Destiny Only Han

Chapter 127 Tea is for brewing!
The southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

After Liu Ying finished dealing with the coal and iron trading company, she continued to head north.

Before the first batch of good steel has not been forged into various tools, he does not plan to start the cement project immediately.

After all, the slag needed to make cement happens to be the waste after ironmaking.

To be an industry, try to be an industrial chain.

The purpose of his going north now is because of the memory of later generations.

Chenggu County is known as the "Hometown of Citrus", and there are wild tea trees growing on the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

The purpose of looking for citrus is naturally to wait until the future to make glass jars, which are used to make canned fruits and jams, so as to improve oneself and the happiness of the world.

Although there were very few types of citrus in this period, the plants were actually a very unscrupulous type.

Reproductive isolation cannot be used as a criterion to define species at all.

For example, if three veteran independent species of the citrus genus, orange, pomelo, and citron, are planted in the same area, then within a few years, many of the large categories of orange, lime, mandarin, grapefruit, and lemon can be obtained. a subcategory...

As for tea, it's even simpler.

Tea in this period existed as a kind of vegetable, that is to say, in the vegetable soup that people ate, it was stewed with tea...

As a 'traveler', Liu Ying naturally wants to correct their 'mistakes'!
Tea is for brewing!
Of course, some teas have other uses...

In the jungle, according to the guidance of the Chenggu County engineer, Liu Ying took out the ribbon from her arms and marked the orange trees he pointed out and the tea trees growing in the wild.

He plans to cut down all the miscellaneous trees here, and then expand the range of tea gardens and orchards.

Anyway, the mountains here are ownerless, so why can't he take possession of them?
According to the rules set by Xiao He, wouldn't it be enough for him to pay taxes truthfully?
Of course, the oranges have just bloomed at this time, and it is still early to bear fruit, so they can escape disaster for the time being.

The tea tree was not so lucky, and Liu Ying didn't know if it was the Qingming of later generations, but who cares, since it's here, naturally it can't be empty.

He instructed Chongda Jixin to pick off all the buds from the tea tree together.

When I return to Nanzheng, I will try to unlock the skill tree of stir-frying tea. If the tea I make is delicious, I will keep it for myself. If it is not delicious, I will give it to Lao Liu... make arrangements.

Berkshire.

In the valley surrounded by mountains, outside the weeds and vines taller than a person, there is a winding and twisted painted road.

On the painted road, an army is advancing rapidly.

Judging from the battle flags carried by the soldiers in the army, this was the Han army led by Lin Zhi and Li Shang.

Fighting in the land of Bashu, there is no room for chariots to be deployed, so the army is almost all infantry except for a very small number of cavalry used for scouting.

At this moment, amidst the creaking of the cart, Lin Zhi and Li Shang stood together, listening to the scout's report.

In the distance is the county seat of Langzhong County, but as mentioned in the information Xiao He grabbed, there is no city wall in Langzhong County!
In other words, it's just a row of simple fences that distinguish the city from the outside.

Where the city wall is built, there are only the county treasury and the county government.

And the scouts also discovered another problem, that is, the people in Langzhong County didn't know that there was an army of ten thousand people coming towards them!

Lin Zhi and Li Shang looked at each other, and they both saw the same joy in each other's eyes.

I didn't expect that the first battle in Berkshire could be so simple!
"What are you waiting for?"

Li Shang said loudly: "I will take three thousand Gaoyang's children to raise the army, march quickly to conquer Langzhong, and the general will lead the army behind, escorting the luggage and moving slowly."

Lin Zhi nodded. He is the commander in this battle, so there is no need to compete with his subordinates for the first victory, and after defeating Bashu, the first victory is naturally his.

…………

Langzhong County.

The Sun Also Rises.

Although the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes, for the officials and common people here, everything is the same as before.

In the county magistrate's mansion, the county magistrate of Langzhong, crossing his legs, is judging a case of stealing eggs.

The plaintiff said that the defendant stole the eggs laid by his chickens, but the defendant said that the plaintiff's chickens went to his vegetable field every day to steal vegetables to eat, so the eggs should naturally belong to him.

However, the county magistrate has his own opinion, that is, both of them will be fined to serve 30 days of corvee, and then the chicken and eggs will be confiscated.

After all, according to the two of them, the plaintiff's chickens stole the vegetables from the defendant's house, and the defendant stole the eggs.

According to the Qin law formulated by Li Si, no matter how much the stolen item is worth, he will be convicted of theft!

So the chicken will be confiscated.

As for plaintiffs and eggs?

The former is not strict in discipline, so he sits with the latter.

The magistrate of Langzhong County raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, punishment is unpredictable, but power is unpredictable!
After a while, the defendant and the plaintiff looked at each other in the lobby, shouting for injustice, and were immediately dragged down by the yamen servants, ready to give each of them ten lashes for the crime of disturbing the court.

But before the county magistrate could hear the crying father and mother shouting outside, there were suddenly hoarse screams and rumbling footsteps from the street in the distance.

The county magistrate frowned, and ordered a yamen servant to go out to check, but from his perspective, he saw that the yamen servant Ding walked to the door, froze, and slowly fell backwards, bleeding all over the ground.

"The unreasonable people rebelled, or the Ba people in the mountains have gone down the mountain again?"

He stood up in a jerk, and ran towards the backyard, preparing to hide in the tunnel with his whole family to take shelter for a while.

When the thief had robbed enough, he left naturally.

But before he ran into the backyard, he felt a pain in his back, and an arrow stained with blood appeared on his chest.

"Ah, I'm dead..."

…………

In Langzhong County, when Lin Zhi led the army to arrive, Li Shang had already started organizing manpower, posted the content of the three chapters of the contract everywhere, and began to appease the people in the city, completely taking over the arsenal and the official warehouse.

He looked at Li Shang who was busy in the city, and walked over slowly: "I have an idea, what do you think?"

Li Shang stopped in his tracks: "General, please speak."

Lin Zhi thought deeply and said, "You and I divide our troops here. I attack Shu County and you attack Ba County."

Li Shang frowned: "Then, will there be some shortage of troops? If they encounter their main force, will it be a little too big to rely on thousands of people?"

Lin Zhi pointed to the distance: "Look at that."

Li Shang took a closer look, and there were hundreds of men with animal skins around their waists, with hairstyles and clothes that were completely different from those in the Central Plains.

Lin Zhi explained: "These are the local Ba people. They also suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time, but they never dared to resist the Qin people until we came."

Li Shang's eyes lit up: "The general means that after we divide the troops, we can recruit Ba people along the way to enrich the army?"

Lin Zhi nodded: "This is what Young Master said, unite all forces that can be united."

Li Shang asked, "Which son is it?"

Lin Zhi looked like, are you an idiot: "Of course it's Mr. Liu Ying!"

Li Shang suddenly realized: "No wonder the young master said that he would go south with you and me! So, did he expect such a thing to happen? Is the young master already so good at such a young age?"

Lin Zhi looked sideways and asked, "Do you know Xian Cheng Jun Fan Kuai?"

Li Shang nodded: "During the Battle of Jidong that day, Mr. Xiancheng and I were in the left-wing army. This man is extremely brave and resourceful...Huh? Why does the general ask this?"

Lin Zhi said seriously: "For a person like Mr. Xian Cheng, most of the time, he is the only one who looks up to the young master! You and I must not underestimate the young master just because he is young!"

Li Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, obviously keeping Lin Zhi's words in his heart.

Dang County, Chenliu County.

Outside the county seat, the red flag was unfurled, and the camp of the Chu army stretched for more than ten miles.

This is Xiang Yu's army. After he learned that Liu Bang had burned down the plank road, he led his troops out of Guanzhong and headed east.

After all, a dilapidated pass is not worth his time wasting there.

The most urgent task now is to put pressure on Emperor Yi Xiong Xin to drive him out of Pengcheng as soon as possible, and then gather the power of Western Chu to deal with Tian Rong of Qi State.

He divided Qidi into three, just because he didn't want to see a powerful enemy at the door of his house.

But there is another thing that, although not so urgent, can be done without breaking a sweat.

That is Yingchuan County, Han Wangcheng.

On that day, he entrusted Han Wangcheng, but he wanted to divide Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, and then cut off Liu Bang's arm.

Now Liu Bang is very satisfied to be his king of Han, so why should he keep Han Wangcheng, who has achieved nothing, to be the king of South Korea.

Why should such a rich place like Yingchuan County be controlled by such a person?
Just because he is a royal family in Korea?

Ha ha.

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?
…………

Sishui County, Pengcheng, Chu Palace.

The magnificent and magnificent palace was deserted at the moment, Xiong Xin was sitting in the palace, and in front of him was Huan Chu with his helmet on.

Huan Chu was the envoy sent by Xiang Yu to let Xiong Xin move to Chen County.

Outside the main hall, the sound of shouting and killing was deafening.

The court guards loyal to Xiong Xin are fighting bravely with the Chu army brought by Huan Chu.

But it was obvious that the palace guards couldn't beat the experienced Chu army, not only lay dead bodies, but even Xiong Xin fell into Huan Chu's control.

However, Huan Chu didn't order the palace guards to surrender. The order he received was to 'invite' Xiong Xin to Chen County, but he didn't say that Xiong Xin was allowed to take the guards on the road together.

Moreover, since the other party dared to draw their swords, it meant that they were already dead.

In the palace, Xiong Xin smiled miserably and sat up slowly.

He raised his legs high, stepped over the corpses in front of him, and walked out of the hall step by step, with a calm face and steady steps, trying to preserve the last dignity of the Xiong clan.

It's just that his body seems to have become rickety.

Standing in the hall, Huan Chu stared at Xiong Xin without saying a word, neither urging nor flattering him, just watching him quietly, quietly watching a short-lived restoration of Xiong's Chu Kingdom, This fall.
