Chapter 152 The love and hatred between Li Si and the First Emperor

Zhang Liang traveled far and wide and was taught by strange people. He was no longer the reckless and courageous man he once was.

Today's Qin Dynasty is worried about people's anger and resentment.

There are countless people in the world who hate Qin. Millions of officials and slaves, heavy taxes and corvees are a huge mountain weighing on the head of Guizhou.

This anger was enough to destroy the world. On the contrary, among the nobles, each had his own dirty thoughts and cursed loudly, but one by one chose to compromise.

Nobles have never been forced to the edge of life and death. Instead, they live in dire straits.

It's just that the voices of the people in Guizhou are very small, and no one speaks on their behalf.

If we follow this trend, we only need to wait for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity for most of the nobles to unite their front, and with a cheer, the world will be shaken!

At that time, there was only the slightest chance of restoring the country.

But now, Qin seems to have suddenly changed its temper.

New grain was distributed, but there was no intention to increase taxes and corvees.

The price of salt has dropped even lower than that of private salt. The rope around Guizhou's neck suddenly and inexplicably loosened a little. This made Zhang Liang feel panic and was something Zhang Liang could not have expected.

"Why is Qin's official salt sold at such a low price?"

It’s not that Zhang Liang doesn’t know the process of making salt. The cost is actually there. According to common sense, Qin’s official salt doesn’t even take into account the cost...

"In the Qin State, isn't the price reflected in the tax?"

Zhang Liang observed everything with his old thinking, but he never thought that this was the innovation brought about by technology and the improvement of productivity, which directly destroyed all of this. This is something that cannot be taken into account by power and strategy, and it is precisely this

This made Zhang Liang feel uneasy for no reason.

…

And Pei County on the other side...

Fan Kuai knocked on Liu Bang's door.

"Brother! Brother! Open the door quickly, brother!"

Inside the room, Liu Bang was in the sprint stage, and the beautiful lady beneath him had a coquettish look on his face.

"Brother! Open the door! Brother! Why did you lock them in broad daylight? If you don't open the door, I will climb over the wall and get in!" Fan Kuai's loud voice remained the same.

Liu Bang's legs trembled, and he spat as he looked at the displeased beautiful woman.

"Damn it!"

Liu Bang hastily wrapped up his clothes and went straight to the door. He angrily opened the door latch and kicked Fan Kuai in the butt.

"Brother! Let me see if the little widow in the tavern is in the house?" Fan Kuai deftly dodged Liu Bang's attack and stuck his head out with a charming smile on his face.

"Bang!" A clog hit Fan Kuai squarely in the face, and a beautiful woman walked out of the house with her hands on her hips and yelled.

"Look, I asked you to see the thing without eggs. My mother-in-law is standing here. Why don't you look at it?"

"Okay, okay, my brother is like this, he has no sense, why should you care about him, go in quickly, go in quickly..."

Seeing that the beautiful woman was angry, Liu Bang quickly pushed her back into the house. After trying to comfort her for a long time, he came out and looked at Fan Kuai with a gloomy look on his face.

"If you don't tell me why, I'll have to skin you!" Liu Bang pointed at Fan Kuai!

When good things were ruined, Liu Bang became angry.

Fan Kuai scratched his head when he saw this and said with a smile: "Brother, what a good thing!"

After saying that, he took out a package from his arms and spread it out layer by layer.

"Fairy food! Xiao He asked me to deliver it!"

Inside the package, I saw two cobs of corn, three or four sweet potatoes, and seven or eight potatoes.

When Liu Bang heard this, he hurriedly took it and looked at it intently for a long time.

"Why...there are so few. Even this fairy grain is too long." Liu Bang looked at the numb sweet potatoes and then at the yellow corn cobs with a hint of sadness on his face.

question.

"Just this thing, can it really produce several kilograms per acre?"

"That's all. The grains distributed in Peixian County total only a few hundred kilograms. They were all taken by big households. Ordinary people couldn't even see them. These in my brother's hands belong to Xiao He. Xiao He specially asked me to send them to him.

, otherwise we won’t be able to get the immortal seed in our hands.” Fan Kuai spread his hands.

"He's a big fucking dog owner, he doesn't hand over the food, he doesn't have his turn to do the corvée work, and every one of them smells shit and gets more anxious than the other one!" Liu Bang spat on the ground.

"With these few sticks, how long will it take for me to plant the seeds?"

"The yield of this fairy grain is extraordinary. Xiao He said that in three or two years at most, the seeds produced will be enough for planting. Then brother can share some seeds with me." Fan Kuai rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"I will miss you. When the harvest comes, we will all share the seeds equally... Damn it, how do you plant this?" Liu Bang carefully collected the three types of fairy grains and asked cursingly.

road.

"Xiao He said that he will make a copy of it later. At present, all the farming strategies have been borrowed by big households." Fan Kuai replied.

"Damn it! Even the good things have gone to them first. Nai Gong has to pay for food and serve in the army, but they sit at home and make money safely. Once Nai Gong became powerful, he had to capture them all and serve in corvee, and their lives were taken away.

The fields are all divided!"

"Every dog-like thing!"

"Who says it's not the case?" Fan Kuai looked at him in agreement.

Although it is politically correct to criticize Qin, Da Qin has indeed done two good things recently.

One is that the price of salt has dropped, and the other is that immortality has been planted in local areas.

Zhao Zheng, who was short-tongued and soft-handed, couldn't blame Zhao Zheng for this. On the contrary, all the benefits were taken away by the wealthy people. Liu Bang naturally turned his anger towards those wealthy people.

He also hopes to use the immortal grain seeds to separate the family and become self-reliant.

At present, the Liu family has more than 100 acres of land, which cannot support the three brothers to start a family and start a business.

With the fairy grain, wheat and corn were planted in rotation, and coupled with the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the three brothers were able to barely survive after the family split. Liu Bang could only count on these three new grains to start a family.

The beautiful woman in the room was angry again. She had just made trouble with him today and asked Liu Bang if he didn't want to marry him because of his status as a widow. Why didn't Liu Bang want to marry him? It was just that he couldn't start a family and start a career.

"You son of a bitch, Zhao Zheng, my dear King Qin, don't grow his own grain and add corvee taxes!"

After getting the advantage, Liu Bang kicked Fan Kuai away, collected the three new grains, and hurriedly went to coax the beautiful woman.

…

On the other side, in Xianyang, is the palace of Da Qin.

"Now that new grain has been distributed to the local area, sailing has begun, and the price of salt has doubled, can it be said that it is doing good to the people?" Li Si asked.

It is worth mentioning that in recent days, because Li Si is in the critical stage of enlightenment and is trying to revise a brand new path, he often summons Zhao Si.

As a result, Zhao Si could be said to be running from both ends. However, Zhao Si had good physical strength and did not find it troublesome. The First Emperor could not accept it at first.

Li Si was of no importance, and his conversations with Zhao Si lasted for a long time or even a whole day. The First Emperor's personal secretary almost became Li Si's personal secretary.

However, Li Si used the name used by Zhao Si again.

It is Li Si's job to move the noble order. After all, it is a beheading business. Zhao Si cannot be avoided as the person who proposes the opinion. Li Si must fully communicate with Zhao Si, not to mention that Li Si is still in the stage of enlightenment.

critical stage.

Li Si told the First Emperor more than once that he was exploring a new way to eliminate the nobles and enable the Qin Dynasty to penetrate into the local area. This was also a state matter.

But it happened that the First Emperor needed Zhao Si as his personal secretary, so in the end he had to use a compromise method.

Ask Li Si to temporarily move his office to the palace and work together with the First Emperor.

Zhao Si continued to accompany him, serving as the personal secretary of the First Emperor and at the same time responsible for communicating with Li Si.

In this way, Li Si naturally became a meal in the palace, and the weight loss meal was used by the First Emperor.

Just kidding, the First Emperor would definitely not be able to accept him eating grass there and Li Si eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Although the meals were changed to diet meals that were difficult to swallow, Li Si was still very happy.

He is indeed very happy!

He had been following the First Emperor a long time ago.

After he left the army, he went to the Qin Dynasty alone, and wrote a letter to excommunicate the guests, which was discovered by the First Emperor, and he became the First Emperor's confidant and training target.

At that time, Li Si was high-spirited and full of vigor. At that time, the First Emperor, who had just assumed power, was ambitious.

At that time, Li Si and the First Emperor also had a true relationship between monarch and minister. Li Si even stayed with him for a long time and was often called into the palace to play duels. He was young, held a high position, and was trusted by the emperor.

Time can be said to be in the limelight.

The First Emperor even entrusted Li Si with important responsibilities, asking the young Li Si to preside over the reform of laws and participate in discussions on the use of troops.

For a long time, they were as close as Lord Shang and Duke Xiao of Qin.
