"I still clearly remember his appearance. When we met in Xinzheng, I really admired him. However, there were things that happened later."
"This city is no longer as grand as it used to be."
Eastern tour!
The First Emperor Yingzheng did not stay in Luoyi, Sanchuan County for too long, only five or seven days. If he had not gone to Beimang Mountain again, he would have left sooner.
Beimang Mountain.
Buried many people.
There are princes, generals, and ordinary people. No matter how brilliant they were in life, they are now gradually turning into withered bones under the earth.
Depart from Luoyi and continue eastward.
Turning south, you will enter Yingchuan County. After the destruction of Korea, most of Korea was designated as Yingchuan County, and the capital Xinzheng is among them.
After years of continuous war, Xinzheng has declined and its prosperity has ceased.
The chariot drove to the outside of Xinzheng City, but Ying Zheng did not enter. He looked at this familiar city in the distance. He had been here more than ten years ago.
At that time, Xinzheng was still the royal city of Zhuxia.
At that time, in Xinzheng, there were also the princes and nobles of the old Korea, as well as Mr. Han Fei, and many others.
Everything has changed.
"Han Fei's talent is in a class of his own!"
"The talents who have learned the truth can be used by all the Xia."
"A man of talent and learning is the blood of his family and country."
"A person like Han Fei has a hint of arrogance in his nature. Maybe it would be an excellent result if he does not join the Qin Kingdom."
"The laws of heaven and earth must be implemented without hesitation, even if there is no country to rely on."
"That is the righteous path of heaven and earth, and it is a sign of having already entered the path. However, it is very difficult to achieve that step."
Zhou Qing's royal horse was by his side, and he had not been to the city of Xinzheng for a long time.
In more than ten years, that city has withered.
Completely withered.
Although there are common people there, the county seat of Yingchuan County is in Yangzhai, not Xinzheng, so the official configuration of Xinzheng is destined to be low.
Coupled with the empire's intention to erase Korea's past glory, everything will fade faster.
Han Fei!
Zilanxuan!
Night!
Xuan Jian!
Get jade!
…
At that time, I was not very big, so everything was interesting, and the struggles of Han Fei and his group in Xinzheng were interesting.
Give them another five or ten years, and maybe they can really make some moves.
In another ten or twenty years, it is really possible for the Yue Kingdom to go through the same experience and rise again to become the hegemon of the Xia.
However.
That possibility is too small, too small.
At that time, the land of Korea was already fragmented, with a small territory, weak military, cowardly monarchs, and inconsistent ministers. Moreover, Zhao and Wei would not watch Korea grow.
Han Fei's efforts can accomplish something.
Some small trends can be reversed.
But it is not enough to reverse the trend.
Han Fei could live longer, but he would still die in the end.
Han Fei died, South Korea fell, and everything was in vain.
"It's all over."
"When I entered Xinzheng, I heard about some people."
"The descendant of Guigu, Wei Zhuang!"
"He must be in the land of Lanling now."
"And the purple girl from Zilanxuan."
"And that young man from the Zhang family who was the fifth prime minister of South Korea, Zhang Liang?"
"Now that I am a disciple of Confucianism, and I have become the head of the three Confucian schools, I think I have learned a lot from others."
"Confucianism!"
"Reader!"
"Confucianism is corrupted by literature and law. Li Si, we are about to pass through Yingchuan County. You can lead a convoy and go to Langya County first."
"All schools of thought have emerged because of the war, and now it's time to restrain themselves."
Han Fei entered Qin.
Han Fei had indeed entered the Qin Dynasty, but because of his family and country's bloodline, he often felt out of place. I understood his intentions and could accommodate him.
However, what the officials in the temple court thought were different.
And Li Si.
His talent is not inferior to that of Han Fei. Both of them have their own strengths. Han Fei's talent is superior to that of a miraculous person. A non-talented person will undoubtedly achieve that.
Li Si's talent is superior to righteousness, and he will undoubtedly lead the affairs of the country without righteousness.
After years of experience, Li Si is able to take on many tasks.
Although the deceased is dead, the great cause of the empire is still in the future, and the central personnel has changed. Li Si will become his right-hand man in the future, helping him adjust the yin and yang of the empire and straighten out all things.
I spoke to an old friend from that time and thought of an important matter during this trip.
His eyes turned and fell on one person.
"Here!"
Li Si bowed.
"Li Si, according to the news from Luowang, it seems that the Korean royal family still has a bloodline?"
"How's your whereabouts?"
Ying Zheng said again.
"Your Majesty, that person is the child of Han Yu, the former crown prince of South Korea, and his name is Han Cheng. According to Luowang, that person has been walking around Qilu in recent years."
"Rarely leave the land of Shandong."
"The specific whereabouts are not yet clear."
"Although there is no exact evidence, we also know that she has some connections with Zilanxuan in Lanling City. There is also an old Korean princess in Zilanxuan there."
"It's not difficult to find the person through it."
Li Si responded slowly.
"Han Cheng!"
"There are many people of Korean royal bloodline and of the bloodlines of various Xia Kingdoms. I know their thoughts. Maybe they will take action during my trip."
"There is no need to pay attention to him. I will issue a decree to all counties. The most important thing is to do your own thing well."
"Those people are nothing but scabies."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
A mere Korean royal bloodline? It doesn’t matter to your heart. Even the old Korea fell under the imperial warriors. What does a fallen royal bloodline mean?
What do the bloodlines left by those countries mean?
The empire has only been established for a few years, and the blood of the spear has not yet completely dried up, which is enough to deter Liuhe. Other things are more important than them.
"..."
Li Si saluted again.
Those people are indeed nothing. They can be wiped out in front of the empire.
"The water conservancy ditches here in Yingchuan County are quite good. Does the Lord know why?"
Glancing at Xinzheng again, the First Emperor Yingzheng's horse was riding away along the road, followed leisurely by the accompanying Shanda chariots.
"Haha, your Majesty's question is not a question for sending points during the Central Academy Examination."
"In the past few years, Xuan Qing has invited so many people in Jiangnan, but he has never been available. We have to wait a little longer."
"Datian ordered Zheng Guo...his homeland is here, so naturally his heart is like this."
"It's a pity that Zheng Guo didn't come during this trip."
"By the way, Zheng Guo also taught Confucianism and had acquaintances with Li Si, Han Fei and others."
Zhou Qing laughed.
Zheng Guo.
This man's way of being an official is to do practical things, and this is what the emperor likes to see and see. What happened in Zheng Guoqu back then laid the foundation of Zheng State.
For many years, the official position has always been Datian Ling. I wanted to promote him to a high position, but he refused. It was really... unusual.
Although his position in the government is not illustrious, people dare not neglect him.
Among the hundreds of scholars in Zhu Xia, he is the top contemporary descendant of the Shui family.
The successful construction of Zheng Guo Canal benefited hundreds of miles of Guanzhong, making the place where Zheng Guo Canal flows became an important granary in Guanzhong of the empire.
It can be compared with the masterpieces of Li Bing and his sons in Shu.
Since the general governor has been in charge of the counties south of the Yangtze River, in order to facilitate the people in the counties, he has written to Xianyang and asked Zheng Guo to come and survey the counties, hoping to sort out the river systems one by one.
result.
If you don't come yet, it means that the matter at hand is not over yet, and it will be difficult to go to Jiangnan for a while.
He also said that in the land south of the Yangtze River, there are not many people inhabiting it now, so it is neither useful nor opportune to build large-scale water conservancy ditches.
All right.
What he said is reasonable. In fact, there are some people from the Shui family in Jiangnan who can also be useful. However, it is definitely better for the first person from the Shui family to do things.
"Zheng Guo has taught many useful people in the Central Academy in recent years. I am very happy."
"It's a pity that there are still too few people."
"I am not well versed in the matter of farmland, but I do know the importance of water conservancy and ditches, as well as the combing of some rivers in various counties."
"Some rivers will flood in summer. If water and rocks can be used to help change their flow direction and prevent them from causing chaos, it will be of great use."
"The vast power is for the use of all counties."
"Irrigating acres of fields and nourishing crops seedlings will increase grain production, and the common people will be able to eat better."
"There are hundreds of schools of thought, and there are many things that can be used."
Ying Zheng also laughed.
Zheng Guo.
Since the fall of Korea, Zheng Guo has invited Ying several times to come to the land of old Korea, and he has agreed. There is no reason not to do so.
What's more, even if you don't agree, you may still come here directly if you say you can't follow Zheng Guo's temper.
"The Central Academy, the land of the Shaofu."
"A lot of good things have been produced in recent years."
"It's spread all over the south of the Yangtze River."
"In his spare time, Xuanqing also made some farm tools, which are pretty good."
When the texture of grain seeds is ordinary, if you want to increase the yield or have a high yield, you can only rely on external things.
It has been spread among the Xia that the mixed vassals encountered along the way of the eastward patrol have a great effect on increasing the yield of acres of land. There are also stories of fights over some pickled things from time to time.
Convenient water conservancy is also one of them.
In times of drought, water is available.
When it rains heavily, there are suitable ditches for dredging.
…
If this is true, if you do those things, you can naturally increase your output.
In the past few years, some new plows and agricultural tools have appeared in Jiangnan, which saves time and effort. There are also rewards for those who take the initiative to improve and have obvious results.
"There are still too few people in Jiangnan."
"It would be nice if there were a few times more."
"How many times more, it will take two or three generations."
"It seems... it's not difficult. In the south of the Yangtze River, rice is harvested twice a year. The yield is not low. I know that there is enough food to feed more people."
"Those mountain forests, if they can be cut down, just cut them down."
"Jiangnan, I must go."
"After this eastward patrol, next time... I may have to patrol the north. The land of Yanzhao will be stable soon, and I want to take a look."
"We should also take a look at the Great Wall for ourselves and see beyond the Great Wall."
"It's time for the Northern Hu Xiongnu to be dealt with."
"Gao'er, are you feeling a little bored? You don't need to stay with me all the time. Just go back to the car and relax for a while."
"If you lose weight along the way, your mother will blame me after you return to Xianyang."
Eastern tour.
It was just a small thing, but it turned out to be a big thing, and it was solved in Xianyang.
Little things!
event!
If little things are not resolved, they will become big things.
There is nothing in Guanzhong and outside the Guan. Shandong is special. Without inspections time and time again, it is difficult to know the true appearance of the various counties.
Jiangnan.
I was very relieved to leave it to the prince. Therefore, when making the decision to inspect, Jiangnan inspection was not the first priority. The problems in Jiangnan... the prince would solve them one by one.
The rest needs to be looked at carefully.
Astride a horse, talking endlessly, the horse is not the horse that sweats thousands of miles in the Western Regions, that kind of horse is comfortable to ride without Guanzhong's horse,
As he spoke, he looked at a slightly smaller horse beside him.
Gao'er is riding on it.
"Father."
"How boring it is to stay with my father."
"I traveled eastward with my father all the way. I felt much more energetic than in Xianyang Palace, and I also had a lot more food for each meal."
"I have gained some weight, but... my skin is a little darker."
Young Master Gao responded with a smile.
He held the reins with both hands, and while talking, he waved his arms. They became much stronger and their strength increased a lot.
"Haha, you should practice hard."
"In Xianyang Palace, there is a method of strengthening the body left by your uncle. If you practice it regularly, you can avoid getting sick."
"It's darker, but I feel more energetic."
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded slightly.
""Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi"!"
"That was created by my uncle. Now that my uncle is here, he should be bothering him."
Young Master Gao also nodded.
The royal family has a way to strengthen their body, which was left behind by their uncle. Children of the royal family, no matter who they are, can practice it. Sister Yangzi also practices it.
Xi'er also practices.
I also practice, but my practice is just average, because... I feel like I don’t need it, especially when practicing it is much more difficult.
Regarding my own body, my mother often used her internal strength to train her muscles and bones, but no illness was born. However, it was still good to practice this exercise.
"It doesn't matter. Compared to your father, this trip is much easier for me and I have a lot of free time."
“If you have any questions, feel free to come.”
Looking at Gongzi Gao, Zhou Qing did not refuse what he said.
…
…
"Xinzheng!"
"Back then, I suffered a lot there. If I had been as strong as I am now, I would have burned down Xinzheng."
"Baiyue!"
"When Tianze didn't finish it, I finished it."
"It is no longer possible for Baiyue to regain its kingdom. It would be great to be able to find a long-term place to settle down in Zhuxia."
"Ruan Wengzhong and the others are quite up to par."
"In recent years, although those tribesmen near Wancheng have not had the opportunity like Ruan Wengzhong and others, some of them who are physically strong have directly joined the army."
"Hehe, I have instructed them to go directly to the Jiuyuan Camp. Meng Tian will definitely send troops to fight the Northern Hu Xiongnu in the future."
"As long as we fight, we will definitely make meritorious deeds."
"I just don't do well in reading, and I don't have a bright brain."
"Not to mention the Central Academy, even some schools in the county are not easy to advance."
“I don’t know if there will be any changes in the future.”
"I cannot protect them forever. In the future, if I am gone, everything will depend on them."
"Nongyu, tell me...do you want me to continue doing something?"
The long line of east patrol cars stretches for several miles. Yan Lingji is dressed in a light and well-fitted attire. Not to be outdone by her endless charm, she rides astride a red-haired horse and chats with Nong Yuyan, who rides a white horse next to her.
Su raised his hand lightly and pointed at the city of Xinzheng in the distance.
Being in the imperial convoy, it is difficult to use my spiritual sense, but my pair of flaming purple eyes are still unobstructed and I can still see clearly. I still remember Xinzheng freshly.
What a pity.
Some of the enemies and enemies back then are basically dead.
Even if they are not dead, they are just some minions who are too lazy to take action.
Decades ago, the small country of Baiyue was destroyed by South Korea.
More than ten years ago, South Korea was also destroyed.
Tsk tsk.
Sure enough, all things and everything complement each other. Young Master said that the empire will have its day in the future. This is the manifestation of the truth in the world.
However.
The truth is the same thing.
Now it's another thing.
For example, the Baiyue clan to which I belong has unpredictable results after a long time, so why don't we just ignore it now?
impossible.
He retracted his eyes of hatred from the city of Xinzheng and landed in front of the car, where... he could clearly see some extremely tall men.
Each one of them is much taller than ordinary people, all of them are over eight feet tall. They are all wearing mysterious clothes and heavy armor. They are all holding a very heavy weapon. They are all wearing eagle helmets that look like big black stones.
They followed each other step by step, and their speed was not inferior to the people on horseback next to them. Looking at those people, Yan Lingji was very satisfied.
It's just a pity that there is no suitable mount. The horse? Forget it, it was crushed to death.
ox?
The speed is too slow.
Alien beast?
This can be possible... I remember that during my trip to Kunlun, I encountered some wild horses. They were both good in size and endurance. If I have a chance, I will bring some back.
