Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension
Chapter 246 "Is this really happening?"
Chen's father took out the 100,000 taels of silver he had painstakingly saved over the years and asked Chen Lin to come and intercede. Now that the money had been almost spent, he thought he had won the hearts of the young masters of the prominent families and originally thought that this time the money would not be wasted.
The cold and ruthless reality lay before them, making it difficult for them to accept it for a while.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
** looked at Chen Lin coldly.
"I...Junior..." Chen Lin stammered, unable to answer. "Please understand, Your Excellency, I was reckless and offended your subordinate. I am willing to pay ten thousand taels of silver as amends."
"Oh?"
**'s interest piqued. "Ten thousand taels of silver?"
"Yes."
Chen Lin nodded solemnly, "Ten thousand taels of silver."
** He cursed loudly: "Damn it!" "I thought you were just lying, but I didn't expect you to actually do it!"
I thought Chen Lin would have to spend all his money to pay for his crime, but in the end he just paid 10,000 taels to settle the matter.
** He was instantly extremely angry, his eyes wide open with anger.
Xiao Wei kept giving Chen Lin anxious glances - at this time he was only willing to exchange money for his life?
Don’t you even look at who the other person is? How could he be short of your ten thousand taels?
"Senior, please forgive me."
"Old Father Chen is only a minor local official. He has saved up ten thousand taels over many years, and he has done his best. Please give me some time."
"Mr. Xiao, please help us." Chen Yan looked at Xiao Wei with a sad face and pleaded.
"Uncle..."
Xiao Wei hesitated for a while, but was finally moved by her tears: "Uncle, the Chen family is indeed not a wealthy family, please calm down."
Xiao Wei knelt down and begged for mercy to ** regardless of his embarrassed appearance.
** glared at each other.
This kid should not be underestimated in the future. He knew in his heart that the young man in front of him might have an extraordinary future.
After the fall of the old dynasty, Xiao Li's descendants separated and eventually established themselves in different regions: one in Yangqu, Bingzhou; the other in Gaomi, Yanzhou. With the help of old friends and relatives, they each rose to become two great aristocratic families that have lasted for thousands of years: the Yangqu Liu family and the Gaomi Liu family.
Ancient noble families often said that the old times were like a dream.
"Since they are all young men, I will let it go today."
"Mr. Chen, you made my subordinate fall down, so you should also roll up and down the stairs ten times."
Out of his promise to Fusu and a little consideration for Xiao Wei, he reduced things to the lowest standard.
Chen Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. The stairs outside were long and steep. It would be difficult to survive if she climbed up and down ten times.
"Brother Chen, hurry over there." Xiao Wei called out loudly, giving him an encouraging look. "It's rare that your uncle is willing to let you go this once. If you were in a different environment, you would have no chance of survival."
"promise."
Chen Lin gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Master Wei, come out with me."
** took Xiao Wei away.
"Brother Chen, wait a minute..."
Chen Yan felt heartbroken when she saw the predicament her brother was about to face.
** He sighed and turned to Xiao Wei, who looked embarrassed but speechless. "Don't do such useless things again. Train hard and study hard to prepare for your future ambitions. Otherwise, if you make a mistake while you're away, the people in the mansion will blame me."
After the crowd dispersed, they came forward to comfort him, "Get out of the way! I'm still in a bad mood." Wang Wei slapped away his colleague who was trying to comfort him.
You think I'm angry? I'm laughing inside!
Wang Wei's lips curled up into a bright smile. "Brother Wang, what's going on?" Everyone was confused.
The diners in the lobby looked at Chen Lin, who was standing there motionless, and the group of people not far away, whispering and talking to each other.
"Do you need someone to help you push it?" ** urged impatiently.
"promise."
Chen Lin admitted his mistake, "I understand."
He clenched his fists and gripped the guardrail tightly, preparing to dive down.
"Brother!" Chen Yan tightly
Su Yao felt a shudder, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.
** is young and fierce, but she thinks that if she commits herself to him, she might be able to gain some benefits for the family.
"This little girl is so naive!"
"Since you're willing to do anything you say, how about you two brothers and sisters each rolling around five times?"
"Why do you have to come to me?"
"Isn't this idea I came up with a good one?"
** said with a playful tone.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open. People upstairs and downstairs were also stunned.
**'s proposal seems wrong, but upon closer thought it seems to make some sense. What's going on?
"Mr. Chen, you..."
Su Yao couldn't believe that this handsome son-in-law, who was an important official in the court, would say such cruel words.
"Do you guys want to get out of here or not?"
"I'll count to three."
"If you don't move after the count of three, don't blame me for being rude."
** Pointing fingers and counting down.
"Sister, go back."
"Everyone, considering that we know each other, please take good care of her."
Lin Chen gave a warning, gently pushed his sister away, then took a deep breath and rushed down the stairs.
dong dong dong-
The continuous crashing sounds and cries of pain made everyone hold their breath. After Lin Chen finished the first round, he barely stood up with his hands, wiped the blood from his nose, and staggered up the stairs.
** His expression did not change because he had already remembered who this person was.
It turns out that the two have some subtle relationship.
Kuai Che persuaded the lord of Fanyang to surrender with words. Historical records show that he used reason to defeat the tyrant, who had terrorized the people of Fanyang for a decade, without a fight. The magistrate of Fanyang County, known for his harsh and tyrannical laws, was helpless against the rebels.
Moreover……
Ten thousand strings of cash was a huge sum of money for a local county magistrate, but it was just a small amount for a wealthy merchant family.
** His eyes grew increasingly stern.
"elder brother!"
Su Yao wanted to rush forward.
"Sister, I'm fine."
Lin Chen's face was covered in blood. He endured the severe pain and forced a smile.
** sighed softly,
"You usually act like tyrants in Fanyang, and no one disciplines you. It's your bad luck to have met me this time!"
Another series of thuds rang out. After landing for the seventh time, Lin Chen was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground.
Venus flew around, and my vision became blurry...
"Brother!" Su Yao ran over crying.
"Hey, weren't you very brave just now?"
"Why don't you let your sister roll a few laps in your place?"
No one responded to **'s taunts.
Wang Yu and other young people were stunned, as if they had suffered a great shock.
"Forget it, I won't bother with them anymore."
"let's go."
** He left with his team in a swagger.
Su Yao supported her brother who was vomiting blood, staring at his back with hatred. This is what Xianyang City looks like, full of demons and monsters!
"Brother, it is indeed His Highness outside."
"Really!"
"No wonder the palace commander said earlier that we were trying to assassinate His Highness. It turns out he was the one behind it!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, feeling both envious and powerless.

"The newly sown seeds of industrialization are now like fragile seedlings. If we don't carefully care for them and allow them to be destroyed by wind and rain, when will they be able to thrive?"
"Not to mention..."
"That famous ** Fanyang Lin County Magistrate. I heard he even sent people to Xianyang to dine, drink and have fun with the wealthy families. Clearly, his motives weren't as simple as that."
"Your Highness, if such a person insults Guodong's talent without being punished..."
** He glanced at Ziying (note: the specific name here is changed to the hypothetical character Ziying), and then changed the subject and didn't say anything unpleasant.
"Is this really happening?"
Ziying pondered for a moment with a serious expression and then nodded slightly.
Since he encountered such a thing, he couldn't just ignore it.
"I will send an envoy to investigate this matter."
** acknowledged the decision and added: "That's well done!"
While Qin's laws were harsh, they didn't drive people to despair. The Yunmeng bamboo slips, later discovered, indicate that being late by even a few days resulted in a lesser punishment, not necessarily death. However, during the reigns of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, delays due to continuous heavy rains resulted in severe punishments. This discrepancy has led many historians to question whether historical data may have been distorted. Based on my personal experience, I suspect a combination of both:
When the emperor was in power, corvée labor could be deferred without being held accountable; after Hu Hai and Zhao Gao usurped the throne, the punishment was changed to strict execution.
In ancient times, when information transmission was difficult and ordinary people were illiterate, local officials had many
While Zhang Liang was packing up his tools, he was also directing the craftsmen to take their positions in an orderly manner.
Those who pulled the rope pulled the rope, those who measured the dimensions measured. Zhang Liang climbed up and down, his inkwell in hand. Through constant practice, his hands and feet had become precise measuring tools. After each measurement, he would recheck it by counting the steps and strokes. "Old ginger is always wise." "With a huge boat and Lord Zhang personally overseeing it, we have nothing to fear." The craftsmen were filled with admiration for his superb craftsmanship.
Even experienced craftsmen would have thought twice before tackling these two massive pieces of wood. Zhang Liang was confident and acted according to the rules, which reassured everyone.
Seeing how Zhang Liang's team was busy but not chaotic, Ziying gradually understood why these craftsmen should be protected - if one wanted to accomplish great things, one must have these outstanding talents; otherwise, who would be willing to give their all to assist?
As the sun sank toward the horizon, hundreds of men worked together to pry and place the two logs parallel to each other, approximately ten feet apart. Next, Zhang Liang led his men in drawing numerous black lines on the wood. The lines appeared chaotic, but they knew exactly what each line represented. Specific markings were used to indicate cutting dimensions and subsequent processing methods.
Considering that Zhang Liang hadn't been so tired in a few days, Qin Song called an assistant to wipe his sweat when he saw that he looked tired and sweating profusely, and gave Ziying a detailed introduction to the keel processing process: the square frames on both sides that resemble windows are actually grooves for embedding the ribs of the ship. In addition to the main beams, a narrower but more solid auxiliary bone is needed on each side for support, and a pair of small but strong reinforcements are installed upwards.
Ziying nodded in understanding, his heart filled with longing for the future. "Sir, how about we sail the seas in this boat someday and see the wonders of the world?" Ziying developed a strong interest in ocean exploration, imagining the grandeur of the ship once it was finally built: "With such a large vessel, where could we not go?"
