Emperor Qin

Chapter 75 Attacking Zhao

After agreeing with King Qin, Yan Jiang became obsessed with feeding pandas.

He doesn't know much about feeding this national treasure, but fortunately, the wild animals these days are super strong in resistance and vitality, not weak at all. He named it Mengmeng. After having a new love, he hugged it and nursed it every day. , grooming, neglecting His Majesty Huahua and other old lovers.

Mengmeng was just born two months ago, her small body is fluffy and soft, she would get into his arms whenever something happened, she would usually roll and climb trees in the palace, and then fall down, attracting many palace people to watch and watch it The silly appearance seems to be in a better mood.

Yan Jiang hugged him even when he went to give lectures.

The Xianyang Academy is very lively now. The cheap and large volume of books allows poor students to save some money and buy one or two volumes. Many nobles from the six countries who occupy Xianyang also like to come to listen to the lectures. It will reveal the intention of soliciting, and once the two of them meet, they will be invited to have a meal, listen to a song, and talk about the world, and it will be considered a good thing.

So many students were willing to express their opinions. Yan Jiang said that it was the planting of the sycamore tree that attracted the phoenix, which was approved by many people.

Because Zhang Cang was too busy to take care of the academy, Li Si, a busy man, was put on another heavy burden by the King of Qin, temporarily managing the affairs of the academy.

But the problem still arises, there is only one podium, many people occupy it, dragging the time, it is easy to cause conflicts, especially in the situation where all the schools and factions are not pleasing to the eye, even if Qin Fa is in charge, it will be unavoidable Come on for a full martial arts fight or two.

So with a wave of his hand, Li Si allocated a piece of land for the students of various factions—anyway, it was outside the city, and the land was abundant and not worth much.

What Yan Jiang didn't expect was that the Qin Mo School had set a very good example in this matter.

In the past three months, although they failed to build Falling Water Villa, they finally found the most suitable ratio of limestone and clay, made earth cement, used ancient wood as pillars, and then used fir branches or bamboo slices as wall studs , the strength is also considered gratifying, and I am going to design a three-story building.

It's just that the output is a bit scary. The Mo family has been working around the clock for several months, and the amount produced can be pulled by a small truck.

Seeing this situation, Yan Jiang was tempted to help them design a building similar to an earthen building. The center was made into a stage, and a three-story building was built around it to expand the passenger flow. Serves as a docent to line up the preparation floor.

Qin Mo and others accepted this design concept, and then turned around and changed it.

They disliked the chimney-like appearance given by Yan Jiang, and cleverly buried the cylinder in the pavilion, and added side halls, front halls, and corridors next to it, layered on top of each other, and decorated with cornices and wooden tiles. They looked rich and powerful, not at all Mohist. Simple concept.

As for the insufficient amount of cement in so many buildings, after calculating the load-bearing structure, they directly prepared to build an all-wood building, and the cement was directly used to build walls and flat roads. The "modern design concept" that Yan Jiang tried to infiltrate was ruthlessly rejected by them clean out.

Yan Jiang was so angry that he was unhappy all day.

Qin Wangzheng was very happy about this, and even reached out to touch the panda cub, and comforted him: "Ai Qing, take it easy, it's just a small building, if you want, the widow will give you money to build the Efang Palace. gone."

Yan Jiang was stunned, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Why, why is it called Efang Palace?"

King Qin frowned slightly: "What's the name of that palace, you know it yourself."

Only then did Yan Jiang realize that in Qin language, "A" and "Na" were synonymous, and Efang Palace probably meant that palace, but—wasn't it the 70 prisoners who built the Afang Palace?Don't you have a good name?

Then why did Du Mu write "Shu Mountain is bald, and Afang is out", "Over three hundred miles away from the sky", "Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion", "I don't know how tens of millions of them fall"... " "A Fang Gong Fu" ah?

But having said that, Du Mu was from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Afang Palace had been burned down for thousands of years. He probably figured it out. It's just that the writing is too beautiful, which made him memorize this ancient prose.

Qin Wang saw him distracted, frowned slightly, and approached him.

The shadow shrouded, Yan Jiang reacted instantly, and suddenly blocked Xiao Mengmeng's face in one fell swoop.

"What's the meaning of Aiqing?" King Qin asked calmly as he looked at the little tapir with its teeth and claws stretched out.

Yan Jiang froze, and coughed lightly: "The king is too close, which makes the subject a little nervous."

"So that's how it is," King Qin didn't delve into it, but continued, "Xianyang Palace is old and needs to be rebuilt."

The buildings in Xianyang have been around for a hundred years. As most of the ancient buildings are made of wood, old and decayed cups are unavoidable. This is why he lived in Linjiang Palace for a long time.

Yan Jiang doesn't want to repair the house, at least not now, he has another purpose for coming today.

Thinking of this, he moved closer, his tone erratic and seductive: "Your Majesty, do you want to see the mighty Qin army with your own eyes?"

Qin Wangzheng's heart moved slightly, and he almost wanted to kiss him, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately became alert: "Where do you want to go?"

"I just want to see the demeanor of the Qin army," Yan Jiang held his hand and pushed him to the front of the case, pouring tea for him. "Naturally, I will take His Majesty along the way."

Qin Wangzheng took the tea bowl and stared at the thick soup with a slightly disappointed expression: "The widow has already said that you can come and go freely, so there is no need to report."

"Between you and me, of course we have to say something so that His Majesty won't be unhappy." Yan Jiang held King Qin's paw and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll just watch with the army and not go far."

Qin Di had a lot of things to do that he hadn't finished yet. He just couldn't bear to move for too long, but he didn't go far. This battle won't last for a few months, and he will come back after wandering around for a while.

King Qin knew that A Jiang was making a promise, so he nodded calmly in agreement.

Well, in fact, he also kind of wants to see...

So Yan Jiang resigned and went to prepare, and rescued Huahua from his Northeast wife by the way.

When Huahua escaped from the tiger garden, she was going crazy. She threw her owner to the ground, hugged and licked her for half an hour, and Pang Da wanted to get close to her, but she was so frightened by howling that she ran to the tree and refused to come down. .

Yan Jiang comforted the panda cub and temporarily entrusted it to the palace servants. The next time is to witness King Qin's unification of the six kingdoms!

He took the owl to find a local soldier and went with the army.

King Qin took a lunch break for nothing, and woke up during the day to watch the live broadcast. Unfortunately, there was nothing to see in the early stage. They were all selected soldiers from the village, and then they prepared their own travel expenses and went to gather.

The State of Qin has the best recruiting system in the world. Men are required to serve from the age of 17. At the beginning, they build a city wall and participate in military training for soldiers in the county. He was sent to deliver food and grass for the army, and also went to the battlefield when needed. After the third time, he was almost a mature Qin soldier.

That is to say, in the state of Qin, as long as a man is an adult and does not die, he has to contribute to the expansion of the state of Qin until he dies. Don't try to run away. They will all be punished as criminals, ranging from hard labor to concubines in severe cases. Not only that, but the rest of his team will also be sentenced to two years of hard labor.

Of course, there must be heavy rewards for heavy punishments. If you die on the battlefield, the family will receive pensions and tax reductions, and the titles you get can be inherited by sons, so that people will not bleed in vain. Forced.

Under the Qin Law, the entire Qin State was turned into a war machine.

Yan Jiang went east from Xianyang, and as he assembled his troops northward, he wanted to make a record of the Qin army's military service.

Qin Wangzheng did what he said, and was willing to follow him everywhere and give him all conveniences. He gave him a warrant so that he could directly talk to Huanju if he had anything to do.

This time to attack Zhao, Huan Yu led troops into Zhao from Yecheng. The goal he wanted to achieve was to effectively eliminate the power of Zhao State and make Zhao State cede the land. Next piece of meat.

Before Yan Jiang joined the army, he met Huan Yu. This strong general in his 40s had a square face and a high-spirited spirit. Although Yan Jiang's expression was gentle, he instinctively showed a little disdain. The idea of ​​deep friendship.

Of course Yan Jiang left.

It was still cold in February, most of the Qin army marched with armor, and wore cotton clothes in the armor. These armors were made of copper wires to string leather or iron sheets one by one, and they were worn on the body like a vest. Not everyone had them. Some are obtained in exchange for criminal meritorious service, some are inherited by the family, and some are purchased by themselves.

While wandering around looking at the logistics supplies, Yan Jiang found that the armor in the army was so varied, it was like shopping in a shopping mall, and curiously asked the grain officer where the armor in the army came from.

The food official told him respectfully that after breaking the law in Qin State, the fines are all in units of "armour". Soldiers use.

Yan Jiang asked again if the quality would be bad, good or bad?

The food official said that these armors are marked with the name and place of origin of the producer. If there are after-sales problems, the counterfeiters will be finished, so people in Qin generally dare not make fakes.

Yan Jiang was amazed when he heard this, and His Majesty was very proud of this, saying that the reason why Qin Law is so strict is to prevent everyone from being deceived, businessmen should be strictly controlled!

Yan Jiang argued with the bird, but both sides were too tired.

His Majesty could barely lift his paws, Yan Jiang spelled each letter until his head grew big, so he died down, hugged each other as usual, and fell asleep on Huahua's body.

Next, Yan Jiang experienced the speed of the Qin State. On the night he set off from Yecheng, Huan Jun captured Pingyang City.

Qin Mo, who accompanied the army, used local materials to make battering rams and siege ladders, and Pingyang City was a city near the capital of Zhao State, and rich and noble families fled from the north gate in carriages before the Qin army came over. There are some poor and humble people who cannot be moved.

Coupled with the lack of defenses in the city and the unstable morale of the army, it only took one day to capture the city.

What's more, on the second day after the capture of the city, Qin officials came from Yecheng to check the household registration, measure the land, and - nationalize it.

"These, these lands are going to be confiscated?" Yan Jiang was stunned.

"Return to Shangqing," the little official who investigated the land said humbly, "Only by inspecting the land can we reward the meritorious men and distribute it to the generals. As for the land of the common people, it will be returned for farming in the future, but the taxes are different."

Yan Jiang watched them bustle around like ants moving house, and finally sighed.

The operation of state-owned land is also too advanced, no wonder the nobles of the six countries rebelled later.

Seeing him thinking deeply, His Majesty couldn't help but go up and rub him.

"Your Majesty, do you know what governs the world?" Yan Jiang suddenly wanted to give him advice.

His Majesty pondered for a few breaths, and the answer was: "I."

I can't talk today!

Yan Jiang pressed the owl: "Forget it, good night!"
