Chapter 20: The Wrath of the First Emperor
Lijiazhuang, Academy of Agricultural Sciences, wallhead
The big cow had two dark circles under his eyes, and he was obviously full of energy, squatting on the wall. Although the wall of the experimental field has been built, Da Niu is still not at ease. But when anyone looks at him twice, he is worried. These days, the big bull is looking at everyone like a thief.
"Brother Niu, didn't you sleep last night?" Liuzi looked at the big cow squatting on the wall like a gorilla.
"Well, this potato is almost ripe, I can't rest assured." Da Niu said.
Since he learned the yield of these crops, the big cow has served the seedlings in this field as if they were his own children, and he will keep an eye on them every day whenever he has free time, for fear that he will run away with long legs.
Three strokes in the sun, Li Chen woke up, he was a lazy man, he always was.
When I wake up, I brush my teeth and rinse my mouth with a toothbrush and toothpaste that have been swept out of the earth's space. For a weekly trip to the earth, the highest priority is naturally those epoch-making things, followed by the things that ensure Li Chen's basic life.
In this uncivilized dynasty, even Qin Shi Huang could only rinse his mouth with bamboo and salt, and this kind of primitive thing, Li Chen was not used to it.
Thinking of this, Li Chen seemed to have found some business opportunities. At this time, the inventor Meng Tian, who was delayed by the war, this man who was later called the "ancestor of the pen" had already invented the brush.
Taking out the juan cloth, Li Chen took out a small piece of charcoal and drew on it. The drawing is very simple, much like a brush, except that the brush of the brush is on the front, and the brush of this thing is on the side.
Written underneath the juan cloth is vegetable oil, refined salt, notoginseng, honeysuckle and other Chinese herbs.
"Liuzi, hand over this thing to the Dharma Academy, and let the craftsmen inside make it as soon as possible." Li Chen said.
"It's a gargling tool." The sixth son was very excited, and he guessed the purpose at a glance.
"Well, let's call it toothpaste and toothbrush for the time being, and it's another entry when it comes out." Li Chen said.
"Brother, the money in our treasury is almost full. What are we making so much money for? If it's just to marry an aunt, you can't use it even if you marry a ten-room and eight-room. Liuzi asked.
"I'm not interested in money, I never cared about money. Ever since I established Lijiazhuang, I have never spent money. These silvers were only handed over to us by the people of Daqin for safekeeping, and our ultimate goal is to let every Daqin people live a happy and happy life. Li Chen said.
Although Li Chen has not yet brought the entire Daqin into the road of happiness for the time being, the tenants of Lijiazhuang have already entered a well-off life.
It turns out that the people of Lijiazhuang rely on God to enjoy food, and every day is made at sunrise and rested at sunset. If you encounter some natural and man-made disasters, it is inevitable to go hungry. Since Li Chen came, not to mention the exemption of agricultural taxes, he would also hire farmers to do some chores from time to time. Two copper plates a day, although it is said that a month is not enough, except for agricultural work, it can also be done almost every month, and there are more than 34 copper plates.
This half-sized child eats Lao Tzu to death. In this era of Daqin, there are no entertainment programs. However, the law is strict, and the life of the people can be described as quite depressing, and the way to release the depression is to have children.
Each family of the Great Qin family has three or five children, although the Great Qin drove the Xiongnu in the north and the hundred Yue in the south, laying down the territory of Nuoda. This territory is larger, and the fields that are divided will naturally increase. There are many children, and it is not a problem to support them, but it is not possible to talk about eating and drinking enough. In contrast, the tenants of Lijiazhuang lived a much happier life. Not only can you eat and drink enough, but you can also eat meat once in a while and add new clothes.
At noon, Li Chen's lunch was very simple, a small flat meal.
Somehow, I've been a little flustered these days, and I haven't eaten much. Lying in the yard, the "creaking" sound from the rocking chair became more and more harsh.
Hetao, Qincheng
"General Meng, the Dayue people have withdrawn, and the Humi Department has also withdrawn, and all the pastures have been given up." The scout reported to Meng Tian.
"It seems that Princess Yue has succeeded, come here, order all the soldiers and horses to catch up with me. My Qincheng is not a kiln, I can come if I want, and I can leave if I want. Meng Tian commanded left and right.
The defeat is like a mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to use this word to describe the Otsuki clan. The retreat of the soldiers of the Kushan Empire has a little statute to talk about, and the Humi Department is mixed with herdsmen and sheep, which is not even a retreat, and it may be more appropriate to call it an escape.
At this time, the Qin army was only a strong foreign force, and the continuous defense of the city for two or three months consumed nearly half of the Qin army's fresh force. At this time, the Qin army was already exhausted.
First of all, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to pursue the Hugh Secret Department with the mouth of the family, first, the Hugh Secret Department has many people but the combat effectiveness is low, and you can get more slaves. Secondly, it can receive a large number of cattle, sheep and household assets carried by the Ministry of Hugh.
"Kill, kill, kill."
Under the command of Meng Tian, the Qin army first outflanked the Xiumi Department under the combat strength. The light cavalry flanked from both flanks, and the heavy cavalry drove in the middle. Just like driving tens of thousands of pigs and sheep, all those who fall behind will die under the iron cavalry of the Qin army. The Great Qin people were like beast hunters, and under the drive of the Great Qin Iron Horse, the Great Moon people of the Xiumi Department quickly became exhausted.
"All tied up, Your Majesty's Imperial Tomb is worried that there are no slaves. These tens of thousands of slaves are enough for a while. Under the command of a general, these tens of thousands of Dayue people were soon strung together by the Qin army with hemp rope and driven towards Qin City.
Three days later, Wang Li and Li Xin took the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry, and the carriage was tied to the royal family of Guishan.
"General Meng, Princess Yue is injured, quickly arrange someone to escort the princess back to Xianyang."
Meng Tian achieved the biggest victory since entering the Loop, and he was still happy. A big bad news came to my ears.
At this time, Meng Tian was a little stunned, he knew that no matter how great the credit was, I am afraid that in the eyes of the First Emperor, he would not be able to compare to Princess Yue. If something happens to the princess of the moon, she is afraid that she will not be able to eat and will leave.
Xianyang, Afang Palace
"Report, Princess Yue struck three thousand miles, crossed the Ili River, killed Qilian Mountain, the holy mountain of the Dayue Clan, and captured eighty-seven people from the Guishan royal family."
"Just ......"
"Smack." The bamboo slip smashed into his face, and the blood obscured the scout's eyes. He trembled, not daring to wipe it.
"Say it quickly." The First Emperor felt uneasy in his heart, and this feeling was very bad. This feeling of uncontrollability should not appear in the body of an emperor.
"When Princess Moon broke through the Kushan royal family, she was hit by a poisoned arrow. At this time, there were still three hundred miles away from Xianyang, and he was already unconscious. The scout stammered.
"Send him to the doctor's room to bandage."
"The Guishan royal family doesn't need to enter Xianyang, behead the sword, and expose the corpse for seven days."
"Inform Meng Tian that the first big month is ten thousand people. If something happens to Yue'er, I will kill 100,000 people in Dayue first, and then destroy his clan. There are five parts of the big moon, and no one is left behind. The First Emperor's indifferent voice contained endless murderous intent, and there were countless ministers crawling on the main hall. They didn't know that the fingers of this man they didn't dare to look at directly were trembling slightly.
