Zhao Fu also changed into ordinary clothes. He planned to go to some remote areas to see for himself the current situation of Daqin, because what he saw with his own eyes was definitely more true than the report.
The first place to come was a mountain village, and the county where the mountain village was located had also suffered a flood. Zhao Fu wanted to see with his own eyes what the situation is now.
This mountain village has now cleared the silt in the village after the flood, and is clearing the silt in the fields, so that we can continue to plant food.
Zhao Fu, a stranger who came to their village, caused them to look at him. Some wondered why this young man came to their small mountain village. Although he looked at the young man dressed in ordinary, he was extraordinary. ratio.
An old man with gray hair and a tough physique stepped forward and smiled and said, "I wonder what's the matter with the son in our village?"
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "old mister has nothing to do, just take a look at it, just passing by this village, come and take a look."
The village chief smiled happily, "Really? Our village is nothing more than a poor mountain village. What's so beautiful about it? I thought you were an official of the court and came down for inspection."
Zhao Fu's expression was a little surprised. He looked at his ordinary dress, as if there was no special place, and said with a hint of curiosity, "old mister, how do you see that I may be a court official?"
The village chief smiled and said, "The temperament of your body is an extraordinary person at first glance. It is very different from those of us in mountain villages. Besides, the imperial court sometimes sends people to inspect the mountain village. No outsiders."
Zhao Fu also understood, and smiled and asked, "The court sent people to inspect, how do you feel about this, and how do they treat you? Do you care about your opinions?"
The village chief said happily, "Of course they are more welcome. This is mainly to thank your majesty, it is an order of your majesty, and each county will do this. Otherwise, our kind of small villages may be ignored. ."
"As for the people who came, the attitude is still good! There is neither arrogance nor contempt for us, and we can report our affairs to the county adults. After a while, the matter will be resolved."
"Oh!"
Zhao Fu responded with an understanding, and then asked, "After this flood, do you have any opinions or dissatisfaction with the court?"
Hearing this, the village chief's smile faded a little, and he glanced around, said in a low voice, "My son! The question you are asking is very dangerous. You should ask less of this kind of question to avoid causing any trouble."
Zhao Fu asked strangely, "Why is that?"
The village head smiled, but he looked serious, "Because of your question, the content is a little sensitive, and you can say what you think is possible, but if there is any dissatisfaction, there is a possibility of rebellion."
"This matter can be big or small. Maybe you said nothing happened, but if you cause turmoil or take the lead in making trouble, you will definitely be beheaded, and even your relatives and friends will be severely punished."
"Besides, our Majesty also specially selects representatives of public opinion, and will send people to inspect. If you have any opinions or questions, you can talk to them, but try to talk to others about your dissatisfaction with the court."
"This time the flood disaster was quickly resolved by the court, and the court also allocated some grain and seeds. Now what are our opinions? It is too late to be grateful to the court and your majesty."
After hearing this, Zhao Fu fell into deep thought. Zhao Fu didn't know that people who expressed dissatisfaction and caused riots and disturbances would be beheaded, and even their relatives and friends would be severely punished.
This order may have been given by Li Si, or he may have reported it to him, but he did not care, because this is a small way to stabilize Da Qin's rule, and there are many different ways.
Now Da Qin has opened up multiple battlefields and has to face countless enemies. There must be no problems within Da Qin. Otherwise, Da Qin is likely to destroy the country because of internal and external troubles, so it will also adopt some high-pressure methods to stabilize the people. effect.
Now that I learned about this, Zhao Fu did not intend to change this policy, because it was indeed useful for Da Qin.
It's just that for Zhao Fu, he has to know Daqin again, because Daqin is not as beautiful as he imagined. There are no restrictions, and people can live freely and happily in it.
Of course, there can be no place like that in the world. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. The world needs rules, and so does the country.
"My son! You are not a small official in the court, right?" The village chief said with a respectful smile.
Zhao Fu reacted and said with a smile, "Didn't you tell me? I'm not an official."
The village chief smiled and said, "You don't need to explain, son, most people don't ask these questions, and judging from the son's temperament, he is definitely not an ordinary official."
Zhao Fu didn't explain much, with a smile on his face.
The village head was overjoyed, and he also understood that Zhao Fu had acquiesced to his identity, his face was brighter, and he said, "My son! It's noon now, it's better to go to my house for lunch."
Zhao Fu said with a smile, "No need! I have something to leave first."
The village chief hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Fu, "My son! You don't have to be polite, you must have lunch even if you are busy."
Zhao Fu reluctantly came to the village chief's house.
As soon as the village chief arrived home, he loudly shouted said, "Old lady! Quickly kill the hen in my house, there are nobles in the house, and the little cow, get out of me."
The old woman took a look when she heard the words. The village head smiled and understood the importance of the matter. Without saying anything, she grabbed a chicken and walked into the back kitchen.
A stubborn little boy also ran out at this time, discontentedly said, "Grandpa! What are you asking me for?"
The village chief said with a smile on his face, "Come here! I have seen this adult, he is a high official in the court, do you want to be an official in the future? Do you want to work for Da Qin? Do you want to see your majesty? "
Hearing this, the little boy ran over in surprise and said with a smile, "My lord! Hello."
Zhao Fu understood the village chief's thoughts, and he should have drawn himself for the future of his little grandson.
However, Zhao Fu was not disgusted either, but he could understand a little, smiled and nodded.
Then, the village chief took Zhao Fu to the table in the living room and asked with a smile, "I don't know the name of the son? Where is the highest position in the court?"
Zhao Fu replied with a chuckle, "My surname is Zhao, I'm just a small official in Xianyang, nothing great."
The village head was a little surprised and said, "Our majesty is also surnamed Zhao, this surname is blessed! Unfortunately, our surname is Zhang."
