On 18 June, the procession abandoned its horses and took a boat in Hangzhou, and hundreds of large ships carrying Qin Shi Huang and his entourage set sail from under Baoshan to the east of Zhejiang.

But on the day of entering Zhejiang, the weather suddenly changed, the storm rolled and the waves rolled, the rolling tide poured down the Qiantang River from the estuary, the fleet shook and shook in the tide several meters high, and under the impact of a wave of high waves, several accompanying wooden boats were subverted, but there were many people on both sides of the strait who were sending off, and a large number of fishermen hurriedly drove the boat to rescue, so that the casualties were not too large.

Because of the wind and waves, Qin Shi Huang did not go to sea smoothly this time, so he could only move slowly close to the shore, and it took a full day and a night for the fleet to make it out of Zhejiang and enter the sea.

But the Great Qin people, who live in the bitter cold land of the northwest, how do they know the temper of the summer sea.

At this time, it was summer, the southeast wind prevailed, and the tropical storm was also coming, on the day of going to sea, Qin Shi Huang was hit by a tropical storm, and just out of Qiantang Bay, several accompanying large ships capsized in the wind and waves, and hundreds of people died in the forbidden army and accompanying attendants.

"Your Majesty, the storm is treacherous, and you can't move forward in the sea, so the ministers ask Your Majesty to come ashore and ride a chariot and horse!"

After holding out for two days, the ministers who accompanied them could no longer hold on, and knelt down together to beg Qin Shi Huang to get off the boat.

The big boat more than ten zhang long is like a floating boat in the sea, shaking violently with the undulating waves of several zhang high, whether it is Li Si, Zhao Gao, Mengyi, these landlubber civil officials, or Wang Ben and Xuanwuwei, who are accustomed to fighting on horseback, except for the fishermen who operate the boat, all of them vomit with pale faces, soft hands and weak feet, and half their lives are almost gone.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, this eastern tour will inevitably be difficult and dangerous all the way, and the storms and sinister thunderstorms are all the power of the wrath of the gods who go against the will of heaven......"

The image of Chen Xu's eloquent speech once again emerged from Qin Shi Huang's mind without the slightest hindrance.

"Could it be that I am really a mortal? There is no hope of immortality in this life......"

Qin Shi Huang's heart was churning and undulating like the waves, looking at the raging sea with the wind roaring and the waves rolling, his face became deeper and darker, and his mood became more and more depressed, and he slowly remembered one thing, that is, even if what those Fang family warlocks in the East China Sea said was true, there were indeed three sacred mountains in the sea, but in terms of the waves and weather in front of him, I am afraid that no one could find it, and now it is still on the coast, if you want to go deep into the vast sea for thousands of miles and tens of thousands of miles, how many big ships do you need to send to succeed, and thousands of ships are still ...... 10,000 ......?

What's more, even if you find it, in the tens of thousands of miles of turbulent sea, how can you discern the direction and come back? Even if I can come back, it will take ten years...... Or is it...... Century......?

"Docking~" After a short silence, Qin Shi Huang issued an order to dock.

This is the second order he has issued since his tour of the southeast that goes against his original intentions.

The first time was on Jun Mountain.

The second time was in the East China Sea.

And just when Qin Shi Huang abandoned the boat and went ashore and replaced it with a folk man to drive the chariots and horses that followed, the summer grain harvest in the land of China had also begun one after another.

Qinghe Town has been very lively in recent days.

Because last year, the new planting method of deep ploughing and manure, strip sowing and ridge was adopted, the soil fertility increased, but the weeds were less than half, plus the weeding on weekdays, there are almost no traces of weeds in the wheat field today, and as in previous years, the situation that the weeds are more than wheat is not half a point, and now on the river beach on both sides of the Xiaoqing River, what you see is a golden wheat wave, the wheat ears are thick, and the grains are full.

Accompanied by the acting Lidian Niu Dashi, You Gu Liu Bo, Sanlao and several pavilion chiefs, Chen Xu carefully inspected the wheat fields to be harvested on the river beach, and finally called more than ten households selected by himself.

These more than 10 households were arranged when the winter wheat was planted last year, and the wheat seeds they planted were specially screened from the grain depot with large and full grains, and a total of nearly 500 acres were planted, and the manpower was specially arranged to help when mantilizing and cultivating, through today's observation, this batch of specially screened varieties plus intensive cultivation of planting, the effect is very good, the ears of wheat are much larger than ordinary wheat seeds, and the average number of grains in each ear of wheat is about eight more grains, and the grains are also fuller.

This result is naturally surprising, Chen Xu saw the wheat of ordinary slash-and-burn cultivation last year, and the grains per ear were about fourteen, but these screened seeds were actually half more, so according to this judgment, even if there is no fertilizer and other auxiliary means, the yield per mu of these experimental fields can reach at least two stones or more.

In addition, there are almost no weeds in the field this year, and with sufficient fertilizer, the wheat stalks are much thicker than in previous years, and the dense wheat is all wheat, and the density has tripled compared to previous years.

That is to say, the yield of these improved seed experimental fields is at least six stone or more, as for other wheat fields that are also intensively cultivated, the average number of wheat ears and grains is six more grains, and the planting density is the same, so that there is at least four stone of higher yield, and even the field with sufficient fertilizer reaches five stones, which is normal, and this yield has fully met the expected target of last year's publicity.

And this condition of the wheat field has already been discovered as early as when the wheat ears are flowering, not only Qinghe Town, according to Niu Dashi and a few pavilion chiefs went down to inspect and come back to feedback, the situation of the subordinate eleven villages is similar, mandatory deep ploughing and fertilizer, this year's yield per mu is basically in the output of four or five stones, so after entering the summer, the entire Qinghe Town is filled with an extremely joyful harvest atmosphere.

Today's weather is fine, and it is the day of the selected summer grain harvest and the opening of the sickle.

Every house has a new meniscus scythe, and every thresher has been redesigned and repaired, and most of the threshers have been replaced with iron live rings and handles to make it easier and smoother to shake.

"Your wheat needs to be harvested well, and the grains must be returned to the warehouse, and all the harvested wheat must be handed over to the grain depot for storage after drying, so as to be used as a good seed for this year's winter planting, how much you turn in, the grain depot will make up for you, and I will compensate five yuan for each stone of wheat separately, as a reward for you......

"Adults can't, these good seeds were originally screened out of the town's grain depot, and you have arranged additional manpower to help with fertilizer cultivation, and we haven't made much effort, we have earned one stone for another, and if you still pay for it, we can't ask for it!"

Before Chen Xu's words were finished, more than a dozen villagers resigned almost at the same time, and their attitudes were very resolute.

"Don't use excuses, I also want everyone in Qinghe Town to know that only by farming well can you get rich, and if you are lazy, you deserve to be poor and suffer, you people are recognized as hard-working families in our town, so this money is well deserved, not to mention that with the batch of wheat you planted this year as a good seed, ...... next year"

"Lidian Lidian~~" A few half-sized children rushed along the river embankment from a distance, and ran to Chen Xu excitedly in the next installment: "Quick, go quickly, Lord County Shou is coming...... Here it ......."

"Jiangbei Pavilion? What is he doing here? Chen Xu was stunned.

Jiangbei Ting's promotion to Nanyang County Guard Chen Xu knew about it soon after he returned home, except that he could only roll his eyes except that he had a good life, he became a high-ranking official in less than a year after becoming the county magistrate, and this rocket-like promotion speed was unprecedented.

"Everyone will come with me to greet Lord Gunden, and just report to him about our harvest!"

Chen Xu led a group of people from Qinghe Town to the head of the village to greet the Jiangbei Pavilion who was going to inspect next.

The identity and status of the county guard are naturally not the same level and level as the county order.

I still remember that at the beginning, the county order car of the county government of Pheasant County was an extremely old horse-drawn carriage, and the squeaking sound when walking could make people's teeth sour.

But at present, the car of Jiangbei Pavilion is a two-horse-drawn luxury carriage, bronze wheels and axles, elm wheels, oak frames, seats and railings made of red sandalwood, and various decorations and patterns are carved on it, which is completely a Rolls-Royce in a carriage, full of stability and luxury.

And the carriage is left and right, and there are nearly 100 tigers and bears on their backs and guards holding halberds and swords, all of whom are riding horses, followed by several carriages, on which are the officials of the county guard's office, and finally more than a dozen flag-bearers on horseback, holding various flags and hunting in the wind, looking full of momentum.

And next to the carriage of Jiangbei Pavilion, there was also a little lady wearing a light blue silk dress with a sword hanging on her waist and beautiful eyebrows, still riding the jujube red horse as always, and it was Jiang Chuyue, a barbaric girl who had not been seen for more than half a year.

"Chen Xu has seen Lord County Guard!" Chen Xu waited for the carriage to stop and then greeted him and saluted, followed by Niu Dashi and Liu Po and a large group of people all clamoring to salute.

"Virtuous nephews are exempt!" Jiang Beiting happily got out of the car, then turned to his daughter sitting on horseback and said, "Come down and say hello to Chen Xu!" ”

Jiang Chuyue obediently jumped off the horse and walked in front of Chen Xu to salute: "Jiang Chuyue has seen Chen Langjun!" ”

Uh~, the sudden saucy ......, this little girl's politeness almost flashed Chen Xu's waist, and hurriedly said hello, and at the same time her eyes fell on Jiang Chuyue, and found that she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, this girl had grown a lot taller, almost as tall as herself, and she seemed to be much more beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes still had some pretty looks like normal women, especially her breasts were a lot bigger, plus the light and close-fitting silk, showing her bumpy figure in the wind, and she looked a little slim.

After Jiang Chuyue saluted, she retreated to the side, her expression was very indifferent, and she didn't seem to see any emotion on her face.

Hey, isn't this little girl with a bad head? How could it be this expression?

Chen Xu was very puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it, because this girl is not his own dish, so there is no need to worry so much about other people's wives.
