Chapter 39: Qin Traitor, Dasuo Surabaya County!
Qin Shi Huang sat in the hall.
Eating piping hot glutinous rice cakes, quite satisfied.
When he was young, he was confined to Zhao, so his life was not good, and it was not easy to eat sweets. Once, he sneaked to dig out the honeycomb, and if it wasn't for his mother to save him, he was afraid that he would be stung all over his head.
"This starch candy seems to have a smell, and it should be made from it."
"It's really ingenious."
Qin Shi Huang picked up the bean rice and chewed it slowly.
Wang Jian whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, this Cao Xiu is indeed not simple. The Quyuan plough made today can be called a sharp tool for rejuvenating agriculture. The old minister remembered that his silk silk was three inches thick! ”
"In addition to the quyuan plow, there are also columbs, waterwheels, and other things." Qin Shi Huang paused and continued: "The other is the "Cao Xiushu" written by him, if it is according to his words, it will be a strange book for the ages, and it will have a great contribution to Sheji. Unfortunately, he was too lazy after all. ”
"It's simple, the old minister will spur him tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, old lady."
Qin Shi Huang put down the pottery bowl and laughed.
"I remembered the story that Han Fei had written in the past, and he said: There are birds in the south, three years without wings, no flying and no singing, hey and silent, what is the name?"
"If you don't have wings for three years, you will have long wings; If you don't fly or roar, you will watch the people. Although there is no flight, the flight will soar into the sky; Although there is no sound, the sound will be amazing. Therefore, it is said: Late bloomer, big sound! ”
Wang Jian replied fluently, and then smiled.
"The same is true for Cao Xiu."
"Getting this virtuous minister is not worth the hardships I have endured these days. Moreover, I think this identity is very good. Qin Shi Huang said with emotion: "Every time I go out on patrol, I will notify the county in advance. Those officials are all preparing in a hurry, and it seems that the officials are clean and clear, but they are actually filthy everywhere. Now that I am walking in the people, I can see it more clearly! ”
"What Your Majesty said is very true!"
Some things have to be seen with your own eyes to know.
This time he was exiled to the people, which benefited him a lot!
Qin Shi Huang was confident that when he returned to Xianyang, the world would be more peaceful. At that time, the head of Qiantou was peaceful, and there was no need for military revolution. Six relatives protect each other, and there will be no thieves in the end. Teach and know the French style!
……
……
In the face of Xiao He's praise, Cao Xiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He had actually thought about it a long time ago, and he knew that as a time-traveler, it would be easy to change history. For example, the fate of the future Emperor Liu Ji of the Han Dynasty was actually changed by him. The current Surabaya Pavilion Chief is him, not Liu Ji.
He also told Zhao Xie in advance that he must have to do something when he entered the Qin court, and he couldn't be blamed for anything wrong when the time came. When he took out the Quyuan plow, Ah Zheng actually suspected him, but he was just fooled.
After all, it's just a child, and it doesn't take much effort to fool around.
What Cao Xiu thought was that he would bet on both ends anyway, if he really renewed his life for the Qin State, then he would continue to be Meizizi as his minister. Moreover, the initiative for all this is in his hands!
"Look at you like this, did you think of it a long time ago?"
"Ahem......"
Cao Xiu touched her nose in embarrassment.
"I'll just say that Xiu'er thinks it more thoroughly." Xiao He smiled faintly, raised the wine bottle and said: "This time the Quyuan plough has been presented, and with this merit, Xiu'er will definitely be able to increase the official rank." At the very least, I'm a countryman, as far as I can imagine. ”
"It's still not enough, at least it has to be a county official."
"Take your time......"
Cao Xiu opened his mouth with a little weakness.
He knew it was a path of no return, but he didn't have a choice.
"As for that one, is it really the son of Dai Wang Jia?"
"That's right." Cao Xiu spread out his hands, "If Zhao Xie can admit his mistake, I have nothing to say." Moreover, Ah Zheng answered fluently, and he knew the inside story of many things clearly, and his accent was also sandwiched between Handan and Guanzhong. ”
Xiao He stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.
"Zhao Xie's move is ruthless enough. Obviously, those two people are here to spy on you and prevent you from betraying them and really becoming officials in Qin. Anyone can see this, but Zhao Xie doesn't care. If you really kill these two people one day, he will be able to secure the position of the head of the Julu Zhao clan. ”
Some people can even ignore their parents for money. Now for the sake of power, what is it to abandon his wife and son, kill his father and kill his brother? Don't say that Ah is Zhao Xie's nephew, that is, his own flesh and blood are blocking his path to power, and Zhao Xie will also kill him.
"These people should not be underestimated."
"They're using me, why shouldn't I?"
Cao Xiu waved his hand indifferently.
Ah Zheng's ability is outstanding, and he can help him do a lot of things.
As for surveillance?
He didn't care.
Because everything he did could be explained as climbing up. After all, Zhao Xie had mentioned when he discussed with him that it was best for him to become a courtier of the Qin State, and it would be better if he could participate in the decision-making of the Qin State.
If you don't have some real skills, how can you add officials to the knighthood?
The so-called surveillance is purely superfluous.
"Also, I've got some news." Xiao He looked around left and right, and said in a low voice: "Then what Qin Jia said is true, the First Emperor was indeed assassinated. It is said that it was done by the old Qi nobles, but the whereabouts of the assassin are still unknown. Originally in Langya County, he later fled to Donghai County. Because the Tobu County Commander colluded with it, he was killed. ”
"I've heard about that, too."
Cao Xiu nodded in agreement.
Not only what Qin Jia said, but also businessmen who came and went. In short, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and some people say that the old Qi Tian clan wants to be restored, so they assassinate the first emperor at any cost. There are also rumors that the Assassins scuttled the dragon boat and that the First Emperor was almost drowned......
"That's not all." Xiao He shook his head, "Since yesterday, Surabaya County has been under martial law. Travel at all checkpoints needs to be strictly checked, and idle people are not allowed to go out of the city. It is believed that the assassin fled to Surabaya County, and then he will make a big claim to Surabaya County. ”
"Hiss......"
Cao Xiu suddenly gasped.
He vaguely remembered that there was such a passage in the history books.
[Guanzhong Dasuo 20 days, rice stone thousand six hundred! ] 】
The price of one stone of rice has risen to 1,600 yuan!
What is this concept?
That's almost fifty times over!
In fact, the price of rice in Guanzhong has always been relatively stable, and it is normally about 30 yuan per stone. For example, glutinous rice is definitely more expensive, and glutinous rice is cheaper, but the difference is not an exaggeration. Now Dasuo Surabaya County is bound to make the prices of Surabaya County soar, especially food!
Bang!
Cao Xiu stood up abruptly.
"What's wrong with Xiu'er?"
"Could it be that the assassin really has something to do with you?"
"No, no, no, I'm thinking that food prices are definitely going to skyrocket." Cao Xiu waved his hand again and again: "There are still a lot of old rice in my warehouse, so I have to prepare quickly." ”
“???”
Cao Shen glared and almost vomited blood. They discussed such an important matter, Cao Xiu actually wanted to do business, you kid is in the eyes of money? !
