Chapter 54 Secret Meeting

After the snow melted, there was a hint of warmth in the air in Wancheng.

The drizzling spring rain whirls, and the land of Wancheng is shrouded in a hazy mist and rain.

A luxurious mansion in Dongcheng is bathed in the mist and rain, peaceful and quiet.

The locals in Wancheng are very familiar with this house. The owner of this house is Han Di. It is said that his ancestors can be traced back to Han Jue in the Jin Dynasty. They are of the same lineage as the current King of Han and can be regarded as the distant relative of the King of Han.

Deep in the Han house, in a secret small room, crowded with people, holding a secret party.

"Nanyang has returned to Qin State, and everyone knows the provisions of Qin Law." Han Di, the convener of the party, waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down. "After the new county magistrate took office, he posted a notice. In a month, Nanyang will start to fully implement Qin Law."

"The Qin law wants us to separate our families and register slaves. This is a disguised plunder of our property." An elderly man said, "This county magistrate also abolished the Korean language and required that all the carriages produced in the Nanyang workshop should adopt the Qin standards. In this way, the carriages in our hands will be invalidated!"

"Not only that, I heard that Nanyang also had to adopt the weights and measures of Qin, and to buy and sell goods worth more than one yuan, there was a certificate." Another young man spoke.

Qin unified the weights and measures, whether it was sold or bought, the standards were unified, and they left credentials to each other. If there was any fraud, they could go to the government to sue with the credentials. In South Korea, there were different types of names. It was common for big families to make big moves. When Qianshou knew about it, there was no way to deal with them.

Tian Chang of Qi used a big fight to win people's hearts. Although he received praise from Qi people, he could illustrate the chaos of the weight and measure system of the six Shandong countries.

The Qi people received temporary favors, but after the Tian clan usurped the throne and took power, they would probably take it back twice as much.

There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason. These wealthy families in Nanyang are dissatisfied with the Qin system, but because the Qin law harmed their interests.

"Old Han, what should we do?"

Everyone weighed in their hearts that the Qin army was stationed in Nanyang. Rebelling against Qin with the power they had was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. Han Di's ancestors showed glory and were very influential in Nanyang. This gathering was summoned by Han Di, and everyone looked at Han Di.

Han Di nodded slightly, enjoying this sense of authority. The Han family owns a lot of land in Nanyang, and people can leave it, but they cannot take it away. He secretly learned about the Qin system that the amount of land is linked to the title, and the five doctors will no longer reward land after it.

The county magistrates of the Qin people would definitely remeasure the land and determine the taxes. In this way, the land hidden by the Han family would inevitably be cleared out.

"The Qin people just got the land of Nanyang. Among the Qianshou, the Qin people had no prestige. People trusted them. "Han Di looked around and pondered: "Without our cooperation, the Qin people wanted to digest Nanyang County, so don't even think about it!"

As soon as Han Di finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. The strong dragon could not defeat the local snake. They lived in Nanyang for hundreds of years and had a high reputation, forming a brand effect. What they said was more effective than what government officials said.

This is the case when the King of Han manages, and the same is true when the Qin State manages.

"Spring plowing is approaching, and all the grains are in our hands. As long as we do not provide grains and do not sell grains, the Qianshou will not be full of food-" Han Di took a sip of tea and snorted coldly: "Send people to secretly incite the Qianshou to the incendiary, and the Qianshou will be in turmoil. Let's see how the Qins deal with it!"

"Just do what Mr. Han said, let the Qin people understand that their stubborn approach will not work in Nanyang!"

"That's it. After I go back, I will close the grain shop under my name immediately!"

······

In the new Taoist temple, Meng Tianzheng and Bu Xing fencing.

"General, sir, have tricky information!" Jing Su hurriedly ran over.

"What's the matter?" Meng Tian put down the wooden sword in his hand and called Jing Su to sit down.

"The Han family, the Zhu family, the Gong family and the Gong family in Wancheng secretly met secretly. I got the news that they would deduct grain and ban the sale of grain." Jing Su had a very talented intelligence, but he was only twenty-seven years old at that time and still lacked experience, so he had not encountered such a situation.

"How did you know?" Bu Xing asked. Following Meng Tian, ​​Bu Xing was both a gentleman and an aide. With more experiences in practical matters, Bu Xing felt increasingly important to combine knowledge with reality.

"I found out secretly." Only he and Meng Tian knew about Jing Su's black eagle, even Bu Xing did not know. Jing Su naturally would not disclose the source of the information to Bu Xing.

After entering Wancheng, Jing Su began to secretly monitor the big families in Wancheng. These people are very famous locally, and if they are not careful, they will cause great trouble.

After inquiring quietly, Jing Su learned that a concubine from the Han family was married by Han Diqiang, which caused the family to be destroyed.

It is said that women accept it, but Han Di did not expect that after so many years, the hatred in the concubine's heart did not disappear at all. Without much effort, the concubine became a nail to Jing Su.

"These rich people are really overestimating their abilities!" Meng Tian snorted coldly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. "I'm afraid they would think they could continue to act as a mighty person, old people who don't know the current affairs!"

Meng Tian knew this very well. When a regime was just established, the old nobles always tried every means to destroy it secretly. Even if the new system was in line with the trend of history, they would not care, they only care about their own interests.

It is only suitable to talk about metaphysics with vested interests, but not reforms.

The systems stipulated by Qin Law are indeed strict, but compared with the six Shandong countries, it is the most advanced and reasonable legal system of this era. At least in Qin State, the masters executed slaves and had to go through legal procedures by the government, while the nobles and wealthy families of the six Shandong countries could execute their subordinates and concubines at will.

"General, what should we do?" Jing Su asked.

"Nanyang cannot be in chaos. If Nanyang is in chaos, we can only continue to transfer troops from Guanzhong and transfer grain." Bu Xing frowned, secretly hating that these local tyrants were ungrateful. Bu Xing still learned the new term "local tyrant". "Guanzhong is working hard to build canals, and there is not much food for the time being."

Meng Tian knew about the construction of canals in Guanzhong. The Zheng State designed the Zheng State Canal with a huge project, and the Qin State's corvee service almost all went to the Zheng State Canal construction site. Fortunately, Zheng State, as a famous water conservancy expert in ancient China, had its own professional ethics and did not deliberately plan a project that could not be completed.

"It seems that we have to fight the local tyrants and share the land!" Meng Tian sighed. He used to be, and he had a critical attitude towards fighting the local tyrants and share the land. But now he is in a different position, but he understands that politics really has no conscience. If he wants to gain the support of most people, he has to sacrifice the interests of a small number of stubborn elements.

"Battle the local tyrants and share the land?" Bu Xing and Jing Su didn't understand why.

The theory of fighting local tyrants and sharing land seems simple, but in fact it is profound and detailed. The specific operation requires more skills. Seeing Bu Xing and Jing Su were full of questions, Meng Tian had to explain in detail.

"I will first tell you about the relationship between the tyrants and slaves. Their interests are not consistent. What we have to do is unite the slaves and defeat the tyrants in Nanyang..."
