Since Ying Zheng left Zhao and came to Qin, he had not left Xianyang for a long time. Ying Zheng felt that this was a very good opportunity to let himself see the real Qin. After leaving Xianyang, most of the water trucks standing by the river and the endless arable land outside the city. Seeing these, Ying Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment.

The Qin State's arable land area was originally greater than that of other countries. After Lu Buwei's agricultural reform, the increase in arable land area reached an unprecedented level. After Lu Buwei shifted the focus of the military merit system to farming, the people of Qin State began to continuously increase their grain output in order to obtain titles, and the government was open and even led the people to develop the land in an organized manner.

The land development rate is very low at this moment, with many mountains, rivers and trees, and there are even various beasts. In the Central Plains areas like South Korea, wild beasts such as tigers, bears, and elephants can be found, which is enough to show how low the land development rate is... Even such beasts have not been taken away by humans in the survival space. There are many cultivated land, but the problem is that not many people farm. At present, the total number of people in the seven countries is only about 25 million.

Compared with the later Western Han Dynasty, the population at its peak exceeded 60 million, which is the gap.

At present, the population of Qin State has probably exceeded the total of other countries. The agricultural technology at this time was still very backward than later. The reason for the backwardness was that there were not many household registrations and there was no pressure on arable land, so there was no need to find ways to increase the grain production of arable land. If there was not enough grain, just cultivate it directly... The only person who was trying to improve agricultural output, expecting that the pressure on arable land in the future was the only farmers.

Qin was a country of farming and war. The original focus was on fighting. Farming was for war, but Lu Buwei pulled the carriage and turned the carriage. War still could not be separated from farming, but farming was no longer just for war. The three wise ministers of Qin, Shang Yang, made Qin strong, Fan Ju formulated a unified strategy, while Lu Buwei was responsible for the transition. In history, the prime minister responsible for the transition was forced to death too early, resulting in Qin not being able to complete the transition from separatist princes to unified regimes.

The Qin State did not think about how to govern the country or how to transition from war to farming. Instead, it continued Fan Ju's path. Since the six countries were destroyed, they would continue to fight foreign wars, attack Nanyue, attack the Huns, continuously expand their territory, and constantly use war to solve internal problems. In China, whether it is to build the Chidao or the Great Wall, it is all for war, which facilitates mobilization and defense... After all, when it was destroyed, the Qin State was still the war machine, without any change.

Shang Yang turned Qin into a war machine in order to make Qin rise rapidly and protect himself. Shang Yang formulated the route of expansion to make the war machine operate. Lu Buwei died before he could close the war machine, causing the machine to continue running until his people could not bear it and rose up. The changes Zhao Kuo brought to the world were not direct, but indirect.

The war is not over now, but Lu Buwei is ready to turn off the machine.

Ying Zheng saw the arable land on both sides of the road and said happily: "This year's grain production will definitely be far more than last year... The granary will be full again, and it seems that some taxes can be reduced... The people here will definitely not be starved to death." Ma Fuzi, influenced by Zhao Kuo, was happy at this moment not because the arable land can support more troops, but because the people want to become rich and the country wants to become rich and happy.

This is a big change in itself.

However, when the carriage arrived at Taiyuan County, the situation was a little different... The amount of cultivated land here decreased rapidly, and all you could see was desolate scenery, including the roads here, uneasy, Zhao's mother was getting older, Ying Zheng was very worried about her body, so he ordered the speed of progress to slow down. These cities in Zhao State, which had just experienced war, were very obvious compared to the original cities in Qin State.

Ming saw Ying Zheng frowned tightly. Ying Zheng looked at everything he saw on the road, and even beasts dared to come out and hurt people during the day. Some towns in the distance were completely abandoned, with no one in sight. Faced with such a huge gap, Ying Zheng's joy of conquering Zhao State was gone. Ying Zheng called Qi who was accompanying him, and Qi got on the king's carriage and paid homage to the queen, and then he looked at Ying Zheng seriously.

"Do you think the same is true in Sanchuan, Dongjun, Yingchuan and other areas?"

Ying Zheng asked seriously, Qi said truthfully: "Most of them are like this, but they will get better..." Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng interrupted him angrily. Ying Zheng said: "Everyone reports good news to me every year, saying that the development situation in various places is so amazing. If I remember correctly, these cities in Taiyuan County had been captured four or five years ago, right? It was General Meng Ao who personally captured..."

“That’s it…”

"What do the officials here do?!"

"Call the county magistrate of Taiyuan County to me!" Ying Zheng shouted angrily. Ying Zheng's anger scared Xiao Fusu. Fusu burst into tears. Ming was unwilling to disturb the state affairs, so he took the little guy to the carriage where Yi was. The convoy stopped here and started to rest. Soon, the county magistrate of Taiyuan County was pulled to Ying Zheng. The county magistrate of Taiyuan County was not an outsider, but a general of the royal family.

The white-haired Fur stood in front of Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng had to put away his anger. He was unwilling to insult the general, but Fur hurriedly said, "This is all the fault of the minister, please punish me." Qi, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said, "King, Taiyuan County was established a few days ago. It has been less than two days since the general Fur came to Taiyuan County... How can this be said to be his fault..."

Most of the cities in Taiyuan County were taken down by Qin very early. After Qin destroyed Zhao, he established Taiyuan County here and transferred the land he had originally captured into Taiyuan County. Therefore, the new county magistrate was really not wrong. Ying Zheng calmed down, smiled and helped the old general in front of him, and said gently: "How could I punish you? I called you here, but I just wanted to entrust you with something."

"I am very angry when I see the scene of Taiyuan today. In recent years, Taiyuan has not improved any more... Now that you are in Taiyuan, I trust you very much and hope you can manage Taiyuan well..." Ying Zheng gave a lot of instructions, and naturally there was no objection. After inviting Luo to have a not-so-sourcing meal, Ying Zheng set out again. He thought that the situation in Taiyuan was already bad enough.

But when he came to Handan County, he realized that he seemed to have blamed the officials in Taiyuan wrongly.

Because the situation in Handan County is even worse than that in Taiyuan County, the arable land on the road is full of weeds, and almost no farmland can be seen, and there are not many people in the farming industry. The roads are seriously damaged, and there are even no roads that can be passed by horse carriages... Ying Zheng became increasingly low. When he finally came out of the horse suit, he walked off the carriage and, accompanied by his soldiers, looked at the familiar land around him.

He remembered every place here. Although many years have passed, these memories have always been hidden in his heart. However, the horse costumes at this moment are different from the horse costumes in his mind. He still remembers the villagers who are busy in the farmland, and his father always takes him to help... But there is no trace of the farmland here... The empty school room next to the horse costume reminds Ying Zheng of his father's disciples.

Not far away, Yi helped Zhao's mother and walked off the carriage.

Zhao's mother widened her eyes. She could no longer see anything, but at this moment, she seemed to see it again. She said excitedly: "It's a horse suit... This is a horse suit." Yi was also a little excited. She saw the plowing land she was leading the cow to help Zhao Kuo. She looked around, but she felt a little anxious. Shan naturally followed Zhao's mother and looked around curiously.

Zhao Kang looked around comfortably. He walked to Ying Zheng and said, "This is horse costume? Why is it so desolate? Did you grow up here?" Perhaps hearing the disdain in Zhao Kang's tone, Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at him viciously, and said, "Shut up!" Zhao Kang did not continue to speak, but Ying Zheng was waiting for Zhao's mother and others to walk to the side. Ming hugged the little guy in his arms, looked around, and praised him against his will. The scenery here was beautiful.

In fact, the scenery here is really beautiful, but that was the past, but now the horse suits have changed a lot.

The group walked towards Mafu, and soon Zhao Quhe stopped them. Perhaps because of Zhao Kuo, Qin did not send officials to take over, but still asked Zhao Quhe to take charge of the place. Zhao Quhe saw these people and horses in the distance, and he knew in his heart that a distinguished guest was coming, but he was not panicked, because Mafujun was back. When Mafujun was still there, there were many distinguished guests.

He looked proudly at the tall young man in front of him and asked, "Are you here to visit Ma Fujun?"

Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "I am Zheng..." Ying Zheng let go of his position, revealing the hunched mother Zhao and Yi. Zhao Quiddhi looked at them, his eyes widened, and suddenly, he shouted, "Ma Fuzi is here! Ma Fuzi is here!!" Hearing Zhao people shouting, Ying Zheng trembled, and at that moment, the people in the horsefu rushed out again.

Yi supported Zhao's mother to meet these people. Some of the old men were so excited that they burst into tears after seeing Zhao's mother.

Ying Zheng was surrounded by them. The villagers looked at the hugely changing horse buszi and couldn't help but greet them. Ying Zheng also hugged Fusu and introduced him to them that this was his son. Suddenly, Fusu was awarded the title of Xiaoma buszi... Zhao Kang looked at all this and was a little stunned. He saw those Zhao people gathered around his family, full of excitement and excitement. Seeing them wiping their tears, it seemed as if they were welcoming their relatives.

He saw his brother chatting with them happily, and even hugging several farmers.

Listening to the Zhao people shouting Ma Fuzi and welcome Ying Zheng and the others into the township, Zhao Kang suddenly felt a little sad. He stared at this scene blankly. Suddenly, several Zhao people appeared in front of him. They said with a smile: "Ma Fuzi? Please come in together. We have some grain and prepared meat." Zhao Kang grinned and said in the inexperienced Zhao language: "Okay!"

The elderly Zhao's mother returned to her courtyard again. She cried, stroked the gate, stroked the wall, and said Zhao She's name. Yi supported her and took her all over the courtyard. Ying Zheng went to the banquet under the leadership of the villagers. The soldiers were stationed in the horse suit to ensure Ying Zheng's safety. Ying Zheng felt very happy. He sat in the upper position and looked at the villagers who were singing and dancing, eating extremely simple food, but he was so happy.

Even Zhao Kuo was the same. He learned to sing with the Zhao people, and then went to dance in person. He quickly became familiar with these villagers. Everyone loved him very much. They all said that he looked exactly like Zhao Kuo when he was young. Ying Zheng met a few of his playmates, who were still farming and several of them participated in the war, but he did not come back. Ying Zheng chatted with them and asked about their life situation.

They didn't have a good life.

Ying Zheng listened carefully to them telling their experiences over the years, and frequently drank with the villagers. The horse suits were once again celebrated. When Ying Zheng left the horse suit, he was just a little guy. Who would have thought that he now had children, and Fusu enjoyed the treatment of the horse suits well, the darling of the horse suits in the villages. As for goodness, of course, the same was true. When he learned that Ma Fujun had a daughter, the villagers were also very friendly to her.

Zhao Kang couldn't help laughing when he heard the villagers talk about the naughty things that Ying Zheng did at the time.

You also said that I was naughty, and you were not a good thing when you were a child!

Ying Zheng has not experienced such a happy time for many years, and has not experienced such warmth, just as if the fallen leaves have found their roots. However, the situation here and the pain of the people have also been remembered by Ying Zheng. The gap between his young memories and the present made him understand the sufferings of the people. To govern the country, you cannot just sit in the upper position and issue a few orders at will, but you still need to know the situation in the local area.

Most people who are horse-suspended don’t know that horse-suspended are the king of Qin.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was more like a horse cousin than the King of Qin.

After staying here for a day, Yi got up and rushed to Handan. Ying Zheng asked Zhao Kang and Shan to accompany her and asked them to take another big mother back.
