Emperor Qin

The characters are bestowed by the elders when they are adults, so when Xiang Rong said that Xiang Yan even chose the characters for the eldest grandson, Yan Jiang was a little puzzled.

Xiang Rong smiled slightly and said: "Father said that this battle is unpredictable, so it's better to get up early and prepare."

Hearing this, Yan Jiang looked solemn, reassuring Xiang Rong that he would definitely bring the words to him.

Xiang Rong is very relieved of Yan Jiang these days, and the two exchanged a few words and said goodbye.

Then Yan Jiang informed Li Xin to prepare to leave.

Knowing this, Li Youcheng was struck by lightning, and his whole body was in a daze—if he left Shouchun, how could he return to Qin in time during the war?If he couldn't make meritorious service in the battle of destroying Chu, why would he waste his time here and work hard for Chu?

So he was about to slip away.

It's a pity that his little knowledge is really shallow in front of Yan Jiang.

So when Xiang Rong sent Yan Jiang out of the city the next day, he was shocked to find that brother Li Youcheng's leg was really broken.

Asked the reason, Li Xin looked haggard, or because the Tianyin Road slipped and fell in the rain, Xiang Rong intended to hire a famous doctor for him, but Yan Jiang said that he is a famous doctor, the boy just got a dislocation, and he will recover soon Get up, don't worry.

Xiang Rong could only worry about sending the two on board, while regretting that he seemed to be in conflict with Li Youcheng's brother, and it couldn't be good.

The route Yan Jiang chose was to go down the Huaihe River to Huaiyin in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, then follow Hangou into the Yangtze River, and then enter Kuaiji at Taihu Lake from Guangling at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

It was already summer and the weather was already hot. Li Xin put on an unlovable face all day long, while Yan Jiang told him that Qin Chu would not be able to fight for a while, and at the same time made some snacks to mobilize the enthusiasm of this friend.

At this time, the Huaihe River was still in the subtropical climate, and there was still a long time before the cooling of the Little Ice Age, so Yan Jiang found many crops that would only be found in the south of the Five Ridges along the way.

For example, subtropical crops such as vanilla, kaempferen, and cardamom, as well as star anise and cinnamon. In addition, it was the season when oranges were ripe. He collected spices along the way, made a pot of brine, and began to cook game.

Ordinary dried orange peels are not as good as the special dried orange peels produced in Guangdong in later generations, but what era is this? She is more serious about protecting her than Yan Jiang, for fear of getting bumped.

His Majesty is also very dissatisfied. It pretends to be the bird that Yan Jiang kindly rescued, and can finally sleep beside A Jiang, but it is not the first to eat the good things that A Jiang made!

It's very unbalanced!

Just very angry.

After the agreement, we walked across the big river together, and now most of the big river is in Chu, but the state of Chu is always unwilling to destroy it, and there is still a small half of the big river in Qi, which prevents him from swimming around the world with A Jiang.

Yan Jiang felt His Majesty's displeasure, but he could only go fishing on the river every day to make compensation for it. After all, he can't help with this matter, can he?

He collected all kinds of edible and available spice seeds along the way, and collected a lot of wild teas. He evaluated the wild teas in each place, wrote down the origin and taste, and made a tea record. He planned to expand the planting scale in these places later. .

Stopping and stopping along the way, he almost visited the most affluent Huaihe River Basin in Chu State. After half a month, he arrived in Huaiyin.

Huaiyin is a small city. It can be built because it is the entrance of the Huaihe River in Hangou. Hangou is rarely known in later generations, but in this era, it is praised by the world together with Dujiangyan, Zhengguoqu and Honggou.

Among them, Hangou is the most famous, because it is the first canal in Chinese history, which fully exerts the power of human beings to transform the world. How can this kind of prodigal son lose so easily.

So when the boat was parked at the pier at the entrance of Hangou, Yan Jiang couldn't help sighing: "Jiangshan beauties, if the emperor wants Jiangshan, he will lose the beauties, if he wants beauties, then Jiangshan beauties will be gone."

Maotouying didn't take it seriously. He felt that if an emperor was mixed up to the level of Wu Wang Fucha, he would be as good as Xi Shi. If Jiangshan beauty could only choose one, it must be that the emperor did too badly. No wonder Jiangshan, let alone beauties .

Yan Jiang was amused by its theory, but it also made sense: "But King Goujian of Yue is not a good man, and it's too early to hide all birds."

His Majesty is very contemptuous of this, and it won't be completely hidden, because he is confident that he can suppress all living beings in the world.

That proud and domineering appearance can make people cry, Yan Jiang sucked it for a long time before letting go.

His Majesty expressed his dissatisfaction that he was alone in Xianyang. If you have the heart, you should return home as soon as you have had enough fun. A bird cannot give you any truth in the world.

The two (?) strolled on the pier in Huaiyin at night, the starry sky was bright, the streets were silent, and they talked about the past and the present, leaving Li Xin in the boat at a loss.

Brother Jiang, can the birds understand?

The boat replenished fresh water in Huaiyin, and Yan Jiang searched for a family surnamed Han here, and he really found the target person.

In an alley in Huaiyin, a family surnamed Han is pregnant with a child, and the pregnant wife is busy having an evening meal. It is very easy to find people with a surname these days, because most common people have names but no surnames, and their ancestors were Koreans who lost power. The clan, who moved to Wu to survive, is the only Han family here.

The man from the Han family has been conscripted into the Chu army, and his wife lives alone at home, making a living by raising silkworms and weaving cloth.

Yan Jiang didn't bother her, just left calmly.

The city of Huaiyin will become famous all over the world because of the birth of Han Xin, but this is not a future that he can interfere with.

Step onto the bow of the boat, and the boat sails upstream towards the Yangtze River port.

Yan Jiang walked around and found that the climate here is hotter than later generations, and many dry lands without water are more suitable for planting cotton, a water-intensive plant, but be careful that cotton is afraid of waterlogging.

It is absolutely possible to create a new industrial kingdom. The Songjiang cloth of later generations has the reputation of "clothes and quilts all over the world". If it is planted here, it will be very good.

Yan Jiang still collected seeds and spices along the way, and recorded the customs along the coast. A book made of good paper was filled with drawings by him, and he had to buy paper again at a high price in Guangling City halfway.

Xiang Rong gave him a version of Chu gold coins that he used up on the road, so he used it to pay the bill with pepper.

Fortunately, this Chu merchant who sells paper is very knowledgeable. After verifying the authenticity of the pepper, he instantly admired him and finalized the deal.

No way, Yan Jiang knew the habit of pepper, so he asked Ah Zheng to promote and plant it in the southern county of Qin State, but after all, the water and soil were not acclimatized, and it took more than three years to plant it to bloom and bear fruit. The yield was very low, and basically it was directly supplied to Qin State The royal family, and distributed to the ministers as rewards.

Nowadays, most of the peppers in various countries are purchased from the mountain people in Yuedi - the mountain people in Guilin have found a new source of supply from the Luoyue people in Yunnan, and the price is not inferior to gold. The amount of pepper has become a new way for the rich and powerful of various countries to compete for wealth and power.

Even Xiang Yan wanted to name her daughter "Jiao" directly.

So Yan Jiang pays the bill with pepper, and a businessman who knows the goods will never beat him.

"It would be nice for me to bring more pepper when traveling." Yan Jiang sighed while writing and drawing on the newly bought paper. The businessman not only bought dozens of his peppercorns, but also paid attention to his pepper Powder is very coveted.

When Yan Jiang sold it halfway to him, the other party closed the door and windows, covering his mouth and nose with a cloth, for fear of blowing a little dust away.

He also thought inexplicably that with the status of pepper, if he knew that Yuedi India was the main pepper producing area, no matter who was the king of this land in the future, he would not let it go!

But that’s right, later generations fought more than one war in order to compete for the Spice Islands in Indonesia, and even directly forced Europe out of the Age of Discovery in order to break the monopoly of the Arab world.

"If that's the case..." Yan Jiang looked at the vast river surface at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

If it can really arouse people's longing for wealth, a great voyage may not be impossible. Even if the current Wuyue ship can't sail far, as long as there is such a thought, the future will be promising.

Just trying to make it happen.

The status of a businessman must be controlled too much.

Yan Jiang stroked the big bird in his arms, thinking about how to brainwash His Majesty later.

When crossing the Yangtze River, Li Xin's leg was already almost healed. Yan Jiang's attack was serious, but he was only dislocated. In addition, he was young and took good care of him. He was able to run and jump in a month, but after a month he couldn't run away. , Li Xin's temperament has become more stable, which can be regarded as a different kind of tempering.

Kuaiji is the old place of Wu and Yue. Lord Chunshen placed his fief here. After decades of management, it has become a famous big city in the south of the Yangtze River. The surrounding area of ​​Taihu Lake is good at farming, and it is a land of luxuriant mulberry and hemp.

The land of Wuyue was a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in later generations, and the development efforts in modern times are far from enough. Yan Jiang first visited Xiang's family, and met young Xiang Bo and Xiang Liang, as well as Xiang Rong's wife.

When he went, Xiang Rong's wife had already given birth to a son, and it happened to be full moon wine.

The death rate of children in this era is extremely high, and children who are full moon can be considered to have stabilized their first life in the world. As a gift, he gave Qin Guo's water-repelling Gu magic medicine as a gift, which shocked the audience.

This magical medicine has already been fired at a sky-high price, and its influence has spread across the Chu country in the water gu, and it can be called a nuclear weapon level.

Mrs. Xiang is very grateful, and of course he also got the right to hold the child.

Xiang Ji already had the word "Yu" in his newborn, and he will use it when he grows up. Although this young man was born a month ago, he is already famous all over the world.

Because he has double pupils.

It was a pair of pupils with the shape of "8" in the center of the eyeballs. It is easy to distinguish without looking closely, but if you look closely, you will feel a bit like an hourglass. In China, it is a sign of the emperor.

Yu Shun and Chong Er both have double pupils, but...

Yan Jiang recalled that these people with double pupils did not end well. Yao was imprisoned and died, Shun died in the wild. It is a tragedy among the emperors, and it is too horrible to bear to witness.

In the future, the Overlord of Chu grinned in Yan Jiang's arms, revealing his teeth-less mouth. The gift to the guests was not only a large piece of overflowing saliva, but also a bubble of fresh boy's urine, as if demonstrating against the enemy of Qin.

Well, the big difference between the brave and foolish guy in this impression is too big. After all, Yan Jiang can't strangle him. At this time, Xiang Rong's wife has read the letter and has a good impression of Yan Zi, the husband's retainer. , and asked a few words about her husband's recent situation.

Yan Jiang spoke directly about Xiang Rong's plight in detail, and got the other party's favor with a few sentences, and then began to take revenge!

"Although this son is extraordinary, but I see his face as unruly. At the age of 30, there will be a catastrophe. You need to prepare early to survive."

At this time, literati and fortune-tellers were still very influential. When Xiang Rong's wife heard this, she was shocked and asked for a countermeasure: "Please show me how to deal with it!"

"This son is born with supernatural power, and in the future he will be rebellious because of his power. He needs to be nurtured by poetry and books." Yan Jiang smiled slightly, showing his white teeth. Disaster."

This is a trivial matter, and Xiang's wife breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Xie taught me! Teach me what I must do!"
