Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 334 Qin Yingzheng 5 Years

"When that man first came, his hair was fine, but his eyebrows and beard were sparse. One time, the servant left something in the house and went back to get it. I heard him drink with Liu Laosi. When he drank too much, he said... Just say that the beard was shaved, and the eyebrows were plucked!" The Liu family swallowed: "He also said that he had entered the palace!"

The wine bottle in Lu Buwei's hand fell to the ground!

He thought of a person, the man he originally wanted to present to the Queen Mother, Luo Yi!

When Lu Buwei was in the Yizheng Hall after the early morning court the next day, he couldn't think of Shu. When the Yizheng Hall dispersed, Li Jiyang stayed for dinner, and when Yingzheng was about to read the memorial, he still hadn't left!

Gan Jing and Zhang Ping were afraid that he would embarrass the king, so they stayed to argue with Li Jiyang. The main reason was that Gan Jing and Zhang Ping asked Li Jiyang for cement.

"Of course!" Li Jiyang was afraid that they would leave, so he dragged the two of them to explain the cement explanation in detail!

Another old general, Wang Jaw, asked if the cement on the frontier side could be transferred first: "I'm afraid we can't start work if it freezes after winter."

"This kid will ask someone to do this. In the future, the cement in the army will be transported by someone alone." Li Jiyang is actually very supportive of the construction of the border defense, but he thinks it is too early to build the Great Wall, because if the foreigners are disabled in the future, they will be destroyed. If the Great Wall is to be built, it has to be expanded outwards.

If you want to expand outward, let’s expand outward. If it’s really not possible, the Great Wall can build a few more layers to enclose the land of China layer by layer, and it looks safer.

But what Lu Buwei said to Ying Zheng was: "Are the servants brought by the minister that time still alive?"

"Of course I'm alive." Ying Zheng said, "It's all arranged...to chop firewood and boil water in the firewood room of the imperial kitchen in the harem!"

Lu Buwei choked: "What about that servant named Luo Yi?"

"Who?" Ying Zheng pretended to be confused with understanding.

"...that...well... the man pretending to be a servant." Lu Buwei held his breath and asked, "Is he still there?"

"Are you there?" Ying Zheng turned his head uncertainly and asked Jiang, his personal servant, "Is that person there?"

"If you go back to the king, yes, since he hasn't been corrupted yet, he has been punished again, and now he is working in the firewood house."

Jiang's servant clearly told the two of them that Luo Yi was still alive, and this time he really became a servant, working in the firewood house, and he was actually chopping firewood.

Isn't he tall?

Doesn't he have strength?

It just so happened that after castration, when it was almost ready, it was thrown to the firewood house to chop firewood.

Because firewood is chopped with an axe, which is a sharp weapon in the palace, so the firewood room is in a corner of the cold palace, and there are many imperial guards around, and even the cold palace does not allow people from the firewood room to go out.

Lu Buwei is aggrieved!

After Li Jiyang and the adults listened, he looked at Lu Buwei, and he was dazed for a long time just to make people remember that he once wanted to bring a man into the harem?

Lu Buwei said goodbye aggrievedly and left. When these people saw him leave, they all said goodbye to the king.

When everyone left, Li Jiyang looked at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang innocently, and the two of them laughed in unison at the same time!

Lu Buwei, yes!

In midsummer, after the weeds have been hoeed in the farmland, the canals are being built at a rapid pace, and there are still various Qin roads to be repaired, but Li Jiyang suggested to Ying Zheng: "It's better to wait for the canals to be completed and let Xu Yi and Zheng Guo survey all the roads in our Qin State. , and then I provided cement for road construction and let them continue to build roads. Immigrants from all countries have free time, as long as they have work to do and stutter, they will not make trouble, that’s enough.”

"Then you... this requires a large amount of food supply..." Ying Zheng realized that Li Jiyang's support for the Qin State was irreplaceable after he really got in touch with government affairs.

Why did Lu Buwei repeatedly want him to be Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law?It was because of the support given to him by Li Jiyang's inscrutable sect.

Why is the granary of the Qin state treasury not empty?

That's because once the granary is empty, there will be external grain to fill it up.

Why is the money warehouse of the Qin state treasury not empty?

That's because once there is less money in the money warehouse, there will be foreign gold to make up for it!

The salt warehouse is full of large grains of crystal-clear and plump salt, as well as refined salt as fine as flour.

There is no shortage of food in the palace, which also gives Yingzheng the opportunity to use his private property as favors, either to give officials some rewards, or to give some benefits to the common people. Although he is just an adult, the ruler None of the people below did not say good things about him!

He was afraid that Li Jiyang would not be able to hold on if this continued. This is the population of a country, not the population of a city.

He has done enough for him.

"There is plenty of food!" Li Jiyang thought for a while: "I have the support of my teacher."

"But even if there is a teacher, it can't afford the population of the whole country of Qin!" Ying Zheng is now afraid that Li Jiyang will hide from him, and fill the hole in his family business, let him be a good person, and he will be wronged .

"Don't worry, my sect...is not an ordinary sect...you just have to remember to be your lord, and I'll wait to see you unify the world!" Li Jiyang said very emotionally.

Yingzheng's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and the phrase "I'm waiting to see you unify the world" almost reached his heart!

The arrival of midsummer can't help but make the canal project faster and faster, and it also makes the temperature rise a lot. Every day, a large number of mung beans are pulled to the construction site and boiled into mung bean soup for everyone to cool off. Occasionally, there are big ice cubes in the pot In that case, the mung bean soup will be cold when scooped out at the end!

It's hot outside, but it's cool without ice in the high-rise hall!

At present, the Qin State mainly builds water canals and the Great Wall for border defense.

Li Jiyang exports all kinds of things every day, such as grain, cloth, salt, and tea.

The first three are for basic living needs, and the latter is for making money. Now tea has become an expensive consumer product, and nobles from all over the world enjoy drinking tea.

It is worthy of being one of the three major drinks in later generations!

Lu Buwei doesn't know what he's been up to recently, he's mysterious every day, and he doesn't miss the Yizheng Hall, but goes home when the time comes. Li Jiyang watched him through the micro-monitor and found that he recruited many literati and inkmen. Jijiyingying, he is compiling a book!

Li Jiyang thought that Lu Buwei was recruiting various literati and celebrities in the past few years. At that time, he probably had this intention, but at that time he wanted to gain a better reputation for himself, and wanted to mention his status as a businessman. For example, make a book!

In this era, when books are scarce, writing a book is a shortcut.

And it is beneficial to the common people. In history, he wanted to seek the cornerstone of usurping the throne; but now, he wants to restore his reputation.

When Li Jiyang saw this, he had an uncivilized thought...

At the beginning of autumn, the land of Qin has a bumper harvest, thanks to the grain seeds provided by Li Jiyang. They are all high-quality seeds produced by the space.

After paying the tax and grain, everyone returned the grain borrowed from the grain store, but they themselves didn't have much grain left, what should they do?

Go to work on the dam!

The whole family joined the battle, and the canal was built very smoothly.

Li Jiyang hadn't seen Xu Yi for almost a year. This guy lived with Yi Qu, and his family hadn't seen him for a long time.

The Qin State had a good harvest, and other countries were not as lucky as the Qin State, because they found that after the civilians were gone, the living standards of the nobles in various countries plummeted, and even taxes and food were reduced in autumn.

Especially in South Korea, there are almost ten rooms and nine empty rooms. Village by village, people flee to Qin State to find a way out.

There were even small nobles who couldn't stand the exploitation of the big nobles, and moved their families to the Qin State. They were rich, bought the nationality of the Qin State at a large price, and settled down in the Qin State.

The big nobles lost the support of the small nobles, and some big nobles fell apart and became countless small nobles, and then they were bullied by other big nobles, and then came to Qin...

By analogy, by the time the Lord of Korea finds out that something is wrong, it will be too late!

Even taxes and food can't be collected!

So the countries are angry, why is Qin so blessed!

The countries are ready to move around. Compared with other countries, Wei State is much better. After Yingzheng ascended the throne, the first country that he sincerely made friends with was Wei State. Yan State had no choice but Wei State.

Although Wei State gave Qin State [-] cities, Qin State also gave Wei State food that was as precious as life in the famine year.

After the autumn harvest, foreigners from the grassland invaded, but they were stunned by the majestic city walls!

Cement is indeed a good thing. The city walls of the building are horizontal and vertical. It turns out that the ancient city walls had a certain slope. After using cement and blue bricks, the city walls are straight and straight. Let alone riding on the wall, no one can step up it. !

Originally there was still a gap to attack, but now the Great Wall is connected into one piece, the rock-like city wall is daunting. The enemy is under the wall, and the Qin army is on the city. Shooting directly with the Qin crossbow, what a joy!

Without losing a single soldier, they won a big victory. The Huns were so angry that they vomited blood!

However, those in other countries were not so lucky. The Yan Kingdom fought a defensive battle to stop Donghu's attack.

And the Yue clan in Zhao State is not a fuel-efficient "Deng". Fortunately, Zhao Guo has generals like Lian Po and Li Mu, who can't help but fight back the Yue clan who committed crimes in the future, and seized a lot of Yue clan's cattle, sheep and horses. Zhao Guo eased the domestic pressure.

Anyway, wars are raging all over the country. Those who can bear the pressure keep their land, and those who can't bear the pressure can only cede the land. The refugees from all over the country come straight to Qin. Now no matter how they look at Qin, Qin is now their only one. way out!

So Yingzheng took advantage of the chaos and robbed people to settle the refugees from various countries. The countries may have discovered that the population of their own countries has passed, and they sent envoys to Qin State one by one, asking Qin State to be optimistic about their own gates. All the people were sent to the territory of Qin State.

At this time, the weather was already snowing, and many people didn't move around very much. Li Jiyang was very angry when he heard the request from the envoy of Chu State, and he sarcastically said: "If it is not really hard to survive, who would take the risk? Do you have to go far away in the severe cold?"

The envoy of Chu State choked: "After all, it is the people of other countries..."

"When you arrive in Qin, you will be the people of Qin." Li Jiyang said righteously: "If you have the ability, you keep the population yourself, don't let them run away from home!"

Chu State Envoy: "...!"

It was Guo Kai who was the envoy of Zhao State. He felt that he had a good relationship with Li Jiyang. He stood up second in the main hall, but he didn’t say anything excessive. He just greeted the Lord Qin on behalf of the Lord of Zhao State, and then offered some gifts. Express respect for Qin State Yunyun.

Never mentioned anything about politics, such as population loss, victims fleeing famine, etc., not a single word was mentioned!

The Chu State envoy winked at Guo Kai, but Guo Kai turned a blind eye, and Han Fei suddenly said, "Chu State Envoy, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Chu State Envoy: "...!"

"Maybe it's a cramp?" Gan Jing replied from the side: "Otherwise, why do you keep blinking at people?"

The envoy of the State of Chu looked at Guo Kai, Guo Kai smiled at Li Jiyang, and he was almost groveling, so he said sullenly, "...it's... a cramp..."

After the next dynasty, the envoys of the Chu State asked to see the Queen Mother Huayang, and Ying Zheng agreed. When the government hall was held, everyone laughed, and everyone was full of spirits. Qin finally felt proud!

When Li Jiyang came back after having a delicious dinner with Ying Zheng in Qin Palace, Steward Li Fu told him, "Master Guo Kaiguo, the envoy of the State of Zhao, has been waiting for you for a day, and he just left."

Li Jiyang: "...!"
