Chapter 150: Li Si, Zhao Si, and the trio of Emperor Sishi

When Li Si took over the responsibility of moving the noble order, when the first emperor had a little guy named Zhao Si by his side, the relationship between him and the first emperor seemed to have eased somewhat.

Li Si glanced at the First Emperor, who was bowing his head to deal with government affairs, and looked at Zhao Si with a slight smile on his face.

"Of course, this is for the good of the people." Zhao Si nodded in the face of Li Si's inquiry.

Sending new grain to the localities and lowering the price of salt is a real benefit to the people.

"But it's not enough." Zhao Si said seriously.

"The road is long and obstructive, the Huns Donghu Yue clan has hit a wall, and there is always a one, and it is difficult for Baiyue to draw manpower." Lees shook his head.

"When I mentioned the issue of government officials before, I was worried about one thing." Li Si touched his beautiful hair and spoke.

"The three kinds of immortal grain yield 1,000 catties per mu, and the ups and downs are in the trouble, and Daqin allocates grain to the place, I'm afraid that most of this kind of grain is extremely difficult to fall into the hands of Li Shu." Li Si groaned and spoke.

"The truth is this truth, at present, there is only a promotion and assessment of grain varieties in various places, but the aristocratic species are also species, and the Li Shu species are also species, this kind of seed is indeed difficult to fall into the hands of the head of Qian, and the first grain seed will definitely not be the turn of the head of Qian, but Li Xiang does not need to worry." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.

"What's the explanation?" Lees asked.

"The aristocracy is profitable, but the yield of fairy grain per mu is as high as 1,000 catties, so a swarm of bees poured in, trying every means to plant the fairy grain first, but these three kinds of grain Li Xiang should also know that sweet potatoes have been flatulent for a long time, potatoes sprout poisonous, and only corn can barely be used as a staple food, but if it is finely milled, the taste is still not as good as wheat and rice chestnuts, these three kinds of grain, is the life-saving food of Qianshou, but it may not be the favorite of the nobles, although it can survive, but it is not good to sell at any price.

Whether the nobles robbed the first batch of grain, they faced with the three kinds of immortal grain, they would inevitably take care of it carefully, the cultivation was more meticulous, the care was more proper, the irrigation and watering were more convenient, and the head of the Qianshou was busy with his livelihood, these are things that Li Shu could not do for the time being, so that the output of the first batch of grain seeds would be higher after the popularization of the place. ”

"After they grow it, they will find that the immortal grain they are chasing is not so magical, and it can't be sold at any price, and in the end it will fall into the hands of the head of Qian, and the local government only needs to do a good job of supervision when the grain is harvested, and the nobles are not allowed to hoard goods, and they are not allowed to sell grain at a high price."

"As for saying that someone took the opportunity to smuggle three kinds of new grain to the Rong Di barbarians, this is also something I can't ask for, Daqin's military strength is undoubted, the bitterness is that there is raw land everywhere, no one develops and cultivates, these three new grains can adapt to a lot of climate growth, and when they will plant the raw land maturely, it will not be too late for Daqin to take out his hand and take care of them." Zhao Si smiled.

Li Si nodded in agreement, although Great Qin has all kinds of problems, but the combat effectiveness of Great Qin's army is absolutely undeniable.

Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and in the face of the barbarian Rong Di in all directions, he could no longer meet opponents, whether it was the Xiongnu or Baiyue, even with the Dongyi filthy people, they were basically crushed.

The problem is that it is expanding outward, the climate is severe, the land is not developed, the terrain is complex, and all of it is raw land.

Jiujiang Xiang County in the south and Hetao area in the north are still the land that Daqin made a decision after much deliberation and discussion, and thought it was worth spending a lot of effort to take the land.

Take it down, you have to develop, you have to settle, you have to farm the land, you have to build roads, you have to build a city, now it is not a scuffle of the seven countries, and every piece of land that has been taken down has ready-made cities and developed arable land, and even roads and ditches.

In the past, as long as the battle damage was not too much, it was always earned, but now every step of expansion is pasting money.

Military spending, food and grass for people to eat and horses, infrastructure, immigration......

If the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn really fall into the hands of those barbarian Rong Di, they can exert their subjective motivation to plant the land, from fishing, hunting and nomadism to farming, and then they will naturally form a settlement mode, and if there is no external crisis, after settling, they will begin to build cities, pave roads, form an agricultural civilization, and form a unified government.

But is this because in the absence of external crises, can Great Qin still wait for them to form an agrarian civilization and a unified regime?

When they began to settle down, the raw land turned into ripe land, and after building roads and gathering places, it was time for Great Qin to pick fruits, which would save Great Qin's effort and cost in vain.

"That's a good thing." Lees shook his head and smiled.

After that, Li Si continued to ponder his own path and began his journey to enlightenment, while Zhao Si continued to complete the initial plan of the relocation order.

"It's shallow on paper! If you want to relocate the aristocracy, just rely on the chronicles of various places, I am afraid that there will be a lot of omissions! "Zhao Si did make a difficulty.

The relocation of nobles is a big project, and it is difficult to distinguish and choose who should be moved.

Potential, fame, wealth, but who is powerful and who is famous? Who has money?

Is it just relying on the twists and turns presented by the local government? Do you rely solely on local history?

Obviously, this is far from enough, either Daqin will form a group of officials who will go deep into the local area to conduct an inventory, or they will go down in person.

Zhao Si himself was almost completely ignorant of the local situation in Daqin, he was not a person of this era at all, how could he know which place and which family was strong and prosperous, and should be included in the criteria for migration?

Just the selection of quotas is a great project for Zhao Si, even with the assistance of Li Si, it is not easy.

And not only that, if you want to open a knife on the nobles, you must relax on the head of the Qian, and it is extremely unwise to directly attack the nobles without letting go of the mouth of taxation and servitude.

The resentment and resentment of the people in Daqin have accumulated to a certain extent, not all of them are the beneficiaries of the military merit, and the beneficiaries of the military merit are only hundreds of thousands, but there are tens of millions of Qianshou who have been persecuted by the five arts of the people.

Not to mention the persecution of the head of Qiantou after the Great Qin unified the world, after the distortion of the local aristocracy and various riotous operations.

There are some policies that Daqin did not target Qianshou.

For example, the unification of currency and weights and measures, but in the end it was the nobility that implemented the place, and there were too many hands and feet that could be used by currency and weights and measures, and in the end, this popular resentment would also fall on the head of Daqin.

"Thanks to the First Emperor, ...... alive," Zhao Si sighed.

Since taking over the important task of moving the Gui Ling, whether it was forced or active, Zhao Si had a deeper understanding of Daqin's situation, and he was able to realize what kind of dire situation Daqin had reached now.

Great Qin is still able to stand tall now, and even suppress the world, all by the prestige of the First Emperor alone.

Today's Great Qin has really reached the point of being at the end of the crossbow.

However, if the new monarch succeeds to the throne and the policy is not adjusted, within two years, there will be trouble.

And if you are not careful, it will be a rebellion in the country.

"The current Great Qin...... It only lowered the price of salt and distributed new grain, but it will take at least one or two years for the three new grains to be popularized to all households, and the decline in salt prices can benefit the people's livelihood, but compared with the current backlog of public resentment and grievances, it is still too little and too little! Zhao Si muttered to himself.

The current Daqin genuinely gives the people only these two points, and three of the new grains are still not eaten by the people for a while.

In such a high-pressure situation, the relocation order is pressed by the first emperor, and it will also cause great turmoil.

Filled with the resentment of the people, the nobles don't even need to be intentionally guided, they will become a huge wave that swept through Great Qin.

Great Qin may be able to suppress them, but the final result is also a defeat for both sides.

"If you want to be good to the people, if you want to let the Qianshou and the nobles part ways, you have to implement it, this tax and servitude must be reduced!"

With the preparation and tidying, the morning passed quickly.

Zhao Si glanced at the sky and went to prepare the lunch meal with ease.

Serves three.

Li Si also followed him to dine in the palace.

Li Si's body is okay, relatively healthy, and his body is relatively well-proportioned, so he doesn't need to lose weight.

But who told Lees to go to work with him? So Li Si, who was in good health in his forties, also became the sparring partner of the first emperor.

I have to run and exercise every morning, and the meals are also nutritionally balanced special meals, except for the taste that is difficult to swallow, there are no drawbacks.

In front of the first emperor, do you treat everyone equally......

In a few moments, the meal was served......

Zhao Si carried a food box in each of his left and right hands, put the food on the table, and after saluting Emperor Li Sishi, he started the meal.

"How's the relocation order doing? When will it be implemented? The First Emperor asked expressionlessly, chewing on today's pig food.

The taste of this diet meal is bland to the extreme, but fortunately, the First Emperor has now slowly gotten used to it, and his body is indeed visibly improving with the naked eye.

Especially since this month......

Since a month ago, the First Emperor collapsed after a night of indulgence and returned to a state of abstinence.

Zhao Si re-established a higher-intensity exercise program and a new diet for the First Emperor.

The first emperor's physical fitness increased visibly, and his weight also decreased visibly.

Now walking, sitting and lying down, I have strength, and my body is not as weak as before, and I have a big belly.

Right now, the big belly of the First Emperor has visibly turned into a small belly. Even the fat on his face has lost a little, the original twilight color has disappeared slightly, the edges and corners have become more distinct, and they have become much sharper.

"It's not easy to do...... The list of emigrated nobles is bound to be flawed by local chronicles and local chronicles alone. Zhao Si shook his head.

"And now in Daqin, I'm afraid there is no room to implement the relocation order."

The First Emperor raised his head and looked at Zhao Si with a frown.

"The forced labor is not gone, the taxes are not reduced, and the lower price of salt, and the new grain that has not yet fallen into the hands, is indeed a little insufficient."

Li Si chewed the unpalatable food in his mouth with an ugly face, sighed, and added a sentence for Zhao Si.
