Hu Hai was very disappointed when he heard Ying Yi's words, and then thought of the method of boiling eagles written on the Internet when he was bored in later life, and wondered if he could try it. But immediately I thought that it was used for hunting, not for messengers, so I should ask the expert Yingliu.

"Does anyone know how to train carrier pigeons?" Hu Hai did not give up.

"Back to Your Majesty, the method of transmitting messages by pigeons and birds is recorded on the Black Ice Terrace. It's just that the pigeon has short calves, and I'm afraid it will be ...... after training" Win Yi looked at Hu Haidao cautiously, and didn't finish his words, but the meaning was not clear.

"Aiqing, don't worry, I have my own opinions. Today, it is hard to work Aiqing immediately rushed back to the Ba Palace and brought Ying Liu and Xinying to Xianyang. There are also pigeon trainers who are also brought to Xianyang, and I have my own arrangements. ”

It seems that the paper will be made as soon as possible, Hu Hai thought secretly.

"Whoa!"

Seeing that Hu Hai was confident, he hurriedly responded.

Hu Hai is definitely not going to go back at night, and today he had a spring breeze with Concubine Li, and he almost delayed the big event, so he decided that in the future, unless it is necessary or he drinks too much, it is generally better to see Concubine Li, and his surname is worth a lot of fate, and when Daqin regains stability, it will not be too late to enjoy himself at that time, right?

As soon as he retired from the house, Hu Hai told Long Jiao, who was waiting outside the door, not to let anyone in, anyway, he decided to sleep in this council hall.

Hearing Hu Hai's repeated emphasis on not letting anyone in, Long Jiaohu glanced at the council hall suspiciously, and thought to herself, could it be that this faint monarch is hiding a beauty in this council hall again?

Feeling Long Jiao's suspicious gaze, Hu Hai helplessly pretended not to see it, turned around and went in to sleep by himself.

……

April 16 of the first year of Great Qin II.

Early in the morning, Ying Yi came to Xianyang Palace to report, which was requested by Hu Hai.

However, Hu Hai had already gotten up and ran a few laps around the twelve golden men on the Xianyang Palace Square, and the body was the capital of leather and life, and this Hu Hai still had a lot of experience.

This was the second time Hu Hai had seen these twelve huge golden figures, like towering giants supporting the sky and overlooking the earth. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients of the Chinese nation, and it must not be destroyed from their own hands.

When Ying Yi came in, Hu Hai was drinking the small porridge he specially asked the dining room to cook for him, holding a delicate small dough cake in his hand, and two or three plates of vegetables were placed in front of him, which were also exquisite.

These are all specifically requested by Hu Hai.

In the pre-Qin era, people's staple food was grain, and there were mainly five grains, six grains, and nine grains, all of which came from the famous scholar Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who introduced them in his note "Zhou Li and Heavenly Officials".

Although there are different theories, but in general, the staple food of the ancients at that time was nothing more than millet, millet, beam, wheat, fried, rice, hemp, beans, minoru and so on.

Sorghum is the best variety of millet and millet, called "Jiagu". "Saying Wen Hebe": "He, Jiagu also." "Han Feizi Five Worms": "Therefore, those who are not full of chaff do not serve meat; If the short brown is not finished, it will not be embroidered. "It can be seen that sorghum is not food for the poor and ordinary people.

Liang was different from the current rice, and it could also be grown in the northern drylands. At this time, the porridge that Hu Hai drank was a fresh and thick porridge made from millet like Liang.

Wheat was the staple food of the ancient Central Plains and northerners. Barley is called braid, wheat is said to be spicy, and wheat is a general term. Some Western scholars believe that wheat was introduced to China from the two river basins according to the name of "spicy", which has been popular for a long time, but archaeology proves that as early as the Xia Dynasty, our Chinese people have a record of planting wheat.

Wheat was already widely cultivated in the land of China at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but in the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Moon Order", it is said: "The moon of Mengxia,...... The farmer harvests the wheat and offers it, and the Son of Heaven tastes the wheat and recommends the temple first. ”

It can be seen that the ancients attached great importance to wheat in the pre-Qin period, but from this record, it is known that wheat was still only the food of the aristocratic class at that time.

The delicate cakes that Hu Hai ate were made from flour made from finely ground wheat, and of course this wheat and barley were not the wheat we have today.

Rice is one of the more sticky of the nine grains, which can be used when building a city, and is also mainly used to make rice wine in the pre-Qin era, when there was no such high number of liquor and shochu in later generations, because there was not so much grain.

Rice was also cultivated in the land of China very early, but rice is an aquatic plant, mainly produced in the south.

Vegetables, in the pre-Qin period, vegetables were called "vegetables" or "蔌". "Erya Shiqi": "The dish is called the Buddha. ”

In the literature records, the main ones that can still be found today are: Changben, also known as Changxie, is a kind of water leather; Deep pu is also a kind of aquatic grass, the young leaves that have just grown are edible and grow into woven mats; Leek; Celery; Cranberry, that is, big-headed mustard, commonly known as mustard pimple; Lotus root; anemone; Okra; Bamboo shoots; Ginger; Scallions; mountain garlic; cabbage, etc.

The side dishes on Hu Hai's table are made of bamboo shoots, cranberries, and changbenjing.

Of course, the thick porridge in the bowl, the small cakes in his hand and the vegetables on the table Hu Hai can roughly recognize the appearance except for the bamboo shoots, and he doesn't know anything else, but this does not prevent this guy from eating fragrantly.

Because these things are really delicious.

When Hu Hai came, he was drinking millet porridge "in a hurry", and when he saw Win Yi, Hu Hai put down the bowl and stopped winning and saluted: "Aiqing came at the right time." Someone came to give Ying Aiqing a table of meals that were the same as mine. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Win one hurriedly thanked him.

After a while, the palace maid also gave Ying Yi a table the same morning as Hu Hai.

"Aiqing, Win Six is with you to Xianyang." Hu Hai picked up a handful of side dishes with chopsticks and threw them into his mouth and asked.

Ying Yizheng was silently drinking porridge, and when he heard Hu Hai's words, he hurriedly put down the bowl and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the six commanders are now waiting in the Xianyang Post House." Do you want your subordinates to summon her to the palace now? ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, she talks while eating." Hu Hai waved his chopsticks, "Post house? Well, I was negligent, and it seems that I should find you a place to stay in Xianyang. Let's not talk about this today, you wait to go somewhere with me. Now eat first. ”

"Whoa!"

……

Shangfang was a very common and special name in the pre-Qin era.

It is said that it is common because before Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, almost no matter whether it was a large or small country, there would be such a place with this name in the capital; It is said that it is special because Shangfang is almost all-encompassing, from the royal family's clothes, gold, silver and jade ornaments, ordnance production, to chariots, horses, pans, and human trafficking, it can be said to be all-encompassing.

Daqin also has such a Shangfang.

However, Daqin's Shangfang is different from the other six countries, and Daqin's Shangfang can be said to be the product of creating a precedent for assembly line production in later generations.

Adjacent to the Ganquan Palace and the palace group of the Six Kingdoms, the large building complex that is located on the edge of the Lanchi on the south bank of Weishui is located in the distance from the "Wenxin Xue Palace" built by Lü Buwei is where the Great Qin Shangfang is located.
