I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

But doesn't he know about Han Di's situation?As the former prime minister, he knew about it, but he didn't take it seriously, because in this world, when will people not die?

Starving to death and freezing to death is a perfectly normal phenomenon for nobles!

But at this moment, he realized that he was wrong, human life is at stake, how could it be a normal phenomenon?

At this moment, he was awakened by Zhang He's scolding, and he felt ashamed in his heart. He was ashamed of the teachings of the holy master and the ancestors of the Zhang family.

"A certain Zhang Ping is willing to donate all his property so that the subjects of Han can survive this severe winter!"

After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhang He and said, "I have lived my whole life and never admired anyone. Zhang Shangqing, please accept my worship!"

Everyone stood up, serious to the extreme. These people were all influenced by the Hundred Schools of Thought. Although the Hundred Schools of Thought had different focuses, they all came from the Six Classics, and they all believed that the people were the cornerstone of the rule.

Now Zhang He has accused them of inhumaneness, disloyalty and filial piety. This is what people in this era care about most and the most respected etiquette.

So they had no choice but to stand up and make a statement, because they could not bear this crime. The nobles of the six countries were originally one. If anyone dared to oppose it today, it would only be their own destruction.

Zhang He hurried down, helped Zhang Ping up, and said, "Your prime minister must never dare to do this, you're a brat."

"You can afford this worship!" Zhang Ping said sincerely.

Zhang He didn't care, nodded, and accepted Zhang Ping's obeisance,

Glancing at the standing nobles, he asked Zhang Ping, "How much is the prime minister's family property?"

"Sell all the family property, equivalent to [-] stones of grain and grass!" Since it is offered, there is no need to hide it.

"Everyone, the prime minister is righteous and donated one hundred thousand shi of grain. The prime minister really loves the people like a son."

"Arranging seats according to financial resources, I think you don't dare to lag behind!"

Everyone: "..."

It was only then that everyone realized that the essence of arranging seats according to financial resources was that Zhang He had planned it long ago, and asked them to donate all their belongings?

It's just that they were scrambling to grab the seat just now and sit in front?

Why?

So everyone looked sharply at Prime Minister Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping donated all his belongings. What does this mean?

Could it be that they should also donate all their property?

Does the family drink northwest wind?

Feeling the sharp eyes of everyone, Zhang Ping sighed. He knew that there was something wrong with this seat, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

Now my head is hot, and I donate all my belongings. Zhang He regards it as a benchmark, and wants to slaughter the nobles of Han.

It's just... I donated all my family property, but I became the object of everyone's hatred?

Why?

Chapter 65 Candy business, a big conspiracy

Li Wei, Zhang He's confidential secretary, knelt on one side and quickly recorded on the bamboo slips the property and food donated by nobles and big businessmen.

After the recording was finished, his forehead was sweating on such a cold day. The nobles and big businessmen in Han are really fucking rich!

After heaving a sigh of relief, he took out the counting chip and fiddled with it quickly. With such a large amount of data, he would not be able to figure it out for a while.

(According to research, calculation chips appeared in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period. They were made of bamboo, small wooden sticks, or animal bones. They were equivalent to the abacus invented in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was an ancient calculation tool.)

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not only a period of great explosion in thought, but also a great explosion in the study of practical use.

During this period, ironware appeared, ironmaking technology developed rapidly, and began to replace bronzeware. Iron farm tools appeared in all countries, which liberated productivity and produced more food.

In terms of weapons, with the advent of iron swords, iron knives, and various iron weapons, the combat power of all countries has soared. This is why during the Warring States Period, when the two countries fought, they often killed tens of thousands of people.

The craftsmen headed by the Gongshu family invented saws, planes, drills and other tools, and also invented the mortise and tenon technology that has been used for more than 2000 years and is still in use.

Mohism's "Mo Jing" records a large amount of physical knowledge, and defines concepts such as flat circles, point-line planes, and so on.

Even put forward the concept of limit, lever principle, buoyancy theory, acoustics, optics...

In terms of medicine, the "Huangdi Neijing" came out, and Bian Que invented the four diagnosis methods of "looking, smelling, asking, and feeling". Chinese medicine flourished during this period.

In terms of mathematics, there are works such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Zhou Pai Jing Suan". The decimal notation method plus tools such as counting chips, the calculations are quite mature.

Even more astronomical works have been published, recording Halley's Comet, and various planets and stars. The advent of astronomical calendars has a great role in guiding agriculture...

While recording, Li Wei fiddled with the calculations. After a long time of calculation, he finally calculated the sum.

Although in this era, the decimal system plus the counting chip is already the most advanced in the world, but the counting chip is still far behind the abacus, and the writing of Chinese characters is much more difficult than the Arabic numerals introduced later. .

Zhang He watched Li Wei doing the calculations, and at the same time thought in his heart that it was time for him to train a group of mathematicians.

First of all, this abacus must be done, which will be subversive for the development of mathematics, and it is necessary to introduce Arabic numerals that are convenient for recording.

This will add to the icing on the cake for all kinds of practical studies, and make the first scientific revolution in human history more thorough.

"Join the army, calculate it, and convert it into food, a total of 120 shi."

Zhang He finally heaved a sigh of relief. With these 120 million stones of grain and grass, the subjects of the Han land can survive this winter. One stone of grain per person is enough to eat until next year's autumn harvest.

Potatoes can be planted starting next spring, and after another three to five years, potato seeds should be widely available. By then, the Great Qin will rule the six kingdoms, and the people will no longer be hungry. Who will rebel?

Zhang He cupped his fists and bowed: "Everyone, a certain generation of King Qin, representing the subjects of Han, thank you all."

At this moment, everyone felt embarrassed. The people of Handi originally served nobles like them, but Zhang He thanked them instead, feeling his face being slapped.

Everyone clasped their fists together and chattered nonsense for a while.

Zhang He walked down from the first place and came to the center of the hall, and said with a smile: "Today, you all contributed money and food, and you have done a certain favor, but this favor is worthy of everyone's help, because you will also make a fortune because of this favor." .”

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they all turned their eyes to Zhang He. Even Zhang Ping, who was disheartened, looked at Zhang He. What kind of tricks is this guy going to play?

"Xu Chu, bring something to someone!"

Xu Chu brought up a large wooden tray, on which were crystal candies boiled from sugar cane, in various patterns and shapes.

Xu Chu distributed a piece to each of the people present, and everyone took it in their hands and looked at it in amazement. Although it is beautiful, it has never seen such a thing.

These candies were drawn by Zhang He during the lottery. He usually ate a few of them, but his toothache was so severe that he didn't eat any more.

If you use these candies to fish today, you must tie these nobles to your own thief boat and work for yourself.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only maltose made from grain germination, and there was no such pure sugarcane candy at all. Sugarcane had already been planted in the south, and Chu people had the custom of drinking sugarcane water.

"Everyone, do you know what this is?"

Everyone frowned and shook their heads, secretly scolding Zhang He for knowingly asking.

Zhang He secretly scolded the bumpkins in his heart, but still smiled brightly: "This is sugar, ten times sweeter than the sugar we eat now, you can taste it."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, Zhang Ping finally picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up, it was so sweet!

Seeing that Zhang Ping ate it, everyone stuffed it into their mouths, and immediately began to exclaim in their hearts.

good stuff!

"And... it can be mass-produced, so you don't have to worry about the court interfering, because it's not made of grain."

Everyone exclaimed again, mass production, and it doesn't use food?

In this era, countries attach great importance to food, so sugar is a luxury item that only nobles can afford, and ordinary people have never seen it.

Now I heard that this candy can be mass-produced without using food. Everyone is aristocratic, and they have a keen sense of business opportunities, and they seem to see real money right away.

"Everyone, are you willing to do this business with a certain person and sell this candy to every corner of the Six Kingdoms?"

After a moment of silence in the lobby, the frying pan suddenly exploded.

Shouting that they want to follow Zhang He in this candy business.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

Zhang He was stunned by the noise and yelled twice.

Only then did everyone quiet down, looking at Zhang He with such gentle eyes.

Although they are nobles with the etiquette and dignity of nobles, but now they have no titles and official positions, so only money can maintain their status.

Zhang He pondered for a while, finally bared his fangs, and said with a smile: "The money you donated just now has been recorded in the account, so let's distribute the candy business according to this ratio, how about it?"

Zhang Ping was overjoyed, he didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise, he donated the most, and naturally got the biggest candy business.

The Zhang family is going to get rich!

Hearing Zhang He's words, those who donated less had mixed feelings in their hearts. They would have donated all of them if they knew it earlier. As long as they got the candy business, they could earn several times the profit.

But things have come to this point, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

"However, the raw material for making candy is not available now, and everyone needs to plant it. This thing is a plant called sugar cane. You must have heard of it. Baiyue and Chudi have it."

"But we can't let the people of Chu know. You are all the people of Daqin now. You can't go to Chu to plant it, but it can be planted on the land of Daqin. For example, the Sichuan and Shu areas are the best places to grow this kind of plant. "

"Don't worry, everyone, I will accept all the sugar cane planted by you, and then make candies and distribute them to you according to the proportion, so that you can sell them to Zhao, Yan, Qi, Chu and other countries, and you can even sell them to the Huns in the north and the west. Yueshi..."

"The profit gained, how about a certain cost?"

After Zhang He finished speaking, everyone was about to cry with excitement. There was such a good thing, they could charge twice.

"Someone is willing."

"Someone is willing too!"

……

Zhang Ping said excitedly: "Someone is willing too!"

Zhang He glanced at Zhang Ping and said with a smile: "Forget it Mr. Zhang, why are you going to join in the fun?"

Zhang Ping: "???"

"Someone has a bigger business, which I want to entrust to you. After all, you have donated the most."

Zhang Ping was so depressed that he would die. If he had more contact with this guy, he would be shocked and shocked. His little heart couldn't bear it!

Just when everyone was happy, Zhang He suddenly said: "But there is one condition, that is, you need to move, move to Sichuan and Sichuan, as much land as you want, and tax exemption for five years! And you can recruit workers. The sharecroppers who planted the fields went to plant.”

Chapter 66 Super Difficult Task Completion, Reward Ten Consecutive Draws Twice

Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of joke are you asking them to move to Sichuan?

The road to Shu is difficult to go to the blue sky, and I am afraid they will never come back.

Their ancestors' ancestral halls are all in South Korea. How can they leave their ancestors and go to remote places like Sichuan and Sichuan?

This business, do not do worth mentioning!

I knew that this guy surnamed Zhang had no good intentions, you bastard!

Zhang He saw that something was wrong, and he still underestimated how much this old man attached importance to the nostalgia and returning to the roots.

Immediately smiled and said: "Of course, you can keep the old man and send talented people from the family to make a fortune there!"

"Someone has already written to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin attaches great importance to the candy business."

"Ahem, ahem, there are a lot of rebellious officials and thieves in Xinzheng City recently! I just killed chickens and monkeys yesterday..."

There was a chill in everyone's heart, this man surnamed Zhang was threatening them again.

But they really hated and feared this guy, this guy was like a mad dog, who would bite whoever caught him!

The storm bird family has been completely abolished.

"Someone is willing to go to Sichuan and Sichuan!"

"Someone would also like to..."

……

These nobles are all smart people, Zhang He has already taken a step back, if they still don't know how to flatter them, this guy may avenge himself publicly.

When the time comes, everything will be gone, and even life will be lost.

So scrambling to sign up, Zhang He asked Li Wei to record it again, and signed and stamped their fingerprints one by one.

In the spring of next year, everyone will take their tenant farmers to Sichuan and Sichuan to dream of making a fortune.

The matter was finally settled, and after everyone left, Zhang Ping stayed.

The reason why he donated all his belongings was mainly for his son Zhang Liang to have a better future, and this future was to follow Zhang He.
