Chapter 1003 Weird Thoughts (For Love Love Alliance Lord 3)
You must know that Chen Xu had nothing to do today.
This morning, a military newspaper came from the south. After several months of construction, more than half of the artificial canals connecting the Lishui River and Xiang River have been constructed. The army of canal repairs composed of 100,000 civil servants and prisoners has been digging trenches outside Yuechengling day and night. With the participation of the blasting team assigned by the Academy of Sciences, the rocks that were chopped by fire were bombarded by explosives. Therefore, this project, which had been spent in later generations for several years, has begun to achieve results in just a few months, with the huge manpower and material resources of the Qin Dynasty and the industrial support of thousands of years ahead of the earth's civilization. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Works and the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, at most, this huge project, second only to the Shou Palace in Lishan, will be fully connected by February. Once the Li River water flows into the Xiang River, the Qin Dynasty's army and food and grass armaments will be continuously transported into Lingnan through this artificial canal. It is a natural thing to conquer Lingnan.
There are two reasons why the canal is so smooth. One is the guidance of Chen Xu's prophet without heirs, and the other is that after the implementation of the policy of erosion, many areas outside the Wuling have been included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Tens of thousands of troops were closely guarded by the Yue tribe, so the project progressed extremely smoothly.
The emperor originally planned to leave this matter to the morning court tomorrow, but the emperor was bored in the rain and snow. He invited Meng Yi and Feng Quji to the palace to discuss some government affairs and talked about this matter. Then the three of them slowly talked about Chen Xu's greenhouse, and then naturally talked about the delicious gua that had been circulating everywhere in recent days.
So the emperor was on a whim and decided to summon Chen Xu to the palace to play mahjong. At the same time, he also wanted to ask what kind of delicious courgette this gua is.
It is impossible for the north to eat fresh fruits and melons in the snow and ice. Emperor and Feng Quji and Mengyi naturally wanted to see each other and open their eyes.
Chen Xu was also very good at it and brought a basket directly over.
After the delicious cucumber was taken away by the palace servants, the emperor ordered the eunuch to carry it out of the mahjong table. The three Shangqings accompanied Qin Shihuang to start playing mahjong. They were playing cards in a scattered manner. Feng Quji also told Chen Xu about the construction of rivers and canals in Lingnan.
"As long as this river canal is built, the army and food will continue to enter Lingnan. With the command of Tongwu Hou, I want to pacify Baiyue for the rest of my life...a tube!" Feng Quji smiled and played a card.
"Feng Xiang said it well. With the wonderful strategy of Qinghehou, the mountains and ridges in Lingnan will no longer be able to resist or disturb our army. As long as the places in Lingnan are pacified, our Qin will once again expand the territory for thousands of miles, and Your Majesty's achievements will far exceed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors...Three!" Meng Yi began to shamelessly flatter.
"It is the emperor's responsibility to expand territory. Fortunately, I have to have three beloved ministers to assist me. Otherwise, how could the Qin Dynasty have today's prosperity? The three beloved ministers can make a great contribution to this day!" The emperor grinned very comfortably.
"Your Majesty has praised you too much. I have lived in Xianyang all day without worries about food and clothing. The people who really made contributions were the soldiers on the front line and those hard-working civil servants who were hard-working and arduous. After conquering Lingnan, I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward you. Moreover, Baiyue is a barbarian, and he does not obey the king's and does not follow the education. It will take a long time to completely surrender to Lingnan!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"The young master's words are reasonable, conquering is easy to subdue and it is difficult to surrender. Fortunately, my Qin army is very good and has enough food. I only need to send officials and soldiers to garrison and educate and guide them. There will naturally be no trouble in decades!" Qin Shihuang nodded slightly.
"Natural and natural, I will congratulate Your Majesty in advance for further development of the emperor!" Chen Xu and Feng Quji and Meng Yi bowed together to congratulate him.
"Haha, I also want to thank the three beloved ministers for their strong assistance. This is a matter of the prosperity of the king and the ministers. The names of the three beloved ministers in later history books will surely shine for generations. I should enjoy this honor with you for generations!" The emperor laughed happily.
"I heard that there are many nuts, fruits and vegetables collected from the Western Regions in the warm-house of Qinghehou. I wonder how delicious it is besides cucumbers?" After talking about Lingnan, Feng Quji changed the topic.
"Not bad. I always thought that the Western Regions were a bitter and cold place. I didn't expect that there were delicious fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, and there were flax in front of them. The rice cakes and sesame oil made were also rare novels. They were used for dishes that were delicious, as well as garlic and pepper. I had never heard of them before, but the young master had a keen eye to recognize beads. Cultivated to let the people of the Central Plains taste many delicious dishes. I am looking forward to other products!" The emperor nodded while playing cards.
"I didn't expect that Feng Xiang was also a foodie. He was thinking about other fruits and vegetables of the Hou. It was okay to eat other delicacies. But Feng Xiang didn't lose a few thousand yuan today, so don't talk. The glass greenhouse alone cost me more than 100,000 yuan. I still hope to make money back on these fruits and vegetables!" Chen Xu pointed at Feng Quji and laughed.
Meng Yi curled his lips disdainfully and said, "You are rich now, so don't be so stingy as Basha!"
Chen Xu:...
Your uncle, I didn’t send you delicious food and drinks to you any time, so why is it just a father-in-law who can’t support his family? It’s very easy to destroy the situation.
"Mr. Meng is right. Qinghe Hou's family is rich now, how can he be so stingy? It's just a hundred thousand yuan. He told Qinghe Hou Nai that it's not a drop in the bucket. I want to win more than you today to subsidize your family!" Feng Quji spoke with a smile on his beard.
"Tsk tsk, Feng Xiang is a typical mentality of hating the rich. It is very unfair. The money earned by this hou has been spent on the Academy of Sciences and Cuju Commercial Plaza. Now his family is almost so poor that he can't get rid of the blame. He took a concubine a few days ago, and even jewelry cannot be afforded..."
"Marquis Qinghe, you are so poor that no one can match the world. It's just that. You, the fruits and vegetables of the Western Regions, will go to the greenhouse to get it by yourself later. You will definitely not let you enjoy the food alone!" Feng Quji pointed at Chen Xu and laughed.
"Hey, Feng Xiang's words are reasonable, go with him later!" Meng Yi nodded shamelessly and agreed.
"Haha, how can you leave me behind such a beautiful thing? It's still early now. After playing mahjong, I went to the glass greenhouse in Qinghe Villa to see it. I just heard that I have never seen the situation where vegetables can be grown in spring and summer in the cold winter. I must open my eyes!" The emperor also nodded excitedly.
Damn, I want to be shameless. The two Shangqing and the one emperor are actually thinking about my vegetable garden with only three acres of land. What about moral integrity?
However, Chen Xu could not stop this matter even if he wanted to open his eyes. Naturally, he could only admit his conscience with a slutty look.
Therefore, after playing two laps of mahjong, Chen Xu finally managed to touch them all. Meng Yi pushed the card and stood up and said, "It's getting late, so hurry up and go out of the city to take a look, otherwise it won't be too late!"
"Mr. Meng's words are reasonable, it's almost dark!" Feng Quji also stood up with a smile.
"Well, I also feel it's getting late. Come and prepare the chariot and horses quickly. I'm going to leave the city!" The First Emperor stood up with a big sleeve and waved his sleeves.
Chen Xu:...
As expected, they are all a group of shameless people. It’s just now that noon is here.
Chen Xu turned around and looked at the bright sky outside the window, cursed the three of them and fell into the ditch together, and then... Daqin was my only one!
Damn, this idea is so weird. Could it be that I really have the intention to rebel?
Chen Xu shivered slightly and stood up.
Half an hour later, under the escort of the three thousand imperial guards and five hundred Xuanwu guards, Chen Xu, Meng Yi and Feng Quji and his three carriages followed the emperor's frame, set up a guard of ceremonies and trumpets, and braved the gongs and horns to leave the city with the shattered snowflakes. Such a huge movement naturally alarmed the entire Xianyang. The streets were crowded with onlookers, and watched the emperor and the three Shangqing's carriages go out of the city in the wind and snow. This piece soon became a hot topic for the people who gathered in the quarry houses chatting and spanking.
An hour later, the black imperial guards surrounded the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion and were covered with water. Hundreds of people from Qinghe Villa rushed to the outside of the mansion to welcome him. The servants and guards knelt all over the ground. The water was gentle and the water was Ying Shiman Meng Wan and Fan Caiying and other families were all dressed neatly, braved the cold wind and snow to welcome the emperor's arrival.
Looking at the dense flags and the majestic and majestic wild dogs surrounding his home, Chen Xu could only smile bitterly.
The emperor was indeed good to him, but every time he came to visit, he would make Chen Xu’s toothache. The whole Marquis’s mansion was in chaos and couldn’t be quiet for most of the day.
"Aoao~~" The two giant pandas were chasing and rolling in the yard at this time. The ice and snow were their favorite season. When they saw a group of Xuanwu Guards wearing black clothes and black pants rushing in, they were immediately unhappy and rolled and crawled to the front of the emperor's carriage, flapping their teeth and claws to protect their territory from invasion.
"Trag the two flowers at the ends away!"
The leader of a Xuanwu Guard waved his hand, and a group of Xuanwu Guards rushed up, pressing two giant pandas to the ground in two seconds, and then the two rolled and were dragged away with a scream.
Chen Xu:...
After the people in the mansion kowtowed to the emperor and greeted the emperor, Chen Xu waved his hand and asked the servants and guards to disperse and do whatever they should do. Then he pointed to the greenhouse not far away and said, "Your Majesty, those rude vegetables are planted in that greenhouse. I will accompany Your Majesty to see!"
"Okay, three dear friends accompany me!" Emperor Qin Shi got off the carriage easily and comfortably. Feng Quji and Meng Yi also quickly got off the carriage, and then the four of them walked to the front of the greenhouse under the escort of a group of Xuanwu Guards in the cold wind and snow.
"I'd better ask Xuanwu Guard to go in and check it out first!" Chen Xu said, pointing to the straw curtain at the door.
"Wait for the time to check, be careful not to break any items, otherwise I will punish you severely!" Qin Shihuang waved his hand, and more than ten Xuanwu Guards lifted the straw curtain and rushed into the greenhouse, but then a few screams came from inside, as well as the screams of Xing'er and Yu Ji.
"Wow, you're dead, you've actually broken my brother's watermelon!"
"Oh, you stomped off the eggplant!"
Chen Xu's face was so dark that he could hardly see his eyes clearly. The emperor's skin twitched a few times. Feng Quji's face looked dull, but Meng Yi seemed to have a schadenfreshing smell, and he smiled with a very worthy beaten smile.
With a hula, the straw curtain was lifted up again, and a Xuanwu Guard with a dragon pattern embroidered on the collar stride came out, and bowed with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, there is no danger in the greenhouse!"
"Let me quit all!"
Chapter completed!
