Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang was a little helpless.

I can only find mice for His Majesty by myself, so I am often not by Qin Huang's side.

No way, these days, he feels like voles are almost extinct.

The hungry and red-eyed victims even ate locusts, so how could they let the rats with meat go?

In the severe drought in the Central Plains, although the Emperor Qin had a relief plan, after all, food was limited, and he could only survive. When eating wild vegetables and grass roots without oil, you can clearly feel the oil-absorbing ability of wild vegetables-it is really like being in the belly. The pain of cutting oil.

So after Qinhuang opened up the mountains, rivers and forests, the victims of the disaster came into the mountains in groups, wanting to make up for it with meat.

As for the mice in the field, they are also meat, and if you find a field mouse hole, you can find the food it hides, which can weigh at least three to five catties. This kind of life-saving food has severely reduced Yan Jiang's chances of improving food for His Majesty.

From Qi to Yan for more than two months, Shengsheng only got three or two rats for His Majesty to eat.

Although there are substances in the body of the fish that can allow His Majesty to see at night, but this stupid bird doesn't even know how to spit out the most basic food pills of an owl, Yan Jiang really dare not feed it a fish with thorns.

Xiang Liyun is really unreliable.

Yan Jiang was worried about this, but he didn't know that Qin Huang already felt that something was wrong.

These days, Emperor Qin was busy rectifying various places. Every time he went to a place, he would personally inquire about the local civil affairs, level the land, and drive all the big families who occupied a lot of land to Xianyang.

Of course, those who lost their land did not get the land directly, but got it by "loan". The "reactive" land they got was taxed [-]% more than other people. As servants, they can all rely on military merits to reduce tax burdens or obtain fields.

In fact, there are so many common people who are willing to get the land that they overwhelm the threshold of the county government offices.

It is also fortunate that Qin State came to administer the law as a conqueror, and with a strong army at its disposal, he could use whatever he said. If the rulers of the Six Kingdoms did this, they would be overthrown immediately.

He was full of energy and quick thinking, and his whereabouts were erratic, which made the county guards all over the country complain again and again.

Of course, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms are unwilling to miss this kind of good opportunity. During these few months, Emperor Qin has received warm welcome from assassins wherever he went. Unfortunately, the guards around him are even more enthusiastic to welcome the assassins, and generally they cannot break through. The first line of defense was just an excuse for Emperor Qin to implicate Jiugui.

As a result, there are so many things that normal people can't solve at all. Qin Huang only managed to cope with the two numbers together, but he also clearly felt the deterioration of His Majesty's eyesight. It's normal, but it's a pity, so I worked harder to rectify the officials in various places, trying to make my rule more stable.

However, when he started to parade on the road again, he found that he had been neglected by A Jiang for a long time these days.

Alarm bells rang in his heart instantly, worrying if there were some wolves, tigers and leopards that he had brought into the harem again.

At this time, Xiangliyun's delayed express package finally arrived.

Yan Jiang looked at the whole big bag of rats, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that His Majesty was finally saved.

There was also a letter from Xiang Liyun in it, saying that the earlier portion of rat meat was sent to the wrong place, so there was a delay, and I asked Zhengqing to forgive Yunyun.

Of course Yan Jiang would not be entangled in such a trivial matter, he put the letter on the table, and tore the dried mouse into shreds with a knife, trying to prevent people from seeing its original appearance.

He had been busy all afternoon, and at this moment, Qin Huang, who had finished dealing with political affairs, came to find him.

Hearing the sound of knocking on His Majesty outside the door, Yan Jiang quickly put away the unfinished dry bag of the mouse, and continued to flick the dust off the meat in a nonchalant manner.

Qin Huang had been busy all day, and when he entered, he saw his beloved wife sitting quietly under the window, with a leisurely attitude. The setting sun slanted into the window, reflecting his handsome features, serenity and deepness, which made him feel happy involuntarily.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he sat across from Yan Jiang with his sleeves waved, leisurely twirling a shred of meat, playing with his fingertips.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly: "Why, do you want to eat?"

Qin Huang stared at the staple food of his own bird body, and said with a smile: "I remember when we first met, you threw a dead mouse in front of me, and I regarded it as a provocation..."

Yan Jiang also remembered the picky eater of that silly bird back then, and reached out to touch his left arm: "Your claws were really sharp back then."

Qin Huang clasped his five fingers with one hand, and stroked the three scars on his left arm with the other: "Yes, but you are also very offensive."

"When rescuing animals, you must ensure your own safety." Thinking of binding His Majesty's paws after being scratched, Yan Jiang said quietly, "At that time, Your Majesty was quite flexible."

He didn't struggle or scream, just looked at him obediently and pitifully. He fed the bird, healed his wounds, and saw that he recovered, so he released the heart bird. When the bird was released, it held a grudge. Grabbing the mud and throwing him, he was almost shot by the angry Arshak.

But I didn't expect that the heart bird flew back after flying away for a few days, and even ate his food without saying anything.

Qin Huang also recalled the self-indulgence at that time, and said with a light smile: "You provoked it first, so who is to blame?"

No way, it can't let itself starve to death.

Yan Jiang also smiled, and said, "Did I force-feed you rat meat at that time, so you are so afraid of rats?"

Qin Huang certainly did not admit that it was the reason.

They resolutely did not continue this topic, because they turned against Arshak, the big money lord, and His Majesty, a scheming bird, began to frame Huahua repeatedly.

"It's been more than ten years since I met A Jiang," Qin Huang sighed, twisting the shredded meat, and finally put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, "Thinking about it now, it's like a dream."

Yan Jiang watched him eat with a slightly unnatural expression.

Qin Huang also talked about sharing weal and woe with A Jiang all the way back, about the vastness of the Peacock Dynasty, about the astonishment of seeing Dawan Tianma for the first time, about the long hardships of the desert and yellow sand, and the joy of being cheated and abducted all the way with A Jiang.

It made Yan Jiang feel a sense of crisis. What did he want to do?

Qin Huang finally saw him: "His Majesty Hua Hu is old now, it is difficult to travel around the world with you, I see that you have been alone for a long time, do you want to find another beast to accompany you?"

Yan Jiang will not be fooled by this kind of proposition. He immediately pointed to the sky and said: "Your Majesty, the bird is enough, and the birds and beasts are all clouds, but you will not be separated."

Qin Huang was quite satisfied with this answer, thinking that he was busy with political affairs recently and left the harem, so he invited his beloved wife to join him on a happy occasion.

Yan Jiang still refused at first, after all, it is not good to do so in broad daylight.

It's a pity that after being hooked twice, the body honestly agreed.

Good nights are short.

……

After tossing A Jiang so hard that he didn't want to move a finger, Qin Huang picked up A Jiang's outer shirt and carefully checked if there was any animal hair stuck on it.

At that time, it relied on its sharp eyes to drive away all the fluff hidden behind A Jiang, and resolutely prevented any other secrets from the side of the couch. Unfortunately, the bird's eyes are not very good these days, so it can only go to battle in person.

Qin Huang dragged his exhausted body to examine carefully, but found no special hair, and was very happy in his heart.

"What are you looking for?" A slightly hoarse voice came from behind.

Looking back, I saw A Jiang squinting at him. His face was flushed, his long hair was scattered on his sweaty skin, his expression was lazy, and the corners of his eyes were wet, which made people's hearts move.

So he threw away his clothes, went back to A Jiang to help him up, and said calmly, "It's the hair."

Yan Jiang snorted softly, well, as long as you don't find rat meat, you're safe, alas, there's no way to clean up the scene, the color is a bone-scraping steel knife, and I can't straighten my waist.

Neither liar believed the other.

He only called for hot water to take a shower and cleaned, and in his spare time, he brought up political affairs again.

Qin Huang said that the land of Wuyue was unstable, and he hesitated between conquering the Xiongnu first or attacking Baiyue first.

The problem on both sides is now a problem of the road.

Some people in the court suggested building a straight road in the north, connecting Xianyang and Yunzhong, and quickly transporting grain from Guanzhong to the north. Some people suggested connecting the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, and Yan to defend against the north; Meng Tian suggested that 30 troops go out together The battle will determine the outcome.

Qin Huang felt that these three opinions were good, he didn't want to make a choice, and wanted to do all three together.

He even enthusiastically calculated an account for A Jiang. It would only cost 70 people to build the Great Wall, and about [-] to build the Great Wall...With these, the border can be quiet, once and for all, and then ask A Jiang for his opinion.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly and said, "If we can take over the tribes on the Long border, build a city in Henan, call an alliance every year, and divide the pastures, I think there will be peace for a while."

Of course the Great Wall is useful, but to say that it has a very large effect, it has nothing to do with the national destiny.

Not to mention the early Han Dynasty. They were harassed and injured countless times behind the Great Wall. In the middle and late period, the grassland was conquered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall became a mascot. In the Tang Dynasty, the grassland was also in the Tang Dynasty. The territory and the Great Wall are useless. In the Song Dynasty, even though Youyun Hexi was lost, they still survived toughly.The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty became a drag, and the desertification of Henan was huge, and the sand was removed every year, which became a huge financial burden. However, the Ming Dynasty did not die at the hands of foreigners, but at the hands of laid-off workers Li Zicheng. The Great Wall is useless again.

To absorb the tribes of the grassland, the most important thing is to send culture. For example, the Qing Dynasty tried its best to send Buddhism to the grassland. One son inherited the family business, and the other sons became monks. In the end, the population was effectively controlled. Yan Jiang still remembers when he went to Mongolia to play, In addition to eating mutton on the grassland, it is all about visiting temples.

I hope Goonara will be stronger, and I will support him as much as possible.

Yan Jiang picks and chooses his ideas with Emperor Qin. Emperor Qin thinks that this method is too slow to take effect, and thinks that it should be carried out together with the conquest of the grassland, which can support the missionary work.

The two have different opinions, but they can always benefit. After discussing for a long time, both of them were hungry. Qin Huang saw that there was his favorite jerky on the table, so he picked it up and ate it, and handed it to A Jiang.

Yan Jiang looked puzzled, bowed his head and said that I don't want to eat meat, so it should be lighter, so he asked the waiter outside the door to bring porridge and side dishes.

Qin Huang then ate two more and realized something was wrong: "This thing must be mutton, right?"

The bird has poor taste and can't eat it, but he can eat it.

Yan Jiang said seriously: "Of course it's mutton, it's just smoked and preserved, so it's naturally different from the fresh meat you eat."

Qin Huang glanced at him, didn't think much, ate another one, and thought it tasted good.

Seeing that the test was passed, Yan Jiang felt relieved and lowered his head to eat, but he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

They are all in their early thirties, and they are really old, and their memory is not working.

At this moment, Qin Huang finished eating a handful of jerky, and looked at a piece of letter paper under the jerky, revealing a section of inscription, which was Xiang Liyun.

He pulled it out easily.
