Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 180 Harvest Autumn Feast

Probably because the summer was too hot, the vassal states stopped for a whole summer, and when the autumn was clear, some people were ready to move again.

However, it has nothing to do with Qin. This is the first time that Qin has used new farm tools this year. King Zhuang Xiang is not a thing. When he distributed new farm tools to his country, it was already spring plowing. To get new farm tools back, spring plowing is over!

Time waits for no one!

In this case, Qin State will have the opportunity to use new farm tools this year. Although Qin State has a large area today, it is not as large as when it unified the world later, so it is easy to govern.

This is easy in Li Jiyang's view.

A country, even a small country, has many things to do in governance, especially autumn is the most important season in ancient times. If there is no harvest in autumn, what do you eat in winter?What about next spring?

During the autumn harvest, Li Jiyang returned to Lijiazhuang to sit in town. In fact, the main reason was that Lijiazhuang now cultivated more and more land and harvested more and more. When he went back, he just asked the kitchen to add a meal to show that he valued the autumn harvest.

After becoming Qin Anjun, Li Jiyang still paid taxes and grains as before, and the people in Lijiazhuang remained low-key.

The autumn harvest has always attracted people's attention in any era, especially Qin State used new farm tools this year. Many rulers sent envoys or spies to Qin State to see if they could have a good harvest.

Li Jiyang presided over the autumn harvest at home, and Ying Zheng came to see him, so he told him.

"Aren't they in a hurry? This kind of thing also needs to be watched?" Li Jiyang couldn't understand what the lords were thinking.

"It's one thing for them to watch the excitement. In fact, they also want to see if the new farm tools can effectively increase production. Father Wang played a trick during the spring plowing, so that they didn't have time to use the new farm tools. Now the countries are also waiting and watching. "Ying Zheng explained to him that farming is very important in this era. Wars require food and grass, and people also need food and grass. Food in this era is hard currency other than gold and cloth.

Even on top of gold and cloth, you can wear old clothes if you don’t have new clothes, you can spend nothing if you don’t have gold, and you can starve to death if you don’t have food.

After listening to Ying Zheng's arguments, Li Jiyang laughed so hard that his stomach hurts, and it's the same when he thinks about it. It's useless to eat without food!

As I said earlier, sometimes, even the king has to bend over for food.

"But at present, the effect is very good. The harvest is certain, but I don't know how much the increase will be." Ying Zhengyi talked eloquently there: "The most correct thing my father did this year was to seal you as Qin An. Jun."

Qin An, Qin An, Great Qin An Ding!

Li Jiyang blushed from his praise.

After the autumn harvest, when the weather turned cold, Lijiazhuang paid taxes and food, and reported its own output by the way, which was one-third more than last year.

And all parts of the state of Qin collected taxes and grains and put them into warehouses, and then reported them to the lord of the country. All parts of the state showed their best, and the state of Qin had a good harvest!

The granary couldn't fit anymore, and many new granaries were quickly built to store grain. King Zhuang Xiang couldn't smile for more than ten days after seeing the results.

Another army came to ask for food and wages, and King Zhuang Xiang gave them all without saying a word, and even gave some more, saying that it was for the soldiers, even if they ate an extra meal of meat, it was a gift from the king, and it became popular in the army For a period of time, all kinds of favors of the king.

King Zhuang Xiang was even happier. He was in a good mood and in good health. Zhao Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't say that she loved King Zhuang Xiang deeply, she didn't want him to die now!

It was another year of autumn banquet, this year Li Jiyang was ordered to attend, and Mr. Cheng Jiao changed a lot without seeing Mrs. Wang Jiao!

It is true that he has grown taller, but the whole person looks very gloomy.

"Why has he changed so much?" Li Jiyang couldn't believe it. Last year he was still arrogant, but in the early spring of this year, he still tripped him up!

Why is it wilting like a frosted eggplant now?

"Mrs. Wang Jiao is not even allowed to attend the autumn banquet." Ying Zheng told Li Jiyang: "He begged to see the father, but the father did not!"

Do you still need to see me?

Xiaoyang's new farm tools made the state of Qin have a good harvest, while the Wang family set up a scheme to frame Xiaoyang. The king's father could do whatever he wanted with him. If someone else dared to touch Xiaoyang without his consent, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

It's just that Xiaoyang doesn't know what's going on, the lady in the palace often asks people to find Mrs. Wang Jiao's troubles, and those women really hate Mrs. Wang Jiao, and they even made things difficult for Cheng Jiao. .

Cheng Jiao also has a bad temper, and was irritated by those women many times, and even beat him up a few times!

But then A Niang arranged for them to "encounter" with the king's father with injuries, and Cheng Jiao was reprimanded again.

"That's right!" Li Jiyang didn't have a good impression of Chengjiao's mother and son. The mother was doting and arrogant, and the son was domineering. If someone like Fei Yang was in charge of Qin, he might be another King Wu of Qin.

The type with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

If King Wu of Qin hadn't died early, the state of Qin wouldn't be where it is today.

The two of them whispered, they got close naturally, and pointed at Cheng Jiao. Cheng Jiao's temper was originally bad, and now he has been angry for a long time, and it has reached a critical point, and there is a maid who serves him fruit. , the fruit plate is made of bronze, not as good as the table used by the master of the country, which is made of crystal. Li Jiyang and Ying Zheng are next to the table, and they both use crystal, but the one for Cheng Jiao is bronze!

Compared with the exquisite and clear crystal, the bronze workmanship is exquisite, but it seems a bit crude.

Cheng Jiao held his breath in his heart, and his face turned red!

The maid put down the fruit plate, and he was even angrier when she saw it!

It's fine if the fruit plate is not as good as people's, the fruit on it is a circle smaller than other people's!

In fact, it is because the crystal fruit bowl has a slightly magnifying function, somewhat similar to a magnifying glass, while the bronze one is opaque, so the same fruit looks different in size.

This key is known to modern people, but who knew it in ancient times?There were few crystal products in the first place, Cheng Jiao was so angry that he gave that court lady a big slap in the face!

The "pop" sounded extremely loud!

"Get out!" Cheng Jiao was furious and roared in a low voice.

The palace lady was already stunned by the slap, her ears were buzzing, she didn't hear Mr. Cheng Jiao's words, she lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Such a big movement, even the music of singing and dancing could not cover it, Li Jiyang and Ying Zheng stared at each other with wide eyes.

King Zhuang Xiang sat on it and saw it. Mrs. Zhao Ji calmly poured him a glass of rice wine: "My lord, please use it. This is the first rice wine brewed from the newly harvested rice this year."

"Okay." King Zhuang Xiang took it over, the wine was lukewarm, with the aroma of new rice in the mouth, it was really the best wine.

It's a pity that Zhao Ji didn't allow him to invite him too much, for fear of hurting his body, he only gave him one urn a day, and he didn't give it to others. After a glance, he motioned for someone to go over and help.

A middle-aged lady-in-waiting led four young ladies-in-waiting, two helped the beaten lady down, and the two followed the middle-aged lady-in-waiting to tidy up the place.

None of the group spoke, nor did they greet Cheng Jiao. Cheng Jiao sat there and was watched by others, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

This autumn banquet is more grand than New Year's Eve, and this year is a bumper harvest, and it is a day of great joy, Cheng Jiao did this, it really did not give Zhuang Xiang Wang face.

Obviously, King Zhuang Xiang was really angry.

After the middle-aged grand lady brought the two young maids to tidy up, King Zhuang Xiang glanced over, and said softly, "Since Cheng Jiao doesn't like to be served by others, let him do it himself, and leave the rest to him." The widow retreats."

"No!" The middle-aged lady-in-waiting and the two young ladies just resigned straight away!

Hearing this, Cheng Jiao's face paled a lot in an instant. He never thought that his momentary anger would make the king's father punish him like this!

There were two or three maids serving in other places, and when the food was delivered, there were even four or five people surrounding Li Jiyang and Ying Zheng, and there were quite a few serving the soup.

On the other hand, Cheng Jiao's side didn't have a single waiter!

The maid brought the soup and put it on the table, and the servant brought it over with the food tripod, and then withdrew without anyone staying to serve.

Sitting there, Cheng Jiao was at a loss. Now that Wang Dian belongs to the country, because of his official position, he is not even qualified to enter the palace to receive a banquet, and there is no one to rescue him.

At the moment of embarrassment, Li Jiyang tugged at Ying Zheng's sleeve. Ying Zheng understood what he meant, and the two had a good understanding, but Ying Zheng was not reconciled.

"The overall situation is the most important thing!" Li Jiyang looked at him eagerly.

While everyone is here at this time, behave better!

"Come on, go to Chengjiao's side and help him." Ying Zheng spoke, his face couldn't tell, but he was really unwilling.

With the order of the eldest son Ying Zheng, two servants came over and helped Mr. Cheng Jiao serve the dinner plate. Of course, Mr. Cheng Jiao came to cut the meat himself. Soup.

Ying Zheng's move was naturally eye-catching, especially the senior ministers, who nodded frequently and expressed their appreciation.

Even King Zhuang Xiang said to Zhao Ji, "It's still Zhenger who knows the general idea."

"They're all children, and if they make a fuss, it's over. Can we still be angry for a lifetime?" Zhao Ji gave him some hot vegetables: "You can't always eat meat, you have to eat a la carte."

"Yes, eat some vegetables!" King Zhuang Xiang smiled, he was constipated when he ate too much meat, and he had to eat some vegetables to feel better when he was out of court. Since Zhao Ji knew about it, she would always persuade him to eat some vegetables , and always asked the servant to ask him about Chu Gong's situation.

What he himself disliked, but she cared about it very much.

She loves Zhao Ji even more, Zhao Ji doesn't eat alone, she accepts all the beautiful women in the harem who are willing to cling to her, and then recommends them to King Zhuang Xiang, or when they are looking for fun, they can talk to Zhuang Xiang Wang met by chance.

Compared with Mrs. Wang Jiao's exclusive favorite, Mrs. Zhao Ji has been revered by almost all the women in the harem!

In addition, Mrs. Zhao Ji is generous and confident, and the rewards are all gold, pearls, various jewelry, and cloth, not to mention how honorable she is.

Ying Zheng's help did not make Cheng Jiao feel grateful, on the contrary, Cheng Jiao felt like a thorn in his throat, like a fire burning!

Would he need the help of the former proton?

If it wasn't for the autumn banquet, if it wasn't for the father and king watching, he would have been, long ago...!

Now if you can't bear it, you have to bear it, how happy do you have to be?He can't be happy!

Li Jiyang took the opportunity to greet Ying Zheng: "Look!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Cheng Jiao on the opposite side, and said with a half-hearted smile, "I see it!"

It's okay if Cheng Jiao doesn't want to accept his help, anyway, he helped, it would be better if Cheng Jiao became violent, the king and father must hate him even more.

The courtiers looked down at the two grown-up sons of the royal family above each other, and almost everyone agreed with the eldest son Yingzheng. The second son Cheng Jiao was too restless just now.

Seeing Cheng Jiao deflated, Ying Zheng was in a good mood, and shared a plate of hot vegetables with Li Jiyang. He also disliked eating vegetables on weekdays, but Auntie and Xiaoyang insisted on asking him to eat, so he Barely eat a few bites.

The lords of various countries also knew about the good harvest of the Qin State, and ordered people to bring a lot of gifts to the Qin State to discuss with the lord of the Qin State about new farm tools.

Although the secret workers of various countries are also capable of obtaining new farm tools, but this thing can be concealed for a while but cannot be concealed for a lifetime.

The state of Qin is not a vegetarian either. What if the state of Qin is offended and troops come to attack?

Back then, the alliance of six countries failed to make Qin State bow its head, but was beaten up by Qin State. How long has this happened!
