The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1219 The Powerful Great Chu Dynasty

Both Wang Meng and He Sheng got inside the basket without making a sound, grabbed the rope tightly, and then went to the tower.

Looking at the two people in front of him, one was wearing a battle armor and the other was wearing the servants of Chu State civil servants, Wang Mang smiled and bowed his hands and said, "My lord, Wang Mang, has met Chu Zuoxiang, General Long!"

As soon as He Sheng stood firm, he heard Wang Meng say: "Respect is Wang Mang, so the person next to you should be He Sheng, and I don't know if there is another one who has not come up, who is it?"

He Sheng hurriedly said: "I have seen Mr. Zuo Xiang, I have seen General Long!"

Wang Meng and Long Qie bowed slightly and returned the salute.

What is a big country? This is a big country. Compared with this place, Shu Kingdom is really a land of barbarians.

Only then did Wang Mang say: "The remaining one, Meng Hu, is my accompanying servant."

Meng Hu pulled out the female wall with his hands, and stood firmly on the tower. When he heard Wang Mang's words, his expression did not change, he just cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the two adults." He retreated to stand behind Wang Mang and the two. .

Wang Meng waved his hand, and the soldiers around him immediately dispersed, and he said: "The truth about your country's alliance with our country can only be reported to the emperor, and General Xiang Zhuang will personally escort you two to Yingdu, and we will be together with you." No, this is not the truth.”

"Xiangguo is also a smart person. Naturally, if you and I have a dispute, it will definitely benefit the Shu Kingdom. It is said that the Shu Kingdom has developed from the southwest. The land that has been conquered by the Shan Rong in these years is probably far more than Let's go to Bashuer County." Wang Mang said.

Wang Meng nodded: "Sir is also a smart person, and he doesn't say anything to deceive you. We all understand this truth, but all the decision-making power is in the hands of my emperor."

"Thank you sir for listening to my nagging." Wang Mang arched his hands and asked, "I don't know when I will leave?"

"Now." It was Long Qi who spoke, and Long Qi cupped his hands and said, "General Xiang Zhuang has been waiting outside for a long time, I don't know if the envoy wants to ride a car or a horse?"

"Riding a horse." Wang Mang said.

Riding a horse is far better than riding a carriage. The most important thing is that you can take a serious look at the local people of Shu while riding a horse.

From this point, it can also be seen that the state of Chu has the mentality of a big country, and it doesn't care about things from its own country being seen by the people of Qin.

Riding a horse can do many things, but riding a horse is also very cold; Xiang Zhuang is a handsome young man with a long sword on his body, but this young man rarely speaks, the most common words are:

"set off!"

"rest!"

"set off!"

"rest!"

The entire eight-day journey was spent in this way.

Wang Mang and He Sheng also saw a lot of things. Naturally, they would not complain like Meng Hu that the weather in Chu was too bad. Flying icicles fell on their bodies every day. Even if they wore iron armor outside, the icicles fell on their bodies. It won't take long for a thick layer of ice to form, and when you tap it with your hand, a whole piece of thin ice will fall off.

This very bad weather, but the soldiers of Chu State are used to it as usual.

Wang Mang and He Sheng confirmed that it wasn't that the weather in Chu State was too bad, it was simply that Meng Hu had been working in the mansion for too long, and he had forgotten that a warrior never cared when galloping on the battlefield. How's the weather outside.

The martial artist from Chu State never complained about the bad weather.

Wang Mang also noticed that the roads in Chu State have been well built. The standard of whether a country is strong or rich is largely not based on its annual tax revenue, but on its infrastructure construction. , whether it is perfect.

For example, roads.

Wang Mang has been observing the roads and found that these roads are not only very smooth, but also that the pavilion chiefs in many places are leading people to open and repair the roads.

This is like walking on the official road of Qin State, and even Wang Mang has an illusion that this is returning to Qin State.

Therefore, a kind of pressure was born in Wang Mang's heart. The strength of Chu State is definitely not weak to Qin State. If Qin State wants to annex such a terrible opponent, it will definitely have to pay a very heavy price.

Similarly, on the other hand, if Chu State wants to annex Qin State, it will pay a very heavy price.

The paddy fields fell heavily on He Sheng. He had studied Qin's agriculture seriously for a while, so his eyes were sharper than those old farmers who had been cultivating in the world all the year round for the fertility of the paddy fields.

Before that, He Sheng felt that the paddy fields in the Qin State had a natural advantage. Every year, regardless of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, herdsmen from outside the pass would continuously transport the feces of cattle and sheep to the pass. A huge market was set up in the place specified by the imperial court to sell to the Central Plains people who cultivated the land.

With the feces of these cattle and sheep used as fertilizer, it goes without saying that Qin's rice fields are fertile.

So he instinctively felt that Chu's agriculture must be inferior to Qin's.

But after I got here and observed carefully, I realized that I was thinking too much.

The swamp of Chu State has been fully developed. After all, which country does what these days, other countries are careful in their eyes. It is still very simple to learn from others.

The paddy fields in Qin State still follow the original well field system, and mulberry trees are planted on the rice paddies. Almost every family in Chu State raises silkworms, which is a very advanced agricultural farming technology.

People in Chu State did not have manure from cattle and sheep as fertilizer, so they used poultry, such as pigs, chickens, and ducks.

This set of technology was completely grafted from the land of Bashu, and I don't know how much effort the people of Chu State spent to accomplish this thing successfully.

Both of them saw the richness of Chu State, and they were amazed along the way, but when they arrived at Yingdu and saw the imperial city, both of them were a little bit ghostly!
It's not that the will-o'-the-wisps were underestimated, but they saw the palace of Chu State... Although it was a palace, it was very ordinary.

"Isn't it the rumors that Xiang Yu reunited with Xiao Meiniang, having sex day and night?"

"Didn't you say that Xiang Yu is cruel? He often takes pleasure in killing people?"

"Why do the people in Yingdu have smiles on their faces?"

Most of the news that can be reported to the capital of the state of Qin by ordinary secret work is hearsay. Only after the two of them actually arrived here did they know how far the state of Chu had developed.

Qin State used to count the country's population and military strength, and now Wang Mang and He Sheng feel that Chu State may not be able to mobilize much less troops than Qin State!

In the palace, after Xiang Yu finished processing the memorial, the eunuch came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the one from Qin has arrived at the post."

"Don't worry, eat, drink and entertain for a few days. Select a lady with outstanding appearance from the public and send it over. After careful observation, come back and report to me."
