Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Whoosh~

Two galloping horses passed by everyone in a gust of wind.

The dragon and tiger guards guarding Fusu were about to be alert, but before they could take action, the fast horse galloping in front of him had almost disappeared.

"Why does this person... feel familiar?"

Han Fei blinked. Among the two people who had just been riding on horseback and galloping towards him, one of them looked vaguely like an excellent scholar who Han Fei had met when he was studying in Xiaoshengxian Manor. The juniors are very similar.

It's just that his junior fellow student is elegant, dignified, and handsome. The two people on horseback just now were a little too plump.

To most people present, the two galloping horses were just a small incident, and no one paid any attention to it.

Only Gai Nie thought of the two people on the horse just now and the packages they were carrying on their backs, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

······

Paid the money.

Han Fei and others, together with Gai Nie and others, crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered Hanzhong.

"Han Fei had heard about the difficulty of the 'Shu Road' several times from Qilu merchants when he was studying in Songhai in his early years. But he never thought that one day, the 'Shu Road' could become so simple."

After walking out of the [Qinping Avenue] exit, Han Fei briefly judged the time it would take to cross the Qinling Mountains, and couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing, Han Fei's mood became more solemn.

As the ninth son of South Korea, Han Fei naturally cannot be ignorant of the importance of 'transportation' to a country. Nowadays, this kind of 'cement highway' can even penetrate the Qinling Mountains. So if it is built on flat land and used for In addition to war, how much convenience will it bring to Qin?

The carriage then continued to move forward.

And the more Han Fei saw the current scene in Hanzhong, the deeper his heart sank.

When Han Fei was on a mission to the Qin State from South Korea, the most common sight he saw in South Korea was the flood victims all over the place, with white silk scarves everywhere. This is the aftermath of last year's snow disaster.

After entering the territory of Qin, Han Fei did not see a single disaster victim along the way. Although some civilians he met along the way still had a bit of sadness on their faces, in general, all the people had returned to their normal pace of life. among.

Obviously, this is because the Qin government provided relief in a timely manner and sent people to provide disaster relief as soon as the snow melted. Therefore, the Qin State did not see much impact from the snow disaster.

This is also the reason why Han Fei said before that the current national power of Qin is much stronger than he imagined.

In this day and age.

The ability to withstand natural disasters also represents a country's national strength.

Originally, Han Fei thought that facing the snow disaster last year, it would be extremely rare to be able to achieve the scene he had seen in Qin before.

But until now.

When Han Fei saw the current living conditions of civilians in Hanzhong County, he truly saw his 'ideal future'.

Today, Hanzhong has completed Mo Jun’s new round of planning.

Along the way.

Han Fei saw square pieces of farmland, neatly arranged under the blue sky and white clouds. They looked like grids on a chessboard, which was pleasing to the eye.

Between the fields, ditches that were obviously newly built were pouring clear stream water into the fields along the ditches. The source of the stream water was the rotating waterwheels.

Nowadays, the spring planting period has just begun. In ancient times, the spring planting period lasted relatively long. Due to the lack of cattle, in many places, one village often shared one cattle, and the efficiency of plowing was very slow.

When I came here, whether it was Korea or Qin, most of the fields I encountered along the way had only about one-tenth of the rice seedlings planted.

But here in Hanzhong, Han Fei looked around and saw that at least half of the fields were already filled with vibrant green.

And the other half is farmland.

At this moment, most of the farmers are controlling the [Qu Yuan Plow] and are hard at work driving the cattle.

Occasionally passing by one or two villages, Han Fei saw neatly arranged houses with red bricks and blue tiles, or houses made of bluestone.

Common people wore clothes made of rough material, but thick and neat.

After getting closer.

Basically, you can see a smile on the other person's face, and a pair of bright eyes full of hope for the future.

If the scenes he saw in other places in Qin State only made Han Fei feel solemn.

So the scene he saw in Hanzhong at this moment made Han Fei silent.

Not even just him.

Even Yan Lingji, who had been following Han Fei all the way, was also silent.

On the surface.

In fact, the current living environment of the people in Hanzhong County is a very ordinary "countryside pastoral" scene.

However, only people who live in troubled times can feel firsthand how rare such an 'ordinary' environment is in this era.

Even for the vast majority of people in disasters, this kind of 'ordinary' rural life may have been a dream that they can only dream of in their lifetime.

······

before evening.

Han Fei, Gai Nie and his team arrived at [Tieshi Town].

If Han Fei and others saw the peace and tranquility of Hanzhong County before, then in [Tieshi Town], Han Fei saw part of the prosperity and enthusiasm of Hanzhong County.

Mayor Tie received Han Fei, Gai Nie and his party with great enthusiasm, and brought them to stay at the most expensive inn in Tieshi Town.

South Korea is different from Qin.

South Korea does not have such strict legal restrictions on businessmen. However, the current commercial market in South Korea cannot even compare with [Shengping Town], even the current prosperity of [Iron Stone Town].

This is not a problem of market stock, but a gap in market vitality.

So not surprisingly, Han Fei suffered from insomnia just like Ying Zheng.

Early the next morning.

With a pair of 'panda eyes', Han Fei and Yan Lingji embarked on the road to [Shengping Town].

Half a day later.

Everyone arrived at [Shengping Town] smoothly.

As the snow melts, [Shengping Town] becomes more prosperous with the arrival of spring, and the number of people is more than three times that of the last time Ying Zheng arrived in winter.

First time here.

Even Han Fei, the ninth son of South Korea, couldn't help but be shocked by the prosperity of [Shengping Town] and his brain shut down for a moment.

After all, for people in this era, the population density of [Shengping Town], where people are so crowded that they can't even walk on the road, is really a bit too scary.

And not only Han Fei, but also a little head stuck out of the window of the carriage where Gai Nie and Fusu were riding not far ahead, looking out with curiosity.

It's just compared to the cars of Han Fei and Yan Lingji.

Because Fusu's carriage was guarded by dragon and tiger guards, the merchants and people he met along the way all moved out of the way after seeing the carriage.

Han Fei, on the other hand, bumped into Fusu's car and followed him smoothly through the central avenue of [Shengping Town].

And just when the two sides were about to arrive at [Mo Mansion].

Suddenly.

A dense crowd not far away caught Han Fei's attention.

"Take a look, take a look! This is the mythological novel "Journey to the West" written by Mr. Shengpingjun himself. It has 860,000 words in total and is divided into ten volumes. Each volume only costs 150 big coins. "

"One hundred and fifty big bucks can't buy you a loss or be fooled."

"Come and take a look, take a look!"

Writing a book is something that every famous person wants to do and will do now, so Han Fei was not surprised to hear that Lord Shengping had written a book.

But when he heard the second half of the hawker's words, Han Fei was stunned.

Eighty-six million words?

Ten volumes?

Only one hundred and fifty bucks per roll?

Are the works of the dignified Lord Shengping sold so cheaply?

And 860,000 words, how many scrolls of bamboo slips would it take to fill it all? With such a price, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to earn back the money from the bamboo slips!

Just when Han Fei was confused.

suddenly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a customer walking out, holding a book in his hand.

"This thing..."

Han Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Han Fei could not clearly see the words in the book in the customer's hand due to the distance, he suddenly remembered the two people riding fast horses he had met at the entrance of Qinping Avenue.

If he remembered correctly, the two of them seemed to be carrying something similar to this in the package they were carrying on their backs.

"Yan Lingji, please wait here for a while, I'll go down there."

Han Fei turned to Yan Lingji and said something, and then got out of the carriage without waiting for her reply.

And just when he got off the carriage, he saw Ganie on the carriage in front of him getting off the carriage at the same time.

The two nodded to each other.

Then they each walked into this newly opened bookstore.

The bookstore was already overcrowded, and it took the two of them a while to squeeze into the bookstore.

There were no other books in the bookstore at this time, only "Journey to the West". Han Fei picked up a book on the shelf, opened it and took a look.

But just this glance made Han Fei's pupils shrink suddenly.

"Shopkeeper, I want a complete set of "Journey to the West"."

The next second.

Han Fei decisively shouted to the bookstore owner, then took out several gold coins from his pocket and slapped them on the counter.

The complete set of "Journey to the West" costs a total of 1,500 coins, which is already four gold coins + 60 coins. Such a price is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

However, no one who entered the bookstore to buy books at this moment thought that the price was expensive.

Quite the opposite.

Almost everyone is very happy to spend money.

The clerk in the bookstore quickly helped Han Fei wrap up a full set of books. Han Fei picked up the books and returned to the carriage, and then reopened a volume of "Journey to the West" and read it carefully.

The more he looked, the duller Han Fei's expression became: "All schools of thought... are in big trouble."
