Xiao He expressed his plan.

After Xiao He finished speaking, Cao Shen frowned...

"The situation is unclear now. Although the higher-ups intend to promote water wheels and curved plows, this is after all from the eldest son's mouth. If His Majesty learns of this and objects to it, then we..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Liu Bang couldn't help but laugh...

"Old Liu, what are you laughing at?"

Cao Shen looked at Liu Bang...

"I'm laughing at you, Lao Cao, for being so timid!"

"As the saying goes, fortune comes with risk. If there really is a job that can make you rich without any risk, how can it be our turn? Everyone else is rushing to do it, and it doesn't show our ability!"

"I think we should follow what Old Xiao said. Moreover, this is a matter of great benefit to the people. As long as Pei County is well governed, it will not be difficult for Old Xiao to rise to prominence. Moreover, His Majesty will retire one day. If the eldest son is incompetent, it would be fine. But now the eldest son is obviously not incompetent. Even if he is investigated afterwards, when the eldest son completely takes the throne, Old Xiao will have a bright future!"

Liu Bang was obviously much bolder.

"I'll do this business!"

Liu Bang made the decision suddenly.

"My brother did it, so I will do it too!"

Fan Kuai, who was at the side, was confused, but when he heard Liu Bang say he wanted to do it, he immediately decided to do it too...

"Hahahahaha, okay, let's do it together!"

Xiao He also laughed.

Although the Qin Dynasty was unpopular at that time, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Liu Bang were all government officials in the Qin system. They had never thought of rebellion, but they all had the dream of getting promoted and making money....

At present, the channels for officials to rise in career were still imperfect, and the imperial examination system had not yet appeared. Officials basically relied on recommendations or nominations. Xiao He's plan was to directly spread the water wheels and curved plows, introduce them into the field, govern Pei County well, and support Fusu's policies in the hope of gaining the attention of the court.

As long as someone in the court pays attention to him, or even if no one pays attention to him, he can go to Xianyang and move around. With his outstanding political achievements and the willingness to support Fusu's strategy, he will most likely rise to the top!

This rising up does not refer to the ordinary promotion of officials in later generations, but the real rising up!

As long as the emperor thinks you have ability, you may be a county magistrate yesterday and a prime minister the next day. Yes, it is that awesome!

This is also what Liu Bang said: wealth and honor are sought in danger.

Compared to the wealth, the risk is not that big!

At this time, Cao Shen, who was standing by, saw that Xiao He, Liu Bang, and Fan Kuai had already made their decision, so he stopped hesitating and joined the group directly.

According to his position, he was just a warden and had no decision-making power over county affairs. As long as Xiao He decided to promote the waterwheel and the curved plow, basically the entire system of Pei County would follow suit. Opposition was futile, so he simply joined in and did it together.

..........

Liu Bang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and Fan Kuai began a drastic campaign to promote water wheels and curved plows in Pei County.

There are not many counties like theirs, but there are some.

Some far-sighted county magistrates or those who wanted to bet on Fusu's camp also began to promote it like Xiao He did...

Of course, not all of them are utilitarian, some of them are truly working for the people.

Seeing the great role that the waterwheel and the curved plow played in the lives of the people, I was willing to promote these two items as soon as possible...

Of course, this promotion requires a lot of money, which the county government has to bear. Although most county governments want to promote it, they are powerless. At the same time, some do not dare to gamble even if they have the ability. After all, if problems arise in the county due to unauthorized use of the treasury's silver, the county magistrate will be directly responsible...
