Pei County.

A low-key and luxurious carriage drives in the middle of the avenue.

Li Si sat among them, with an indifferent expression. He had specially changed into simple Gebu clothes, wore a wooden crown on his head, and looked through the bamboo slips in his hand from time to time.

He suddenly changed his identity and became a grain merchant in Dongwu County. This was just used to conceal their identities so that they could enter Surabaya County to search secretly. Except for him, others like Wang Ben and Wang Wu were scattered to other counties.

We must find those two children within half a month!

Now that the emperor has been missing for more than a month, the government and the public have been shocked. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be. Li Sisi thought about it and decided to go to Peixian County to look for him in person. Regardless of whether he can be found or not, he will leave it here for now, so as not to go there in the future.

He went to Xianyang and told people that he was incompetent and harbored evil intentions.

After searching for Surabaya County, we have gained something. After many inquiries, we finally found out that the two children had appeared around Pei County. This time they personally went out to find them in one fell swoop!

To ensure nothing goes wrong, they do it themselves.

Pei County, Xiao County, Fuli County...

They all sent people there.

Looking at the bamboo slips, Li Si sighed.

These mediocre officials who were lying on their backs were as stupid as dogs and pigs. They usually ignored them, but when they saw that he wanted to inspect various places, they all became anxious. The captain of Donghai County could personally lead three thousand troops and go to encircle and suppress dozens of people.

In the end, the bandits escaped. Even if there were three thousand pigs, they would not be able to escape.

Not to mention that the so-called assassins are fake, just treat them as real. This group of people sent out troops with such a big fanfare, which assassin doesn't know how to avoid and hide?

I usually don’t care about it, but now I know it’s urgent?!

The purpose of the First Emperor's eastward tour this time was to intimidate the mighty powers of the Qi region. Surabaya and other places were not peaceful to begin with, and the county magistrates carefully selected from Xianyang were obviously not accustomed to the local climate, and all of them had weak IQs.

Fortunately, there are finally some smart Qin officials.

For example, the current stingy man in Fengyi Township—Cao Xiu!

At a young age, he knew how to share the country's worries. Although the suggestions he presented were a bit immature, his writing style was quite good. Even some county magistrates did not have this ability. Especially the method of limited purchase, which benefited Li Sidu a lot.

.

I heard that this method has been improved now. Xiangting grain stores have been added to purchase rice in different regions, so as to avoid waiting in line in Guizhou. If you are interested, you can buy rice locally based on the test.

As for this point, Li Si had already thought of it before.

Cao Xiu's ability to make up for it won Li Si's admiration. It is normal for young people to make small mistakes without thinking carefully. It mainly depends on whether they can correct and make up for it in the future.

Li Si put down the bamboo slips, raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

He chose Peixian County this time for many reasons. Firstly, Peixian County was more hopeful and more likely to find the two young children. Also, he wanted to find an opportunity to get in touch with Cao Xiu. If he had real talent and learned

, can also be cultivated well.

You know, this is also his political capital.

If you want to secure your position, you must have someone in the court. He is now the Prime Minister of Zuo and can be said to be a very popular minister, but he does not have many helpers in the court. Cao Xiuruo is a smart man, he can help him

.

……

As the carriage gradually enters Fengyi, you can see green seedlings swaying in the wind from a distance. Even in the hot summer, you can still see many Guizhou people working hard weeding and watering.

Li Si nodded gently in approval.

"In the past, when my teacher entered Qin, he said: Looking at its customs, its people are simple, its vocal music is not dirty, and its obedience is not challenging. I am very afraid of being obedient if there is an official, just like the people of ancient times. Now this Fengyi, the head of Guizhou, has fallen to Guanzhong Qin

The people are all the same, they are all pure people from ancient times!"

Looking back on the past, Li Si was filled with emotion.

After he finished his studies, he discussed with Xunzi which country he should go to. In his opinion, the King of Chu was not enough, and the six countries were all weak and could not make any contributions. Only Qin could make him show his talents. Regarding his decision, Xunzi

I also strongly agree. The Qin State values ​​law, and Li Si is proficient in the art of emperors, which is exactly in line.

He ordered the driver to stop temporarily and got out of the carriage.

Looking around, he prepared to find a big tree to pee. Because of the hot weather, he drank a lot of water, and the road was very bumpy, so naturally he couldn't hold himself tight.

"Ouch!"

"What are you doing in front?!"

Before Li Si was released, he was stopped by someone. He trembled in shock, his old face turned red immediately, he frowned and turned his head. He saw an old man with his head wrapped in a red scarf walking out on crutches. Before he could get angry, the old man

It's a pre-emptive strike.

"Are you literate?"

"Of course I know you."

The old man snorted loudly and raised his hand to point into the distance. A wooden board was erected at the edge of the field, with eight characters written on it in small seals: Twenty dollars for defecating anywhere.

"???"

Li Si was dumbfounded.

What kind of rule is this?

There is no such thing in the Qin Code!

This is the countryside, is it illegal?

"Presumptuous! Do you know who he is?"

The official's coachman walked out angrily.

However, Li Si raised his hand to signal him to step back.

"Who cares, sir?" The old man was very angry and cursed: "This is a rule made by a stingy husband. If you want to have a special public hut for your convenience, hey, just a hundred steps ahead."

As he spoke, the old man raised his crutch and pointed it not far away.

Li Si frowned and looked over, and there was indeed a thatched house of medium size. He could also see a strong man walking out of it, holding up his pants as he walked.

"Are you saying that this was done by a stingy man?"

"You are from another county, don't you know?" The old man looked at Li Si, and judging from his accent, it was obvious that he was not from Peixian County, and then continued: "Since Shi Fu took office, he applied to build huts. At the same time, he issued an order prohibiting Guizhou heads.

It is convenient to use anywhere. We also mobilized officials to work as excrement collectors, who had to clean the latrines every day. The filth was then turned into fertilizer and used to fertilize the fields."

"But Cao Xiu?"

"Exactly."

Li Si smiled instead of getting angry, "Interesting, I didn't expect this guy to be really capable."

His teacher once said: Covering acres of land, cultivating grain with thorns, and fertilizing fields with manure is a matter for farmers and common people. His junior brother Han Fei also once said: If you work hard on the fields, you must irrigate them with manure. Cao Xiu could think of this

It is really smart to use compost as fertilizer. Proper fertilization can increase soil fertility and greatly increase the yield per mu.

What Cao Xiu did made Li Si appreciate him more and more.

He had just become a local miser, and he was already taking advantage of it. The key was to know how to control the people, and to use fines to make the head of Guizhou dare not disobey orders.

There is also a toilet built at a very low cost. It is actually a large water tank, surrounded by logs, and the roof is covered with thatch.

As soon as Li Si came out, his subordinates hurriedly came forward.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"

"Huh?"

"The young master ran away from behind." The official lowered his head and said with helplessness on his face: "He made a fuss about getting off the car, but he disappeared into the fields when the Zhongche government order was unprepared."

"Stupid!!!"

Li Si was so angry that his mouth almost twisted.

This Hu Hai is as stupid as a dog and a pig!

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Find someone quickly!"

"Wei!"

The emperor was not found, so the young master was also missing!
Chapter completed!
