Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"Okay, okay, I can't keep you anymore, go and see your godmother, these days I have a big belly, people are easy to get tired, it's time to get up now, you go and see her." The Queen Mother of Huayang After looking at the sky, he planned to ask Li Jiyang to go and see Zhao Ji.

Although I don't know how deep the friendship between Zhao Ji's mother and son is with this Qin Anjun, but since the two of them came back, Qin Anjun has paid tribute a lot.

Compared to Lu Buwei who stopped talking to her after using her, of course she likes Li Jiyang more!

And what else can she use now?A queen mother is not her own. She is satisfied that Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji can respect her as always.

"By the way, you go there, you can't tease her like you teased us, it's not good to laugh too much." Xia Ji reminded Li Jiyang with concern: "Just keep her happy."

"No!" Li Jiyang bowed and said goodbye, and went to visit Zhao Ji again.

"There are two more months, it's time to give birth?" Li Jiyang looked at the big belly, a little worried, wanted to touch it, but didn't dare.

"It's almost there. This child has been moving a lot lately." Zhao Ji lovingly touched her stomach. This child came unexpectedly.

"Now I may turn around in your womb to find the best birth position!" Li Jiyang watched the baby grow so big in Zhao Ji's womb, and he has been taking all kinds of supplements, giving him a sense of accomplishment.

"Maybe!" Zhao Ji heard this argument for the first time, and felt it was funny, but knowing that Li Jiyang was trying to make her relax, she let go of her worries.

"Godmother, is there anything you need here?" Li Jiyang asked the purpose of his visit: "It seems to be the beginning of spring on New Year's Eve." "What can I lack here?" Zhao Ji said with a smile: "You almost every day Come, bring something with you every time you come, the warehouse in the palace has been filled by you."

Li Jiyang scratched his head and laughed.

Because Zhao Ji didn't lack anything here, Li Jiyang chatted with her for a long time, until Zhao Ji was tired and sleepy and went back to sleep, he left something to see Ying Zheng.

At this time, they had already finished their discussions and were talking about some affairs of various countries for Ying Zheng to listen to.

In the past, Yingzheng was not qualified to discuss politics, and what he listened to was mostly about his own country. He didn't know anything about outside affairs. Gan Lei once taught him some things, and now many people are teaching him.

Yingzheng was like a piece of sea, absorbing these things as if he was trying his best to absorb water. He remembered what everyone told him, and even after he went back, he secretly pondered it.

He knows that this is the current form. He has the final say in the country, and he has to pay attention to it abroad. Now that he has just ascended the throne, I don't know how many people outside are paying attention to him.

When Li Jiyang came to see him, it happened to be the time when everyone was about to retreat to rest.

"They all use some mutton soup in the side hall before going back. It's so cold outside, don't freeze!" Ying Zheng is also very concerned about the ministers now, at least it seems so on the surface.

"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone was really happy, and they went to the side hall. There was not only mutton soup, but also mutton bones with meat, sprinkled with fine salt and seasonings, vegetables and fruits, and tofu was indispensable.

In the main hall, Ying Zheng also took Li Jiyang back and started eating.

The winter days are short, so Li Jiyang still accepts two meals. The sun is westward for dinner, and Li Jiyang will only leave the palace when the mountain is about to set.

"I went to the harem to deliver something again today?" Ying Zheng thought of Li Jiyang's habits, and knew that he would definitely give it.

"Here, some thicker fabrics are given to the two palace queens and godmothers, each with five horses. The seasoning powder in the palace is gone. The ones they made are not as delicious as mine. I will send some to the palace tomorrow. , because I didn’t go hunting, and now there is a lack of wild game, I will collect some tomorrow, what kind of game do you want to eat?” Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng, “Wild game?” Ying Zheng thought for a while: “Wolf meat?”

"Venison, right?" Li Jiyang wanted to see Qin Shihuang eat venison.

Compete in the world!

"See if there is any rabbit meat. Those are small and easy to hunt." Ying Zheng was afraid that Li Jiyang would go hunting on his own, and it was not impossible.

"Oh, yes!" Li Jiyang picked up the rice: "I'll let Li Xiang think of a way when I go back, or go back to Zhuangzi to have a look?"

"Today they said a lot. The countries are still very concerned about Qin. Now they are not moving because of the weather. There are almost no people fighting in winter. They are afraid that after the spring of next year, so now they are discussing how to prevent other people's wars. "Ying Zheng stayed with those people for a day, and when chatting with Li Jiyang, he complained: "Now you can't attack, you can only defend."

"That can't be helped. Who kept you young?" Li Jiyang swallowed what was in his mouth: "It's inevitable to be looked down upon by others. We just need to live our own lives. There are infinite possibilities in the future."

Ying Zheng felt much better after hearing this: "That's the only way to go^"

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time!" Li Jiyang comforted him: "We will destroy them all sooner or later!"

"Yeah!" Ying Zheng nodded heavily. He felt aggrieved these days, but he still had to hold back his anger and let the ministers say this or that. Xiaoyang's words were nice and could be said into his heart.

After enlightening Ying Zheng, having dinner, and leaving the palace with a group of adults, Lu Buwei deliberately walked behind, and waited for the people to leave before talking to Gan Lei: "How is Mr. Gan?"

"Very good." Gan Lei also smiled and said, "No one is choking my life, of course it's good."

Lu Buwei was choked by these words. At the beginning, he was planning to subdue Gan Lei and his son, but he was taken away by Li Jiyang halfway!

Gan Lei also knows what Lu Buwei has done, and he is particularly disgusted with him!

"That day Lu was just..." Lu Buwei wanted to explain, but how could he explain it?

No one is a fool, Li Jiyang came over and pulled Gan Lei with a smile: "Sir, go home quickly, Xiao Gan Luo is still waiting at home^"

"Well, Xiangguo, I'm leaving!" Gan Lei cupped his hands, and immediately left accompanied by Li Jiyang without looking back.

No matter how unwilling Lu Buwei was, he didn't dare to do anything to Gan Lei at this time, because Gan Lei was obviously Ying Zheng's adviser now.

Ying Zheng also treated him with courtesy, and trusted Gan Lei more than his biological father.

On the second day, Li Jiyang didn't go to the court. Anyway, that's all he said. He started dumping things in the palace, and let Li Xiang go back to Lijiazhuang. Anyone who has time can go hunting game, and he can go anywhere if he doesn't have time. Buy some, no matter what kind of wild animals, as long as they are bought, the purchase price is higher.

Three days later, Li Jiyang entered the palace again, bringing ten stones of seasoning powder and countless wild animals, including living deer, rabbits and other wild animals, as well as ferocious animals such as bears and wolves that had been killed.

Gan Lei told Li Jiyang: "During the New Year's Eve banquet, envoys from various countries came to offer congratulatory gifts, and we have to return the gifts."

It is true that Qin State is the most powerful of the vassal states, but the current head of the family is a young lord. If the gift is not appropriate, he will still be criticized. Gan Lei told Li Jiyang in advance that Li Jiyang would help the lord to choose some that are worthy of Qin. Fame in return.

You can't let others say that Qin has a young ruler, and even etiquette has become young.

"Understood!" Li Jiyang thought for a while: "I won't give you anything so valuable, but it must be worthy of Qin's status in the vassal states."

As a result, during dinner at night, Li Jiyang told Ying Zheng what Gan Lei meant, but Ying Zheng said, "Don't worry, a country can just give you the skills to make dried tofu."

"Ah?" Li Jiyang looked up at Ying Zheng with a leg of lamb in his mouth: what do you mean?

"When they ascended the throne last time, they were late for the delicacy of my Qin country. They never forgot about it. I wanted to ask for the recipe for making soy products. This year I will give you a dried tofu, next year I will give you a tofu brain, and the year after that I will give you a recipe. Dried tofu, fermented bean curd for the next year..." Ying Zheng ordered all the soy products, at least ten years later!

In ancient times, the craftsmanship was passed down from family to family, and it was still reserved for apprentices, so this recipe is extremely precious in the eyes of outsiders.

However, Qin State has the confidence to give it out, which proves that this thing is nothing in Qin State.

If the water is deep and the water is shallow, those politicians will come up with infinite possibilities, as long as Li Jiyang, the founder, nods.

"That really saves a little bit!" Li Jiyang swallowed the meat in his mouth: "It's just, is this okay?"

"It's fine as long as you agree." Ying Zheng didn't care: "Whether you want it or not, they don't even charge for the formula!" Li Jiyang thought that when King Zhuang Xiang was alive, he took a lot of things from other countries to make tofu. spread out.

He was completely speechless about Ying Zheng.

The twelfth lunar month is very cold, and there has been snow for a few days. Li Jiyang looked at the weather with a bit of anxiety. I am afraid that next year will be an eventful year.

According to historical records, the rebellion was successfully suppressed in the first year, but because of Li Jiyang's relationship, the rebellion was successfully suppressed very quickly, and next year will be the first year of Yingzheng.

In the second year, Duke Ying led an army to attack Juanyi and killed 3 people.

In ancient times, 3 people were already a lot, let alone killed.

But from the beginning of three years, there was a famine in Qin State, and it was even worse in four years, and there was a plague of locusts.

Li Jiyang decided to ask Yingzheng to store grain from next year. Within a year or two, if the grain is well preserved, it will not rot. If it exceeds three years, the grain will be useless.

Moreover, it is not easy to preserve things in ancient times, so it may not be possible to preserve them for three years!

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng saw that he didn't eat, and was in a daze, thinking that he was not happy to give things to other countries for free: "But don't want to?"

"Ah? No!" Li Jiyang hastened to eat: "Just give it. If we don't give that thing, others will research it. Instead of letting others advance, it's better for us to save something ^"

If you give Fangzi, you won't give anything else. To be honest, Li Jiyang is reluctant to give away anything. Fangzi, who is a derivative of tofu, must be willing.

It was decided to Fangzi, even if it was over, Li Jiyang told Yingzheng about the outside affairs, now that Yingzheng can't leave the palace, only Li Jiyang can tell him, who else can tell him these things?

"I think the mountains are covered by heavy snow outside, and it is easy to cause disaster." Li Jiyang thought for a while: "Should we share some food? At least give some food to the common people, so that they can eat to keep out the cold^"

"I don't dare to touch the things in the treasury, and you sent all the things in the palace!" Ying Zheng thought that he couldn't move the treasury now, so what relief would he have?

"It's simple, you give a little, I give a little, Mr. Gan gives a little, Lu Xiangguo gives a little, everyone put together, it's enough." At this time, the land of Qin State was not much, and Xianyang was the most famous one. Hangu Pass, the land of Hanzhong and Bashu, borders the Yuezhi and Qiang clans.

Li Jiyang felt that a small place has the advantages of a small place, and that if disaster relief can be delivered to the people quickly, "that's good." Ying Zheng also didn't want to have a catastrophe in his first year as the throne.

After the morning court on the second day, during the discussion in the palace, Lu Buwei mentioned this matter. But Lu Buwei found an opportunity, and was the first to respond: "My minister seconded the proposal! Donate five hundred sheep! Fifty cows."

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister donated one hundred shi of grain." Gan Lei said that it was a hundred shi of grain, which was much more generous than Lu Buwei: "Five hundred sheep and twenty cows."

He has this confidence because of the family property that Li Jiyang set up for him, which is generous.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister donated fifty shi of grain and two hundred sheep^" Wang Wan followed closely. But Wang Wan didn't want to give things away for those common people, so she said a lot less.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister is willing to donate a hundred cows!" General Wang Jian said in a buzzing voice: "Fifty stones of grain!"
