Great Qin Shi Empress

==·Han Xin·==

Ying Zheng subconsciously pulled Lin Qian to his side: "Except for a few ordinary households living here, it can almost be called a wilderness, how could anyone fight?"

He frowned and looked forward, but he seemed to hear some noise.

Ying Zheng is not a person who doesn't listen to advice. When she finds that there are indeed people arguing in front of her, she naturally doesn't want to take risks. Lin Qian likes to watch the excitement, but she has always been insensitive to the excitement of fighting that may hurt her at any time.

So after the two looked at each other, they prepared to go back to the carriage and wait for the meal.

but……

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian: "Go and see who is fighting in front of you. If you use a tool, ask someone to lock it up and send it to the local government."

Meng Tian nodded and sent the two of them back to the carriage before turning to look at the situation.

At this time, the chef also prepared the food, and Ying Zheng, Lin Qian and other ministers also began to eat quietly, preparing to leave as soon as possible after eating, hoping to arrive in the nearby counties and counties to rest as soon as possible.

Soon, Meng Tian came back and came to Ying Zheng to report the situation: "Your Majesty, although the few people in front did have a dispute, the two parties have always insisted on not doing anything, but just threatening each other with words."

Lin Qian put down her chopsticks and looked up, but saw that Meng Tian was accompanied by two people who looked like father and son.

The older man has a refined and gentle demeanor, and despite the scent of books, the sharpness in his eyes cannot be concealed; the younger man is just a seven or eight-year-old boy, who is cute as Yuxue, and his eyes are quite lively and clever, but...

Since there was no fight, why did Meng Tian bring the two of them here?

Ying Zheng obviously thought the same way, and his eyes fell on the two people behind Meng Tian early in the morning: "If no one was fighting just now, what happened to the noises heard by the widow? Also, who are these two people?"

Meng Tian turned sideways and pulled the elder to his side: "This person is also one of those people just now. He is originally from Huaiyin, but because he couldn't live in his hometown, he left his hometown to go to Xianyang to make a living, but unexpectedly when he passed by here When His Majesty passed by, he thought of recommending himself after hearing the news, but the local Guizhou leader was worried that he would offend His Majesty and did not want him to come, so the two sides clashed."

"As for the commotion just now..."

Meng Tian glanced at the elder with helplessness in his eyes, "Actually, he and the local Qianshou were gesticulating there with sticks. Those Guishous didn't know martial arts and didn't dare to violate the laws of Qin, so they didn't dare and couldn't hurt him. On the contrary, he has high martial arts skills, but he has no intention of hurting others, so..."

A picture involuntarily appeared in Lin Qian's mind——

The person in front of him and a group of Baihuo children who seem to think they are heroes after watching a TV series, fighting with each other with weapons?

This scene was so poisonous that Lin Qian subconsciously closed his eyes.

Ying Zheng glanced at her dumbfounded, and then looked at Meng Tian: "Since there was no fight, why did you bring this person in front of you?"

Meng Tian explained: "I just feel that this person is highly skilled in martial arts, his conversation is not like ordinary people, and he seems to have some understanding of the art of war, so..."

Lin Qian suddenly realized that Meng Tian was pity on his talents.

I just don't know how capable this person is, but Meng Tian, ​​who "has been more than three hundred miles away from the Huns", also looks at him with admiration.

Ying Zheng was obviously also curious: "Who is this person's name? Are you going to bring him back to Jiuyuan County?"

Meng Tian nodded: "Weichen has already discussed with him, and we are going to take him to Jiuyuan County to try him out first. If you really have the ability, it would be good to be a lieutenant directly under Weichen."

As for who's last name...

Meng Tian nodded to the other party and let him speak.

The other party did not show any timidity, and immediately saluted Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is from Huaiyin County, named Han Yu. In the early years, his family was also a local prominent family, but unexpectedly, his father died of gambling, and the family situation went from bad to worse. When Cao Min grew up, My relatives are dead, and the family has no money left, so I thought of going to Xianyang to make a living. But please believe me, Cao Min also read military books when he was young, and he will definitely live up to the love of General Meng."

After introducing himself, Han Yu lowered his head and looked at the child, "This is the dog Han Xin. Because his mother had dystocia during childbirth, he followed the grass people since he was a child, so the grass people went to Xianyang regardless of the people's obstruction, and worried that the dog would be bullied at home. They brought the people here together."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, men from the Chu land cannot make contributions locally. For the sake of the dog's future, the grass-roots people don't want to leave him in their hometown."

Yingzheng thought back for a while, and then remembered that the men in Chu who were deeply influenced by Confucianism did not think about making progress in order to obtain the position of officials.

He looked at Han Yu, a little curious: "Are you also implicated?"

Han Yu shook his head in embarrassment: "That's not true. The grassroots are familiar with military books but not good at housekeeping, so they never went to the academy and never signed up."

The lack of people in the Qin Dynasty was also a lack of civil servants. For military positions such as generals and captains, several people always competed for a position, but it was not the turn of the people from the six countries to compete for it.

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Meng Tian: "You consider his ability, if he is really capable, it is not a bad idea to give him the position of lieutenant general."

Meng Tian handed over should be.

Seeing Yingzheng's promise, Han Yu understood that as long as he was really talented and learned, his future would naturally be worry-free, so he took his son to thank him again and again.

Before Ying Zheng and Lin Qian finished their meal, Meng Tian took the father and son and left first.

Ying Zheng picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, but he didn't want to see Lin Qian staring straight at the back of Han Yu and the others leaving, with curiosity and love in his eyes, as if he knew him.

Ying Zheng was not very happy, frowned and coughed twice: "What are you looking at?"

Lin Qian's eyes were still in a daze, and he replied directly: "I'm looking at Han Xin! That's Han Xin!"

Ying Zheng paused, a little in disbelief: "You've been looking at that kid just now?"

Lin Qian: "???"

She was a little puzzled, "Who do I look at if I don't look at Han Xin?"

After a pause, Lin Qian thought of something, and couldn't help leaning towards Ying Zheng's direction: "Who do you think I'm looking at?"

Ying Zheng was amused, reached out and pressed her eyebrows, and pushed her forward.

Seeing that Lin Qian was still smiling, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Do you know Han Xin?"

Lin Qian sat up straight uninterestedly: "Knowing him doesn't seem like preparation. I just know him. Han Xin is a well-known historical figure. He also called out the three famous generals, who were known as the soldiers and war gods because they used soldiers like gods, and they were the influential figures in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties."

but……

She thought for a while and said, "In history, Han Xin had a very bad life when he was young. His family background seemed to be very poor, and he lived in his hometown Huaiyin until the Qin Dynasty fell. Others are unpopular because they eat at home. But his ability to lead troops in battle is beyond doubt. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, if Liu Bang did not have Han Xin to assist him, he would not be able to match Xiang Yu at all."

Ying Zheng frowned: "Sounds like a good skill, but he seems to be just a child now?"

Lin Qian had no choice but to say, "There is no other way. Not only is Han Xin a child, but Xiang Yu, who fought Liu Bang so hard that day, is also a child now."

It's impossible to meet too early.

Ying Zheng was thinking about other things: "According to what you said, Han Xin should be living in Huaiyin at this time, and his father, Han Yu, should have had some accident during his growth, so he would end up living in other people's homes in the future." the point?"

Lin Qian was stunned: "It should be?"

She recalled Han Yu's appearance and temperament, and felt that with such a father, Han Xin really shouldn't be reduced to what he will be in the future.

Ying Zheng asked again: "Now that Han Yu has brought Han Xin out of Huaiyin, he no longer experiences hardships, can he continue to grow into the soldier fairy and war god you mentioned?"

Lin Qian: "..."

She looked at Ying Zheng and said frankly for a while, "I don't know either."

Ying Zheng felt a little pity.

It would have been nice if he had met the adult Han Xin.

But after thinking about it, Han Yu looks like a dragon and a phoenix among people. With his teaching, Han Xin can go to the border to experience the life of the barracks since he was a child. When he grows up, he may not be worse than Han Xin who has been tempered by life, so he no longer thinks about it. .

After the two had lunch, they immediately ordered someone to pack it up and went straight into the carriage.

On the way, Ying Zheng kept his head down to deal with government affairs. Lin Qian was still looking at the scenery at first, but seeing Ying Zheng's busy appearance couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he simply started to deal with government affairs.

A few hours later, the group arrived at the county town.

Lin Qian personally went to the county sheriff's office to meet with him, but unexpectedly, he encountered trouble in this county for such a small matter that had never been overlooked before.

Before the tour, Yingzheng and the ministers of the DPRK and China determined the route and the cities they might pass through, and decided which county to rest every day, and also handed over the number of travelers to the counties to be stopped. Arrange a place to rest for the night.

But this time, because of the father and son Han Yu and Han Xin who happened to meet, when Lin Qian and the others arrived in this county, they found that the rooms they had prepared were not enough.

One is because the local sheriff has a staid personality and doesn’t know how to reserve one or two rooms just in case; the other is that the local economic conditions are not very good, so there is no room for more space: I heard that the sheriff even owns his own private house. contributed to appear.

When Meng Tian heard about this, he immediately went to Lin Qian and offered to make room for himself——

After all, he took the initiative to bring Han Xin and his son, and he must not let other people be affected by his sudden decision.

But Meng Tian needs to be responsible for the safety of the group, and he needs to take turns to watch the night with his soldiers at night. If he doesn't rest well at night, it may affect his actions during the day.

Lin Qian shook her head, and was about to say that she could discuss it with other people.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng, who had just left the house, heard this, and said directly: "Madam can live with the widow?"

Lin Qian choked for a moment, looking at Ying Zheng speechless.

But Meng Tian suddenly realized: "That's right, if Madam lives with His Majesty, won't the vacant room be vacated?"

==·sleeping·==

Lin Qian looked at Meng Tian speechlessly, she didn't believe that the young general who was in charge of Ying Zheng's safety all the year round would not know the real situation between herself and Ying Zheng.

And no surprise, when Lin Qian looked at him, Meng Tian really turned his eyes away.

Lin Qian also knew in her heart that this was actually the most suitable arrangement, and she was still on her way, and there was no better contraceptive method for the time being, so Ying Zheng wouldn't do anything to her because of Ying Zheng's temperament.

But she didn't know why she didn't want Ying Zheng to get what she wanted: "I remember that in order to prevent accidents, I also brought a lot of materials to build a military tent during this trip. Why don't I take out one or two to build in the yard, I..."

She was about to speak, but suddenly saw a small head growing at the gate of the yard.

After meeting Lin Qian's gaze, Han Xin, the owner of the little head, greeted them with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Marquis Gu Feng, General, hello."

Ying Zheng and Meng Tian turned their heads to look.

Han Xin stood up, pursing his lips and revealing two small dimples: "I accidentally overheard your conversation. That... Did the appearance of my father and I mess up your plans? If there is no place to live, we can do the same as before, Going out to stay at the inn."

Lin Qian was surprised for a moment, smiled and shook her head: "You can live at ease, we all have a place to live."

Han Xin didn't quite believe it, so he took a careful look at Ying Zheng and said carefully, "I've heard it all, you don't seem to be happy to live with His Majesty..."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian: "..."

Is this too embarrassing?

She looked at Han Xin helplessly, hesitated for a while and then said, "I'm not unwilling to live with His Majesty, I was just talking and playing with Your Majesty."

Han Xin's small eyes were full of great doubts, and he couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake for a while.

Lin Qian changed the subject with a smile: "Why are you here? Shouldn't it be time for dinner? Is your father not with you? Or are you lost?"

Han Xin's attention was instantly diverted: "No, my father asked me to come to General Meng and said that I have something to discuss with him."

Meng Tian was taken aback for a moment, then walked directly to Han Xin, turned around and said to Ying Zheng and Lin Qian, "Since Han Yu has something to ask for my minister, I will leave first."

After speaking, she looked at Lin Qian again: "If Madam needs help with moving things later, just ask someone to call me."

Lin Qian was speechless, and was about to refute when she met Han Xin's clear eyes: "..."

She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "No need, I don't have a few things, and I can quickly make room for Lin Mo later."

Meng Tian held back his laughter, and hurried away with Han Xin.

Ying Zheng took a step forward, walked to Lin Qian's side and said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, madam, why don't you vacate the room as soon as possible?"

Lin Qian turned her head and couldn't help but glared at him.

But the words have already been said, and she said it twice, she can't deny it.

Ying Zheng took the initiative to ask, "Do you need help from the widow?"

Lin Qian sighed: "I really don't have many things, and more things are placed in the package, and they will be packed soon."

After all, they will only stay in this place for one night. If they have to unpack all their luggage every time they arrive at a place, a lot of time will be wasted just packing their luggage along the way.

Totally unnecessary.

Every time you stop for a short time, it's almost enough to take some necessary things.

Ying Zheng nodded: "The widow is waiting for you in the room."

After speaking, he turned and went back to the room.

Lin Qian waited until Ying Zheng's back disappeared before her eyes, then she snorted, turned and entered her room.

After tidying up, Lin Qian first put his things in Ying Zheng's room and asked Lin Mo to help him tidy up.She went to adjust the travel personnel this time, and arranged for more suitable people to go to the house where she lived before.

After some fuss, Lin Qian returned to Ying Zheng's room.

It was time for supper.

After a day's journey, Lin Qian really didn't have much appetite, so he asked the cook to make a cold wild vegetable and boiled pork slices as an appetizer.After dinner with Ying Zheng and drank a glass of milk, Lin Qian took the glass and the toothbrush and tooth powder he had tossed out earlier to wash up.

Ying Zheng walked with her, but what he was holding was a glass of water, willow branches, and green salt.

While Lin Qian was brushing his teeth, Ying Zheng was watching suspiciously.

After she finished brushing her teeth, Ying Zheng asked, "What do you use to clean your teeth? Why does the widow look like a wooden stick with a lot of hair?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and said with a smile, "This is a toothbrush, specially selected wool is glued on."

……

After traveling to ancient times, Lin Qian discovered that the most unacceptable thing was not the lack of entertainment tools such as mobile phones and computers, but the lack of various daily necessities that are closely related to his life.

Other things are barely tolerable, but I have already developed the habit of brushing my teeth twice a day in my previous life, but I can't bear it.

So as early as a few days before the crossing, Lin Qian tried to ask Lin Mo to find some wool for him——

The first time I was looking for it was actually pig hair, but at this time the pig hair was black. After Lin Qian made a toothbrush with pig hair, he looked at it and saw that there was pig fat attached to it. The fur couldn't go down the mouth at all, so I finally switched to wool.

Wool is a little softer than pig hair, and it may not be clean enough when brushed, but it is quite friendly to the gums.

Lin Qian got used to it, and later toothbrushes were all made of wool.

……

After Lin Qian finished speaking, her eyes fell on the willow branches and green salt in Ying Zheng's hands, and she realized that the willow branches were still being used to clean her teeth at this time——

After breaking the willow branch from the middle, rub it against each other a few times, dip it in green salt, and put it in your mouth to chew. The fiber of the willow branch will take away the food residue in the teeth.

The only problem is that whether it is the bitter taste after the willow branch is crushed or the salty taste of the green salt, it is not very comfortable.

She looked up at Ying Zheng, hesitated for a moment: "I still have a new toothbrush ready, do you want it?"

Ying Zheng nodded decisively.

Lin Qian laughed, packed it up, and went to get the big bag in which he kept his daily necessities. After opening it, many daily necessities that are not common nowadays popped out, as well as a large handful of toothbrushes and a glass jar of tooth powder made by the royal doctor with traditional Chinese medicine. .

She directly grabbed three toothbrushes and handed them to Ying Zheng: "Toothbrushes need to be replaced frequently, so I prepared a lot. If you think the toothbrush is not working well, you can ask me to get a new one."

Ying Zheng nodded: "It seems that you didn't use green salt to brush your teeth before?"

Lin Qian was taken aback, turned around helplessly, brought another can of tooth powder, opened it, scooped some up with a spoon and put it on the brush head of Yingzheng's toothbrush.

……

By the time Ying Zheng finished brushing his teeth, Lin Qian had already put away his package.

Everyone else retreated, and soon, only Lin Qian and Ying Zheng were left sitting opposite each other in the room.

Lin Qian was a little nervous.

Ying Zheng went straight to the bed, sat down and looked up at her: "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Lin Qian met Ying Zheng's eyes, hesitated for a while and walked beside him.

Although it was not the first time for the two to sleep together, it was the first time they slept together while awake, and it was difficult for Lin Qian to be calm.

Ying Zheng acted calmly: "Are you sleeping in there?"

Lin Qian was stunned, and looked up at Ying Zheng: "Aren't women usually sleeping on the outside?"

"That's for the woman to be aware of her husband's sleeping status at any time. If the husband needs to drink water or wake up at night, he can find out in time." Ying Zheng looked at her, "Does the widow still lack someone to serve her?"

Lin Qian paused, and Ma Liu went to bed and lay down.

Ying Zheng went to bed right after him, and closed his eyes soon after the lights were turned off.

Lin Qian thought that she would not be able to sleep tonight, but she did not expect that lying next to Ying Zheng and listening to his even and powerful breathing, she would soon feel sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Ying Zheng opened his eyes, as if he was not used to the feeling of someone breathing beside him.

After hesitating, he reached out and grabbed Lin Qian's hand.

After a while, he watched Lin Qian's sleeping face soon enter the fragrance of dreams.

== · Border · ==

After sleeping together, the relationship between Ying Zheng and Lin Qian became much more harmonious.

Seeing the way these two get along before, some people might misunderstand their relationship, but after that night, even strangers who don't know the identities of the two will never misunderstand the two after seeing the atmosphere in which they get along. human relationship.

Moreover, the experience of sleeping together that night seemed to have broken some kind of shackles between the two of them. Later, when Lin Qian arranged the room again, she would no longer avoid Ying Zheng, but would directly arrange herself and Ying Zheng in the same room.

Ying Zheng is happy to see it succeed.

The group soon arrived at the first destination. Yingzheng took the ministers to inspect the people's livelihood in various places, inquired about the local files, and also asked the local people about their views on the officials.

If he meets an official who is highly praised by the people, Ying Zheng is not stingy and will directly promote him.

But at the same time, if you encounter officials who are reviled by the people, who can even speak out about corruption, violate the law, and make the people under their rule miserable, Yingzheng will also be quite decisive in his attack.

Along the way, more than two officials were beheaded by Ying Zheng's order.

Gradually, the news of Yingzheng's tour was always conveyed in advance to all counties and counties along the route, so that local officials could make preparations in advance, and even the account books and case files were reorganized.

but……

The officials can get the news, and the common people can also get the news.

After the officials got the news, they thought of erasing the immoral things they had done before. After the people knew about it, they would naturally want to protect the evidence and go directly to Ying Zheng to sue.

Even because of the various performances of the guilty officials, the people were ignited and more fighting spirit was ignited.

After Yingzheng killed more people than before.

Ying Zheng, whose reputation had improved, once again became a vicious image with a blue face and fangs in folklore.

But the surprise is that although the people are afraid of him, they also believe in him——

If they are really wronged, the people will believe for no reason that as long as they can convey their grievances to Ying Zheng, they will definitely get justice.

This phenomenon is quite interesting.

Sometimes Lin Qian heard people talk about the "image" that Ying Zheng imagined in the minds of the common people, and he always used it to make fun of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was quite angry at first.

But seeing that Lin Qian didn't take it seriously, but took it as an interesting thing, he was able to calm down and think about the advantages and disadvantages behind it.After realizing that this image would not affect his rule over the people, but instead make the people fear him more, Ying Zheng simply let it go——

After all, Ying Zheng is not of an approachable nature, and he would rather be respected by the people than to be loved by them.

……

According to Qin Shihuang's first tour in history, Yingzheng will turn back after arriving at Jitou Mountain this time.

On the way back to Huizhong, Changxin Palace will be built on the south bank of the Weishui River, which will be renamed Jimiao Palace after completion; roads will be built to Lishan Mountain, the front hall of Ganquan Palace will be built, and corridors will be built to connect Xianyang, and Chidao to all parts of the country will be built...

In the first year after Yingzheng ruled the world, except for this tour, he was basically engaged in construction.

But this time, because the cement road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County, Longxi County was completed ahead of schedule, the cement road from Xianyang to other cities has also been handed over to General Zhang Han, and several sections of road have been built.

So after Yingzheng arrived at Jitou Mountain, he didn't think about turning back, but continued to move forward and prepare to go to the county town of Longxi County.

Even, Ying Zheng planned to stay in Longxi County for a while and continue to Jiuyuan County.

This is actually a bit dangerous——

Longxi County and Jiuyuan County were the first line of defense for the Qin Dynasty to defend the Yuezhi tribe and the Xiongnu tribes. Although they did not fight every day, they were indeed more dangerous than other places.

But at this time, most of the Yue clan had been maimed by the Huns, and there was no great threat. Although the Huns had established the Huns Royal Court under the leadership of Touman Shanyu, they had never been unified. Except for the annoying harassment and the burning, killing and looting of the local people, it did not have much influence on the rule of the Qin Dynasty;

Second, there are hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers stationed in these two places. Even if the Yuezhi and Huns come to plunder, it will not endanger the Yingzheng in the rear.

Therefore, Ying Zheng finally decided to go to the county town of Longxi County.

He wanted to see how much the cement road could shorten the distance, and also wanted to see what these nomads who often harassed the border people looked like.

……

The group soon arrived at the county town of Longxi County.

After a night's rest, Ying Zheng began to wander around the county town under the leadership of the local sheriff.

In order to see the lives of the local people more clearly, everyone travels in plain clothes——

Although such a large group of people appeared in such a mighty manner that it was impossible to be low-key and unobtrusive at all, it was indeed much more convenient than Yingzheng's big battle and directly going on tour with the emperor's specifications.

And it may be because there are frequent wars in this place, and local officials often appear, so the people have long been accustomed to officials traveling.

Apart from being curious about why so many new faces appeared this time, not many people paid attention to them.

Ying Zheng liked this feeling of freedom, and he was in a good mood walking along the way.

Until, he saw a few foreigners in the market whose clothes, skin color and appearance were very different from those of the Qin people.

Ying Zheng frowned: "Those people are also the people of Longxi County?"

The sheriff was taken aback for a moment, followed Ying Zheng's gaze and broke out in a cold sweat: "No, I'm not sure."

Ying Zheng looked back at him: "Not sure?"

The governor of Longxi County hurriedly explained: "It is true that some foreigners settled in Longxi County, and they also acquired the status of Qin people. But because Longxi County is adjacent to Yueshi and Wusun, the people on the border often trade with each other. Sun needs the vegetables and food grown by the people in the Central Plains, and our people also need the cattle and sheep they raise.”

"In the beginning, Weichen also tried to prohibit the transaction between the two parties, but later found that it was impossible to prohibit it."

"Even if the ministers expressly prohibit it, the people who are greedy for meat can always find opportunities to trade with the people of the Yuezhi, Wusun and other tribes."

"In the beginning, I didn't know that they were still dealing in private. It was only after several incidents in which the people of Longxi County were coaxed and taken away by Yuezhi, Wusun and other tribes with malicious intentions. know about it."

"In order for similar cases to happen again, Wei Chen had to issue some temporary identity certificates to some civilians of these two tribes, allowing them to come to trade with beef and mutton." The sheriff smiled bitterly, "Put the transaction on your own Under the nose, the chance of accidents can be greatly reduced. Otherwise, some people who can't afford meat may do something for that bite..."

After finishing speaking, the county guard looked at Yingzheng anxiously: "This minister is guilty, please punish him severely!"

Ying Zheng didn't answer, his eyes fell on the common people who traded with foreigners, and after looking at them for a while, he said, "The beef and mutton sold by those foreigners are very cheap?"

The sheriff was taken aback, and quickly replied: "They live on the grassland and live by the water. Every household of ordinary people raises hundreds of cattle and sheep, and they eat meat almost every day. But eating meat every day seems not a good thing. On the contrary, these foreigners are very fond of the vegetables and fruits of the Central Plains, and sometimes they are even willing to exchange a sheep for some delicious fruits, so they are very popular among the people.”

Fruit is not worth much these days—

At this time, the fruits had not been domesticated, and no one fertilized the fruit trees, so most of the fruits tasted bad and were not very popular with the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Contrary to fruit, a sheep can be sold for a lot of money.

These foreigners are willing to exchange valuable mutton for worthless fruits, so it is no wonder that the people are flocking to them.

Ying Zheng couldn't help thinking about whether there was any conspiracy in it, so his face became much more gloomy.

Lin Qian knew the reason: "Because foreigners don't eat fruits and vegetables all the year round, their physique will deteriorate like those of our people in the Central Plains who don't eat meat all the year round."

Seeing Ying Zheng looking over, she explained, "If you don't eat fruits and vegetables all the year round, your body will be deficient in vitamins, prone to anemia, and often get sick. But for those nomads, the biggest harm of not eating fruits and vegetables should be... easy constipation .”

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it: "..."

Lin Qian looked at the sky: "It's like when there are few vegetables in winter, many people are prone to this problem."

How happy were Sun Taicang and the soldiers when they learned that beet leaves were edible?

Ying Zheng didn't know about this, because even in winter, he would not be short of vegetables and fruits to eat.

Lin Qian glanced at the few foreigners who were negotiating prices with them, and added: "We feel that these foreigners have lost money by exchanging cattle and sheep for some vegetables and food, but in the eyes of these foreigners, maybe they still feel You took advantage of yourself."

Just like the people in the Central Plains live by planting, and vegetables and food are not very valuable, the nomadic people live by breeding and grazing, and their beef and mutton are not very valuable.

After knowing the reason, Ying Zheng looked at these foreigners more peacefully.

He turned his head to look at Meng Tian: "Is there any phenomenon of people trading with foreigners in Jiuyuan County? The local governor also allows foreigners to enter and trade?"

Meng Tian nodded after thinking about it for a while: "I did see foreigners in the market."

The Sheriff of Longxi County breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Ying Zheng nodded and said no more.

On the contrary, the few foreigners noticed that someone was staring at them, and looked back curiously.

Ying Zheng didn't take it seriously at first, but before he was about to lift his foot to leave, his eyes accidentally met with a ten-year-old boy next to the foreigners.

With just one glance, Ying Zheng frowned: the child's eyes were too similar to his own when he was young.

The same fierceness, the same ambition, and the same indifference.

Ying Zheng was not bloodthirsty.

Even though he knew that the two people fighting for the world after the fall of the Qin Dynasty were named Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Ying Zheng didn't think about finding them out and killing them in advance.

Because he knows very well that as long as the Qin Dynasty does not perish, no matter how good these two people are, they will not be able to threaten his rule.

But for this kid in his early teens...

For a moment, Ying Zheng felt murderous.

Lin Qian followed Ying Zheng's line of sight, met the child's gaze, and was immediately startled: the child's eyes were extremely fierce, like an extremely fierce and extremely calm wolf.If it weren't for his too young appearance to reduce the cruelty in his eyes, she even suspected that she would be frightened by a child in his early ten years.

just like……

Lin Qian turned to look at Ying Zheng: The child's eyes were like a weakened version of Ying Zheng.

It's just that Ying Zheng's eyes were a little more determined and domineering. The child didn't know what was going on, but there was a bit of ferocity and despair hidden in his eyes.

Meng Tian also saw the child.

Then, he said with a bit of astonishment: "Why do I feel that the child seems to have seen it before..."

Everyone looked at Meng Tian in unison.

== Mutual market ==

Meng Tian was watched by everyone, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say: "I, Weichen, I'm not sure..."

Ying Zheng looked at him: "First tell me when and where you saw this child."

Seeing Ying Zheng's cautious attitude, Meng Tian didn't care about the uncertainty in his heart: "I don't think I have seen this child before, but if I remember correctly, this child is the same as the child I have seen before. Touman Chanyu...about six to seven points similar."

Ying Zheng paused: "Touman Shanyu?"

Isn't that the leader of the Huns?

As a monarch of a country, it is impossible for Yingzheng not to pay attention to the countries and nomadic peoples who live next to his own country, and recently, this Touman Shanyu is his focus.

Because this Touman Chanyu established the Huns royal court.

Although the unification of the Huns has not been completed, it is clear that this Touman Shanyu has the ambition to make all the Huns tribes bow down to him.

However, after paying attention to it for a period of time, Ying Zheng didn't take this Touman Shanyu to heart anymore——

He didn't think Touman Chanyu would have any impact on Daqin's rule.

Because this is not a qualified king.

This Touman Chanyu married several Yan clans (the wives of the Xiongnu Shanyu) successively, but the original wife, the Yan clan, died of dystocia after giving birth to the prince, leaving only one child; He doesn't like the few Yan families, so the prince's position is barely stable, and he himself is quite capable. It is said that he is the best among his brothers.

However, when the prince was five or six years old, Touman Shanyu married another Yan family, and this Yan family was quite popular with Touman.

Immediately afterwards, the prince's status plummeted.

Ying Zheng didn't have any opinion on this Touman Shanyu liking a certain Yan family, but because he liked a certain woman, he ignored the originally very popular and good enough prince without warning and preparation, and wanted to make a shadow for this Yan family The way children pave the way that I haven't seen anywhere...

Anyway, wait for someone to give birth to the child, and raise it for a few years to make sure that child is really good?

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the child.

Considering the prince's age, Ying Zheng already had a good idea of ​​the identity of the child in front of him.

……

Lin Qian hadn't recovered yet.

But after finding that Ying Zheng looked at the child with more serious eyes, Lin Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration——

[It looks like Touman Shanyu by six to seven points, either his son or his nephew. 】

【And the most likely one is his son. 】

But among all the sons of Touman Chanyu, who is capable enough to attract Ying Zheng's attention?

Lin Qian immediately thought of someone——

[This child will not be the one who completed the unification of the Huns after killing his father, established a veritable Huns royal court regime, and expanded territories everywhere. After his death, he brought threats to the Han Dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years The Xiongnu Chanyu Modun, right? 】

[But if this child is really Mao Dun, how could he appear in this time?
