Chapter 1502: Han Banner World 192 Decisive Battle 6

It was already dark, and in the wing room, Qin Yijian and others in the same room were snoring loudly, but Mingtai was tossing and turning. Chen Gang was a real feudal official of the Han Kingdom that he had in-depth contact with, but it was too far from what he imagined. It is not suave and romantic, nor is it brilliant in literature, nor does it have any power that can make people believe it at a glance. Instead, it is secular and citizen-friendly. In just a few words, he can make people understand how to make money and how to use the money to make money. It seems that he is not a frontier official, but a businessman.

But thinking about it carefully, Mingtai shuddered. What were the officials of the Han Dynasty thinking? They were trying every possible way to make the people make money. Of course, they also tried to collect taxes legitimately, but the taxes they received were not immediately available to them. They are not thinking about turning over the treasury to please their superiors or their emperor, but planning how to build bridges and pave roads, how to build water conservancy projects, and how to use the little money in hand to attract more money.

He is not like an official, but more like a shopkeeper, but his boss is the people under his rule.

No wonder that every time the Han conquered a land, the local people immediately surrendered and obeyed their management obediently. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Liangpier couple he met during the day. Even the future he promised No, but they are willing to sell their cold skins in Shannan County, because now their lives can truly look forward to the future, but they don't know whether they are destined to enjoy what they have given.

Their choice may be correct. If they can earn a good life without working hard, then why bother to fight with their heads high? I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

The government office was being renovated, and there were not enough houses to accommodate them, so they could only squeeze into one room. Cao Tianci even squeezed into the same room as Chen Gang. Fortunately, Chen Gang came to take office and did not bring his family with him.

Although the night was already very late, it was still very lively outside. The renovations in the government office did not stop with the arrival of night, but a group of people changed. Still working overtime, the energetic Sheriff Chen Gang of Shannan County put on his dirty official uniform again and jumped up and down outside to give orders.

There is really nothing formal about it. They were from completely different worlds from the Qin officials Mingtai himself had met. Those officials of the Qin State never tire of fine food and fine food, and they must wear brocade clothes. He is always polite and well-spoken, making people admire him at first sight, but is it easy to do it? Mingtai shook his head.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Mingtai simply walked to the window, gently opened it, and quietly looked at the workers working in the yard. These were all locals, although they were not allowed to rest at night. But all of them were smiling because Mingtai already knew how much they were paid for working at night. It is 10% higher than workers who come for free.

The Han Empire seemed to be a place where money was used to measure value everywhere and everywhere. It seemed vulgar to say it, but it was the most effective way to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. Mingtai himself was born into a wealthy family since he was a child.

After something happened to his family, the Ming family who saved him also came from a wealthy family. He was never short of money, but that didn't mean that he didn't know the pain of not having money when he was young. As a member of the Black Ice Platform, he often has to complete tasks in secret. In those days, he had seen too many heroic men choked to death because of a penny. That is not a story, but something that really exists in this world.

You can only know the honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing. You cannot ask a person to pay attention to etiquette, honor and disgrace when he is hungry. Only when the most basic survival needs are solved, can you guide people to develop a outlook on life and values. The Han State is walking on this road, and in many places in the Han Empire, they have already completed this stage.

Through Dahan Daily, Mingtai learned about many laws of the Han Empire, many of which were inconceivable to him. For example, the Compulsory Education Law. In the Han Dynasty, children over six years old, regardless of gender, must be sent to public offices. If you go to a primary school, the parents of those who violate it will be punished and many of their benefits as Han Chinese will be cancelled. One of the things Chen Gang said over the wine table during the day was that a public school would be built soon in Shannan County. The primary school admits school-age children free of charge. This guy, who is stingy even in hiring a few workers, generously spent a large sum of money to run the school. It would be fine if the person who did this was a learned man, but this guy is a businessman!

Mingtai felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. In the past, he learned many things through intelligence and the newspapers of the Han Dynasty. It always seemed like he was looking at the flowers in the fog. Only by truly getting in touch with them could he understand them. Understand how terrible they are.

Many of the beautiful visions described in the Datong society that can only be seen in the book are taking shape little by little in the Han Empire.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Gao Yuan, the man who created the name of a king that had never been seen since ancient times, graciously gave up all his power when he ascended to the top that symbolized the highest position.

Although Mingtai disagreed with the statement that all the power he claimed came from the people, he had to admit that his approach made the people support him to an unprecedented level.

The Han Kingdom was founded by him, but when he reached the peak of his power, he gave up everything he deserved. Even when he led the army to fight against Qin this time, the Great Council actually elected him as the commander-in-chief of the entire army and gave him a letter of appointment. In the eyes of the people of Qin, this may be a joke, but now Mingtai understands this. of many relationships. In the Han Dynasty, any existence that goes beyond the law will be subject to the greatest restrictions.

Gao Yuan personally put the supreme royal power in a cage and locked it. They handed the key of the lock to the representatives of the people. Mingtai could imagine that Gao Yuan would have a huge impact on the politics of Han even if he lived for one day, but it would only be once in one lifetime. When Gao Yuan is gone, the emperor who takes over will never be able to use it as firmly as Gao Yuan. His own influence grasps the trends of domestic politics, or as long as it is passed on for two or three generations, the position of emperor will truly become a spiritual leader, a symbol of a country, and a high-ranking figure, as Gao Yuan said. The Bodhisattva will no longer have any real power or influence on governance.

Or, for outstanding people, their ideas are always different from normal people, and Gao Yuan does not look like a normal person in any way. His thoughts always seem to be far ahead of the times.

Mingtai decided not to think too much. He was going to have a good sleep. When he got up tomorrow, he would follow Cao Tianci's advice and go around the Han Dynasty, from Dayan County, Jishi County, to Jicheng. This is The path Gao Yuan took back then, on this road, I might be able to understand more about Gao Yuan's thoughts.

Just when he stood up and prepared to close the window, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside. The horse stopped outside the gate of the government office, and then a man hurried over and took out a small bag from his arms. The small bamboo tube was handed to Chen Gang, who was directing the construction in the yard.

Opening the letter in the bamboo tube, Chen Gang read it hastily. First there was a look of surprise on his face, and then he burst into laughter. He lifted up his robe and ran into the bedroom where Cao Tianci was resting. This made Mingtai couldn't help but wonder what Chen Gang was. What kind of news did he receive that made him so surprised? This was not a person who would make a fuss at first glance.

But after a moment, bigger laughter came, and footsteps sounded outside, but they were coming towards him. Listening to the voices, they turned out to be Cao Tianci and Chen Gang.

"Commander Ming, are you asleep?" Cao Tianci's knock sounded outside.

Mingtai opened the door and saw that Mingtai was neatly dressed. Cao Tianci couldn't help being surprised: "Commander Ming hasn't rested yet?"

"I didn't feel sleepy, so I just got up." Mingtai said with a smile: "You two are so happy, is it because your army won the battle? Did you win Hangu Pass?"

Mingtai guessed that the only thing that could excite these two powerful people was the capture of Hangu Pass. Of course, capturing Xianyang would make them happier, but it would definitely not be enough given the time. , now hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered in Xianyang. Although most of them are farmers who have just put down their hoes, even if there are hundreds of thousands of pigs, it will not take three or two days to cut them all down at once.

"Ugly people tend to do mischief. Commander Ming, their General Lu has made another move, but this move is really beyond our expectations. It's really unexpected, unexpected!" Cao Tianci smiled and put the hand in his hand. The letter was handed to Mingtai.

"The news came from Xianyang that Qin Wangchan was located in the great general Lu Chao. That's okay. Originally, Lu Chao was now the de facto king of Qin. But Lu Chao ascended the throne one day and claimed to be emperor the next day. He really was It's so ridiculous." Cao Tianci shook his head repeatedly.

Mingtai opened the letter in his hand, looked at the content on the paper carefully, and shook his head with a wry smile: "He is really crazy. Now Xianyang itself is in a storm. If he does this, isn't he going to give some people away again?" Are you pushing yourself far away?"

"Or he is using this to find out his opponents and potential opponents, and then boil them all in one pot. I know that now Lu Chao is desperately searching for money, food and grass. This move of his may arouse Due to the fierce resistance of the Ying family nobles in Xianyang City, he took this opportunity to make a fortune. He gathered hundreds of thousands of people outside Xianyang City to build fortifications, forts, and weapons. This was not just a waste of time. Spend money!" Chen Gang analyzed from a businessman's perspective: "Lu Chao is not crazy, he is smart!"

Mingtai shook his head and returned the letter to Cao Tianci: "I will set off tomorrow. First, I will go to Dayan County to visit the seniors there, and then I will set off from Dayan County to Jicheng, just like you said Then, take a good look.”

"That's very good, but I can't accompany you anymore. His Majesty the Emperor has arrived in Jinyang. I have to rush there, but I have arranged for someone to lead the way for you."

"Thank you very much." (To be continued.)
