Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven Private Interviews
The convoy of the First Emperor's parade has set out from Xianyang for fifteen days, set out from Xianyang, passed through the Sanqin area, passed Guanzhong, and now it has arrived in Yingchuan County. Everywhere the convoy goes, there must be crowds of people, and welcoming each other in the road.
Your heart is like the sea. No one knows whether the First Emperor took advantage of the opportunity to travel to Fengshan Mountain, or the reason for the Fengshan Mountain, to travel to the world.
This was the second tour of the First Emperor after he unified the six kingdoms. In the history of his previous life, this tour of the First Emperor had conducted a total of five tours in his life.
In the history of previous lives, whenever I mentioned the First Emperor's tour, I was full of criticism and criticism. What are extravagant and desperate desires, what are the waste of money and money...
But when you are in this era and experience all this personally, when you think of the records in the historical books of previous lives, you will truly feel what shrimp is, what bullshit is, what shrimp is...
History is always written by the winner, and the pen that writes history is also in the hands of the winner. It is believed that there are some historians with backbone, but there is always no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the prison.
This should be the second time that the First Emperor traveled the world. A few years ago, the First Emperor traveled the world for the first time, traveled to the Three Qins, passed Guanzhong, and re-traveled the Qin Dynasty from the establishment of the country in Longxi to the foundation before unifying the world. That was the root of the old Qin people, and that was the foundation of the Qin Dynasty's revival of the six generations and swept the world.
Li Chen knew in his heart that the First Emperor's tour this time had nothing to do with pleasure, but had a strong political purpose.
Not to mention anything else, the road of Daqin is quite flat, but it can only be considered flat. The wooden wheels are driving on this dirt road, which is simply to shake people apart.
If the First Emperor really wanted to enjoy himself, he would build a swimming pool in Afang Palace, arrange the time reasonably, and call more than twenty concubines to exercise together. Wouldn't it be wonderful...
According to the plan of the First Emperor, this tour was to inspect the old places of the six countries. The destination of this tour was Mount Tai. When you go, you would pass by Han and Wei, and when you return to Xianyang, you would go to Qi and Chu. Whether it was a tour or Fengshan, the first emperor was to build momentum for the implementation of the new law. The biggest obstacle to the implementation of the new law was the nobles and aristocratic families, and the remnants of the six countries would naturally not miss this opportunity to mess up the situation. The purpose of this tour was to suppress the old places of the six countries.
A red sun poked out from the hillside of the east, hanging lazily in the sky, looking weak. In front of the sun, there were two clouds of clouds that had not yet dissipated, like two tired dark circles.
These days, the weather becomes more and more stuffy, making people feel restless.
This official road is built against the mountain, and it must have been a few years. There must be very few people passing by here on weekdays. Now the entire official road is covered with weeds.
"Where has Wang Li been?" Li Chen poked his head out of the carriage and asked Wang Li on the shaft of the carriage.
"Brother, I've arrived in Yingchuan County, and Xu County is ahead." Wang Li said listlessly.
Not long after, the convoy seemed to have arrived in Xu County. On both sides of the official road, many farmers had already started working, and farming at sunrise seemed to be the mainstream of this era. Most people in Daqin seemed to be mainly two meals a day. Simple farmers did not seem to waste any extra grain, even if the grain was put into their own belly. The strength of two meals a day could satisfy their work, so they would definitely not have three meals a day.
However, the two meals this day were not rich. It was just some porridge made of corn kernels and some steamed buns made of mashed potatoes.
These farmers looked at the vast convoy and guessed that the nobles of the family came to the remote village of Xu County. Poverty restricted their imagination. They could not imagine that this was the frame of the First Emperor.
They didn't know that three people had already left behind the convoy that had just entered the city.
"Your Majesty, it's really unsafe for us to do this." Seeing the convoy ahead getting further and further, Li Chen was still trying hard to persuade the First Emperor.
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" The First Emperor glared at Li Chen and said unhappily.
"I am not afraid of being alone. The key is that I am afraid of being with you." Li Chen thought so.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Ying Yue looked at Li Chen and said seriously.
"Oh." Li Chen sighed. He knew that he could not change the First Emperor's idea, so he could only hope that Zhang Liang's evil dog did not follow.
After waiting for a long time and completely unable to see the convoy ahead, Li Chen and the other two walked out not far away. The First Emperor had already changed out of the dragon robe and wore a black brocade dress.
"Old man, can you ask about the road?" The First Emperor stood by the roadside and shouted to the old man who was working.
The old farmer who was working, heard someone calling him, quickly said that he had thrown the hoe in his hand, walked over and asked, "Foreigners, where are you going."
"We are going to the capital of South Korea, Yangdi County." asked the First Emperor.
Obviously, the First Emperor asked this intentionally. Yingchuan County was an old land in South Korea, and Yingchuan has been a big county since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In terms of prosperity, it can only be considered as a regular place and not a wealthy place, but the population here is the largest except for the imperial capital Xianyang.
The First Emperor asked this question, which was to test whether the people of Han were once looking for Han or Qin.
"I don't know the old farmer in Yangdi County, Korea, but I know the old farmer in Yangdi County in Yingchuan County, Daqin." The old farmer looked at the First Emperor and said.
"I was wronged. How did you get to Yangdi County of the Great Qin?" asked the First Emperor.
"We are Xu County. You keep walking along the official road. When the county town ahead is Yangdi." The old man took action and pointed to the direction where the convoy had just been marching.
"Thank you, my uncle." The First Emperor bowed his hand and said.
"You are a Korean nobleman, looking at your clothes and face."
"The old farmer just pointed out a way and didn't want to say much at first. But I still want to persuade you, now there is no South Korea. The Han people, the Chu people are all the people of the Qin Dynasty. We are living well now. Look at the corn and potatoes. These are all for us by the Qin Dynasty. Only in the Qin Dynasty can we have a full meal every meal. You people should live much better than our people, so why bother with the wind and rain?" The old farmer sat on the ground and persuaded him with great thought. Obviously, he regarded the three of the First Emperors as the survivors of the six countries.
"The old man thinks that life is better now than in the past." The First Emperor asked seriously. This was a very important answer for him. Although he had heard this answer from civil and military officials, it was the first time he had listened to the lowest voice today.
"That's, more than just good, it's much better."
"What was that day in the past? I was hungry and had a full meal, and I ate dry food when I was busy and had a thin food when I was free. But now, there is one in our village. If it weren't for a lazy man, everyone could support themselves and have a full meal every time. If I were diligent and not to mention full food, I would have a lot of surplus food at home. I'm not hiding it, don't look at the old man, I'm over fifty years old, this year I have two uncles for my seven-year-old grandson."
"This old land is fertile. It is mainly because it can be raised and willful." The old man said here.
When the First Emperor listened to the old man's self-report, a trace of benefits flowed out of his face. Obviously, this was the purpose of his personal visit.
Listen to the lowest level of sound.
