Chapter 158 Respect the World (End of Volume 1)
The meat stewed with thirteen spices also gave them a long aftertaste. Unfortunately, it was only a small piece, which was not enough to eat, but they also knew that if each person had a big Bowl, enough to eat. With the number of Zhao people in Handan, how much meat must be stewed?
But the taste is indeed very good. Even if you don’t eat meat, it is quite satisfying to drink a bowl of soup.
This meat must have been stewed with refined salt and thirteen spices at the same time. It has no astringent taste, only the pure saltiness and the strong aroma brought by thirteen spices.
Besides, when the briquettes were burning in the furnace, they gave them a different feeling from the stone briquettes they had used before. There was not much odor or soot, and the fire was very stable.
If this thing can be used in winter in the future, how much firewood will be saved?
Group after group of Zhao people came to the stage to see the tables, chairs and benches, and tasted salt and tofu. They were all common things in later generations, but to these Zhao people they were extremely novel things.
After seeing that hundreds of Zhao people had come to the stage, the county guard said: "These tables, chairs, benches, tofu, thirteen incense, and honeycomb briquettes were all made by Li Nian and dedicated to your majesty. Your majesty feels that the world is not easy and the people's livelihood is difficult." Due to the hardship, today all the people are given the opportunity to enjoy themselves together, according to your Majesty’s order:”
The county governor said seriously: “Tables, chairs and benches. , everyone can make it every day, everyone can sit on it, the methods of making tofu, thirteen incense, honeycomb briquettes, etc. will be spread to the world, and everyone can use it."
After saying this, the county said. Shoucai said: "This fine salt will be spread throughout the world. Its price will not be higher than today's salt, and everyone can eat it!"
The county governor was completely following the decree from Xianyang, but he didn't quite understand why the decree required him to tell the people that these things were made by Li Nian. Wouldn't it be more popular to win the hearts of the people by saying that they were made by His Majesty?
Perhaps Li Nian has a close relationship with His Majesty, and it is not necessarily true that they are the same young master...
After hearing what the county guard said, whether it was Zhao Ren who was trying to sit and eat on the stage, or Tai The Zhao people who were watching were silent for a while. Suddenly, several people in the crowd shouted with all their strength: "Long live your Majesty!"
Led by these people, other Zhao people also began to shout: "Long live your Majesty!"
A group of Zhao people began to kneel down and kowtow towards the southwest, where Xianyang is, which is Tai The county guard on the stage and the Qin soldiers guarding the platform also knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live your Majesty!"
The Zhao prisoner who was pardoned today also shouted with the crowd.
Although the salt needs to be bought, the tables, chairs, benches, tofu, thirteen incense, and briquettes are real good things, which is beneficial to them, which means that they have indeed inherited the King of Qin...
No, it’s the kindness of Emperor Qin!
At this moment, shouts came from other directions in Handan City. The content of the shouts was the same as what they shouted. They were all shouting "Long live your Majesty!", and the sound shook the whole Handan.
Not far from the county guard's group, the window of a house was opened, and an old man stood in front of the window and looked over. After a long sigh, he shook his head.
After today, even if there was a deep hatred between Zhao people and Qin, a lot of it will disappear. Will Zhao people who no longer hate Qin return to Zhao again?
This question has an answer in the old man's heart.
The king of Qin was so clever. He took advantage of him to call himself emperor, claiming that he wanted to celebrate the whole world and be kind to the people of the world. In fact, he was trying to win the hearts of the people.
As for the people, even if there is great hatred, even if some Zhao people are unwilling to let go, more Zhao people will think about living a good life in the future and living well instead of being immersed in revenge all the time.
The same is true for Zhao and Handan, and the same is probably true for Chu, and the same is true for Yan, Han, and Wei...
When the people of the Six Kingdoms put aside the hatred of Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms, then the Six Kingdoms will be truly destroyed.
Because the people all believed in King Qin and became the people under his rule, who would want to return to the old country?
In Qindi, the county where Yahe Nao is located, they are taking their families to watch a competition. It is a competition between the new plow and the old plow currently used in Da Qin.
This competition is larger than the competition in Liuying Palace in Xianyang, and there are more oxen and plows participating in the competition, so the effect can be more intuitive.
When they saw that the new plow only required one person, one ox and one plow, but its plowing efficiency was not much worse than that of the old plow, the people of Qin who were watching let out bursts of exclamations. If you want the people to quickly accept something, you don't have to boast that it doesn't exist on the earth or rarely see it in the sky, but show it to them directly, compare it with old things, and let them see the effect directly.
Now we can see that with this new plow in the future, they will be able to plow more land and grow more food. Your Majesty has also reduced their corvee and taxes, and the family's food storage will definitely be more. Get up, these days are going to get better and better, there is hope.
At the end of the competition, the county magistrate who was presiding over the competition smiled and said: "Have you, fellow villagers, clearly seen the advantages of this new plow? Although this plow was made by Li Nian and dedicated to your majesty, if there is no such thing as your majesty, How can we see it given to us today? This is Your Majesty’s favor!”
After the county magistrate finished speaking, Nao, who knew the county magistrate's intention, took the lead in kowtowing and shouted: "Thank you for your grace, your majesty, long live your majesty!"
Other Qin people also kowtowed after Nao and shouted: "Thank you for your grace, long live your Majesty!"
Even the children of the Qin people here followed the elders and shouted in immature children's voices.
Unlike the Zhao people in Handan, these Qin people are more sincere. Your Majesty not only gave them glory and face, but also gave them substantial benefits. How can you not support such a king? ?
Similar things happened almost everywhere in the Qin Dynasty. On the first day of December, the day Ying Zheng proclaimed himself emperor, his prestige reached a terrifying level in the world.
Although some people are reluctant and do not want to see this scene, under the overwhelming trend, it is unstoppable.
Seeing this scene, some knowledgeable people also felt that the world had really changed. Qin wanted to unify the six countries not only militarily, but also in terms of governance.
Maybe it’s time to make a move and go to Xianyang to have a look.
Look at what the Xianyang Examination set by the King of Qin is, look at the paper, look at who Li Nian is who made these things, and look at the demeanor of the King of Qin who dares to call himself the emperor. .
In Xianyang, in the palace of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was giving a banquet to all the ministers.
It is not accurate to say that the ministers are ministers. Many of them have no official status. God also rewarded me today. The sun is shining brightly, neither hot nor cold, which is just right.
Li Nian was still working as a photographer when he saw Ying Zheng getting up from the dragon chair that had just been made, holding up a sapphire wine cup and saying to everyone present: "If there is no The ancestors of the Qin Dynasty, I and the Qin Dynasty could not reach this day, this cup should be dedicated to all the ancestors!”
The emperor stood up. Others who dared not sit down also stood up with wine glasses. When Ying Zheng shouted "Respect the ancestors!", everyone also solemnly said "Respect the ancestors!", together with Ying Zheng. Pour the wine on the floor.
The first glass of wine was poured like this, and a maid immediately came forward to fill it for everyone. Ying Zheng said again: "This cup should be dedicated to all the ministers. Your contribution is indispensable, and you will also have to work hard in the future. Sir, I hope you and I will usher in an unprecedented dynasty and an unprecedented world.”
My ministers! He raised the wine cup again and said in unison: "I will do my best for Your Majesty and the Qin Dynasty!"
After finishing the glass of wine, Ying Zheng raised the wine cup that was filled again: " This cup is a tribute to the world, hoping that the Qin Dynasty will be immortal and that China will not decline!"
'Do you want to respect the world? ’
Looking at the First Emperor and the Dukes of the Qin Dynasty on the mobile phone screen, Li Nian secretly thought in his heart: 'Where will the Qin Dynasty go, and where will the China of this world go? ’
