Country and Beauty

Chang'an Taiji Palace was a five-storied courtyard, with three halls and two pavilions. Other than the daily imperial court's Hall of State and Virtue, there was also the Palace of Martial Arts and Taiji. On that day, Xie Fei held a banquet at Tai Chi Palace. However, this was a completely new occasion. Not only did all of the officials within the Chang'an City participate, even the descendants of the ancestors who did not care about politics also participated. Even the officials that were bestowed the title of official by Xie Fei also participated. The so-called officials were all there to appease people. They only had one official's name, had a salary, but they had no actual authority.

When all the officials were seated, they realized that the banquet was not ordinary. There were no big fish, no delicacies, no vegetables, and on everyone's workbench were placed a plate of ground potatoes with vinegar, a bowl of sweet potato soup, and a piece of tortilla. For future generations, it would be a bit cold for them to use such a thing to treat guests. But more than 1700 years ago, the value of these things was undoubtedly more attractive than the nest of the shark fin abalone.

Xie Fei pointed to the corn bread in front of the court officials and said, "The thing in front of all the officials is called corn bread. General Fu Bo brought it here from America, which is tens of thousands of miles away. "Everyone, how do you like it?"

"I thank the Emperor for the banquet." They had originally wanted to let Xie Fei have a feast today, but who would have thought that it would be such a simple and unsophisticated meal. However, no matter how unwilling they were, they did not dare express it. They must eat Xie Fei if he wants them to eat it.

The officials looked at each other and had no choice but to lower their heads and take a big bite. Since eating was not a problem, they could hear the sounds of "puchi puchi" like hungry pigs eating without Xie Fei's order.

"En, the taste is pretty good! It's really the most delicious thing in the world! " Wang Meng sighed as he ate.

"Right, it's too delicious. I've never tasted such a delicious dish before!" Lu Li said excitedly.

Beigong Chun liked to eat meat, to the point where he could not be happy without meat. The vegetables and soup in front of him, and the fact that there was no meat at all, made Beigong Chun lack interest.

Xie Fei saw that Beigong Chun did not eat, and walked forward: "Why does the Northern Palace General not eat?"

Beigong Chun rubbed his nose, pointed at the food in front of him and said: "I like eating meat, towards these things, I just don't care, but the Emperor has decrees, how could I dare to disobey."

Beigong Chun fiercely bit down on the corn cake. After eating it for a while, Beigong Chun's stomach opened up, and in a few bites, he finished all the corn cake in front of him. He still felt that it was not enough, and although Beigong Chun was a favorite, he didn't dare to yell and scream. Beigong Chun looked to his left and right, only to see an old man in the next four rows. The biscuit in front of him had just been eaten, and he had revealed a thoughtful expression. Beigong Chun knew that this person was also a high ranking official with two thousand stones.

would never be able to remember an ordinary person, but this old man was different. He had an extremely unique personality, he was around fifty years old, his height was not high, and was only around seven feet. However, his physique was vigorous and very sturdy. His hands were as big as a fan. The most distinctive feature was his eyebrows.

Under a pair of snow-white eyebrows. He had a pair of slender eyes. He was simply a white-browed hero. He stretched out his hand and held a piece of potato fiber, looking at it from top to bottom.

He was Chen Pan, the descendant of the Great Qin who had abandoned Confucianism and agriculture in history, and whether it was true or false, he had said it himself, there was no way to prove it. However, this little old man had a very deep understanding of the weather and weather conditions that allowed agricultural production to depend on, as well as the need for crops to grow. People with strange talents like Chen Pan had a sense of pride in their bones. They would rather wash their hands of the matter than become a small official. As for those in power, they all paid attention to the Confucian Scholars. Of course, it was unlikely that they would place any importance on a peasant student. He wanted to be the leader, but no one was willing to use him. Although Chen Pan had a deep knowledge of agriculture, his years of life had not been very pleasant.

Thus, he came to Chang'an with the intention to take a look around. However, when he came to Chang An, he seized an advantage. In the past, most of the clans that lived in seclusion would stay hidden, and he was the only farmer scholar, so Xie Fei appointed him as his home ground, Si Nong Ling. He could be considered a professional counterpart to the farmers.

The courtiers and officials in the court were currently eating in an unflattering manner. It was truly an insult.

Beigong Chun saw that Chen Pan did not seem to like eating, so he stepped forward and said: "Master Chen, if the food is not to your liking, then you are willing to work!"

What made Beigong Chun so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, the old man actually said a few words after a long time: "Its taste is slightly sweet, the taste is round, the taste is smooth, the taste is refreshing, it reduces the flow of Yin and Yang, complements the flow of blood and qi, complements the deficiency, complements the energy, strengthens the spleen and stomach, and strengthens the kidney and yin, it is edible."

However, Xie Fei did not mention a single word of his rewards. Everyone knew that Xie Fei had always given distinct rewards and punishments, and now he had even given Zhou Yang an honorable title. Could it be that there was some interesting reason behind this? As the saying went, accompanying a tiger was like accompanying a tiger. The ministers of the Qin State began to guess one after another. Xie Fei drank three cups of blood consecutively, which was similar to the wine used by the future generations' Old White. After gulping down three cups of wine, Xie Fei shouted excitedly, "We have gained three treasures, from now on, all the people in the world no longer need to worry about food! "Corn can be grown in March and harvested in August, producing 1500 jins per mu, and potatoes need to be cut into pieces for planting. Sweet potatoes need to be planted first, and the yield of sweet potatoes is more than 2000 jins per mu."

After eating this kind of delicacy, the officials thought that these three dishes were extremely difficult to obtain. They could only eat these three dishes once. He wouldn't have a chance to eat it in the future. Now that they heard such a harvest, they were overjoyed!

However, the Shennong order was different. He was the one in charge of the people, similar to a modern agriculture minister. After hearing Xie Fei's words, he was moved to tears, and hurriedly knelt and kowtowed to Xie Fei. This subject thanks His Majesty on behalf of the people of the world! Your majesty is the savior of all the people in the world! "

Xie Fei was actually worried that the various officials were giving him trouble in private so that he could deal with the important officials of the country and the families backing them. Although Xie Fei had also taken their land and taken their private troops, he did not use force. For example, the Lou's behind Lu Chengming also had over five hundred thousand mu of land and over eight thousand private troops. Xie Fei used the right of sale of salt and iron in Qing He County. All of the generations who did not join Xie Fei's camp did so without exception.

The earliest hereditary valve s should be the nobles of the six nations after the Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Nations, and their birth would mean rebellion. That was why Xie Fei spared no effort to eliminate the influence of his clan in the world. However, Xie Fei was worried that they were using some tricks in private. So Xie Fei set up a feast and used sweet potato and corn to let the court officials know the value of these three things. Without cooperation, it would be difficult to grow them on a large scale, and only by doing this would there be no problems!

Xie Fei said: "Right now, it's still too early to say whether or not we can solve the problem of food and clothing for the citizens. Only after we successfully grow these few things will we bring benefits to the citizens of the world, so whether or not we succeed will require your help."

"I dare not to disobey!"

Xie Fei then explained the method to promote the flower and the things to pay attention to when planting it.

After making the arrangements, Xie Fei ordered his men to scatter the dishes and serve the wine and food.

During a feast, if there wasn't a program like this, the standards of the feast would be much lower.

Xie Fei then said again: "Let's dance happily!"

The sound of a zither rang out. The zither, which was already growing gently, was now playing with the power of a golden horse. Those who didn't understand music could easily feel a kind of impassioned spirit, a tragic atmosphere that made people feel like their blood was boiling. This was definitely a banquet to welcome the meritorious officials. Elite soldiers were mostly a bunch of ignorant tough old men. To make them admire the wind and moon like those scholars that were on the same level as them, that was simply making them suffer. The song not only made Wen Chen's blood boil, it also made these generals feel as if they had returned to the cruel and bitter battlefield. All of the ministers present were deeply attracted by the sound of the zither.

Soon after, the sounds of war drums rang out, a group of 100 female soldiers ran in, at this time they were not wearing the Qin Army's black armor, but were all dressed in red. One hundred and twenty people, clad in armor, had a saber in their right hand and a round shield in their left hand. Although there were only one hundred and twenty people here, their momentum was great. It was as if thousands of horses and soldiers were galloping at a rapid pace.

The female soldier was not Xie Fei's creation. In history, the Queen of the Effulgence Emperor Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua, had formed the Luan Wei Fang and became the queen's personal guard. In the history of the three kingdoms, there were also bowing women made by the Sun family's concubine, as well as some of the tiger-girl battalions mentioned in the wild history.

The drumbeats rose like thunder, high and passionate, urging people to move forward. These female soldiers held their sabers and danced in high spirits, as if they were a magnificent army with thousands of horses. It made one's blood boil, especially those female soldiers who wore military uniforms, and gave off a valiant aura.

As for the female soldiers entering the field, it was only Xie Fei who was forced into a corner by the Academy Officer s of the Luan Guards. These female soldiers had followed Xie Fei for five or six years, and all of them wanted to accomplish great things so that they could have a stable livelihood after retiring. In the end, Xie Fei was still a male chauvinist, he would definitely not allow these tender girls onto the battlefield. In the end, even the imperial concubine Shui Ruyan had given Xie Fei a blow on the side. It was only then that Xie Fei remembered the special soldier branch of the Chinese army, the literary soldier.

The song "Sincerity Repent" had a great impact, especially the female soldiers' first performance, which made everyone feel as if their eyes and ears had been opened. The 120 battle-hardened Iron-Blood female soldiers released a strong killing intent, the sound of the drum was passionate, and the scene became even more spectacular.

The dance stage was filled with a chilling atmosphere. However, the northern border that was tens of thousands of miles away was experiencing a battle to the death. Although it had been six months, in the millions of square kilometers of grassland, it would not be easy for them to completely destroy it.

They were still fiercely fighting and would not stop until they had achieved their goal!

"General." Things are a little strange! "

Cui Qing had finally become a mature and steady general from a pure and innocent son of a noble family after a blood-soaked battle. A terrifying killing intent radiated from his body. Cui Qing said, "What's so weird about that?"

"Recently, we have exterminated more than a dozen tribes of various sizes, but not only did they not have young and strong bodies, they did not even have women and children. If a tribe was only weak or old, perhaps it was a coincidence, but there were more than ten tribes of varying sizes. "There are at least over ten thousand people, but they don't even have women or children. Isn't that weird?"

In every tribe that attacked each other, they would only rob women and children, not caring about the lives of the old and weak. Sometimes, they would encounter natural disasters, and in order to survive, they would kill the old and weak. Cui Qing nodded, "This is a little abnormal. Grab a few of your tongues and ask them what's going on!"

The battlefield quickly quietened down, and a few weak old Hu people shivered under the Qin Army's might. They didn't know what their future was like. No one wanted to die anyway.

Cui Qing said, "I'll give you all a chance to live. Tell me, where are your women and children?!"

"Tongue Man", the translator, told Cui Qing's words to the prisoners. Soon, he found out the answer!

"It's actually Xianbei member!"

"Why are they capturing women and children?"

"Idiot. The nomadic peoples did not have any loyalty to speak of, the strong in their eyes were worth depending on, this was a rule. Xianbei member obtained these women and children, the women could pass on their generations, and after raising the children for a few years, they became Xianbei member. If the Xianbei member were to take all the women and children away, they would suddenly have an extra population of hundreds of thousands. Within a few years, the inferior clans would gradually grow up again. " Cui Qing pondered, "That won't do. We need to inform General Qin of this matter as soon as possible. We might encounter them in the future." F * ck, with this idea in mind, I really don't know where to cut into this!

After the song ended, everyone slowly recovered from their excitement. Xie Fei then said to Zhou Yang, "Zhou Yang, your military newspaper in the Far Ocean America this time is too brief. We would like to know more about it, tell us what happened. "I have to be more detailed!"

Zhou Yang replied and got up. He talked about everything that had happened since he left the Lianyungang, about how they went through Taiwan to get their first supplies, about how they encountered the first typhoon, and then how they encountered the sinking of a tornado battleship, and how they encountered the siege of the natives after going through so much to the Americas. He talked about how they finally broke through layer after layer of obstructions to find the sweet potato and how they managed to return. All the officials were moved. They would never have thought that there was such a twist to it.

Actually. Xie Fei also realized that things wouldn't go smoothly for them on the way here, although he and the others had designed a giant sail that wasn't inferior to Zheng He's when he was in the Western Ocean, and also provided them with compass and a method to replenish their vitamin. When they heard that Zhou Yang and the others only had one boat left, in order to reduce the consumption of food and medicine, many of the injured soldiers chose to jump into the sea to save food.

In the past, when they were on a mission in Africa, they had been tricked by the people of the M Nation. The 13 little teammates only ran out and the 5 of them were also trapped in the desert, two of them were severely injured, and in order to not burden them, as well as to save some food and water, the 3 special forces had all chosen to commit suicide. It was not enough to die on the battlefield together with the enemy. Most people might have this kind of awareness, but sacrificing their own lives to let their teammates live on their own was much more courageous than sacrificing themselves.

Xie Fei then looked at the surrounding officials, all of their eyes red.

After a long while, Xie Fei finally calmed down and said: "Zhou Yang, step forward and listen to my orders!"

It could be said that when Xie Fei revealed the great benefits that the sweet potatoes and the Qin State had, although the ministers did not say anything, they were actually unwilling to accept it in their hearts. Most of them thought that Zhou Yang still relied on Zhou Zha to have such a great honor, while Zhou Yang still relied on his father's contributions. But after hearing Zhou Yang's story of the ocean, no one said anything more. The army was a place where strength was of utmost importance. To be able to defeat the encirclement of tens of thousands of natives with less than four thousand water soldiers and to fight against the heavens with flesh and blood was in itself a symbol of strength. However, they were all curious to see what kind of reward Xie Fei would give him.

Zhou Yang's heart was thumping in his chest, Zhou Yang could be considered to be from a family of generals, his grandfather was a famous general during the Western Jin, and his father was the first person to follow Xie Fei into the sect, if not for him dying early, he would probably be with Beigong Chun as well. Zu Ti also received the Purple Gold Seal Ribbon.

Right now, he had finally obtained Xie Fei's recognition after going through countless hardships. The excitement in his heart could be imagined.

Xie Fei said: "Zhou Yang, you are from the vast oceans and America, and your achievements lie in the United Nations. You are a fourth-class military marshal, not yet on the list. "I am going to mention you as the right one."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The court officials cried out in alarm. They had thought that Xie Fei would make an exception and be promoted to become Zhou Yang, but they had never thought that he would be promoted like this. Although it did not seem like it was the same as the one on the right, it was as different as heaven and earth. Not only was it the fourth rank, there were no corvette workers in Qin State, and there was basically no benefit to being exempted from corvée workers. The only difference was that they could see the county magistrate not bowing. This was an honorary title, and it was also the most basic title for the hereditary army.

Xie Fei had actually made a corresponding change to the level twenty grade Qin System back then. For example, he had made a huge change to the rule of heirloom, with the highest rank being the fourth level. If he wanted to level it up, he would have to rely on his own hard work. Except in so far as it is not included in the list, any member of a burly family shall enjoy the privilege of exemption from tax.

To the right government, he was number one out of the nine Martial Saints. If he went up there, they would be banned. However, to be promoted, he had to produce 30,000 in battle and defend the city eighty thousand. This was practically a watershed where victory was difficult.

Before any of the officials could recover from their shock, Xie Fei said: "The entire Zhou Clan is loyal to us, and Young Master Ji is even more so. In order to pay our respects to Zhou Qing, we are specially bestowed with the armor we wear in our early years in the war!"

The armor that Xie Fei had worn back then was a rare treasure. Xie Fei had fought in battles several times, and on the armor, he had blocked at least a few hundred arrows, yet Xie Fei was not injured in the slightest. In fact, what they did not know was that Xie Fei was wearing the newest bulletproof vest. Even at a close distance of 30 metres, using such a powerful rifle shot like the AK could not penetrate him, let alone this bow and arrow.

"The emperor's armor!" That's not a rare treasure! " Zhou Yang's mind was in a mess, his eyes filled with stars. He silently said in his heart, "Then won't I be able to be touched by the Emperor's dragon aura in the future?" When the attendant reminded Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang finally came to his senses and hurriedly said: Thank you, your majesty!

None of the officials had any objections to Xie Fei giving them the tenth rank in a row, but hearing that Xie Fei had actually given Zhou Yang the armor that he had been wearing for so many years, they all became extremely jealous.

Especially Beigong Chun, whose eyes were red like a raging bull's. He stepped forward and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder, "Eldest nephew, work hard! This armor is unrivaled in the world! "

Du Ceng was also envious of Xie Fei's armor, but she had no choice. If Zhou Yang was willing, even if he had to pay 100,000 silver coins, he would not hesitate to buy it. Xie Fei saw the reaction of the crowd and sneered. In the movies and TV shows of the future, Qian Long seemed to like using the Royal Yellow Horse Gown to win over people's hearts. In fact, the Yellow Horse Gown itself didn't have much value. Just like what was copied online, a shoe that smashed into Bush was said to have been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was said that the copper chamber pot that Master Kangxi used in the past actually sold for 300,000 dollars. A certain star's lousy uniform was actually worth more than an Audi.

Xie Fei had finally found something that could be used as a reward for meritorious service. The bowls, pens that Xie Fei used, and poems that he stole from the future generations all became treasures of the meritorious officials. It was said that when the Qin Army recovered the Jiao Prefecture, a small soldier shot the King of Lin Ruo Guo with a crossbow. Xie Fei rewarded him with wearing the green robe, and after the fall of this small soldier's family, his descendant sold the green robe and became the wealthiest man in the city overnight.

In the past three years, Qin State had planted nearly 300,000 mu of sweet potato, 500,000 mu of corn and only 100,000 mu of potatoes. There was no helping it, the seeds Zhou Yang brought were limited, if not Xie Fei would spread the millions of mu within the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, with these three treasures, the time for Qin State to recover will be greatly advanced. However, right now, the greatest difficulty for Qin Army is still time. Right now, they will definitely find a chance to fight again. If they want to gain a stable development time, then they must make sure that the army without a river path maintains sufficient pressure on the Jin State.

This way, the Jin State will have a hard time giving us, the Qin State, four to five years to regain our strength, and then, the Qin State will have the power to unify the world in one fell swoop. "

Xie Fei looked at Wang Meng, and nodded in deep agreement: "I'll do as Jing Luo says, we'll do as you wish, and we'll do as you wish."
