Emperor Qin

Chapter 164 Afterglow

The next day, when eating morning food in the morning, there were not so many people, and the sound of silk and bamboo was still heard all around. The head of the Taishi family first thanked Yan Jiang for his refugee policy, and then inquired about Yan Jiang's origin carefully.

There were too many people yesterday, so it was difficult for him to ask in detail, but now there are many exiles in Qi State, it is easy to find a few people from the old land of the Five Kingdoms. Since Yan Jiang said that he went to Handan with Sikong Ma and stayed there, how about asking? You can know the true and the false by asking about the places of interest and deeds and comparing them.

Yan Jiang was not afraid of this, and he handled it seamlessly. After a while, he had already convinced several dignitaries of the Zhao state that the other party had found - he even knew the details of Zhao Jia and Guo Kai's mansion, and even at that time Everyone knows the price of goods in the besieged Handan, this must be a local of Zhao State, there is no fake.

As for going to Handan to inquire, that's impossible, not to mention the long distance, in this chaotic world, who knows whether the people sent out will come back?

Furthermore, during the Warring States period, the disciples had three religions and nine streams, so the screening would not have been so detailed.

In this way, the identity has been demonstrated, and other things are easier to talk about. From this, Yan Jiang also knew that during the Warring States Period, Qi State was eating melons all the way in the east and saw Qin destroying the six kingdoms.

Apart from the disturbing people from the refugees from the Five Kingdoms, Qi's biggest problem is the shadow of war brought about by the behemoth of Qin.

It has only been seven years since the King of Qin took charge, and the six kingdoms have been destroyed and the five kingdoms have been destroyed. This attitude of dominating the world is really overwhelming for Qi.

When South Korea was destroyed, no one took it seriously. The small country was only a county, and it was the place of the Fourth World War. During the Zheng State period, it was used as a battlefield between Jin and Chu, but it could only "maintain neutrality". When South Korea destroyed Zheng, He took the place of Zheng, and was beaten by other powerful countries all day long. No matter whether Qin attacked the six countries or the six countries attacked Qin, Han would be affected. Xinzheng, the capital of the country, would be affected by other countries on average every three years. .

When the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed, there was real fire from both sides, but once Li Mu left, it was destroyed so quickly that people couldn't save it, which is very unexpected.But this matter can be understood by everyone in the Qi State. Qin Zhao Shichou has already played out his brains. Besides, it is not the first time that Zhao State has been destroyed. If the orphans of the Zhao family are included, this will be the third time. It is normal. , but be careful, without Zhao Guokang, I don't know who can resist Qin.

Why don't you say Yan Guo, Jing Ke has driven the King of Qin around the column, it is only reasonable for Qin Guo to destroy Yan.

But after the three-month end of Wei Guo, Chu Qi was frightened.When Qin attacked Chu, Qi State was also sweating. It was only when Li Xin was defeated that he breathed a sigh of relief. Those who are willing to borrow, as long as Chu State gives more benefits.

It’s just that Shouchun has already fallen here just after Chu State took advantage. Can't find it.

What's even more frightening is that the State of Qin has asked Wang Ben to lead an army to attack the State of Dai! ! !

Dai Guo Zhao Jia only experienced an earthquake last year, and it is impossible to stop it.

Zhao Jia came to Qi State several times to ask for help, but it had been several months, and Chaoshang didn't even discuss whether to help or not.

So everyone procrastinated until today, muddling along, relying on praying to heaven that the country of Qin would not call, and sending various envoys to show favor to the king of Qin to live.

So, I would like to ask Mr. Jiang Xian, how can our country of Qi resist Qin?Please teach us!

Yan Jiang smiled slightly, pondered for a while, and then pretended to be authentic: "Qin Qiang's momentum has risen, in my opinion, two preparations should be made."

"Sages, please speak!" Tai Shijia, Tian Shi and others listened carefully.

"One is to fight against Qin," Yan Jiang said leisurely, "Qi is rich and strong, so there is no shortage of soldiers, and it may not necessarily be defeated by Qin."

This is nonsense, don't they know their own fighting power?So there is a lot of AC, Tian Shi's father frowned and said: "What else can I do?"

"Both, if the matter fails," Yan Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said leisurely, "then we can prepare the way out in advance."

"Please elaborate."

"The land of Qi has the advantage of boats and seas. If it is unavoidable, you can sail to the sea. One can go east to the land of Cang Haijun, and the other can go south to Yuedi," Yan Jiang said indifferently, "in the south of Chu State , there is a land of Yangyue, separated by high mountains and mountains, the land is sparsely populated, rice is harvested three times a year, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away. Even if Qin wants to conquer it, it may take hundreds of years."

He said that anyway, you have a lot of big ships, so why not go to North Korea by boat first, it’s not far anyway, and you are familiar with the sea trade route, and the safety is tight there, just to open up the wasteland again.If you want to serve forever, try to go to Yangyue in the south. There is a Pearl River there. The water volume is only slightly worse than that of the Yangtze River, but it is definitely safe.

The two aristocrats of the Qi State were a little disappointed, their homeland was hard to leave. Although this plan could be used as an alternative, they still hoped to protect the Qi State, so they asked if there was any other way.

Yan Jiang saw that they didn't like these two items very much, so he could only smile wryly, and said: "This...it's really embarrassing, the power of the Qin army is feared by all six countries, and I, a small people, can't stop it. "

This is true, they didn't ask what they wanted most, so these people's interest in Yan Jiang was greatly reduced. What they hoped was to find Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Shang Yang, who could stir up the world by themselves. Up to this point, Yan Jiang is just an ordinary counselor.

Tian Shi was also a little disappointed, and invited Yan Jiang to go with them to Di County in the north of Qi State.

Yan Jiang sent him away with a few sentences, saying that he needed to go to Langya to visit his old friend, and then went back, and then he got rid of the sophomore boy.

He went back to the inn to bring back horses, supplies, and weapons, then went out of the city to find Huahua, and then continued northward.

Private schools in Qi State were flourishing, so Yan Jiang went to Lanling at the junction of Qi and Chu to see the place where Xunzi gave lectures in the past. There were still descendants of Xunzi giving lectures there, but there was no such grand occasion as the legendary students like clouds.

He was gentle and courteous, came to study, and was willing to exchange a precious thing like pepper for the opportunity to read Xunzi's book, and soon won the favor of Xunzi's family, willing to let him read the manuscript.

So Yan Jiang hugged the reed chicken, flipped through it, and chatted with it about Xunzi.

This mighty man can be inclusive, and both Confucianism and Legalism can be integrated, and he has taught Li Si, Han Fei, Zhang Cang and other famous people who have left history. He can be called a great educator. What he learned is kingly and domineering. Let's nurture the kingly spirit here, and don't be so biased.

His Majesty rolled his eyes at him, explaining that he likes to act domineeringly because of the trend of the Warring States Period, when he cuts through the mess quickly, and does it in one go, and does not give the Six Kingdoms a chance to breathe, he will naturally know the kingly way, but it is not applicable now.

Yan Jiang saw through the essence and asked him how long it would be suitable.

Of course, His Majesty replied that after the unification of the six kingdoms, he would use both kingly and domineering ways, but Yan Jiang still took His Majesty to read all the works of Xunzi in Lanling Academy, and His Majesty was persuaded to study. But Ah Jiang likes it, so he reluctantly does it.

After studying like this for a few days, I can see some famous names. Qin Wangzheng is extremely intelligent and sensitive. He is not ignorant of the power of thought. On the contrary, he is very clear about the importance of thought, so he agrees with Legalism's prohibition of thought and management of the people. This is completely domineering.

But people are not wild animals. As a kind of social life that lives in groups, they are not fundamentally different from each other. When they are together, they must need a rule to maintain their survival. The country can't move.

Because they couldn't give an ideological direction for the growth of an empire, and the country also needs goals, so Yan Jiang felt that His Majesty had to figure it out on his own.

This is far more important than the South and North War.

Of course he can give the answer directly, but based on his understanding of Ah Zheng, he is the most disdainful of the answer given directly. This person likes the process of pursuit, and he will only join his ruling policy if he can figure it out for himself. inside.

Your Majesty is very interested in Xunzi's emperor's art, but this thing is regarded as a handed down art by the Xunzi family, and he does not want to show it to outsiders.

This is not difficult for Yan Jiang, a small family of the county school. He asked His Majesty to look for it by himself at night. After reading it, His Majesty was very satisfied, saying that Li Si and Han Fei each got half of the true biography of Xunzi, but it was a pity that they could not personally teach Xunzi. Studying under the door.

Then I fell into a state of deep thought all the way, either chatting with Yan Jiang about the common people every day, or going to see the living conditions of ordinary people.

The life of the common people here in Qi State is going well. After bidding farewell to Lanling, Yan Jiang took His Majesty to see Langya and Qi Great Wall all the way, and finally arrived outside Jimo City, one of the five capitals of Qi State.

And here, they have already seen the currency exchange stronghold outside the city. There are many carts and horses full of money, pressing out deep ruts, and thousands of officers are guarding the trading place around them.

Yan Jiang curiously hugged the chicken and went to watch it.

The currency of the Warring States Period has no face value, and is usually calculated by weight. Unlike the copper coins with square holes the size of coins in later TV dramas, the currencies of this dynasty are surprisingly large and heavy.

Later generations of the Qi State sword coins seem to be only the size of a palm in pictures, but in fact they are more than 20 centimeters long. That is to say, if a knife coin is sharpened on one side, it can really be used as a bronze dagger.

The coins of other countries are not much different, they are all big and heavy, so it is not easy to exchange them, but here, some of them are directly given land deeds, allowing them to build houses and courtyards outside the city, and some of them are asked to exchange valuables for houses. .

These refugees are also willing to wait to exchange money. Although they know that this exchange rate will cause them huge losses, but the ups and downs of the days make them feel that more money is not as important as settling down.

Yan Jiang did not enter the city, but walked around outside the city, and then came to the remnants of the battlefield that the Fire Bull Formation had trampled all the way back then. He found a relatively high hill that could overlook the battlefield, and watched the historical relics.

This is the starting point for the famous general Tian Dan to lead Qi to survive in the Jedi!

Tian Dan, an ordinary city manager in the market, rose up here, led five thousand Qi warriors, defeated the 20 army of Yan State, and restored Qi State.

Even after 2000, this is also the famous battle of winning more with less.

Thinking about the picture, I am a little excited!

Just when he was about to draw a map of the ancient battlefield of Qi State, the ground suddenly trembled.

Immediately, the earth shook and the mountains shook!

Yan Jiang was stunned, and amidst the exclamation of the city residents in the distance, he put away his brush and looked to the northwest.

By the way, it's about this time.

But now, Wang Ben should attack the country of Dai with the land of Dai. That is, even the heavens are not helping Zhao Jia.

The author has something to say:

In the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng...there was a great turmoil in Daidi, from the west of Lexu, to Pingyin in the north, the walls of the terraces and houses were too damaged, and the ground was 16 steps from east to west. ——"Historical Records*Zhao Family" In history, the earthquake in the 100th year of King Qin was one of the largest earthquakes in history. The ground was directly cracked by more than 30 meters, directly destroying and changing Li Mu's fate. at once.

And the first year was also an earthquake, let’s forget about it twice in a row. After the earthquake, Zhao State encountered a severe drought, and Qin State came to take advantage of the fire again...
