Chapter 127: A private visit to Weifu
The convoy of the First Emperor's parade has been starting from Xianyang for 15 days, starting from Xianyang, passing through the Sanqin region, passing through the customs, and now it has arrived in Yingchuan County. Everywhere the convoy goes, it is bound to be crowded with people, and they greet each other on the road.
The king's heart is like the sea, and no one knows whether the first emperor took the opportunity to tour the world to seal Mount Tai, or to tour the world by means of the origin of Mount Tai.
This is already the second parade after the first emperor unified the six kingdoms. In the history of previous lives, this kind of procession was carried out a total of five times in the life of the First Emperor.
In the history of previous lives, whenever the parade of the First Emperor was mentioned, it was all accompanied by accusations and criticisms. What is the extreme desire for poverty and luxury, and what is the cost of labor and money......
But when you are in this era and experience all this yourself, when you think of the records in the historical classics of your previous life, you will really feel what is shrimp, what is, and what is shrimp and eggs.......
History is always written by the victors, and the pen that writes history is also in the hands of the victors. There must be no backbone historians, but there is always no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the prison.
This should be the first emperor's second tour of the world, a few years ago the first emperor toured the world, walked the three Qin, passed the customs, and re-walked the Great Qin from the establishment of Longxi to the foundation of the world before the unification of the world. That is the root of the old Qin people, that is the foundation of the remnants of the Great Qin Fen VI, and the foundation that swept the world.
Li Chen knew in his heart that the First Emperor's parade had nothing to do with pleasure, but had a strong political purpose.
If nothing else, let's just say that Daqin's road, although it is quite smooth, it can only be regarded as smooth. The wooden wheels on this dirt road are literally jolting people apart.
If the first emperor really wanted to have fun, he built a swimming pool in the Afang Palace, arranged the time reasonably, called more than 20 concubines, and exercised together, wouldn't it be beautiful......
This tour, according to the plan of the First Emperor, was to visit the old land of the Six Kingdoms. The destination of this trip is Mount Tai, passing through Korea and Wei, and returning to Xianyang, passing through Qi and Chu. The first emperor's trip, whether it was a parade or a meditation seal, was in the final analysis for the purpose of building momentum for the implementation of the new law. The biggest obstacle to the implementation of the new law is the nobles and families, and the bereaved families of the Six Nations will naturally not let go of this opportunity to stir up the situation. The purpose of this parade was to suppress the old land of the Six Nations.
A round of red sun poked its head out of the mountainside in the east, hanging lazily in the sky, looking weak. In front of the sun, there were two clouds that had not yet dissipated, like two tired dark circles under the eyes.
These days, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, making people's hearts restless.
This official road is built along the mountain, and it must have been some years old. There must be very few people passing by here on weekdays, but now the entire official road is overgrown with weeds.
"Wang Li, where are you?" Li Chen poked his head out of the carriage and asked Wang Li on the wheel.
"Brother, I've arrived in Yingchuan County, and in front of me is Xu County." Wang Li said listlessly.
It didn't take long for the convoy to seem to have arrived in the territory of Xu County. On both sides of the official road, many farmers have already begun to work, and ploughing at sunrise seems to be the mainstream of this era. Most people in Daqin still seem to live on two meals a day, and simple farmers don't seem to waste a single drop of excess grain, even if it goes into their belly. If the strength of two meals a day can meet the labor, then it must not be three meals a day.
However, the two meals a day are not rich. It's just porridge made from some corn kernels, and some nests made of mashed potatoes.
These farmers looked at the vast convoy and guessed that it was the nobles of the family who had come to this poor countryside in Xu County. Poverty limits their imagination, and they can't think of it, and they don't dare to think that this is the frame of the First Emperor.
Unbeknownst to them, the convoy that had just entered the city had already left three people behind.
"Your Majesty, it's really not safe for us to do this." Watching the convoy in front of him go farther and farther, Li Chen was still persuading the First Emperor bitterly.
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of." The First Emperor glared at Li Chen and said angrily.
"I'm not afraid of being alone, but I'm afraid of being with you." Li Chen thought so.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Ying Yue looked at Li Chen and said with a serious face.
"Hey." Li Chen sighed, he knew that he couldn't change the mind of the first emperor, so he could only hope that Zhang Liang's vicious dog didn't follow.
After waiting for a long time and not being able to see the convoy in front of them at all, Li Chen and the three walked out from not far away. The First Emperor had already changed out of his dragon robe and was wearing a black brocade robe.
"Uncle, can you ask for directions?" The First Emperor stood on the side of the road and shouted to the old man who was working.
The old farmer, who was working, heard someone beckoning him, hurriedly dropped the hoe in his hand, walked over and asked, "Stranger, where are you going?" ”
"We're going to Yangzhai County, the capital of South Korea." The First Emperor asked.
Obviously, the First Emperor's questioning was intentional. This Yeongcheon County is the old land of Korea, and Yeongcheon has been a large county since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If you talk about prosperity, it can only be regarded as decent, not rich, but the population here is the most populous except for the imperial capital Xianyang.
When the first emperor asked like this, he was testing whether the people of Han were now in their hearts to Han or Qin.
"I don't know the old farmers in Yangzhai County in South Korea, but I know Yangzhai County in Yingchuan County in Daqin." The old peasant looked at the First Emperor and said.
"It's my slip of the tongue, may I ask the old man how to get to Yangzhai County in Daqin." The First Emperor asked.
"We are here in Xu County, you have been walking along the official road, and the county seat in front of you is Yangzhai." The old man made a move and pointed in the direction where the convoy had just traveled.
"Thank you, uncle." The First Emperor arched his hand and said.
"You look at your clothes, you must be a Korean nobleman."
"The old farmer just showed the way, and he didn't want to say more. But I still want to persuade you, now that there is no South Korea, what Koreans, Chu people are all the people of Daqin. We people are living very well now, you look at this corn, this potato. This is all given to us by Daqin, and our people can only eat a full meal in Daqin. You people should be much better off than our people, so why stir up the storm. The old peasant sat on the ground and persuaded him bitterly. Obviously, he regarded the three first emperors as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
"Uncle thinks it's better now than in the past." The First Emperor asked seriously, this was a very important answer for him, although he had heard this answer from the mouths of civil and military officials, but today was the first time he had listened to the voice of the bottom.
"That's, it's not just good, it's so much better."
"What kind of days did I eat when I was hungry, I ate dry when I was busy, and I ate thin when I was free. But now, if there is one in our village, if it weren't for the lazy and disabled, everyone would be able to support themselves and have a full meal. If you are diligent and have enough to eat, you can still have a lot of surplus food at home, and I won't tell you, don't look at the old man, I am over 50, and this year I have added two uncles to my seven-year-old grandson. ”
"This old land is fertile for one reason, mainly because it is raised, and it is willful." The old man said here.
The first emperor listened to the old man's self-report, and there was a trace of benefit on his face, obviously this was the purpose of his private visit to Weifu.
Listen to the voices of the bottom.
