Good Life in Qin Dynasty

The Queen's Sealing Ceremony was comparable to the National Day, this time Li Jiyang did nothing, he didn't come out in the Panlong Palace every day, and there were at least a million people rushing outside to support him!

Most of them are embroiderers, dresses for queens.

Because there has never been a male queen, this dress has to be different, the upper part requires embroidered phoenix patterns, phoenix birds, but no phoenix!

This request made the Empress Dowager Huayang very happy!

"Why are you so happy?" Li Jiyang was puzzled.

The Empress Dowager Huayang who came to see him said happily, "Because the phoenix is ​​originally a bird of Chu."

Li Jiyang: "...!"

How could he have forgotten that the phoenix is ​​the national bird of Chu State.

The totem symbol of Chu State, of course, now it belongs to Qin State.

And he and Yingzheng chose the phoenix as the symbol of Qin's harem. Yingzheng made a decree that for future generations, the male queen will use the phoenix pattern, and the female queen will use the phoenix pattern.

Anyway, they are all phoenixes, the national bird of Chu State.

Even if the state of Chu no longer exists, the national bird can continue, and the Empress Dowager Huayang will also thrive.

The Empress Dowager Xia Ji wanted to embroider a phoenix pattern on Li Jiyang, but who would dare to let her do it?

In the end, I simply asked the old lady to see the custom-made phoenix crown for the queen. Originally, the male queen’s was called the phoenix crown, and the female queen’s should be called the phoenix crown, but in order not to be compared with the emperor’s crown, Li Jiyang suggested that the female queen’s crown should also be called the phoenix crown in the future!

Others said that Li Jiyang had a clever mind, but only Li Jiyang knew that he was afraid that he would not get used to it if he changed too much.

There is also the phoenix seal, and Ying Zhengchao gestured at his own jade seal: "Why don't you cut it in half? Carve a phoenix seal for Xiaoyang?"

"Don't!" Li Jiyang seldom saw the jade seal, because it was kept by a special person, and he just took it and stamped it when he used it.

This is the first time that after the completion of Li Si's carving, after the National Day, I saw the Heshibi jade seal carved by Heshibi up close.

It is similar to the one in his impression, except that it is more shiny than the one in his impression, and there is no missing piece.

"It's so good, what are you cutting it for?" Li Jiyang stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the Chuan Guo Yuxi, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that if he touched it himself, he would put it back on.

Having lived here for more than 20 years, he is used to it.

"Touch it if you want!" Ying Zheng took Li Jiyang's hand and pressed it on the Chuanguo Yuxi: "I didn't let you see it before. If you like it, I will stay here with you. You will be the seal officer."

"I'll be the one!" Li Jiyang touched the Chuanguo Yuxi in his hand: "It's fine, I don't have any job right now."

At first, he didn't want to see people, but now it's been more than half a month, and the weather is getting colder, so he also wants to understand.

There will be same-sex marriages abroad in later generations, what is he afraid of?

Qin State is the first in the world, it was the first to establish the legal status of same-sex marriage!

This first example is myself and Qin Shihuang!

It is estimated that the second case is the king of Wei and the king of Longyang County.

"Who said that the palace will be your home in the future!" Ying Zheng hugged his waist: "After you get married, you will be the other master of this palace, and you can do whatever you want!"

Li Jiyang smiled: "Then I don't want to be a palm-printing officer. If I become a palm-printing officer, I have to go to court every day and serve as a humanoid stamping machine for you, so I won't do it!"

"Okay, you can be the one you want to be, and you can't be the one if you don't want to be." Ying Zheng has no principles for Li Jiyang at all.

The position of palm print officer has been passed twice in his mouth, he will give it when he says it is given, and take it back when he says he will take it back. It is different for people who become emperors!

The wedding has been scheduled to be held after next year's autumn harvest. Many people in the Qin country don't know about it at this time, but as time goes by, they know what they should know and what they shouldn't know.

Although it is said that the Qin State is new to them, some of them can't bear to have a male queen!

Before the "public grievances boiled over", when these people were idle discussing, someone said: "If you don't marry a male queen, what will the emperor's younger brother do?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Everyone nodded frequently: "That's right!"

This all involves the issue of Guozuo inheritance.

Although the little bastards are idle and chatting, they absolutely dare not talk about the royal affairs. The inheritance of Guozuo was already messed up in the vassal state.

Now two years of peaceful life have finally passed. The border wall is so high and thick that foreigners can't get in. It has been a long time since there has been a war.

"Besides, what's wrong with Qin Anjun?" The man continued: "The things we eat, wear, and use, didn't they lead someone to research them? Even the pedal washing machine was helped by him. People from the Mohist Academy researched it? Without him, the mother-in-law at home still has to wash clothes, and her hands are swollen from the cold in the winter!"

Everyone thinks again, isn't it!

And the foreigners are not having a good time. They used to exchange salt, cloth and grain with the Central Plains people, as well as some tea that appeared later, as well as white sugar and brown sugar.

Now that the Great Wall and checkpoints have been built at the border, they can't get in, and there is no way to trade with others. After more than a year, they have reached the extreme. They have to negotiate with Qin to see if they can continue the trade?

Among other things, they are in urgent need of tea, salt and sugar, as well as cloth, and even more food!

Of course, they eat meat more often, but they also think that rice, flour, and millet are good after eating grains!

Especially when they are used to drinking tea, eating crystal salt, and knowing the taste of sugar, they suddenly have nothing. Once they go back to the past tense, they can't stand it!

"Trade?" Ying Zheng said with a straight face, "Should we raise their children and let them continue to organize an army to fight over?"

As far as foreigners like the Xiongnu and Donghu are concerned, the Central Plains people have no advantage. They mount their horses as soldiers, and dismount them as civilians.

Why did Ying Zheng let Li Jiyang build the Great Wall?The purpose is to defend against them!

Li Jiyang is also ruthless enough, the city wall is already high, so he will make it even higher!

He thickened the already thick walls, so what if they could run horses side by side?He can run a horse-drawn carriage side by side!

He is not built like this in one place, he is built like this in all places!

No one can raise the desire to break the city wall!

Because it's too thick, I can't beat it!

The foreigners had no choice but to surrender, to be soft, and to speak good words.

"If you don't agree to trade with them, what should they do if they are in a hurry?" Gan Jing had his own idea: "The Huns also know that our Qin people are powerful, and now they dare not provoke them. It's not too much, I really don't have any contact with them, if I really hold back and attack desperately, it's not a problem!"

There are so many foreigners, and now there are fifteen or sixteen people who just know about it. There are more foreigners who cross the territory of these people, can they stop them?

"But they can't just say what they say!" Ying Zheng said, "If you want to fight, I, Daqin, am not afraid of anyone!"

Wei Liao suggested: "It's better to train soldiers with them!"

"Training?" The word made everyone stunned.

As we all know, Wei Liao is only interested in military affairs, and he is now the head teacher of the Military Academy.

"We now have 100 million Chen soldiers at the border gate, because our border is very long!" Wei Liao made a gesture, and everyone nodded, expressing their understanding: "Now we have pacified the world and there is no more war!"

The words sound nice, and everyone nodded with honor, expressing their understanding.

"But our army can't just let them stop like this. Soldiers, we still have to practice!" Wei Liao announced with a dignified look: "In the future, when we trade with foreigners, let the soldiers protect them and open a border exchange. Whoever dares to be picky at first glance will beat him back to grandma's house!"

"This is not good." Li Jiyang objected: "You have to have a good reason, such as the establishment of an international agreement, several foreigners have to sign, whoever dares to destroy the border trade, everyone will discuss it! The trade items are stipulated, tea, salt and Sugar is given priority, cloth is supplied in a small amount, and metals such as iron and bronze are not allowed to be traded! Weapons are even more forbidden! Once anyone is found to be trading these things in private, they will all be punished as treason!"

Tea, salt, and sugar are all expensive things. Although the Qin State popularized them, it was because Li Jiyang had space in his hands.

According to folk craftsmanship, it is quite a rare good thing!

And these three things cannot provide any combat power to the enemy!

Cloth can also be used to make clothes, and these three things can only be eaten in the stomach... There is still a lot of Yunnan Puer tea in his space.

That's good, one piece can be soaked fifteen or six times!

"That's right!" Ying Zheng nodded as expected: "These things have to be sold at a high price!"

"That's not as good as one tael of tea and one sheep?" Zhang Ping calculated the highest price in an instant. The later generation's one tael is [-] grams, but the current one tael is only [-] grams, which is too much difference!

"There's also Immortal Wine!" Old Man Meng Ao, who had been in the north, rarely proposed this kind of livelihood issue: "The northern region is bitterly cold, and they will definitely love the Immortal Wine!"

"How much can it sell?" Li Jiyang asked him.

He has plenty of spirits, and it would be even better if he could drink them all into alcoholic livers with spirits!

There is no need for Qin Jun to take action!

"One liter can be exchanged for a cow! Or a horse!" Mr. Meng Ao offered a higher price!In this day and age, one liter is only [-] milliliters, and it looks like half a bottle of mineral water at most. He dares to ask for a cow or a horse! ?

This is not profiteering, this is black profiteering!

"Can you really change that much?" Not to mention Li Jiyang, even Ying Zheng was surprised.

"Of course, once in the past, there was a caravan going to the border to do business, and the leader of the caravan exchanged a bag of rice wine for ten cows!" Old Man Meng Ao said, "Not to mention our Daqin Immortal Wine!"

"Then what, old man, that's called baijiu!" Li Jiyang hurriedly corrected him: "There are low-alcohol baijiu and high-strength baijiu, and the higher ones are alcohol. I don't have that, I only have low-alcohol baijiu and high-strength baijiu."

What is it called "immortal wine"?

Li Jiyang felt empty when he heard it!

As for those liquors in later generations, no manufacturer dared to call them by this name. If they went out and said it, they would have to be sprayed back!

"Baijiu is too ugly!" Everyone felt that the name was not suitable for it.

Li Jiyang thought for a while: "Why don't we call it 'grain essence'? There is a saying in our teacher's school that wine is grain essence, the more you drink, the younger you will be!"

"This name is even worse!" Gan Jing was the first to object, what a crappy name!

"But it can be used to fool foreigners!" Yao Jia has a particularly business sense: "Just tell them that this is food essence, the more you drink it, the younger you will be, and they will die if you drink it!"

"This is a good thing, how much wine do you want to force them to death?" Old General Meng Ao shook his head in disapproval: "It's not appropriate, it's a waste!"

"Actually, this stuff can be drunk often, but it's not suitable to drink too much. If you drink too much, you will easily get drunk!" Li Jiyang told them that they didn't understand "alcoholic liver disease", so they could only pick on others who could understand and said: "Stop Drink, blood circulation, drink more, hurt the body."

"Those foreigners are especially good at drinking!" As the old general Meng Ao who had resisted the Huns all his life, he had the most right to speak.

He has dealt with the Xiongnu all his life, and he also fought with the Yueshi. As for Donghu, he has to ask Li Mu.

"There is also border defense!" Wei Liao said again: "I think what Qin Anjun said is very good."

Everyone looked at Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang himself was also baffled.

He said too much, who knows what Wei Liao said?

"Qin Anjun once said that a general with an iron camp and flowing water." Wei Liao said with a look of recollection: "I think so!"

As soon as Wei Liao uttered these words, all the generals looked at Li Jiyang!

Li Jiyang: "...!"

Li Jiyang shrank back, why are you looking at me?
