Hu Hai was very disappointed when he heard what Ying Yi said. Then he thought of the method of boiling an eagle that he saw online when he was bored, and wondered if he could try it. But he immediately thought that it was for hunting, not for hunting.
As for the messenger, it is better to ask the expert Yingliu...
"Is there anyone in Heibingtai who knows how to train carrier pigeons?" Hu Hai refused to give up.
"Reply to Your Majesty, the method of sending messages by pigeons has been recorded in Heibingtai. It's just that pigeons have short legs and short legs. After training, I'm afraid..." Ying Yi looked at Hu Hai carefully and said. He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
.
"Don't worry, my dear, I have my own ideas. I will work hard today, my dear, to rush back to Ba Palace immediately and bring Ying Liu and Xin Ying to Xianyang. The pigeon trainers will also be brought to Xianyang. I have my own arrangements."
It seems that paper must be made as soon as possible, Hu Hai thought secretly.
"Here!"
When Ying saw that Hu Hai was confident, he quickly responded.
Hu Hai definitely didn't plan to go back tonight. He had a romantic relationship with Li Fei today and almost delayed the big event. So he decided that unless it was necessary or he drank too much, it would be better to see less of Li Fei in the future. His worth and life were important, and so on.
Now that the Qin Dynasty has regained its stability, it won’t be too late to have fun at that time, right?
As soon as Ying resigned and left, Hu Hai told Long Jiao, who was waiting outside the door, not to let anyone in. He had decided to sleep in the meeting hall anyway.
Hearing Hu Hai's repeated emphasis not to let anyone in, Long Jiao glanced at the political hall suspiciously, thinking to herself, could this foolish king hide another beauty in the political hall?
Feeling Long Jiao's suspicious gaze, Hu Hai helplessly pretended not to notice, turned around and went in to sleep.
…
April 16, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
Early in the morning, Ying Yi came to Xianyang Palace to report, which was requested by Hu Hai.
However, Hu Hai got up early and ran around the twelve golden figures on the Xianyang Palace Square several times. The body is the capital of revolution, and Hu Hai understood this very well.
This is the second time Hu Hai has seen these twelve huge golden men, like towering giants supporting the sky and overlooking the earth. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese nation, and he must never let it be destroyed by his own hands again.
When Yingyi came in, Hu Hai was enjoying a delicious porridge that he had specially asked the kitchen to cook for him. He was holding an exquisite small noodle pancake in his hand, and there were two or three plates of vegetables in front of him, which were also exquisite.
These were specifically requested by Hu Hai.
In the pre-Qin era, people's staple food was grain, which mainly had three types of expressions: five grains, six grains, and nine grains. All three views were introduced by Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who introduced them in his commentary on "Zhou Li Tianguan".
Although there are different opinions, in general, the staple foods of the ancient people at that time included millet, millet, beam, wheat, fried rice, bamboo shoots, rice, sesame, beans, glutinous rice, etc.
Liang is millet, the best variety among millets, and is called "Jiagu". "Shuowen·Hebu": "Grain, Jiagu is also." "Han Feizi·Wuzhi": "Therefore, those who are not full of chaff will not be satisfied."
Serve the rice meat; if it is short and brown, do not wait for Wenxiu." It can be seen that rice is not the food of the poor ordinary people.
Liang rice is different from today's rice, and can also be grown in dry lands in the north. The porridge Hu Hai drank at this time was a fresh and thick porridge made from Liang millet.
Wheat is the staple food of people in the Central Plains and the North in ancient times. Barley is called braid, wheat is called spicy, and wheat is the collective name. Some Western scholars believe that wheat was introduced to China from the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia.
It has been popular for a long time, but archaeological evidence shows that the Chinese nation already had records of growing wheat as early as the Xia Dynasty.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, wheat had been widely cultivated in China. However, "Lu Shi Chun Qiu Yue Ling" said: "In the month of Meng Xia... the farmers harvested wheat and presented it to the emperor, and the emperor tasted the wheat with pigs.
Recommend sleeping in the temple."
It can be seen that the ancients in the pre-Qin period attached great importance to wheat, but from this record, we also know that wheat was still only the food of the aristocratic class at that time.
The exquisite biscuits that Hu Hai ate were made from flour ground from wheat. Of course, this wheat and barley are not the barley we have today.
Rice is one of the stickier kinds of grains among the nine kinds of grains. It can be used when building cities. It was also mainly used to brew rice wine in the pre-Qin era. At that time, there were no high-quality white wine and later shochu, because there were not so many
Lots of food.
Rice has also been cultivated in China for a long time, but rice is an aquatic plant and is mainly produced in the south.
Vegetables, in the pre-Qin period, vegetables were called "vegetables" or "蔔s". "Erya·Shiqi": "vegetables are called 蔔s."
The main ones that can still be found in the literature records are: Changben, also known as Changxie, which is a kind of water leather; Shenpu, which is also a kind of waterweed, the young leaves that are just born are edible and can be grown into mats; leeks
; Celery; Jingjing, that is, big-headed mustard, commonly known as mustard knots; lotus root; water anemone; okra; bamboo shoots; ginger; green onion; wild garlic; cabbage, etc.
The side dishes on Hu Hai's table are made of bamboo shoots, manjing and changbenjing.
Of course, apart from the bamboo shoots, Hu Hai could roughly recognize the thick porridge in the bowl, the small cake in his hand, and the vegetables on the table, but he didn't recognize anything else, but this did not hinder the deliciousness of the food.
Because these things are really delicious.
When Ying Yi came, Hu Hai was drinking millet porridge. When he saw Ying Yi, Hu Hai put down his bowl, stopped Ying Yi and saluted, "Aiqing came at the right time. Someone come and give Ying Aiqing a table with me."
Same meal.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yingyi thanked him quickly.
After a while, a palace maid also served Ying Yi a table with the same breakfast as Hu Hai.
"Aiqing, Yingliu came to Xianyang with you." Hu Hai picked up a small dish with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth and asked.
Ying Yi was drinking porridge in silence. When he heard Hu Hai's words, he quickly put down his bowl and said, "Your Majesty, the six commanders are now waiting in Xianyang Post House. Do you want me to summon her to the palace now?"
"My dear, don't be cautious, let's talk while eating." Hu Hai waved his chopsticks, "Inn? Well, I was negligent. It seems I should find you a place to stay in Xianyang. Let's not talk about this today. You wait.
You'll go somewhere with me later. Now let's eat."
"Here!"
…
Shangfang was a very common yet special name in the pre-Qin era.
It is said to be common because before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, almost every country, big or small, would have a place called this name in every country; it is said to be special because Shangfang covers almost everything, including the royal family's clothes, gold, silver, and jade ornaments.
Ordnance production, down to carriages, horses and pans, human trafficking, it can be said that it covers everything.
Da Qin also has such a Shangfang.
But Da Qin's Shangfang is different from the other six countries. Da Qin's Shangfang can be said to be the product that pioneered assembly line production in later generations.
Adjacent to the Ganquan Palace and the Six Kingdoms Palace Complex, and far away from the "Wenxin Academy" built by Lu Buwei on the edge of the Orchid Pond on the south bank of the Wei River, the large complex of buildings is where Da Qin Shangfang is located.
