Chapter 289 What the People Want The voices of the people on both sides of the road talking about each other fell into Yi Xiaochuan's ears. Yi Xiaochuan's heart felt as if he had been stabbed with countless knives. It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. It seems that He now has a certain reputation in Xianyang City, but it's not a positive one!
Yi Xiaochuan wanted to slip out of this crowded place as soon as possible. however. What was very embarrassing was that he was surrounded by people from all four directions. No matter which direction you want to go from, it is not easy. Yi Xiaochuan panicked for a moment,
When he came to the street today, he was actually going in the direction of Zhao Che's house. Originally,
He wanted to find an opportunity to find Zhao Che, or someone close to Zhao Che, and hand the confession he had worked so hard to write into Zhao Che's hands. I want to obtain Zhao Che's forgiveness in this way. He completely gave up. He also doesn’t plan to continue fighting with Zhao Che. He had been fighting with Zhao Che for such a long time, and the final result was that he was completely defeated and fell into the current situation where it was difficult to even save his life. Yi Xiaochuan panicked. He also doesn’t want to preserve history. I don't want to kneel down and lick anyone. What he wants to do now is to live well and have enough food and clothing. It would be the best if he could have the opportunity to travel back to the next life. This was the only extravagant hope in his heart. Yi Xiaochuan chose a direction with fewer people and prepared to climb out with difficulty. If he continues to stay here, he will only become the laughing stock of more people. Unexpectedly, After he climbed a few steps, His way was directly blocked by a burly man. The burly man glared at Yi Xiaochuan and said, "Yi Xiaochuan, I heard that you have gone against Imperial Master Zhao Che over and over again?" "No, no." Yi Xiaochuan sensed that the visitor was evil, and he could only shake his head.
"Yi Xiaochuan, do you still dare to deny it? Imperial Master Zhao Che is the nobleman and benefactor of thousands of ordinary people. Anyone who goes against Imperial Master Zhao Che is going against thousands of people in the Qin Dynasty." The burly man once again glanced at Yi Xiaochuan with extremely sharp eyes. After the sturdy man finished speaking, The people around him were all echoing and nodding. Here, it became an uproar again. "This righteous man is right. Imperial Master Zhao Che is indeed a noble person for our thousands of ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty. It was the Imperial Master who discovered sweet potatoes and potatoes, the magical crops that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre, allowing the people of Great Qin to , can fill your stomach.” After the sturdy man finished speaking, an elderly man in his sixties immediately stood up and echoed. As he spoke, his eyes were full of tears of excitement. In this era, the most important thing for ordinary people is not to go hungry. Without the emergence of sweet potatoes and potatoes, crops with high yields, famines often occurred in the Qin Dynasty, and countless people had starved to death in the past. Now, with the emergence of Quyuan plow and sweet potatoes, there will no longer be a common people in Daqin who starve to death. What the old man said just now directly resonated with all the people present. After the old man finished speaking just now, A young scholar-looking man stood up,
He said loudly: "Yes, what the old gentleman said is very good. I think that besides sweet potatoes and potatoes, there is another invention that is also groundbreaking." "That is paper and the imperial examination. The inventors of these two are Zhao Che. It was Zhao Che who gave thousands of scholars from poor families the opportunity to change their destiny through reading." "The emergence of paper not only facilitates writing, but more importantly, it facilitates the spread of knowledge. Many scholars who come from remote or poor families also have the opportunity to learn the most advanced knowledge." "Although I am a scholar, I am strong-willed. If anyone goes against my benefactor Zhao Che, I will be the first to refuse and stand up to resist!" This young scholar comes from a very poor family. It was the imperial examination instituted by Zhao Che that filled his life with hope, and he became extremely motivated when reading and studying every day. The imperial examinations benefited thousands of poor students. "Yes! I am the same! It's a pity that it is the first imperial examination this year. My mother is ill and needs to be taken care of and cannot participate. I must participate in the imperial examination next year..." Another man who looked like a scholar stood up and spoke righteously. "By the way, in addition to sweet potatoes, potatoes, plows, and imperial examinations, I want to say one more thing, which is also very important, that is, Zhao Che also made fine salt!" "With the addition of fine salt, even if you eat boiled vegetables every day, it will feel extra sweet and delicious," A middle-aged woman stood up and talked nonstop. When she spoke, her tone was particularly excited.
Everything expressed in his words was gratitude to Zhao Che. In her heart, Zhao Che is like a god.
The importance of salt is really self-evident. People can avoid eating oil and meat, but they cannot avoid eating salt. After eating salt, soldiers have the strength to fight, and ordinary people have the strength to farm.
"Yes!! Fine salt really benefits every one of us in Daqin" "It turns out that after those old people from the six countries have lived such a luxurious life, no one has the spare time to plan for the restoration of the country!" Another middle-aged man among them stood up and said something. He originally lived in the Chu State and was a citizen of the Chu State.
In the past six months, by chance, he came to live in Xianyang City. After coming to Xianyang, he realized how happy it was to be a citizen of Da Qin. Not only fine salt, potatoes and sweet potatoes are available. And you can also take the imperial examination. No matter what their background is, everyone has the opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate. It can also be said that after arriving in Xianyang, he had forgotten that he was once a native of Chu. "Yes! Another very important point is that Zhao Che also has another identity. He is also Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi, and he controls 30 Meng family troops." "So, I believe that one day in the near future, those evil-doing, rampant and vicious Huns will be wiped out at close range." The speaker is a retired Qin veteran. Although he is no longer in the army, he is still thinking about the affairs of Qin and the Xiongnu. The chattering voices of the common people present all reached Yi Xiaochuan's ears. After Yi Xiaochuan heard this, his head was still buzzing. Yes,
These common people are right,
These achievements were all created by Zhao Che. Although Zhao Che changed history, he benefited millions of people. Today, He also really discovered that Zhao Che's choice was the right one. (End of this chapter)
