Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 267 Your Majesty Has a Purpose
The cattle in the 36 counties of the Qin Dynasty, at least thirty of them, are all controlled by aristocratic families. If people want to cultivate their fields, they must borrow cattle from the noble families, and borrowing cattle will cost a lot of money. .

Over time, in addition to the corvee labor for farming, the common people also had to bear the cost of borrowing cattle for farming. If things went on like this, the common people were always at the bottom of being exploited.

But if the problem of farming cattle is solved, the people will be able to completely liberate their productivity, and the harvest of Daqin will gradually improve, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment in the future.

But the premise of all this is that the problem of farming cattle must be solved, so Feng Quji can also see what a huge change Ying Zheng's move can bring to countless farmers in the Great Qin Dynasty!

"Meng Wu!" Suddenly, Ying Zheng shouted coldly at this time, "You have seen the whole process. Now at the Northern Army Lieutenant Colonel Field, a thousand beef cattle transported back from the northwest have been driven away!"

"I ordered you to use Zhang Han's method just now to dispose of the thousand beef cattle for me, and I will send black ice warriors to cooperate with you to dispose of them!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was going to give him such a task, Meng Wu's eyes lit up and he made a calculation in his mind.

If during this process, some beef cattle could not stand the pain and died, wouldn't I be able to eat fresh beef today?Thinking of this, Meng Wu's eyes lit up.

But at this time, Ying Zheng sneered and said, "Don't have any wrong thoughts, I will arrange the censor to supervise the whole process, if a cow dies for no reason, I will ask for you!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Wu was instantly sluggish like an eggplant beaten by frost.

If those people from Yushitai came to supervise their work, it would definitely be more terrifying than Ying Zheng personally going to the army to supervise him!
Meng Wu could already foresee that, even if he did not make any mistakes, he was afraid that he would be impeached by Yu Shi a thousand times, ten thousand times in the early court!
But in any case, with the joint cooperation of the army and the censor, a thousand bison were all domesticated into cattle in just one day.

Although the process was very miserable, all the soldiers and censors present were extremely excited when they saw the tamed bison obediently obeying the rope leader.

After all, everyone can see that so many bison have been tamed into farming cattle. Once more bison from the grasslands are brought back, the shortage of farming cattle for the common people in Daqin will be fundamentally resolved!

And just when Meng Wu led his troops to pierce the nose of the bison, Zhao Yi's perfume completely detonated the circle of ladies in Xianyang City.

Countless noble ladies got the news, and each one began to show their special abilities, trying to get a bottle of perfume from the Prince's Mansion.

After all, the attraction of perfume to women is enough to detonate the entire city of Xianyang.

These noble ladies of Xianyang City moved out their dowry, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and antique land deeds are already considered very low-level means.

Many noble ladies have begun to directly pursue Zhao Yi's ideas. Anyone who has a somewhat beautiful legitimate daughter in their family has begun to think about how to marry their daughter into the East Palace.

Although Feng Shuyi is now an accurate crown princess, everyone knows that there can never be only one crown princess in the Prince's Mansion!

Therefore, the noble ladies in Xianyang City began to sharpen their heads, thinking of sending their daughters, nieces, nieces, or relatives and daughters who could not be reached to the prince's mansion in a different way.

These girls are all beauties without exception, because everyone knows that Prince Zhao Yi is a beautiful woman, so as long as they are a little bit attractive and can get along with these noble ladies, they will all be introduced into the Prince's mansion.

These days, Zhao Yi doesn't have to do anything every day, just lying on the shaker and looking at pictures of beautiful women can make him fall asleep.

But the homes of people in Guanzhong, Longyou, Shandong and other places in Daqin became extremely lively.

Because the imperial court specially sent cattle to their home, and they were domesticated bison that were stronger and stronger than the last!

The farmers are now crazy about joy. It is self-evident what farming cattle means to them.

With these oxen, the farmers who share the oxen can increase their harvest by at least [-]% this year.

And these peasant households assigned to the cattle are all military households without exception, because in the Great Qin Dynasty, according to the provisions of the Qin Law, the soldiers in the army were strictly implemented in accordance with the military merit system.

According to the law of Qin, the person who beheads a head is one rank of nobility. The title of nobility can be obtained not only by killing enemies on the battlefield, but also by relying on hard work in farming, reporting, catching robbers, and accumulating meritorious service as a petty official.

It's just that it is difficult to see results in farming, and reporting and catching robbers are rare things, so only killing enemies in the battlefield is the most serious and fastest way to obtain the title.

Therefore, military households with military merits were extremely excited and proud when they saw the envious eyes of their neighbors. They shouted long live and praised Ying Zheng's benevolent government.

At this time, to the north of Yinshan Mountain, Wang Ben, Li Xin and others led light cavalry and were chasing the remnants of the defeated Xiongnu.

They only carried weapons and compressed rations with them, and they all wanted to capture the fleeing Xiongnu Shanyu.

But at this time, the military order of Xianyang City was sent to the army, and Wang Ben immediately ordered the whole army to suspend the march.

"What new order does your majesty have?" In the commander's tent, all the soldiers gathered together, and everyone was puzzled by the sudden stop of the march.

Looking at Yingzheng's edict at this time, Wang Ben also looked puzzled, "Your Majesty has an order to order us to transport the cattle and sheep on the grassland, especially the beef cattle, back to Daqin intact."

"What? What time has it been? Why is Your Majesty so concerned about cattle and sheep?"

"That's right. Those beef cattle are actually bison. They are wild and hard to tame. Why take them back?"

"Yes, last time we sent back thousands of bison to please His Majesty, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Could it be that His Majesty became addicted to eating beef in Xianyang?"

"This is what His Majesty meant!" Wang Ben handed the edict to Li Xin, who was next in line. "In addition, Your Majesty said that the bison on the grassland is not impossible to domesticate, and there are ways to do so."

Everyone gathered around to have a look, and after reading Ying Zheng's handwritten edict, they were all dumbfounded, "This, can this be done?"

"Whether it works or not, this is His Majesty's request. It just so happens that the Xiongnu Chanyu is hiding somewhere, and the army also needs to rest, so let's play with this bison!"

Soon, the army immediately ordered to start disposing of beef cattle according to Ying Zheng's request.

The originally ferocious beef cattle had their noses pierced, and after they were fitted with prongs, they all became extraordinarily honest.

Seeing this, Wang Ben immediately arranged for the infantry and civilian husbands to escort tens of thousands of domesticated bison back to Daqin.
