Emperor Qin

Although it was just a casual question from the king, Yan Jiang was stunned for a while, and then concealedly picked up the little tiger and the fat panda to show his innocence.

Then I poured tea for the king, pulled out the wick, and sat down on my knees, which euphemistically expressed that I still care about you very much in my heart, and that I didn't come to see you because I was too busy.

As he said that, he also felt that something was wrong with him. It has been almost three years since he came to the Qin Dynasty, and the King of Qin was really tolerant of him. Either he went to find him himself, or he came to him. There was basically no order to summon him This kind of treatment by superiors and subordinates, and for this reason, I very much regard him as an emperor who can be fooled.

Only then did King Qin look up at him: "Look at this thing."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the attendant next to him picked up the cage, and there was a white crow in it?

Yan Jiang took a closer look at the cage and found that it was really a white crow. He looked at King Qin suspiciously for a moment: "What's wrong with this crow?"

The King of Qin said indifferently: "Prince Dan offered white-headed blackbirds and wildebeests. I hope that the widow will fulfill his promise and let him go back to Yan. You are familiar with animal nature, let's see if there is any fraud?"

Yan Jiang took a closer look and found that its eyes were red, and it was an albino crow. There was nothing wrong with it, so he told the truth.

Qin Wangzheng sneered slightly: "Yan Dan tried his best, but his father really didn't want to give him a chance."

What is the reason for this?

Yan Jiang looked at him curiously.

Qin Wangzheng gave him a volume of silk script, opened it, and found that it was a gorgeous national document, which was stamped with the seal of King Yan, and the words were written by King Yan himself, to the effect that he thanked King Qin for attacking Zhao and saving Yan earlier, and hoped that the two parties The country remains friendly, so if there is anything that needs him in the future, just say it, and - he doesn't know what Huan Jue is, there is no such person in the country of Yan, if he is caught, he will be returned to the country of Qin as soon as possible, thank you.

While reading the text, Yan Jiang looked at King Qin's expression, wondering about King Yan's purpose.

King Yan thought that he didn't want to see Qin as the dominant power. Besides, Yan had suffered enough from not having a general in recent years. The unreliable drama Xin Weijiang dragged the good country of Yan into the quagmire of the Zhao-Yan war. Not to mention his own death, a Zhao general Pang Nuan turned the battle of Yan into the Great War of the Great Patriotic War. Rescue in time, and the country of Yan will be finished.

Although Huan Yu lost to Li Mu, he is still a famous general in the world, and Li Mu cannot be used often if he wants to guard the Northland.

King Yan’s wishful thinking also signaled to King Qin that although I beg you to save me, I thought you were my father back then, but now that I am in no danger, you are no longer my father, and my country of Yan is still the king you want to win over. The object of long-distance and close-attack is not to do everything according to your wishes, you should respect me.

After Yan Jiang thought about it, he collected the silk book and said, "You want to kill Yan Dan?"

This slap in the face came too fast, King Qin also said to let Huanju's family go on the road neatly, now that there is no protagonist, and being fooled by King Yan, he must be in a bad mood, but he needs to comfort him.

"The country of Yan is remote," Qin Wangzheng said coldly, "now, we can't do anything to him."

Yan Jiang understands, that is, it is not time to tear his face, but Yandan's life will be sad like this.

Sighing, he sat behind King Qin, rubbed his shoulders, and said softly, "Your Majesty is tired, why don't you rest earlier, how about I cook for you."

His hand strength was so comfortable, Qin Wangzheng turned his head to look at him, stretched out his hand to press his fingertips, and got a smile and wink from the other party.

"No, someone passed on the meal." Qin Wangzheng put down his hands slowly, feeling his ears were getting hot, and turned his head to continue correcting the memorial, "Just accompany the widow to read these scrolls."

Yan Jiang naturally should be.

Recently the army dispatched, King Qin had a lot of things to do, but most of them were small and boring. Yan Jiang sat on the side and glanced occasionally, and saw one of the letters stating the production of small cars in the Shaofu, and some soldiers asked to change the small cars. For the cart, in order to increase the capacity, ask the king what to do?

Qin Wang left a message asking them to investigate how many carts they needed, and then showed him.

The next letter is General Yang Duan saying that he has nothing to do recently, Wei Guo is very easy to handle, can your majesty let me go to Wei Guolang for a while?

King Qin can't leave a message.

And the governor of Sichuan said that we have a good harvest of food here, their military and civilians are working together, and the king's wise leadership is the only reason for such achievements. The lines between the lines are frantically implying for praise, and mentioning whether we can give us more chili seeds this year. , Our output demand is super high.

Qin Wang left a message that you have done a good job, do as you say, and then pass it on to Zhisu Neishi.

Several counties next to the Zhengguo Canal brought the lawsuit to King Qin's case for water division.

Ji Suuchi said that the front line needs to prepare several warehouses for transshipment of grain, and it is impossible to deliver it at one time, so additional manpower is needed.

……

These are all meaningful questions, but more of them are rubbish content, such as the new prefect Teng wrote a letter every day: Wang Shanghao.

Qin Wang left a good message.

Yiqu in the north presented a fat sheep, saying that it is the best sheep in our country, I hope the king will like it.

King Qin liked the message.

There were also people who came up specifically to praise the great king.

King Qin left a message to shut up.

Yan Jiang took another look at the king. Doesn't this guy like to hear people praise him?

He continued to grind ink and ink for King Qin until he finished writing a lot of books, and then stepped forward to stretch his sore arms for him.

When his tired arm was pressed on the acupuncture point, it hurt very much. Qin Wangzheng frowned slightly, but soon stretched his eyebrows under A Jiang's service, and then asked gently what the two little tigers and a tapir were planning to do. How to clean it up, especially since this tapir has grown so big that it can almost be released.

Yan Jiang gently expressed that he is not yet an adult, he cannot be separated from others, and he cannot be let go for the time being. On the one hand, Xiao Gungun, who was left out in the cold, has been able to hug his legs proficiently. Live in the owner's clothes.

Seeing this situation, the two little tigers that were biting each other acted unanimously, rushed over and tumbled on their master, and fought into a ball, causing hairs to flutter everywhere, Huahua stood motionless in the corner, like the master of the harem, with a big heart , Don't take these little goblins seriously.

So the tenderness on Qin Wangzheng's face was removed, and he indifferently stretched out the massaged hand and put it on his lap, not giving Yan Jiang any chance to flatter him.

Enduring heartache, Yan Jiang carried Tiger and Gun Gun back to the nest, sat next to King Qin, pressed the other's hand, and said seriously: "Your Majesty is always the most important in my eyes, other species are just passers-by, only you are like jewels and jade." , makes me think about it day and night..."

King Qin seemed to be even more displeased. He said coldly: "In the old days in the Maurya Dynasty, King Ashoka used pearls and jade to keep you. You said that these gold jewels and jade can't be eaten by hunger, can't be clothed by cold, and they are nothing but clouds outside your body. They are insignificant. Now say It’s not a shame to say that.”

Yan Jiang's smile froze instantly, how could you still remember what he had yelled in his heart for so long, he forced a smile on his face and said: "That's not the case, it's just that Wang Shang is as handsome as a heavenly man, as beautiful as a pearl and jade, so I used an analogy, you It’s like my good compass and my sextant, I carry it with me, and I can’t do without it.”

It was the first time that Qin Wangzheng was praised by A Jiang for his beauty, and his ears were slightly hot for a while, so he glanced at him, and then handed him his arm again with restraint.

Yan Jiang skillfully smoothed the king's hair, and ate with him the fat-free sheep presented by Yiqu. After talking about the geographical features of the mountains and rivers of various countries, he washed and rested. Huahua failed to have sex with his master and was driven out. When we got to the next door, after the king changed His Majesty to log in, he slept with him again.

The next day, King Qin went to court with satisfaction.

In the court, the news of Yan Guo's national book had spread to the courtiers, and some people asked how to deal with the Huanju family.

Hearing the words, Qin Wangzheng took a look at the comfortable arm that had been pinched by the man, and was not so angry: "The legend says that whoever gets Huanyu's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the family will be punished. Blood relatives will be executed, and the rest will be punished." As a slave, exiled to the north."

This is not a cruel punishment, and everyone present has no opinion, so the matter is passed.

Soon, Yan Jiang who received the news was also relieved. The execution of several blood relatives is the iron law of the Qin State, and there is no way to change it. At least it will not implicate those relatives who are farther away. War exploits can also have a chance of recovery, which is better than being taken away by a pot.

He continued to take the big and small tigers and Gun Gun to soak in the Shaofu led by the Mo family.

These Mohists convinced him very much. The assembly line, which he used on the cart, has been popularized by them. It has only been two months, and it has spread to ordnance, especially the feathers of bows and arrows, and the wrapping of spears. After outsourcing small items such as strings, Yan Jiang saw with his own eyes that the animals near Xianyang were in bad luck. The white geese almost ran away when they saw children, and the cattle and sheep would lose their hair if they looked bad, and they could earn extra money. The children's fighting power is so terrifying that it is unimaginable...

Of course, a surge in production is also unavoidable.

They are immersed in inventions and creations and cannot extricate themselves. After knowing the power of the water wheel, they can't control the prehistoric power in their bodies. Water mills, water cones, water wheels, and water forgings have appeared beside the water in Xianyang... everything can be accelerated. Those who use the water fittings have not escaped their clutches, and even that area has been built as a port and turned into a new market, with tax collectors.

The promotional power of Qin's horror showed its fangs. After the successful experiment, the officials of the Mohist Shaofu went to the mountains and the countryside in Xianyang, promoting the waterwheel mill wherever they could. River, the parts can be transported by ship, and they can be assembled in a suitable place, which is enough for them to streamline and study better structures and operations.

Villagers and ordinary people were ordered by the Shaofu to join the project—although at the beginning, he knew that he would have to serve another short-term service, even if he was close to the village, he was very displeased, but soon after the repair was completed, There will always be a large real fragrance scene.

As a result, many townships and counties would take the initiative to ask when they could build mill waterwheels in their townships. When they knew that their water power was not enough, they would be very disappointed and repeatedly begged the officials of the Shaofu to hope that they would go and see again.

During the construction of water conservancy projects in full swing, it took a while for Qin to receive the news of the severe drought in the world.

At this time, the Qin people in Guanzhong suddenly discovered that from the first month to June, except for a light snowfall at the beginning of the first month, there was not a single drop of rain...

Drought is no better than flood. It is very concealed and very little resistance. People always hope that it will rain soon. When people react, the fields have dried up and the rivers have withered. People can only carry water to a drop in the bucket On the ground, watching the seedlings slowly wither, trying to save grain and rice, and finally hungry enough to eat all edible things.

Qin State’s efficient wheat promotion has successfully avoided this drought. Although winter wheat is inevitably affected to a certain extent, at least there is still a harvest. Bashu has Dujiangyan, which is not a big problem. South County has Yunmeng Daze to draw water, but Taiyuan Longbei County It is inevitable that some relief will be needed in some places, but these places are not the main grain-producing areas, and the impact will not be great.

What is really miserable is Zhao Yan, Chu Wei, and most of them grow corn. Although it is more drought-tolerant than wheat, it is planted in spring and harvested in autumn. Crops have basic requirements for water in summer. During droughts, evaporation under the hot summer sun is Every farmer's nightmare.

What's even more frightening is that this drought lasted until August. From March to August, there was not a drop of rain. This kind of drought in the entire Central Plains gave people no chance to replant.

The response from all parts of the Qin State was to ask for water trucks, and the second was to continue to collect troops and send food to the front line to stockpile.

Yan Jiang started to record the weather—this was a sign before the Little Ice Age. Droughts and floods might be common in the next few decades.

Qin Wangzheng was very happy about this matter, and felt that it was because he was obsessed with agricultural promotion and A Jiang's contribution to bringing back the seeds, so he often came to Yan Jiang to enjoy cold food and cool breeze and praise in the name of rewards.

Even a small incident that happened recently didn't disturb his good mood - Zhao Guo didn't produce food at all, this time there was already a natural disaster, and when the army was sent at the end of the year, it would be much easier to fight, because God was also helping him.

"Prince Dan has escaped, are you really not worried at all?" Yan Jiang didn't think it was a trivial matter, so he pushed King Qin who was eating ice with the news.

"The mantis is like a chariot, what is there to worry about? Yan Dan is light-hearted and superficial, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Qin Wangzheng said this, but he had opinions on other people, "But Gao Jianli, the widows value him so much. , to help Yan Dan flee, and when Yan is destroyed, he will be captured again, and his eyes will be stabbed to play music."

Yan Jiang's expression was complicated for a while.

"Aiqing is worried that the country of Yan will be destroyed?" Qin Wangzheng took time off.

Yan Jiang smiled and praised: "How come, with the king here, what territory can't be obtained, what country can't be destroyed?"

King Qin smiled brightly, with a majestic appearance and boundless arrogance.

However, in Yan Jiang's mind, there were repeated images of hiding around the pillar with the sword behind him, and he also laughed.

For a time, inside and outside the palace, there was harmony and harmony.
