"Stay obediently, maybe you can be a county guard in the future." Zhu Xiang wiped his sweat, looked up at the clear sky, and muttered to himself in a voice that others could not hear.

It's a sunny day.

While Zhu Xiang and the Qin army were cleaning up the mud, many non-aristocratic Dongou people were quietly watching.

After that, they were driven to work with the Qin. Whenever they rested, they would look at Qin Jun in a daze.

I heard that this group of people was afraid of even their masters, so why did this group go down to work in the fields?

Could it be that in the far north, all people would work in the fields?

They imagined what the north would look like, but they couldn't think of it.

Then they stared at Qin Jun and imprinted the appearance of Qin Jun in their minds to replace their imagination.

There are slaves who are more appreciated by the nobility, and they are more eloquent and flexible. They secretly learned some of the words of the Qin army, and talked to the Qin army to inquire about the situation in the north.

The Qin army truthfully said that Nanjun was being reclaimed, and many prisoners of war were there. If they reclaim enough wasteland and work hard enough, they can become Qin people and get a piece of land.

"A share of the land? Own land? ”

"Yes."

"Can you eat your own food?"

"I have to pay part of it to the government, and I have to serve as a conscript."

It's actually quite bitter. Qin Bing truthfully said that the life of their common people was not good.

It is better to serve in the military and make more money than farming as a commoner. Of course, generally they are family members who farm and serve in the military themselves, and both sides have to earn.

Now follow General Li Mu, they are doing well. General Li Mu would hardly take away their rations.

Help Zhu Xianggong farm, they are doing well, because Zhu Xianggong will also subsidize them.

"Generally speaking, you can't meet such a good general." Qin Bing said, "But as long as you don't die in battle, it's not difficult to live." ”

Qin Bing thought about the common people of other countries he had encountered, and finally came to this conclusion.

At least now, compared to the people of the Six Kingdoms, it is not too difficult for the people of the Qin State to survive.

He doesn't know what the future holds, he only says now.

"What, you want to be a Qin person?" Qin Bing guessed the idea of asking his slave, and said in a low voice, "There are either mountains or seas around here, how can you escape?" Unless you surrender on the battlefield. But the battlefield sword doesn't have long eyes, and if you don't fight well, I'm afraid you'll be beheaded directly, and you won't have a chance to be a prisoner. ”

After listening to Qin Bing's words, the slave did not answer and left quietly.

After that, a slave quietly came to ask Qin Bing about the situation in Wu County in the distance.

I heard that if you climb over a mountain, and then climb over a mountain, you can reach the Qin State.

Qin Bing always poured cold water on them.

"Don't think about it, how can you escape? I've heard that if you are caught, you will be killed. ”

"Rather than trying to escape, you should hope that we will call...... Ah, surely not now. We're going to fight the Six Nations, and we don't have time to fight you. ”

"I've said it all, there's no hope."

Qin Bing was tired of asking.

Perhaps because they discovered Qin Bing's impatience, the slaves stopped asking, and Qin Bing's ears were a lot quieter.

After another half a month, Zhu Xiang and his people finally cleaned up the stagnant water and silt after the disaster, and the crops that were not yet ripe were also ripe for harvesting.

Next, Zhu Xiang will drive them to plant new crops and teach them new planting methods.

Zhu Xiang thought very well, but it was very troublesome when it was implemented.

Slaves have always been lazy when they can, and when they do more work, the slave owners will only give them more work, and it is impossible to rest.

Although Zhu Xiang's planting method can make the fields produce more grain, what does this grain have to do with the people who farm?

All they know is that their workload has increased.

So Zhu Xiang taught hotly, and the reaction was sparse.

The nobles of Dongou were willing to move their slaves and send people to whip them to punish the lazy.

But even so, Zhu Xiang's implementation of new farming techniques was still very difficult.

Zhu Xiang thought about it and asked Li Mu to take over Ying Xiaozheng and let Wang Jian go back to temporarily take the post of county guard.

Productivity and production relations affect each other like feet and shoes. Now this scene is just right for Zheng'er to teach.

He also asked Xu Ming and Xianghe to watch this scene well and get inspiration from it.

Zhu Xiang did not mechanically transmit his thoughts to them, but only guided them to think in this direction.

The beautiful vision of the Mo family and the peasant family is difficult to realize, because those who have interests do not harm their own interests. So they need to look for a "middle point" like Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism.

How to improve the treatment of peasants and craftsmen while helping the monarch to gain more troops and money is the "middle point" they should be looking for.

Although Zhu Xiang told them what to do in 2,000 years, people can't rely on the future to draw bread to satisfy their hunger, they still have to base themselves on the present.

If bread is not found in this day and age, people will still starve to death.

After Ying Xiaozheng came to Don'ou, he met Ouyang Shao, who although he didn't dare to "provoke" Zhu Xiang again, but still occasionally cheekily asked Zhu Xiang for teaching.

Ying Xiaozheng didn't know why, and when he saw Ouyang Shao, he didn't like it.

So he secretly took someone behind Zhu Xiang's back and threatened Ouyang Shao. Ouyang Shao never appeared in front of Zhu Xiang again.

When Zhu Xiang learned about this, he only knew that Ying Xiaozheng threatened people, but as for how he threatened, he didn't know.

"Zheng'er, what did you threaten him?" Zhu Xiang was really curious.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "I didn't threaten anything, I just learned from him." ”

Just tell that little Nanban that this little knowledge should not be embarrassed by his uncle.

As for threatening to attack Dongou or something as the future King of Qin, he will definitely fight Don'ou, how can it be called a threat?

Chapter 132: Snake Frog Pumpkin Seeds

Zhu Xiang's big move in Dongou gradually caused the tension of the Dongou nobles.

They thought that Zhu Xiang was standing on the edge of the field and pointing fingers. Who would have thought that Zhu Xiang would actually take the Qin army to cultivate in the fields.

At first, the Dongou nobles thought that they had taken a big advantage, as if the Qin army had become their slaves.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

When the Qin army all over the mountains went down to cultivate, did the large field of Dongou still look like their field?

What exactly does Qin Jun want to do?

When they saw their serfs' hearts fluttering, they immediately felt the urgency of the situation.

Even if they couldn't predict what would happen next, they were keenly aware that the Qin army had to be immediately forbidden to continue cultivating the land.

The Qin army was strong, and it was definitely inappropriate to condescend to cultivate the land for the Dongou people, and drive it out directly and forcefully. They hurriedly sent a letter to the king of Don'ou, hoping that the king of Dongou would come back to settle the matter.

The spies sent by Li Mu found out about this.

Ying Xiaozheng said unhappily: "Uncle, you see that this group of people don't know how to lift, so you shouldn't come to help them." ”

Zhu Xiang wiped the head of Ying Xiaozheng, who had just finished washing his hair: "They reacted so quickly, it's not too stupid." ”

Ying Xiaozheng was puzzled: "Huh? What's the reaction? ”

Zhu Xiang asked: "Zheng'er, you see, Wu County is now short of people to develop wasteland, and the King of Chu said that he is willing to send 10,000 Chu troops south to Wu County to help us cultivate the land, do you agree?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng didn't think about it and said, "Get out!" ”

Looking at the smile on Zhu Xiang's face, Ying Xiaozheng embarrassedly stretched his neck and bumped his uncle's hand to wipe his hair, and said with a straight face: "They only reacted now, it's so stupid!" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled.

No matter what the Qin army did when they went ashore, when the Qin army stayed for a long time in the coastal plain with the largest permanent population in Dongou for a long time, Dongou had already done something wrong.

Li Mudu was worried that there were too few soldiers who could be spies, and they were not enough.

"Not only that, I let the Qin army go to the land to farm, but also let the serfs here see another way of life." Zhu Xiang said, "The nobles of Dongou only account for less than half of the population of Donou. As long as they yearn for the Qin State and the Central Plains, it will be much easier for the Qin State to take this land. ”

Zhu Xiang didn't talk to Ying Xiaozheng about the hardships of the people at the bottom or about the emancipation of slaves.

Over the years, Zhu Xiang has profoundly realized the meaning expressed by the boring words in the textbooks of his previous life.

It is against the laws of reality to use the way of moral influence to make the conscience of the vested interests of the aristocracy discover that it is against the law of reality to take the initiative to help the people at the bottom live well.

There may be people in the class who betray the class, but there will be no class that betrays the class.

If Zhu Xiang wants the ruling class to do some practical things to benefit the people, he must let the ruling class know what kind of benefits they can obtain after doing so.

This benefit will not only be greater than the price they pay, but many times more, so that they will be "consumed by profit" and willing to change the habits and thoughts they are now accustomed to.

Because changing habits and minds requires a lot of engineering and causes a lot of turmoil, far more than the price paid on the surface.

Xunzi promoted the "King of Benevolence" and "Righteous Soldiers", and there was no monarch's heart.

In fact, the kings knew that there was a benefit to doing so, but they never did. For to do so, the monarch would have to reform a range of policies and decrees, from military merit to governance.

Zhu Xiang wants Ying Xiaozheng to be a little kind to civilians in the future.

For Qin Shi Huang, the policy of exhaustion and abuse of the people was the right path for the Qin state since the Shang Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Xiang knew that when the external environment changed, this path was no longer correct. But just as it was very difficult for Shang Ying to change the law back then, it was also very difficult for the Qin State to turn a corner from the "violent Qin".

Zhu Xiang must let Ying Xiaozheng see enough benefits from now on before Ying Xiaozheng can change his thinking.

Although Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of the ages, the first emperor of the ages was also an emperor, and he was also the emperor when the slave system was transformed into a feudal system. He is the one at the top of the pyramid of the ruling class, and all the people of the Qin State are de jure his servants to support his ambitions.

The state of Qin is his private property, and wherever he wants this country to go, this country will go.

"If they yearn for the Qin State in their hearts, then when the Qin State attacks Donou, they will encounter much less resistance." Ying Xiaozheng pondered, "When the Qin State occupies this place, it will be easier for them to obey the management of the Qin State. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Not only the benefits of the future, but also the benefits we can get now." ”

Ying Xiaozheng pondered for a while, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The Qin army has already gone ashore to help Dongou farm, they want us to go back to the ship, how can we do it without paying a price?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I suggest that Lu Buwei do this." In business, he is very good at it. ”
