Six hundred and fortieth chapters time difference
In fact, Chu Qing and Xiaobao don’t have to be so anxious because there is an emperor procrastinating.
The reading of Woth's New Year was here, and the emperor waved his hand: "Oh! I'm in my twenties today? Well, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, every family will sweep the dust. Let's go home!"
The Spring Festival holiday in Daxuan Kingdom is calculated based on the first day of the Lunar New Year. There are three days off before the first day of the New Year, and three days off after the first day of the New Year. Add to the first day of the New Year, which is exactly seven days off, and there are seven days off after the Lantern Festival holiday.
In this way, the holiday should have started on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, because the emperor's words were sealed three days in advance!
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the court first discussed Woth's comments, and then it became choked again.
As Chu Qing speculated, there were remarks that impeached Chu Qing to "invest enemies", and the impeachment included civil officials and military officers.
The motive of the military officer is quite simple, because if Vos is really a hostile target, then any material given to them is a capital enemy, and it is best to even draw the air away without leaving any breath for them.
The motives of civil servants are difficult to judge. They cleverly chose the same argument as those of military officers, but emphasized that Chu Qing's trading plan with the Fourth Prince was ahead of King Vos's letter of seeking help.
In other words, Chu Qing had already expressed his attitude of "investing the enemy" first, which gave King Vos a chance to gain a better position.
This time, the two prime ministers clearly expressed their attitude that this matter had nothing to do with "investment and enemy", and reiterated the benefits that could be obtained from establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries and the reasons that were not conducive to the war in the near future.
In other words, the officials were divided into two groups, one agreed to support Vos, and the other impeached all those who supported Vos, including the prime minister, who supported Vos, were "investors".
The emperor thought to himself: Censors also know how to detour.
The emperor let the ministers freely play it out. From every time he went to court, the emperor quarreled, and then discussed everything else every day, and then brought it up and argued.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple personally led a team to deal with the Woth envoy, asking them to wait patiently, and sent people who passed the political review to lead them to wander around Kyoto. After that, the Lantern Festival holiday was on again.
The court officials also realized that the emperor did not take their opinions seriously, and even the chief and deputy prime minister were teasing them.
After the Lantern Festival, the ministers formally discussed Woth's letter of nationality one by one. At this time, their position was clear. Everything that was beneficial to the Great Propaganda would be approved, and if it was too little, they kept increasing their investment.
Anyone who is in Worth's interests firmly opposes it and wishes to cross out all terms.
The emperor still let them play their own way. When they sorted out the new terms, they would negotiate with the messenger of Vos, which naturally took another twenty days to argue.
Every weekday, both parties bargained for work hours, and ate and drank together after get off work. They were extremely friendly. On holidays, the Worth continued to wait.
When the final draft of the aid contract was finally established, Xiaobao had sent another 1,500 people into Voss.
Even this little treasure thinks that the number of people is small.
After spring, it would be a very difficult project to open a transportation route to a mine that is thousands of feet high. No matter how many people there are, there will not be many people. However, due to the cost of consumables such as food, Xiaobao did not bring in more people.
These 1,500 people are from the Beggars' Sect, the Salt Sect and the Boat Sect. Xiaobao wants them to work together to transform the gangs to facilitate the integration of the gangs.
According to Chu Qing's request, Xiaobao brought a large number of ropes, pulleys, axes, chisels, hammers, nails, shovels, trailers, ladders and other tools. Who made our family have iron?
and gunpowder.
The last time Chu Qing carried not much gunpowder, which was just to prevent the Vos from causing trouble, but this time it was different and quarry was needed.
Not long after Xiaobao and his friends entered the country, a first-hand Woth man sent a message back. Then all Woth departments conveyed the decree: Daxuan each caravan enters the country, and there must be no more than 300 people in a single team, otherwise it will be considered as suspected of "rebellion" and "provocation".
Among all kinds of banned items, "Flying Fire Face" and firecrackers are listed in the first line.
It was also from the issuance of this government decree that the Worth border checkpoints were more stringent, and even the ration bags brought by merchants had to be packaged and strictly investigated to prevent them from being entrapped.
When Chu Qing heard the news, he laughed: No matter which world, dangerous goods such as flammable and explosive must be strictly guarded against. It was probably because the Fourth Prince told his father that he was threatened.
The continuous running around made Xiaobao look thinner. Chu Qing felt distressed. He drank milk and ate beef every day, and made a variety of tricks, such as beef sauce, clay pot beef, iron plate beef, boiled beef... and all the herdsmen looked at it: Daxuan people are really a waste of their family!
There are now as many as 2,500 people brought in to fight the time difference, and the daily food consumption is extremely large, which makes the herdsmen even more envious: "What are so many people doing? How good is it to sell us the food!"
However, there are many people and great power, with 2,500 people, and no herder dares to provoke them.
But now it is still the coldest day, so many people cannot be idle. Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "The road is ready, go to break the ice and dig stones!"
Picking jade and catching jade are the main ways to pick jade in this era, which is to pick up jade in the shallows or shallow waters of rivers and pick up jade.
The rivers where jade can be picked all come from the melting water of ice and snow on Yujing Mountain, so jade is highly seasonal, mainly concentrated in autumn and spring.
In summer, the temperature rises, the ice and snow melt, and the river water surges. The jade fragments of the native jade ore on the top of the mountain are carried down by the flood and are constantly being bumped and washed along the way. The hard part of the jade is retained, and the looser part is constantly washed and knocked off.
Year after year, jade pieces of different shapes gradually become smooth round and oval on the surface, forming the "seed jade" in the Worth population.
But this is the most dangerous time, and you will face the danger of mountain torrents and devouring your life at any time, so it is not suitable for picking jade.
In autumn, the temperature gradually drops, the river water gradually falls, and the jade accumulated on the river beach or in the riverbed is revealed. People are easy to find that the temperature is suitable at this time, so you can go into the water to pick it up.
Therefore, autumn is the main season for people to pick and retrieve jade.
In winter, it is frozen for thousands of miles, the temperature is extremely low, the river water is frozen, and the jade cannot be retrieved, so no one picks jade in winter.
When spring is in full bloom and the ice and snow melt, the water comes out and enters a good season for picking and picking up jade.
At present, relying on the large number of people, there is no need to worry about the outbreak of mountain torrents. It is just a matter of shoveling their strength. Two thousand five hundred people carry shovels and picks and go into battle.
Although it is not a day to freeze three feet, it can be a day to dig three feet to achieve the goal of two thousand five hundred people.
Digging stones, washing stones, and choosing stones, these men are really worthy of the food they eat, and they are really fast!
