Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 342 Zhao Sisheng’s shrines spread all over Shanxi

"Respect? Love?"

The First Emperor smiled lightly and didn't seem to feel much.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The First Emperor rarely cared about other people's opinions. For a king who was independent and decisive, reputation and reputation were just the opinions of the people of the time and had nothing to do with him.

Achieving your goal is the most important thing.

The First Emperor had only one purpose, to strengthen centralization of power!

Zhao Si cleverly changed the concept and gave the First Emperor a new choice.

It makes Qian Shou's life a little better in this era, no, not slightly. For Qian Shou, it is a great blessing that the tax from [-]% to [-]% is reduced.

This is something Qian Shou will never forget in his life.

Regardless of whether the First Emperor cared about the change in Guizhou's attitude toward him and the change in his image among the people.

It has indeed happened.

When Zhao Si accompanied the First Emperor to watch spring plowing, an ironic thing happened in the distant Shanyang.

Because there are government notices posted, and tax reduction is a major event that affects everyone in the world, even in ancient times when news did not spread quickly, more than a month was enough, as long as it was not a particularly remote and uninhabited place. Everyone knows.

Da Qin has reduced taxes!
The Qin State has always placed heavy emphasis on corvee and taxation, but now it is uncharacteristic of the norm. With such a sharp contrast, naturally some people spontaneously spread rumors.

As a result, various gossips spread, and outside Guanzhong, because of stereotypes, naturally they would not attribute all the credit to the First Emperor like the old Qin people with their upright and prosperous roots.

The First Emperor was essentially an invader to them. Coupled with the good show in the court, the reputation naturally fell on Zhao Si, the pillar of the country who was not afraid of life and death and remonstrated directly.

And Shan Yang...

It was the place where Zhao Si had made briquettes before.

The people of Shanyang had close contact with Zhao Si.

The First Emperor was forced to stay in Shanyang due to heavy snow during his grand tour of the world. As a result, the people had no firewood to survive the winter. They risked their lives to collect coal for heating, but the Zheng family forcibly charged them for flint. Zhao Si was angry and killed people, and everyone in the Zheng family was arrested. .

Not to mention that Zhao Si later produced briquettes and earthen stoves. For this reason, he spared no effort to help local people build earthen stoves in the Shanyang area.

Later, coal earth stoves spread in Shanyang and even nearby areas, and Zhao Si's reputation spread widely in Shanxi.

There are many coal mines in Shanxi, and coal and earth stoves are used during the winter, and Zhao Si is always mentioned.

Therefore, the people in Shanyang area have long believed that Zhao Si is a good official, although they do not know what kind of official Zhao Si is.

But Zhao Si must be a good person.

Although he could not repay his kindness, there is no doubt that Zhao Si's reputation in Shanxi has become even greater. After all, he had a reputation before.

So in the Shanxi area, especially Shanyang, old general Wang Jian kept silent, and someone actually built a shrine to Zhao Si.

The tax reduction benefited the people all over the world, which was of great significance. Many places in the world built shrines to Zhao Si, especially in Shanxi.

In the Shanxi area, Shanxi is particularly important.

Especially in Shanyang, almost every household has a shrine. After the government posted a notice, they spontaneously gathered to pray for Zhao Si, and wealthy households organized gatherings for it...

It can be said that if Zhao Si goes to Shanxi to become an official, as long as he has four people, everything will go smoothly.

Because Zhao Si has been completely trusted in this area.

But that's not the point of the problem...

Shanyang...

The township market was crowded with people.

After all, there are people who know how to do business. Daqin's tax reduction has been reduced from [-] to [-], which means that more fruits of labor will become the savings of the Guizhou leaders.As income increases, the enthusiasm for labor will increase accordingly, Guizhou's motivation will also increase exponentially, and expectations for the future will also rise linearly.

Not to mention the mood, the days when the notices are posted are almost the same as the Chinese New Year for the common people.

How many days have you had fun during the Chinese New Year?We will have to continue to suffer in the future, but reducing taxes is something that will benefit our entire life and even future generations.

What is this called? The market is improving, and wealthy households in the countryside have a keen insight into the market.

Coupled with Zhao Si's reputation in the Shanyang area and the move of every household to build a shrine.

Therefore, what was originally a small gathering to purchase grain planting tools before spring plowing was replaced by a large gathering to pray for Zhao Si.

I’m really grateful for the business, half and half...

After all, wealthy households also have to pay taxes and inherit Zhao Si's affection.

After changing the name, this gathering was extremely grand.

The people of Shanyang are really grateful to Zhao Si and are really willing to pray for Zhao Si.

Holding a market before spring plowing is an act permitted by the government and is not an unusual gathering.

There were also county officials to protect the assembly.

It's just that this year there was a little surprise because of the different gimmicks.

In the Qin State, the laws are strict, and there is no human kindness outside the laws.

All large-scale activities such as sacrifices that are not recognized by the government are considered obscene temples.

So the question is, is this gathering a normal market gathering or a temple for obscenity?

After all, the gimmick of praying for Zhao Si was clearly displayed, and the local people in Shanyang almost went door to door, and everyone had a shrine in their home.

However, Zhao Si was firstly a living person, and secondly, he was the Shangqing of the Qin Dynasty. It is really difficult to determine the large-scale gathering held with Zhao Si as a gimmick.

But the officials don’t care about so many...

It is worth mentioning that the status of officials in the Qin Dynasty was completely different from that of officials in later generations.

In later dynasties, it was almost difficult for officials to be promoted to official positions. Even if they could be promoted, they would be at the bottom of the contempt chain.

However, in the Qin Dynasty, the status of officials was very special, and the background of officials was politically correct. This was a system developed by Li Si to check and balance the recommendation system. Officials promoted by officials were inherently superior to others.

Therefore, county magistrates and other officials do not have absolute authority over officials.

The only absolute authority for officials is the "Qin Code".

As a result, the large gathering held in Shanyang was stopped and banned on the spot by the supervisory officials.

And the wealthy households who organized the organization were imprisoned one by one.

Shanyang County Magistrate had a headache... the officials also acted according to Qin laws, so he could only ask his immediate superior, the county magistrate, for help on what to do.

The county guard didn’t know what to do either…

So at this special moment, such a farce-like incident unfolded in the court.

Shanyang County Magistrate looked at the officials in front of him who were studying hard with Qin Fa in their arms.

"You have really hurt me..." The county magistrate sighed.

The county magistrate had to report it in person, and the county magistrate of Shanyang was quite famous.

But it won't work without reporting it. After all, Zhao Si's situation is special, and the current Qin law happens to be unsolvable. If the nature of it is not finalized now, it may become a basis for criticizing Zhao Si in the future.
