A few days later, in the morning, a group of cavalry escorted the carriage to the palace, and Yu Wenwen, who had 'recovered from his injuries', sat in the carriage, and at this time it had been six days since he fainted in the main hall.

Still got off at the stop door, walked through the end gate, and entered the palace from the gate of Chang Closed, of course, there were a few wooden boxes that came in with him, which contained gifts for the little emperor.

Although it is a clan, it is still necessary to accept inspection when bringing things into the palace, because the face saint is a schedule set a few days in advance, so there are already attendants waiting by the door, and things naturally do not need to be turned over one by one, and the generals of the gate guarding the army just open the box and check to confirm that there is nothing suspicious inside.

Taking this opportunity, Yu Wenwen, who was standing by the gate of Chang Shu, looked around again, this newly completed palace follows the foundation of the old Qi Imperial Palace, and even the layout is almost the same, and the addresses of several gates are basically the same as the original site.

Maybe it's to save time, maybe it's to save the design thought, according to others, the Great Zhou Palace and the Ancient Qi Palace are basically the same, and even the names of the main palaces are similar.

The Taiji Hall is naturally the main hall of all countries, and the layout of the car gate, the end gate, and the gate is set up in this way in successive dynasties of the capital Yecheng, Yuwenwen just thinks that it is really rare for the court to be so taboo.

It has only been six years since the death of the Qi State, and it is not a powerful minister who usurped the throne and then moved into the palace with his bag, just copy the style of the palace as it is, and the names of most of the palaces have not changed, how lazy is this!

Thinking of this, Yuwenwen couldn't help but think of another thing, according to the original historical trajectory, Yang Jian accepted the Zen concession to the Sui Dynasty after the Zhou, disgusted the original Chang'an City, the city at this time was the Han Chang'an City, after hundreds of years of war and dilapidated and small, so Yang Jian decided to build a new capital.

The new city is located in the southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, Longshouyuan, the new capital is called Daxing City, and it is also the predecessor of Chang'an City in the later Tang Dynasty and Xi'an City in later generations, but now the Sui State has not unified Jiangbei as before, so the construction of the new city has not been moved.

'The construction of a lot of construction works for the people and hurts money, and now it is an eventful time, so I think I came to the court to be as sympathetic to the people as possible. Yuwen Wen thought so, Chang'an, the original capital of the Zhou State, became the capital of the enemy country, and he could only build a palace in Yecheng, the capital of the former enemy country, and in order to save time and effort, he copied the original palace shape, which was about a helpless move.

After a delay in the gate, Yuwenwen entered the gate and continued to move forward, bypassing the Taiji Hall under the leadership of the inner attendant, passing through the Zhuhua Gate to the Zhaoyang Hall behind it, and the inner attendant first entered the palace to report, and then Yuwenwen entered the inner hall to see.

After following the usual visit, the little emperor Yuwen Qiankeng gave him a seat, and Yuwenwen sat down and 'reminisced' with the emperor.

"How is Xiyang Gong's injury?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked, Yuwen Wen fainted in the main hall that day, which really worried him.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen's injuries have healed, and now he can eat and sleep, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Xiyang Gong should not grieve excessively, my father and brother were also harmed by Yang Rebellion, every time I think of it, I can't help but feel like a knife, but I sigh every day but I am sad in vain"

"I read the history books, and I know that the king of Yue, Goujian, put his courage in sitting, sitting and lying on his back, eating and drinking gall, being angry and trying to be strong, ten years of childbirth, ten years of lessons, and finally able to destroy the state of Wu to take revenge."

"What Your Majesty said is very true, Weichen and the Duke of Qi Guo and the prince of the country are fighting hard in Shannan, stockpiling grain and preparing for war, in order to one day, cooperate with the imperial army to attack Yang Shun, and when they can attack Chang'an, it will be the day of revenge."

"I have heard that there are many miasma places in Shannan, during which there are countless Gu insects and poisonous snakes, and there are dense mountains, rivers and lakes, rivers and tidal flats, and it is not suitable for the people to reclaim farmland, I don't know if it is true?"

"Shannan Jing, Xiang, An, Jiangling and Huangzhou Governor's Mansion, the terrain is slightly different, and listen to Weichen one by one"

The little emperor has not been to Shannan, Yuwenwen incarnated as a tourism expert, explaining to him the customs and customs of Shannan, which is the main responsibility of his trip, talking with the Son of Heaven, saying some interesting topics to relieve his boredom and relieve his mood.

Shannan was Chu in ancient times, if according to Yugong Kyushu, today's Shannan boundary is the southwest part of ancient Yuzhou, the north of ancient Jingzhou; Shannan Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, which is located in the Nanyang Basin called by later generations, has been developed as early as the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, started here.

The Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion and Jiangling Governor's Mansion are also part of ancient Jingzhou, which were developed earlier and have a large number of fertile fields. The Anzhou Governor's Mansion is adjacent to the ancient Yunmeng Daze, and with the gradual shrinking of the area of Yunmengze, a large area of paddy fields has been reclaimed, and the number of people who have moved here is increasing day by day.

The Huangzhou Governor's Mansion is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, there are Xiyang Wushui, for hundreds of years, the government and Xiyang Man (Wushui Man) have been constantly competing, and now most of the barbarians outside the mountain have been naturalized into the people.

"The water network of the river can irrigate the farmland, but the rainy season is raging, so if you want to develop agriculture, you must first repair water conservancy, whether it is river embankments and ditches."

"Your Majesty asked, whether there are poisonous insects and beasts in Shannan, the minister has been in office in Bazhou for more than a year, and there are indeed Gu worms in this Jiangchu land, called schistosomiasis."

"Schistosomes!" Yuwen Qiankeng was shocked when he heard this, but he was surprised but vaguely expectant, that expression Yuwenwen was very familiar, just like most children, afraid of the unknown, and wanted to understand.

"Schistosomiasis, also known as water Gu, as the name suggests, lives by sucking the flesh and blood of humans and animals, this insect is born in water when it is young, once it is found when humans and animals enter the water, it immediately swarms up, burrows into the body from the pores, attaches to the internal organs, sucks sperm and blood and lays eggs in the body, ten lives in a lifetime, ten lives in a hundred"

"Humans and animals attached to schistosomes did not see any abnormalities at first, but then the worms multiplied in the body, and the humans and animals began to have fever, coughing and wheezing, chest pain, and then becoming thinner and thinner, with dull eyes, thin and weak limbs, and distended ascites, just like a pregnant woman, and the people called it bulging disease, Your Majesty knows why?"

"Why?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked, his face was a little pale, thinking that he had guessed the reason, but he was not sure.

"The patient was infested by schistosomiasis, his liver was enlarged, and the abdomen was densely packed with Gu worms"

"Ahh Yuwen Qiankeng was shocked when he heard this, and when he heard Yuwen Wen say this, the scene of a cluster of blood-red worms wriggling in a person's stomach appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.

"How's that okay? The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is criss-crossed, in case there are schistosomes everywhere, how should the people cultivate the fields? ”

"Your Majesty is worry-free, although schistosoma is pervasive, it has an Achilles heel." Yu Wenwen said, "When this insect is young, it has to live in a kind of snail in the water, and it cannot survive otherwise. ”

"This snail is like a long nail, so it is named a snail, and Weichen learned from an ancient fragment that the schistosion larvae must perch on the snail in order to survive, so if there is no snail where there is water, there must be no schistosome."

"So where there are snails, there are schistosomes?"

"Where there are snails, there may not be schistosomes, but where there are schistosomes, there must be snails." Yuwenwen replied, "Just in case, the minister ordered people to kill the snails everywhere, and the method used was to throw quicklime, which boiled when it met water and killed the snails." ”

Hearing that Yuwenwen said that the states of Shannan had begun to extinguish the snails, the people would no longer suffer from schistosomiasis, and many barren beaches that had not been cultivated for many years had begun to be used, Yuwen Qiankeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shannan Prefecture County wants to persuade Nongsang to be really inappropriate, it is really hard for the Duke of Qi, the prince, and the Duke of Xiyang."

Seeing that the topic was discussed, the atmosphere was warm, Yuwen Wen offered the gifts brought by this trip, since the imperial court set the capital of Yecheng, the first time the clan entered Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven, the gifts prepared were naturally indispensable.

First of all, there are 55 deer skins, 3,600 miscellaneous skins, 102,000 wild goose feathers, more than 300 catties of various medicinal materials, 145 dark blue satin, 170 black and green satin, and 113 red satin.

Then there were the living creatures: twelve deer, thirty-six geese, and twenty-four pairs of mandarin ducks. These were sent to the palace on the second day after arriving in Yecheng, so today is the second batch of gifts.

Three collars of ring lock armor, two pairs of carved dragon and jade paperweights, six leopard skins, three tiger skins, one white tiger skin, six pairs of ivory, five horn bows, and one hundred and fifty-six carved arrows.

These are ordinary things, and the next thing is the main thing.

"Your Majesty, this is a glass treasure mirror, reflecting the human face, a total of three sides."

"Your Majesty, this is a clairvoyant mirror, which can be used to see distant scenes, a total of three."

"Your Majesty, this is a sonnerie music box, which can produce music with the power of opportunity." Yuwen Wen said, Yuwen Qiankeng, who couldn't put down the glass mirror and the clairvoyant mirror, was even more interested when he heard him say this.

"Xiyang Gong, what's going on with this music box?"

Yu Wenwen held a wooden box on the table in front of the little emperor, took out a square hole key from the box, inserted it into a square hole on the side of the wooden box, and after a few turns, the wooden box made a crisp and pleasant sound.

The sound was like a mountain stream tinkling non-stop, Yuwen Qiankeng looked at the music box in surprise: "How is this, how can it be so interesting"

"Your Majesty, Weichen was in Chang'an East City in the past, and met a merchant in the Western Regions selling a kind of sonnerie music box, at that time he was puzzled, and he wanted to buy it back to study one or two, but he didn't think that he would be the first to get there, and then he explored it for a long time, and he painted a gourd to make this thing in the near future."

"This thing is powered by a clockwork, so it doesn't need to be manpowered, just use this key to tighten the wind, and the box will make a pleasant sound, but the music is single and repeated."

Yu Wenwen is a serious dump pot, there is no dealer in the world to sell music boxes, he was inspired by the Western music box of later generations, in order to 'generate income' to get the Xiyang music box trial works, never wanted to be sent to Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven, so by the way brought it as a gift.

Yuwen Qiankeng carefully picked up the music box, listened to the pleasant sound, just then his cousin presented the glass treasure mirror, which was really surprising, and tried the magical clairfront mirror, which can see the palace in the distance clearly, these gifts are really lovely.

"Xiyang Gong, these gifts are so interesting!"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Qiguo heard that His Majesty was worried about state affairs, and specially presented the map of Shannanzhou County, and Shiziyu Wenming presented a hundred volumes of books to His Majesty, and Weichen was not talented, and collected many stories"

"The story? Great, Xiyang Gong has to talk to me about it! Yuwen Qiankeng was very happy, he lived alone in the palace, no relatives, no friends, all the people who came and went were familiar faces, and he had nothing to do every day except reading.

Now his cousin has come thousands of miles to Yecheng to visit the palace, bringing many interesting gifts, and telling him stories, how can Yuwen Qiankeng, who is just a child, not be happy.

"Wechen obeys!" Yuwen Wen saluted when he heard the words, and when he saw the little emperor's expectant look, he smiled in his heart: Na, you have to listen to it, but don't be unable to sleep at night! (To be continued.) )
