"The third, the third, is it really you?" King Qin Zhao rushed out of the upper study like the wind, with a smile on his face, and he smiled so much that his mouth could be closed.

"My son has seen my father." Ying Xuan pushed Jin Shan to fall into the jade pillar, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed heavily to King Qin Zhao, too hard, his forehead hit the ground, making a knocking sound.

"Oh, third child, why are you doing this? Get up. King Qin Zhao saw it in his eyes, he was very distressed, and hurriedly came to help him.

"It is the duty of the sons to kowtow to their fathers and ask for peace. The sons were far away in Shu and couldn't stay with their father, so they kowtowed a few times to make amends to their father. Not only did Ying Xuan not get up, but he kowtowed more religiously and harder.

"Knock knock!" His forehead touched the ground and made a sound like the beating of war drums.

"Third child, your filial piety, my father knows. Get up, get up. King Qin Zhao was both happy and distressed.

Rejoice, what father does not enjoy this affection? His beloved son kowtows to himself, this is filial piety, and everyone enjoys it.

Ying Xuan is his son, can he not feel distressed when he kowtows so hard?

It wasn't until he kowtowed that Ying Xuan stood up, with a smile on his face, grinning, and said, "Father, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are younger and more wise." ”

"You, just your sweet mouth." King Qin Zhao straightened his chest, raised his head, and patted Ying Xuan's face with a smile, which was very intimate, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"Come, come in." King Qin Zhao held Ying Xuan's hand and pulled him into the upper study.

Personally helped Ying Xuan sit down and poured a cup of tea for Ying Xuan. Send it to Yingxuan. Only then did he sit opposite Ying Xuan. opened his eyes wide, looked at Ying Xuan, and said with a smile: "Third child, didn't you suffer in Shuzhong?" ”

"Smack." Ying Xuan patted his chest and said with a smile: "Father, look, do you look at me as if I am suffering?" I'm strong, and it's hard for me. That's not a problem. ”

This kind of contrivedness made King Qin Zhao laugh, and the laughter was so joyful that he leaned forward and closed.

After laughing, King Qin Zhao frowned, his face was solemn, and he said: "Although the land of Shu became the land of Great Qin when he was the father of the king, it has always been a bad mountain and bad water, drought and flood, and it is difficult to increase the national strength of Great Qin. Sima Cuo's plan did not come true. The widow sent you to Shuzhong, hoping that you could succeed in governing Shu. Accumulate national strength for Great Qin. ”

Sichuan is known as the "Land of Abundance", which was after Li Bing's success in governing Shu. Li Bing's greatest achievement in Shu was the construction of Dujiangyan, and since then, the Chengdu Plain has been harvested by drought and flood, and has become a country of abundance.

However, before Li Bing ruled Shu, Sichuan was synonymous with "evil mountains and bad waters", because the people there were barbaric, uncivilized, and looked down upon. What's more, because of the disaster of the Luojiang River, half of the whole Sichuan is always flooded, as long as it rains, nine times out of ten it is a flood; The other half is the opposite, always suffering from droughts, major droughts and small droughts, and there are no rains a few times a year.

With such a bad natural disaster, the land of Bashu is in famine and turmoil every year, for this reason, there has been a debate between the government and the opposition of the Qin State, and there are two propositions, one is to abandon Sichuan, not this dangerous mountain and bad water. The other advocates governance, believing that as long as the methods are appropriate, Sichuan can always be managed well.

King Qin Zhao weighed it again and again, and finally decided to govern Bashu, and for this reason, he sent his third son Yingxuan to the land of Bashu to sit down.

The land of Bashu is not the land of Qin, it was during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, Sima Coo's refutation of Zhang Yi and the strong advocacy of Qin to collect the land of Bashu. After thinking about it again, King Huiwen of Qin adopted Sima Cuo's suggestion and sent troops to Bashu to include the land of Bashu in the territory of Qin.

However, the Qin State won the land of Bashu, but did not succeed in governing, but became worse and worse the more it was governed. It has always been a huge burden for the Qin State. It was not until Li Bing entered Shu and built Dujiangyan that the Chengdu Plain became a rich land, and it was only then that Sima Cuo's expectations were met.

And if Qin wants to dominate the world and dominate the world, it is too necessary to accumulate national strength, and King Qin Zhao still has a glimmer of hope for Bashu, so he did not give up Bashu.

He sent his beloved son Yingxuan to Bashu because he had high hopes for the land of Bashu.

"Father, the son came back this time to report the good news to his father." Ying Xuan's mouth cracked, and he said with a smile: "Father, do you know what Bashu looks like today?" ”

"You say? Have you succeeded in curing Shu? King Qin Zhao was very eager, leaning forward, his eyes wide.

Before Li Bing's success in governing Shu, the main source of Qin's grain was Guanzhong. Although Guanzhong is rich after all, it is only so big, only "eight hundred miles of Qinchuan", and no matter how rich it is, there is a limit, which greatly restricts the development of Qin. If Bashu can be successfully governed, Qin will have more money and grain, the national strength will be stronger, and it will be more advantageous to compete for hegemony with Shandong.

Not to mention, in the first battle of Zhongmu, the Qin State won a great victory, which greatly damaged the vitality of Shandong, which was a good opportunity for the Qin State to advance eastward. If the power of Bashu can be obtained, the Qin State will be more advantageous, and the results of this battle in the coming year will be even greater.

It is precisely because of this that King Qin Zhao is not in a hurry.

"Father, today's Bashu is no longer what it used to be, rich and rich, every family has food, everyone has clothes to wear, the people of Bashu are grateful to Daqin, pray to the heavens every day, and my father will live a long life." Ying Xuan smiled all over his face.

"Oh." King Qin Zhao's face was flushed with joy.

"Father, my son came back this time and brought you a few gifts." Ying Xuan smiled even more happily.

"Hmph." King Qin Zhao's face sank, he snorted coldly, his face was solemn, and he said: "Third child, you know, Da Qin doesn't accept gifts, you are so bold that you dare to give gifts to widows." ”

Although the land of Shandong scolded the Qin State to the fullest, the Qin State was politically clear and had an excellent political style, and the fact that he did not accept gifts is a clear proof of this.

From King Qin Zhao to ordinary officials, they will not accept gifts. Although Ying Xuan was the beloved son of King Qin Zhao, King Qin Zhao could not accept his gifts.

"Father, don't be angry, see the gift of your son, and you will know." King Qin Zhao's face was very unkind, but Ying Xuan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Father, it is said to be a gift, but it is just a product of the land of Bashu." ”

"A Bashu specialty? The widow can be seen. King Qin Zhao nodded.

"Bring it in." Ying Xuan yelled outside the door.

Immediately, Huan Xing commanded a team of miscellaneous servants and brought in a few boxes. After putting the box, Huan Xing waved his hand, and the handyman retreated.

Ying Xuan stood up, came to the box, opened the box, took out a beautiful brocade, and explained to King Qin Zhao with a smile, "Father, this is the Bashu brocade." The people of Bashu are good at brocade, exquisite workmanship, bright colors, and very good-looking. The sons and daughters could not fulfill their filial piety, so they bought this brocade for their father, which was only enough to make a robe. The father made a robe and put it on his body, just as a son accompanied his father. ”

The brocade of Bashu is very famous and has a long history. Ying Xuan's words came to the heart of King Qin Zhao, he was very happy, and took a look at the brocade, this brocade is very precious, exquisite workmanship, bright colors, and very gorgeous. But it's not much, as Ying Xuan said, it's only enough to make a robe.

"Well, you have a heart. However, the money has to be on you. King Qin Zhao nodded.

"That's nature. Making a robe for his father is what a son should do, and this is the filial piety of a son. Ying Xuan said busily.

If Ying Xuan gave a gift to King Qin Zhao as a courtier, King Qin Zhao would never accept it. If it is a gift as a son, it is a matter of course, and King Qin Zhao is very happy.

"Father, this is Bashu's bacon, fragrant, delicious, and very catchy." Ying Xuan took out a piece of golden bacon from the box again.

"Bacon? What is bacon? King Qin Zhao looked at the bacon for a while, his nose twitched, and said with a smile: "The color is bright, it is very good-looking." Well, this fragrance is so strong, very fragrant and fragrant. ”

Sichuan's bacon is very famous, has a long history, is a Sichuan flavor snack, even in modern society is also famous.

"Father, the people of Bashu smeared the meat with salt, condiments, and spices, and dried it, and it became like this. This was done by Erchen himself for his father, and for this reason, Erchen has been a mountain man for many months. "Win the treasure like a treasure.

"You have a heart, you have a heart." King Qin Zhao took the bacon in his hand and looked at it for a while, which was very useful.

King Qin Zhao is a hero, he is not happy with the appetite, but with fierce ambition, however, his son sent some Bashu special bacon to himself, he was really happy, and said with a smile: "Then I will accept it." ”

"Thank you for your father's face." Ying Xuan was overjoyed, took out a wine jar from the box, handed it to King Qin Zhao like a treasure, and said, "Father, guess what this is?" ”

"Wrote a big word for wine, of course it's wine, you really are." Ying Xuan's move was very good to win his favor, and King Qin Zhao looked at the words on the wine jar, and he was very happy.

"That's right, it's wine, but it's completely different from Qin wine." King Ying Zhao patted the mud open, a smell of wine permeated, King Qin Zhao sniffed and praised: "Good wine!" Wine! Well, this wine seems to be stronger than Qin wine. ”

"Father is wise!" Ying Xuan hurriedly praised and said: "Looking at the world, there are many famous wines, but there are no such as the spirits of Bashu wine pulp." Father, the wine of Bashu is very strong, full of strength, and it is the wine of warriors. ”

Sichuan's spirits are very famous, and "spicy dishes" have become Sichuan's signatures. Although there was no high-grade liquor in the Warring States Period, there was still a big gap between the alcohol content of Sichuan and the spirits of later generations, but this kind of sign has appeared.

While speaking, Ying Xuan poured a knight for King Qin Zhao and handed it to King Qin Zhao with both hands. King Qin Zhao took it, first sniffed it, then took a sip, tasted it, his eyes flashed, and he praised loudly: "Good wine!" It's really good wine! It's strong, it's strong, it's a warrior's wine! ”

King Qin Zhao was full of praise, and Ying Xuan was very happy, and secretly said in his heart: "My thoughts are not in vain, and I have won the favor of my father." ”

"Third child, you have delivered the wine and meat well. Inhuman ......," King Qin Zhao said with a smile.

"Inhuman?" A cold glint flashed in Ying Xuan's eyes.

“…… Back in Xianyang, the widow was about to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and your wine and meat were well delivered, just to come in handy. Come on, send it to the imperial dining room, and take care of it. King Qin Zhao issued a loud order.

"Inhuman!" Ying Xuan roared angrily in his heart, and his eyes flashed and disappeared. (To be continued.) )
