Emperor Qin

Seeing such a great situation, Qin Huang really wanted to go to the southern frontier for a tour, but he just came up with this idea, and was suppressed by his beloved wife - Yan Jiang touched the bamboo tube on the spot.

So Qin Huang continued calmly and authentically: "...but the Central Plains is facing a major disaster. Although I want to visit Lingnan, I can only postpone this trip."

Only then did Yan Jiang put his hand off the blower indifferently.

Qin Huang was quite disappointed. In the next few days, occasionally when he was free, he stared at the south in front of A Jiang, with hope and disappointment in his expression, which made people feel the strong expectation in his heart.

Yan Jiang said indifferently about this: "I can take His Majesty to the southwest, and all places in Yunnan, Lingnan and Xiangnan are fine."

Qin Huang immediately stopped A Jiang's thoughts, saying that there is no need to worry if you have not traveled to the eastern places.

If Ah Jiang were to wander out alone, he might not return to the palace in three to five years.

So the two retreated one part each, and after visiting Nanjun, Qin Huang went north in a kind of way, planning to go to Chudi along the Huai River.

When passing the Xiangshui River in the middle, there was a strong wind, and the boat could not get on, and was delayed by the river for a day.

Qin Huang was very angry and asked Yan Jiang who is the water god of Xiang?

Yan Jiang almost laughed, saying that he came from the west and was not familiar with the gods in the east.

So Dr. Zuo immediately told Emperor Qin that the water god here is Yao's daughter and Shun's wife. When Shun died in Cangwu, Shun's wife chased here, and she also died weeping. Tears stained the bamboo body here. So it is also called Xiangfei Bamboo, and the sacrificial shrine of Xiangjun is on Xiangshan Mountain.

But Qin Huang was not moved by this tragic love story. He listened to the story indifferently, and then ruthlessly ordered: conscript prisoners, and cut down all the Xiangshan Mountains that dared to block his journey.

Yan Jiang originally wanted to stop it, but then he thought about it, everything is lacking in this age but trees, since he is happy, let him be.

After crossing the Xiangshui River, Yan Jiang chopped off a mottled bamboo with his own knife, and made it into a walking stick.

Although he wanted to make a bamboo flute more, but he and Ah Zheng are sound idiots, so forget it.

Qin Huang was in high spirits. Every time he went to a place, he wanted to enjoy the wonderful scenery with A Jiang, and every time he entered a city, he would listen to the wonderful music with A Jiang. He also said that this was a decision he had made before.

Yan Jiang couldn't figure out which day this decision was made.

They climbed Mount Heng together again, and Emperor Qin carved a stele on Mount Heng. It was still a long list of flattering words, but he added a stele similar to "Qin Shihuang came here for a visit" such as "Traveling with Qing". He felt a sense of shame, but Qin Huang didn't feel it at all. He felt that the inscription was worthy of the name, and that people in future generations should know what he had done, so that this life would not be in vain.

Yan Jiang was really afraid of him.

North of the Xiang River, they reached the Huai River.

Today the area around the Yangtze River is still sparsely populated, and the Huaihe River Basin is now a prosperous place in the Six Kingdoms. Unfortunately, this catastrophe has also affected this place.

Huaishui is the old land of Chu State. There are many kinds of rice, which have high water requirements. The yield of rice is not as good as that of wheat millet, but it can be harvested twice a year.

However, something is not right.

Qin Huang keenly found that the number of household registrations in Chu had decreased dramatically, which was far from the initial statistics.

The county guard said that it was war and famine, which caused the refugees to disperse and many households were absent.

But Qin Huang felt that it was more than that.

The refugees will run away, but in these years of famine, the number of common people cannot suddenly decrease like a cliff.

So he asked Ah Jiang for his opinion.

"It's just an annexation of the land." Yan Jiang didn't find it strange at all, and said calmly, "You are considered a wealthy household with a wealth of more than 20 yuan. After they should move to Xianyang, these people are not stupid. land, and famine has always been the best annexation of land."

The land tax collected by the Qin State is based on the area of ​​the land, and then people still have head money, and there are large and small labors every year. In exchange for the tyrants, they get food, and then they become landless farmers.

According to the law of the Qin State, land cannot be bought and sold, and can only be obtained through military exploits. However, when the Six Kingdoms first harvested land, it was all done by local people, and some tacit transactions were made in private, and there was no way to find out.

More common people will take the initiative to sell themselves as servants, and under the protection of big families, they will conceal their accounts, so as to achieve the purpose of reasonable tax avoidance.

Qin Huang thought for a long time, and asked A Jiang to change his number and go out with him.

One person, one bird soon knew it by heart.

So the Emperor Qin blatantly accused the prefect of Chudi, and manipulated the aristocratic families who concealed their population and land, exiled them, hung them on the walls, and killed some to show the monkeys, and then not only cleared the land, but also harvested Lots of food.

Then Qin Huang quickly issued a king's order, reducing the wealth to 20, but the tyrants with more than a thousand hectares of land were also included in the quota for expropriation and relocation to Xianyang, and rewarded those who reported hidden land assets.

As for what kind of bloody storm this kind of report will cause, Tietouying never cares.

He went all the way to the east and arrived at Pengcheng. Dr. Zuo mentioned that Dayu used to control the water and cast Jiuding Town in Jiuzhou. Among them, Jiuding has been incomplete since then, which is really a pity.

So Qin Huang ordered people to go down to fish for the tripod.

Yan Jiang had no choice but to force him to give money to these fishers, and not let people do nothing for nothing.

Qin Huang naturally would not be entangled in this trivial matter, and the rewards for these people who entered the water were quite generous.

Pengcheng scooped up the tripod for seven or eight days, but of course they found nothing. After all, it happened a hundred years ago, and the tripod was buried by sand. How could they get it?

Qin Huang was disappointed and continued all the way north.

He went to the scenic spots in Qidi to check in again, and carved another monument on the Fushan Mountain that he climbed, writing when He Zhengqing came here to play, and how good his martial arts and martial arts are. Everyone in the world, you must remember to be grateful ah!In addition, I did not want to engrave this stele, it was engraved by people in gratitude for my kindness.

Yan Jiang has become a Buddha at this time, so he can engrave it as soon as he likes it, it's not a big deal, just let him go.

Having played in Langya and Fushan Mountains in Qidi, Qin Huang passed by Linzi and watched opera performances flourish in Qi State, so he continued to go north, walked around Yandi, and arrived at Jieshi, which is later Qinhuangdao, and carved a monument.

Yan Jiang didn't even bother to read the inscription, anyway, it was just changing the soup instead of the medicine.

But what he didn't expect was that two more alchemists from the Mao family in Yandi came to see Emperor Qin, claiming to be people from the Xianmen, and mentioned that there were fairy mountains in the sea, and they wanted to live forever. The messy picture book is called "Recorded Book", which records the prophecies of later generations and can predict the future.

They spoke so mysteriously that they carefully analyzed the mountains, rivers and terrains of Yandi in front of the Emperor Qin, and related the rise and fall of Xia, Shang and Zhou to the loss of national destiny. Yangde and Yinde are the blessings of the ancestors. How to keep the blessings of the ancestors depends on whether His Majesty is willing to pay the price...

Yan Jiang suppressed a smile, and listened to the recorded books explained by them. They analyzed and finally came to the conclusion of "Hu who died in Qin Dynasty".

Qin Huang listened calmly, and then asked people to throw them off the sea cliff.

The two ways were unknown, so they were scared out of their wits and begged for forgiveness.

Qin Huang said calmly: "Since the two are immortals, they should be able to save themselves from the belly of a fish."

This requirement was too high, and both gods said they could not do it.

Qin Huang ruthlessly pushed them down, and expressed his disappointment that the two of them could not perform the immortal technique to come up.

Yan Jiang laughed at him for being too vengeful.

Qin Huang accepted this as a compliment.

Jieshi is already very northern. In the era when the Northeast was not yet reclaimed, Emperor Qin went west from Yuyang to see the grasslands on the northern border.

Yan Jiang felt that if Ah Zheng lived in modern times, he must be a travel expert like himself.

But this idea was too much, the officials didn't dare to persuade the king too much, so they flocked to Zhengqing's side to save the country, and they must not let His Majesty take risks with a lot of money.

Yan Jiang thought that Liu Bang, the Xiongnu, had been besieged for seven days and seven nights, and escaped by bribing his wife to blow the pillow wind, so he also rejected the plan to gallop on the grassland with the king, saying that it was too early, waiting for you to die It is not too late for the Huns to go.

Qin Huang was very disappointed.

In fact, there was another reason why Yan Jiang didn't go, he had to wait for the package from the post station.

It's been too long this time, His Majesty has already eaten all the dried rats.

That guy Xiang Liyun, if you don't send it over, His Majesty will go blind.
