Quick Travel: Start by pretending to be an envoy to help the First Emperor’s infrastructure

Chapter 36 Your Majesty, it’s time to take medicine

Ying Zheng was not worried at all and continued to discuss several key issues for next year.

"The Qin Dynasty is now unified. Next year I plan to tour the west to pay homage to our ancestors."

Saying this is just a preparation for his confidants. The cruise is not a simple pleasure. The Western Tour is obviously going to the homeland of the old Qin people to appease the Qin people.

When Youan heard this, he immediately roared at Liuhe in his head, "Either you get the rubber out for me, or you get the shock-absorbing structure out for me, or we will die together."

Thinking of the short two hours he spent returning to Xianyang from Chang'an Township, Youan's face turned green.

It was impossible for her to stay in Xianyang during Yingzheng's western tour, but according to the current bronze carriage, she was not really iron-clad, so she would die sooner or later, so as to avoid suffering.

Liuhe was shaken by her until the machine became hot. He stretched out his slender arms and quickly saved himself: "I'm looking for it, I'm looking for it, I'm looking for it."

Threatening it with death every time, I really thought it... would really do this.

You'an immediately acted as if nothing was wrong and whispered softly: "Well, I knew you were a good system."

Liuhe: "..."

You are a real force. You don't even need to relax at all just to change your attitude. It will be frightening to see you.

During the time when You'an was negotiating with Liuhe, Yingzheng explained the important matter of repairing Chi Road next year. This was not a simple job, it could even be regarded as hard work, and Meng Tian was given the important task without hesitation.

You'an couldn't help but think that he and the two brothers Meng Yi were really busy after the unification of the Qin Dynasty. They didn't live an easy life. Needless to say, Meng Tian didn't take long to go to build the Chi Road. After the Chi Road was almost repaired, he was dragged away to fight against the Xiongnu. .

It is true to be favored, and it is true to work hard.

What You'an is even more worried about is that the Qin Dynasty's corvee service is unstoppable. According to time, starting from this year, various fortifications and military projects have been uninterrupted, and the policy of exhausting the people is completely numb.

"Your Majesty, do you have any wages for recruiting civilians to repair Chi Road?" You'an didn't need to take into account the time period when she spoke. Her previous unreliable behavior made everyone in Daqin feel that it was reasonable to put it on her even if they didn't approve of her behavior.

Ying Zheng saw her worried look and immediately guessed what she was thinking, "Yes, but it will offset the food and clothes, which is basically nothing."

Fusu was a little worried whether the divine envoy would think Great Qin was too harsh.

But this is the case for everyone. If wages are paid, Da Qin will not be able to pay them.

He thought too much, and You'an's first reaction was surprise. It was not her status that she was used to exploiting, but she had thought that she had to bring her own food when doing corvee service.

However, the life of the conscripted civilians was not that good. Ordinary people in the capital of Guizhou could only eat two meals of wheat rice with husks. You can imagine how much food could be distributed during large-scale corvee activities. They also had to do hard physical work. They would die. Good health and good luck.

You'an didn't speak immediately, but frowned. She didn't rashly ask Ying Zheng to be nicer to the leaders of Guizhou. He was an emperor, not to mention empathy, even if it was for the sake of the stability of the world, within his ability, he definitely wanted to rule the country. Life in Xia Qianshou is stable.

Naturally, it’s because she can’t get it out. She knows the history. In less than five years, the Baiyue and the Huns will mobilize their troops. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, horses, and food must be the first thing to ensure. Now, whatever she says is useless, only Only when corn is planted next year and can they see the yield with their own eyes can the sense of food crisis be resolved.

Ying Zheng only regarded her as a divine messenger after all, and had a compassionate side. It was not a bad thing to have compassion for the head of Qin Dynasty and Guizhou.

Although Liuhe had just been shaken by her until the host was fainted, he still quickly comforted him, "Don't be unhappy, it's really not possible. When the time comes, take out the potatoes and give Da Qin a little shock. Just say it is an urgent need and don't let them live among the people."

When it comes to short-term, high-yielding emergency food, who can compare to a killer weapon like potatoes?

You'an wasn't too unhappy, but he still laughed out loud after hearing its words. "Host, I kindly comforted you and gave you advice, but you still laugh at me?" Liuhe was immediately unhappy.

You'an explained: "No, thank you for your little brain. It is indeed a good idea."

Potatoes can be eaten for almost 20 days, and potato flour can be stored for more than 20 days, which can satisfy a month's rations in one go.

"Then you can give me a discount when the time comes." You'an started teasing Liuhe again.

Liuhe had cared about her just now, but suddenly he looked like "we're not familiar with each other". It's okay to have feelings, but not to talk about money. "Refuse to bargain, do business on a small scale, be honest with others."

She hummed softly and said it beautifully. In the end, she didn't have to exchange for potato seedlings.

The story is almost the same. Next year, Great Qin will have two major events, the Western Inspection and the Xiuchi Road, both of which will cost a lot of money. You'an looked at his old acquaintance Zhi Su Neishi with a sad face. Apparently he was already thinking about where he could save money.

Ying Zheng also showed a little tiredness on his face, "Everyone has worked hard. I got something from the divine messenger and learned many cooking methods. Please keep them all to try."

Then he looked at You'an, "Although the envoys naturally have no shortage of palace delicacies, the envoys can also taste the fresh ingredients sent from Langya this time."

"That's great." Langya is close to the East China Sea, can the things sent here be preserved?

The next moment, Zhao Gao Gao came in with something unknown and said with a happy face, "Your Majesty, Alchemist Xu refined the magic medicine today, and I am here to congratulate your Majesty."

You'an's smile suddenly faded. With such a famous name that people could easily associate with her, even if it wasn't her, she had to hold him down just by relying on the magic medicine that was black and had golden cracks.

Zhao Gao now fell in her eyes. His image was very similar to that of a famous husband-killer contestant, and his lines were all eerily similar.

You'an saw that the faces of the courtiers below were not very good, and there was no clear objection. However, each of them obviously did not agree with Ying Zheng's behavior. Meng Tian and Wang Jian were the most obvious. They obviously wanted His Majesty to know that they were "showing face" ".

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng turned a blind eye.

You'an stood up leisurely and walked to Zhao Gao. Fortunately, there were steps as a base, otherwise You'an would have had no momentum at all. How could even Zhao Gao be so tall and strong?

After all, the emperor's horse was ordered by the government to drive him, so he didn't know who would drive him if he had really thin arms and legs.

"Divine medicine?"

Zhao Gao didn't understand what You'an was going to do, but he immediately felt something bad as soon as she opened her mouth. He forgot that there was a real envoy here.

Out of caution, he said: "Xu Fangshi said this, and I will convey it in this way. I am not talking nonsense."

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "God's envoy, what's wrong?"

You'an shook his head, "I have never seen immortal medicine, and I don't understand the practice of fellow Taoists, so I dare not speak nonsense. I am just curious, how do these fellow Taoists refine the immortal medicine with the help of mortal things?"

She won't say much. The alchemist can give Ying Zheng something to drink. It's unrealistic to say that no one has ever tested the poison. It's useless for her to rashly expose it, but it's always okay for fellow Taoists to discuss and learn from each other, right?

Let's just relegate our colleagues to the dust first. Ying Zheng already doesn't have much trust, so he will have to think more carefully.
