Emperor Qin

Chapter 21 Preparation

The spring breeze in March blows all over the land, the last ray of spring cold recedes, and all things sprout. Edible wild vegetables are everywhere in the roadside and river.

Just after dawn, Nymphaeum went out with a braided straw bag. Together with her son, facing the twilight of the morning sun, they walked down the mountain city and onto the river beach on a slope that was wide enough to accommodate cars and horses.

Master Yan arranged for these roads to be opened. A lot of cave soil was dug out these days to fill these roads. The loess was solidified by the bullock carts and trees back and forth, and the gravel dragged from the river beach was paved with gravel. Take it easy up the hill.

There are large areas of newly reclaimed fields by the river. During the reclamation, shallow ditches were left around many of the fields. Mr. Yan asked someone to build a Yuzui mouth upstream to channel the river water into the ditches. The amount of water was not much. He said he was just trying We can't use a small water conservancy to irrigate, saying that there is a big difference in water level here, leading a big canal to pass through the field, and the rest of the canals are led to self-repair, they are all tempted to say that they can't do it.

Walking to the cowshed by the river, Xuncai handed over the inspection pass to the cow officer, and said with a smile that he was here to pick up the cow.

The official Qin, who was in charge of the cow, checked his biography carefully, and then went back to the thick paper to look through it carefully, and finally found her name, and said calmly: "Follow me."

He walked into the cowshed with the mother and son of Ningcai, selected a thin yellow cow, and handed her the rope: "Check carefully, and if there is no problem, I will return it at night."

Xingcai nodded vigorously to thank the officials, lowered his head and inspected the cattle carefully from head to tail, not letting the teeth, mouth and hooves go unnoticed, making sure that there is no damage, finally he was relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "There is no problem, thank you, Shangguan. "

The group she was in was "Nineteen Miles". Lord Yan divided them into hundreds of groups. Everyone can rent cattle and farm tools with coins or tokens exchanged for digging soil. They have to come early every day to return the cattle and horses. You can't borrow any more in January, and now it's the season of spring plowing. Everyone regards these as treasures and dare not slack off in the slightest.

Together with their son, they put the plow on the back of the ox, and the mother and son brought the ox to a field they had reclaimed with excitement. This ox nose ring was invented by Mr. Yan. Niu, it really couldn't be more powerful.

Nowadays, the immigrants in Tunliu are all very pious that Master Yan is a god descended from the gods, saving the suffering and suffering. Every time they see him, they will kneel down and kowtow to ask for protection.

The land they reclaimed is measured in terms of acres. The terrain is long and thin, with two steps in width and 240 steps in length. They picked them up and carried them on their backs, filled the ridges of the field, put the grown seeds in wooden boxes on the plow, and sprinkled them evenly into the land as the ox plowed. One person led the ox and the other held the plow. In less than an hour, the whole field was plowed. Acres of land, for a moment, both mother and son were a little stunned.

The normal process should not be to dig shallow pits, put down the seeds one by one, step on the pits one by one, and then water one by one. Since when is it so easy to sow seeds?

"Mother is finishing plowing soon, we will return the cattle earlier, and there will still be some rent money left." The dog excitedly tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes.

"That's right." The mother and son continued to plow the next acre of land regardless of the fatigue.

At this time, the dog suddenly sharpened his eyes, saw a familiar figure among the reeds by the river, and shouted: "Master Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Jiang rolled his sleeves and squatted by the river. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and smiled, and said naturally, "I'm washing my leather."

The dog looked at it curiously, and exclaimed: "You are actually washing tiger skins."

Wow, that tiger's back is so broad, and that tiger's head is round. Although its eyes are closed, it still looks alive. It feels like its ears are still shaking.

Yan Jiang nodded, and said casually: "Yes, go and do it yourself."

The dog nodded vigorously, kowtowed and thanked the adults, and then went back to his mother to help - he can count to fifty, and he can also add and subtract twenty digits, which is useful in many jobs and earns a lot of money. With less coins, you can afford to rent cattle.

Yan Jiang tried to stop these servants, but they never listened, so they let them go. They just lowered their heads and rubbed their chins carefully for the "tiger skin".

In the distance, an otter popped its head out of the reed, looked at it curiously, and looked very cute. Yan Jiang was moved for a moment, and skillfully took out a small piece of fresh meat from the package, put it on a large reed leaf, and floated along the water .

The otter carefully swam over and tried the reed leaves, but finally couldn't hold back the temptation. He took them up with his little paws, and then retracted into the reeds. He propped his head up, gnawed on the fresh meat, and at the same time observed secretly with his small black bean-like eyes. .

Yan Jiang was about to give another piece of meat, when Hua Hua let out a low growl of dissatisfaction, she stretched out her claws and hooked him under her body, licked him vigorously, protesting the half-heartedness of the master, one person and one tiger were playing and playing with the water for a long time .

"Huahua, I have almost arranged the things here. I am going to Yongdu again. Thank you for your hard work." Yan Jiang played with it for a while, then floated into the reeds, cleaned the gap between its paws, and gave it another He cleaned his ears with fine linen, and the tiger straightened up comfortably.

Huahua whimpered and turned her head in his arms.

Yan Jiang sighed, he waited for almost ten days, and asked repeatedly, Li Chongcai responded to him and said that the king of Qin had personally ordered the batch of cows and horses to be handed over to Yongdu for sacrifice to heaven, so you just wait and don't think too much.

But is he someone who can deal with it casually?

It’s just looking for King Qin, what’s the big deal... Thinking that the pill has not yet been refined, this time I went to Yongdu to find King Qin. His Majesty flew around in order not to hear people talking about him taking the tiger, otherwise it would be another family battle.

It is now March, King Qin will be in charge in April, and there are still various preparations in Yongdu that must be arranged in advance, that is to say, he will leave in March, and now it is the past, just in time.

He masturbated Huahua for a while and let it leave by itself, then got up and went back to his room to change his clothes.

Afterwards, he called Chen Meng's family, several Qin officials, and agricultural officials, and explained the spring plowing matters that needed attention one by one, and then said that he would go out for a while.

Several subordinates are dissatisfied with something. In their opinion, what is more important than spring plowing?But I couldn't object, I just took the task list written by Yan Jiang and nodded.

After sending them away, Yan Jiang began to pack his things. Compared with the initial dragging of the family, after handing over the seeds, his belongings were much less, including field artifacts, weapons quiver, emergency rations, and a big bird .

The heaviest of these is the bird.

Yan Jiang picked up his leather pocket and found that His Majesty seemed to be getting heavier again, so he decided to find a horse.

……

When the moon came out, the owl woke up, and looked with satisfaction at the servants who were resting in the post with their big piercing eyes.

Yan Jiang slowly tore the chicken meat from Huahua, and fed it to the master one by one. The butter lamp seemed to be flickering, and the master narrowed his eyes slightly, with a comfortable expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, what I should give now has already served the motherland," Yan Jiang smiled slightly, plucking at his master's chin, and lazily leaning against the desk, "I figured out that farming is not suitable for me at all." , it's annoying."

All kinds of big and small things these days, all kinds of conflicts broke out frequently in the activities of tens of thousands of people, he had to make plans and be a judge, and occasionally had to be a veterinary magician. It was simply not a human life.

The master's eyes sharpened instantly, and his eating slowed down.

"This time we are going to Yongdu to see the pro-government, and we want to cheat the horses and cattle before we take the government," Yan Jiang thought, and said leisurely, "When the pro-government, Lao Ai will inevitably cause trouble, and Qin will be in chaos for at least a month, so we will take the opportunity Go down the Wei River, take a stroll around Xianyang, meet Lu Buwei who invested in the prince, and then go abroad along the Hangu Pass, and it's over..."

His Majesty had completely stopped eating and looked at him indifferently.

"This should be the last emperor we've ever seen. The people from the six countries over there are all local chickens and dogs, so it's not worth mentioning." He smiled and touched His Majesty, "Hey, these days are really exciting. What do you think we can use to lie to him?"

His Majesty looked at him indifferently for a while, then suddenly walked over to his bag, took out an ID card, threw it by the desk, and stepped on it with one paw.

"Take me?" Yan Jiang burst out laughing, with sharp eyebrows, hugged His Majesty, and said with a light smile, "That's right, he was thirsty for talent, and I heard that Wei Liao didn't want to be with him, so he ran away secretly, and he was repeatedly slapped on him." Catch it back and drive the duck to the shelves, tell me, can he catch me?"

Xianyang Palace

The young king got up from his deep sleep, but he didn't summon to change his clothes. Instead, he picked up a wheat ear beside his pillow, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled rarely.
