Good Life in Qin Dynasty

On the other side, Li Jiyang returned home happily, and when he entered, he took a special look at Wenxinhou's Mansion over there.

The servant guarding the gate shrunk his neck in shock.

Lu Buwei and Lu Xiangguo also shrank their necks.

Lu Buwei really wanted to find Li Jiyang, didn't he? After he came back, he sent people out. He sent people out in an open and aboveboard manner. The whole territory of Daqin would investigate to see if it was delivered!

He was anxiously waiting for the replies from those people, and only those around Xianyang got the fastest feedback: all have been delivered!

"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Lu Buwei muttered to himself.

But at this time, Yang Feiying came.

"Let him in!" Lu Buwei clapped the table, his face full of anger.

But who knew that Yang Feiying was the first to steal the crowd as soon as he came in: "Master Xiangguo, what's the matter? Qin Anjun asked someone to prepare a banquet when he came back, and said that thanks to the help of the second senior brother, he pointed at your mansion and yelled, saying that you are with me!" Like a mad dog, he sent a group of puppies to guard the door of his house, but he didn't catch anything?"

Lu Buwei: "...!"

"Besides, he was still puzzled. You didn't tell me, so how did you know?" Yang Feiying sat down very angrily: "You still ask who I am from?"

Lu Buwei: "...!"

"Who am I from? Who else can I be from!" Yang Feiying finished speaking in one breath, without giving Lu Buwei a chance to intervene.

"Then how did he deliver things last night?" Lu Buwei asked him angrily.

"I don't know!" Yang Feiying said with a look of "I can't tell the pain": "Obviously people are guarding, and I didn't see him go out, let alone anyone else, and I was at home. I didn’t rest until midnight, so I didn’t figure it out^”

Lu Buwei choked: "Didn't see anyone? Didn't there be any movement?"

"Now Gan Lei has become a Sheren and moved to the Sheren Mansion. Now I live in the place where Gan Lei used to live, which is the closest yard to the main courtyard!" Yang Feiying said: "It's just like that he!"

"Then how did he do it?" Lu Buwei was even more puzzled.

"Who knows? It's really unknown!" Yang Feiying was even more distressed, and complained to Lu Buwei by the way: "He has turned Gan Lei into a carer, and I am nothing at all!"

"Do well with him, and there will always be a place for you in the future." Now he can't see through Li Jiyang more and more, and he doesn't dare to call Yang Feiying back casually.

Although Yang Feiying didn't give him any useful information, it's better to have someone like him there than no one!

Yang Feiying left the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin unwillingly.

When he returned to Qin Anjun's mansion, Li Jiyang was also waiting for him.

"How's it going?" Li Jiyang saw him coming in, and immediately asked Chunya to scoop up a bowl of sweet soy milk.

Now there is white sugar in the space, but it is a pity that there is no outside, so this sweet soy milk is only available in the palace and Qin Anjun's mansion, other places, not even Wenxinhou's mansion!

"It's been fooled!" Yang Feiying smiled triumphantly: "It turns out that he is not so smart!"

I used to think that Lu Buwei was really smart. If he was not smart, how could he climb from a businessman to a high position in the country?Now!

In fact, it doesn't look like anything.

"That's good!" Li Jiyang knew he had read Yang Feiying correctly: "It's just that, Mr. Yang won't be able to be an official for a while^"

He had discussed with Ying Zheng that it would be a waste for someone like Yang Feiying to be his retainer. Anyway, now is the time for them to train their own people, so it is better to give Yang Feiying an official position.

The prefect of Xianyang is not bad, right under his nose, he can also control the entire Xianyang city for Yingzheng.

"Don't worry about this." Yang Feiying waved his hand: "I'll recruit you a suitable customer first, then talk about it^"

"Okay then!" Li Jiyang thought for a while: "Whenever you want to go out and take care of things, just tell me about your household."

Li Jiyang is not Lu Buwei, he wants to keep any talent under his command for Ying Zheng, it is too wasteful for such a talent to be his servant, Yang Feiying is very careful about small matters.

Very suitable for some grinding work.

And because Xianyang City is the capital of the king, there are members of the royal family, so it is easy to manage. The big things are in charge of the country, and the small things are in charge of the county.

"I think I like the job of fooling people!" Yang Feiying yearns for this very much: "I wish to follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi."

"Let's forget it then!" Li Jiyang stood up and stretched his waist: "The two endings are not good."

Yang Feiying: "...!"

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, a New Year's Eve banquet was held. This was the first time that the new ruler held a New Year's Eve banquet, and Li Jiyang finally participated in the whole process of the New Year's Eve banquet.

Last year, he was called to come over when he was participating. This time, he wanted to stay by Ying Zheng's side, so the first thing he saw were the hostages in Qin from various countries!

Among them, most of them are princes!

For example, the prince of Zhao State has been a hostage in Qin State for several years, and he has never returned to China.

But looking at the way His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhao is talking and laughing, he should be having a good time!

Thinking of Ying Zheng's life in Zhao State, he became angry, and secretly said to Ying Zheng, "He's living a comfortable life!"

"He is the prince of a country, and I was just a grandson at that time." There is no way to compare in terms of status.

If his treatment is only three points of respect, the other party will at least have eight points of respect!

Because this is the legitimate son of the king of Zhao, the future king of Zhao.

Li Jiyang swept his eyes, okay, Prince Zhao, Prince Wei, Prince Chu, etc. are all on the list!

The rest are also the heirs of various small countries.

All of them are legitimate sons, only the lord of Yan, who was also the hostage of Qin in the past, but later returned to inherit the position of lord, and is also very respectful to Qin.

It's just that he didn't send a proton, because Yan State is still a little far away from Qin State, and he has a little friendship with Qin State, so he thinks he is very good, and the leader of Qin State is only a child now, so he didn't send a proton.

What's more, Crown Prince Dan of Yan is still a hostage in another country!

There is only such a crown prince in the Yan Kingdom, and this is the only son of the King of Yan.

"How you lived back then, tell him how to live!" Li Jiyang grumbled angrily.

"That's impossible. I'm not in charge yet, and I can't give orders. If someone joins forces, I'll be exhausted." Seeing Li Jiyang's angry look, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Didn't you say that at this moment , at that moment? Sooner or later we will pacify these countries!"

"Yeah!" Ying Zheng nodded, but he was still very angry. During the banquet, he kept a straight face, and his serious expression made Ying Zheng smile frequently.

The protons of all countries have a small heart. Seeing that Ying Zheng has a good attitude, they all think that the new king is still good. The proton mansion where they live treats them very politely.

In fact, it was because Ying Zheng had also been a proton before, and he knew it was not easy to be a proton, especially when those protons were all legitimate sons, of course he had to let someone take good care of them.

But Qin Anjun's attitude was different. All the ministers of the state of Qin had a good attitude towards the protons, but Qin Anjun ignored them and had a cold attitude.

However, the king of Qin seemed to care about him, which made these protons treat Qin Anjun more politely, for fear that he would find something bad and go mad.

The atmosphere of this banquet was very contradictory, Ying Zheng hurried to coax Li Jiyang after the meal, it is true that Xiao Yang is not usually angry, but when he gets angry, it is a big deal.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. It doesn't matter to us how those people's lives are. Aren't they all prisoners in the future?" At this time, Ying Zheng really wished that he would rule the world immediately, so that Li Jiyang would not have to face him again. To those who make themselves angry.

"Tell them not to come out in the Proton Mansion, and let me bully them once I see them!" Li Jiyang was aggrieved, "Well, okay!" At this time, what Li Jiyang said was what.

But Ying Zheng was afraid that Li Jiyang would not know how to dive deep, and would really do something to protons, so he told him about these protons.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes often "protoned" each other, that is, pledged their sons to allies as a guarantee of keeping the contract, which was a means to win the trust of each other.

Under equal conditions, protons are equal to each other and will be respected.

But most of the time it is because of demands from others, and "hostage" becomes a unilateral act. The so-called "a strong country wants to treat the weak, so the leftover sons and noble ministers are the hostages."

Forget about noble ministers, they usually use their sons as hostages to show their sincerity.

The stranger was pledged to Zhao as a king and grandson, and he was regarded as a rare commodity by the businessman Lu Buwei. He made political investments, and finally made him return to Qin and ascended to the throne as King Zhuangxiang. He became the prime minister of the state of Qin, and was granted the title of Marquis Wenxin by Jin Dynasty.

From the humblest merchant to a great nobleman.

The proton is hostile to the other party. If the status is not valuable enough, the treatment he receives is relatively poor. Qin Yiren was very poor in Zhao State, because his father, King Qin Xiaowen, didn't like this son very much, so among the more than 20 sons, Choose him to be a proton.

However, because of the defeat of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, Zhao Guo was afraid that Qin's cavalry would come to Zhao, so he sent his own country's prince to Qin as a hostage.

The same is true for the rest of the countries, but the Qin State sent the concubine and the unfavored prince and grandson as hostages. At that time, the Qin State was majestic and majestic, and all countries still held their noses to recognize it!

At that time, King Zhuang Xiang suffered hardships in Zhao State, but Prince Xi, who had already been killed in rebellion, enjoyed the life of a respected prince's son in the palace, so he was revenged by King Zhuang Xiang later, and he was almost scared crazy!

As soon as he heard that King Zhuang Xiang was dead, he immediately rebelled. The father would not give himself a way out, and the son would be even more unscrupulous.

Looking at the protons from all over the world, Li Jiyang has a deeper understanding of this era.

This is the political diplomacy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It fully embodies the five words "a strong country has no diplomacy". Even the prince can be sent as a proton, what else can't be done?

"A powerful country has no diplomacy?" Ying Zheng thought about it carefully: "It really makes sense."

If Qin State was not strong and prosperous, how could other countries send princes, eldest sons, and legitimate sons as hostages, while Qin State sent the princes and grandchildren, or the princes and grandchildren of the common sons, as hostages?

Moreover, when the first king was in Zhao State, Qin State did not show softness to Zhao State because of his relationship. Instead, it was time to fight and attack the city, without hesitation at all!

I heard from A Niang that the former king was almost killed many times by the Zhao people to sacrifice the flag!

Why not?

It is because the Qin State is strong, afraid that after killing the proton, Qin State will have more excuses to go to war.

At that time, Zhao Guo will not be able to stop it.

During the New Year's Eve banquet, the protons also appeared, but they ate in a separate area, and the diplomatic missions from various countries also took the opportunity to look at their future masters.

The New Year's Eve banquet was hosted by the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces and co-organized by Li Jiyang. Compared with the previous New Year's Eve banquets, although the king was still a young boy, the specifications of the palace banquet were absolutely correct.

Vegetarian tofu and tofu products, as well as various fresh vegetables, game also includes bear paws, venison, etc., even rabbit and pheasant, followed by pork, mutton, and finally beef.

It's all big meat, big meals, and the staple food includes rice, yellow noodles, white flour pies, and even soup cakes!

Li Jiyang played tricks, he asked someone to make mushroom meat marinade, and scooped water noodles for Ying Zheng to eat.

"What is this?" The soup cakes that Yingzheng had eaten were all noodles in hot soup, and they were eaten with marinade. It was the first time I saw them: "Take out the soup cakes? Is this still there? What?"

"Braised noodles." Li Jiyang said: "Mushroom stewed meat, mixed with it."

It was the first time for Yingzheng to eat this way, and it was the first time for others, so everyone knew about stewed noodles at the New Year's Eve banquet this year.
