Reborn Cat: Are you my shit shoveling officer?

"Brother, Xiaoyue doesn't need it." Xiaoyue said weakly from the side.

Cui Wenzi thought for a while: "In this way, you are also successful in cultivation. You should see that my strength is not inferior to yours. Let me give you a guarantee. If I know that your sister is killed in the future, I will do my best to save her."

"It's not too bad! Come, taste the royal wine that His Majesty rewarded me!" Gao Yao was satisfied now. The last time he made a breakthrough in Xuangong and gained some mental strength, he discovered that this old Cui was also a secret person. master.

The world is so big, there are so many strange people and strange things.

After eating and drinking enough, Gao Yao took Xiaoyue to leave, and had to go to the palace to arrange a job for her.

After going out, Yi Xiaochuan came back, and was a little surprised to see Xiaoyue from a distance: "Gao Lan?"

But he didn't go to say hello, he had already had a falling out with Gao Yao, and he still couldn't hold back his face.

Back at the tavern, when he was on the wine table, Yi Xiaochuan picked up the wine pot and drank it all in one gulp: "The sweet fragrance is clear, good wine. Old Cui, what does Gao want to do with you? Could it be that he has been promoted again?"

"He's a good guy who yells everywhere. I think he'll be dragged down sooner or later."

Cui Wenzi shook his head and laughed.

"Haven't you heard the storyteller's words, the wind starts at the end of Qingping, or ends in the grass, or roars in the sky. This person has ups and downs all his life, who can predict the future."

Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he continued to ask: "Why is that Gao Lan here?"

Cui Wenzi looked puzzled: "Gao Lan? Gao Yao told me that his new sister is called Xiaoyue!"

"Xiaoyue?" Yi Xiaochuan was thoughtful.

Chapter 0174 long live

Outside Xianyang City, tens of miles northeast, Fuping County.

Winter is over, spring plowing is over, and the annual corvee has begun again. The atmosphere in every family from the county to the village is very dull.

As a parent, it is the most difficult choice to choose one of the boys in the family. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

And the kids were begging not to be picked.

In previous years, the corvée had high mountains and long roads, and if you go ten times, less than one or two may come back. Even if you can come back, you will often have a serious illness, and your body will almost collapse, and you will die soon.

Although water conservancy and roads are being built this year, they are nearby, but according to the urinating nature of those officials, they can't get enough to eat, and they have to catch up with the projects.

Zhao Shan, with a sad face, followed behind the officials. Apart from his wife and children, he was the only man in his family, so he could only come to serve.

He didn't dare to run away, otherwise the neighbors would catch him back. Daqin's continuous sitting system is too ruthless.

Thinking about his infant child, Zhao Shan felt desolate. If he died, what would the orphan and widow do?It will definitely be eaten up!

"Brothers, hurry up, there will be a full meal at the 'construction site' at night, if anyone feels uncomfortable, tell me, there is a doctor and medicine in the carriage behind!" Although the official sent a knife, his tone was unprecedented polite.

Zhao Shan and the others were a little strange, but they still speeded up. The politeness of others may be due to their good temper.

However, have enough food?Zhao Shan and others swallowed.

Daqin has two types of land rent tax and mouth money (poll tax), which is almost half of the annual income of a normal farmer who works hard on the land.

And his family only has him as a labor force, and the family has less food after paying the tax. Sometimes, they can only eat two meals a day, the kind that is crystal clear, and it is a luxury for him matter.

In the evening, Zhao Shan and others rushed to the construction site that the official said, and a little guy fell into a coma on the way and was actually sent to the carriage and brought here.

Arriving at the construction site, wooden houses have been built here, with 10 people per room. Basically, people in a village or a county are living separately, probably because they are afraid that acquaintances will get together and mutiny.

After getting a clean mattress and 'work clothes', Zhao Shan is stupid, his life at home is not so good.After that, they lined up to get dinner, each with a big wheat pancake and a bowl of hot soup. Zhao Shan cried while eating.

There was salt in the pancakes, and the soup was a little greasy. He hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long time.

"Listen up, everyone. You are all citizens of my Great Qin. Your Majesty is benevolent. During this corvee, each of you will have two dry meals a day. If you perform well, we will give you extra meat!

If you feel unwell, please notify the guards in time. There are doctors on the construction site who will help you see a doctor. "

"By the way, during the corvee period, each of you will receive a copper coin per day. The team will progress faster, and the wages for high-quality workers will be doubled!"

"Bring you here in good condition, and send them back intact. This is His Majesty's request! Of course, if you steal and play tricks, then don't blame Qin Fa for being ruthless!" A man in a black robe and a tall hat It seems to belong to an official, shouting with a strange tool, and the voice is quite loud.

Two dry meals, still have money?Hearing this, Zhao Shan couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt down facing Xianyang.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Immediately, as if making an appointment, everyone knelt down to Xianyang and bowed three times.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live!"

Since ancient times, the dreams of many ordinary farmers are really small. They are very satisfied if they can eat enough and live well. If they can marry a wife and have children, it will be a great happiness.

But some people just want to ruin it all for their own ambition or greed.

......

In Xianyang Palace, Gao Yao took Xiaoyue to find the chief eunuch.

"Brother Zhao, look, I will leave the matter of my sister to you!" Gao Yao said after explaining the situation to the manager.

The head manager pondered for a moment, then smiled, "It's a trivial matter, your brother Gao Xian's younger sister is my younger sister. In this way, I will arrange for her to serve in Concubine Li's Hall of Mental Cultivation first, and then I will promote her after a period of time according to the system."

"Concubine Li? How do you arrange where to go?" Gao Yao was taken aback, isn't that Yi Xiaochuan's friend?

The steward looked around and made sure there was no one to say: "Brother Gao Xian, recently His Majesty often stays in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he has been rewarded a lot. And according to the servants, Concubine Li has a good temper, treats the servants kindly, and does nothing wrong." punish."

Gao Yao nodded, it was indeed a good place.In the past few days, he has also noticed that Xiaoyue is timid and easily bullied at first sight, and this kind of place is just right for her.

"Then thank you Brother Zhao! Xiaoyue, don't thank you!" Gao Yao gave Xiaoyue a look.

Xiaoyue quickly squatted slightly and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

"Hey, what's the name of the manager? I'm sorry. From now on, Xiaoyue will call me brother Zhao just like Brother Gao Xian, hahaha!" The chief manager laughed.

This interpersonal relationship is that you help me and I help you.He could see that, with His Majesty's high opinion of Gao Yao, the day of his prosperity is not far away, and this is the right time to invest.

"From now on, brother Zhao's business is my business. If there is something to do, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!" Gao Yao assured his chest, he was always respected by others, and he respected others.

"Okay! Brother Gao Xian, cheers!"

"Dry."

Xiaoyue next to her silently poured wine for the two elder brothers, her mood suddenly brightened, and no one can bully her in the palace anymore!

Brother is so nice!

......

Outside Xianyang City, dense forest.

Xiang Yu led a group of people to secretly observe the newly built concrete road at the foot of the mountain, feeling a little dazed.

Why is there such a thing in this world? It was originally water, but when it was poured on the ground, it dried up in a few days and became a road.The key is that this road is indestructible and smooth as a mirror.

Even if he held a [-]-jin spear, it would take a little effort to destroy a section of the cement road. The key is to waste weapons and a lot of strength, and just turn around and pour a little cement to level it out.

Is this reasonable?

They can imagine that if this kind of road is spread in Daqin, Daqin's army can support any part of Daqin in a short time, so how can they rebel?

Xiang Yu clenched his fists when he thought of the scene where the first emperor was traveling in a car and all the people were escorted by officials to welcome him.

Although there are three households in Chu, if Qin dies, Chu must be replaced by Chu!

"Cement, cement! That's right!" Xiang Yu suddenly remembered that Brother Xiaochuan said last time that he knew how to construct this cement, so would he also know how to destroy this road?

Half a day later, Yi Xiaochuan was found.

Xiang Yu stepped forward and held Yi Xiaochuan's shoulders: "Brother Xiaochuan, we have worshiped each other, we have the same blessings and share the same hardships, and now I encounter a big difficulty and need your help."

Yi Xiaochuan nodded seriously: "You said?"

Xiang Yu then pointed to the concrete road over there: "I want to know how to quickly destroy this road."

Yi Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, and fell into deep thought. It seems that only explosives can destroy this thing at will, right?But if he explained the method of explosives now, and the first emperor died of illness in the future, would it be that Chu State would rule the world.

After all, dynamite is too powerful, and no tactics seem to work, just push it all the way.

After thinking for a while, Yi Xiaochuan still decided to hide it, and said with a confident smile: "I know that big brother has the world in mind, so don't worry about the construction of the road. Have you seen those corvee farmers?"

"The tyranny of the Great Qin Dynasty, these peasants died in corvée every time, and they were already dissatisfied, and their hostility accumulated. No one dared to touch Yingzheng while he was alive, but his sudden death, as long as he is given a little guidance, it will definitely lead to riots in the world."

Xiang Yu was stunned: "But Ying Zheng was only 40 years old, and he was at the height of his age. How could he die suddenly? And those civilian husbands who served in the army, I saw them smiling very happily!"

When Yi Xiaochuan heard this, he looked carefully at the folks who built the road, each of them was smiling, and they worked harder than each other.

Really, what's going on?

He raised his head, exchanged a glance with Xiang Yu, and looked at each other in blank dismay. Are these people sick?What a joy to work!

Half an hour later, when the subordinates came back after inquiring about the situation, everyone knew how these farmers were treated.There is food, drink, a place to live with free clothes and bedding, and money, and even extra money and meat if you perform well, and you can take a break to see a doctor when you are sick.

Those subordinates who followed Xiang Yu were a little jealous when they heard this treatment, how could they still recruit people?They all want to do it.

Yi Xiaochuan was also stunned, what's the matter with such a good treatment?

Impossible, as far as he knew, the first emperor knew that his health was getting worse and worse. These years should be militarism, and he wanted to lay an eternal foundation for future generations in a few years.

It's unreasonable to raise people slowly like this now?

Could it be that Emperor Shihuang is in good health?Yi Xiaochuan panicked for a moment.

No, you have to find someone to confirm.

......

In Xianyang Palace, after Ying Zheng painstakingly signed to confirm the huge expenses of the dining room, he continued to handle official business.

The chief manager came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, today's inventory of No. [-] warehouse is missing a deep sea night pearl."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Have you found out who did it?"

Daqin is rich all over the world, and it doesn't matter to him if he lacks a treasure.But if that person dared to take his Ye Mingzhu today, would he dare to kill him tomorrow?

"The slave asked the Black Ice Terrace to investigate, and only found this in the warehouse, and there was no trace of the rest. According to the dust inside, it should have been lost for a while." The chief executive took out a strange thing from his arms.

Ying Zheng took a closer look and found it was a pulley, thought for a while and ordered: "Go and make an edict, all food, drink, and play in Xianyang Palace from now on will belong to Tmall.

After the edict is completed, you go and show it to Tmall, and after he presses the paw prints for confirmation, then tell him about Ye Mingzhu. "

"Let's say there is a villain who is so bold that he dares to steal his things!"

When the chief executive heard this, he hesitated to speak, and finally nodded: "No!"

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing!"

"speak."

"The initial construction of the Chidao outside Xianyang City went smoothly, and there were very few casualties among the peasants except for a few accidents. But recently, an unknown force appeared and often took advantage of the night to destroy the frozen Chidao. Should we send the Black Ice Platform to investigate. "

"check!"

"promise!"

Yingzheng suddenly thought of a good idea: "Recently, I buy some live birds from folk hunters and raise them well."

"No!" The steward hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, any bird will do?"

"Flying fast! Good at concealment."

"promise!"

"By the way, how is Gao Yao's recent Qin Law study?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly.

The chief steward quickly replied: "The slave asked Gao Yao to study under the Prime Minister Li Si's door. I asked the prime minister yesterday when he was in court. Gao Yao's study progressed very fast, and now he can memorize the laws of Qin by heart."

"It's the Analects of Confucius. Gao Yaofei said that his understanding is correct, and no one will listen to what others say." The manager hesitated when he said this, but he is a member of Yingzheng, and loyalty is the first element.

"Haha~" Ying Zheng laughed: "Don't worry about the Analects of Confucius. In this way, when you go to announce the edict to Tmall, tell Gao Yao by the way, learn more recently, and I will use him again in a few days."

"promise!"

"Okay, let's go!" Ying Zheng waved his hand and continued to instruct the official letter submitted today.

Recently, various government offices began to popularize paper. Those officials found that writing on paper was much easier than bamboo slips, and each of them feared that others would not know that he had literary talent, and he could write hundreds or even thousands of words on a trivial matter.

I can see that he is tireless!

He has already decided to order that all future official intelligence should not exceed 300 words!Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to read all the affairs of counties and counties in one day.
