Chapter 84 The happiest farmer in Daqin
The unprecedented success of the Hundred Kingdoms Conference was also a great reward for the Qin Dynasty. Under Li Chen's various magical operations, the Qin Dynasty paid far less than the previous years, but the gains were far greater than those in previous years.
Of course, compared to the Great Qin Dynasty, the envoys of the hundred countries were a little confused and always felt something was wrong there. Although the whole trip was good for food and drink, why did the things I took back this year have been much less than in previous years?
Li Chen's achievements over the past year have been recognized by the First Emperor. Even the First Emperor sometimes thinks that it would be better if Fusu could do this.
The First Emperor was undoubtedly a hero. He hoped that his heirs could make achievements that surpassed him. Obviously, Fusu could not.
"Father, I want to..."
In Xianyang City, Zheng Fusu of Afang Palace came up with his own ideas. According to the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, when the Chinese New Year is about to be held, Fusu, as the eldest son, should be staying in the Qin Dynasty in the palace.
But Li Chen was recently studying something called bicycle, which is also a product of that science. Fusu’s interest in science is far greater than that of Confucianism.
"Go, it's good to learn something. Just remember to come back on New Year's Eve." The First Emperor said calmly.
Shihuang liked Fusu's quick and studious attitude from the bottom of his heart.
In the eyes of Emperor Shi, although Li Chen was lazy, he was indeed a person with real skills. Momo Fusu's teacher was called a lower-level teacher.
In recent days, the snow has become heavier and heavier. Everyone in Lijiazhuang has retreated back to the house, and the old wife and daughter-in-law are nesting on the warm kang.
Charcoal was burning in the stove, and Liuzi and Zhao Que surrounded the stove, and a few sweet potatoes were roasted on it.
"Brother, our family is so deserted." Liuzi looked at the big men in front of him and said.
Now the village is full of laughter and joy of reunion, but the largest yard is deserted. The servants have prepared the cost of the New Year, leaving these idle men.
Li Chen was lying in the study and studying the manufacturing of bicycles. Based on Li Chen's description, Liu Zi made a bicycle model with bamboo strips.
"Oh, is there a mistress missing?" Li Chen sighed and replied.
"Brother, when will you marry the princess home?" Liuzi asked again.
"I think so, but her father doesn't agree." Li Chen said.
"Or what if the raw rice is cooked?" Zhao Que said.
"I want to do it too, but my strength doesn't allow it." Li Chen said.
Just take the tiger girl and you may be able to determine who is better than who, the most important thing is that you are afraid that the First Emperor will draw his sword and kill people.
During the Chinese New Year, apart from the chicken, duck, fish and meat I bought, there were more things on Li Chen’s dining table that were not even available to Daqin.
Australian lobsters are something that only rich people can eat even in later generations. You should know that Daqin is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Australia.
A few days ago, it was the day when Li Chen entered the earth's space. This time the landing point was a fishery market. In recent times, the landing point has become more and more casual. If it falls in this aquatic market, there is probably nothing worth plundering except for satisfying the speed of speech.
"It smells so good, it's good to follow the boss, and you can eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
The big cow looked at the table full of delicious food and swallowed.
Before Daqin had no sweet potatoes and potatoes, it was a luxury to be able to eat enough, let alone eat such delicious food.
Big bull, this guy is really afraid of hunger.
"Oh, this table must be a guest." Wang Li walked over in a coat made of unknown skin and looked over the wind and snow. From a distance, this guy looked like a blind bear.
"Teacher, it smells so good." Fusu was followed by Wang Li.
One in front and the other behind, the tall Wang Li happened to block Fusu behind him. Li Chen knew that the two men were designated to be the one who came to catch the meal.
"The big black blind man from there." Zhao Que looked at Wang Li's clothes and laughed.
"What do you know? The boss is called fur, worn by rich people." Wang Li said unconvincedly.
"What rich people, our blind bears in the mountains are wearing this way. They even shed their hair in one go." Du Shu touched Wang Li and blew the hair stained with his hands.
"Brother Li, you're so good. If you want to lie into the snow, it's really scary." Liu Zi said afterwards.
"Hahaha."
A burst of laughter came from the room, and it seemed that it was everyone's fun to confront Wang Li.
After drinking and eating, Li Chen called Du Bishu.
Since Du Bishu came to Lijiazhuang, he has quit the bad habit of gambling. He has been helping Suzhou with materials in various countries some time ago. This person has done things clearly and clearly organizedly and logically, and is a talent who can entrust things.
"It's the New Year, let's send some things to the merchants." Li Chen said.
"Mr. Marquis, looking at the entire Xianyang, we have already counted the lives of our village. We can give you something to the end of the mien, but we must not give you too much." Du Bishu reminded.
Li Chen knew in his heart that Du Bishu was right. People’s hearts are always greedy. You can distribute things, but you must grasp the size. While making the farmer grateful, he cannot develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing.
"One pound of pork per mouthful."
"Each mouthful of white sugar is one pound."
"Each mouthful of salt is one pound."
Porks are all fat pigs raised in the farm, and Li Chen doesn't like to eat pork. Although pork has been castrated now, the meat quality has been greatly improved, but compared to pork, Li Chen prefers to eat beef.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and the recyclable beef prepared by Yingyue is no longer enough. Just a few days ago, at Li Chen’s warning, another cow in Lijiazhuang fell to death.
This is the benefit of the privileged class. As long as you want, there is always a way.
As for the fine salt and sugar, it is also produced by Lijiazhuang itself. With the support of Lichen technology, Lijiazhuang can be the first to the Qin Dynasty.
"Brother, why do we have a lot left if we send things according to population? " Liuzi muttered. Seeing so many things coming out of his warehouse, Liuzi, a wealthy ghost, felt very distressed.
"Mr. Marquis is encouraging childbirth."
"Think about it, if the neighbor's collection is half more than you, then do you want to have a baby in the coming year?" Du Bishu explained to Liuzi.
It is so bad to deal with smart people, and there is no suspense in his eyes.
"Clang, Clang, Clang."
"The Marquis has sent the things, and they have come out to get the things."
The old friend beat the gong and shouted in the village.
At the entrance of the village, under the old locust tree, hundreds of people were standing there in the snow.
"Baji,Baji."
"We eat the marquis and drink the marquis. We take the marquis' grace, and our descendants are all from the Li family. When we serve the marquis, our sons will serve the marquis' sons, and our grandsons will also serve the marquis' grandsons."
"If there is an ungrateful person in ours, don't blame me for being the first to spare him." The old lady squatted on the millstone and shouted, while smoking a dry tobacco.
