Emperor Qin

Chapter 203 Extra Story - Yue

Baiyue is hot and humid, and there are countless snakes and insects.

Wiping off the sweat from his forehead, Yiyu Song stood in front of the newly built intersection and looked into the distance.

"Your Majesty, it's not uncommon for caravans to be delayed for a while due to heavy rain." A Yue man next to him persuaded him. He was about [-] people, most of his face was covered by beards, his upper body was exposed, and he had snake-shaped tattoos painted in two colors. Showing his status as a nobleman in Shanyue.

After the state of Chu destroyed Yue, the princes of Yue fled to the mountains and forests of Minqiu to mingle with the locals. Although most of them had been assimilated, they still yearned for the Central Plains. There are too few, and they are scattered all over the place. If you want to be a scholar-bureaucrat, you can't find anywhere. You can only have one king and a few generals, and you can't continue to seal them.

"It must have been detained by the Minyue people." Yiyu Song said angrily, "It's normal, but now I know that Ouyue was injured by the strong wind, but I still do it. Is it true that I dare not lead troops to plunder? "

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!" Jie Jun beside him said with a wry smile, "If so, all the Yues will join forces to attack."

Translator Song sighed, recalling the pain and ups and downs of Yueren in these years.

The Yue people made a living by collecting, fishing and hunting, and they ate a variety of rice. However, there are many mountains and water in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, and the output is low and the people's livelihood is difficult.

About ten years ago, caravans from the Central Plains began to appear in the land of Zhuyue. They needed a kind of leaf that grew in the south, and they were willing to exchange it for mulberry and corn.

In this way, the lives of various tribes of the Yue people have naturally improved over the years, and even some small tribes, with the support of the Central Plains people, opened up tea fields and were hired to pick tea.

Although nothing happened at the beginning, but gradually, the wealth of the caravan made them covetous, and many Yue people acted as savages to attack the caravan.

Of course it was easy to plunder the caravans that came to Baiyue, but after a few round trips, the merchants from the Central Plains bypassed Yue and went from Yelang Kingdom in Shu to Yunnan to collect tea. Pottery, ironware, and the most important grain lost their sources of trade.

They also tried to control the commercial routes of the Yelang Kingdom, but although the Yelang Kingdom was low in front of the Qin State, it was a giant to them. After several battles, the Yue people retreated.

Then the surrounding Yueyue forgot that they had benefited from the plundering, and instead they all broke the rules against Ouyue, who wanted to plunder, and held them accountable.

To make matters worse, Qin Guozhengqing, the master of Minyue, did not know how to climb up. He not only bought a large amount of bitter tea from them, but also helped Minyue build roads and bridges, making the lives of Minyue people far better than others. Zhuyue.

But Minyue didn't have the idea of ​​everyone living a good life together. When they wanted to barter, Minyue raised the price in every possible way. A bag of corn even cost two bags of dry tea, not to mention the sky-high price of water Gu medicine.

If they have never tried the good things of the Central Plains, they can live on in that day, but they have tried the ability to exchange useless tea for full stomach corn, tried the life-saving effect of medicine, and tried the iron utensils in the mountains. It's easy to use, but where can I go back.

Not to mention that there is an increasingly prosperous neighbor next to him, showing off in light silk clothes when he has nothing to do.

So Yixu Song and the Yue people in the south of the Lingnan started an alliance again, preparing to conquer Minyue and win the business of Qin.

As a result, Minyue resisted desperately and invited the Qin army to help them. The [-] sons of the Baiyue alliance were wiped out by the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who rushed over. He surrendered to Qin without even thinking about it.

When there was no one to ask for help, he was granted the title of Marquis of Nanyue of Qin State and became the governor of Minzhong County. Now the king of Qin, his power has exploded to become the leader of all Yue, dragging the tiger's skin to pull the banner, and subduing him in the name of conquest for Qin Zhuyue is almost becoming a public enemy.

Everyone is from Yue, and they are very skilled in mountain warfare. Your hometown is on the mountainside and my nest is on the cliff. Everyone knows the basics, but Minyue has the reinforcements and supplies of Qin State. It is really impossible to beat Zhuyue like a dog.

Under such circumstances, under the pressure of Zhuyue, Yixu Song had no choice but to take the initiative to apologize to the Qin State, and was willing to become a county of Qin State, but please don't let Minyue fight again.

In his opinion, Wu Zhu's appointment as a Qin official did not affect his rights, but instead made his subjects rich. The only thing he paid was the annual tax burden and servitude.

For this reason, he personally brought a heavy gift and went to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

It's just that this time, I almost can't come back.

Thinking of this, he was a little ashamed, the prosperity of Xianyang was something that he, a remote Yueman, could resist, whether it was the magnificent and majestic palace, the demeanor of not even using the city walls, or the delicious food of Xianyang, and the endless farmland , an area that can't be walked for several months...

Having seen such a terrifying empire, he finally understood why Wu Zhu was so forthright.

He even fell in love with an actress who was performing, and in a state of ecstasy, he rewarded her with all his money, and returned home with almost no travel expenses.

He met the King of Qin, who was satisfied with his obedience, and not only named him Marquis of Nanyue, but also rewarded him with very valuable cloth and food. What he had to pay was to build an official office for the Qin State, check the household registration, and collect tea tax every year. Xianyang will send palace scholars to teach writing and arithmetic, and those who are talented can be officials in the official office of Qin State, and the Yue people can send caravans to come to Qin State for business.

The last one made Yiyu Song the most excited. This was the biggest reason why they were willing to become ministers. If they could obtain the business status of Qin, they would not have to endure the locust-like exploitation and price suppression by merchants in the Central Plains, and they would be able to make more profits and buy more grain.

So when they returned to their hometown, they not only brought a large number of seed utensils, but also brought back a Mr. Xianyang who volunteered to teach, and mapped their language into Qin characters. The knowledgeable leaders of Baiyue sent their own sons to learn.

……

At this moment, the sound of oxen and horse carriages came slowly from a distance.

A caravan with dozens of vehicles circled the mountain bend, like a long snake, slowly approaching him.

Zhao Tuo followed the convoy into Panyu City. He was from Changshan, Yandi. He had just served in the military this year, but he was unlucky and was sent to serve in Lingnan. This time, he was asked to lead the army to escort the caravan to the south to learn more.

The city of Panyu is built on the mountain, with layers of mulberry trees, blending into the trees and rocks, and it looks very majestic. It is said that Yiyu Song, king of Nanyue, asked Qin King for a new city built by craftsmen after seeing the court of Qin.

But at this time, there were a lot of hungry people in this city. Zhao Tuo asked his superiors why there were so many hungry people, had he not heard of the drought or waterlogging in this place?

Ren Xiao smiled slightly, explaining that this place is near the sea, and every summer and autumn, strong winds come from the sea, destroying fields and houses, so most of the counties in the South China Sea have few manuscripts and are prone to famine.

Zhao Tuo nodded to indicate that he understood.

Ren Xiao asked him to guard by himself, turned around and walked skillfully into the government office, and found a young man who was teaching students. The age of the students under him was from seven to eight years old to thirty or forty years old. He listened carefully to the teacher's explanation on the wooden board Learn multiplication and division very seriously.

Ren Xiao smiled and listened to the whole class, and then the teacher announced that the get out of class was over, and he leaned up and smiled: "These barbarians are so talented and capable. They are really lucky to be taught by Dr. Xianyang."

"Great work is hard to earn." The gentleman smiled slightly, "If we can calm Baiyue, I will be free from worries for a hundred years."

Now all schools of thought are struggling in Xianyang, and the Strategists are moving to the Six Kingdoms, and they don’t want to work for the barbarians and the southern barbarians, so they can only find another way. Baiyue has no writing, no books, as long as he can control him here With the roots of the family rooted, Xianyang must rely on his family's theory to assimilate the Baiyue barbarians.

As for the way of governing the country, they are all inferior to the French and Confucianists-as long as they absorb the essence of the two and integrate into the vertical and horizontal ways, what is the difficulty? Can the students of Baiyue see that they are not successful?

And as long as Baiyue is provoked to compete with the Yelang Kingdom, the Qin army's entry into Fujian can be repeated, and the Qin soldiers stationed there will be full of Qin in a few decades.

It is also fortunate that His Majesty is very patient now and does not pursue the destruction of the country in a few years.

Mr. Na was puzzled again: "As the deputy commander of the Southern Army, why did you come here in person?"

Ren Xiao smiled meaningfully, and said: "Your Majesty asked me to come here to help Baiyue build the canal."

……

A quarter of an hour later.

"Is this statement true?" Yixu Song held the silk map in his hand, "As long as this short canal is completed, Nanyue will have ten times the current grain in a year? Can there be a hundred hectares of fertile land?"

"Not bad!" Ren Xiao answered decisively.

In Xianyang Palace, King Qin was looking at a map of rivers and canals.

"Which river is this going to dig?" Yan Jiang asked with a smile.

"The name of the canal has not yet been determined," King Qin said calmly, "Jian Lu and Chen Ping said that it was difficult to transport grain in the south of the Lingnan, and proposed to build a canal to transport grain in the south of the Lingnan."

At the beginning, Yan Jiang suggested that the south should not be beaten hard, and suggested that beating and soothing should be used together, so Chen Ping was also sent to the south.

Chen Ping, the conspiracy mastermind in history, lived up to his entrustment. It took only one or two years to bribe several small tribe leaders of the Yue people, instigated the Song Dynasty to attack Fujian, and caused civil strife in Baiyue, forcing Minyue to borrow money from Qin. Bing, professing ministers to Qin, became an excellent example of Qin's use of barbarians to control barbarians.

Then Chen Ping played with his feelings, and bribed some small tribes of Yue people to propose translations and call on Song Dynasty to become a vassal of Qin Dynasty.

Song Song saw that Wuzhu was not treated by Qin State, and saw that Wuzhu was too powerful to stop, so he professed his minister to Qin and let Qin State extend its tentacles to the south. Now Chen Ping simply won't come back in the south, and he is going to fool around again. Call on Song to attack Yelang with the support of Qin...

So are you getting ready?

Then this river should be Lingqu?The ancient canal connecting the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River?

Yan Jiang became interested in an instant, and came to King Qin's side: "Why, you don't recruit civilian husbands to dig river ditches this time?"

The king of Qin handed a memorial to Yan Jiang.

Yan Jiang flipped through it briefly, and almost laughed out loud. The Nanyue king Yixiong hoped that Daqin would send more food in exchange for tea and spices, and hinted at the increasingly dissatisfied Zhuyue in terms of prices, meaning that he was disobedient. I'm going to be doomed to the Yelang Kingdom, and if you don't help me, I won't be a vassal.

"So your opinion is that Baiyue helps to dig river channels so that grain can enter South Vietnam, so there will be too much grain?"

"Tell me, can they understand this idea?" King Qin asked leisurely.

"They are good at fighting, but this intrigue is probably worse." Yan Jiang said with a smile, "If there is no foreign enemy, this Baiyue is not in harmony."

Even if one or two smart people see Qin's ambitions, they probably won't be able to convince other tribes.

Back then, Qin State directly fought against South Vietnam for ten years, hollowing out the entire empire, and Baiyue once again stood on its own following Qin's destruction.

When Emperor Wu of the Han conquered Baiyue again, he started from the inside and instigated civil strife among the Yue people. Within two years, he conquered Baiyue, and Qin was once again a wrong book.

But who made the terrain in the south complicated, the cost of reckless past there is too high, so we still have to take it slowly.

"Ah Zheng..." Looking at the map of the canal, Yan Jiang was eager to see the construction of this famous canal. This is a world-renowned project that is not inferior to Dujiangyan.

"By the way," King Qin suddenly had a gentle attitude, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, "I want to patrol the border in the south, can Aiqing go with me?"

It's time to swim the river together.

"..."

The author has something to say: I have finally filled in the pitfalls of the Qin Dynasty. I recommend Jiyou’s pre-received article "Being the Head of the Sect from Today". I was planning to write an article with Jiyou next week. She wrote this book, all of which are game texts that travel through different worlds, but the output has been too much recently, which makes me feel that I need to take a break. See you in October.By the way, there is still a modern side story that hasn’t been written, right? Maybe it will drop randomly...

Xia Jiong: Could it be that I am the hero of Shuangwen?

But the whole other world has just experienced a disaster, the fairy mountain was broken into ruins, and the elders and disciples died, leaving only three or two kittens.

Xia Jiong: Female mouth eight.

There was no money in the bag, and the hands were full of radish heads. Xia Jiong was speechless, and looked at the elder Xianshan who summoned him.

"...It doesn't matter," Xia Jiong said, "Did you know that there is a special kind of creature on the Azure Planet. If you ask this kind of creature to help rebuild the fairy mountain, not only does it cost nothing, but they will also give us money back."

"Don't make fun of me," Zhuo Qingjun, the elder of Xianshan Mountain, paused, "What's the name of this thing?"

"Of course it's the fourth natural disaster—" Xia Jiong spread his hands, "You're a player."

A day later, Azure Star.
