Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 125 Xun Yu’s Journey to Xianyang, Xun Zi’s Disciple and Grandson
When the Mobei Huns attacked Henan, Xun Yu also brought the supplies from Jiuyuan County to Xianyang City, and the special corn syrup and corn sweet cheese from Xianyang City were also freshly baked and brought over.

Xun Yu was sitting in the carriage that should be taken by a county-level official, and slowly drove towards the gate of Xianyang City. The guard naturally wanted Xun Yu's token: "May I have a token for the Shangguan?"

Show the guard the bronze seal and black ribbon on his waist, and then take off the token to the guard. After identifying and confirming Xun Yu's identity, the guard will open the door and let him pass. Naturally, there is no need to check the items behind.

But when Xun Yu let the emperor move forward, he happened to overhear the conversation of other guards.

"This official is the magistrate of Jiuyuan County. Hasn't Jiuyuan County just been defeated? Is there no material to ask the court for help?"

"It is said that the eldest son Fusu is in charge of them. With the kindness of the eldest son, it is estimated that the Huns and the people who migrated there have been fed enough. There must be no enough food at once."

"The eldest son is a good son, but it's a pity that the Huns and the people don't govern like that."

"Kill all the Huns, plunder their livestock, and let the people honestly cultivate the land to produce food for the soldiers over there, so that Jiuyuan County does not need relief from the court."

"Hey, it's a pity that the eldest son is too kind, otherwise, what achievements would those Huns have made?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu frowned, and Xun Yu's steward wanted to interrupt them, telling them to look at the grain behind them.

Xun Yu patted the emperor on the shoulder and told him to move on. Don't pay attention to these soldiers. Going to see Qin Wangzheng, donating food, and getting more immigrants is his job as the county magistrate.

Then Xun Yu asked his servants to find Ting Wei Li Si. After all, there are more or less immigrants, and Li Si's assistance is still needed. Xun Yu also understands that people like him will not be liked by the superiors. .

So he needs the help of his uncle, even if he doesn't like this uncle, this uncle's attitude on some things is completely different from his own.

But this uncle Li Si was also the most trusted minister in front of Qin Wangzheng, so Xun Yu knew that his character would definitely not be liked by Qin Wangzheng.

Bringing the grain and other tributes from Beidi City, Xun Yu came to the gate of Xianyang Palace, moved the carriage aside, and waited for the arrival of his uncle Li Si.

"Wen Ruo," Li Si just happened to have some political affairs to discuss with Qin Wangzheng. When Xun Yu came to visit, he just finished packing the bamboo slips and came to Xianyang Palace.

As a junior, Xun Yu naturally had to salute Li Si first and said, "Uncle Master!"

And beside Li Si there is actually a fat man, Xun Yu also recognized it immediately: "Little uncle!"

"Wen Ruo, you're polite, haha." Zhang Cang wiped his sweat. It was obviously winter, but because of his fat body, he would sweat a lot sometimes.

"Cang, look at you, Wen Ruo is now the magistrate of Jiuyuan County, and you are still working on your position as an official under the pillar." Li Sishun began to teach the younger brother, who was obviously from the same teacher, But Zhang Cang came to be an official, but he was unwilling to make good achievements.

He has been working as a petty official in Zangshu Pavilion for several years, and has no desire to advance at all, which makes many people gossip behind Li Si's back.

Although Li Si only cared about himself, Li Si was also very uncomfortable being gossiped behind his back, so he grabbed Zhang Cang and taught him a lesson.

Zhang Cang agreed with a submissive face, but Zhang Cang still prefers to study books in the Library Pavilion. He has a little knowledge of arithmetic, rhythm, and calendar, and wants to master them all.

What's more, the senior brother in front of him also killed another senior brother. If Li Si was not his senior brother and his official position was higher than his own, Zhang Cang would have been hiding far away.

"Wen Ruo, what's the matter with you this time? Is there a shortage of food in Jiuyuan County?" Li Si also noticed the many carriages brought by Xun Yu.

Just like the soldiers at the gate, Li Si also felt that the Xiongnu herdsmen in Henan, or in other words, Jiuyuan County, were a burden. It was the way of Qin to rob them of their livestock, kill them or drive them to Mobei.

But the young master Fusu is an outlier. He actually took over 20 herdsmen in Henan, and even gave them food to build the Gaoque Fortress.

According to Li Si's understanding, it would be good if they didn't kill them. Couldn't the construction of Gaoquesai make these herdsmen exhausted?Do you still need to hire them?Therefore, Jiuyuan County should lose a lot of food and grass.

But Xun Yu shook his head. He lifted the cloth on the nearest carriage and showed Li Si the corn tied on it: "Jiuyuan County harvested 50 shi of new crops this year. Wen Ruo came here this time to bring The [-] shi of grain that was handed over."

"There are also [-] shi of dairy products produced by the Xiongnu herdsmen, [-] shi for cattle, and [-] shi for horses!"

These are all solid political achievements. If Jiuyuan County wants to immigrate, it must show its achievements to the King of Qin and his most trusted minister Li Si.

"Is this edible?" Hearing that this new crop is food, Zhang Cang immediately became interested.

Xun Yu asked his attendant to show Zhang Cang a piece of corn, and Zhang Cang couldn't wait to pick it up and study it. The appearance of being wrapped in layers of corn husk did not look like food, and he was a little confused.

"Little uncle, you can peel off the skin on the top," Xun Yu pointed at the top of the corn.

Hearing what Xun Yu said, Zhang Cang also slowly peeled off the corn, revealing the corn cobs inside, and the clear and golden corn kernels immediately conquered Zhang Cang's vision.

"How do you eat this?" Looking at Zhang Cang's figure, he knew that Zhang Cang is a food lover. He was very interested in the food that he had never seen before, so he asked.

"This can be eaten grilled, or boiled with boiling water." Xun Yu looked at Li Si next to him, and then looked back at Zhang Cang: "If the little uncle likes it, Wen Ruo will take Yijun to the little teacher in the afternoon. Uncle's house to visit!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Cang returned the corn to Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, aren't you here to ask for food? Are you going to immigrate again?" Li Si has also been looking at the corn in the truck. He knows that Xun Yu, a descendant of his teacher, is quite upright.

Since Jiuyuan County was able to hand in a total of [-] shi of grain, it means that Jiuyuan County is not short of food, so there is only one thing for Xun Yu to come to Xianyang City, the immigration of Jiuyuan County.

However, Young Master Fusu refused to accept large-scale prisoners. He only wanted to accept a small number of light-sentence prisoners among the large number of people, and none of the severe-sentence prisoners.

But the people are not so easy to immigrate. It can be said that it is normal for people to leave their homeland. No one is willing to leave the comfort zone until the moment of life and death.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, as long as the king agrees to recruit immigrants from Jiuyuan County, Wen Ruo has his own way."
