chapter 16 How much silver does this king have now? (4.5K 2-in-1 Grand Chapter!) )

On the way back to the convoy, Zhao Zheng's mind was full of today's observations:

Dead babies in ditches, yellow-faced farmers, dry and barren fields, ruined houses, and starless villagers look terrified at the sight of uninvited guests......

This...... Is it your own fiefdom?

This...... Are they the people under their rule?

Since Zhao Zheng crossed over to the Great Qian Dynasty, he has never had such an unprecedented shocking impact!!

The stillborn babies accumulated over the years are too violent, for a modern person who has traveled from the 21st century, the visual impact is too violent!

He was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that his subjects could be so pitiful and pathetic?!

The dead babies ...... But it's all a living human life!

That's it! Abandon it in the wilderness?!

Zhao Zheng lost his mind for a long time, was silent and couldn't speak, and galloped alone, but he didn't even know how to say half a sentence!

Until he got into the king's car again, he still didn't say a word, his mind was chaotic, his mind was fluctuating, his mind was fluctuating, and he couldn't help staring out the window at the boundless sky, stunned......

Only this time, the same wilderness road, the same king car, and even more violent bumps!

But in Zhao Zheng's heart at this moment, he didn't seem to feel too much, and even gradually became a little accustomed to it.

Because he had to suddenly start confronting a problem!

He had to change from the original game-like mentality to the responsibility and burden of a county lord under the violent impact!

This devastated and war-torn Qinchuan County is not a place for him to play games at will!

These hard-working, skinny and yellow-skinned people of Qinchuan are not playthings that can be teased at will!

It's one by one, one by one!!

It's so much alive......

Perhaps for any feudal lord who grew up in this era, he could sit back and watch the people be displaced and the civilians starve everywhere without psychological pressure.

But for Zhao Zheng, a modern person who grew up in the 21st century, he can't sit back and watch these living lives disappear under his nose!

In the 21st century, when the death of a person is enough to cause a sensation in the entire county, it is impossible to imagine what a tragic scene it would be to die thousands or even tens of thousands of people at the same time!

Zhao Zheng knew in his heart that he could not treat human life as a mustard, let alone be the person in power in this era, the kind of cold-blooded cruelty that treats ordinary people as human beings at all.

Therefore, after witnessing the same scene with their own eyes, for others who have long been accustomed to this troubled world and have long been accustomed to human life like a mustard, the impact in their hearts is naturally far from being comparable to Zhao Zheng!

In this era when the supreme ruler of a state is called a state pastor, when has the common people ever had such a thing as human rights?

What does it mean to know that the state is pastoral?

Shepherd is a word for sheep and cattle herding and livestock grazing!!

In the eyes of those in power in this era, what is the difference between the heads of the Qians and the like under the cold door, the ignorant people who can't read big characters, and the likes of cattle and horses?

But this kind of mentality, which has long been accustomed to in this era, is a gap that will never be crossed for any modern person with a sound mind and a good basic education!!

Therefore, when Zhao Zheng experienced the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of this troubled world for the first time, he stayed in the king's car and was speechless for a long time......

Zhao Zheng felt a little lost for the first time, he didn't know if his thin shoulders could support such a large Qinchuan border county, and whether he could bear so many Qinchuan people?!

He didn't know, he even felt a little scared, and even flinched.

What he didn't know was that unconsciously, he had the mentality of playing the world.

Finally, since the crossing, under the violent impact, an indescribable upheaval has occurred......

……

Hanyang City, Qinchuan County

"Your Highness, that is where the Qinchuan County Mansion is located - Hanyang City!"

Zhao Zheng looked at the railing, looking at the huge city that was quite powerful in the distance, and couldn't help but bow slightly.

This Hanyang City, where the county capital of Qinchuan County is located, can be said to be the political, cultural, economic, and commercial center of the entire Qinchuan County.

Of course, Qinchuan was already in difficulty, even if it was Hanyang City, where the county government was located, it was just like that.

It's just that because there is a perennial harassment on the border of Beidikou, this city wall is slightly taller and thicker than ordinary cities.

But no matter what, Hanyang City is also the largest city in Qinchuan, and for Zhao Zheng, the supreme ruler of Qinchuan, his palace can only be built here.

As the former supreme ruler of Qinchuan County, Qinchuan Taishou - Yaofei was in the Shili Pavilion outside Hanyang City for the first time, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Qin in advance.

At this moment, Yaofei looked at the banner from afar, the rumbling convoy of King Qin, and the huge banner of the word 'Qin', which clearly showed that His Royal Highness the King of Qin under the banner was the supreme ruler of Qinchuan County!

This huge royal flag waving in the wind not only represents Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, but also the monarch of Qin!!

When the honor guard of the monarch of the Qin State drove slowly into the Shili Pavilion, the officials of the county and the patriarchs of the famous families who had already been waiting here all knelt on the ground, kneeling to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Qin to Hanyang with the great gift of the monarch and the ministers!

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness King Qin! Long live King Qin, long live, long live!! ”

In the tsunami-like greeting sound of the mountains, Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, stood on the railing, wearing a colorful royal costume and a golden and jade crown on his head, although he was only twelve years old, he had an indescribable steady and luxurious atmosphere.

I saw him slowly inspect the scene, his eyes swept over all the people who were kneeling on the ground one by one, but he was rarely expressionless, just looked around like this, and did not say a word for a long time.

Behind him, the three hundred armor soldiers and five hundred janissaries standing solemnly were also silent at this moment, their faces were solemn, and they seemed to be loyal to carry out the king's orders at any time and take down everyone in front of them.

When His Royal Highness King Qin first arrived, he behaved like this, and the officials and clans who knelt on the ground in fright were all terrified, and they didn't even dare to mess around.

They all speculated in their hearts about what His Royal Highness King Qin's actions were, what did he intend?

Could it be that when you first come to Qinchuan, you want to give everyone a dismount?

Everyone speculated and was uneasy in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out, let alone writhe, and they all honestly lay on the ground, motionless and waiting for His Royal Highness King Qin to make a statement.

After all, as the lord of a county and the king of a country, the King of Qin naturally has the supreme power to kill and seize such ministers as them!

Who dares to speak wantonly in front of the king?

"Huh...... Let's get even. ”

Zhao Zheng stared like this for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, gently raised his right hand, and ordered everyone to calm down immediately.

"Ministers...... Thank you, Lord Longne! ”

Only then did everyone suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up, and thanked him.

At this time, as the head of the hundred officials here, Qin Chuan Taishou - Yaofei, naturally immediately moved forward, quickly ran to the front of the king's car, looked up at His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and said respectfully.

"Your Highness...... Qinchuan county officials, the Hanyang family, in order to welcome His Royal Highness in charge of Qinchuan, specially set up a dinner for His Royal Highness in the county government to celebrate. ”

Yaofei looked deferential, full of courtesy, looked at the figure on Gao Liwang's car, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, look at ......"

"Ridiculous!"

Who knew that King Qin was suddenly displeased, but reprimanded angrily in public!

"Since this king entered Qinchuan, everywhere he went, everywhere he looked, the people were all displaced, and most of the fields were abandoned and desolate!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng only felt that nightmarish picture appeared in front of him again, the corpses of poor and weak dead babies everywhere......

"The cadres of your county, how can you not think about the strategy of governing Qinchuan and the diseases of the people! On the contrary, it is extravagant and wasteful, showing the ability of flattery?! ”

Zhao Zheng's face was grim, and he looked around again, only to feel that the people in front of him were all wasted people's fat and people's ointment!

"When this king arrives in Qinchuan at the beginning of today, he will announce it to the county! When we come to Qinchuan, we will definitely rectify the rule of officials and eliminate the unhealthy trend of sycophancy! Enrich the country and strengthen the people, save the people of Qinchuan from dire straits! ”

Then he didn't wait for everyone to respond, but he immediately pointed in the air, mercilessly in public!

"What you have done in the past is not to blame! But from now on, if there are those who disobey the order, those who know the law and break the law, and those who abuse the people! Ben Wang ...... No mercy!! ”

After saying that, he suddenly flicked his sleeve robe and pointed directly at Hanyang.

"Immediately leave for Hanyang, all the big and small officials will return to their posts, prepare the county book, and return the details of the county to this king!"

Immediately, without waiting for everyone's response, he immediately turned back to the carriage, put down the curtain, and sat upright in the king's couch, closed his eyes and recuperated, and was silent.

It's just that in this heart, emotions are stirring endlessly, and thoughts are surging......

Along the way, he traveled all over the small half of Qinchuan before he knew what extent the so-called Qinchuan hardship had reached?

In Qinchuan, where the war is already raging, it is extremely difficult for the people to make a living, and this year there is a major drought, and there is no harvest, which leads to the poor livelihood of the people in the county, the people are displaced, and even flee to the outside of the gate to be savages!

There were bloody scenes along the way, and the exciting Zhao Zheng couldn't sleep all day and night.

When had he ever seen such a miserable situation in the world?!

Originally, he just wanted to be an idle vassal king, and he was leisurely and happy in the world, how could he still have the heart to do what he wanted?

There was only one question on his mind right now!

How should Qinchuan be governed?!

He really, really doubted that if he continued to indulge like this, in such a chaotic world, if this Qinchuan suffered another sword war, or natural and man-made disasters, what should the people do if they were forced to gather a crowd to rebel against themselves?

Don't be an idle prince for a few years, and then he was overthrown by some rebel army or something, it's really not fun!!

Zhao Zheng, who has seen so many examples of rebellion in the history books in later generations, understands very clearly in his heart that although the common people are extremely fooled, at least let them fill their stomachs and barely survive, right?

Otherwise, if you can't even live, but if someone picks up a banner, it will naturally be a response!

Moreover, Qinchuan is in a border county, once there is chaos in this county, then Beidi is waiting for an opportunity to attack again......

Finished! It's all over!

Zhao Zheng didn't want to be confused, he hadn't enjoyed a few years of Qingfu, and he died tragically under the war and swordsmen!

So he was very angry that these moths actually made his good Qinchuan County look like this?

And they are all like no one, as if the great drought that is happening in Qin Chuan has nothing to do with them!

Now I have to go to great lengths to wipe their butts for them, govern Qinchuan properly, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment??

Fuck you!

In this case, how could Zhao Zheng give this gang of wastes a good face?

If I didn't pull you all down one by one, it's already a great gift, right?!

So Zhao Zheng didn't plan to give these people a good face from the beginning, and he also had the intention of giving Ma Wei a good face.

Hence the beginning of today.

He is also taking the opportunity to knock on such an incompetent rice bucket, this Qin Chuan's heavenly ...... But it's changed!!

……

Hanyang Castle and County Government

As the largest and most well-built building complex in Hanyang City, the county government was naturally requisitioned by Zhao Zheng immediately and became the temporary palace of King Qin.

As for the original owner of this county government, Taishou Yaofei, he was naturally forced to move elsewhere.

But obviously, Lord Taishou didn't have time to take care of these at the moment, but hurriedly sorted out the county Chinese book in a hurry, so as to return the county situation to His Royal Highness King Qin as soon as possible.

"Oh? These...... Is it all there? ”

Zhao Zheng sat in the middle of the king's case, raised his eyes and looked at the bamboo slips piled up like a hill in front of him, and asked expressionlessly.

"Back to Your Highness, the treasury statistics and county Chinese books are all here!"

Yaofei wiped his forehead a little nervously, and hurriedly responded.

"Yes."

Zhao Zheng bowed slightly, and then glanced at Zhuge Dian and Hawking, who were standing on the side, and signaled to start.

Suddenly, Hawking flipped through the scrolls and consulted them, and Zhuge secretly wrote statistics, and soon made a complete count of the details of the treasury that were clearly listed.

Yes, when Zhao Zheng first came to Qinchuan, the first thing he had to do was to check the treasury and figure out how much silver he had, so that he could arrange and plan the next matters.

"Strategist, let's be blunt."

Zhao Zheng saw the look of the military advisor Zhuge dark, and his heart suddenly felt bad, but he still waved his hand casually, indicating that he could speak as bluntly.

"Whoa! Back to His Royal Highness, in the treasury of Hanyang Mansion, there are 2.3 million coins of copper, 567,600 taels of silver, more than 35,400 taels of gold, more than 128,600 stones of grain and grass, and more than 7,900 pieces of old armor......

Zhao Zheng listened to this series of numbers and hurriedly interrupted.

"So how much gold and silver is there in the treasury now??"

He knew that although it sounded like there were still millions of coppers and hundreds of thousands of silver, one gold was equal to ten silver and one hundred copper!

More than 2 million copper coins, in fact, when converted, is just more than 20,000 gold!

Even if you add gold and silver...... It doesn't seem like there are many, huh?

"Back to Your Highness, in the treasury, the total amount of gold and silver is ...... There are about 110,000 gold in total. ”

Zhuge secretly calculated in his heart, but he gave the accurate number in a moment.

"Huh? You say that the treasury of a government is the wealth of a county! It's only more than 100,000 gold?! ”

Zhao Zheng was suddenly shocked, but he never thought that this Qinchuan County was poor, but it would be so poor!!

In a dignified county, you can make up more than 100,000 gold??

It is not as good as the Quyang Huo family, and he casually gave himself one-third of the congratulatory gift for the king!

Even when he passed through He's that day, he also sold 88,000 gold as a congratulatory gift!

This huge Qinchuan, can it be so barren??

"Back to Your Highness, it's not ......"

Zhuge secretly replied, which immediately relieved Zhao Zheng's heart, and secretly said, "I'll just say it......."

But then, the military advisor Zhuge secretly added.

"At present, the county still owes the county governments, the troops stationed in the border, the salaries of the county officials, etc., about ...... About 200,000 gold. ”

But then Zhuge secretly said something, but he was so shocked that he immediately jumped up and exclaimed in disbelief!

"What?!"

……

"The hardships of Qinchuan and the barrenness of the border counties are far beyond the imagination of the world!

However, the king of Qin went to Sichuan, only six years, and actually made the county of poverty and hardship in Daqian leap to the center of Kyushu's rich commerce and trade!

Such a miracle is really the best of manpower, and the pinnacle of business! ”
