Chapter 543: The Wang Family in Qingshui County
Ying Yuan and A Qing stayed awake all night.
Even if the latter is one of the best masters in the world.
After being tossed around all night, I couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.
For Ah Qing, the world she likes and yearns for has always been the world of martial arts.
She did not stay in the Xianyang Palace forever.
Instead, he made up an excuse and planned to leave.
"You asked Lord Yu to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil, and there might be a place for me among the people."
No matter what, Ah Qing was kind-hearted and believed that he could help Ying Yuan more in the world.
The latter also knew that leaving Ah Qing in Xianyang was tantamount to killing her.
After a moment, he could only say solemnly:
"Since you insist on leaving, I won't stop you."
"But you have to make three rules with me. You must come to Xianyang once every season."
After hearing this, Ah Qing did not refuse.
Ying Yuan added, "It just so happens that I also want to go for a walk. Why don't you join me?"
Ah Qing was very curious and asked, "Are you going on a secret visit?"
Ying Yuan nodded and said, "Over the years, we have been engaged in foreign wars and inevitably neglected the people of our Great Qin."
"In this capital, I can only hear the officials praising us, saying that we are now in a prosperous era."
"However, I will only believe what the lives of the ordinary people living at the bottom of society are like after I see it with my own eyes."
To be honest, Ying Yuan might not be a good emperor.
But he was definitely an emperor who loved his people like his own children.
His bottom line is the people.
Ah Qing thought for a moment and said, "There are too many people in other countries who want to kill you. You shouldn't go out."
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "I am not afraid. After all, you are by my side."
Ah Qing smiled and said, "I'm actually very curious. You're so powerful, is there anyone in this world that you're afraid of?"
"Like, someone you think could kill you?"
Ying Yuan thought seriously, and finally, he looked towards the distant east.
"Perhaps."
It's just maybe.
Three days later.
Ying Yuan and A Qing left Xianyang and went on secret visits to various places in the Central Plains.
Now, there are Cao Cao and others in the court.
As the emperor, his absence for a period of time will not have any impact at all.
Although Ying Yuan said that no one was allowed to follow on this trip.
However, for safety reasons, Cao Cao discussed the matter with a group of ministers.
Still sent out 10,000 experts.
Among them, one thousand people came from the three major factory guards.
The other nine thousand people were all carefully selected experts from the imperial guards.
They hid in the dark, ready to be dispatched by Ying Yuan at any time.
Ying Yuan was also helpless about this.
With his skills, safety is not a problem.
But if you don't listen to the opinions of the officials.
I'm afraid he won't be able to leave Xianyang City at all.
After all, those scholars and officials are all tough guys.
If you are not careful, there will be a few more blood marks on the big pillars in the hall.
Therefore, we can only let the officials make arrangements.
Along the way, he and Ah Qing went to many places.
But they are basically in the countryside.
Every time he arrived at a village, Ying Yuan would stay for about half an hour to learn about the villagers' recent situation.
They barely made it to the city.
Because the people living in towns and cities only account for a very small minority of the Qin Dynasty.
There is no political value in visiting there.
Suddenly one day, Ying Yuan saw about a hundred acres of fertile land, and he was overjoyed.
He quickly went forward, picked an ear of wheat, rubbed it in his hands, and blew on it.
Then he saw the plump and rich grains of millet, which Ying Yuan regarded as white jade.
Then, he put it in his mouth and chewed it, smiling at Ah Qing beside him:
"This year is destined to be a bumper harvest year. The local people will have a feast."
Ah Qing said bluntly, "There are no ditches between the hundreds of acres of land. It's obviously one family's property. What does it have to do with the common people?"
Hearing this, Ying Yuan was reminded. He walked up to an old man who was busy with farming and asked with a smile:
"Can I have a bowl of water if I'm passing by here?"
The old man saw that Ying Yuan was dressed like an ordinary farmer, so he poured him a bowl of water without hesitation.
"Outsider, judging from your accent, are you from Xianyang?"
Ying Yuan took a sip of water and immediately said with a smile: "Old man, you have good eyesight!"
The old man seemed to be tired from the busy farming, so he sat down at the edge of the field, wanting to rest for a while.
"Do you have any land in Xianyang?"
Ying Yuan nodded, "Of course there are. Ever since Duke Yang of Wei's reforms, every household has been able to obtain land."
A look of envy flashed across the old man's face for a moment, and then he sighed softly.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan asked in confusion: "Why is the old man unhappy?"
The man said, "My ancestors have been farming for generations. I've been farming all my life, but I don't know when I'll be able to get some land of my own!"
Ying Yuan was greatly puzzled. "Didn't Duke Yang of Wei reform the land system a few years ago?"
"Logically, you should be able to obtain your own land."
“If we don’t get it, then who owns these lands?”
The old man sighed again and said, "Since you are a stranger, it's okay to tell you."
After a pause, he began to speak slowly:
"Five years ago, Duke Yang of Wei carried out land reforms in accordance with Your Majesty's order. At that time, we did receive our own land."
"But later, we were threatened by Old Master Wang in the county town, so we had no choice but to return our land to Old Master Wang."
