The Qin State is like a big tree in the sky, with lush branches and leaves, if you want this tree to die, you can only start from the roots, and if you want to disintegrate the Qin State, you must penetrate into it, destroy its foundation, and let it not get nutrients.

After Chu Chen returned to the inn, he lay on the bed, thinking about what he was going to do next.

According to the news obtained from the county guard, the two princes of Great Qin have set up a special hall to recruit talents in Yong'an City, the capital of Qin, to recruit talents from all over the world.

"I'll go to Yong'an City tomorrow. After thinking about it for a while, Chu Chen made a decision in his heart.

The next day, Chu Chen went out of Qingxi County, all the way to the south, and walked like this for two days, at noon on this day, Chu Chen came to a small village, twenty or thirty families in the village, the village that should have been full of smoke, but now there was an extremely aggrieved, angry, and desolate voice, a team of Qin troops galloped out of the village, and disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.

When Chu Chen entered the village, he saw that the village seemed to have just been ransacked, every household was in chaos, many women were disheveled and unkempt, many men were even injured, and a few were lying in a pool of blood, and there was no breath, next to them were desolate and weeping women or children, the whole village was a bleak scene.

Chu Chen rode into the village slowly, and immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, who looked at Chu Chen nervously one by one.

"What happened just now?" asked Chu Chen.

No one answered, some looked at him for a while and then stopped looking at him, while others wept in low voices.

"Was that the army of the Qin State just now?" Chu Chen asked again. Still no one answered him.

"Are you being bullied by them like this?" Chu Chen frowned, he didn't know what happened to the people in this village?

"Do you still have any backbone, can you bear being bullied like this?" Chu Chen said, this time in a somewhat heavy tone.

"This uncle, we are just ordinary people, they are the personal soldiers of Lord Qin, what can we do? An old man in his sixties spoke in frustration, his face full of sorrow, and his eyes did not have any sparkle.

"Didn't the Qin State always talk about the king's law?" Chu Chen said: "Don't you know how to report to the official? What's wrong with the prince, don't you have to abide by the king's law?

"Officials protect each other, the lives of our people are not even as good as cattle in their eyes, today's incident, it is because we went to report to the official the day before yesterday that we were so retaliated by the prince of Qin, if we go to report to the official again, the whole village will die!" A young man said angrily, but as soon as he said this, he was quickly covered by an old woman next to him, this woman's face was full of horror, obviously, he didn't want his child to say this, so as not to be convicted.

"If you continue to stay here, you will only be dead, so you might as well get out of here. "Chu Chen can see it, this should be the fief of the Qin prince they said, the people here should be tenants who work for him, this is a lot in the original Qi State and Chu State Liang State, but now they have divided the land for him, no longer enslaved by others, how much does the land grow, ninety percent is his own, only one percent of the income of the Heavenly Kingdom is needed, this is because the Heavenly Kingdom was first established, and after the Heavenly Kingdom is on the right track, Chu Chen will only collect 0.5 percent of the people, and the other ninety percent are all from the people.

"Uncle, you said it easily, the entire Yongzhou is the fief of the prince of Qin, where else can we go? What's more, we can't even get out of Chixia Town. Out of here, we're dead," said the old man who had just spoken.

When the old man said this, Chu Chen remembered that the tenants could not leave the town, because they had signed an agreement with the master, and they needed to take good care of the fields, and if the harvest was not good, they would have to owe the master grain, unless it was a natural disaster or the like, otherwise it would never be reduced.

The people had no land of their own, so they had to rely on the land-renters, and most of the harvest was taken by the masters, and only a small part was left;

"If you stay here, there is only a dead end, why not leave this place, maybe there is still hope to live. Chu Chen said: "If you can trust me, I can take you to a place, it is spring now, when you get there, you can open up the fields by yourself, the annual harvest is your own, and there will be no bad people in that place to hurt you, you can live a good life with peace of mind." ”

"Uncle, aren't you kidding, where is there such a place in this world?" The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a look of disbelief in what Chu Chen said, and the other people around him also looked disbelieving.

"If you don't believe me, send someone to see me. Chu Chen smiled slightly.

"In this way, I have a hundred taels of gold here, and I put it here as collateral, even if the person who went with me doesn't come back, you will earn this hundred taels of gold, right?" Chu Chen saw that everyone still didn't believe it, and he was very cautious, so he took out a hundred taels of gold from his arms and threw it directly in front of the old man.

The old man looked at the gold in front of him suspiciously, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the gold, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his mouth and bit it, exclaiming, "It's really gold!"

One hundred gold, in the Qin State, can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver, for an electric kettle, one thousand taels of silver is almost a lifetime of never want to earn, one thousand taels of silver, but you can buy dozens of acres of good land.

"I'll go and have a look with my uncle!" The young man who spoke just now stood up and said to Chu Chen.

"Yes, what's your name?" Chu Chen looked at the young man and asked.

"Villain Yang Thirteen. The young man replied. "My mother raised thirteen children, and the first twelve did not support them, and only I survived, so she gave me this name. ”

Although the young man is thin, but his bones are thick, Chu Chen looks at it as a good material for practicing martial arts, his divine sense sweeps, and he is even more sure of his vision, this son is indeed a good material for practicing martial arts, and his qualifications are the best he has ever seen in his life, but I don't know if there is a spiritual root, and it is suitable for cultivating immortals.

"Okay, let's go. Chu Chen smiled, turned the horse's head as he spoke, and walked out of the village.

After Yang Shisan said goodbye to his mother and the people in the village, he followed Chu Chen out of the village.

"Uncle, where are we going?" After leaving the village, he walked for almost half an hour, and Yang Shisan couldn't help but ask Chu Chen.

"Chixia Mountain. Chu Chen replied.

"Chixia Mountain?" When Yang Shisan heard this, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he paused and no longer followed Chu Chen forward.

"Why are you afraid?" Chu Chen grabbed the horse rope, glanced sideways at Yang Shisan, and asked with a smile.

Chixia Mountain, in a radius of 100 miles are notoriously fierce, because there are many beasts and poisonous insects, ordinary people go in, nine out of ten can not get out, once upon a time there was a fugitive who fled into Chixia Mountain, the official chased in, and finally only one official escaped, and he went crazy, this crazy official said that he saw a monster inside.
