In this era, the ideas of the princes had huge limitations. The interests of the nobles came first. They knew many things but could not learn them. Even if they learned them, it would be difficult for them to truly benefit the common people.
If a certain prince really did something impressive, Li Feng would have to thank him, because in the end he was just making wedding clothes for himself.
After watching it for a while, Yu Ji and others felt that it was boring.
I heard that Xianyang City has many production and living tools that other vassal states do not have. They were created by Li Feng's encouragement of scientific research and the wisdom of the people.
I wanted to go see it, but Grandma Xiao politely refused.
This is something Li Feng specifically explained. Li Feng does not plan to promote things that involve national intellectual property rights and are critical to people's livelihood, such as improved looms, rollers, nests, buckets, etc.
Especially for some advanced military weapons, we need to be even more cautious. Spies from other countries can learn their own ideas of governing the country, but if they want to take these things out, they will definitely die.
Yu Ji is not his woman yet, so it is impossible to let her know.
Just when I was feeling a bit disappointed, suddenly there was a whirring noise coming from the alley.
"The military is being drafted, the military is being drafted. If your family hasn't joined the army yet, hurry up. If you miss this opportunity, you won't know when the draft will be open again."
"Go and have a look and call your eldest son."
"Old Li Tou, don't hurry up. Last year our family missed joining the army, and the old Zhao family caught up. Now their children have become centurions. Our family is one step behind, but we can't be the next step behind."
Yu Ji looked at these young people running around as if they were on stimulants, and couldn't help but ask: "Are all the people of Qin so active in joining the army?"
"Of course!"
Aunt Xiao said very proudly: "The Qin Dynasty has established twenty-four levels of military merit. The injured, disabled, and those killed in battle will all be compensated generously. The people are delighted to hear about the battle. When they see the enemy, they are like seeing big golden pigs."
"Ah...!" Yu Ji felt a little unbelievable: "Everyone likes to fight so much, so how many men of the Qin Kingdom must die? They also say that the emperor is a benevolent king."
"It's okay. If you die more, you will have more children. The sons and sons worked hard to seize the land for Qin. Your Majesty will give the land to the people and encourage them to have more children. If you have more children, you will get subsidies."
After speaking, he raised a finger proudly: "My nephew was married two years ago. Because of the war, it was difficult to raise one. Since His Majesty returned to Xianyang, he gave birth to one this year. Not long ago, her daughter-in-law
She got pregnant again, and it is said that the imperial court allocated twenty taels of silver so that he could be kind to this third child."
"This..." After hearing this and thinking about what she saw and heard today, Yu Ji suddenly felt that King Xiang might not be the opponent of His Majesty the Emperor of Qin.
After a day of shopping, everyone bought a lot of Xianyang specialties and returned to the palace.
...
"Trash, trash, I can't do this well, what use do I need from you?" In the Pengcheng palace, Xiang Yu was furious again. This was the first time he had gotten angry.
His originally heroic face often had a ferocious look on it, and the people below couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw him. They prayed all day long that they would not be allowed to serve this man today.
The attack on Qin failed and most of the elite were lost, including Yu Ji.
Without Yu Ji by her side, she couldn't sleep well every night. When she thought that Yu Ji might be insulted by the faint emperor, she became restless and irritable. She wanted to send troops again to rescue her beloved concubine, but she couldn't.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough.
This disastrous defeat directly reduced Xiang Yu's prestige in the hearts of the princes, and the deterrence brought by burning cauldrons and sinking boats also gradually diminished.
Xiang Yu wanted to summon all the princes to send troops to attack Qin together, but these people not only refused to listen to the order, but also made excuses. Even Liu Bang began to obey and disobey, and Wei Bao, Zhang Er and others became more and more dishonest.
"I regret not listening to what Han Sheng said." Xiang Yu sighed sadly, recalling how majestic he was when he entered Xianyang, and how embarrassed he is now. It was like a slap in the face.
Thinking back to that time, Fan Yafu also advocated for himself to make Xianyang the capital, but he insisted on going his own way and refused. He also cooked Han Sheng to death because he said "monkeys and crowns", leaving a lifelong stain.
Now that I think about it, I regret it all the time, but there is no such thing as regret in the world. Things that need to be solved still have to be solved.
"It's disgusting for a villain like Han Xin to make fun of me every time."
Nowadays, Zhong Limei and Chen Ping were given eighty-year-old batons for dereliction of duty and are idle at home. Fan Yafu was so angry that he retired to the mountains. Xiang Bo was sent back to his hometown in Jiangdong to guard the mausoleum because he leaked the secrets of the Hongmen Banquet.
Long Qie and Yu Ziqi died in battle, Xiang Zhuang was captured, and after Yingbu learned that he had lost all his men, he also returned to Jiujiang, became less obedient, and even acted vaguely.
The people who had followed him in raising troops from Jiangdong gradually withered away, and it seemed that he was in danger of falling apart without realizing it.
"At first I was thinking of building a beautiful country to share with you, but now I have lost you. It's all my fault." Xiang Yu looked in the direction of Guanzhong and missed Yu Ji again.
Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes. He really loves this woman to his core.
This is a good story for ordinary people, but for a king who is supposed to be a loner, it is a disaster.
"No, I still have an elite army of 200,000, as well as many fierce generals. Please return Yafu, recall Peng Yue, Zhong Limei, Chen Wu, Ji Bu, Luan Bu and other generals, and then send out troops to destroy Ziying Xiaoer.
Save Yu Ji."
Xiang Yu stood up and walked out: "If you are coming, prepare your horses. I am going to invite Yafu out of the mountain."
Xiang Yu was very impatient as the roads were high and dangerous, and he was wading through mountains and rivers, but there was nothing he could do about it, because Fan Zeng or people like him liked to play this trick.
In ancient times, those who considered themselves to be Taoists liked to find secluded places in the mountains and live in huts, so as to show the superior character of the dragon.
When you are not out of the mountain, you are waiting for the price to sell like this. After you are out of the mountain, you are aggrieved and angry, you are like this. After you are done, you are like this to avoid disaster.
At this time, Fan Zeng built a thatched shed on a mountain outside Pengcheng, and asked a few servants to open up several acres of wasteland. They slept, read, and planted flowers and grass every day.
It's impossible to actually farm, it's too tiring, and it's not something gentle people should do.
He was just waiting, waiting for Xiang Yu to go up the mountain to beg for him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiang Yu to come up the mountain in person with heavy gifts and a canopy carriage to admit his mistake, praying in every possible way for him to come out of the mountain again and help him complete his great cause.
Due to years of circumstances and seeing Xiang Yu's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Fan Ya's father reluctantly followed him down the mountain again. As soon as he came back, he heard the Qin army's envoy asking for an audience.
