"By the way, did my father-in-law ask Marquis Jingwu, what is the inside story of the enamel equipment of the Western Army?" One thing, Chen Xu changed the topic and continued.

"Well, the old man has received a reply from his brother in this matter, but the elder brother is also very surprised, he has arranged for the guards and supervisors to go to the Western Regions military camp to investigate, and it will be at least three months before he gets the exact news, so if he wants to deal with it, he will have to wait at least until the autumn or even the winter, and the old man has also heard that His Majesty has plans to tour Yan Zhao, if I go with us, the government affairs of the court will be put on hold......" Meng Yi replied with a slight frown.

"Your Majesty is going to parade again?" Chen Xu's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"The old man has only heard from the Marquis of Cheng once, but it seems that the emperor is still hesitating!"

"Uncle Yue, the emperor's parade is something that my son-in-law thinks can be stopped......

"Why? The whole world is not the king's land, and the Son of Heaven parades once every five years, which is the old practice of the Zhou Dynasty! Meng Yi was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty is now close to the year of the Mandate of Heaven, the health is not very good, going out to work and run around, a few months down without illness to toss out of illness, not to mention thousands of people escorted, civil and military officials accompanied, chariots and horses stretched for more than ten miles, almost all the people's livelihood everywhere they went to stagnation, the consumption of countless grains and grasses along the way, too much labor and loss of money, not to mention, occupy the road leads to poor business travel, and even beware of bandits, so the son-in-law thinks that the parade is meaningless, what His Majesty wants is nothing more than the stability of the country and the awe of the subjects, And all the people of the world want is to live a stable life, food and clothing, and every time Your Majesty travels, the places you pass through will be turbulent for a long time before they can be quiet, which is really more than worth the loss, not to mention that every time you travel, your father-in-law and many officials have to go together, don't you feel too tired......"

"Traveling with Your Majesty is the highest honor, why bother, you are lazy and don't want to go!" Meng Yi glanced at Chen Xu with a twitch.

"Yes, I really don't want to go, I can't eat or sleep well on ......the road," Chen Xu admitted honestly.

"It's true that it doesn't make much sense to work the people and lose money, but this matter can only be said by His Majesty, how can I, as a courtier, make decisions for Your Majesty, so if I want to stop you from saying it yourself, the old man will definitely not speak!"

Meng Yi lowered his head and drank tea, not wanting to be Chen Xu's pawn for no reason, because it would not benefit him at all if he said it, and it would even attract some people to criticize him.

Chen Xu was helpless against himself, an old man who had no benefit and did not take the lead, so he nodded indifferently and said: "That's it, the son-in-law will go to find out His Majesty's tone another day, if there is really such a thing, he will definitely dissuade him, and he will not work for his father-in-law!" ”

Regarding the fact that the First Emperor had to go out on a tour at every turn, Chen Xu also had a toothache.

However, it has been more than four years since the last cruise, and it is not too much according to Zhou Tianzi's practice of touring the world once every five years.

And these four years or so are also the period of the greatest change and the most rapid development of the whole Great Qin, basically the same every year, not only the civil changes are great, but also the court has changed greatly, Li Si, Wang Qian, Wang Ben and a number of pioneers of the Great Qin have died one after another, and Chen Xu finally took a step to the top and began his drastic reforms.

Nowadays, Daqin, especially Xianyang, has prospered to the point of dazzling, if people who have come to Xianyang five years ago now, they will definitely feel that they have entered a completely different strange city, several streets running through the city are not only all rebuilt into wide and flat cement roads, many of the original low houses on both sides of the street are all being rebuilt, a two-story and three-story cement buildings are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and the repaired houses are also hung with various signboards of commercial houses, placing a dazzling array of goods.

Outside the city, not only is there a hospital covering an area of 200 acres on the south bank of the Wei River being built, the foundation of the five-story outpatient and inpatient department building has been laid, and near the experimental factory of the Academy of Sciences ten miles away from the east gate of Xianyang City, a large area of buildings of varying heights is rising from the ground, which is the new office space of the Academy of Sciences and the staff residential building of the experimental factory, and several high-rise buildings are also being built near the College of Literature and the printing house a few miles away from the west gate, including both unit buildings and office buildings. The office buildings and residential buildings of the same Faculty of Arts and the Newspaper Publishing House were designed and built by craftsmen and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, and Chen Xu only did a simple guide and review.

With the vigorous development of commerce and the circulation of a large number of coins, wealth has been rapidly accumulated among the people, and the infrastructure and living environment have also been rapidly improved.

Therefore, the great changes in Xianyang also stimulated Qin Shi Huang, after conquering Baiyue in Lingnan last winter, Qin Shi Huang wanted to tour the world again to see how much his empire has changed in recent years, and at the same time to promote his prestige and governing philosophy to the people of the world, so as to achieve the purpose of making all the people in the world submit to admiration, but the health has not been very good, so it did not take place, and this year it seems that the time is ripe in his opinion.

As for the emperor's parade, according to the usual practice, Chen Xu and Meng Yi will definitely follow, and Feng Quji will still stay in Xianyang to sit in the court and preside over government affairs, so even if Chen Xu doesn't want to go, he can't.

Go out to play, but you must not accompany the emperor to go out to play, because it is not to play at all, but to promote Weide, not to mention the labor and wealth of the people and money, not to mention the bad food and sleep and bad fun, and it is more tiring than the group in later generations.

Although Chen Xu also wanted to go to Yanzhao and other places for a long time to appreciate the true appearance of the Great Wall and see the majestic momentum and scenery of the Great Wall at the border, he couldn't follow the tour group of the First Emperor, so he decided to have time to travel by car, which was really refreshing.

After chatting with Meng Yi for a short time, Meng Yun came back with the servant, and after getting the report from the servant, Chen Xu and Meng Yi went to the stable together.

Looking at the two baskets of emerald green and fresh carrots placed on the ground, Chen Xu's face instantly turned black and his eyes couldn't be seen.

"Hehe, the carrots planted by my sister-in-law Houfu are big and sweet, and they are very delicious when eaten raw, so I pulled a few more!" Looking at Chen Xu's dark face, Meng Yun smiled.

"You don't know how many are they? The carrots in my house are about to be plucked, right? Chen Xu gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.

"Why, you don't want to eat a few carrots of yours?" Meng Yi stood beside him with a rogue look and helped his son.

"That's it, sister-in-law, don't be too stingy, this horse is a horse, running fast and steady, but it's really too edible, it's completely a rice bucket, you have to eat seven or eight buckets of essence for a meal, and you can't afford to raise the forage for small households!" Meng Yun hurriedly began to complain.

"If you don't want to raise it, forget it, I'll bring it back in a while, a few days ago, the commander of the military department was still asking me if I could sell him a horse......"

"Don't, sister-in-law is angry, don't buy this horse, I'll raise it, raise it well!" Meng Yun was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged Chen Xu's arm to admit his mistake.

"You said it yourself, did you plant the carrot seeds you sent last time?" Chen Xu knocked down Meng Yun's hand and asked.

"It's planted, but it's just sprouted, and it won't take until at least July and August for the carrots to grow up, and this sweaty BMW loves to eat carrots very much, so I'll pull out more today, and I'll let people plant them in the soil first to let the big gold teeth eat slowly!"

Big Gold Tooth!

Chen Xu's face twitched violently a few times, looking at the golden horse that was munching on carrots in the stable, and felt that this sweaty BMW had been ruined by this name.

When I came out of the Mongolian Mansion, it was already the end of the Shen period.

Meng Yi and Meng Yun sent Chen Xu and Meng Wan to the door with their children, Chen Xu said goodbye to Meng Yi's family with a slightly drunken feeling, and at this time, Meng Yi was almost unable to stand, and his face was flushed and lying on the shoulders of the two concubines and he was still burping.

"What's the matter, is the fourth princess really pregnant?" After the carriage left the Meng Mansion, Chen Xu asked Meng Wan with a smile.

"My sister-in-law is indeed pregnant, and my mother is afraid that her brother will not take good care of her, so she let the two move back to live!" Meng Wan hugged her daughter and sat next to her and nodded.

"I hope my uncle will really be able to restrain himself in the future!" Chen Xu looked back at the Mengfu that was getting farther and farther away with emotion.

"It's really much better, my sister-in-law is still praising my brother, now I go on and off on time every day, and I return home on time at night, and I rarely go out to play all day long!"

"That's good, it seems that the last time the horse was tamed, my uncle did wake up, hehe, that fall is not wronged!" Chen Xu held Meng Wan's hand and smiled dryly.

"I also heard my sister-in-law say that my father wants my brother to go to other places to be a county commander, but my brother plans to enlist in the army and go to the Western Army camp to earn merit, my sister-in-law cried for a long time, begging me to persuade my brother not to go to the army!" Meng Wan leaned on Chen Xu's arms worriedly and said.

"This matter is still let my uncle make his own decision, being an official in the country will certainly be safe and sound, but according to my uncle's character, I am afraid that I can't last too long, although it is difficult and dangerous to join the army, but the future is unlimited, maybe three or five years can be crowned marquis and worship generals, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger, without enough danger and pay, it is impossible to have sufficient returns, in fact, I support my uncle's idea!" Chen Xu shook his head slightly and said.

"But once you enlist in the army, you may not be able to return home for two or three years, what should my sister-in-law do? The last time my husband cruised with His Majesty for several months, we were all at home in a panic all day, for fear that my husband would not eat or sleep well on the road or be in danger......"

Chen Xu tightly hugged Meng Wan and her daughter in his arms and said with emotion: "That's true, I'm always worried about my family outside, but this is a magnificent era, and it takes many courageous people to keep forging ahead, so that my Daqin can be more prosperous and strong, children are long, heroes are short-lived, if everyone just wants to be content with pleasure, then who will protect Daqin......"

"Those soldiers who are far away from their homeland are still old and young, they are starving and fighting with barbarians in the wilderness, many people have shed blood on the battlefield and thrown their corpses in the wilderness, and even their souls can't return to their hometowns, but it is with these soldiers who don't care about life and death, we can now enjoy this kind of tranquility and happiness, although the princes and princes are noble, but most of them are also called by their own merits, some people's deaths are lighter than the feathers, but some people's deaths are as heavy as Mount Tai, good men should be ambitious in all directions, when they open up their territories, when they conquer the world, when they are proud of the sky, When the name of Great Qin is honored, not by virtue of his noble status, he hides in his comfort nest and does nothing......"

Chen Xu was a little inexplicably moved by what he said, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
