Daqin salted fish is cultivated, and the beginning is bound to the young Yingzheng

Chapter 104 Lu Buwei's Trick
The next morning.

Li Lin left Xianyang City with Meng Tian, ​​Xiao Lian, and dozens of Qin Army attendants who had returned from the frontline battle.

It took less than an hour.

Li Lin soon saw a large farmland.

along the way.

The farmland along the way is all cultivated by people.

Li Lin planned to go up and ask them.

As a result, they saw Li Lin.

It was like a sheep was scared away immediately when it saw a jackal.

This made Li Lin and others very frustrated.

"My lord, there are still people in the field over there!"

"Oh?"

Li Lin looked over.

really.

There are still people dealing with snow on the ground.

He ran over with great interest.

Is an old man.

She is quite old, about 50 or [-] years old.

"Ah? Who are you?"

He panicked.

A little fear appeared on the wrinkled face.

"Old man, we are good people!"

"Good guy?"

He restrainedly glanced at the vicious and murderous Daqin guards behind Li Lin.

His face was pale with fright.

"Da Da, my lord, what do you want to do?"

His voice became trembling, and his calloused hands kept shaking, not knowing where to put them.

"Old man, you, don't be afraid, I am Li Lin, the newly appointed deputy of Zhisu Neishi."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

The old man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he knelt down on the ground very excitedly.

"Are you Li Lin who invented papermaking, Mr. Li?"

"Ah? Old man, do you know me?"

"Oh, my lord, don't be so polite! If you have any questions, you can just say it, the old man will know everything!"

The old man behaved very obediently.

It surprised Meng Tian and others.

To know.

These are the common people outside Xianyang City.

They are all old Qin people.

Inside on weekdays.

Their attitude towards the Daqin officials is not so obedient.

Because they maintain their identity as old Qin people.

Some decrees on Daqin.

In particular, they strongly resist orders that harm their interests, such as land expropriation.

Especially in the past few years, when the former king was around.

There were several bloody clashes.

Why are you so cute when you face a child Li Lin?
In this regard.

Meng Tian was very puzzled.

"Hahaha, old man, you're welcome!"

Li Lin smiled, he thought the old Qin people were simple and honest.

of course.

The old Qin people are honest and honest.

But they are also tough folk.

Otherwise, when Shang Yang was here in the past, in order to implement the decree, he would not have killed the river to be stained red with blood.

"Old man, what kind of crops do you usually grow in this field? Is it rice?"

"Rice?"

The old man was a little puzzled, "Isn't it millet?"

"millet?"

Li Lin was taken aback, oh yes, although rice is available at this time, most people can't afford rice.

Commonly eaten are millet and wheat.

"That's right, that's millet. Can you produce enough for your whole family?"

"Hey, Mr. Li, you're just kidding. The food produced must be enough, but it's not enough. After paying the taxes, you can barely make ends meet!"

"Bare to make ends meet?"

As soon as Li Lin heard it, he immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "Old man, I have some seeds of high-yield crops, I wonder if you are willing to try them?"

"Master Li, what do you mean, you want to rent an old field to grow high-yield crops?"

"Yes, yes, old man, what do you think?"

Li Lin smiled.

Just about to hear the old man answer.

Sudden.

Meng Tian pulled Li Lin over with one hand.

"Brother Li, Uncle Li, why did you tell us our purpose? You should first talk about the advantages of high-yield crops, then see if he is interested, and then discuss the land. Now, you are so abrupt, in case someone else What do you not want to do?"

Meng Tian looked worried.

He thought things out very thoughtfully and comprehensively.

"It is."

Li Lin nodded, because he was too hasty.

This is his fault.

He accepts criticism.

Then he turned his head and was about to start talking about it with the old man.

But don't want to.

"Hey, what a big deal, Mr. Li, if you want to use the old land, you can use it, but do you need the help of the old man to plant one or two?"

"what?"

Meng Tian was stunned.

The group of Daqin guards and Xiao Lian behind them were also stunned.

What's the situation?

This group of Daqin guards.

They are not ordinary guards, they are the elites of the Qin Dynasty who have gone to the front line and slashed and killed the enemy.

and.

They have participated in the process of imperial land expropriation more than once.

Not that time.

It went smoothly like Li Lin.

"Old man, you are too kind, aren't you?"

"Where is it, the old man just happened to have heard of Master Li's reputation, don't worry about Master Li!"

The old guy had a smile on his face.

It made Li Lin feel like he was living in a dream, right?
"Report!"

Beside, soon came a fast horse.

The guard immediately got off his horse, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the Xianyang order heard that you were out of the city for inspection, so he specially came to accompany you in person!"

"Xianyang order?"

Li Lin was taken aback, "Does Daqin have such an official?"

"My lord, you don't know, this Xianyang decree was recently established by the king!"

"Oh, so that's the case, then let him come over!"

"promise!"

soon.

Xianyang Ling ran over with a dozen people.

Li Lin took a look.

Hey!
It turned out that Xianyang Ling was his old friend Li Si.

It seems.

This was specially arranged by the king because he wanted to promote high-yield seeds in Xianyang area.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li!"

"long time no see!"

Li Si smiled, "Brother Li, I heard that you are going to inspect the land today, is it true that you plan to acquire land to produce high-yield crops?"

"Brother Li, how do you know?"

"Hey, do you still need to guess? The king has already said it in the court meeting!"

Li Si smiled, "I heard that you left the city today, and now the whole city of Xianyang is spreading the news about you!"

"Pfft, isn't it? Am I that famous?"

Li Lin was a little surprised, he always thought of himself as an insignificant person.

"Brother Li, you are not famous yet? Do you know? You are currently the most famous person in the entire Qin Dynasty!"

Li Si was talking.

That look of envy and jealousy.

It's almost sour!

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Most of the fields outside here are the land of the old Qin people. You, wanting to acquire land, is harder than climbing to the sky. They are not good at talking!"

"is it hard?"

Li Lin felt that Li Si, like Meng Tian, ​​thought too complicatedly.

"It's hard, do you know? How did the previous governors get down? It's all caused by land acquisition!"

Li Si laughed out loud.

Not to mention how happy he was.

The people in Xianyang City were basically watching his jokes.

Especially the group of people from the Lu Buwei faction who had a grudge against Li Lin, everyone was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

"Oh!"

Li Lin looked at the old man with a neither cold nor indifferent expression.

"Old man, since you are so willing to help me, then let me make the decision. [-]% of the grain produced by high-yield crops will belong to you, and the other [-]% will belong to me?"

"Master Li, you are too kind, aren't you? Eighty percent!!! Daqin's taxes are all taken away in half!"

The old man was flattered and grateful.

to be frank.

At this time, the Daqin taxation system was relatively strict.

After all, the Great Qin has not yet unified the world, and is in a state of war. Basically, the harvest in the farmland is half of the common people, and the Great Qin court takes half.

That's not too bad.

In other countries, the draw is even more ruthless.

Of course, after the reunification of Daqin, the ratio of the tax was reduced, and it became a ratio of [-] taxes.

"Old man, how much land do you have?"

At first, Li Lin thought this old man was just an ordinary old man.

I didn't expect this guy to have much land.

There is no hope that this guy can help him much.

did not expect.

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he was shocked.

"I haven't calculated it carefully, but probably half of the farmland in and around Xianyang City belongs to my family!"

"What?"

Li Lin was startled, "Half of it is your farmland?"

"Well, it should be, and there is not much land, only a few hundred acres!"

"Hundreds of acres!!!"

He gasped, good guy, this guy is a real big landlord!

"Hey, Mr. Li, why are you so surprised? This old man is richer than his ancestors, so there is only a lot of land after all!"

"Who is the ancestor of the old man?"

"Hey, who else can there be?"

"Bershire Hammer!"

"Hammer?"

Li Lin was taken aback, he had never heard of this person's name.

"What? Has Mr. Li never heard of him?"

"Yeah, I really haven't heard of it."

"Hahaha, maybe it's a long time ago, but now our family's power has not fallen. The young master died of illness a year ago! It's all supported by his wife."

"Daughter-in-law? Berkshire?"

Thinking back quickly in Li Lin's mind.

Suddenly.

A person's name appeared in front of his eyes.

That is!
Ba widow Qing!

"By the way, Master Li, I will tell you a secret!"

"you say!"

The old man leaned close to his ear and said something.

Immediately, he felt the crisis and panicked.

"Old man, this time, I will rely on you to save my life!"

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, I am here to wait for you on purpose!"
