Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

The four of them entered Zhao Ze's camp, and all of them stared at the expression on Zhao Ze's face vigilantly, for fear of seeing a trace of anger on his face.

Zhao Ze watched them lower their heads, stared at him cautiously and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this? It seems that you have done something wrong. Could it be that you are afraid that I will be held accountable for what happened before?"

?"

Zhao Ze asked this on purpose. He didn't investigate the local magistrate and county magistrate, but it didn't mean he didn't know about those things.

It's just that he thinks that there are not many clean officials, and the previous Hedan did not belong to the Qin State, so there is no need to strictly investigate.

Of course, he also knew the tricks of the magistrate and the three county magistrates, and knew that they had filled a lot of money into the county's account these days.

Asked by him like this, the magistrate and the three county magistrates panicked, shook in place, and then knelt down without saying a word.

The magistrate begged for mercy and said, "General, we were really obsessed with our duties before, and did some things that were not conducive to the common people, but we have tried our best to make up for it."

"General, spare your life! Spare me!"

"That's right, we can make up for whatever is missing, as long as we don't kill us."

The county magistrate who spoke kowtowed three times on the spot, bang bang, and when he got up, he did not forget to help the black gauze hat on his head.

Seeing his actions, Zhao Ze sneered in his heart.

At this time, I can still take care of my black hat. When I did those bad things, why didn't I think that my head would fall to the ground one day, and the black hat would not be safe?

Seeing several people kneeling on the ground tremblingly, Zhao Ze said lightly: "Get up, I came to you today not because of the previous matter."

"But since you all said it, the bill still needs to be filled."

"In a few days, I will let General Li go there. If there are too many gaps in the investigation, don't blame me. When the time comes, it will be dealt with directly according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

The management of the Qin Dynasty is much stricter than that of the Guishuang Kingdom. If any corrupt officials are found in the court, they will basically be executed on the spot, and there will be basically no survivors.

Several prefects and county magistrates know the laws of Qin State, so they are afraid these days.

If it was in Guishuang country, they might have passed some bribes.

And they were unlucky, they met the eldest prince of Qin, and bribery could not settle the matter, so they could only use money to fill the debt they had eaten before.

Seeing that Zhao Ze did not intend to execute them, the prefect and county magistrate kowtowed in gratitude.

The magistrate even promised again and again: "Thank you general for not killing me. I promise that I will fill in the account in a few days."

The county magistrate also followed suit.

Zhao Ze responded a few times, told them to stand up, and then began to ask about silkworm rearing.

The three county magistrates shook their heads in bewilderment when they heard that sericulture was only suitable for them. They had no idea what Zhao Ze was talking about.

Seeing that they didn't know, Zhao Ze was a little surprised, and then thought maybe this was normal.

Zhao Ze speculates that it may be that silk fabrics are not yet widely available, and not everyone in every region knows about them.

He only knew that silk clothing has been popularized in many areas of Chu State, and there are already many silk cloth products in circulation in the market.

This was discovered when Zhao Ze went to Chu State last time.

At that time, he believed that not only Chu, but other countries should have cloth made of silk.

But now I know that it was only circulated in Chu State.

After learning about this, Zhao Ze knew that a business opportunity was coming.

The less people know about something, the more valuable it is.

He immediately asked the prefect and county magistrate to go to the local area to gather the people to plant fresh mulberry saplings.

Then they were asked to pick insect eggs from mulberry trees.

Put the picked eggs into a box covered with mulberry leaves.

In order to test whether the local climate can artificially breed silkworm eggs, Zhao Ze first used 100 silkworm eggs for experiments.

After 5 days, the silkworm eggs have eaten nearly hundreds of catties of mulberry leaves and finally turned into silkworm cocoons.

After waiting for a few days, the silkworm eggs have almost formed.

Zhao Ze then asked people to pick out the eggs from the silkworm cocoons, and then directly picked out the silkworm chrysalis by pulling silk and peeling the cocoons, washed them and put them away.

After drying, the silk turns into crystal clear white, and then after being processed by workers, it becomes a piece of cloth.

The color of the cloth is also crystal clear white, so it needs a process of dyeing.

The fabric after dyeing is completely similar to the fabric that is circulated in the field in daily life, but you can feel the silky touch when you touch it carefully.

Compared with ordinary cotton and linen, it is almost several times more comfortable to wear on the body.

After the first piece of ready-to-wear is finished, Zhao Ze is also very satisfied with wearing it.

Li Xin and Nuo Erliang were also surprised when they saw it.

Li Xin was straight-hearted, and said in surprise: "Prince, are the clothes on your body really made by those bugs? How is this possible? It's too far away?"

The bugs they saw last time were squirming and disgusting bugs, but now the bugs turned into the clothes Zhao Ze was wearing.

The fabric is still so silky to the touch, and the texture is simply the best fabric they have ever touched, which makes them really unable to think of the return process of processing.

As soon as the finished product came out, Zhao Ze knew that Hedan could raise silkworms.

The fine texture of these silks is also attributed to the local geographical climate and mulberry leaves.

After confirming that the sericulture industry could be developed, Zhao Li immediately spread the posters in Danhe City.

All farmers who grow silkworms can receive a subsidy of five taels of silver in the Qin military camp, but the local farmers need to hand over a certain amount of cicada pupae after one month.
