The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Qin Wang Yingji's mother was a Chu daughter. After hastily succeeding to the throne, in order to secure the throne, she borrowed the power of Chu.And to get the support from the king of Chu, Yingji naturally paid a certain price back then, and marrying the princess of Chu as his wife was one of them.

The reason why human nature is wonderful is that people think differently when facing the same thing in different periods, which is extremely complex and changeable.Just like Yingji's biggest wish when he was still a proton was that as long as he could survive and return to Qin, he would pay any price.

And when he returned to Qin, he wanted to be the king of Qin, and he wanted to hold his own destiny in his hands.

When he became the King of Qin, he wanted to hold all the power in his hands, which naturally included the forces of Chu State that had helped him.

The queen is beautiful, gentle, considerate, well-behaved and sensible. He really likes it, but the premise of all this is that it will not threaten his royal rule.

The queen mother is a Chu daughter, the queen is a Chu daughter, and the crown prince is a Chu daughter. The power of the Chu state that has been entrenched in Qin for a long time is growing every year, and it is still bringing more and more Chu people to Qin.

These Chu girls quietly hide in the backyard of the family, like a vortex in the deep altar, no one knows when they will stretch out their hands, Ying Ji is sure that he will chop off every hand that stretches out, but he didn't Grasp the prince can do it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the exquisite black robe on his body perfectly concealed the murderous aura in the bright spring light.Yingji generously allowed the courtiers to observe the windmill at close range, and the old man holding his little grandson looked like every kind old man basking in the sun and talking about the past in fine weather, extremely harmless.

The king of Qin had been hiding himself behind his mother and uncle when he was young, and occasionally stretched out his sharp claws a few times, but quickly retracted them quietly, so fast that others thought it was an illusion.

In the eyes of outsiders, the king of Qin is incompetent, and the government is completely controlled by his uncle, but few people find that the general direction of Qin's development has been in the hands of the king of Qin from the beginning to the end.In the process of driving this rampant Daqin carriage, Yingji never dared to slack off.

He looked at the few courtiers who were observing the windmill from a distance, and he went through the blood and genealogy of these people in his heart, and he had a plan in his mind.

I think that in the near future, there will be a few more little mice on the Xianyang Plain.

The fact is as he expected, these beings who are his "nephews" and "cousins" in terms of seniority soon appeared frequently on Xianyang Plain in the name of watching the excitement.

But they were doomed to return empty-handed, for all the secrets of the windmill were hidden in its belly.

Its stomach is sealed.

From the outside, people can only see the constantly rotating blades and the round body, and nothing else.Unless someone is capable enough to climb over the cliff to cut off the iron pipe, and then observe the small device inside, there may be a little chance to solve the mystery, but this is obviously even more impossible.

Apart from this extreme method, the only way to open it is to remove the bricks on the windmill body piece by piece. It is obviously impossible to do this quietly.

Although Ying Ji didn't think that the existence of the windmill was an extremely confidential secret, but... he just didn't want to tell others.

Our state of Qin is not yet fully equipped, so why tell you?

When you are old, you are so self-willed.

By the time of the vernal equinox, the combination of windmills and waterwheels on the Xianyang Plain has been officially assembled and put into use. The water spit out this time is not the water that Lu Buwei used some means to quietly hide in the lower pool, but real river water. .

The rainy season in Qinchuan has not yet officially arrived, but the melting water from the glaciers has already increased the flow rate of the Jing River, and the increased flow of the Jing River drives the waterwheels, which continuously lift the river water into the water storage tank in mid-air.

The river water will be pre-treated through several filtration procedures, and the river water that has been roughly filtered out of sediment will eventually flow into a storage tank. The water intake of the windmill is near the mouth of this storage tank.

In this way, it is possible to avoid the failure of the windmill caused by the inhalation of large particles of sediment by the windmill, but if it is a small particle, it is basically not a problem. The silt in these rivers can also be used as soil fertilizer.

Although this method is clumsy and the filtering effect is not that good, the advantage is that it uses physical precipitation method, and the cost is almost zero.Excluding the need to do more when the Jinghe River is particularly turbid during the rainy season, usually you only need to send people down once a year to dig out the sediment, which is convenient and safe to maintain.

The river water that was continuously pumped up quickly infiltrated the land, and they flowed obediently along the drainage ditch into the newly dug reservoir.But because the capacity of the reservoir is not large now, the excess water quickly flowed slowly along the ditch to the direction of Xianyang Palace.

In the near future, ditches will be made in these places all the way to Xianyang Palace. According to the plan, the excess farmland irrigation water will become water for the palace after being filtered through precipitation.

In this way, the pressure of the palace relying entirely on rainwater and storing water on shoulders and hands can be relieved.

Everything on Xianyang Plain is good, but the lack of water makes people living here a little headache... Maybe it is for this reason that the Western Han Dynasty did not choose this place as the capital of the king in the end, but chose a lower and more It is on the other side of the Wei River, which is easy to introduce water.

Of course, the old Liu's family did not waste this feng shui treasure.Lack of water is inconvenient for life, but making burial mounds is very friendly, and there is no need to worry about groundwater problems anymore, who knows who lives.

Let's not mention the digression for now.

Not long after the windmill and waterwheel were confirmed to be available, Ying Ji issued an order. He ordered several of his sons and grandsons to enclose a piece of land on the Xianyang Plain, and asked them all to go to the field to farm, and especially made trouble out of nowhere. Said that the harvest from farming is directly equated with their pocket money.

That is to say, if you farm well, you will be rewarded, and if you don’t grow well, you will cut off the fiefdom, and you will not allow others to help, and at most you will bring your son.

After this order was issued, Yingji's sons were in utter misery. They were all born in Xianyang after Yingji ascended the throne, and they were sons of the empire from birth.Although the old Qin people's methods of raising children are relatively rough, but the princes and princesses are still different, but in terms of treatment, the princes of the royal families of various countries are almost the same.

And because compared with the sons of other countries, the Qin State does not implement the enfeoffment system, only the feudal system.

In other words, unless these princes have jobs to go to various places, they can only stay in Xianyang City, and all their income comes from the fiefs bestowed by their father.The princes of Qin who were firmly choked by their lifelines couldn't even find an excuse not to go to the fields, and even if they were unwilling, they had to wander around the fields for a meal.

Contrary to everyone's expectation, the most eye-catching star in this farming competition was none other than Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Xiaozheng has been walking around with his elder brother in the fields since he could walk. The children are very curious, and they always ask if they don’t understand anything. Lu family, Lu An himself is still a child, so of course he is very happy to teach his younger brother.

Therefore, although it is not obvious from the outside, Zhao Zheng is a farmer with two years of planting experience!

... It is more than enough to teach these elders with 0 experience points.

As the saying goes, the Great Qin royal family acts as an example, and the civil and military officials naturally have to follow it and go to the fields one after another. Even if they don’t farm, they have to go to the field for two more laps to show their loyalty.At the beginning, the common people were a little confused about what these people were doing, but after a long time, they let them go. As long as they don't go to the ground to ruin the crops, everything is easy to talk about.

The officials in Xianyang are all like this, and the local officials are naturally aware of the tendency of their superiors, and they naturally regard farming as more important, and they are more diligent in implementing and urging.After pushing forward layer by layer, when Xun Qing and his party arrived in Qin State, what they saw was a lush field.

When they arrived, it was already early summer, when the temperature rose and the sunshine hours increased in summer, which was the period of rapid growth of crops.But at the same time, the sudden increase in rain makes the climate more humid, and the crops are most likely to get sick.

It is after the new rain in the afternoon that the weather is sultry, and seedlings are most likely to wilt in this climate.

As the carriage moved forward, as far as they could see, there were a few Qin people scattered in almost all the fields.Xun Qing even saw several officials in official uniforms inspecting and asking questions in the fields.

Compared with Qin, the other countries are obviously not so careful about farming, even if they have more arable land.

However, perhaps it is precisely because they have enough plains and arable land that they will not be as careful as Qin, and will try their best to develop like a suppressed sprout.

"The state of Qin is like this..." Xun Qing sighed softly, with a complicated expression on his face. Although he swallowed back the words that followed, Xunzi's later works faithfully recorded his feelings at that time and passed them on to later generations. ——How can the six countries overcome it?

He originally thought that the Qin State would choose to rehearse its military formation at this time and prepare to take advantage of the trend to advance all the way east, but he didn't expect that the Qin State would actually choose to stop and let the troops return to the fields.

This seems to be a relief for the six countries in the east, but it is actually the worst situation.

King Qin's mind has not been dazzled by successive victories. Is there anything that can make his opponents more desperate than the head of a superpower who is still sober?

While Xunzi was in the carriage full of thoughts, he felt the carriage stopped slightly, and the door of the carriage was knocked after a while, Xunzi got up and opened the door, with the purpose of smiling into a small round face like a flower.

"Sir!" Lu An respectfully stood under the car and saluted, and then slid into the car after Xunzi returned the salute.The young boy who seemed to have grown up a lot took out a food box, "The student brought some preserved fruits, sir, eat some fruits to relieve the heat."

Obviously, these fruits have just been soaked in well water, and they are still cool in the hands, which is rare at this time of the market.It was not difficult for Xun Qing to guess that his student must have put in a lot of hard work, but he just smiled and didn't say anything, but swallowed the student's heart one bite at a time.

After eating the preserved fruit, he felt that his dull mood just now gradually melted away with the aroma of the fruit.After eating a piece of fruit and washing his hands with clean water, Xun Qing had calmed down and started chatting with the students.

From Lu An's mouth, he learned that from the beginning of this year, the King of Qin has put all his energy on land reclamation, not only sending troops back to the fields, but also ordering the military building department to put down the design of military equipment, to improve agricultural tools and distribute them to various places. .

Relying on Qin State's powerful government affairs system network, in just half a year, the improved agricultural tools have already arrived in the local area and have been forcibly promoted.

Moreover, the King of Qin began to call domestic experts in hydraulic engineering to Xianyang, and it seems that he intends to build water conservancy facilities.

Xun Qing listened quietly, without saying a word, but his brows and eyes gradually eased, "Qin is planning to change its national policy."

He said in an affirmative sentence, "Turn to war to defend, and wait for war with plowing."

"King Qin must have some expert advice by his side." Xun Qing said, "I just don't know what this gentleman's name is?"

Lu An tilted his head, turned around in his mind, and recalled the extra people around King Qin. After a long time, he touched his head, "Maybe, maybe it's my father?"

Xun Qing: "..."

"But my father is the only person around the king recently." Lu Xiaoan, who was kicked out by his husband, felt aggrieved. The senior brother complained, "An'er is right."

"I don't think sir is too angry about it."

Seeing that he didn't take the veil, Wei Liao leaned over and wiped off the water stains on his lips, then folded the veil and put it in his pocket with a smile, "Sir, I just didn't expect you to be a son, even your father would Nothing is clear."

"Because I'm busy too!" Lu An became even more angry, and who stipulated that a son should know exactly what his father has done recently!Like him, he doesn't know.

Even An'er didn't know about it, and the other children certainly wouldn't know about it! ——The one who speaks so outrageously is Lu Xiaoan.

After Lu Buwei succeeded in giving the King of Qin a face that day, he was immediately transferred to work as a civil servant near the King of Qin.Lu Buwei, who became a regular worker from a temporary worker, was very happy. After that, he worked hard every day and went out at dawn and returned home. Even Xiu Mu had to go out to connect with colleagues. Lu An hadn't seen his father for several days.

When Lu Buwei was free for a while, Lu Xiaoan was arrested to transform farm tools.His good brother did not forget him when he was sweating profusely on the farmland. After he found out that the agricultural tools used in Qin State were not as convenient as those in his hometown (Yewang City), he recommended Lu An to his last The kindest great-grandfather ever.

But what Zhao Zheng didn't know was that his great-grandfather had two faces. He was a kind and gentle face to his little grandson, and he was a black-hearted capitalist to Lu Xiaoan. took a seat against the parchment luck.

In order to "encourage" him, Yingji also specially asked the palace dining room to send someone to introduce Lao Qin's food by his side. The description was very delicious, but only the description was not given, and the painting had to be finished.

As long as the painting is finished, these dishes are his!

Lu Xiaoan was so angry, he gulped and drew more than a dozen drafts at once, throwing them all to Ying Ji, and then brought the imperial chef home.

But when he finished his work, he had just had a few days of Ansheng meal with his family, and his father was called away by the king of Qin again, "Poor my father, he has been busy until now without even finishing the imperial meal, and fell asleep as soon as he got home. Of course, An'er has no chance to talk to him! Now even the husband's residence is taken care of by An'er!"

Lu An especially sympathized with his father who did not have a good life.

Wei Liao glanced at his junior brother, moved his lips, but still didn't express his guess.

If what he expected was right, the reason why Mr. Lu was so busy without touching the ground was precisely because of this little junior in his family.

Farming is the foundation of the country, if, as Lu An said, he transformed the farm tools, then even if the king of Qin is not clear about his mind, he will not refuse to give rewards - the joke-like imperial meal is naturally not counted.

Considering Lu An's age and status, it is very likely that King Qin will give the bulk of the reward to Lu Buwei.The biggest possibility is to let Lu Buwei take charge of the reform of the farm tools drawn by his son.

If Lu An drew it indiscriminately, he would have killed his own father.If Lu An's drawing is indeed feasible, then Lu Buwei will take the credit and follow the trend.

The reform of agricultural tools is not a small matter, but Qin State has promoted it downward in just a few months, which may have a lot to do with this relationship.

The son designed it, and the father naturally had to do his best to promote it.

The father is in charge of promotion, and the son naturally has to use his best efforts.

King Qin has a clear understanding of people's hearts. Although he intends to take advantage of it, he also gave the Lu family a big opportunity.only……

I'm afraid King Qin would never have imagined that Mr. Lu didn't tell his son all this at all.

Lu Xiaoan was protected by his father with all his strength.

Wei Liao smiled slightly, showing some admiration for Mr. Lu.
