Chapter 209: Great Wisdom and Foolishness

Propaganda Division!

There is no real power.

But.

The position of the Advocacy Division is transcendent.

They have very important responsibilities.

Whether it is officials or ordinary people, propagandists can propagate and teach them.

Promote the culture of Daqin.

And one of the most important of these is the popularization of Qin law.

Before the indoctrination was fully flourished, the Propaganda Division had a very important strategic position.

And now.

Yingcheng is really angry not Yingfang's Lizheng.

The people don't understand the law, and this is nothing to do with Lizheng.

However, it is directly related to the propagandists of the Communications Division.

This is the propagandist did not advertise in place.

so that the people were ignorant and ignorant.

It has been more than ten days since the propagandists went to the countryside.

In the past ten days, he hopes that the people can have a most basic understanding of Qin Law.

But obviously.

It didn't.

It is the propagandists of the Communications Division who are really setting an example.

Yingcheng is ready to grasp the model and use it as an example to make all propagandists look at it.

And to put it more seriously.

The common people did not know the content of Qin Law, and did not have a general understanding, which was the serious dereliction of duty of the propagandists.

on this.

Yingcheng is ready to deal with it seriously.

Rapid.

Just as Yingcheng was standing on top of his bowed head, three men who were pointing fingers slowly walked in the distance.

The propagandist attached to Yongli, Yingcheng is not familiar with.

But Yingcheng, who was about to reprimand, was completely stunned after hearing the three of them visit!

"The lower officials pay a visit to the prison state!"

Although Yingcheng understood a little, the three of them stood in front of him and bowed, which should mean to meet him.

But.

Seemingly.

"it!"

Yingcheng couldn't help but muttered in his heart, looking extremely surprised, whether it was to himself or to the three people in front of him, he was complaining for a while.

"No need to be polite, get up!" Yingcheng lifted up slightly.

"Thank you!" The three of them looked up at Yingcheng's gesture and replied.

"Alright, let's go back!" Yingcheng's original idea of wanting to reprimand and even ask for guilt was directly extinguished.

Really!

Of these three people, one speaks Hokkien, one speaks Shandong, and the other speaks Northeast dialect!

Where is the Hokkien dialect, in the southeast of the former Chu State, it belonged to the coastal area, close to South Vietnam.

Where is the Shandong dialect, in the past, the Qi country was in Shandong.

Where is the Northeast dialect, in the past, Yan Kingdom was in the Northeast region.

And this.

It took less than ten years for the Qin State to unify the Six Kingdoms.

So far, there is not even a complete unity of words, and this, let alone a unified language.

And this!

Yingcheng couldn't understand what the three of them were talking about.

You can only understand through your mouth and your movements what it means to be in the house.

What a mess!

He was originally going to ask for sin, but he just stopped talking, not wanting to ask for sin.

So be it!

The three of them also cooperated properly, and they looked more enlightened, one of them actually took out a pen and paper from his arms, one of them escaped from the Chinese dictionary, and the other worked hard to explain, and then the three of them looked up the dictionary while writing with Qin characters, and they really said a sentence,

….

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

It's all about guessing and listening to three points.

Ying Cheng paused, changed the language of Yan Guo, and asked, "You have a serious communication problem?"

But.

Yingcheng Yanguo script standard reading question, the farmer from Yan seemed to understand, but did not understand in Yan Guo script wrote: "Across the mountains and soundproof, the land is a hundred miles different, and the sound is different from each other."

"Xia Guan is trying to memorize the Qin character Qin Yin."

Yingcheng is going crazy.

He had never been in Xianyang City where he spoke in a way that no one could understand.

When I was wandering around the Xianyang realm, I never found this problem.

When I was promoting the compound, when I was communicating with Zhang Liang, Chun Yuyue, and Lu Jia, I never found this problem.

Even when it was time to give gifts, he didn't notice the problem.

But.

What he didn't expect was this.

I saw such a serious communication problem here.

"I was only there on the first day when the gift was given, and although I was often around the propaganda compound, the people I could come into contact with were people like the leaders of the learned leaders, who were multilingual, but for the rest of the people, I didn't go, and these people were not qualified to see me, so they naturally ignored it."

Yingcheng sighed in his heart.

I kind of understand that in the central Fujian region, even if it is two neighboring villages, they don't know what each other means when they speak.

This is indeed an unbridgeable chasm!

Not all Confucianism, law students, and agricultural students are as good as Zhang Liang and Chun Yuyue.

Rapid.

On the paper, Yingcheng wrote concisely in the words of Chu, Yan, and Qi: "Can communication be overcome?"

Seeing this, the three propagandists' eyes lit up, and they stared at Yingcheng in great surprise, and one of them took a piece of paper and a small tube and wrote in the words of Chu Yanqi in the past:

"Back to the Great Law, we mainly use text communication."

"The Chinese dictionary is very easy to use, recording that the six languages corroborate each other, and the writing and communication are fine."

"At most three months, we will be able to communicate easily and without harm."

Yingcheng nodded, and finally had a little effective communication.

Immediately asked, "How do you perform the duties of a propagandist?"

The three of them hurriedly took out a few more pieces of paper from their arms.

It turned out to be a transcribed book of rites.

However, the pronunciation above is a transliterated version of the Yan script.

It's like when he was learning English.

Simply!

Infinite reverie.

"One sentence a day, we are learning, and the villagers are also learning, and the progress is slow!" The three of them quickly replied.

Yingcheng shook his head and wrote, "It's not a way to go on like this, you guys go back first, wait for the notice!"

Ineffective communication for deaf people without sign language!

Yingcheng didn't want to ask anymore.

And the anger that was originally prepared to be sent out also dissipated without a trace.

It's his fault that he really ignored this issue.

….

"Retire!" The three of them immediately wrote four words on the paper and showed them to Yingcheng, and then Shi Li left.

Yingcheng stared at the three of them leaving, and said with emotion: "How difficult it is for this road of unifying words and languages to extend to the road of unifying culture!"

said.

Ying Cheng quickly asked the Propaganda Department in a handwritten manner: "The languages are different, how should the Propaganda Department solve it?"

So far.

Yingcheng is not ready to return to Xianyang.

After inspecting Yongcheng, he also had to go to Huangxian County to inspect.

This is a common problem that exists in the entire Qin state.

It's easy to go from the top down, but it's harder to go from the bottom up than to the sky.

Plainly.

For Li Si, Feng Quji's strong advocates

The old ministers who abolished the division of feuds have changed their actions slightly.

However, for the emerging officials in recent years, most of their thinking is still in the stage of separation.

Unless there is any important matter that needs to be consulted by the imperial court, it will be submitted to the prime minister's office for instructions.

Something else.

All of them are conceited and smart in finding a way to solve it on their own, and they will never ask for advice if they can.

He'd found this problem more than once.

Even Lees does this a lot.

I am not afraid of being blamed by the First Emperor for doing something wrong, on the contrary, I am afraid that the First Emperor will think that I am incompetent.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

If he hadn't gone to Fuyongli today, he really didn't know that among the propagandists, there were still some people who couldn't communicate with the villagers at all.

"Textbook business, before the end of spring ploughing, I want to see the finished book!"

"Teacher's business, before the end of spring ploughing, must be prepared!"

"The construction of the school, before the end of the spring ploughing, there must be a result."

Yingcheng once again issued three orders in a row.

They urged the three directors of the Department of Education, the left director, and the right director.

Especially Si Zheng.

He didn't even know that this was the first order he had urged.

For now.

I want to correct the language.

Only the phonetic alphabet can be corrected quickly.

Besides.

There is no other way!

This heavy responsibility will be put on the head of the Department of Education and Education no matter what.

After the four urging orders were issued.

Yingcheng once again embarked on the road of inspection.

The township structure is the most reasonable layout structure under farming.

Country roads.

The fields are strange.

ditch bridges.

The construction of each road and bridge is in a reasonable position.

This is an artificially created path after a long period of farming.

Everyone was walking the most suitable road to their fields, and there were more people walking, and it became a country road.

These paths are truly accessible in all directions!

But.

One thing is very bad.

Yingcheng is lost!

"Don't worry, your subordinates will find their way!" Guo Huaiyi pursed his mouth, looking at the three paths in front of him that he didn't know where to lead, and he was also ignorant.

Especially.

The more you walk ahead, the more barren it becomes, and it is full of barren beaches and mountain beams, and you don't know where this is going.

Yingcheng suddenly shook his head and said, "No, look at me!"

said.

Yingcheng looked at the three roads in front of him that he didn't know where to lead, and started from the left and said, "Point the soldiers and generals, and whoever you want, you will go!"

….

"Go this way!"

Say it!

Yingcheng was stunned and chose the leftmost road.

He didn't know where the road leads.

Anyway, from the far left road, I can't see a field, about thirty miles away, there is a mountain beam.

Guo Huaiyi blinked his eyes and was speechless.

He was really afraid that at this time, a group of assassins would come.

That's really about mentality.

But.

It's not that he's careless.

Even he, a native of Guanzhong, was lost.

Unless someone is familiar with the terrain of Yongcheng, otherwise, the assassins will be stunned here.

Rapid.

Yingcheng galloped on a country road that didn't know where it led.

I also probably understand the situation here.

This is a wide mountain beam that spreads down from Qishan Mountain, in the form of a staircase.

This ridge is covered with firewood

Grass, the scientific name is Pengpeng grass, a kind of semicircle with a radius of half a foot to one foot, and a height of less than one foot in a semicircle.

Like normal plants, they begin to grow in summer, dry up in autumn, and gradually become more effective in autumn.

And this!

It is the main thing to make fires in each township, including cooking on fires, heating in winter, etc.

He was familiar with it.

In his previous life, when he was a child, he often went to the wilderness to dig this firewood and grass, and then loaded it into a truck and pulled it home to pile it up like a mountain, and relied on this firewood and grass to make a fire for cooking and heating all year round.

This kind of firewood and grass is endless!

No matter how you dig it, you can't dig it endlessly, and the tenacity of vitality can be called a perversion.

As long as there is precipitation, it will grow naturally on the barren mountains.

It's not grass seeds, though.

Grass seeds are a kind of wild grass called ash canopy, which is four or five times the size of this firewood grass, growing in the ground, needing a lot of water to nourish, and getting the ash canopy home to dry and hammer out is grass seed, when there is no food, it can fill the stomach, and when there is food, it is pig food.

The entire beam was flat on the river, and soon Yingcheng walked to the foot of the mountain.

is galloping on horseback.

Soon approaching the foot of Hengliang Mountain, Yingcheng saw a few passers-by.

Take a look.

It was a few villagers carrying heavy woven frames on their backs along the side of the road.

Seeing people, Yingcheng couldn't help but settle down in his heart, and couldn't help but stop and ask, "A few village elders, what kind of place is this?"

One of the rough-clothed men paused, looking at Yingcheng's outfit and a group of black-armored guards strangely, although Yingcheng was young, he still replied respectfully: "Go back to the official, Zhishan!"

"What kind of place is Shibayama?" Guo Huaiyi then asked.

"Well, this question can be regarded as in Chencang County, anyway, that's what I said a few days ago, saying that our Zhishan is under the jurisdiction of Chencang County." The rough-clothed man said indifferently, "Whatever, follow this road to Chencang."

When Chen Cang was mentioned, Yingcheng understood his current approximate geographical location.

It's kind of regaining direction.

But he came to make his rounds, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

The rough-clothed man looked at Yingcheng strangely, but felt that Yingcheng was like a fool and said, "Naturally, he is carrying grain to plant in the fields, what else can he do?"

….

Yingcheng frowned, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, looking at the huge basket on the backs of several people, which was a basket made of wild thorn grass, which was very large, almost about a stone.

I couldn't help but pick up a layer of wet cloth covering the basket.

It's full.

At least one hundred and twenty pounds.

"Why do you have to carry it, don't you pull the cart?" Yingcheng couldn't help but ask.

The rough-clothed man smiled indifferently, pointed to a place under the mountain beam in front of him, and said, "Li is leading people to plant at Baishui Beach."

"There are more than 100 acres of mountainous land over there, and we went to plant them."

"Just three stones and two pounds of wheat, pulling a cart is also walking, it is better to carry it lightly."

"Over there, two steps!" As he spoke, the man in rough clothes pointed to a path beside a large road, and further along the path, there was a valley, and the fields were in the valley.

Yingcheng frowned, beckoned, and let the two cavalrymen lead the horses to the side of several villagers, and said, "Give you a ride!"

When the rough-clothed man heard this, he looked at Yingcheng in surprise and asked, "Who is the official master, look at these soldiers you are carrying are black-armored guards, the status of the official master is definitely not low?"

Yingcheng laughed and said, "Can't go!"

The rough-clothed man suddenly said happily, "How can you not go, let the horses pull, who wants to carry this thing!"

"Thank you, Master Guan, Master Guan is really a good person!"

Yingcheng smiled, didn't answer and explain, and didn't do it himself, even if he did it himself, it was estimated that it would be impossible to even move the basket.

Don't be ashamed.

Can be fast.

Yingcheng saw what it means to be a rough man's mouth in two steps.

Seven or eight miles can be described as two steps!

My heart is also depressed.

That is to say, these four or five people have to carry 1,500 catties of grain on their backs and walk at least forty or fifty miles to farm.

And that's just the beginning.

Because the task of these people is to plant these 100 acres of land.

And this 100 acres of land is not as good as imagined.

It belongs to the valley wasteland!

There is no stable water source to rely on, and it is completely dependent on the sky to enjoy food.

The source of water is the accumulation of water formed by precipitation in the valley.

However, Yingcheng quickly became puzzled and asked in wonder, "You don't have a cocoon, you want to farm with your hands?"

When they arrived at the land, there were only four or five people, and the wood used for planting the land was not seen.

This made him wonder.

There should be no wood seeds, and that thing should be available in every household, and it is not uncommon to have it in the township.

"Wang Er, that dog baby, don't listen to people, as the saying goes, I'd rather walk ten miles of flat than one mile of wilderness, and let him go along the road and don't listen!" The rough-clothed man scolded and replied, "Where, when do you have to plant it by hand, if you don't plough the oxen, you won't be able to plant cocoons."

"The second brother of the Wang family came with a few young men carrying a cocoon on his back, and said that he should take the main road, and if he didn't listen, he had to go to the barren beach, and so on."

Yingcheng nodded suddenly, looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, and asked after a while, "Has collectivized agriculture been implemented in Zhishan?"

The rough-clothed man's name was Xu Shu, and Xu Shu immediately smiled and said, "Then sure, if you look at the fields in this ravine, there are forty-two pieces of land, scattered and scattered, this is the land of forty-two households, and that one is my family's."

….

"In the past, there were all kinds of things, but now, let's come together and finish planting this piece, isn't this what everyone planted together, what kind of collective agriculture."

Yingcheng nodded and asked, "How does that feel?"

Don't blame him for asking.

Because the whole collectivized agriculture is faced with this kind of group.

The Guanzhong Plain, the Jibei Plain, and the Chengdu Plain are the endless fields that account for only half, and most of them are still dominated by this kind of scattered fields.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not return to Xianyang and wander around.

It was Xu Shu who smiled with emotion: "Haha, this is something to say, we are not afraid of offending anyone, no matter what your purpose is, master, we have to praise the prison country is still very good."

Yingcheng asked, "What do you say?"

Xu Shu got up with a smile, pointed to the fields in the valley and said, "Although I only have one acre and three points of land here, I can plant it in less than a day."

"But no matter what, it's just one day, come out of the house early, go back at noon, go home to fill your stomach, and you have to continue to go a little farther away from other places and you can't go, it's a waste of time to go back and forth, and you can't plant much land, how can you calculate it, it's all a day."

"Now, we'll come here with all the grain on our backs, and we'll plant it all in one day, so we don't have to run anywhere else."

"Of course, it must be bothering about our own fields, and we don't fully agree with it, but for the sake of the three-year exemption from land tax, we can plant together."

"This imperial decree is down, the requisition of those who should be conscripted, and those who should be drawn into the army have to enlist in the army, and we can't stop it."

"I just hope that the court won't mess with us, like last year, we levied two field taxes a year, and finally the harvest was good, but it was also expropriated, and we could have eaten noodles and rice at once, but we could only drink porridge."

"I don't know if we can make it to this year's harvest!"

"There's no way to be young, you have to live what you deserve, you have to live what you deserve."

Yingcheng sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, as long as collectivized agriculture is carried out this year, the imperial court will never collect the land endowment!"

Listening to Yingcheng's affirmative tone, Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder

Said: "Who are you, you can influence the imperial decree, this imperial decree is not also stipulated to be collected only once, but over the years, it has been levied once in the twenty-ninth year, and twice a year in the last three years."

"It's one thing to say, it's another thing to do."

"Huh!" Yingcheng smiled and said, "Not this year, if the imperial court collects the land tax of collectivized agriculture this year, you will go to Xianyang to complain, and if it is not good, it will create a rebellion against the Qin State."

"Let those wine bags and rice bags in the court look at you, and you are also angry when they oppress you unscrupulously."

"The anger of the good people of my world is enough to turn the world upside down, and the Qin State is a fart!"

When Yingcheng said this, Xu Shu frowned and walked away from Yingcheng, and said with a refusal: "Who are you, look at you and look like an official of the imperial court, how can there be a person like you in this court, seeing that you are kind enough to help us, I won't care about you."

"It's better to say less like this, no matter how bad our Qin State is, no one has ever starved to death."

"I remember more than ten years ago, twenty years ago, there was a drought in Guanzhong, and the Weishui dropped seven feet, and we didn't even have 30% of the harvest in Zhishan in previous years.

"Everyone shrunk down and went on a diet and lived on corn grass seed porridge every day for a full year."

"There was still a war that year, and His Majesty was still fighting the Koreans, but so what, this is the ambition of our Qin people to defeat the Six Kingdoms and unify the world."

Yingcheng's heart shook.

I couldn't help but get up and bow deeply, "Sir, great wisdom!"

Xu Shu looked at Yingcheng and said: "What great wisdom, if you don't know one of the big characters, you can go to the battlefield to kill one or two, but it's a pity, we are the third in the family, and it is not our turn to go to the battlefield, I hate to be able to slash the people of the Six Kingdoms, it is a pity!"

Saying that, Xu Shu paused, and said with a little complaint: "Hmph, if you want us to say, Your Majesty should kill all the people of the Six Kingdoms, leave the land and move our Qin people over, let's just go farming."

"Look at that, Xianyang has given so many people from the Six Kingdoms over the years, and they have been given land, and we will not be angry when we mention this, my eldest brother Xu Fang, conscripted into the army, beheaded seventeen people, and the eldest doctor, although he died in Chen Ying, but the title of Shiyi and Tianyi should be inherited by us, but my eldest brother's two hundred and fifty acres of land has not even heard from him, needless to say, especially when he saw that those people from the Six Kingdoms were actually assigned to the fields, he was angry!"

The years are like dreams
