"Your Highness, the lack of food in the county has been spread, and now people outside are panicking, many people are worried that the government will stop the charity hall and urge the repayment of the borrowed food, and even some people in the army are unstable......"

Even if he already knew about the arrangement of the emperor's eldest grandson, the stakes were very high, and if he was not careful, it would lead to a big mistake, Li You still couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Not to mention that during this period of time, the Charity Hall was fully launched, the Qingmiao Law was implemented, and a large amount of grain flowed out of the treasury, just the more than 3,000 people he brought out from Xianyang, people ate horses and chewed, and they started from tens of thousands of catties every day.

With the family foundation that Huiji County was barely maintaining, how could it withstand this level of continuous consumption?

can last for so many days, it is all because Zhao Ying has the right to act cheaply, so that people can directly use military rations.

As Li You said at the beginning, once the Charity Hall was fully operational, it would be difficult to maintain the food of Huiji County itself, and now the food of the County Guard Mansion has entered an extremely dangerous value.

Zhao Ying nodded slightly.

"Alright, it's almost time for the fire, let's make an announcement that salt will be introduced in exchange for stored grain......"

Speaking of this, seeing that Li You was still hesitating there, knowing that he was still worried about whether he could do the master in this matter, and whether the court would blame, he couldn't help but smile, and casually took out an official document from the several cases in front of him and handed it to Li You.

"You don't have to worry, I have already informed Your Majesty of this matter, this is an official letter sent by his old man a few days ago, you can take a look......"

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

Li You said it, but he took it honestly with both hands, took a look, and saw that it was undoubtedly covered with the seal of the first emperor, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, the minister will go down and arrange ......"

……

Following the Charity Hall, the Seedlings Law, and the encouragement of local clans to build their own ditches in accordance with the planning of the imperial court, another more explosive news caused a stir in the entire Huiji.

"What are you talking about, the imperial court allows the rich merchants of the Ji County clan to exchange grain for salt!"

Scholars' Study.

The head of the family, Zhu Zhang, got up a little forgetful and looked at the elder Zhu Tong, who was specially responsible for staring at the announcement in front of the county guard.

Zhu Tong nodded vigorously, took out a page of paper from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands.

Since the invention of Huangsun paper, this cheap and convenient paper has quickly become popular everywhere, replacing the original bamboo and wooden tablets at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although many large households are resistant to this novelty, and insist on using bamboo slips on formal occasions and when recording some more important documents, such as land deeds, this does not affect their use of this kind of "Huangsun paper" that does not look very strong in their daily life.

"The villain is afraid that he will not learn clearly and delay the family's major affairs, so he just copied it word by word against the announcement......"

Zhu Zhang nodded approvingly.

Zhutong has been able to be by his side all these years, because of his rigorous and meticulous temperament, which makes people feel at ease.

The Zhujia family can become the largest family in Zhuji County, in addition to the ancestral relationship with the Chu royal family, it is because under his hands, he has several salt farms with considerable output!

Over the years, although Daqin has implemented a strict salt and iron monopoly system, as long as there are high profits, some people dare to take risks.

What's more, Huiji County is a place like the Emperor Far Away?

As long as Yin Tong and Long Ze turn a blind eye, the salt and iron monopoly is equivalent to a dead letter, in this context, the local wealthy family, who does not have a little private salt business?

Among them, the families are the most.

This situation was not until Gongzi transferred Lu to the lieutenant of Huiji County, and was responsible for the arrest and commander of Huiji County, and this atmosphere was slightly restricted. But instead of disappearing, it has become more secretive.

But selling illicit salt is a big deal to lose your head, who might as well walk on thin ice?

is even mentally prepared to survive with a broken tail.

Many people, who supported Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew at the beginning, secretly colluded with bandits, and did this in case. Once pursued by the government, he escaped into the mountains and forests and took refuge in the mountain bandits who were secretly funded at the beginning.

And the names of these people will no longer appear in the family.

Originally, this was an unsolvable dilemma, but now the emperor's eldest grandson's official document has turned things around.

That is to take down the salt lead, take enough salt lead, take enough salt from the official salt farm every year, and your own private salt can be transformed into an official label!

After reading it, Zhu Zhang immediately summoned the elders of the clan and photographed this official document related to the future and fate of the family in front of them.

"Now, I ask you to immediately mobilize all the funds that the family can mobilize, and you must take these salt introductions at all costs, at least thirty percent, or even fifty percent, of these salt introductions!"

"No!"

Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately got up and went out to prepare.

Although the families have a large family and many industries, it is not easy to raise enough food in a short period of time, especially in this situation, and it is even more difficult for the families to give in to each other.

It can only be that whoever starts early will be stained.

Now it's up to you to react.

……

"The head of the family, relying on our Long family's own grain alone, I'm afraid we won't get much share, we must act immediately, go to the city to find those family owners who are more closely related, and seconded some temporarily, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late......"

The Long Family.

An old man with a round figure couldn't wait to stand up.

"The head of the family, I still have some friendship with the Xu family, the Lu family, the Zhou family, and the Wu family, so it's better to let the old man come forward in person and ask for a ......favor."

Long Li nodded.

"Yes, but don't have too much hope for Uncle Seven, the opportunity is current, no one would want to intervene, the Xu family, the Lu family, the Zhou family and the Wu family, the reason why they were attached to us before was that they didn't have a salt field - now that they have the opportunity, how can they give up ......"

Speaking of this, Long Li's eyes froze.

"We have to focus on the countryside. Except for the seventh uncle, everyone else immediately mobilized all the funds that could be mobilized in the family, went to the countryside, went overnight, went to those small local families to collect grain, the price can be given a little higher, don't be stingy with some money, as long as the salt introduction is done, how much money will be earned back in the future......"

"No!"

Long Li's prestige in the Long family is very heavy, and when he gave this order, even the seventh uncle, who took the initiative to ask for orders just now and wanted to go to the Xu family, the Wu family and other families to borrow grain, pondered at the door, and turned around and went to the countryside.

He understood very well that Long Li was right, the emperor's eldest grandson's official document had fallen into the lake like a boulder, which would inevitably cause a burst of open and secret fighting among the major families in Huiji County.

Similar scenes are staged in major families from time to time, and those who feel that they have the ability to get a piece of the pie in this matter are all riveted to their spirits.

Even the Yu family is no exception.

The only exception was that the Yu family had a dispute over who would buy and mobilize grain, and they tossed around for an afternoon, and when they were barely decided, it was already the night of the same day.

Yu Rang pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

"Let's disperse, third uncle, remember to leave as soon as possible tomorrow, don't be stingy with money, if you can collect an extra one, you can collect an extra one, at this stage, nothing is as important as food, as long as the food can be collected, how much money is spent, it is a trivial matter......"

Yu Song nodded a little perfunctorily.

"Don't worry, the old man has lived a long time, I will take care of this truth......"

Yu Song said this, and Yu Rang could only choose to believe it, otherwise he didn't know when he would have to fight for a conclusion. I only hope that my third uncle, at a critical time, can really stand up to it, and don't make any mistakes.

As a result, Yu Song, who won another game in the confrontation with the head of the family, Yu Song, was in a good mood, and stayed in the two-room concubine's room that night and celebrated all night-

When I woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the morning.

When he went out, he saw that several stewards in the family were already waiting outside with an anxious face, and a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but then he straightened his face and scolded with an unhappy expression.

"How do I teach you on weekdays, every time there is a big event, you must have calm, you can't sit still - the old man is actually deliberately testing you today, to see who can stabilize your mind, and the result is ......"

Yu Song shook his head while quietly rubbing his sore old waist.

This style made the steward, who was originally waiting a little impetuous, feel like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he was instantly deflated.

"What the third uncle taught me is that it was our fault ......"

"Third uncle, you have good intentions......"

“……”

Seeing that everyone had admitted their mistakes, Yu Song nodded with satisfaction.

"It's not bad, if you know that you are wrong, you can change it, and it is not in vain that the old man will teach you......"

By the time Yu Song finished washing, ate breakfast, sat in the carriage, and left Yu's house, most of the time had passed. Yu Rang, who personally supervised the construction of the ditch on the construction site, was so angry that his eyes turned black after hearing the news.

But he could only take a deep breath and barely stabilize his emotions.

The Yu family finally stabilized, and they could build the ditch with peace of mind, and they must not have any conflict with the third room because of this matter, otherwise once the third room was completely picked, he would really not be able to explain to His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun.

For these disturbances from the outside world, it was expected, and Zhao Ying did not pay attention to it.

Because for Huiji County, there are far more pressing issues that need to be dealt with.

Huiji County, the county soldier camp.

Zhao Ying's arrival made this big camp boil instantly.

Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor's eldest grandson is a benevolent and loving young man, very smart, and very good at fighting, but for these veterans who have experienced the strife of the six countries and come out of the sea of swords and corpses, His Royal Highness the emperor is an invincible god!

Therefore, when Zhao Ying appeared on the military academy field, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis suddenly sounded below.

"Your Highness wins, Your Highness wins!"

looked at Zhao Ying's eyes one by one with feverishness.

Zhao Ying smiled and bowed his head, then stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, and the audience was instantly silent.

Seeing this scene, the son who followed behind Zhao Ying, Jiang Lu, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows secretly.

He had never felt so intuitively the prestige of his eldest nephew in the army!

In a trance, he couldn't connect the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of him, who was tall and standing there, like an abyss, and an unparalleled momentum, with the eldest nephew who looked smiling and smiling in front of him, spoke cordially and casually, and said that he would be called the third uncle.

He looked at Zhao Ying's back, and he didn't know why, but suddenly remembered his own Ah Weng who was true to his words and said everything.

"It's like—"

He suddenly understood why his own Ah Weng would favor this eldest nephew.

In some ways, the two are really similar.

In addition to being easier to get closer to than his own Ah Weng, between the two, it is very similar!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all heroes of my Great Qin, you have all made great achievements on the battlefield, and you have all made outstanding contributions to stabilizing the situation of Huiji, please allow me, on behalf of the imperial court and Your Majesty, to express my most sincere thanks to you! Thank you—"

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng—"

Zhao Ying's words made the eyes of these men who had fought many times on the battlefield red.

In this era, how have they ever heard such heart-warming words?

Especially these words, they still came from the mouth of the emperor's eldest grandson.

From the mouth of the god of war of Great Qin!

This is the recognition of the hero, the recognition of the god of war.

When everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, Zhao Ying looked around at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the world.

"I'm here today, in addition to wanting to come and see you, I actually have another question, I want to ask you, why do we want to be soldiers......

"Quell the war, benefit the people of Li, be loyal to Your Majesty, and protect Daqin!"

These are all standard answers on "Casting the Soul of the Soldier", they are urged to study more times on weekdays, and when the emperor asks this, he naturally blurts out.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you are all the elite men of my Great Qin, and you are the real tigers, however, if we are unified today, and the swords and soldiers are in the warehouse, we have almost nothing to do except for the occasional pursuit of some mountain bandits and rogues who are not in the climate......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's words changed.

"Soldiers, we are all heroes who have come down from the battlefield, but today there is no place for heroes, isn't it a pity?"

This sentence made everyone silent.

That's right, there is no place for heroes!

What are they soldiers for?

Perhaps, they can't really understand the rhetoric on "Casting the Soul of the Soldier", but they have a very simple idea, that is, to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, kill the enemy and become a knight, divide the fields and be exempted from military service, and change the fate of the family!

However, today I am trapped in this meeting, and I don't even have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, what is the point of being a soldier?

"Your Highness, the plan will be ......"

In the audience, I don't know who it was, suddenly shouted such a sentence, Zhao Ying's eyes flashed, and he saw a man in his thirties in the crowd, and couldn't help but nod at him slightly, and said with a smile.

"Have you ever thought that when we are soldiers, we want to serve the court, and if we want to make meritorious contributions, we don't necessarily need the sword on our waists, and we don't necessarily need the Changge ...... in our hands" (end of this chapter)
