Zhao Huaizhong took Mu Yangjing out to sea from the south, and then headed east along the coastline, stopping and stopping along the way.
Mu Yang observed quietly, and it took him a while to understand Zhao Huaizhong's purpose of going to sea.
"You brought me out to catch sea creatures?"
Zhao Huaizhong came out to catch abalone.
The abalone here refers to serious seafood, real abalone.
Seafood was not popular in this era, and not many people ate seafood except in coastal areas.
Zhao Huaizhong went out and picked out some big, fat abalone, ready to catch them back to eat.
The Bohai Sea in Northeast China is the ancient producing area of ​​abalone, so after Zhao Huaizhong went to the sea, he went east along the line and caught high-quality abalone and other seafood along the way.
"You, the lord of a country and a practitioner in the realm of ancient saints, come out to find things just to satisfy your greed?" Mu Yangjing teased.
She was quite happy to be alone with Zhao Huaizhong, and it was just for fun and leisure.
"Is it any wonder that when people eat grains, they have great appetites and desires? In my opinion, the appetites and appetites rank second among all human desires," said Zhao Huaizhong.
"Then what's number one?" Mu Yangjing was curious.
Soon, she knew what was number one.
Zhao Huaizhong really had something serious to do when he came out. He played with the goddess in the clouds once, and he was deeply impressed.
Everyone Mu knew his true purpose and wanted to escape from the clutches of the devil, but unfortunately he failed.
The two of them played outside until the evening. When they returned to Huacaoju, Mu Yangjing still felt hot and ashamed.
He is so shameless, I will never go out with him next time.
When Zhao Huaizhong returned to the palace, he gave the abalone to the cook.
At noon the next day, I rushed back to Wuying Hall to eat with Jiang Shu.
The chef simmers the abalone for a whole day, and then uses the duck, chicken, elbow, scallops and other fresh things that have been prepared a few days in advance to make the soup and make the abalone juice, which is cooked over and over again.
Go shower it.
Simmering for a long time makes it complete in shape and texture, but also very delicious, and the workmanship is meticulous and elegant.
Watching the cooking process is very exciting, like watching the shaping process of a work of art.
When the abalone was finally presented to Zhao Huaizhong, he cut the complete abalone meat with a knife and put it into his mouth. It was an ultimate gourmet experience that was so fresh that the taste buds can feel it, and the aftertaste is endless.
The taste is soft and smooth without losing its toughness, and it is plump and full of fresh fragrance.
Tsk…
In each palace, Mu Yangjing and the female general each had a share.
Jiang Shu thought this thing had a strange shape and asked Zhao Huaizhong what it was.
"This is called abalone, which is a kind of seafood. Eat more and you will get what you need." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Jiang Shu didn’t quite understand what was going on here, but she was obedient and ate a double portion of abalone.
After eating, use the tip of your smooth tongue to lick the abalone juice from the corner of your mouth into your mouth.
Prince Zhao Ji also wanted to eat one, but his father slapped him on the head: "Children are not allowed to eat abalone."
I went out to sea yesterday and caught a lot of flying crabs and other seafood, which I cooked with shellfish.
These don't need any other processing. You can eat them with the original taste of seafood. When you dip them in the prepared sauce, the taste in your mouth is also excellent.
Jiang Shu hurried out after eating, as if she was in a hurry.
Zhao Huaizhong asked: "Where are you going in a hurry?"
"In a few days, a grand sacrificial ceremony to unify all countries will be held. The female officials in the palace were recruited by my mother to Zhangtai Palace. We need to practice the parts we need to participate in beforehand. I am afraid that I will make the wrong steps, so I have to go there early." Jiang Shu said.
.
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said: "You are the queen, why do you have to adapt to those rules? If you remember it wrong, let others follow you."
Jiang Shu's bright eyes slightly curved: "My mother is here too, how dare I?"
Then he explained: "My mother is busy in the palace and rarely goes out every few years. There is a ceremony to be held this time, so it is rare for my mother to find something to do."
Zhao Huaizhong suddenly realized that Jiang Shu was trying her best to fulfill her duty as the Queen of Qin. She had listened to the female officer describe the process of the ceremony, which was not the point. Making Zhao Ji happy was the purpose.
After Jiang Shu finished speaking, she took the maid with her and went to Zhangtai Palace amidst the jingling of her rings and her skirts flying.
Zhao Huaizhong licked his lips, feeling happy to have such a wife.
The study room of Xianyang Palace.
In the afternoon, Lu Buwei and Han Fei came in to discuss state affairs with Zhao Huaizhong.
Lu Buwei, Li Si, Han Fei and others have recently formulated many things that should be done after Qin unified the world.
This included the gradual abolition of the feudal system and the establishment of additional counties in various places.
The system of prefectures and counties had been gradually implemented in Qin in the past few years, but it had not become popular.
The situation varies from place to place.
The advantage of the county system is that it can initially break the patriarchal feudal system of blood relations, further consolidate the royal power, and also supplement and promote the imperial examination that has been tried to promote the selection of talents for several years.
In addition, Qin will complete the unification of currency, weights and measures, and writing in the next period.
There are also wealthy people and civilians who migrated to the six countries to prevent the remaining power of the nobles from the six countries from making small moves in various places.
Some of the remaining elite tribesmen from the six countries will migrate to various places to participate in labor.
This is called "relocation", and they do hard labor such as mining, salt wells, and canals.
These measures are the most suitable for the current situation and can reduce social unrest. Some of the systems of later generations that Zhao Huaizhong knew were very good, but they are not necessarily suitable for this era.
In addition, the spiritual canal must be built.
In ancient times, Ling Canal was known as Qin Zhuo Canal, Dou River, Xing'an Canal, and Xianggui Canal. It is a huge water conservancy project that is not inferior to Zheng Guo Canal.
It is located in the territory of the Zhuang people in Guangxi in later generations. It flows from east to west, connecting the Haiyang River and the Da Rong River. It is one of the oldest canals in the world.
The construction of Ling Canal can connect the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River to form a water transportation system throughout East and South China, further strengthening Qin and Fu Qin.
The most important thing is that in the southwest, the reason why hundreds of tribes live together and are unwilling to surrender is because of the special terrain.
Although the power of immortals and demons makes it much easier to get in and out, the roads are dangerous and difficult, forming a natural divided area. Therefore, since ancient times, the southwest has been repeatedly conquered, and conquests have been inconvenient. Situations of surrender and rebellion have often occurred.
However, things will be different after the construction of Lingqu Canal, which is conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the southwest.
Building the Ling Canal and interoperating with each other for trade can gradually Chineseize the Southwest, and eventually completely integrate into China and become a docile people.
Historically, since the Qin Dynasty, the construction of Ling Canal has played a positive role in consolidating national unity, strengthening political, economic, and cultural exchanges between the north and the south, and intensifying exchanges between various ethnic groups.
These bills are sent to Zhao Huaizhong, and with his approval, they will be implemented.
Others will be gradually implemented in the coming months or even years.
Many days passed in a blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of early June, there was a hint of warmth in the air.
Zhao Huaizhong approved the memorial and casually asked Fan Qingzhou, who came to report the matter: "How is Prince Dan doing after he fled to Liaodong?"
"After the remnants of the Yan people entered Liaodong, they often had disputes with surrounding tribes. Prince Dan's intention to expand territory and accumulate strength was obvious."
Fan Qingzhou said: "What he did after arriving in Liaodong was just as the king expected."
Zhao Huaizhong pondered for a moment. Currently, Da Qin has completed what it needs to do in the first stage, which is to pacify the Central Plains.
Next he plans to launch a series of arrangements.
Dominating Middle-earth... is obviously not enough, it can only be regarded as the beginning.
Middle-earth will still continue to expand outwards. On the other hand, it will involve step by step the dispute between the underworld and the fairy world based on personal cultivation.
Since ancient times, the human emperor has been juxtaposed with the earth emperor and the emperor.
Zhao Huaizhong's ambition is to expand the power of the Human Emperor to the extreme. What would it be like to truly be an emperor for eternity and create something unprecedented?!
