Chapter 35 Hepu Pearl Returns, Grass is worse than Pine!
Half a month later, Qin Shihuang returned to Jingyang in a carriage.
Along the way, I passed Xiaoze Township, and the road was wide and covered with snow were cleaned. I couldn't be far away and I could see a brand new thatched cottage. There was also a prisoner wearing a gauze mask, wearing a black cloth on his right arm. He pushed a thick wooden cart, and there was a large wooden barrel on the car board, and even if he was covered with a lid, he could smell the stinking.
"He moves very quickly."
Meng Yi pulled down the curtain and spoke with a smile. "In just half a month, there were more than 20 thatched cottages in Xiaoze Township, and there were also prisoners in the local area responsible for daily cleaning. I heard that someone violated Qin's law a few days ago and was severely fined 100 yuan."
"If I come, I will punish those who abandon ashes on the street!"
Qin Shihuang hummed heavily. Abiding by Qin's laws is the obligation of every old Qin man. Local clans have their own rules, and Qin Shihuang does not need to interfere. If it is a heavy fine of 100 yuan, it is better to teach them a lesson. The smaller the place, the harder it is to manage some people. It is okay in Futu Pavilion, but will the rest of the Guizhou Headquarters in Xiaoze Township accept Zhuocao?
Zhuocao's rules are only applicable to local areas and cannot be cared about. But when you look along the way, Xiaoze Township is in a regular manner in the thatched cottage. Almost no one violates them, regardless of men, women, age and age.
"Can the Guizhou Heads of Xiaoze Township behave like a rule?"
Qin Shihuang was very surprised.
Could it be that Zhuo Cao has been upgraded to a rural husband?
"Ahem, I heard from the spy. He gave some sweet potatoes to the other pavilions and asked them to help. The pavilions were unwilling to refuse, so they all agreed. In addition, it was more convenient to have a thatched cottage, and would never be seen in the mountains or forests, or encountered snakes, insects and wild animals. Previously, the head of Guizhou was bitten by a poisonous snake and died in the end."
"This... the coward!"
Qin Shihuang was so angry that he was itchy.
He can't encourage this kind of unhealthy trend!
"In fact, it's a good thing, which is conducive to promoting sweet potatoes."
"That won't happen either!"
As we chatted, we soon arrived at the gate of Zhuo Mansion.
"Guangzi, you are back!"
"Yeah, are you still alive?"
"Ahem cough cough..."
The smile on Qin Shihuang's face disappeared instantly.
Full of joy, nothing happened.
Zhuo Cao stretched his waist and felt angry when he saw that the other party was empty. He gave him a lot of private brews, thinking of asking Qin Shihuang to go to Xianyang to help promote, but Mao didn't even see the root.
Zhuo Ziyun: Eggs cannot be placed in a basket. Just relying on Li Shu, I always feel that it is a bit unreliable. What should I do if I really sell him one day?
Even if this stupid father is a little stupid, he is still a close relative. Even if he is not reliable, he will never cheat him. Besides, he has the right to make wine and sell wine now, so why do he have to give the thief-eyed Li Shu a portion? Even if he continues to cooperate, the price will be discussed again.
"Money?"
"What's the money?"
Qin Shihuang didn't understand why.
"Where are the dried vermicelli sweet potatoes I gave you?"
"Eat."
"What did you eat?"
"Of course!"
“…”
Zhuo Cao closed the heavy door without thinking.
Whoever loves this father wants, he wants to cut off the father-son relationship!
Bang--
Qin Shihuang and Meng Yi looked at each other and were stunned.
"Grass! Open the door!"
"Uh, I will definitely kill you after I go in!"
Meng Yi was amused and crying at this moment. The dignified Emperor Shihuang would have been rejected for one day. This is also a fault with Qin Shihuang. There is no need to say it after eating. Isn’t it okay to bring some money?
Finally, the door opened.
Qin Shihuang's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling with hatred.
Meng Yi quickly stood up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Young master misunderstood that parents have to set up a banquet to entertain guests in Xianyang, and the expenses are quite good. Many people have tasted vermicelli and dried sweet potatoes. They all say they taste good and want to buy it. This jade ring was given by a giant businessman."
As he said that, he took out a jade ring from his arms like a magic trick.
It is probably the size of copper coins, made of blue field white jade, with patterns engraved around it. Jade rings were a very common gift during this period, and it was renovated and recognized. For example, if a dismissed minister gets the jade ring sent by the king, he will learn that the king will call him back.
Xunzi once said: Ask a scholar to use a jade, summon people to use a yellow, and then cut off people to use a ring, and then cut off people to use a ring.
Zhuo Cao then showed a little smile, held the jade ring and looked at them carefully, and after a long time, he looked at the two of them. "You shouldn't have been cheated, right? The jade ring is rough in texture, and you can tell at a glance that it's not worth much."
tnd, don't want it, just return it to me!
Rough texture?
What's not worth?
This is a beautiful jade given by the emperor!
In the past, when Li Xin attacked Chu, Meng Tian became a deputy general, but he returned with great defeat. Qin Shihuang gave him a jade ring alone, which meant that he would come back.
After Meng Tian accepted it, he threatened to make military achievements to serve the King of Qin. Later, in the battle to destroy Qi, Meng Tian successfully defeated the Qi army. This jade ring was presented to Qin Shihuang, and it was difficult to accept the ones sent out, so he gave it to Meng Yi. Through this jade ring, the status of the Meng family was also confirmed.
If it weren't for the smooth operation, he would have taken it out reluctantly.
Who would have thought that Zhuo Cao would even choose?!
"Young Master, do you understand jade?"
"don't know."
"and you……"
"But I understand you, I will definitely be deceived."
"The coward will die!"
Before coming, Qin Shihuang was quite happy. He thought that he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and Zhuo Cao would probably miss him very much. The result was that he had nothing to say good things to listen to.
After some trouble, the inside and outside of the mansion were filled with joy.
Sitting around the kang, Qin Shihuang pulled over his coat and covered his legs.
"Cao, I've asked you for your inquiry in Xianyang, and said you're going to be promoted again!"
"Xijun said this and changed his title to a doctor."
A few days ago, Xi came to Fututing and took away 50,000 stone sweet potatoes. They also had herb wine, vermicelli and dried sweet potatoes. These were all samples and had to be handed over to Qin State. Before leaving, he told him these things. The conditions were agreed to the conditions that the title was promoted to the doctor, and all corvee service could be exempted.
In addition, Xi also recommended him as the new villager of Ozawa Township. Seeing Zhuo Cao having a prosperous life in Ozawa Township, Xi praised it very much. It happened that the former villager of Ozawa Township had been dismissed, and it was very suitable for Zhuo Cao to take over.
"Why, are you not satisfied?"
“Isn’t this nonsense?”
Qin Shihuang's face suddenly turned dark.
This coward is really a burden!
"Think about it, I have a total of 50,000 stones of auspiciousness, how much effort can I save them? But I was given a title of doctor! Previously, the emperor, Mount Tai, was sheltered from the pine trees, and without saying a word, he named the pine trees as the five doctors. I... I am not as good as a pine tree!"
“…”
"The young master asked for money, otherwise he would have considered him the five doctors."
"You mean I'm just like a pine tree?"
"No, no, you are much better than pine trees."
"Pooh!"
Qin Shihuang was amused and crying.
After a long time, it's because of this?
"Don't worry, the emperor has not made sure this time. When the sweet potatoes are ripe next year, I believe they will continue to promote you. Before you can win, you will be jealous of the successive promotions and even more praise. You don't understand the emperor's good intentions."
"I almost believed it."
"What?"
"You still only know how to look at the surface and don't understand the emperor's true intention."
"What's his intention?"
