Silence all around.

Fusu and the others were silent.

They don't know much about the development of the Qin people, but after Ji Heng's peeling off the cocoon, they also deeply understand the difficulty of the Qin people's development.

Ji Heng wrote down the relevant information.

Before the Qin state, historical materials were very scarce.

After the founding of the state, the Qin state already had a special historian record, but just as the Zhou people deliberately concealed the information of the merchants, the Qin historians also downplayed the influence of the Zhou people, but it is undeniable that the empty check issued by King Zhou Ping to the Qin state was very tempting.

That's the place where the Zhou people made their fortune, Zong Zhou.

It also had the most advanced production technology in the world at that time.

And all this, with King Zhou Ping's fluttering promise, all of them were given to the Qin people, although Zong Zhou was indeed occupied by the Rong people at that time, but the Zhou people of Zong Zhou have been struggling to resist, and King Zhou Ping has even directly abandoned the Zhou people who support the Zhou Dynasty the most.

It's really a cub who sells Ye Tian and doesn't feel distressed.

When the Qin people were in the west, they were almost still in a state of semi-nomadic and semi-farming, and it was not until later that they recaptured the old land of Zongzhou and relied on the production technology left by Zongzhou to officially transform into an agricultural country, and since then the real Great Qin has begun.

All this is due to King Zhou Ping.

Come to think of this.

Ji Heng suddenly remembered a sentence in his mind, of course, the fate of an individual must rely on self-struggle, and the course of history must also be taken into account at that time.

When Qin Xianggong first succeeded to the throne, it can be described as internal and external difficulties, not only by Xirong consecutive defeats, but also by the Zhou people constantly ostracized, he probably never imagined at that time, how did he become the founding king of Qin, the tiger and wolf of Qin, who later swept the six countries.

Fusu frowned slightly.

He pondered in his mind.

After listening to Ji Heng's words, he remembered a few words from "Mrs. Zheng Wu's Rules".

"My monarch is in great distress and has been in the guard for three years."

"I don't see his state, I don't see his room."

"If there are no good ministers, there will be no king for three years."

"The Bang family is in chaos."

After the Shenhou Dog Rong Rebellion, Zheng Guojun, who guarded the Zhou royal family, Zheng Huan Gong suffered a catastrophe and was killed by the Dog Rong, and Zheng Wugong did not immediately return to China to succeed to the throne after the death of Zheng Huan Gong, but stayed in Weiguo for three years, and Wei Wugong, the then Wei Guojun, was a staunch supporter of King Zhou Ping.

It is not difficult to conclude that Zheng Wugong was probably threatened back then, so that he finally fell to King Zhou Ping.

The Gongwei forces of the Zhou royal family have always been Zheng Guo and Yu Guo, and with Zheng Guo's defection, King Zhou, who was originally orthodox, directly broke an arm, and it was difficult to resist King Zhou Ping.

Zheng Wu's guard may have been just the tip of the iceberg at that time.

In the decades when the two kings of King Zhou and King Zhou Ping stood side by side, the world probably went through a series of thrilling, cruel and bloody political games, and finally King Zhou Ping had the last laugh, won the approval of all the princes, and killed King Zhou Xi, who represented orthodoxy, but also directly led to the loss of the prestige of the Zhou royal family.

In this political game, the Qin people undoubtedly profited a lot.

Not only was he ranked among the princes, but he also received a promise that as long as the Qin people could expel Xirong, then Qishan, which was occupied by Xirong, would be owned by the Qin people.

Regardless of the truth of the final history, the blood and tears shed by the Qin people in the past three hundred years were finally recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty and officially stepped onto the stage of history as a new vassal state.

Looking back on the past of the founding of the Qin people.

Fusu couldn't help but sigh, it was not easy for Great Qin to build a country.

After experiencing the severance of the surname and being completely blocked from the Central Plains, the Qin people did not give up, and have been trying to return to the Central Plains, and after almost twists and turns, and even several encounters with calculations, they finally seized the opportunity when the prestige of the Zhou royal family was in decline, and returned to the vision of the people of the world.

Fusu got up, saluted Zhai You, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. for filling in the historical materials for us." ”

"Bo Qin, thank you."

Zhai You got up and saluted: "The official is serious, my Zhai family was originally the clan, and now the imperial court has the intention to record the history of Qin, I should teach it to me, but my Zhai family does not know much, and after the founding of Xianggong, the capital moved to Wangyi, and my Zhai family did not follow the past, so I know little about the follow-up." ”

"I really don't dare to speak again, and I ask the officials to forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Fusu said with a smile: "What Mr. said is very useful for us to repair historical materials, how dare we covet more?" ”

Forthwith.

Fusu paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "I don't know what Mr. thinks of Daqin right now?" ”

A word fell.

Zhai You was stunned.

He showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "What is the situation of Daqin now, how can I know so much as a country person." ”

"The officials still don't want to make fun of me."

Fusu's face was solemn, he didn't smile at all, and arched his hand: "I'm really asking, all the way from Xianyang, I have seen a lot along the way, and I have heard a lot, the place under Daqin's eyes is very barren, and it can even be called a downfall, you are a descendant of the surname Ying, and you are also a side branch of the Great Qin Sect, so you should tell us the truth." ”

"We also need to get to know the place."

Zhai You's face condensed.

He glanced at Fusu and the others suspiciously, and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you from the Prime Minister's Mansion to survey and record historical materials?" Why ask about places? ”

Fusu's face was as usual, and he said slowly: "It has been nine years since the founding of Great Qin, and the implementation of the new policy has been several years, but the imperial court also wants to know the living conditions of the people at the bottom under the new policy. ”

"Oh?" Zhai You's eyes flickered.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu, guessed Fusu's thoughts, and added: "This is the instruction of the eldest son." ”

Hear the words.

Fusu's face froze.

Childe and the others had a slightly different expression.

They glanced at Zhai You, then at Fusu, and couldn't help but hang their heads to avoid showing their abnormalities.

"The eldest son?" Zhai You was shocked in his heart, and he did not doubt him, and sighed: "The eldest son is really benevolent and righteous, and he is considerate of the head of the world. ”

"Since the eldest son wants to know, how dare I, Zhai You, not say it?"

"I don't know about other places, but I still know a thing or two about how Qin Ting's Qianshou is doing."

"Bitter!"

"Bitter?"

Zhai You nodded and said, "It's bitter." ”

"It's not one side of the suffering, it's all the suffering."

"All the officials walked along the road, and they should have seen some, there are few men in the fields, basically the old and weak women and children are farming, if I don't have a good family background, my father used to be a village husband, maybe it is no different from other Qianshou, even so, I have not served less in the past few years, but the time will be relatively shorter."

"The population of Qin Pavilion is not too much, there are only about 400 households, but in the entire pavilion, there are less than 100 young and strong men."

"It's shocking."

Zhai You let out a long sigh.

Fusu was also silent.

Hu Hai said in a condensed voice: "Is it really so bitter? ”

Zhai You glanced at Hu Hai coldly, and said coldly: "How can I lie about this?" ”

"The men of each household in the pavilion have been requisitioned for two to three years, and they don't know the return date, and the imperial court has increased year by year, farming, autumn harvest, weaving, etc., all of which have been pressed on the old and weak women and children, and the gains and losses have been smooth in recent years, if there is a drought, storm, waterlogging, locust plague, etc., I don't know how many people will die in the place."

"It is also thanks to the benevolence of the eldest son, who took care of the salt and iron, and let the price of salt and iron drop a little, otherwise the local resentment will only be greater."

"But the Qianshou actually didn't benefit much."

"The problems of lack of youth and strong people and high-level mouths that are pressed on the local Qiantou have not been substantively resolved."

Zhai You paused for a moment, and also said boldly: "Zhou has declined due to the loss of Zhou, if Qin loses the heart of the Qin people, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"I know it's inappropriate, but as a descendant of the surname Ying, I don't want Daqin to fall."

"Ugh."

Zhai You sighed again.

"Thank you, sir." Fu Su arched his hand sincerely and said: "I will definitely convey this to the eldest son, Daqin has indeed used some people too much over the years, but the imperial court has noticed it now, and in the following period of time, the imperial court will gradually make changes." ”

Zhai You said: "I hope so." ”

Fusu asked Zhai You a few more words, and Zhai You also answered as much.

Then Zhai You left.

Fusu looked at the sound of Zhai You leaving, and sighed heavily, and the other sons in the room were also silent, and a heavy and suppressed emotion enveloped this pavilion chief room.

Fusu stood up and said in a deep voice: "What Zhai You said, I'm afraid there is still restraint. ”

"I'm afraid the situation in the local area is even more dire."

"There is no way back for Daqin now, even if Your Majesty wants to stop, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn around, I know so much, but I have nothing to do."

Fusu wandered around.

There was no one in the room who spoke.

Not much.

Shi Yue came in.

Ji Heng said lightly: "Pavilion Chief Shi, the historical materials related to Qin Pavilion have been corrected, and I will leave later, thank you Pavilion Chief Shi for your hospitality." ”

Shi Yuehao said angrily: "It's all within the scope of the matter. ”

"You officials don't dislike it."

Ji Heng smiled, and suddenly said: "Pavilion Chief Shi is well managed, and has always been in the position of Pavilion Chief, it is really a bit condescending, and when I return to Xianyang this time, I will recommend Pavilion Chief Shi to the imperial court, and then the Pavilion Chief may be able to get some promotions, but I am afraid that the help to Pavilion Chief Shi is limited." ”

"But I'll do my best."

Shi Yue's face was slightly different, he pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your love, but I, Shi Yue, am a small official, and I really don't dare to bother the officials to ask for credit for me, and it is really useless to ask, and I have been in Qin Pavilion since I was a child, and I have long been used to staying here, and I am afraid that I am still a little uncomfortable in changing places." ”

"Thank you for your attention, but it's really unnecessary."

Hear the words.

Fu Su frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "The talent of the pavilion chief, seeing the subtle knowledge, managing the people of ten miles is in good order, and he can also handle the tedious things in the township very properly, only being a micro pavilion chief is really a bit condescending." ”

Shi Yue shook his hand and said, "The officials have knowledge." ”

"Everyone has their own talents, I am the pavilion chief, and I should be a capable talent, but if I go up, I am afraid it will be difficult."

"I know what I'm doing."

"I can only manage my own one-third of an acre of land, this is still Qin Ting's father and fellow villagers, if it is changed elsewhere, I am afraid it will be a mess, now I can continue to be the chief of Qin Ting, the subordinates really know enough, and they really dare not regenerate their ambitions, and please forgive me."

Fusu looked at Shi Yue deeply, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Ji Heng glanced at Shi Yue a few times, seemed to think of something, and said: "Pavilion Chief Shi knows himself very well, but at present, the situation in Great Qin is turbulent, and Qin Pavilion is the place where Qin took root, but it is not suitable to change officials easily, and it is most suitable for Pavilion Chief Shi to continue to serve as it." ”

"But when the world is stable in the future and the court needs it, the pavilion chief will still be promoted."

"I just hope that the pavilion chief will not shirk when the time comes."

Hear the words.

Shi Yue showed gratitude on his face, and hurriedly said: "Shi Yue is a Great Qin official, if the court needs it, he will never dare to refuse, but as the official said, the affairs of the Qin Pavilion are heavy at the moment, but I can't get out, so I have to refuse." ”

"I hope the superior will be perfected."

Fusu glanced at Ji Heng, but didn't say anything more.

Looked at.

Shi Yue said: "It's noon, please also ask the officials to stay in Qin Pavilion for a while, and it's not too late to leave after lunch." ”

"The subordinates will go down and prepare."

After speaking.

Shi Yue saluted Fusu and the others one by one, and left the pavilion chief's room quickly.

After Shi Yue walked away completely, Fu Su frowned and said: "Mr. Ji, Shi Yue is a capable person, why doesn't Mr. Ji want him to be promoted?" ”

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said slowly: "Promotion? Is he willing to rise? ”

"I don't want to."

"Shi Yue is a smart person."

"He has real power in Qin Ting, once he is promoted, whether he can have real power is still two words, and the current official position in the county is a radish and a pit, and it has long been arranged, if he is suddenly promoted, he will inevitably squeeze out the position of other officials, and I am afraid that he will offend many people at that time."

"You are a frivolous promotion, but he has to spend a lot of effort."

"If the situation in Daqin is stable, he may be happy to be promoted, but now that the situation is turbulent, it is really worth the loss to be promoted rashly."

"Weigh the pros and cons."

"Staying in the same position is the best option."

"If I were Shi Yue, it would be the same."

"The current Daqin is not enough to let himself work hard, continue to work for Daqin, and the benefits he brings to himself are lower than the harm to himself, as long as he weighs it a little, it is easy to make a choice."

"Bandang knows loyal ministers, and thinks of good generals in times of national crisis."

"But a country cannot take the initiative to put itself in danger, and then choose loyal and good generals, but when it is to constantly promote and reuse loyal and good generals in daily life, so that they can always stand with the country, only in this way can the country always walk on the right path."

"If a country has come to the end of the day, and only thinks of using loyal ministers, the country may have reached the point of dying, even if this person can save the sky, but how can it last?"

Fusu was silent.

He thought of the officials who had not been discouraged over the years.

These people probably think the same way as Shi Yue, but as the eldest son of Great Qin, he only feels heavy in his heart about this ugly status quo.

Without the help of good ministers and generals, how easy is it for Great Qin to calm down the world?

He knew it in his heart.

The current situation in Great Qin is not enough for people to serve.

But as long as the situation in Daqin begins to improve, he believes that there will be more and more capable people in the world who will take the initiative to serve Daqin.

And surely!

Fusu clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.

This part of the plot has been omitted.

Tomorrow I will start to make up the 10,000-word update when I put it on the shelf.
