Good Life in Qin Dynasty

When [-] chose people to make space with him, when Han Fei was practicing speaking, when Li Si was regretting, what was Li Jiyang doing now?

He is studying what to eat!

Thinking that it was inconvenient to eat in the army, Li Jiyang thought of a way, what?It's instant food seasoning cubes, which they used to bring with them every time they were doing archaeology.

Because if they are lucky, they can eat and live in the homes of fellow villagers; if they are unlucky, they can only fiddle with it in the wild.

And most of the time, their luck is bad....

The method of making it is also simple, that is, grind the seasoning into fine noodles, mix it with butter to form a hard lump, and wrap it with a layer of cowhide. It can also be stewed with dry cakes or dried meat. The main thing is convenience.

After Li Jiyang finished speaking, the aunts in the kitchen became interested. The finished product was the same size as a green brick, wrapped in clean cooked cowhide, cut off a piece with a knife and thrown into hot water, and boiled for a while. You can drink it when you open it. There are butter, sheep oil, and even chicken oil, goose oil, and lard. The taste is very rich.

After the experiment, I think stewed radish in butter is delicious, steamed buns in sheep oil are good, chicken oil is suitable for wild vegetable soup and stewed wild vegetables, lard is suitable for stewing with dried vegetables, goose oil is best for stewing, everything If you don't let it go, it will become a bowl of soup.

As soon as seasoning oil cubes came out, the Qin army stationed in northern Xinjiang liked it the most. It was colder there and less hot, which was exactly where a lot of fat was needed to provide calories.

Li Jiyang generously sent over a hundred carts, all kinds of flavors, and marked them on the outer packaging of the cowhide, drawing a calf for butter, sheep for sheep, and so on.

In addition, various dried vegetables and pickled vegetables were also sent over.

Fresh vegetables are impossible, even if Li Jiyang can have someone transport them there, it would be too eye-catching. They can only be transported over dried vegetables, but they also grow vegetables locally. After Li Jiyang sent people over, he bought some fresh vegetables locally at a high price for the army Same goes for sending.

It can also allow civilians to get some money to live on.

Sure enough, this move was unanimously welcomed by the soldiers and civilians on the border, and the local people also sighed: Since the king took the throne, their life has become better day by day.

In the originally sparsely populated border, there were still people carrying autumn vegetables to sell from afar, and Li Jiyang also asked people to buy them all according to the order. Anyway, there are so many Qin soldiers, and each person eats a lot!

In addition to firewood for food, Li Jiyang sent a lot of charcoal and even coal. The coal at this time was called "Shijing".

People don't know how to mine coal in shafts, and there are no coal mines. Most of them are open-pit coal mines in the mountains where the ground is opened to produce coal, but there are not many of them, and they are not welcomed by people.

Li Jiyang sent it to the army because of the long burning time and high heat, so that they can cook. There are charcoal fires and kangs for heating. The tents in the army in the north are all made of cotton cloth, with a layer of cowhide sewn on top. A layer of sheepskin keeps you warm.

At the same time, various grain stores were buying grains at fair prices, which did not make the common people suffer. Although the Qin State had a small harvest, it did not reach the point of famine.

Compared to South Korea, it is much worse.

Not to mention the bad harvest, Qin would have to be compensated a lot, including food and grass.

King Han played tricks, he used inferior grains with many grains to make up for it, but old general Meng Ao got into the fan truck directly, and all the grains were blown out!

"If he doesn't play with me, this old man can't get on the fan truck. Who doesn't know about the bad harvest this year? If he dares to play with me, the old man dares to make him cry!" Old General Meng Ao said to the Korean envoy who came Especially impolite: "Let the Lord of Korea be honest, otherwise the old man doesn't mind taking soldiers to visit his capital!"

The South Korean envoy ran back in a pissed off.

Gan Lei cupped his hands towards the old general Meng Ao: "The old general is wise!"

Old General Meng Ao stroked his gray beard and laughed loudly: "It's thanks to Qin Anjun, without his fan car, the old man would have to take his brothers to suffer from being dumb."

After the autumn harvest was over and it was time to pay taxes and rations, Xu Yi approached Li Jiyang and told him his plan after stumbling.

Li Jiyang looked at him in surprise after listening.

Xu Yi looked at Li Jiyang with some embarrassment: "What do you think, my lord?"

"Good! Very good! Very good!" Li Jiyang said excitedly: "It's so good!"

Xu Yi finally smiled: "Really? What do you mean?"

"In a few days, I will take you to see the king!" Li Jiyang clenched his fists: "There is also a stubborn old man, he will help you perfect this idea!"

Xu Yi grinned like a fool.

See the king!

Li Jiyang felt that things in this world were really a coincidence. Xu Yi's idea was to build aqueducts for Qin!

According to his meaning, it is to fertilize the fields with water!

Li Jiyang thought of the value of Zheng Guoqu in the future, and he was even happier about it!

After that day, Li Jiyang kept talking to Xu Yiliang in the room for four or five days, and even made a model with him. Xu Yi was so excited that he walked vigorously for several days.

It was not until those people got used to life in Xianyang City that Ying Zheng summoned these talents from afar.

The first one to summon was not Han Fei, but Zheng Guo.

The old man ate well and dressed well in Xianyang City these days, but he didn’t rest very well. It got better after that.

Li Jiyang was very happy to see the famous Zheng Guo for the first time.

Zheng Guo is not the same as the sculptures of later generations. He is not so good-looking, a bit stooped, and although he is rich and noble, he looks more like a farmer wearing a fancy dress.

"Old Zheng Guo, pay homage to the Lord of Qin." Zheng Guo greeted him as soon as he entered.

No matter how unwilling Zheng Guo is, when facing the lord of a country, he must not omit the etiquette that he should have. This is the special feature of the Warring States Period.

"Get up." Ying Zheng had only heard of Zheng Guo, but had never seen it. He was a little disappointed to see Zheng Guo like this, and glanced at Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang gestured towards him, which meant to treat him well!

Ying Zheng felt tight in his chest: "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Lord of Qin." Zheng Guo's words and demeanor indicated that he was not yet a vassal, otherwise he would not have said "Lord of Qin", but "Lord of the Kingdom".

"Is Mr. Zheng Guo still used to living in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng had no choice but to cheer up and get close to the old man.

"I'm used to it." Zheng Guo bowed his head and responded, "Eat well, sleep well, and soak your feet in a medicine bucket every day. I have never suffered from old leg diseases."

It's really better than in Korea, but no matter how good it is, it's not his home country anymore.

"The old man has resentment in his heart." Li Jiyang said suddenly. He thought Zheng Guo was a talent, but he didn't want Ying Zheng to put down his face and praise him. He could just step down a step, and he wouldn't agree if it was too much.

"Yes, I have resentment in my heart, but it's not against Qin." Zheng Guo looked at Li Jiyang: "This is the famous Qin Anjun, right? I heard that you were the one who proposed the conditions for employing people in South Korea to repay their debts?"

"Not bad." Li Jiyang admitted generously.

"Why?" Zheng Guo frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Qin Guo will be criticized by acting like this?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang a little nervously. This was the first time the two of them faced this kind of old Confucianism alone. Usually, Gan Lei was in the lead, and Ying Zheng didn't realize it yet, but he was still a little bit unconfident when he faced it alone. Fortunately, Li Jiyang was with him.

"I'm afraid." Li Jiyang glanced at Zheng Guo, and said seriously: "But my lord of Qin is more afraid of the dust on the pearl."

Zheng Guo was taken aback by the words "the pearl is covered with dust".

"That's right. Even though I'm young, I still cherish talents. Not to mention replacing gold and silver treasures with talents, even if it's a marriage marriage with a princess from my country of Qin, I wouldn't send a single talent to South Korea." Ying Zheng was speaking while standing. No back pain.

The state of Qin now has only two princesses, who were left by the former king. One is six years old and the other is eight years old, and they are still little girls!

Besides, with South Korea's national power, can Qin be forced to marry the princess?

Li Jiyang slapped him across the face, and a person came in. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his eyes were full of energy, and he was in high spirits.

"Xu Yi, a grass-roots man, has met the lord and Lord Qin An." Although Xu Yi was very excited these days, when he really faced the lord of Qin, he still held his own.

This is the only chance to realize the wishes of the ancestors.

"Get up, give me a seat." Ying Zheng knew about Xu Yi. Li Jiyang told him in advance that he was going to give him a surprise today. This person is a surprise, right?

Li Jiyang specially asked Xu Yi to come here to let Zheng Guo know that Qin State has no shortage of talents to build water conservancy projects. In fact, Xu Yi is only an amateur, and he mainly depends on Zheng Guo.

Xu Yi didn't come alone, he also brought the model that Qin Anjun made together with him, the water conservancy model!

The water conservancy model shows the whole picture of Qin State. Compared with Yingzheng's, one more convenience is that it can be demolished at will. The land there is real land. There are miniature pebbles and streams flow through.

Ying Zheng was also amazed to see it, can the sand table do this?

Li Jiyang and Xu Yi looked at each other, and Xu Yi nodded lightly. For the sake of his ancestor's wish, he will try his best this time.

This kind of thing that can see the whole picture clearly when looking down makes him amazed and surprised at the same time. Is this for an outsider to see?

He didn't say that he would contribute to Qin!

"This is Xu Yi, a descendant of Xu Xing, an agronomist. This is a water conservancy project designed by him. Mr. Zheng Guo, please take a closer look." Li Jiyang pointed to the model in front of him, indicating that Xu Yi could do it.

Xu Yi picked up the grapefruit, took out a tiny shovel, a rake, and a small module, and began to explain: "Mr. Zheng, the boy is going to open the canal from the sharp mouth...and then pass...a detour...."

Zheng Guo was originally unmoved, but what Xu Yi said was what he took for granted. In fact, some places were not feasible.

Although Ying Zheng didn't understand, he thought it was good, so he nodded frequently; Li Jiyang was observing Zheng Guo calmly. He was betting, betting on the enthusiasm of a hydraulic scientist for his work!

"No!" Zheng Guo finally said, "This is a plain. If you want to impact the fertile land, you must build a dam on it, but the upper part is too far away from here, so you can only ditches, and then take the sediment from the bottom to fertilize the field...; and Here, there needs to be a bend so that the upstream water doesn’t flow down...; this side needs a...; that side needs to be widened...; this side is..., that side is...."

Ying Zheng originally thought that what Xu Yi said was pretty good, but Zheng Guo found out a lot of faults!

And Xu Yi was not angry, instead he argued with Zheng Guo: "This is not good, the surrounding area is sandy land, if you build a dam, you will need a lot of stones, and there will be water seepage! There is a waterway here, and it will be widened... ;Here you are always right, it should be better to build a bend... Yes, there is indeed..."

Some Xu Yi agreed, some Xu Yi agreed, and some Xu Yi argued vigorously. The two of them blushed and their necks were thick when they argued. Every word you said to me was like arguing!

Yingzheng was stunned!

Looking at Li Jiyang, he found that Li Jiyang made a gesture towards him, made a fist and gave him a thumbs up.

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched: Is this what Xiaoyang and Xu Yi agreed upon?

Looking back at Zheng Guo, the old man was as sluggish as a plague chicken when he first came here, and now he is simply an old rooster fighting!

The spirit is shaking so much!
