my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 270
Zhao Ying imitated the movement of his mother in the previous life to put on a quilt, tearing and spreading out the cotton wool in his hand, and set an example for Mi Ji and his wives and concubines.

"The quilts and padded jackets made are light, warm and comfortable..."

Listening to Zhao Ying's description, including Mi Ji, these female family members who are proficient in female reds are already eager to try, and immediately brought the cotton that has been plucked, and went back to the backyard together.

Let the servants hold the lights and start experimenting with enthusiasm.

Mi Ji and Wang Nan were facing each other, making quilts, while Yu Ji and Li Shu were cooperating in making padded jackets.Yueji and the other concubines were there to help.

Compared with the women of the Central Plains, these Yuezhi women, female red craftsmanship is relatively average, because their clothes are relatively rough, and they only need simple sewing, and the main work of their Yuezhi women is not this. Instead, they served livestock, boiled milk tea, and tanned leather goods.

However, after marrying Zhao Ying, these skills were basically abolished.

Now, there is only the role of laying hands.

Later, Yue Ji was more clever, seeing that she couldn't get her hands in, she just took a ball of cotton, ran to the side, and tried to spin cotton, but holding a ball of cotton wool, how easy was it to spin it into silk?
He was so busy that he was either torn off or tangled up. After a busy day, he was sweating profusely and failed to spin the cotton thread he wanted. Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"You can't spin like this. The cotton wool is too soft to bear the force. Why don't you twist the cotton wool into long strips first..."

Although he was skeptical, but after entering Xianyang, her husband's various miraculous performances had already made Yue Ji have an inexplicable expectation for her husband, so she immediately rubbed a few strips seriously.

Then, there it is!

Looking at the cotton sliver in her hand, like a silkworm cocoon, following her movements, it turned into an oval mallet, Yue Ji couldn't help showing an unconcealable smile on her face.

The movements of the hands became more and more proficient, and even the raised arms had the beauty of Yuezhi's dance.

Pleasant to the eye.

Her actions quickly attracted everyone's attention. Even Mi Ji, Wang Nan and the others couldn't help but stop what they were doing and came over to watch.

Can really spin!
Mi Ji leaned over, squatted there, inspected it repeatedly, and then nodded with certainty.

"It's thicker than silk, but it feels very soft to the touch. After being woven into cloth, it should be very soft..."

After finding the knack of spinning, everyone's enthusiasm was a little high, especially for these women from the Yue family. Anyway, they don't have a few chances to serve the bed every month, and they don't know the characters of the Central Plains, so everyone is happy to spin together. Spinning, talking, being a female celebrity.

It's more cheerful.

As for Zhao Ying, he went back to his study.

As usual, the official affairs are handled first, and Hexi County is already on the right track. Now Hexi County is full of talents.

In Dunhuang, Zhang Han was in charge, with Zhang Cang and Ji Bochang as assistants.

On Wuwei's side, Xiao He is in charge and Wang Li is in charge.

Although Zhangye and Jiuquan were not part of their team, they were originally able ministers in the court, and they handled local affairs step by step, so it was no problem.

What's more, Zhangye also has Meng Zhan, who has a calm temperament and delicate workmanship, and the white bamboo shoots in Jiuquan are also doing well.It is Zhao Ying's hard-core team, who thoroughly implements Zhao Ying's policy intentions, so even if the two county magistrates occasionally deviate, there will be no major problems.

To his surprise, after Li Zuoche's job was robbed by Liu Bang, he stayed in Hexi instead and helped him train a cavalry army composed of Qin people and Yuezhi tribes.

There are about 5000 people.

From Chen Ping's letter, it can be seen that the performance of this cavalry is quite respected.

Another thing worthy of attention is Tuntian.

In order to promote the development of Hexi County, Xiao He, the magistrate of Wuwei County, first proposed to organize the soldiers to gather farmland after training, and allocate half of all output to subsidize military use and increase the salary of the soldiers.

The extra income, in addition to being handed over to the national treasury as taxes, is also collected in the county government treasury to support various expenditures in the county and promote various constructions.

After getting Zhao Ying's approval, soon, other counties followed suit.

In the first half of this year, the weather was smooth and the weather was good, but this alone reduced the financial pressure of Hexi County a lot, and now it can be regarded as entering a virtuous circle.

The chief officials of all counties are holding back their energy to develop the strength of their jurisdictions.

Construct water conservancy and encourage agriculture and mulberry.

Even, very tacitly began to build roads between counties.It coincided with Liu Bang's actions in Yanqi.

During their time following Zhao Ying, one of the words they heard the most was: Roads are the veins of the country. If roads are blocked, government orders will not flow smoothly and troops will be difficult to reach. The place we occupy is a vain enclave!

Zhao Ying is very satisfied with the development status of Hexi.

Speaking of which, a lot of talents, in Hexi, they are all great talents, but there is no way, now it is a back road that I have prepared for myself, so I have to do this for the time being, and the right is to train them.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ying just replied to Chen Ping's letter.

"The education of casting the soul of the army must be unremitting, especially in the army and in the school. Weapons that cannot be controlled in their own hands are not weapons, but sharp weapons. Talents that cannot be used by themselves are not talents, but Scourge!"

Zhao Ying absolutely couldn't tolerate it, so he created a group of rebels for himself to send strength to the enemy in the opposite direction.

Whoever has a problem there has made a basket for himself, and he will sacrifice his head to the flag!

……

What about newlyweds?

That night, Zhao Ying stayed at Li Shu's place again, and it was a beautiful night. Needless to say, the next morning, a refreshed Zhao Ying took Zhui Gu to the palace as usual.

"Ziying met His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson—"

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Ziying standing at the gate, bowing his hands to him with a smile.With a flash in Zhao Ying's eyes, he jumped off the horse and returned the salute with a gentle smile.

"Uncle so early today—"

"Your Highness, you can call me Ziying. Although we belong to the same clan, we are about the same age. Calling me Uncle makes us look born..."

Ziying had a gentle smile and was humble and polite.

Zhao Ying didn't know why he was called uncle according to his seniority, but since this guy repeatedly emphasized this point, he just happened to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.

To be honest, I also find it awkward to call someone who is not a few years older than me Uncle.

"General Ziying—"

Zhao Ying did not insist this time, and greeted again with a smile.Seeing that Zhao Ying finally changed his mind, Ziying couldn't help being overjoyed, and smiled back.

"His Royal Highness—"

Talking, the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

Zhao Ying has always had good intentions for this member of the Qin royal family who was dissatisfied with the situation of his puppet King Qin and was able to kill Zhao Gao with tricks when he was completely at a disadvantage.

At least it shows that he has quite a bit of talent and means!

In the past few days, every morning, this man would deliberately create an opportunity to wait outside the palace gate, and his intention to get closer was already very obvious, so Zhao Ying naturally had no intention of refusing the door.

Today, the inflection point in history is approaching, and who knows how it will develop in the future.

He is not afraid of the abundance of talents in the Qin royal family, and he is not afraid that if they shine, they will take away his brilliance. Now he is only afraid that the blood relatives of the Qin royal family are all embroidered pillows, a pile of straw bags.

When blood relatives fight, that is after the world is at peace. If there is a conflict in troubled times, blood relatives are the strongest and most reliable.

Even the weird Uncle Xiang in the history of later generations was only because he was too stupid, not purely because he wanted to cheat Xiang Yu.

After bidding farewell to Ziying, Zhao Ying also threw the horse to Zhuigu, and went to the Imperial Garden to find His Majesty the First Emperor with ease.If there were no accidents, at this point, regardless of whether he practiced Tai Chi or not, the First Emperor would habitually hang out in the back garden.

It can be regarded as one of the few achievements of Zhao Ying during this period of time.

"Father, Mother—"

As soon as they entered the imperial garden, they saw Emperor Shi Huang and Concubine Zheng, each wearing a large suit of exercise clothes, standing under the shade of a tree admiring the rows of grapes that grew green leaf buds one by one.

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Ying's face, and he came forward to say hello with a smile.

"Come on, look, these grapes—"

The First Emperor waved at him with a smile, just like an old man next door, without the slightest trace of his majestic and domineering demeanor in the past.

"Yes, yes, they are all alive. By this time next year, we will be able to eat sweet and sour grapes. I also have an ancient recipe from the Western Regions. We can use these grapes to brew a kind of The wine is red in color, it is said that the taste is not bad, when the time comes, I can invite my parents to taste it..."

As Zhao Ying said, he couldn't help but glanced at the cucumber again.

In just a few days, the vines had already covered the shelves and hung cucumbers with small yellow flowers on them. The milky white thorns were covered with crystal dewdrops. Under the sunshine, there was an indescribable sense of freshness.

"Don't worry about it. For breakfast today, I have someone prepare the cucumber and egg soup you mentioned. Let's taste it together later..."

When Shi Huang saw this brat, he was still thinking about his cucumber, so he couldn't help but complain.

This stinky boy knows how to harm his own cucumber.

While talking and joking, the three of them stood in the open space in the middle of the garden, facing the rising sun, and slowly opened their posture.For Zhao Ying, today's Taijiquan is just a daily routine for strengthening the body, but for Shi Huangdi and Concubine Zheng, it is a means to adjust the body and maintain health.

Even if you can't practice the sense of qi, you can't relax.

Speaking of which, Emperor Shihuang is only 48 years old this year, and he was less than [-] years old. In his previous life, he was really not that old. Many people are not even grandpas at this age. Woolen cloth.

Even if it is placed on the construction site, it is a good age to contribute.

Zhao Ying felt that at such an age, unless the first emperor in history suddenly suffered from terminal illnesses like those in later generations, it should be possible to save them.

"Father, mother, how are you feeling recently? When you practice boxing, do you feel that your body is warm, there is a warm current..."

After finishing the wash, Zhao Ying couldn't help asking again.

"No—but, during this period of time, I feel much lighter..."

Shi Huang replied with a smile, and then comforted Zhao Ying with a smile.

"Don't worry, I have you to help me. I feel much better recently, and I should be able to last for a few more years—"

Having said this, Emperor Shihuang suddenly asked again.

"How about it, has there been any movement over there recently..."

Zhao Ying: ...

Father, your old man has given birth to so many sons, don't you understand that this kind of thing really depends on fate, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!
Seeing his expression, the old couple knew that there must be nothing going on again!

"You kid, really..."

Concubine Zheng gave Zhao Ying a reproachful look, then got up and greeted the two of them for dinner.

The weather is neither hot nor cold, Shi Huangdi and Concubine Zheng are used to having breakfast in the imperial garden, and they feel much more comfortable than being bored in the main hall.After breakfast, Zhao Ying and the First Emperor went to the front hall to deal with the government affairs, while Concubine Zheng turned and went back to the harem.

After thinking about it, someone called the most experienced female official in the palace, and ordered.

"Get ready, follow me to the eldest son's mansion later..."

"promise!"

The female officer bowed to accept the order.

Soon, a blue carriage, accompanied by guards, came out of the harem and went straight to the eldest son's mansion.

Not informative.

Concubine Zheng's carriage drove straight in, straight into the gate of the eldest son's mansion, when Mi Ji, Wang Nan and others were chatting and laughing, making female celebrities and making quilts and cotton clothes, when they heard the news of Concubine Zheng's visit At that time, Concubine Zheng's carriage had already arrived at the gate of the backyard.

"There are no outsiders here, you don't have to be polite—"

Seeing Mi Ji, Wang Nan and others hurriedly coming out, Concubine Zheng lifted the curtain of the car, waved her hands with a smile, and with the support of the female officer, she made a gesture to get out of the car. Hold Zheng Fei's arm.

Concubine Zheng got down from the carriage, looked over the crowd, and when she fell on Yue Ji, Yue Ji quickly walked a few steps, stepped forward and prostrated herself.

"Yueji greets Mother..."

Concubine Zheng took her little hand lovingly with her gaze.

"Son, I haven't seen you go to the palace to talk to the eldest mother these few days..."

For this well-behaved and sensible granddaughter-in-law, Concubine Zheng has a unique emotion in her heart.

Yue Ji sneaked a glance at Mi Ji and Wang Nan who were looking at her with a smile, then lowered her head and replied obediently.

"Back to Auntie, it's Yueji's fault. I've been studying female celebrities and writing with Auntie and a few older sisters for the past few days. I'm thinking of going to the palace to pay my respects to Auntie..."

Concubine Zheng sighed in her heart, but she also knew that Yueji was not easy at home, so she smiled and took her hand, and followed her words.

"It's good to learn more characters. You can read to relieve boredom when you have nothing to do. If you are bored, you can also go to the palace to chat with your aunt. I happen to be free and have nothing to do..."

This is not the first time that Concubine Zheng said this, Yue Ji was moved in her heart, and obediently nodded in response.
