Chapter 12 Zhao Gao's Plan

Hu Hai shouted angrily: "Why did my father suddenly banish me to Jiujiang County? I didn't do anything!"

Hu Hai turned around and saw Zhao Gao thinking there, and was quite dissatisfied.

"Teacher, please say something! What should we do now? We can't just let our father exile us to the frontier."

"If I'm exiled to the frontier, I'll have nothing!"

"Ah~"

Zhao Gao sighed.

He had already figured out why Ying Zheng got so angry and banished them all to the frontier.

There is only one thing that could make Ying Zheng so angry.

His and Hu Hai's secret attempts to make friends with officials and abuse their power for personal gain were discovered.

Ying Zheng was afraid that he would discover his intention to compete with Hu Hai for the throne.

As expected, Ying Zheng still follows tradition and must have the eldest son?

"Don't panic. Given His Majesty's character, the more you beg, the angrier He will get. By then, you won't just be demoted to be a captain in Jiujiang County."

Hu Hai said angrily: "Does it mean that I can only go to Jiujiang County to serve as a commander?"

Zhao Gao said slowly: "Once your majesty has made up his mind, he will not change it. Even if the officials persuaded your majesty to withdraw the decision to exile Fusu to the frontier, the final result was that a few more people were exiled to the frontier."

"But if you and I, my dear teacher, are both exiled to the frontier, then we will have no chance at all," Hu Hai said in panic.

Hu Hai originally thought that after Fusu was exiled to the frontier, the throne would belong to him.

That's why he began to make friends with officials in private to prepare for the future.

However, he did not expect that he would end up with the same fate as Fusu.

Do not!
To be precise, he is even worse off than Fusu.

But there is Mengkuo next to Fusu.

His mentor was demoted to Jiuyuan County, which was to the south of Jiujiang County where he was going to be exiled.

Zhao Gao said to comfort him: "Don't panic. I have already thought of a solution."

"Really? Teacher, please tell me quickly," Hu Hai asked hurriedly.

Zhao Gao said carefully: "You should go to Jiujiang County and stay quiet for a few months. When His Majesty's anger has subsided, you can report to His Majesty on the grounds of contributing auspicious signs. Then His Majesty will naturally let you come back."

Hu Hai asked in return: "But how can I get auspicious signs at that time?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, he sighed in his heart.

It turns out that this student is still not very smart and will never achieve anything great.

But it is also because of this that it is easy to be controlled by oneself.

"I will help you solve the Xiangrui issue. Just stay quiet in Jiujiang County for a few months."

After hearing this, Hu Hai's emotions stabilized a lot.

"OK, I see."

In fact, in Zhao Gao's view, his demotion to Jiuyuan County might also be an opportunity.

This will give him the opportunity to deal with Fusu, the eldest son.

Remove the biggest obstacle to Hu Hai's ascension to the throne.

Because Fusu was also in Jiuyuan County.

Although he had Meng Kuo's 300,000-strong army at his disposal.

But so what?
As long as you provide various intelligence and equipment to the Huns in private.

Then he believed that the Huns would be very willing to destroy the 300,000-strong army of Mengkuo that had always been a headache for them.

As for how to contact the Huns, Zhao Gao naturally had the channels.

After all, Jiuyuan County is also the territory of Zhao State.

When the Qin Dynasty conquered the State of Zhao, many of Zhao's high-ranking officials fled to the grassland.

Wait until the Hun army has dealt with Fusu and Meng Tian.

At that time, Ying Zheng would naturally let Hu Hai return to Xianyang.

Because he had no other qualified heir to choose from.

……

Night, Shahe Village.

Zhao Yi was directing the villagers to pack up the dug potatoes to make it easier for Zhadie's men to pick them up.

With the channel of the scumbag father, many problems of Zhao Yi were solved.

Because Shahe Village is still too small.

A population of several hundred and resources are not enough to support the consumption of industrialized production.

But it's different now.

With the help of the scumbag father, Zhao Yi can get the resources and manpower he wants. He only needs to keep the core technology and key steps of production, and leave the rest to the scumbag father, and then he can wait to reap the results.

The villagers all agreed with Zhao Yi's decision.

Because if it weren't for Zhao Yi, they would still be worrying about how to fill their stomachs.

There we had the happy days of having no worries about food and drink every day.

Zhao Yi even taught them how to read and do arithmetic.

Although the characters taught are a bit too simple compared to those outside.

But they are just words after all.

You have to know that in this era, knowledge is monopolized by the middle and upper classes.

Ordinary people have neither the opportunity nor the qualifications to learn.

Because the price of a single volume of the book is equivalent to an ordinary person's income for several months.

Then you need a teacher to teach you.

And teachers will never accept ordinary people as students.

Just like Confucius' three thousand disciples.

None of them are ordinary people.

Each of them is a well-known noble, with a house and land at home.

That is why they were able to become Confucius' students and study full-time.

The reason why the characters taught by Zhao Yi are simpler than those outside is that Zhao Yi taught simplified characters.

……

The next day, Ying Zheng brought a group of people to Shahe Village again.

Ying Zheng told Zhao Yi that those people were from his caravan.

But in fact, those people were shadow guards in disguise.

Ying Zheng didn't want any irrelevant outsiders to have any contact with Shahe Village.

This is the only way to prevent the secrets of Shahe Village from being leaked.

Last night, Ying Zheng sent someone to fetch all the population registration and county annals data of Shaqiu County.

But this is just to cover up the truth.

What Ying Zheng actually wanted to get was the information about Shahe Village.

After checking the information, Ying Zheng did not find anything special about Shahe Village.

But what he saw and heard in Shahe Village told him how extraordinary Shahe Village was.

This made him pay more attention to Shahe Village and Zhao Yi.

However, he would not use any tough measures to force Zhao Yi to hand over the secret.

After all, he was very happy getting along with Zhao Yi.

Secondly, Zhao Yi still has the intention to rebel, and he cannot see through Zhao Yi and Shahe Village.

Shahe Village has grenades and the means to monitor the shadow guards eight miles away.

Ying Zheng didn't know how much manpower it would take to control Shahe Village.

If improper handling leads to the leakage of Shahe Village's technology, Daqin will fall into turmoil again.

So Ying Zheng chose conservative means.

Send secret guards to secretly monitor all the people registered in Shahe Village.

Anyone who has come into contact with people from Shahe Village will have their record kept and undergo a background check.

In addition, Ying Zheng also arranged for shadow guards to disguise themselves as multiple caravans and take turns doing business on the road where Shahe Village is located.

While gathering intelligence, they secretly protected Shahe Village.

Even Sand Hill County secretly entered a state of martial law.

The Shadow Guards regrouped and infiltrated Shaqiu County.

Some shadow guards also quietly took over the city defense of Shaqiu County and conducted strict checks on people coming and going from Shaqiu County.

Zhao Yi watched the people brought by his scumbag father moving potatoes skillfully.

I think they are efficient and excellent.

It turns out that the scumbag dad is not an ordinary businessman.

I can have workers of this quality under my command.

Plus the cooperation content discussed yesterday.

The scumbag has channels for all kinds of minerals.
