King Qin shook his head: "Your ability is indeed in the field." I've heard from you today that you've offered so many good ideas, and that's enough. Next, you should take care of the affairs in the field, so that the Qin State can have more food and clothing. ”

Zhu Xiang knelt down and said: "The minister receives the order!" ”

King Qin picked up Zhu Xiang and did not speak again.

He ordered Zhu Xiang to step back, returned to the chair by himself, and was silent for a long time.

Today's performance of Zhu Xiang is that he is completely concerned about the Qin State and is willing to do things for the Qin State.

He was delighted.

However, let Zhu Xiang continue to farm.

King Qin didn't expect that he would be so merciful. But with a little kindness once in a while, he feels good.

"Even Mr. gradually treats Zhu Xiang like a junior, and it is difficult for me to be Zhu Xiang." King Qin sighed with emotion, "Zhu Xiang is really a magical person. ”

When Zhu Xiang left the palace, he sneezed loudly.

He glanced at the system, and King Qin's favor towards him actually turned into a heart.

Zhu Xiang was surprised. From this point of view, King Qin's favorability has risen much faster than he imagined. He thought that he would have to sell his strength to King Qin for a long time in order to increase his favorability.

He counted his current favorability and sorted out the seed warehouse.

Lin Zhen's four hearts were removed after he returned to the Qin Kingdom. The things given by Lin Zhen's favorability were as unconventional as Lin Zhen himself, which made Zhu Xiang quite speechless.

Lin Zhen's one-heart favorability gave him vanilla, second-heart favorability gave him black pepper, third-heart favorability gave him chili pepper, and fourth-hearted favorability gave him rice seeds.

Zhu Xiang always has the illusion that he has drawn a card for nothing.

Look at what Xia Tongsanxin gave?! Potato!!

Look at what other people give with two hearts?! Wheat!!

You give me seasoning with three hearts, and only one rice with four hearts, are you embarrassed?!

Zhu Xiang also thought that Lin Zhen would give him sweet potatoes and corn and other good things. Fruiting out rice? That's it?

Although the taste and yield of the current rice are extremely poor, and the new rice seeds are very beneficial to the development of the southern territory, Zhu Xiang still thinks that Lin Zhen's favorability is playing with him.

He was very angry and made duck meat that Lin Zhen didn't like to eat for three days in a row.

Lin Zhen was confused, and he didn't know where to offend Zhu Xiang.

Not only Lin Zhen, but the favorability lottery accumulated by others did not draw good things.

Zhu Xiang now gets garlic and green onions, and he doesn't even have cucumbers, tomatoes, winter melons, pumpkins, and other vegetables that he misses, let alone fruits.

It stands to reason that the system should be able to extract fruit. Is fruit harder to smoke than grain? Or is it that what is smoked has something to do with the person who gives the favor? Just like Lin Gong's farewell gift?

If so, Lin Zhen will eat duck meat for another three days.

At this time, the variety of fruits is very scarce. The original body of apples is basically not eaten, the north mainly eats dates and chestnuts, and the south mainly eats oranges and pomelo. "Gangpu no Tangerine" and "Yunmeng no Yuzu" are now recognized as the most delicious and high-end fruits.

Although peaches, plums, and plums are also grown, most of them are too sour, so they are more often made into preserved fruits or made into juice as condiments.

Nowadays, vinegar is a very rare seasoning, and it takes skilled brewers to make vinegar. Until the Wei and Jin dynasties, vinegar was still a high-end condiment. Therefore, the folk sour seasoning is basically plum juice, peach juice, and plum juice.

Because the Yangtze River basin is far away from Xianyang, the "orange of Jiangpu" and "pomelo of Yunmeng" are not very fresh when they are transported to Xianyang. King Qin generously gave Zheng'er oranges and grapefruits, and Zhu Xiang tasted them, but he couldn't eat them directly, so he could only use sugar seasoning to make dishes or preserved fruits.

In fact, King Qin himself eats like this.

Zhu Xiang very much hopes to eat sweet and delicious fruits in the future, such as how can there be no watermelon in summer?

"Lin Li is really useless." Zhu Xiang once again attacked Lin Zhen.

The four-hearted favorability is "a friend of the neck", and it may be difficult for him to have a second one in his life. He had the most ardent hope for Lin Zhen, but Lin Zhen failed him.

Let's eat roast duck today.

Zhu Xiang returned home and informed his family about the affairs in the palace.

He said to Fan Ju, who was already familiar with him: "Ying Hou, can't you really let me help too?" ”

Fan Ju seemed to repel mosquitoes: "Go and plant your land." ”

Bai Qi also agreed.

Zhu Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.

Wu Anjun, who once made the children of the Six Kingdoms stop crying, how did he become the echo worm of Ying Hou after arriving at his own home?

"Bai Gong, do you want to move to the suburbs with me to farm?" Zhu Xiang asked.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”

has to use the divisive tactic again, and it is definitely time for Ying Hou to return to the court. He has nothing to do, continue to follow Zhu Xiang.

When Zhu Xiang moved his family to King Qin's grange outside Xianyang City, Cai Ze, Lin Zhen, and Zichu did not go with him.

Cai Ze, Lin Zhen, and Zichu are also going to work. Lin Zhen was appointed as an internal official to King Qin, and Cai Ze wanted to participate in the discord plan against Lian Po and Li Mu this time. As for Zi Chu, he had to go to the northern border to negotiate a new alliance with the Rongdi tribe as the prince of Qin.

Zi Chu met with the Rong Di tribe instead of the King of Qin, and the other sons of Prince Zhu were so jealous that their eyes were red and bleeding.

After the prince Zhu beat the son-in-law, the other sons were a lot of peace. Now they're a little agitated again.

The heir system of the Qin State is not the primogeniture system, which is also the reason why the Six Kingdoms criticized the Qin State as a "barbarian". The heir of the Qin State is "the residence of the brave warrior", and "there is no seal of land, and no son is the king" and "the son is the horseman".

Although this "bravery" has basically become the king of Qin to establish a prince by virtue of his preference, the other sons of the king of Qin still have no rewards without merit.

Prince Zhu has more than 20 sons, and Zichu alone has so much credit. Even if some people are not interested in competing for the position of King of Qin, they still want a feudal king. Zichu is particularly eye-catching.

Zichu's strong supporter, Changping Jun Zhu Xiang, also became a thorn in their eyes.

They didn't dare to attack Changpingjun Zhu Xiang directly, but they could provoke the relationship between Changpingjun and Zichu. So the matter of welcoming Ying Xiaozheng's mother Chunhua into Qin was mentioned in the court.

When Ying Xiaozheng learned of this, he was so angry that he ate two large bowls of rice.

Zhu Xiang pinched his chin. Could this also be the calculation of King Qin and Ying Hou?

Chapter 58 Fried shrimp and shrimp noodles

In order to divert the attention of Ying Xiaozheng, who was angry about cooking, Zhu Xiang took Ying Xiaozheng to farm, and at the same time told Ying Xiaozheng about the policies of the Seven Kingdoms on agriculture, which triggered Ying Xiaozheng's thinking.

Bai Qi was like an old farmer, carrying a hoe and walking beside Ying Xiaozheng to act as a guard.

He had just hoeed the grass with Zhu Xiang. Although I haven't been in the ground for a long time, the craftsmanship is not rusty.

After the Qin State moved its capital to Xianyang, the vicinity of Xianyang has always been one of the most important agricultural production areas.

Yongzhou Yimillet and millet. Although wheat is also grown near Xianyang City, millet and millet are still the main crops.

Wheat needs a lot of water, and the irrigation conditions in Xianyang are not as good as those near Handan, so Zhu Xiang has excellent wheat seeds in his hands, and does not promote wheat near Xianyang City, but does his best to help farmers solve the problems encountered in planting millet and yellow rice.

When corn is drawn, he can replace millet and yellow rice with corn in drier places to increase farmers' incomes. Corn is of great importance to Shaanxi, and almost half of the guidance documents issued by the Shaanxi Department of Agriculture are talking about corn.

Wheat can be grown in the Kanto Plain. When Li Bing repairs Dujiangyan, rice can be planted in the Chengdu Plain. This is Zhu Xiang's work next year.

When Li Bing entered Shu, Zhu Xiang was ready to go together. Using the rice seeds in his hand to develop the Chengdu Plain can not only revitalize Bashu, but also maybe make the civilians of Chu return to their hearts, and they can gain some territory without fighting.

The states of Chu and Qi were the least important of the seven countries that attached importance to agricultural production, and the reason why both countries did not attach importance to agricultural production was because they were too rich.

The state of Qi is close to the sea and can accumulate a lot of wealth through commerce. Today's Qi State is extravagant, and the degree of folk comparison is comparable to that of the wealthy merchants and families of the Wei and Jin dynasties in later generations.

It was precisely because of such an atmosphere that the Qin State was able to make a huge Qi State wait quietly to die in the Qin State Unification War with only heavy bribes.

The state of Chu is located in the Yangtze River basin, and later generations have proved that this is the most suitable area for economic development, the subtropical monsoon climate almost completely meets the needs of most crops, and the extremely superior water and heat conditions make the state of Chu at the point where you can wait for a bumper harvest by sowing a handful of seeds.

"The natural conditions are too superior, and the Chu State's 'fire cultivation and water rake' can be free from famine. There was no urgent need, so the Chu State abandoned the management of agriculture, so there were few people in the Chu State who froze to death and starved to death, and there were few wealthy people. Most of the common people are in poverty. Zhu Xiang said, "Wu Qi once wanted to immigrate to undeveloped places and reclaim land and expand fields, but was opposed by the nobles of Chu State. After Wu Qi's death, the state of Chu did nothing in agriculture. ”

Ying Xiaozheng was puzzled: "Reclamation not only allows the common people to have more land, but also allows the nobles to benefit." Why did the nobles of Chu oppose it? ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and said: "Zheng'er, in the eyes of the King of Chu, is the wasteland really wasteland?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned and thought. In his mind, he thought of what he had seen in his dream when he visited the Seven Kingdoms, especially the Central Plains.

"The aristocracy hid his land to avoid paying taxes." Ying Xiaozheng said with a straight face, "Wu Qiming ordered the reclamation on the surface, but in fact, he was investigating the hidden fields of the nobles. ”

Zhu Xiang rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's head: "Zheng'er is so smart, even if he is an official in the court, he may not be able to see the key at a glance." ”

Without King Qin and Fan Ju by his side, Bai Qi also spoke casually: "The trunk and the branches compete for nutrients, and if the branches are too prosperous, they will rob the trunk of nutrients." Wu Qi wanted to cut off some excess branches and leaves to ensure the growth of the trunk, no wonder he would die tragically. But the branches and leaves compete for too many nutrients, and the trunk collapses, so how can the branches and leaves survive? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I once heard that the walls of a small city on the border were exposed by the wind and rain, and many people secretly went to steal the bricks. They knew that the Huns would kill them if the wall fell, but they would think, I just took a brick, how could the city wall collapse? ”

Bai raised his head: "Like charging in battle, the soldiers think that their own retreat will not lead to defeat in the war." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The truth of many different things is the same. Bai Gong saw that the state of Chu was divided into armies, and the army of the nobles was not the army of the king of Chu; I saw that the state of Chu had empty fertile land, but did not think of cultivating it, and paid taxes by exploiting the poor, making the poor poorer and the rich richer, resulting in an empty treasury and hardship for the people. In the end, it all leads to the path of destruction. ”

Ying Xiaozheng muttered: "But Chu State is still difficult to fight." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The state of Chu is not difficult to fight, but the territory is too big and it takes time. Moreover, there were many high-ranking officials of the Chu clan in the court of the Qin State, and they only fought for the city, even if they burned the ancestral tomb of the King of Chu, they didn't care. However, the fall of the Chu State made them lose their identity as a clan of a country and became no different from other scholars, so they refused to do so, and they would definitely cooperate with the outside of the Chu State and drag down the progress of the Qin State in attacking Chu. ”

Ying Xiaozheng looked up at Bai Qi, who burned the ancestral tomb of the King of Chu.

Bai Qi gave Ying Xiaozheng a very calm look, as if he was not the one who burned the ancestral tomb of King Chu.

Ying Xiaozheng hugged his lotus-like arm and said angrily: "That's right! And they will do it! ”

Damn Changping-kun!

Changping Jun was the brother of the king of Chu. After the death of King Chu Kaolie, the succession battle for the throne of Chu was fierce, and the king of Chu killed his brother King Chu Ai to stand on his own.

King Chu Kaolie was a proton in the Qin State, and Changping Jun was the son born to King Chu Kaolie when he was a proton.

Factor Chu became the heir of Lady Huayang, and Chu's relatives continued to occupy a large area in the court of Qin. Both the Qin prince Chu and the Qin prince Zheng trusted Changping Jun very much. When Qin Wangzheng destroyed Chang Yu and Lü Buwei, Changping Jun was one of the henchmen who supported Qin Wangzheng.

Changping Jun has almost nothing to do with the State of Chu, and he can betray the State of Qin for the State of Chu, Ying Xiaozheng kept holding his little short hand and nodded, his uncle was right!

"Today's lesson is over." Zhu Xiang picked up Ying Xiaozheng, "The lesson left for Zheng'er is that if Zheng'er is the king of Chu, how to make the Chu State strong." Well...... You just choose the king of Chu in the Wu Qi period and think about how to complete the change. ”

Ying Xiaozheng clenched his fleshy little fist and said, "It's not simple? Kill all those who oppose it! ”

The white eyelids that killed countless people jumped, but Zhu Xiang, who was kind to others, laughed.

"The state of Chu is not comparable to the state of Qin, if the king of Chu orders to kill the nobles, I am afraid that the sun will not rise on the second day." Zhu Xiang said with a smile, "Zheng'er, this homework is not simple, you should go and get to know Chu State first." ”

Ying Xiaozheng pursed his mouth: "I just need to know how to destroy the Chu State, why do I have to think about how to be the king of Chu?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Because in the future, Chu will also be your territory." Moreover, by learning the lessons of other kings, Zheng'er and his descendants will not make the same mistakes. Moreover, there are very few great nobles in the Qin State who can disobey the King of Qin now. After the unification of the world, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms will add up to a lot. The Qin State at that time had many similarities with the Chu State at this time. ”

Ying Xiaozheng reached out and hugged his head.
