When the sun rises and the roosters crow, Jingyang begins to get busy.

There were jingling sounds coming from various workshops.

Cooking cement, shaping iron and steel, and creating various agricultural tools.

Papermaking and printing, building school district houses.

It’s cold and cold, and even the winter snow can melt.

The aroma of tea oil covers the entire Jingyang, and it makes people feel energetic after smelling it. Tea oil has existed since ancient times and is squeezed with tea tree fruits. However, the amount extracted is very small, and not many people can eat it. The mainstream is sheep oil and lard. Huang Tingjian looked at the Lianji pestle and made an oil press.

The principle is probably similar to the ancient oil-pressing method in later generations. First, the tea fruit is crushed with a machine pestle. Then it is made into a tea cake, embedded in the machine, and then hit the tea cake with solid wood. By constantly hitting the tea cake, tea oil can be squeezed out. However, tea trees are not artificially planted now, and the amount of tea oil is also small.

After being packaged by Baiji, tea oil is a good thing that can prolong life. Eating more tea oil is better than lard butter. After promotion and packaging, the people who can eat tea oil in Xianyang are now top nobles. If you want to buy it, it depends on whether the relationship is good. Meng Yi is very smart in his calculations.

The person in charge of the tea oil mill was not the Qin people, but the Chu people. It was named Jing Lian. The Chu Kingdom was actually called Jing Kingdom in the early years, and later it was renamed Chu Kingdom. It was not as later generations understood that Qin Shihuang avoided his father, Chu, so he changed Chu to Jing.

This is actually nonsense, because in "Records of the Grand Historian" and in a large number of documents, does it mean that Shigong Tai also avoided King Zhuangxiang of Qin? In fact, this is easy to use. It’s okay to call Jing, and it’s okay to call Chu.

After the Jing family was the royal family of Chu, the Jing Jun before King Wen of Chu had descendants who had descendants with the country's name as their surname, so he called the Jing family. Jing Lian was from the Jing family of Mi and was born after the royal family of Chu. But this was a few hundred years ago, and the Jing family is not worth mentioning at all. Just like Jing Ke in the past, it is actually no different from the Qianshou, but it has a surname.

Jing Lian was not a big shot. He was a surrendered soldier in the State of Chu and was the centurion before. Because Qin State temporarily suspended the rebellion of Baiyue, some surrendered soldiers were demoted to Chengdan prisoners. So Jing Lian came to Jingyang like this. Later, Chunyu Yue saw that he performed well and knew that his hometown had planted tea trees and was good at squeezing tea oil, so he promoted him.

He also asked Xi for help, converted his household registration to Qianshou, and then transferred him to the tea oil workshop. Chunyu Yue also helped him to get his relatives to Jingyang, which can be considered as taking root and settling down.

Jing Lian wore a wooden crown on his head, held a book in his hand, and recorded it with a pencil. These are Jing Lian's duties, and the amount of tea oil needs to be strictly recorded every day. Then he pasted a seal and sent the tea oil to the mansion. He also had to record the time when workers went to work, and he had to pay the bill every day.

"Master, I have to help build the school district house tomorrow, I will not be able to come in a short time."

A strong man came over and bowed. Jing Lian nodded, "After today, I will help you settle the account."

Things are prioritized, and school district housing is more important. In winter, the output of tea oil will also decrease, and there will be no use of so many people. The Qianshou Shou cannot farm, so it is better to go out to work and earn some money to support the family. I have told him this before, and Jing Lian is also aware of it.

By noon, it’s time to have lunch. Now Jingyang basically eats three meals a day, because the work done is greatly increased, so you naturally have to fill your stomach, otherwise you will have no energy at all.

Holding the food box, Jing Lian sat at the door of the workshop. Looking at the lively tea oil workshop, his face was filled with relief. This was all built by him with great effort, and now he has achieved some results. No matter what, he has achieved some results.

Qin Shihuang stayed in Afang Palace these days and praised his tea oil. Tea oil has a unique tea aroma, and the fried dishes taste extremely fragrant, and his appetite has improved a lot. He also said that he would use this tea oil as a tribute in the future, so he had to come in more every year, and he also personally stamped the tea bucket.

Logically speaking, Jingyang is the fief of Baiji, but it still belongs to Qin. Although there is no need to pay taxes to Qin, you still have to give tributes if you should give them. Just like Lingnan, although it does not submit to Qin, it still pays tribute every year. Ivory, beeswax, and animal skins are all available.

Just as he was keeping the books, someone passed by. It was no one else, but Zhang Liang, who followed Shangniu and others to prevent Zhang Liang from escaping.

Today, Zhang Liang came out for a walk, and he wanted to come out to see Jingyang. He actually thought about what Bai Ji said carefully. He thought that Bai Ji's idea was indeed very good, at least he could restore the country. Qin was the hegemony, so it was normal to obey Qin. It was better to have it than not. He could not do this kind of mind anyway. To be honest, if he exchanged roles with Bai Ji, he would never show mercy.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Bai Ji seems so unique and seems out of place in this era. Many people don’t know him very well, and even think he is ignorant. No one understands why Bai Ji wants to spend all his wealth?

After Zhang Liang heard about Bai Ji's deeds, he wanted to come out to see it. He walked along the way and various workshops made him amazed. He had seen many Guizhou leaders, most of whom were thin and listless.

But the Qianshou in Jingyang is different. They have light in their eyes, which is the light of hope. Although most of them are still thin, their faces are always filled with smiles. Zhang Liang has never seen this smile on the Korean face. Just as Bai Ji asked him, was he planning rebellion for the sake of the people of the world or his own interests?

The answer is actually about to come out.

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and Qin State will gain the reputation of Bai Ji.

Even if they want to rebel, what can they do?

"Zhang Langjun."

After hearing the soft call, Zhang Liang turned his head in confusion.

Then he saw Jing Lian walking quickly and bowing.

"Jing, Lian, is now the owner of a tea oil shop."

"So it's you."

Zhang Liang nodded immediately.

He also heard of Jing Lian's name. His meals are also made of tea oil, and the taste is quite good. He likes drinking tea and prefers delicious foods made of tea oil.

"What's the matter?"

"Liang has a few words to say. If Langjun Zhang has time, he can sit down and listen."

Zhang Liang glanced at Shang Niu following behind him, and then agreed.

Just sit in the stone chair next to you casually.

Jing Lian smiled and said, "Lian was a surrendered soldier in Chu. When Li Xin attacked Chu, I killed many Qin people, so I made meritorious service and was named a hundred generals. After becoming a surrendered soldier, Lian had seen many people and only heard of the emperor. When he was transferred to Jingyang, he was still a little nervous and worried. After coming to Jingyang, Lian realized that he was a villain in vain..."
