Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang pitted the future Queen of Chu, and had a long chat with the Xiang clan. Most of these clansmen had seen the world, and there were many people who came to inquire about his details, but he traveled all the way through Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Chu. None of these people can speak highly of him, and in the end almost all of them admire his extensive knowledge and extensive knowledge.

The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Yanyuan, is now on the battlefield, and the remaining sons are still underage, so the family affairs are temporarily taken care of by Xiang Rong's wife.

Nowadays, Confucianism is not popular, and female housekeepers are also common, but Yan Jiang is an outsider after all, and he only stayed for two or three days before leaving.

Xiang Bo and Xiang Liang are only in their teens now, and they also like him as the "elder brother and staff member", because following him can not only eat delicious lo-mei, but also hear about the general trend of the world. Powerless.

So when Yan Jiang left, the two teenagers were reluctant to leave, and they promised to take good care of their family members, especially the young nephew who was just born. They would definitely temper his temper and not let him be too impulsive, but you must Remember to come back and see us.

Li Xin looked at these young people who had been deceived and wandered around, and seemed to see his former self in a trance.

But the current him is not necessarily better than them.

Li Xin thought a little aggrieved, followed Yan Zi to board the boat again, and took a tour of Wuyue Kuaiji.

Today's Taihu Lake is called Lize, and its area is larger than the entire Shanghai of later generations. It occupies almost half of the southern part of Jiangsu and directly leads to the Yangtze River and the sea. Therefore, the shipbuilding industry in Kuaiji is super developed.

The mountains here are low and the forests are dense, there are countless good woods for shipbuilding, and tung oil is produced, so there are docks in almost every town, and everyone can sail.

Among them, the building boats supplied to the royal family of Chu were exported to the six countries and became a major commodity in Chu.

Yan Jiang went to pay a lot of money to go to a large shipyard to see the details of making the ship.

This dock is under the rule of the "Boat Officer" who manages the ships of the Chu State. Knowing that he is a friend of the Xiang family, it is convenient for him.

The other party didn’t keep too many secrets. To make this big ship, you need excellent carpenters, boatmen who understand water, and a chief engineer who takes care of the overall situation. Without rivets, the splicing and bonding of the entire ship, iron hoops The use of it needs to be handed down from the heart of the old boatman. It is impossible for ordinary people to understand it after watching it for a year. At most, they can only read it fresh.

When Yan Jiang asked if these boats could go to sea, the other party looked proud and laughed out loud.

They, Wu, Chu, Yang, and Yue, began building ships in the Xia Dynasty, Shaokang Emperor, and more than 200 years ago, the customs of various countries in Vietnam have been customary in water warfare.There was a saying that "the people of Wu used boats as their horses and the huge sea as a flat road." The boatman talked eloquently. The river flowed out of the East China Sea and then went south, far away to the state of Qi, and captured the city of Langya.

This really surprised Yan Jiang. Langya of Qi State is in the south of the Shandong Peninsula, just crossing the Yellow Sea. The 5000 boat division is also very large. soldiers, and supplies for more than three months.A navy of [-] people, this is the Warring States Period!

It has the strength to develop shipping!

But the current problem-except for Qi, there are basically no seaside cities, Yan Jiang thought with some regret, now the seaside is barren, and there are not many houses in this era that can withstand typhoons, so cement production is very important. .

After walking around Kuaiji, Yan Jiang asked Li Xin if he was interested in playing water battles?

Then he was ruthlessly rejected by Li Xin.

Li's paternal son who grew up in Longxi likes horses, and only fears water battles. He has even developed a dislike for Chu.

Yan Jiang just smiled slightly at this, and then under Li Xin's resisting gaze, he traveled all the way from Kuaiji to Minyue—from April to Shouchun, spending three months at Xiang Rong's place, and then spent more than a month to Kuaiji, It’s already August now, if you’re all here, how can you not watch the Qiantang River Dynasty?

Taihu Lake is very close to the Qiantang River, and not far from Hangzhou is still a fishing village. Although Xishi is known as the hometown of Xishi, after all, Xishi used beauty tricks to make troubles.

When he got to the Qiantang River, Yan Jiang thought about it and chose Fenghuang Mountain to watch the tide. Although the seawall was greatly repaired during the Wuyue Kingdom, when he went to see the seawall embankment with a height of only two or three meters, he deeply felt that it was not safe to watch the tide on the embankment. .

Even if he could swim, he didn't bring any flowers, and he was still far behind the Qianjiang wavers of later generations.

So for a few days in mid-August, Yan Jiang simply stayed in an Orion City on the mountain.

Change places to watch the tide every day.

There is no crowd of people watching the tide, it is so cool to fly.

But seeing the tide rushing forward, pushing and embracing layer by layer, the sound is like thunder, spraying pearls and jade, and the momentum is like a galloping horse. Even if you have seen stormy waves, you have to marvel at the mighty power of heaven and earth.

Li Xin watched it once and was fascinated. He asked Ajiang every night if he could still watch it tomorrow.

His Majesty listened to these words, so the next day, the sleeping bird got up at the appointed time, spread its wings and flew to the surface of the river to watch the ebb and flow of the tide.The sea it saw last time was the Caspian Sea, but the sea there is not as majestic as the real sea.

Yan Jiang had to yell to remind it not to fly far away, if you can't fly back then you can only swim back!

His Majesty kissed him very displeasedly, and returned angrily after flying for less than half an hour.

When he came back, his wings were trembling, and he fluttered in his arms very aggrieved, as if there was nothing to love.

Yan Jiang looked at it with a smile: "I told you to fly more, hunt more and lose weight. I don't believe it. No owl bird in this world can fly like you for half an hour. It still has to chase you."

His Majesty felt a little uneasy, hummed a few times, went to sleep, and went back to deal with political affairs.

In the next few days, they saw the tide receding, so they went south along Hangzhou and entered Minyue Kingdom.

Zhejiang in August is extremely hot and humid, who knows who will go, Minyue is an undeveloped Jiangnan land, sparsely populated, full of deep mountains and Yue people, after Chu State destroyed Yue, the descendants of Goujian from Yue State scattered into Minqiu, One of the mountain people "married" here with wealth and culture, and established himself as the Minyue Kingdom.

Minqiu, a huge hill from Zhejiang to Fujian, leaves very little arable land in the two places, and most of the tribes make a living by gathering, fishing and hunting. The king of Minyue is said to be a king, but in fact he is not much different from a chief.

Yan Jiang is very curious about the culture and totems here, and he wants to visit Zou Mu, King of Yue here.

But even though Zou Mu is a chieftain, he still imitates the etiquette system of the Central Plains, and it is not so easy to see. Fortunately, they got a news that King Yue was seriously ill.

So Yan Jiang neither had the status of Chu, nor used the status of Qin. Instead, he hung up the status of a witch doctor and first mixed up with the grassroots people in Minyue.

He knows a little bit of herbal medicine for healing wounds, reducing inflammation and stopping bleeding. Just this, in this mountainous place, he is already a very good famous doctor.

They took Li Xin all the way across the mountains and ridges, and when Li Xiaojiang gradually cultivated a proficient field survival skills, they were summoned to meet Minyue King Zou Mu.

At this time, the capital of Fujian and Yue was just a small mountain city, not far from Hangzhou, and Yan Jiang felt that they should still be thinking about taking back their homeland.

But the possibility is too small. The ability of farming civilization to feed the population far exceeds this civilization of hunting and gathering.

The Chinese ancestors also relied on the power of farming to drive out and kill the Yirong clan one by one, and only then did they ignite the flame of Eastern civilization.

The silk worn by King Zouyue in the mountain city is very old, and the furnishings of his home are like that of an ordinary rich man in the Central Plains. This middle-aged man has a lifeless brow and a belly as big as a drum. It is obvious that he is in the late stage of schistosomiasis, not only that , He also had chills and fever, and a rash on his lips, which was an obvious symptom of malaria.

Yan Jiang shook his head slightly at the young man who invited him. It was too late, so he went to collect stinky Artemisia sativa by the river pond, twisted it into stinky water, so that the old Yue King could go away more easily.

The boy's face was pale, and he just hugged his father and wept. Fortunately, this era does not have high requirements for doctors, and there was no medical trouble because he couldn't cure him.

No matter how powerful a witch doctor is, this miasma disease cannot be cured. Only the Qin land rumored that there is a magic medicine to cure it, but the envoy he sent has not returned yet. How can their small country give the strong What about the property that Qin bestowed medicine on?

Yan Jiang stayed for a few days and saw that the old king of Yue regretted that the current war between Qin and Chu was a god-sent opportunity, but he was unable to regain his homeland due to illness, ashamed of his predecessor, and left sadly.

Then I saw the funeral of King Yue, and the enthronement of the young King Wuzhu.

He collected the etiquette system of the Yue Kingdom, and supplemented the major deeds of the Yue Kingdom in recent years, and then he took Li Xin back to the journey with satisfaction.

Although he still wants to go to Lingnan along Minqiu and see the land of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is better to go to the Hengduan Mountains and Yunnan for a walk, and then go north to Shudi, which is a beautiful way, but—but he has to worry about his boyfriend What a mood!

Seeing that he was going further and further away, His Majesty was already going crazy with anger, and he was ruthless and ungrateful every day, abandoning his husband and son.

"Abandoning my husband, I admit, what's the matter with abandoning a son?" Yan Jiang didn't take it seriously.

He thought His Majesty would say Fusu, but the son His Majesty mentioned turned out to be Huahua.

His Majesty said that Huahua has been haggard recently, was bullied by the black tiger, missed her master, didn't eat much meat, and lost almost a hundred catties, so you're not guilty of being happy outside alone?

Yan Jiang felt distressed instantly, his Huahua hadn't been away from him for so long, so he agreed to go back now.

His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief.

So Yan Zi drew a map of the mountains and rivers along the Minyue Road, and returned to Kuaiji in only ten days. The boat back to Chu.

When the boat arrived in Wujiang, Yan Jiang was fishing at the bow of the boat, and when he caught a big fish, the big fish was bitten by a more beautiful beast.

Yan Jiang couldn't help exclaiming: "Baiji dolphin?"

The little monster on the water surface uttered softly twice, as if saying hello, it was about to enter the water.

Yan Jiang, who has been a wildlife photographer for ten years, couldn't bear it when he encountered this kind of wild treasure whose future generations are only in legends, and immediately threw the fish caught in the bucket into the water one by one.

It was the first time that the beautiful freshwater whale received this kind of preferential treatment, and he couldn't hold back, so he was hooked by Yan Jiang behind the boat, and let him stare left and right, observing and recording.

So when His Majesty got up at night, not only did he not eat the fish floss he should have, but he also saw portraits of strange fish all over the room, and A Jiang who was addicted to painting fish.

It's only been one day, where did the monster come from?

Startled, it landed on A Jiang's arm, trying to stop him from continuing to draw.

But Ah Jiang's arm is extremely stable, and the line of the carbon pen does not fluctuate when it falls. You send Huahua to Wang Jian's camp, and I will take care of it there, so I won't go back to Xianyang, how about it?"

Maotouying... Maotouying was so shocked that he almost melted away!

Xianyang Palace

It was another day when the waiters acted lightly and did not dare to show their breath.

The reputation of the king of Qin being moody has been resounding in the country of Qin for a long time, and they don't understand why the king suddenly loses his mood. Although they won't be angry because of it, it has already made them tremble with fear, and they feel that there are fewer people live a few years.

In this world, only Yan Ciqing has the courage to not be afraid of King Qin's thunder and rain, and to talk and laugh freely in front of him.

The most direct expression of the gloomy king of Qin is that if the ministers are wrong in the memorial, the king of Qin will punish him and punish him without mercy.

This gloomy mood lasted until one day, King Qin summoned Wei Liao and Li Si and asked them to prepare for the Luanjia.

He calmly told his important ministers that he was going on a cruise to Yingdu and Chen County of Chu State, and he should prepare immediately.

For a moment, all the officials knelt on the ground, and Li Si risked his life to remonstrate, saying that it was not long before he was assassinated on a parade, that the king should still focus on the overall situation...

"The widow is the overall situation." King Qin got up calmly, "It's better for you to get used to this parade earlier."
