Chapter 334 The New Year Is Coming! Celebrate Together!
A new year!
A new Qin!
A brand new era!
In Xianyang City.
Tonight, the lights are bright.
The whole city of Xianyang is decorated with lights and colors to celebrate the New Year.
Every shop is bustling with people.
As Qin governs China and stabilizes the world.
With the implementation of many national policies, the people of Qin live a prosperous life, with extra money in their hands and extra food in their homes. As long as they are diligent, they will not starve to death, and they will not be unable to support their families.
Now.
Qin stabilizes the country, encourages business, and encourages the opening of workshops.
China has ushered in a big change.
With the promotion of martial arts and immortals, although it has only been a few months, the resources needed for martial arts and immortals have been cultivated by private merchants with unique vision.
For example, spiritual herbs, medicinal materials, and many alchemy needs.
The private sector has also greatly cultivated.
Because of the way of cultivation, Qin has also ushered in another innovation.
"Brother Zhao, I heard that you have reached the third level of the acquired martial arts?"
"Hahaha, I am lucky. My roots may be superior. I have already obtained the foundation of martial arts after practicing for a few months. I can look forward to martial arts in the future."
"Brother Cheng, have you entered the immortal path?"
"Alas, I have no spiritual roots, so I can't set foot on the immortal path. I can only practice martial arts."
"Don't be discouraged. The court said that both martial arts and immortals are ways to achieve longevity, and martial arts are the original creation of the prince, and they are more accomplished."
"Of course."
"Now With the emergence of martial arts and immortality, our Great Qin will be a force to contend in the future. I hope to seize this opportunity. Once martial arts are successful, we will surely stand out in the future. "
"Yes."
"Your Majesty and the Prince are benevolent and benevolent, and they have blessed the people of the world. As the people of Great Qin, we should swear allegiance to Great Qin, to Your Majesty and the Prince."
"Of course."
"However, we still have to make money well. If we take magical herbs, it will be more beneficial to martial arts."
"That's right..."
...
The New Year's Eve in the past.
The common people naturally talked about the increasingly stable and affluent life, praising the First Emperor and the Prince. Now, the prestige of Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng in the whole Shenzhou has reached an unimaginable level.
Ying Zheng is called the first emperor of the ages by the people.
The title of later generations has come to this era.
And Zhao Feng is called the first prince of the ages, and also the martial ancestor.
On the square of the palace court meeting hall.
Today is particularly lively.
All the officials in the court and their wives and their families, and the wives and families of the governors and county governors of the thirty-six counties of the nine states.
All received the order and gathered in the palace.
In the palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids were busy, and pot after pot of fine wine produced by Jiuxianlou was delivered to various locations.
As Zhao Feng restored his status and returned to Daqin, Jiuxianlou also changed from a folk restaurant to a royal family industry, spread all over the world, and opened all over the world.
And the real fine wine was also exclusive to the royal family.
In the square.
Many ministers gathered one by one, talking with their families, it was very lively and warm.
On the side.
Fusu led his wife and a pair of children to the side.
After there was no need to fight for that position, Fusu also let go completely, and was completely together with Li Si's daughter, and gave birth to a pair of children.
Fusu, who was originally destined to be a tragedy in history, also ushered in a new life after Zhao Feng appeared.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Brother is very different now."
"Yes."
"Brother used to be a gentleman, but now he has the authority of an official."
"Haha, yes."
A group of royal princes surrounded Fusu and teased him with a smile.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, ninth brother, you are still the same, and you will still be like this when you grow up."
Fusu smiled gently.
"Now we are carefree, so we naturally keep our original intentions."
"Now my Great Qin is really changing again and again, and my eldest brother is too capable." Ying Gao said with great emotion and awe.
"Yes."
"With my eldest brother here, the Great Qin has changed so much. I didn't expect that one day we would be able to embark on the road of seeking immortality. All this is brought by my eldest brother." Jiang Lu also had a look of awe on his face.
These years have passed.
Fusu has been guarding a place outside.
Many of Ying Zheng's sons have also grown up, and the youngest is already sixteen or seventeen years old.
Now, they have all entered the officialdom and served in the army under the arrangement of Ying Zheng.
"Yes."
"Big brother has brought great changes to Daqin over the years." Fusu said with great awe.
As a governor, although he is not in Xianyang, but guarding the prefecture, Fusu, as the governor, is naturally the first to know every decree.
The implementation of national policies.
Governing the people with benevolence.
The people are all loyal.
The country is strong and the people are prosperous.
The prosperous era that Fusu once desired most in his heart has now been created in the hands of his father and elder brother.
"Second brother."
"Are you okay in the northern border?"
Ying Gao asked with concern.
"Very good."
"Governing a state is the authority given by my father and elder brother. Being outside the capital, I can see the people of Daqin better."
"It's worth it to be able to benefit one side with my own abilities." Fusu said with a smile.
It can be seen.
He attaches great importance to his important task as governor and agrees with it.
"Second brother can finally realize his ambitions."
Many younger brothers laughed.
At this time!
Li Si walked slowly towards them.
Saw him coming.
Many royal princes stood aside.
"Meet my father-in-law."
Fusu immediately bowed to Li Si.
"Meet Father."
Li Rou also bowed immediately.
Seeing Fusu and Li Rou, Li Si also had a smile on his face.
before.
The thing Li Si feels most guilty about is his daughter.
It was hard to disobey the king's order and let his daughter marry Fusu, but he and Wang Wan and the others were in tit-for-tat, making it difficult for his daughter to live in Fusu's mansion.
But now everything has changed.
Because of the appearance of Zhao Feng.
"Get up."
Li Si smiled.
"father in law."
"Fusu just came back today. I didn't go to visit my father-in-law first. Please forgive me." Fusu said with an apology.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. What's important is that you treat Rou'er well."
Li Si looked at Fusu and said, with a hint of knock in his tone.
"Father-in-law, please rest assured."
"Fusu will never let Rou'er down." Fusu turned his head and looked at Li Rou tenderly.
"Father."
"My husband is very good to my daughter." Li Rou said immediately.
Come to your senses.
Li Rou quickly brought the two little guys over.
"Ping'er, An'er."
"Hurry and meet your grandfather." Li Ju said.
"Meet Grandpa."
The two little guys saluted immediately.
Fusu has a daughter and a son.
The older one is five years old and the younger one is three years old.
The eldest daughter is called Ying Ping, and the second son is called Ying An.
The meaning of peace.
"well."
Looking at his two grandsons, Li Si also had a smile on his face.
"When you return home tomorrow, I will meet your elder brother." Li Si said with a smile.
"Father."
"How is sister-in-law?" Li Rou asked with a smile.
"The two little guys are almost one year old and know how to walk and call people."
Li Si was very happy when he mentioned his grandson.
Just a year ago.
My daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix, and she was blessed with profound blessings.
The day of delivery.
The present Emperor is the First Emperor and the Empress.
The prince and princess are all here.
And Ying Zheng also personally named the two little guys.
The elder brother's name is Li Cheng, and the younger sister's name is Li Lan.
now.
The state pastors and county governors who were outside the pastoral field returned to the capital to report on their duties, which was naturally very lively.
Many of my close colleagues had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally we had a lot of fun chatting with them.
After a while.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
"The Emperor and Empress are here."
"The prince has arrived."
"The princess has arrived."
Shouting echoed throughout the court meeting square.
Hear the sound!
All the gathered ministers became respectful and faced the steps of the square.
"I will see your majesty and the emperor and empress."
"I will see you, the Crown Prince, and see the Crown Princess."
In the square, hundreds of officials and their families kept shouting.
Under the loud shouts of the courtiers and family members.
Ying Zheng held Xia Dong'er's hand.
Zhao Feng held Wang Yan's hand.
He walked slowly from the main hall and came to the stairs.
"Everyone is safe."
Ying Zheng smiled and raised his hand.
"Today is the New Year's Eve. All the officials in the court, the generals, the generals in charge of the camps, the governors of Jiuzhou, and the governors of the thirty-six counties are all gathered in Xianyang."
"One is that the ministers have not returned to the capital for a long time, and the other is that I and my father want to reward the ministers for their loyalty to the country."
Zhao Feng also smiled and said loudly.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
"I would like to thank the prince for your kindness."
The ministers shouted in unison.
"alright."
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Ying Zheng smiled.
Then he took Xia Donger's hand, walked towards his seat, and sat down.
The same is naturally true for Zhao Feng.
"today."
"The new year is approaching."
"It's my first New Year's Eve in the new calendar of the Great Qin Dynasty."
"The whole world should celebrate together and the whole country should rejoice."
"Preach my will."
"Starting from today, our Great Qin grain tax will be reduced by another 10%, which will benefit all people in the world." Ying Zheng announced with a smile.
"Your Majesty is holy."
All the officials in the square shouted in unison.
Today's Great Qin is different from the past. The national treasury is full, and there is no longer a problem of food and grass due to the bumper harvest.
Even if there is no spiritual grain, just planting ordinary rice is enough to fill the national treasury.
"Father."
"Today is the New Year's Eve, a time to celebrate the New Year together, so it is more important to entertain all the ministers. If you have any government affairs, we should wait until the New Year's Eve to rest." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Gentlemen, you see this boy is already in charge of me."
Ying Zheng said helplessly.
The officials in the square also laughed, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, okay."
"What Feng'er said is right. Today is a New Year's celebration, and we shouldn't talk about government affairs."
"Today I and Feng'er have prepared a banquet to reward all the ministers."
"certainly."
"Feng'er has also prepared better favors for the ministers."
"Prolong life and improve cultivation."
Ying Zheng smiled and clapped his hands.
"Your Majesty has a decree."
"Serve the banquet."
The chamberlain serving on the side said loudly.
I saw many palace maids and eunuchs holding prepared delicacies and wine and placing them in each position.
"Hahaha."
"Today, His Majesty and the Crown Prince actually brought out Meng Zui, the highest quality wine in the Jiuxian Tower."
"I must drink enough." Wang Jian looked at the fine wine in front of him and said with a smile.
"Captain of the State."
"You are joking."
"Haven't you drunk enough of this fine wine?"
"You drink the most in the whole court."
Han Fei couldn't help but tease.
"Not enough, absolutely not enough." Wang Jian laughed.
"Hahaha..."
Many ministers laughed.
"Father-in-law."
"Today there are not only fine wine and delicious food, but also better ones." Zhao Feng smiled.
Clap his hands.
See.
One by one, the prince's guards walked towards the banquet with brocade boxes in their hands.
Obviously.
It must be a treasure to be escorted by the prince's guards like this.
The ministers couldn't help but become curious when they saw this scene. It was rare to have such a standard escort.
"Your Highness."
"All the spiritual fruits have been distributed."
Zhang Ming walked to Zhao Feng and said respectfully.
By the way, he also placed four brocade boxes on the table of Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng.
"You can open the brocade boxes in front of you." Zhao Feng smiled.
The ministers opened the brocade box in front of them with doubts.
What came into view.
were two spiritual fruits.
One was a peach the size of two fists, and the other was a fiery red fruit.
"This is a peach."
Zhao Feng smiled, took out a peach from the box, and held it high: "This peach has the effect of improving talent and prolonging life. Eating one can prolong life by ten years."
"This fruit is called Zhu fruit."
"Taking one can break through cultivation and increase true energy."
Zhao Feng took out another Zhu fruit.
Hearing this!
The ministers looked at the spiritual fruits in the brocade box, all with burning eyes.
This time.
Every official who came here was given two spiritual fruits.
One to increase life span, and the other to increase cultivation.
You can imagine how valuable this is.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."
"Thank you, Prince, for your gift."
All the ministers clasped their fists to thank you for your grace.
"From now on."
"Every year at the end of the year, I and my father will set up a reward banquet and give spiritual fruits."
"Those who have made contributions to the country can be given this spiritual fruit."
"My lords, let's work hard together."
Zhao Feng smiled, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said loudly.
"We swear to be loyal to the Great Qin until death."
All the ministers raised their glasses.
...
The reward banquet passed quickly.
These days, the end of the year is approaching.
All officials also ushered in a six-day rest period.
The rest period is over.
In the court hall!
The First Emperor is in court.
The prince is in charge of government.
All officials are in court.
But today is different from the past, the governors of the thirty-six counties in the nine states are in court.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
"We pay our respects to the prince."
"May the Great Qin prosper forever, and may Your Majesty and the prince live long and prosper."
The civil and military officials in the court held court tablets and shouted in unison.
As the Qin Dynasty entered the era of cultivation, the voices of praise and worship changed.
"All the nobles, please stand up." Ying Zheng raised his hand, and the imperial robe was put on, showing his majesty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"Thank you, the prince, for your grace." The ministers shouted in unison.
"If you have a report, you can leave the court." The eunuch shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, the prince."
"I have a report."
Wang Jian stood up and reported loudly: "The Baiyue has been settled. I will send a message to General Tu Sui to search for the map given by the prince."
"Now we have the location, but the map is a place where the formation is hidden. General Tu Sui is not allowed to enter the place when he first entered the realm of the Grand Master. Many elite soldiers have also died here."
"Please let the prince decide."
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng nodded: "Tell Tu Sui, tell him not to let the elite soldiers go to danger. I will go there in person."
"I receive the order." Wang Jian responded immediately.
The map given by Zhao Feng is exactly where the nine tripods were found in the treasure chest in the past.
No.
Strictly speaking, it is the location of the eight tripods of China.
After all, the Yuzhou Tripod, one of the nine tripods, has fallen into Zhao Feng's hands.
The nine tripods of China are the sacred artifacts of the human race in the past.
This must be a treasure, and Zhao Feng must get it, so when the army pacified Baiyue, Zhao Feng specifically asked Tu Sui to search for the eight tripods.
"Your Majesty, Prince."
"I am guarding Qingzhou, and there are many private merchants who trade with the northern border. I have noticed that the two tribes of Donghu and Xiongnu in the northern border have secretly purchased ironware and trained the army."
"It seems that they have some intentions towards our Great Qin."
Fusu stood up and said loudly.
"Does our Great Qin have merchants who dare to sell copper and iron to foreign races?" Ying Zheng frowned.
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
"I have found several merchants who privately sell copper and iron to the foreign tribes in the northern border."
"Although they have been arrested, they still continue to do so despite repeated bans." Fusu replied immediately.
"Repeatedly?"
Ying Zheng glanced coldly: "That means they are not afraid of being killed."
"Pass on my order."
"Order the northern border camp to increase border patrols and screening of border caravans. If anyone is found transporting copper and iron into the northern border, they will be killed on the spot. If there are merchants involved, their clans will be exterminated." Ying Zheng shouted immediately.
"I understand." Fusu immediately accepted the order.
"Fusu."
Zhao Feng looked at Fusu with a gentle look.
"I am here." Fusu responded immediately.
"The hearts of the foreign tribes will not die, and the heart to destroy our Great Qin will not die."
"Copper and iron are military supplies. Selling them to foreign tribes is equivalent to aiding the enemy. Such things must not be shown mercy."
"I know you are deeply influenced by Confucianism, but you need to know that Confucian benevolence is to treat your own people, not to treat enemies." Zhao Feng said seriously.
"My lord, I understand." Fusu nodded heavily.
"For Donghu and Xiongnu."
"Gu has long noticed their actions."
"Ever since he beheaded Queen Donghu alone, her son has been accumulating strength and intending to take revenge."
"However, this is just right."
Zhao Feng had a sneer on his face.
"Does the prince want to wait and see?" Wei Liao immediately understood something.
"If the Donghu and the Xiongnu want to invade our Qin Dynasty, they will definitely use all their strength to invade."
"Gu, I want to decide the world in one battle, destroy the Donghu, destroy the Xiongnu, and control the northern border."
"Just pay close attention to the news in Northern Xinjiang. There is no need to worry too much." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Prince Shengming." The ministers said in unison.
"Start your Majesty."
"Now martial arts and immortal cultivation methods have been introduced to the people for several months."
"There are many people with outstanding cultivation talents among the people who have been successfully introduced into the academy and recruited into the army."
"As for the cultivation of immortality is not as good as martial arts, among the people, there is almost one person in a thousand who has spiritual roots."
Han Fei stood up and complained.
"Martial arts and immortal ways can only be taught for a few months."
"But the people have only a little understanding of the way of cultivation. They only have basic skills, but they don't know the fundamentals of cultivation."
"I'm already prepared for this."
"Ten days later."
"The Guhui will lecture on martial arts outside Xianyang City and explain the path of martial arts to all people in the world."
"In addition, Guigu Guoshi will also explain the way of cultivating immortals to all people in the world." Zhao Feng immediately smiled.
"Prince."
"This will definitely cause a sensation in Xianyang, but it cannot be exposed to all the people in the world." Lu Buwei said respectfully.
"All my subjects in the Qin Dynasty can listen to Gu's martial arts lectures through the Tianxuan Mirror. After ten days, all the people in the world will have the right to listen to martial arts lectures." Zhao Feng said.
…
