Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

All this was because of the simple man in tattered sackcloth with two or three holes in his shoes not far in front of them.

To be precise, it should be the bulging thing wrapped in linen in the man's hand.

This thing looks ordinary, but it is actually a dreaded explosive.

If you want to talk about why Lao Kui, an ordinary head of Guizhou, can get so many explosives in his hands, it is mainly because he was obsessed with longevity when Qin Shihuang was obsessed with longevity a few years ago.

Because of those sorcerers, saltpeter and sulfur were once considered as fetishes that could be refined into elixir, and the folks naturally imitated them.

Lao Kui learned the so-called alchemy method from a magician by accident, and naturally bought a lot of these things at home.

In the process of alchemy, black powder was refined due to various reasons in the formula, which naturally happened inevitably.

It wasn't until later, after Zhao Che got rid of those superstitions, that the world knew that what they refined was not a elixir, but an explosive that would kill people.

The reason why Lao Kui was able to take out the black powder was found, so why did he block up the county government with so much black powder?
This is yet another story.

It turned out that Lao Kui was originally an ordinary old farmer in Ji County, because he used to have a craft of alchemy, and he became famous in ten miles and eight towns.

But after it was rumored that alchemy was fake, Lao Kui also changed from a fairy apprentice who was sought after by everyone overnight to a liar who was shouted and beaten by everyone.

As for the money Lao Kui earned from alchemy, he lost almost every penny.

If you say this, you can't blame Lao Kui, because he doesn't know if the elixir is useful, but even Qin Shihuang believed it, so he naturally believed it.

And after this incident, Lao Kui also took the initiative to ask someone to apologize and compensate him.

But even so, Lao Kui's reputation in his hometown is notorious.

At that time, Daqin issued a policy to encourage the head of Guizhou to reclaim wasteland and increase the scale of planting.

At that time, Ji County was located in a remote area, the geographical location was not very good, and the number of Qianshou was seriously insufficient.

At that time, Jixian County had no way to complete the tasks assigned by the above, so the magistrate of Jixian County thought of a way.

Since the population of Ji County itself is insufficient, I will find a way to get it from other places.

But people are ordinary people in Guizhou, who is willing to leave their hometown and go to other places when they have nothing to do. Besides, even if they go, they have to go to a place with fertile land or a developed economy. What are you doing?
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, the magistrate of Jixian County did not hesitate to write a bad check. Anyone who moved to Jixian County can get compensation, and the county government will subsidize a series of welfare benefits such as building new houses and subsidizing calves.

As soon as the news got out, the population of Jixian County really started to skyrocket, and when Jixian County really started to be developed, everyone realized that this place was not as bad as imagined.

Moreover, because of the champion marquis Zhao Che, Ji County also received a large amount of funding, surpassing several surrounding counties all of a sudden, and became stunned.

However, after the development of Jixian County, the magistrate of Jixian County discovered a problem, that is, the subsidies promised by Jixian County at the beginning, so many people came all at once, they simply couldn't get them out.

Although there is this appropriation from the imperial court, Ji County is developing, and money is needed everywhere. If this money is invested in the development of Ji County, the magistrate of Ji County can guarantee that the average income of the head of Guizhou in Ji County will be within a few years. Can double.

But if it is used as a subsidy for those Qianshou who moved here, a large sum of money will have to be spent for no reason, and the money will be thrown in without a sound.

All in all, but as a magistrate of Jixian County, how could he do such a dishonest thing?And he must not consider the feelings of the leaders of Guizhou below?
Therefore, after careful consideration by the county magistrate of Jixian County, he finally defied the crowd and distributed these subsidies in installments.

But what he never expected was that he had considered it, but the pavilion chief and township officials below hadn't thought it through.

The subsidy was indeed distributed in the end, but it did not fully reach the hands of Qianshou.

First of all, after passing through the county government, the subsidy was decided to be distributed in installments, so the amount of the first subsidy was not large.

As a result, after the money arrived below, the people below began to misappropriate it for various reasons.

Of course, they don't dare to embezzle, but Ji County has just developed, and the dilapidated public places in the past need money to repair them.

Report to the higher-ups to ask for money, let alone whether you can get it, even if you can get it, it will take a long time.

Moreover, if the officials below want to climb up, they must have good political achievements.

If you want to say what political achievements Daqin has made the fastest now, it is of course leading the leaders of Guizhou to get rid of poverty and become rich.

The fastest way to get rid of poverty and get rich is definitely not to make a group of old farmers work hard.

Even the heads of Guizhou in Xianyang City are not willing to farm the land now. After working hard all year round, what can two dollars be enough for?

That's why there are cooperative firms in Xianyang City, but the cooperative firms have not been implemented yet, and the head of Guizhou in other places will definitely not enjoy this kind of treatment.

Therefore, the fastest way to get money is definitely to let those commercial firms come to invest.

But merchants in commercial firms have the temperament of not being profitable, and if you don't let them see the benefits, it is naturally impossible for them to come to your poor place to invest.

Therefore, exploring local advantages and attracting investment from commercial firms has become the top priority of officials in various places.

After the people from the firm come, you still have to show off your strengths here, and do all the hospitality well, right?

I can't let people come over, seeing that your county government is all dilapidated, then people must subconsciously think that your place is poor, haha, and there is no value for digging.

Therefore, the money distributed by the county government was taken by Ting Village.

Of course, they also explained these reasons to the heads of Guizhou, and promised that after they developed in the future, their subsidies would not be less, or even more.

But will the heads of Guizhou care so much about you?Why did I leave my hometown and come to Ji County all the way?Isn't it the good subsidies you promised everywhere?

Now that I'm here, and you say that the subsidy is gone, why are you here to make fun of us?

For officials from all over the country, it is just a very normal behavior to fool the head of Guizhou.

If it was placed in the past few years, not to mention being fooled, even if they squeezed the money at will and swallowed the money privately, no one dared to say anything.

But the problem is that today's Daqin is no longer what it used to be. With the Procuratorate, it is even more strict to investigate corruption, which has caused everyone in Daqin to be in danger.

However, they didn't do anything corrupt and perverting the law this time, and the money was allocated for the development of Ji County, so it's not up to them to decide how to use the money?

But the officials think so much, Qianshou doesn't care about you, especially people like Lao Kui, there are actually not a few of them.

Due to various reasons, the situation at home was not very good, and now they left their hometowns and came to Ji County.

Whether it is building a house or reclaiming wasteland, this is a lot of money.

What would they do without the subsidies from the government?
