Emperor Qin

Chapter 12 Playing with Fire

Regarding things like this, Yan Jiang can say that he can do it at will, and he can do whatever he wants. In his opinion, it is really easy for a modern person who has experienced the baptism of civilization after 2000 years to cheat one or two ancient kings up.

The easiest way to get the king to be baited is to seek immortality. This method has been tried and tested since ancient times. From Qin Huang to Han Wu, from Tang Zong to Song Zu, there is no one who does not fall into the trap. Wearing the vest of the Queen Mother of the West, Xu Fu can use the name of the longevity tree to deceive five ships with hundreds of tons of food and 6000 people on the eastward journey. Isn't it easy for him to use the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West to cheat a little money and iron food?

Of course, there must be a proof to deceive people, after all, he can't go directly to King Qin now—wait a minute, it seems a bit wrong.

Yan Jiang hugged His Majesty who fell unconscious, thinking seriously as he walked home.

Based on the news he learned from Li Xin and the county guard a few days ago, it is not yet the time for Qin Wangzheng to call the shots.

It is now the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng. From his 14-year-old succession to the present, the military power is in the hands of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and Xiangguo Lu Buwei. He must be 22 years old, that is, he will be crowned in Yongdu in April next year before he can regain his position. , reasonable pro-government.

But now the upper echelon of the Qin State is still in chaos. Qin Wangzheng only controls some troops in the Xianyang Palace. , there is another troublesome figure——Lao Ai.

It may be like what Mencius said: Heaven will send great missions to people, and they must first suffer their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. cannot.

The life course of Qin Wangzheng is almost based on this premise of the great appointment. When he was born, his father was a hostage in Zhao State. The big businessman Lu Buwei made a famous investment in this down-and-out prince. During the war, with his best help, Yiren escaped from Zhaodu and became the King of Qin, while Lu Buwei became the Prime Minister of Qin. , Lost is ten years.

At that time, Qin general Bai Qi killed 40 sons of the state of Zhao. "This one has a clean experience. He was not taken back to Qin until Yiren ascended the throne. After the death of his father Yiren, Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, but things were far from over. At the age of 14, he still had three big mountains. His younger brother Chang'an Jun , Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai.

A few days ago, the most powerful Lord Chang'an rebelled against him, and the second most powerful man, Lai Ai, couldn't hold back anymore. As a man of great skill, Lai Ai can be said to be the pinnacle of legend in the world of male pets. His mother, Queen Mother Zhao, was very satisfied. She not only gave birth to two sons for him, but also occupied one-fifth of Qin's fertile land as a feudal state. Lose Yingzheng and become the king himself - and this has been supported by Queen Mother Zhao.

The goal, then, is obvious.

Rather than going to kill the fledgling Qin Wangzheng, Lao Ai is obviously a better target. He is now making preparations in Yongdu, the old capital of the Qin State, which is very close to Longxi. It just happened to give some food to the criminals who are coming to Longxi. Anyway, when King Qin is crowned next year, he will be cleaned up. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

When he cleared his mind, Yan Jiang had already returned to Duili. This new village was brightly lit, and the unstoppable blast furnace devoured charcoal fire and iron ore like a monster. The castings are put into the fire kiln, and there are villagers stepping on the treadmill beside them, struggling to pound the rice.

He exchanged a piece of salt for a sack of unthreshed wheat with fresh ears of wheat on it.

After counting, there were only nine or ten grains of wheat on one ear.

In other words, farmers at this time can only reap ten seeds for one seed.

After putting the unconscious Majesty on the couch and covering it, he took out the folding shovel from the backpack, took out a knife from a section of the shovel, and picked the ears of wheat to pick out the small dry grains, and then picked out the plump grains. , use glue to stick the wheat grains one by one, and soon, a plump ear of wheat will appear at the fingertips.

That's not all, he dug out the medicine bag and found an empty bottle with a few drops of residual liquid - no, the essential oil evaporates very quickly, so it's better to wipe it when you use it.

Phase one completed.

Then there is another aid, just right, I brought a little asbestos cloth with me when passing through the Middle East, put it on the palm of my hand to insulate it, dipped it in alcohol with a cotton ball, and scraped some magnesium powder from the lighter, it should be enough.

Then, it's time to start the show.

Go to bed first.

He lay on the couch, hugged his love bird tightly, and fell asleep.

With the arrival of the Chen clan, the number of criminals in the village began to increase. Most of them were sent to the frontier to open up wasteland, but they will soon return to the vicinity and sell themselves as servants and concubines. Yan Jiang wants The county guard flatly refused to admit these criminals to live in Duili.

"The Chen family had a little knowledge of literature and ink before, so I left it to you, but you also know how important the matter of ironware is, how can you let these criminals of unknown origin pry into it." Li Junshou said coldly.

What's more, Lao Ai has noticed the iron artifacts in Duili, and now he is trying his best to send spies to Longxi. At this critical moment, he must not make extra troubles.

"Then can we distribute some food to them to spend the winter in order to open up wasteland?" Yan Jiang retreated to the next best thing.

"You are upright, why don't you care about these things, and concentrate on smelting iron, and you can get your own merits!" Li Junshou said displeased.

"Is there no other way to think about it?" Yan Jiang felt very regretful, "Winter is coming, I heard that there are still military rations in the county..."

"Presumptuous, that's something you can get your hands on." The sheriff was really angry.

"Don't be angry, the county guard. Jiang has something that can be exchanged for food and grass. I will never let you take responsibility." Yan Jiang half-kneeled on the ground, and under the suspicious eyes of the county guard, he took out a piece of silk religiously and slowly spread it out.

"Hiss!" The sheriff gasped, and picked up the ear of wheat in some surprise, his hands trembling almost uncontrollably.

He has been in power in Longxi for many years, and has been in farming for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen such plump and heavy ears of wheat. When he counted them carefully, there are more than 40 grains of wheat. God is sorry. If Longxi can get this grain, how can it be There is no need to worry about famine and no food, and even with this fetish, the number of Daqin soldiers can be doubled - he didn't even hesitate, carefully squeezed a grain of wheat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully with his few missing teeth.

In an instant, a strange feeling of coolness rushed straight to the sky in an instant, which lifted people's spirits.

"When I passed through Kunlun, I saw the change of the western time. When I entered the country of the Queen Mother of the West, I got this spiritual thing. One grain was put into the ground, and the yield per mu was ten thousand catties. Now I offer it to the county guard. I hope it can be exchanged for ten thousand stones and save the people." He looked serious. Clear and upright, with a clear voice, "Is the sheriff willing?"

"This, how is this possible..." The sheriff was stunned for a moment, "You, have you ever seen a god?"

"Of course, you have to have the skill bestowed by the gods, otherwise how can you cross tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers." Yan Jiang smiled slightly, turned his left hand, and saw a ball of white flames burst out of his palm and jumped.

The governor of Longxi can't hide this kind of thing, as long as he dedicates it to King Qin, the news that he has been to the "fairyland" will naturally spread, and those who are interested in longevity will definitely come to him.

Lai Ai will meet, King Qin will meet, and Lu Buwei will definitely do it too.

At that time, several parties will send people to look for him, and he will be able to enter the next step by choosing the team of the target person, Lai Ai.

Ah, it's exciting to play again, this is life, it's much more exciting than the wild.

Three days later, Xianyang Palace received an urgent message from Longxi about [-] Li.

Looking at this ear of wheat and smelling the familiar smell of insect repellent oil on it, King Qin looked indifferent, but the brows that were frowned a few days ago were slightly relaxed.

I have been to Kunlun to see the Queen Mother of the West, how could I not know?

I lit the fire with bare hands, how much fire powder was scraped?

But these have nothing to do with it...

"Chuan Guzhi," the young king tried his best not to reveal his joy in his voice, and said solemnly, "Give ten thousand dollars, so that Li Chong will send this person to Xianyang immediately, there must be no mistake."
