Chapter 30 Rewards and Punishments
When Fusu received the letter transferred by Li Si, he happened to finish practicing the sword. He was sweating slightly on his face, and he picked up a sweat towel and wiped it dry. Then he entered and opened the letter to read it.
After reading the contents of the letter, Fusu thought about it and carefully read the words on the letter twice, carefully pointed out the specific shortcomings, and finally replied to the stack of sorted manuscripts on the bookshelf and asked someone to send them to the Li family.
There are the small stories he told to Jianglu and the others and the big words he wrote. If Xiao Shanghua wants to learn, she can practice accordingly.
As soon as Fusu finished his work, he saw Huai Cai coming back from outside and said that many dignitaries asked about their flour and wanted to buy it from the mill.
Fusu pondered for a moment and said, "If you want enough in the palace, you can sell the others to them. You only collect grain, not money."
Since Shang Yang's reforms, the court has never encouraged people to go to business, and even believed that merchants were cunning, did not engage in production, and used various methods to make money greedily and shamelessly.
After all, if there are no middlemen who make a difference, the food produced by the land will belong to the court except for the part used by the people. Why worry about the lack of national strength?
Therefore, under the status of Qin, merchants have always been suppressed.
If you change grain to flour, it is barely considered barter. As for why one pound of grain cannot be exchanged for one pound of flour, of course, because there will be some losses during the period and the mill workers have to get some processing fees. This discerning person can see clearly that he will not be criticized for taking the lead in business.
Huai Cai got Fusu's correct words and immediately took the order and left, ready to stare at the people below to make more stone mills.
After Huaicai left, Fusu picked up the hot tea that Huaide gave him for a while, Jiang Lu and the others came over, and the room suddenly became very lively.
Fusu teased the milk dumplings all morning and asked someone to send them back one by one like usual.
After getting along with Jiang Lu and the others during this period, he gradually discovered some differences: the younger one had a father arranged a few separate cooks for him earlier to meet his various requirements; the older one had something to do, and he would never lack money in his hands and people under him.
Before he proposed the statement that "the immortals teach dreams", the father had already given these things.
But Jiang Lu and the others did not have it.
Looking back on the events in my previous life, in fact, the father gave him everything except the position of crown prince.
However, as an emperor, the father never acted warmly or said eagerly, so the father and son were never so close.
Even if he was asked to supervise the army in the north later, he was very nice to him. Meng Tian, who had carefully taught him the art of war, and the 300,000 troops in the north.
Rather than exiling him in anger, it is better to let him go to the army to experience it well.
As for the last edict...
Fusu paused, and didn't think about it anymore, asking Huaide to take over the new book that Ying Zheng sent yesterday, calm down and start reading.
After noon, Huaide quietly told Fusu what was circulating outside: the people below were unable to catch Fan Yuqi back so far. The king was furious today and ordered that everyone in charge of Fan Yuqi's family be killed tomorrow.
Of course, Huaide’s point is that the king is in a bad mood!
After hearing this, Fusu put down the book in his hand and asked, "Where did you hear it?" Although the father did not establish a queen and the rules in the palace were very relaxed, the affairs of the previous dynasty were not easily passed on to the palace.
Huaide said: "The little one just ran to the kitchen and met a few people running errands in front, and they were discussing it privately."
Not everyone knows what Fan Yuqi did, so these people are just lamenting how Fan Yuqi is so good that he is not good at being a general and wants to run away for fear of crime.
Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The king is not the one who kills you if you lose the battle. He has won so many games before, but this time he only lost once. Why are you running away?
Now that I'm fine, my family is so impoverished.
Huaide picked up these words and talked to Fusu.
Fusu didn't say anything, so that Huaide didn't have to wait there all the time, so he picked up the book and started reading it.
As dinner approached, another steamed dumpling was sent to the kitchen.
This is a new recipe that Fusu asked Huaide to send to Liang Ji. The steamed dumpling skin is much thinner than the bun skin. After steaming, you can vaguely see the filling inside.
There are no vegetables outside, but there are still glutinous vegetables grown in the palace. Fresh glutinous vegetables and meat are chopped with thin dumpling skins. The steamed food not only looks good, but also contains hot soup, which is suitable for eating in winter.
If you don’t want to eat steamed ones, you can put them in the broth and roll them around. After cooking for a while, it will be cooked. You can taste the strong fragrance of the soup inside and outside.
Fusu tasted one steamed dumpling and soup dumpling each, and felt that the filling tasted good and it was full of umami flavor in the mouth.
This time, Fusu did not ask anyone to send him to the palace, but only asked the kitchen to prepare some for Jianglu and the others.
Although his father allowed him to go to the palace freely and did not stop his people from running out, he was not good to ask people to deliver food to the palace every day. He planned to wait for the kitchen to make a few more pasta and then organize the recipes. Anyone who wants to learn how to make them will take them to learn.
Anyway, they all have to go to the mill to buy flour, so it’s the same for asking their own chefs to learn how to make it.
Fusu finished the matter and grabbed the jade seal the size of the knuckles on his waist. He paused and asked someone to prepare more dumplings and personally led someone to send them to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng had just finished his government affairs and had not turned his mind to what to eat for dinner. He heard that Fusu came to deliver food to him, so he raised his eyebrows and asked someone to lead Fusu in.
The group of people following Fusu was able to enter.
Ying Zheng looked at the steamed dumplings brought in by the palace maids, and suddenly recalled that yesterday Fusu not only gave five cages to the Li family, but also five cages to the clan chief. When he came to him, he only gave one cage!
Today I know I'm here to deliver it.
Ying Zheng waved and asked Fusu to sit down beside him.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, the palace maids placed steamed dumplings on the table and couldn't put the rest down, so they took them to the outside room to warm them up first, so they were not enough before sending them in.
Ying Zheng asked: "What new tricks have you made?"
Fusu personally uncovered the lid of the steamer and saw a basket of dumplings neatly placed on it. The skin was as thin as transparent. The filling inside was very sufficient, but none of them were broken. It can be seen that Liang Ji and the others were very attentive when pinching the dumplings and controlling the heat very carefully.
Fusu said: "This is a dumpling, which can be made with vegetarian or meat, or it can be made with meat and vegetables. However, there are fewer vegetables in winter, only ginger vegetables can be used, so this is ginger meat dumpling. If there are more spring bamboo shoots in the next year, you can use spring bamboo shoots and meat dumplings, which tastes more fresh and have a particularly different taste."
Ying Zheng said: "Didn't you send it to Li Si's family?"
Fusu explained seriously: "It was the first time I made pasta yesterday, so I specially sent it to my senior brother and the others for some freshness. Later, they wanted to eat it, but they learned to make it at home."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a pork dumpling and tasted it. It felt very good. He stopped eating a few times and drank tea. He asked, "Some people say that Fan Yuqi's family is innocent. What do you think? Should their family be killed?"
When Fusu heard Ying Zheng's question, he thought that Prince Dan of Yan had planned an assassination against Ying Zheng in his previous life. At that time, the assassin Jing Ke was able to meet Ying Zheng and implement the assassination plan by presenting a map and Fan Yuqi's head.
Did Fan Yuqi's family do something wrong? Fan Yuqi's family did nothing wrong.
However, Fan Yuqi fled abroad for fear of crime, which was equivalent to rebel against Qin. If such a rebel general was not severely punished, there would be endless troubles in the future.
Fusu said calmly: "It's time to kill."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "The immortal in your dream did not teach you that God has the virtue of living, so please don't commit murder?"
Fusu said: "He lost first and fled behind him. The defeat in the war caused the soldiers in the army to die. The people on the border suffered. Although they did not die, they were not innocent. He knew he was guilty but did not bear the blame. Instead, he fled for fear of the crime. He ignored the law and abandoned his relatives."
Although Fusu has been practicing for many years, he is not a person with a lot of kindness.
He is neither the family of the soldiers who died in battle nor the people in the border areas who lost their homes. What right do he have to plead for Fan Yuqi's family because of his pity for innocent people? If these suffering people come to him in the future and cry, will he be willing to uphold justice for them?
Fan Yuqi knew what the consequences would be for defection, but he still ran away by himself, so he abandoned his family first and ignored him, no wonder others.
Fusu said: "The father is just dealing with his family according to the law. If he is not punished severely this time, everyone will follow his example in the future. I wonder how many soldiers and people will die in vain."
Ying Zheng laughed loudly and raised his hand to rub Fusu's head.
He originally thought that Fusu was very good to everyone, and he was very angry when dealing with the people, and was worried that Fusu was too kind and ruthless.
After hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng felt much more relieved. Seeing that the dumplings in front of Fusu were not moving much, he became more excited and picked up a steaming dumpling and fed them to him.
Fusu: "..."
Eat Fusu obediently.
The father and son quickly solved all the steamed dumplings, and finally each ate a bowl of broth that made several soup dumplings.
Before Fusu returned, Ying Zheng said to him: "The chief of the clan and common people wrote a letter saying that it was time to go back to Yongcheng to hold a sacrificial ceremony this year. You are ready to prepare. It's time to set off in two days."
When Duke Wen dreamed of a yellow snake falling from the sky, he asked the person who knew how to interpret dreams. The other party replied that it was "This is God's conquest, and you will sacrifice it." Therefore, Qin moved the capital to Yongcheng, and the Qin people officially entered the Guanzhong Plain from the remote western border and had the opportunity to recuperate in the fertile plain area.
When Duke Wen dreamed of snakes, he also established a sacred place for worshiping heaven. Later, Qin kings of all dynasties successively cultivated to four celestials and occupied the four sides of Yongcheng.
It can be said that every time a stub is set, it almost represents a big step forward by the Qin Dynasty.
Although Qin has moved its capital to Xianyang, the ceremony of worshiping heaven will be held in the four lunar city of Yongcheng from time to time.
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Fusu's brows jumped inexplicably, and suddenly thought of the general trend of the world for the next ten years.
Fusu looked up at Ying Zheng's young face.
At this time, my father was in Mao Nian, and his eyebrows were full of confidence and ambition.
He believed that troubled times would end in the hands of Daqin, and he believed that the world would be his own.
Later he did.
Fusu agreed obediently: "Okay."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything else, waved his hand and asked him to go back.
...
at the same time.
Xinzheng is very cold this winter.
